Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of children with septic shock and analyze the drug resistance of blood culture positive bacteria.Methods:The clinical data,positive blood culture strains and drug sensitivity results of 127 children with septic shock admitted to the Department of Intensive Care Medicine of Hunan Children's Hospital from September 2015 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 134 strains of bacteria or fungi were isolated from the blood culture samples of 127 children with septic shock,and gram-negative strains were the main ones,accounting for 67.16% (90/134).Haemophilus influenzae and Escherichia coli were the main gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 38.81% (52/134) and 20.15% (27/134)，respectively,while Streptococcus pneumoniae was the main gram-positive bacteria,accounting for 8.21% (11/134),and Candida albicans was the main fungus,accounting for 10.45% (14/134).The number of white blood cells,the levels of serum C-reactive protein,procalcitonin,venous blood sugar and arterial blood lactic acid in patients were all significantly higher than normal values,and the white blood cells count and neutrophil percentage in gram-positive bacterial infections were significantly higher than those with gram-negative bacterial infections and fungal infections( P<0.05).Procalcitonin increased most obviously when infected by gram-negative bacteria,and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05).Gram-positive strains were sensitive to vancomycin,teicoplanin,and linezolid,but only 50% of Streptococcus pneumoniae were sensitive to penicillin.Gram-negative strains had relatively high drug resistance,among which Klebsiella pneumoniae were only highly resistant to imipenem,cilastatin and levofloxacin,reaching 50%.Haemophilus influenzae was resistant to cephalosporins and β-amides enzyme antibiotic,and the drug sensitivity rate of lactamase antibiotics was high,with a resistance rate of 50% only to ampicillin,cefuroxime,amikacin,and compound sulfamethoxazole.There were not many fungal strains,and most antifungal drugs were effective against blood culture-positive fungi. Conclusion:The main pathogens of infection in children with septic shock are gram-negative bacteria,and have high resistance to general antibiotics.We should pay attention to their drug resistance when using antibiotics empirically.

Objective:To investigate the incidence characteristics and influencing factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in rural Uyghur ethnic group residents in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and to provide scientific evidence for early identification and prevention of NAFLD for residents.Methods:A total of 10 158 participants were included from the Xinjiang Uygur ethnic group population cohort. A prospective cohort study and Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis were used to explore the influencing factors and clustering of NAFLD, and the dose-response relationship between related biochemical indicators and the risk of NAFLD was studied using a restricted cubic spline.Results:The cumulative incidence rate of NAFLD was 6.9%, and the incidence density of NAFLD was 12.06/1 000 person-years. The incidence density of NAFLD in females was higher than in males (14.72/1 000 person-years vs. 9.17/1 000 person-years, P<0.001). The incidence density of NAFLD gradually increased with age in the total population, both men and women (all P<0.001). In the general population, an education level of junior high school or above was a protective factor for NAFLD, while older age, divorce, widowhood, overweight, obesity, hypertension, increased glomerular filtration rate, decreased HDL-C, increased LDL-C, and increased ALT were risk factors for NAFLD. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), HDL-C, LDL-C, and ALT were non-linearly correlated with the incidence of NAFLD, and there was a significant dose-response relationship between them. Only 19.1% of residents had no NAFLD risk factors; over 80.9% had ≥1 NAFLD risk factors. The risk of NAFLD increased with the number of risk factors. Conclusions:The incidence of NAFLD in rural Uygur ethnic group residents in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps was relatively low, but most residents had one or more risk factors for NAFLD. Prevention and control of NAFLD in this population cannot be ignored. In addition, people of older age, divorced or widowed, low education level, overweight or obese, hypertension, and abnormal eGFR, HDL-C, LDL-C, and ALT were the high-risk groups of NAFLD that need to be paid attention to in this population.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in serum metabolites of mice with radiation-induced intestinal injury under the intervention of baicalein and the changing characteristics of endogenous biological small molecules during the process of baicalein's participation in the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced intestinal injury through the metabolomics method based on GC-MS technology,in order to explore the potential regulatory mechanism of baicalein.METHODS A mouse radioactive intestinal injury model was established and randomly divided into normal control group,model group,low-dose baicalein group and high-dose baica-lein group.Baicalein was administered by gavage.Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)technology was used to analyze the serum samples of mice in each group,and differential metabolites were screened through partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA).Potential metabolic pathways were analyzed with MetaboAnalyst.RESULTS The pathological sections of mouse intesti-nal tissue showed that the high-dose and low-dose baicalein groups had a certain protective effect on radiation-induced intestinal dam-age.Metabolomic analysis showed that there were significant differences in the metabolic profiles of the blank control group,model group,low-dose and high-dose baicalein administration groups.After intragastric administration of baicalein,the endogenous metabo-lites in mice with radiation intestinal injury tended to normalize.The study screened out a total of 11 potential metabolic markers and 5 related metabolic pathways,among which pathways related to glucose metabolism,glutathione pathway,and ammonia metabolism were particularly significant.CONCLUSION Baicalein has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on radiation-induced intestinal in-jury;baicalein participates in glucose metabolism and glutathione metabolism,and improving the endogenous substance disorder caused by radiation is its potential mechanism of action.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of anterolateral mini-incision assisted reduction with InterTan intramedullary nail in the treatment of elderly refractory femoral intertrochanteric fractures to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods Fifty-eight elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures admitted and treated in this hospital from August 2020 to April 2023 were selected as the study sub-jects and divided into the observation group and control group accroding to the operation program,29 cases in each group.The observation adopted the anterolateral mini-incision assisted reduction with InterTan intramed-ullary nail,in which there were 6 males and 23 females,the age averaged(86.14±4.98)years old.The control group adopted the closed reduction InterTan intramedullary nail therapy,in which there were 8 males and 21 females,the age averaged(86.33±5.09)years old.The intraoperative bleeding volume,hospitalization dura-tion,incidence rate of fracture related complications,operation time,postoperative fracture reduction quality,postoperative medial cortical support type and postoperative hip joint Harris score were compared between the two groups.Results The two groups obtained the followed up,the follow up time was 6-12 months,with an average(11.45±1.59)months.There were no statistically significant differences in the intraoperative bleed-ing volume,hospitalization duration,incidence rate of fracture related complications between two groups(P＞0.05).The operation time in the observation group was(88.79±29.58)min,which in the control group was(70.66±24.47)min,and there was statistical difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The excellent and good rate of fracture reduction quality in the observation group was 100.00％,which in the control group was 75.86％,and the difference between the two groups had statistical significance(P＜0.05).The propor-tion of positive and neutral medial cortical support in the observation group was 96.55％,which in control group was 72.41％,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The hip Harris score in the observation group was(76.33±12.71)points,which in the control group was(68.39±13.17)points,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The eld-erly patients with refractory femoral intertrochanteric fracture are often combined with multiple underlying diseases,and the surgical risk is extremely high.Adopting anterolateral mini-incision assisted reduction with InterTan intramedullary nail fixation treatment could achieve the satisfactory reduction and fixation without increasing obvious trauma and the effect is reliable.

Objective:To investigate the association of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) with triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and TyG-related indicators in Uyghur populations of The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.Methods:Based on the cohort of the Uygur population of The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, 11 833 study subjects were included. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of CVD in each quartile of TyG and TyG-related indicators. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between TyG and CVD, TyG-related indicators and CVD. Framingham CVD risk score model (Framingham model) was used to evaluate whether the addition of TyG and TyG-related indicators could improve the predictive ability of the model. The potential mediating role of the TyG in the association between obesity and CVD was examined through mediation effect analysis.Results:The average age of the subjects was (37.00±13.67) years-old, and 51.0% were male. The median follow-up time was 5.67 years, with 1 288 CVD events. The cumulative incidence of CVD increased with the increase of TyG and TyG-related indicators quartiles, and compared with the Q1 group, the risk of CVD in the Q4 group of TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WHtR increased by 20% ( HR=1.20, 95% CI: 1.01-1.42), 77% ( HR=1.77, 95% CI: 1.46-2.16) and 68% ( HR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.36-2.09), respectively. After adding TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WHtR to the Framingham model, respectively, the model's area under the curve, net reclassification improvement, and integrated discrimination improvement were improved. In the association between BMI, WHtR, and CVD, the proportion of mediating effects mediated by the TyG index was 10.55% and 11.50%. Conclusions:Elevated levels of TyG and TyG-related indicators were strongly associated with the risk of CVD in the Uyghur population of The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, with TyG-BMI being the most closely correlated with CVD. Early monitoring of TyG-BMI helps identify high-risk groups of CVD.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab(RTX) as remission-mainten-ance therapy in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA) associated vasculitis(AAV).Methods:Patients with AAV, including granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), treated with rituximab (RTX) in Peking Union Medical College Hospital during September 2005 to June 2021 were included into this study. Clinical data, relapse rate, time of first relapse and adverse events were collected and analyzed. The cumulative relapse rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier, t test, and Man-Whithey U test and chi-square were used to compare differences between two groups. Results:① Thirty-nine AAV patients were enrolled, including 36 GPA and 3 MPA. During the 20(3, 104) months follow-up, 59.0%(23/39) patients had suffered relapses. The time for first relapse was 11(3, 42) months after remission. ② There were no difference in the relapse rate [60.0%(18/30) vs 55.6%(5/9), χ2=0.06, P=1.000), the time of first relapse [15(3, 42) vs 10(9, 30), Z=0.45, P=0.678], CD19 + B [23.5 (5, 148) cell/μl vs 3(2, 15) cell/μl, Z=0.57, P=0.605] and serum IgG [7.09(5.13, 13.90) g/L vs 9.72(5.32, 12.0) g/L, Z=0.36, P=0.770] between standard dose and low-dose groups. The rate of major relapse-free was significantly less in patients treated with standard dose than patients with reduced dose of RTX {87.1%[95% CI(73.4%, 100.8R%)] vs 64.3%[95% CI(23.1%, 105.4%)], χ2=7.59, P=0.006}. ③ There were no difference in relapse rate [50.0%(3/6) vs 60.6%(20/33), χ2=0.24, P=0.674], time of first relapse [23(6, 25) vs 11(3, 42), Z=0.05, P=0.982], CD19 + B[35(15, 50) cell/μl vs 10(0, 148) cell/μl, Z=0.95, P=0.382] and serum IgG[6.70(5.91, 7.49) g/L vs 7.69(3.78, 13.90) g/L, Z=0.48, P=0.700] between the fixed interval dosage and the on-demand dosage groups. There was no difference in the rate of major relapse-free between the two groups (100% vs 77.8%, χ2=1.79, P=0.181). ④ The incidence of infusion reaction was 5.1%(2/39) and infection was 20.5%(8/39). Serum IgG level was 4.37(3.78, 13.4) g/L at infection. There was no difference in safety between the standard and low-dose groups or between fixed interval and on-demand dosage groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:There is no significant difference in relapse rate bet-ween the standard RTX dose and low-dose RTX induction therapy group, but the major relapse rate is sign-ificantly reduced in the standard dose RTX therapy. The relapse rate of fixed intervals dosage group is similar to that of on-demand dosage group. The safety profile of the standard dose and low-dose induction therapy groups or fixed intervals and on-demand dosage groups is similiar.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of adalimumab (ADA) in Chinese Takayasu arteritis (TAK) patients.Methods:This study prospectively included ten refractory active TAK patients. The clinical, laboratory and imaging data of these patients before and after ADA treatment were collected and compared. Statistical analysis was carried out with the statistical product and service solutions (SPSS) program V.24.0. We performed univariate analysis by Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test for numerical data according to normality. The P value <0.05 was interpreted as statistically significant. Results:Ten TAK patients recruited in this study were all female, with a median age of 27.5 [25.0, 36.0] years. Fever or fatigue (6/10, 60%), neck pain (6/10, 60%), and limb claudication (4/10, 40%) were the most common clinical manifestations. The most common pattern of vascular involvement was Numano type V (7/10, 70%). The serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [22.0(4.5, 37.5) mm/1 h vs 7.0(4.5, 31.0) mm/1 h, Z=-2.04, P=0.042] and IL-6 level [12.3(3.6, 57.7) ng/L vs 2.8(2.0, 24.0) ng/L, Z=-2.19, P=0.028] reduced significantly after ADA treatment. The thickness of the common carotid artery intima decreased from 2.7(2.2, 4.0) mm to 2.3(1.6, 3.4) mm after ADA treatment ( Z=-1.99, P=0.046). The lumen diameter of the common carotid artery increased from 0.31(0.20, 0.42) cm to 0.37(0.29, 0.43) cm ( Z=-2.02, P=0.043). The glucocorticoid dosage was reduced from [11.2(6.9, 15.0) mg to 10.0(5.0, 13.1) mg, Z=-1.89, P=0.059]. In the 10 patients, 6 patients (60%) reached complete response, 2 patients (20%) reached the partial response, and the total effective rate was 80%(8/10). Pneumonia in one TAK patient was recorded. Conclusion:The results of this study suggest, that ADA can be used for refractory active TAK patients, and is safe.

Objective:To discuss the essentials of anesthesia management and treatment strategies for emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and to provide standardized recommendations for the development of emergency TAVR technology in China.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the relevant data of patients undergoing emergency TAVR surgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2019 to February 2021, including baseline patient characteristics, perioperative echocardiography data, prognosis and 30-day follow-up. Post-operative data were compared with pre-operative data using paired-sample test.Results:Thirteen patients, aged (75.62±9.63) years, underwent emergency TAVR surgery, and 6 of them were male. Eleven patients were New York Heart Association class Ⅳ. The preoperative Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was (20.31±15.15)%. The trans-aortic valve differential pressure was significantly reduced after surgery [(68.92±30.66)mmHg vs. (2.70±2.36)mmHg, P<0.01]. Two patients died within 30 days after surgery, one patient developed a new third degree atrioventricular block, one patient had a stroke, and 4 patients developed pulmonary infection. Conclusions:Emergency TAVR surgery is a feasible and effective rescue strategy for patients with aortic stenosis in critical condition. The establishment of anesthesia standard operation procedure process for TAVR surgery helps ensure homogenized medical behavior and good teamwork.

Objective: To analyze the latent category characteristics of lifestyle habits of adolescents aged 12-18 years, and to explore its relationship with obesity. Methods: Data of 3 252 adolescents aged 12-18 years in the established China Nutrition and Health Survey were used for this study. The contents of the survey include basic situation, living habits, and body mass index. Latent category analysis was performed on 11 lifestyle habits on eating and exercise. Chi square test was used to explore the relationship between the potential categories of lifestyle habits and obesity. Results: All the participants were classified into 3 categories:mixed ( n =1 092, 35.58%), passive ( n =765, 23.52%), and healthy ( n =1 395, 42.90%) groups. Body mass index showed significant differences across three categories ( χ 2=19.66, P ＜0.01). In the BMI classification of adolescents, the healthy type has the highest proportion in the light type, overweight type and obesity type(41.61%,47.87%,50.00%). Conclusion The lifestyle habits of adolescents aged 12-18 years show obvious classification characteristics, which have different correlations with obesity. Targeted interventions should be carried out according to the characteristics of lifestyle habits under different body mass index.

Objective:To analyze whether triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the value of TyG index in predicting CVD risk among Kazakh and Uighur population of Xinjiang.Methods:In this study, 5 375 Kazakh and Uygur people of Xinyuan county and Jiashi county were selected as the research objects. Subjects were divided into four groups based on the quartile of the TyG index level. Cox regression model was used to analyze the association between TyG index with the risk of CVD. The dose-response relationship between TyG index and CVD risk was described by restricted cubic splines. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were used to estimate the value of TyG index for predicting CVD. Mediating effect analysis was conducted to analyze the mediating effect of TyG index in the association between body mass index and CVD.Results:The age of subjects was 41.06（30.11，53.00）years old, with 46.30%（2 489/5 375）was male. After multivariate adjustment, there was an increasing trend between the risk of CVD and the higher TyG index Ptrend<0.001, compared with subjects of TyG index in Q1, the HR (95% CI) of Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups was 1.53, 1.23 and 1.73, respectively. Restricted cubic splines showed that TyG index was the linearly associated with the risk of CVD. TyG index could improve the prediction ability of Framingham model for the risk of CVD (NRI=0.106, P=0.010; IDI=0.003, P=0.030). The mediating effect analysis showed that in the relationship between body mass index and CVD, the TyG index had a mediating effect ( P<0.001), and the ratio of mediating effect was 12.69%. Conclusion:TyG index is an independent predictor of CVD risk among kazakh and Uygur population in Xinjiang and has a good predictive value for the risk of CVD.
