Objective To investigate the toxicity of alpha terthienyl to the larvae of Aedes albopictus , its influencing factors and effect on the larva deve lopment. Methods Under experimental ultraviolet A (UVA),the number of dead,pupal or eclosive mosquito larvae was determined on the condition of different doses of alpha terthienyl and different disposal time in the dark;the number of dead larvae was also determined under sunlight on the condition of different doses of alpha terthienyl and different disposal time to water. Results The LC 50 of alpha terthienyl to Aedes albopictus larvae was 2.37 ?g/L under UVA. The best effect was shown when the larvae were incubated with alpha terthienyl 3 h in dark. Alpha terthienyl could significantly inhibit the larva deve lopment and the emergence of the pupae. Under strong sunlight, the larvae were quickly killed by high concentration alpha terthienyl. The 24 hours effect of alpha terthienyl was better when it was applied at 5 AM than that of at 10 AM and 1PM. Conclusion Alpha terthienyl is an effective, practicable larvicide which prohibits the growth and development of the larvae of Aedes albopictus .

Objective:To analyze the application value of the mechanical thrombectomy system in the treatment of acute limb ischemia.Methods:The clinical data of 50 patients with lower limb ischemia who were treated with the Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy system from Jun 2017 to Sep 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:In 4 cases of popliteal artery rupture occurred during the operation. The success rate of the operation was 92%. Catheter-directed thrombolysis was used in 7 cases, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was used in 4 cases and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty combined with stent implantation was used in 39 cases. The ankle-brachial index of these 50 patients before and after operation was 0.18±0.24 and 0.64±0.28 respectively ( t=12.87, P<0.001). Treatment was successful in 43 cases. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 24 months, 5 cases were amputated, 2 cases had no improvement of toe ulcer gangrene, 9 cases had thrombus recurrence, and no complications such as bleeding were observed. The primary patency rates at 3, 6 and 12 months were 92%, 84% and 74%, respectively. Conclusion:The mechanical thrombectomy system is safe and effective in the treatment of acute lower limb ischemia with ideal short-term patency.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between resistin and hepatic fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) subjects.Methods Serum resitin and Interleukin (IL)-18's concentrations were measured in 144 subjects (70 NAFLD pa-tients and 74 healthy controls) with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and their serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, triglyceride (TG), total-cholesterol (TC), low density lip-oprotein ( LDL) , high density lipoprotein ( HDL) , homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR) , hyaluronic acid , IVcollagen, height, body weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference were also measured .Their waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body mass indes (BMI) were calculated.Results There were higher levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP), WHR, BMI, TG, ALT, AST, HOMA-IR, hyaluronic acid, IV collagen, resistin, and IL-18 in the NAFLD patients than those of the healthy controls ( P <0.05 ) .The serum resistin level was significantly and positively correlated with WHR , BMI, ALT, HOMA-IR, TG, IV collagen , and IL-18 ( r =0.231 , 0.341 , 0.223 , 0.264 , 0.213 , 0.315 , and 0.669 , P <0.05 ) .After adjustment for body fat and IL-18 , the serum resistin level was still significantly and positively correlated with ALT and IV collagen ( r =0.222 , 0.0.326 , P <0.05 ) . Conclusions Resistin might take part in the development of NAFLD insulin resistance and its pro -inflammation.

Objective:
To study the urinary iodine level of pregnant women with thyroid disease in Shenzhen, and to provide scientific basis for rational iodine supplementation.
Methods:
A total of 170 pregnant women with thyroid diseases who visited Department of Endocrinology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from January 2017 to March 2019 were selected as the subjects, they were divided into hyperthyroidism group (84 cases) and non-hyperthyroidism group (86 cases) according to whether they had hyperthyroidism or not. Morning urine sample was collected under normal dietary conditions; urinary iodine was detected by peroxyacetic acid tetramethylbenzidine oxidation colorimetry. Urinary iodine < 150 μg/L was iodine deficiency and 150-249 μg/L was appropriate iodine.
Results:
The median of urinary iodine of pregnant women with thyroid disease in Shenzhen was 143.9 μg/L, which was slightly lower than the lowest limit of the appropriate iodine level. The median of urinary iodine in hyperthyroidism group was 116.6 μg/L, which was at the iodine deficiency level; the median of urinary iodine in non-hyperthyroidism group was 181.6 μg/L, which was at the appropriate iodine level. There was significant difference in urinary iodine levels between hyperthyroidism group and non-hyperthyroidism group (

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of 37 cases of popliteal vascular entrapment syndrome (PVES).Methods The clinical data of 37 PVESA cases (44 limbs) from July 2004 to July 2016 was retrospectively analyzed.There were 28 men and 9 women,age ranging from 7 to 74 years.They all underwent B-us,CTA,MRA or DSA examination before the operation.Surgical procedures performed on 38 limbs included musculo-tendinous division,popliteal-popliteal interposition,femoralpopliteal bypass.Result One patient died of PE one day after operation.The ankle brachial index (ABI)increased from 0.54 ±0.31 to 0.87 ±0.23 after operation (P <0.01).30 cases were followed-up with a mean followup time of 43.8 months and intermittent claudication were relieved in all cases.Conclusions PVES is an extremely important cause of non-arteriosclerotic lower extremity arterial chronic ischemia which need early,active and appropriate surgical intervention.
