Objective To investigate the pathogen distribution,imaging characteristics,and risk factors of pulmonary infection with multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) in patients with severe craniocerebral injury,and establish and verify the risk prediction model. Methods A total of 230 patients with severe craniocerebral injury complicated with pulmonary infection were collected retrospectively.According to the 7∶3 ratio,they were randomly assigned into a modeling group (161 patients) and a validation group (69 patients).The risk factors of MDRO pulmonary infection were predicted with the data of the modeling group for the establishment of the risk prediction model.The data of the validation group was used to validate the performance of the model. Results Among the 230 patients,68 patients developed MDRO pulmonary infection.The isolated drug-resistant bacteria mainly included multi-drug resistant ,multi-drug resistant ,multi-drug resistant ,and methicillin-resistant ,which accounted for 45.21%,23.29%,16.44%,and 15.07%,respectively.The imaging characteristics included pleural effusion,lung consolidation,and ground-glass shadow,which accounted for 72.06%,63.24%,and 45.59%,respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for MDRO pulmonary infection included age ≥60 years (=0.003),history of diabetes (=0.021),history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (=0.038),mechanical ventilation ≥7 d (=0.001),transfer from other hospitals (=0.008),and coma (=0.002).A risk scoring model was established with the value (rounded to the nearest integer) corresponding to each index in the regression equation.Specifically,the values of age ≥60 years,history of diabetes,history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,mechanical ventilation ≥7 d,transfer from other hospitals,and coma were 1,1,1,2,2,and 1,respectively (value ≥4 indicated a high-risk population).The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the modeling group and validation group were 0.845 and 0.809,respectively. Conclusions Multi-drug resistant is the most common pathogen of MDRO pulmonary infection in patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Pleural effusion,lung consolidation,and ground-glass shadow were the most common imaging characteristics.The established risk model has high discriminant validity in both the modeling group and the validation group.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne disease with a high fatality rate. The clinical diagnosis criteria mainly rely on white blood cell (WBC) and platelet (PLT), which, however, are of limited usage in identifying atypical SFTS. A multicenter study was performed in two hospitals from 2011 to 2023.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a common acute and severe reason of death in the intensive care unit. Although the pathogenesis is complicated and multifactorial, elevated inflammation and oxidative stress are considered as fundamental mechanisms for the progression of ALI. Anemonin is a natural compound with diverse biological properties including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare pulmonary malformation, typically characterized by asymptomatic presentation or recurrent pulmonary infections, with chest pain and hemothorax being exceedingly rare occurrences. The rupture and hemorrhage of maternal pulmonary sequestration during pregnancy pose a life-threatening condition that is challenging to diagnose. We present a case of a 37-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester who presented with acute progressive hemothorax, a complication arising from maternal pulmonary sequestration.

The sulfur-related metabolic status of during infection reveals cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase as a promising antifungal target.

Sulfur metabolism is an essential aspect of fungal physiology and pathogenicity. Fungal sulfur metabolism comprises anabolic and catabolic routes that are not well conserved in mammals, therefore is considered a promising source of prospective novel antifungal targets. To gain insight into sulfur-related metabolism during infection, we used a NanoString custom nCounter-TagSet and compared the expression of 68 key metabolic genes in different murine models of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, at 3 time-points, and under a variety of conditions.

Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory syndrome that can cause coagulation abnormalities, leading to damage in multiple organs. Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) are crucial in the development of sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC). The role of Parthenolide (PTL) in regulating SIC by protecting VECs remains unclear.
