BACKGROUND:Anterior cruciate ligament injury can trigger knee instability, knee osteoarthritis which decreases human beings’ life quality. Exploration on non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanism can prevent the occurrence of anterior cruciate ligament injury.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism of fatigue effect on non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury and to introduce the progression of fatigue effect on non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury in jump-landing activities.
METHODS:The author retrieved the PubMed database from 1988 to 2013 by computer. The key words were set as:ACL, landing, and fatigue. A total of 42 articles were included which related to biomechanics research on anterior cruciate ligament injury, fatigue landing and low-limb injury.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In jump-landing activities, knee valgus, moment, knee joint rotation and smal er knee flexion are main biomechanics underlying non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. In addition, fatigue effect is another critical factor for non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. However, the cause-effect between fatigue effect and anterior cruciate ligament injury is not clearly investigated and summarized, especial y on fatigue level, fatigue induction and movement control. Introduction of fatigue induction is crucial for better understanding how fatigue effect results in anterior cruciate ligament injury. Thus, the quantification of fatigue level, fatigue models and landing ways wil provide new ideas for exploring biomechanical mechanism underlying anterior cruciate ligament injury in fatigue state, as wel as provide more information on intervention design and injury rehabilitation.

China Tropical Medicine 2024;24(5):519-
Abstract: Objective To explore the tolerance of Aedes albopictus to typical insecticides and mutations in its knockdown resistance (kdr) and acetylcholinesterase number one (ace-1) genes in Hainan Province. Methods Ae. albopictus larvae were collected from Danzhou, Sanya, Qiongzhong, Qionghai, Changjiang, and Wanning in Hainan Province in 2020 and 2021 to assess their resistance to 10 insecticides. Surviving samples from the resistance tests were examined for mutations in genes encoding acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) using DNA Sanger sequencing. Results The 24-hour corrected mortality rates of adult Ae. albopictus in different areas of Hainan to deltamethrin (0.03%), permethrin (0.40%), Beta-cypermethrin (0.40%), Beta-cypermethrin (0.08%), and lambda-cyhalothrin (0.07%) ranged from 5.56% to 83.33%, 29.89% to 92.22%, 26.67% to 97.78%, 11.11% to 88.89%, and 40.00% to 83.33%, respectively. The mortality rates after 24-hour exposure to propoxur (0.05%), bendiocarb (0.20%), malathion (0.50%), fenitrothion (0.20%), and chlorpyrifos (2.00%) ranged from 94.89% to 100.00%, among which the Ae.albopictus population from Changjiang showed a mortality rate of 97.78% to propoxur, and populations from Sanya, Wanning, and Qionghai showed mortality rates of 94.89%, 96.67%, and 96.67% to malathion respectively. The mortality rate of Ae.albopictus populations in Sanya and Qionghai to fenitrothion was 97.78%, while in other populations, it was 100.00%. Sequencing results showed that the kdr gene exhibited a mutation solely at locus 1534, featuring four alleles: wild-type TTC/F and the mutant types TGT(TGC)/C, TCC/S, and TTG/L with the mutation frequencies of 40.47%, 22.25%, 36.44%, and 0.85%, respectively. There are seven types of these mutations: wild-type homozygotes F/F, wild-type/mutant heterozygotes F/C, F/S, and F/L, mutant heterozygotes S/C, and wild-type homozygotes C/C and S/S, with mutation frequencies of 19.92%, 6.78%, 32.63%, 1.69%, 11.44%, 13.14%, and 14.41%, respectively. Notably, No related amino acid mutations were detected at position 119 of the ace-1 gene. Conclusions The Ae.albopictus populations in various areas of Hainan Province have developed a high resistance to pyrethroid insecticides such as deltamethrin, permethrin, beta-cypermethrin, and beta-cyfluthrin, but are sensitive or possibly resistant to carbamates and organophosphates insecticides. The resistance gene mutations mainly occur at position 1 534 of the kdr gene, suggesting that its mutation frequency could be a significant factor contributing to resistance in Ae. albopictus in Hainan.

China Tropical Medicine 2024;24(7):814-
Abstract: Objective To understand the level of Aedes aegypti resistance in Hainan and to provide a reference for developing local preventive and control measures against the dengue vector Ae. aegypti. Methods In 2020, Aedes aegypti larvae and pupae were collected from Danzhou and Changjiang in Hainan Province and reared to the first filial generation (F1). The adult mosquito contact tube method was used to determine the resistance of Aedes aegypti to commonly used insecticides. The allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) was used to detect the mutations in V1016G and F1534C knockdown resistance (kdr) gene in Aedes aegypti. Results There was no significant difference in the knockdown rate of Ae. aegypti from Changjiang and Danzhou after 1 hour of exposure to four pyrethroids insecticides, namely deltamethrin (0.03%), permethrin (0.40%), beta-cypermethrin (0.04%) and lambda-cyhalothrin (0.02%). However, the 24-hour mortality rates of Ae. aegypti from Changjiang and Danzhou city were 95.56%, 85.56%, 81.11%, 48.89% and 94.44%, 68.60%, 61.11%, 30.00%, respectively. Except for deltamethrin (0.03%), the other differences were statistically significant. Aedes aegypti in Changjiang showed 100.00% mortality to propoxur (0.03%) and bendiocarb (0.20%), while in Danzhou, these rates were 100.00% and 98.89%, respectively. Ae. aegypti both from Changjiang and Danzhou showed 100.00% mortality to malathion (1.50%) and chlorpyrifos (0.80%), and mortality rates to 0.25% fenthion were 100.00% and 98.89%, respectively. V1016G and F1534C mutations were found in Ae. aegypti from Danzhou and Changjiang with mutation frequencies of 12.50% (20/160) and 97.50% (156/160), showing significant differences (χ2=233.54, P<0.001). In Changjiang, Aedes aegypti exhibited both V1016G and F1534C mutations with frequencies of 20.00% and 100.00%, respectively, whereas in Danzhou, only F1534C mutations occurred with a frequency of 98.75%. Conclusions Ae. aegypti in Hainan Province exhibited varying levels of resistance to four insecticides: deltamethrin, permethrin, beta-cypermethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin, but showed sensitivity to propoxur, bendiocarb, malathion, and chlorpyrifos. The primary knockdown resistance gene mutation was F1534C.

Chinese Journal of Radiology 2009;43(4):351-355
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of computer-aided diagnosis with three-dimensional volumetric measurement in solid pulmonary nodules on follow-up CT. Methods Forty-six patients with 58 solid nodules were evaluated.Each patient underwent chest CT at least twice.The volume, doubling times(DTs) and volumetric growth rates(VGRs) of nodules were calculated with three-dimensional volumetric measurement software. If there were significant statistical differences in DTs between malignant and benign nodules, Nonparametric test was used to make the analysis.If there were significant statistical differences in upper DTs'values between malignant and benign nodules, X2 test was used to make the analysis.Final diagnosis of all nodule were confirmed by pathology or by response to diagnostic therapy or by clinical follow-up.Results The DTs of 13 malignant nodules were <400 days in 12 nodules, with a range from 45 to 465 days (median, 159 days) ; the VGRs ranged from 8% to 329% (median, 30.0%).The VGRs of 45 benign nodules ranged from -38% to 24% (median, 0%).The DTs of 24 benign nodules that increased or not changed in size were >400 days in 22 nodules, with a range from 302 days to 55 158 days (median, 2 704 days); the VGRs ranged from 0 to 24% (median, 6.5%. Twenty-one nodules that decreased in size had the VGRs ranging from -38% to -4% (median, - 16.0%), and the DTs of these nodules could not be calculated by software.There were significant statistical differences in DTs between malignant and benign nodules(P <0.05).Taking 500 days, 400 days and 300 days as the upper value for malignancies there were statistically significant differences in these values between malignant and benign nodules(P < 0.01).Their sensitivities were 100.0%, 92.3%, 76.9% respectively and specificities were 87.5%, 91.7%, 100.0% respectively.Accuracies were 91.9%, 94.6% ,91.9% respectively and positive predictive values were 8,11,0.Conclusions Taking 400 days as the upper DTs'value for malignancies has important diagnostic value. Computer-aided diagnosis with three-dimensional volumetric measurement is sensitive to the volume changes of solid pulmonary nodules on follow-up CT, and is useful in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules.
