The modified early warning score (MEWS), as a rapid assessment and early warning scoring tool, has been widely used in patients in China, which can help nurses to identify potentially critical patients early, but not in all clinical fields. Through the retrieval of the relevant literature of the clinical application of the MEWS in Wanfang Medical Database from 2011 to 2018, the SWOT analysis was used in this paper [strength (S), weakness (W), opportunities (O) and threats (T)] methods, to systematically analyze the advantages, problems existence, implementation opportunities and challenges in the clinical application of the MEWS in our country. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best cut-off value of MEWS in different diseases and to formulate standard early-warning intervention measures for MEWS, which may provide reference for clinical workers to carry out relevant research.

Uterus transplantation (UTx) has emerged from clinical trials and is expected to become the standard of care for uterine factor infertility. Uterus transplant candidates historically have had to meet strict eligibility criteria to participate in clinical trials. Continued application of psychologic selection criteria from clinical trial may hinder the expansion of UTx.

is a vital zoonotic pathogen known for its extensive drug resistance and ability to form biofilms, which contribute to its antibiotic resistance. In this study, the phage vB_C4, specifically targeting , was isolated and subjected to bioinformatic analysis and bacteriostatic activity assays. The combination of phage vB_C4 with antibiotics such as cephalothin and cefoxitin, which target the bacterial cell wall, resulted in a significantly enhanced bacteriostatic effect compared to either the phage or antibiotics alone.

Considering that the human microbiota plays a critical role in health and disease, an accurate and high-resolution taxonomic classification is thus essential for meaningful microbiome analysis. In this study, we developed an automatic system, named MultiTax pipeline, for generating taxonomy from full-length 16S rRNA sequences using the Genome Taxonomy Database and other existing reference databases. We first constructed the MultiTax-human database, a high-resolution resource specifically designed for human microbiome research and clinical applications.
