Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness for the construction of "mosquito-free village" in Xuejia Village, Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the guidance for the construction of "mosquito-free village" in other rural areas.
Methods:
Density of adult mosquitoes in Xuejia Village was investigated using light trap method and density of larval mosquitoes was investigated using larval straw method from April to November each year. Totally 30 households of villagers were randomly selected, and their awareness rates of mosquito control knowledge, mosquito control behavior forming rates and satisfaction rates were surveyed through questionnaires. Investment during construction (from August 2016 to December 2018) and maintenance period (from 2019 to 2023) of "mosquito-free village" were investigated through data review and interviews. Long-term effects of "mosquito-free village" construction in Xuejia Village were evaluated in terms of mosquito density from 2016 to 2023, effectiveness of health education for villagers, satisfaction and investment.
Results:
Compared with the year 2016, the densities of adult and larval mosquitoes in Xuejia Village were significantly decreased from 2017 to 2023. The average monthly density of adult mosquitoes in 2023 decreased by 98.34%, and the average monthly 100 household index of larval mosquitoes decreased by 98.45% compared to 2016. The average monthly density of adult mosquitoes from 2019 to 2023 was less than or equal to one mosquito per light trap in a night, and the average monthly 100 household index of larval mosquitoes was less than or equal to five places per 100 households. The awareness rate of mosquito control knowledge was 93.33%, the behavior forming rate was 86.67%, and the satisfaction rate was 90.00%. By December 2023, the total investment during construction and maintenance period was 450 thousand Yuan, with an average annual investment of 60.7 thousand Yuan and average annual investment of 206.61 Yuan per household. The average annual investment during maintenance period was 36.2 thousand Yuan, and the average annual investment per household was 109.70 Yuan.
Conclusion
The mosquito density, effectiveness of health education for villagers and satisfaction of "mosquito-free village" in Xuejia Village all meet the evaluation criteria of "mosquito-free village", and the investment is reasonable, making it suitable for promotion to other rural areas.

Uniaxial stretch strain and compressive pressure of 2 atm were applied to rat's osteoblasts, and then immunohistochemistrical staining was used to detect the expression of osteoblasts' c-fos gene. The experiment result indicated the osteoblasts' FOS proteins increased prominently, and the FOS proteins concentrated in nucleolus after having endured two different kinds of loadings. It is very important to prompt stress and strain in promoting osteoblast proliferation.

Mosquito control and "mosquito-free village" construction in rural areas played positive roles in preventing mosquito-borne diseases and improving rural living environments. However,there was a lack of the target and specific evaluation system for mosquito control and prevention in rural areas. Based on the main contents of mosquito control works in rural areas,the national standards for mosquito control and practical experiences for“mosquito-free village”construction in Zhejiang Province,we built a evaluation system suitable for mosquito control in rural areas,in order to provide reference for the evaluation standard and the sustainable development of mosquito control in rural areas. This evaluation system included four indices named mosquito density control,village administration,health education and the villagers' attitude;each index had three levels named A,B and C from high to low. When all the four indices were evaluated as C,the village was regarded as basically meeting the requirements of mosquito control;when all the four indices were evaluated as A,the village was regarded as a "mosquito-free village".

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and evolution of mild motor symptoms (MMS) in patients with prodromal Parkinson′s disease (pPD).Methods:Based on the pPD cohort screened by Parkinson′s Disease Prodromal Clinical Assessment Scale in Nanjing community from July 2018 to December 2020, the clinical data of 30 patients with pPD who completed the baseline assessment and were followed up for at least 1 year were analyzed. According to the Unified Parkinson Diease Rating Scale Ⅲ (UPDRS-Ⅲ) score, the patients were divided into MMS group (UPDRS-Ⅲ score>3) and non-MMS group (NMMS group, UPDRS-Ⅲ score≤3). The differences and evolution characteristics of clinical characteristics between the 2 groups were compared. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the risk factors of motor symptom progression in pPD patients.Results:Among the 30 patients with pPD, 7 of 23 patients in the MMS group were converted to PD at the end of follow-up, 1 of 7 patients in the NMMS group were converted to PD at the end of follow-up. The UPDRS-Ⅲ score [10.00 (7.00, 17.00)], Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) score [25.50 (24.75, 28.00)] and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score [9.00 (5.00, 13.00)] at the end of follow-up of pPD patients were significantly higher than those at baseline [7.00 (4.00, 12.00), 24.00 (22.75, 25.25) and 8.00 (2.00, 11.00)], and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-3.505, P<0.001; Z=-2.956, P=0.003; Z=-2.427, P=0.015).Subgroup analysis showed that UPDRS-Ⅲ score [11.00 (7.00, 18.00)], MoCA score [25.00 (24.00, 27.00)] and HAMA score [ 9.00 (6.00, 15.00)] at the end of follow-up in the MMS group were higher than those at baseline [8.00 (6.00, 12.00), 24.00 (22.00, 25.00) and 9.00 (3.00, 11.00)], and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.768, P=0.006; Z=-2.457, P=0.014; Z=-2.250, P=0.024). The Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire score at the end of follow-up in the MMS group (8.96±5.20) was significantly lower than that in the baseline (11.04±4.41), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.441, P=0.023).There was no significant difference in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Rapid Eyes Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Questionnaire-Hong Kong (RBDQ-HK) and Sniffin′ sticks olfactory test score at the end of follow-up in the MMS group. Only UPDRS-Ⅲ score in the NMMS group was increased at the end of follow-up [7.00 (5.00, 8.00)] compared with the baseline [4.00 (1.00, 4.00)], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.375, P=0.018). There was no significant difference in MoCA, MMSE, HAMA, HAMD, RBDQ-HK, and Sniffin′ sticks olfactory test score between the NMMS group and the baseline at the end of follow-up. Conclusion:The clinical conversion rate of pPD patients with MMS is high,and screening of this population should be paid attention.

Objective:To investigate the epidemic characteristics and current situation of animal plague in Zhejiang Province, in order to provide data support for prevention and control of the plague in the whole province.Methods:A retrospective study was carried out to collect surveillance data of animal plague in Zhejiang Province from 2006 to 2020 from the "Pubonic Plague Control Management Information System". Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the density of domestic and wild rodents, the distribution of rodent species and flea species, and the serological and pathogenic test results of host animals.Results:From 2006 to 2020, the annual average density of domestic rodent in Zhejiang Province was 3.99%, which was lower than that in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2019 and 2020. The annual average density of wild rodents was 4.52%, which was lower than that in 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. From 2006 to 2020, a total of 173 432 rodents were captured, belonging to 3 orders, 5 families, 12 genera and 17 species; in the composition of rodent species, Rattus norvegicus was the most, accounting for 32.15% (55 765/173 432). A total of 107 736 rodents were examined, the number of flea-infected rodent was 3 885, and the flea-infested rate was 3.61%; the total number of flea collected was 9 039 and the total flea index was 0.083 9. A total of 172 235 serological samples were tested at various monitoring sites in Zhejiang Province, and 10 positive samples were detected, there were 7 copies of Apodemus agrarianus, 2 copies of Smelly Shrew and 1 copy of Rattus norvegicus, with titers ranging from 1 ∶ 40 - 1 ∶ 320; a total of 163 618 copies of rodent liver and spleen organs were cultured, and no Yersinia pestis was isolated. Conclusions:Positive host animals have been detected in Zhejiang Province for many years. It is necessary to further standardize plague surveillance and make emergency preparations to prevent relapse and import of the epidemics.
