Article Abstract
This study used prescription data from four medical institutions in representative cities in Central, Western and Eastern China, focusing on changes in antibiotic use under the National Centralized Drug Procurement Policy (NCDP) and calculating the contribution of NCDP and non-NCDP varieties to the changes. In outpatient settings, NCDP policy had little impact on the antibiotic prescription rate. Changes in antibiotic utilization rates were predominantly driven by non-NCDP varieties, particularly newer-generation antibiotics with enhanced therapeutic profiles. However, the policy more effectively facilitated the substitution of non-NCDP varieties with NCDP varieties in inpatient settings compared to outpatient settings. The overall and injectable antibiotic utilization rates remained within the specified range and continued to decline, although the downward trend was more gradual compared to the pre-intervention period. In conclusion, the substitution effect of NCDP varieties has affected antibiotic usage in inpatient settings, directly influencing both the overall antibiotic prescription rate and the prescription rate of injectable antibiotics. Therefore, for optimizing antibiotic stewardship under China's NCDP policy, regular monitoring and managing of antibiotics is essential to ensure the rational use of antibiotics.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions are a key component of parenteral nutrition, and their fatty acid compositions may influence immune responses and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 compared clinical outcomes of hospitalized non-critical care patients receiving parenteral nutrition with either mixed oil or soybean oil lipid emulsions for at least 48 h. The primary outcome was a composite of the presence of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or an intra-abdominal collection diagnosed within 14 days of initiating parenteral nutrition.
Integrative Strategies Against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria: Synthesizing Novel Antimicrobial Frontiers for Global Health.

Concerningly, multidrug-resistant bacteria have emerged as a prime worldwide trouble, obstructing the treatment of infectious diseases and causing doubts about the therapeutic accidentalness of presently existing drugs. Novel antimicrobial interventions deserve development as conventional antibiotics are incapable of keeping pace with bacteria evolution. Various promising approaches to combat MDR infections are discussed in this review.

In alpine meadow regions, macropore flow is a critical but inadequately understood pathway for antibiotic transport. The complex relationship between macropore structure, flow dynamics, and solute properties presents a significant research gap. Methodological limitations hinder the accurate characterization of solute migration mechanisms due to complex macropore structures.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical public health issue, exacerbated by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Children are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections and are frequently prescribed antibiotics.
Objective: This study examined trends in antibiotic dispensing to children aged under 13 years in Australia between 2013 and 2023.
