Objective To investigate the population density and seasonal fluctuations of Aedes albopictus in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, from 2021 to 2023, so as to provide insights into A. albopictus control and management of dengue fever. Methods The surveillance of A. albopictus density was performed in all surveillance sites assigned across all streets (townships) in Guangzhou City during the period from January to December from 2021 to 2023. The surveillance frequency was twice every half month from May to September, and once every month for the rest of a year. In each surveillance period, A. albopictus mosquito larvae were captured from indoor and outdoor small water containers in residential areas, parks, medical facilities, schools, other government sectors and social organizations, construction sites, special industries and others for mosquito species identification. Adult mosquitoes were captured using electric mosquito suction apparatus for species identification and gender classification. Adult mosquitoes and mosquito eggs were collected with mosquito and egg traps at the breeding and dwelling places of Aedes mosquitoes for identification. The mosquito oviposition index (MOI), Breteau index (BI), adult mosquito density index (ADI) and standard space index (SSI) were calculated. The A. albopictus density was classified into grades 0, 1, 2 and 3 in each surveillance site, with Grade 0 density defined eligible, and the eligible rate of A. albopictus density was calculated at all surveillance sites each year from 2021 to 2023. In addition, the changing trends in MOI, SSI, BI and ADI of A. albopictus were analyzed in Guangzhou City from 2021 to 2023. Results The eligible rates of A. albopictus density were 61.69%, 68.75% and 55.15% in surveillance sites of Guangzhou City from 2021 to 2023 (χ² = 297.712, P < 0.001), and appeared a tendency towards a reduction followed by a rise each year, which gradually reduced since January, maintained at a low level during the period between May and October, and gradually increased from November to December. The MOI, SSI, BI and ADI of A. albopictus all appeared a tendency towards a rise followed by a reduction in Guangzhou City during the period between January and December from 2021 to 2023. The BI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of June in 2021 (4.03), the first half of July in 2022 (3.89) and the last half of August in 2023 (5.02), and the SSI of A. albopictus peaked in the last half of June in 2021 (0.93), the last half of May in 2022 (0.59), and the last half of June (0.94) and the first half of September in 2023 (1.12). In addition, the MOI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of May in 2021 (8.64), the first half of June in 2022 (8.96), and the last half of May (10.21) and the last half of June in 2023 (10.89), and the ADI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of June in 2021 (3.41), the last half of June in 2022 (4.06), and the first half of July in 2023 (3.61). Conclusions The density of A. albopictus is high in Guangzhou City during the period from May to October, and the risk of local outbreak caused by imported dengue fever is high. Persistent intensified surveillance of the density and seasonal fluctuation of A. albopictus is recommended and timely mosquito prevention and control is required according to the fluctuation in the A. albopictus density.

BackgroundSevere mental disorders represent a major public health concern due to the high disability rates and substantial disease burden， which has garnered significant national attention and prompted their inclusion in public health project management systems. However， credible evidence regarding the current status of disease management and factors influencing disease stabilization among patients with severe mental disorders in Luzhou City， Sichuan Province， remains limited. ObjectiveTo investigate the current management status of patients with severe mental disorders in Luzhou City， Sichuan Province， and to analyze influencing factors of disease stabilization among patients under standardized care， so as to provide evidence-based insights for developing targeted management strategies to optimize clinical interventions for this patient population. MethodsIn March 2023， data were extracted from the Sichuan Mental Health Service Comprehensive Management Platform for patients with severe mental disorders in Luzhou City who received management between December 2017 and December 2022. Information on mental health service utilization and clinical status changes was collected. Trend analysis was conducted to evaluate temporal changes in key management indicators for severe mental disorders in Luzhou City. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing the disease stabilization or fluctuation of these patients. ResultsThis study enrolled a total of 20 232 patients. In Luzhou City， the stabilization rate and standardized management rate of severe mental disorders were 94.89% and 79.36% in 2017， respectively， which increased to 95.33% and 96.92% by 2022. The regular medication adherence rate rose from 34.42% in 2018 to 86.81% in 2022. In 2022， the regular medication adherence rate was 71.80% for schizophrenia， 55.26% for paranoid psychosis， and 51.43% for schizoaffective disorder. Multivariate analysis identified the following protective factors for disease stabilization： age of 18~39 years （OR=0.613， 95% CI： 0.409~0.918）， age of 40~65 years （OR=0.615， 95% CI： 0.407~0.931）， urban residence （OR=0.587， 95% CI： 0.478~0.720）， and regular medication adherence （OR=0.826， 95% CI： 0.702~0.973）. Risk factors for disease fluctuation included poor （OR=1.712， 95% CI： 1.436~2.040）， non-inclusion in care-support programs （OR=1.928， 95% CI： 1.694~2.193）， non-participation in community rehabilitation （OR=2.255， 95% CI： 1.930~2.634）， and intermittent medication adherence （OR=3.893， 95% CI： 2.548~5.946）. ConclusionThe stability rate， standardized management rate， and regular medication adherence rate of patients with severe mental disorders in Luzhou City have shown a year-by-year increase. Age， household registration status， economic condition， medication compliance， and community-based rehabilitation were identified as influencing factors for disease fluctuation in these patients. ［Funded by Luzhou Science and Technology Plan Project （number， 2022-ZRK-186）］

Pancreatic cancer is characterized by nerve invasion and a high mortality rate， and its pathological process depends on the complex interaction network between tumor and the nervous system. Based on the concept of “pancreatic cancer neuroecology”， this article analyzes the mechanism of action of peripheral motor nerve， sensory nerve， and central nerve in tumorigenesis， pain regulation， and cachexia formation and emphasizes the synergistic regulatory role of immune cells， Schwann cells， and extracellular matrix in the microenvironment of perineural invasion. At the same time， this article further elaborates on the metabolic interaction and chemotaxis between neuraxis and tumor， the effect on promoting chemotherapy resistance， and the dynamic relationship between neuroplasticity and tumor adaptability. In clinical practice， this article summarizes the key value of perineural invasion in prognostic evaluation， preoperative evaluation， and the selection of surgical strategy. In addition， this article reviews the basic research advances in the biomarkers and potential targets associated with perineural invasion in pancreatic cancer and points out the limitations of current model and transformation research. In the future， systematically analyzing the nerve-tumor-immune network and targeting its key nodes may provide multi-dimensional strategies and new breakthroughs for the precise intervention of pancreatic cancer， the reversal of drug resistance， and the relief of symptoms.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Shentong Zhuyutang combined with Dilongtang in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation （LDH） with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome， and its effect on nucleus pulposus reabsorption and immune-inflammatory factors， exploring its therapeutic mechanism from the perspective of reabsorption. MethodsA total of 120 patients with LDH from the Fourth Clinical Medical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine， treated between June 2020 and January 2023， were randomly divided into the control group （52 cases， with 8 dropouts） and the observation group （49 cases， with 11 dropouts） according to a random number table. The control group received routine treatment， while the observation group was treated with Shentong Zhuyutang combined with Dilongtang in addition to routine treatment. Visual Analogue Scale （VAS）， Oswestry Disability Index （ODI）， Japanese Orthopaedic Association （JOA） score， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score were measured before treatment and after 3 courses of treatment. Venous blood samples were collected for the determination of serological indexes. MR examination was performed during the 6-month follow-up to calculate the absorption rate. ResultsAfter treatment， both groups showed significant reductions in VAS， ODI， TCM syndrome score， serum tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， matrix metalloproteinase （MMP）-9， and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） levels， and a significant increase in JOA score compared with pre-treatment values （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group， the observation group showed significantly lower VAS， ODI， TCM syndrome score， serum TNF-α， MMP-9， and VEGF levels， and a significantly higher JOA score （P<0.05）. The proportion of nucleus pulposus reabsorption in the observation group was 57.14% （28/49）， significantly higher than 21.15% （11/52） in the control group （χ²=6.161， P<0.05）. ConclusionShentong Zhuyutang combined with Dilongtang can effectively relieve pain， improve lumbar function， and alleviate TCM clinical symptoms in LDH patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome. Imaging findings suggest that the treatment promotes the reabsorption of nucleus pulposus protrusion， while laboratory testing shows reduced serum levels of TNF-α， MMP-9， and VEGF， which contribute to the rehabilitation of patients.

The global distribution of medical resources is uneven and organ shortages are becoming increasingly serious. ASEAN countries have been working hard to explore and promote local organ transplantation in order to alleviate the serious imbalance between organ donation and organ transplantation needs. However, the development of cadaveric organ donation varies among ASEAN countries, and the cadaveric organ donation rate in most countries is generally low. Since 1991, China and ASEAN have evolved from dialogue to strategic cooperation, then to a community with a shared future, and further to a comprehensive strategic partnership, all demonstrating broad prospects for cooperation. This article analyzes the current situation and challenges of organ donation and transplantation in ASEAN countries, combining field visits and its own experience, and proposes strategies for strengthening international cooperation, optimizing policy environment, enhancing technical capabilities, and increasing public awareness in the field of organ donation and transplantation under the China-ASEAN development strategy framework. The aim is to build a more equitable, efficient, and sustainable organ donation and transplantation system, contributing to the realization of global public health security and a community of common health for mankind.

Diabetes mellitus(DM)is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and rapidly increasing. The ocular surface microbiota(OSM)consists of microbial communities that colonize the eye surface, mainly bacteria, and perform an important role in maintaining ocular health. Hyperglycemia creates a favorable microenvironment for the OSM, leading to an imbalance of the microflora. However, unpredictable changes in OSM are strongly associated with dry eye disease, corneal neuropathy, and infectious ocular surface diseases in environmental changes. In recent years, next-generation sequencing technology has been applied to detect the OSM and confirm that the eye microbiome is closely related to DM. Research indicates that dysbiosis of the OSM plays a critical role in the onset and progression of DM-related ocular surface diseases. This review investigates the correlation between OSM and patients with DM. Moreover, we provide a reference for the occurrence and development of diabetes-related ocular surface diseases and their treatment.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the management model of drugs used in investigator-initiated trial （IIT）. METHODS With benchmarking analysis， based on the practical work experience of a tertiary specialized hospital in the field of IIT drug management in Shanghai， a thorough review was conducted， involving relevant laws， regulations， and academic literature to establish benchmark criteria and the evaluation standards. Starting from the initiation of IIT projects， a detailed comparative analysis of key processes was carried out， such as the receipt， storage， distribution， use and recycling of drugs for trial. The deficiencies in the current management of IIT drugs were reviewed in detail and a series of optimization suggestions were put forward. RESULTS It was found that the authorized records of drug management were missing， the training before project implementation was insufficient， and the records of receipt and acceptance of IIT drugs were incomplete. In light of these existing problems， improvement measures were put forward， including strengthening the training of drug administrators and stipulating that only drug administrators with pharmacist qualifications be eligible to inspect and accept drugs， etc. The related systems were improved， and 17 key points of quality control for the management of IIT drugs were developed. CONCLUSIONS A preliminary IIT drug management system for medical institutions has been established， which helps to improve the institutional X2023076） framework of medical institutions in this field.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of osthole （OST） on skin wound healing and angiogenesis in rats by regulating the sonic hedgehog （SHH） signaling pathway. METHODS Full-layer skin defect wound model rats were established and then randomly separated into Model group， OST low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （OST-L group， OST-M group， OST-H group， 20， 30， 40 mg/kg OST）， high-dose OST+SHH inhibitor cyclopamide group （OST-H+cyclopamide group， 40 mg/kg OST+10 mg/kg cyclopamide）， with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 rats were selected as the control group. The wound healing of rats on 1， 7 and 14 days of administration was observed， and the wound healing rate of rats in each group was measured. The pathological changes and collagen deposition in rat wound tissue were observed； the levels of angiopoietin-1 （Ang-1） and basic fibroblast growth factor （bFGF） in wound tissue of rats were detected； the relative expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGFA） and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 （VEGFR-2） mRNA were also detected in wound tissue of rats； the protein expressions of VEGFA， VEGFR-2， SHH and glioma-associated oncogene homolog-1 （GLI1） were determined in wound tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with Model group， the healing rate of skin wound， relative expression of collagen protein， the levels of Ang-1 and bFGF， the mRNA and protein expressions of VEGFA and VEGFR-2， and the protein expressions of SHH and GLI1 were all significantly increased in OST-M and OST-H groups （P＜0.05）. The wound tissue underwent significant re- epithelialization， with reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and granulation tissue edema， and an increase in the number of new blood vessels. SHH inhibitor cycloparamide weakened the promoting effects of OST on skin wound healing and angiogenesis in rats. CONCLUSIONS OST may promote skin wound healing and angiogenesis in rats by activating the SHH signaling pathway.

Diabetic kidney disease （DKD） is a kidney disease caused by hyperglycemia，which is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes. Due to the high incidence of diabetes，the incidence of DKD has also increased year by year，and DKD has become a global public health problem. The pathogenesis of DKD is related to mechanisms such as oxidative stress，inflammation，renal fibrosis，and decreased mitophagy activity，which are developed under a variety of complex mechanisms. In traditional Chinese medicine，it is believed that the incidence of DKD is closely related to damp heat. Therefore，it is necessary to grasp the treatment method of clearing heat and removing dampness in clinical medication. Huangkui Capsules （HKC） have the effect of clearing damp heat，detoxifying， and detumescence. Because of its unique curative effect on DKD，HKC is often used in the treatment of DKD. HKC plays a role in the treatment of DKD with a variety of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes. In many laboratory studies，it has been found that the specific mechanisms of HKC in the treatment of DKD include increasing mitophagy，reducing mitochondrial damage，reducing renal fibrosis，controlling inflammatory response，and inhibiting oxidative stress，which can achieve the purpose of reducing renal damage and promoting renal function. Some clinical studies have also verified that the application of HKC alone can exert renal protective function through anti-inflammatory，anti-oxidative stress，anti-renal fibrosis effects，as well as reduction of urinary protein. Since DKD is not a single injury of renal function，it is often accompanied by problems in blood pressure，blood lipids，blood circulation，body immunity， and other aspects. Therefore，the combination of HKC with other drugs can often achieve more comprehensive results，improve the advantages of various drugs，and improve the therapeutic effect. The combination of drugs such as antihypertensive，lipid-lowering， vascular circulation improvement，immunity inhibition，and anti-oxidative stress with HKC has achieved good results. In addition，HKC is often used in combination with other Chinese patent medicines in clinics. The application of HKC in the treatment of DKD has made some progress，but there are still many places worthy of further study，and the research on the mechanism of HKC is not comprehensive enough. The research on its long-term effect and safety in clinical application is relatively lacking，and the drug variety is relatively single when combined with certain drugs. These problems deserve further attention. Finally，it is necessary to pay attention to the promotion and application of HKC in clinical practice so that HKC can be better applied in clinical practice and better solve practical problems for patients.
