    Abstract Background: A new type of silver alloy hydrogel-coated (SAH) catheter has been shown to prevent bacterial adhesion and colonization by generating a microcurrent, and to block the retrograde infection pathway. However, these have only been confirmed in ordinary patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a SAH catheter for preventing urinary tract infections in critically ill patients.
    Methods: This was a prospective single-center, single-blind, randomized, controlled study. A total of 132 patients requiring indwelling catheterization in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between October 2022 and February 2023 and who met the study inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the SAH catheter group received a SAH catheter, while patients in the conventional catheter group received a conventional siliconized latex Foley catheter. The main outcome measure was the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Secondary outcome indicators included urine positivity for white blood cells and positive urine cultures on 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, and 14 days after catheterization, number of viable bacteria in the catheter biofilm on day 14, pathogenic characteristics of positive urine cultures, length of ICU stay, overall hospital stay, ICU mortality, and 28-day mortality. All the data were compared between the two groups.
    Results: A total of 68 patients in the conventional catheter group and 64 patients in the SAH catheter group were included in the study. On day 7 after catheter placement, the positivity rate for urinary white blood cells was significantly higher in the conventional catheter group than in the SAH catheter group (33.8%
    Conclusion: SAH catheters can effectively inhibit the formation of catheter-related bacterial biofilms in critically ill patients and reduce the incidence of CAUTIs, compared with conventional siliconized latex Foley catheters; however, regular replacement of the catheter is still necessary.

    Abstract Primary blast lung injury (PBLI) is a common cause of casualties in wars, terrorist attacks, and explosions. It can exist in the absence of any other outward signs of trauma, and further develop into acute lung injury (ALI) or a more severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The pathogenesis of PBLI at the cellular and molecular level has not been clear. Damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) is a general term for endogenous danger signals released by the body after injury, including intracellular protein molecules (HMGB1, histones, s100s, heat shock proteins, eCIRP, etc.), secretory protein factors (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, VEGF, complements, etc.), purines and pyrimidines and their derived degradation products (nucleic acids, ATP, ADP, UDPG, uric acid, etc.), and extracellular matrix components (hyaluronic acid, fibronectin, heparin sulfate, biglycan, etc.). DAMPs can be detected by multiple receptors including pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). The study of DAMPs and their related signaling pathways, such as the mtDNA-triggered cGAS-YAP pathway, contributes to revealing the molecular mechanism of PBLI, and provides new therapeutic targets for controlling inflammatory diseases and alleviating their symptoms. In this review, we focus on the recent progress of research on DAMPs and their signaling pathways, as well as the potential therapeutic targets and future research directions in PBLI.

    Abstract Objectives: To compare clinical outcomes in patients with severe pneumonia according to the diagnostic strategy used.
    Methods: In this retrospective, nested, case-control study, patients with severe pneumonia who had undergone endotracheal aspirate (ETA) metagenomic next-generation sequencing of (mNGS) testing (n = 53) were matched at a ratio of 1 to 2 (n = 106) by sex, age, underlying diseases, immune status, disease severity scores, and type of pneumonia with patients who had undergone bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) mNGS. The microbiological characteristics and patient's prognosis of the two groups were compared.
    Results: An overall comparison between the two groups showed no significant differences in bacterial, fungal, viral, or mixed infections. However, subgroup analysis of 18 patients who received paired ETA and BALF mNGS showed a complete agreement rate for the two specimens of 33.3%. There were more cases for whom targeted treatment was initiated (36.79% vs. 22.64%; P = 0.043) and fewer cases who received no clinical benefit after mNGS (5.66% vs. 15.09%; P = 0.048) in the BALF group. The pneumonia improvement rate in the BALF group was significantly higher than in the ETA group (73.58% vs. 87.74%, P = 0.024). However, there were no significant differences in ICU mortality or 28-day mortality.
    Conclusions: We do not recommend using ETA mNGS as the first-choice method for analyzing airway pathogenic specimens from severe pneumonia patients.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for infections in critically ill patients.
    Methods: Comparison of diagnostic performance of mNGS and conventional microbiological testing for pathogens was analyzed in 234 patients. The differences between immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals in mNGS-guided anti-infective treatment adjustment were also analyzed.
    Results: The sensitivity and specificity of mNGS for bacterial and fungal detection were 96.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 93.5%-99.6%) and 83.1% (95% CI, 75.2%-91.1%), and 85.7% (95% CI, 71.9%-99.5%) and 93.2% (95% CI, 89.7%-96.7%), respectively. Overall, 152 viruses were detected by mNGS, but in which 28 viruses were considered causative agents. The proportion of mNGS-guided beneficial anti-infective therapy adjustments in the immunocompromised group was greater than in the immunocompetent group (48.5% vs 30.1%;
    Conclusion: mNGS might be a promising technology to provide precision medicine for critically ill patients with infection.

    Abstract Repetitive low-level blast (rLLB) exposure is a potential risk factor for the health of soldiers or workers who are exposed to it as an occupational characteristic. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are susceptible to external blast waves and produce pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effect of rLLB exposure on AMs is still unclear. Here, we generated rLLB waves through a miniature manual Reddy-tube and explored their effects on MH-S cell morphology, phenotype transformation, oxidative stress status, and apoptosis by immunofluorescence, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), western blotting (WB) and flow cytometry. Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) or PDTC was used to verify the role of the Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway in these processes. Results showed that rLLB treatment could cause morphological irregularities and cytoskeletal disorders in MH-S cells and promote their polarization to the M1 phenotype by increasing iNOS, CD86 and IL-6 expression. The molecular mechanism is through the Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway. Moreover, we found reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst, Ca

    Abstract Repetitive low-level blast (rLLB) exposure is a potential risk factor for the health of soldiers or workers who are exposed to it as an occupational characteristic. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are susceptible to external blast waves and produce pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effect of rLLB exposure on AMs is still unclear. Here, we generated rLLB waves through a miniature manual Reddy-tube and explored their effects on MH-S cell morphology, phenotype transformation, oxidative stress status, and apoptosis by immunofluorescence, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), western blotting (WB) and flow cytometry. Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) or PDTC was used to verify the role of the Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway in these processes. Results showed that rLLB treatment could cause morphological irregularities and cytoskeletal disorders in MH-S cells and promote their polarization to the M1 phenotype by increasing iNOS, CD86 and IL-6 expression. The molecular mechanism is through the Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway. Moreover, we found reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst, Ca 2+ accumulation, mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, and early apoptosis of MH-S cells. Taken together, our findings suggest rLLB exposure may cause M1 polarization and early apoptosis of AMs. Fortunately, it is blocked by specific inhibitors GDC-0068 or PDTC. This study provides a new treatment strategy for preventing and alleviating health damage in the occupational population caused by rLLB exposure.
