Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Objective:To investigate the association of serum levels of myoglobin(Myo)and reticulocyte(Ret)with cardiac function class in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:A total of 106 CHF patients treated in First Rongjun Special Care Hospital of Hebei Province between February 2020 and February 2024 were retrospec-tively selected as the observation group.According to New York Heart Association(NYHA)cardiac function class,patients were divided into class Ⅱ group(n=61)and class Ⅲ～Ⅳ group(n=45),and 107 healthy people with nor-mal physical examination results were selected from our hospital simultaneously as control group.The Myo and Ret levels were compared between control group and observation group,class Ⅱ group and class Ⅲ～Ⅳ group.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the association of Myo and Ret levels with NYHA class in CHF patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of Myo,Ret and their combined detection for NYHA class Ⅲ～Ⅳ in CHF patients.Results:Compared to participants in the control group,those in the observation group had significant higher Myo level[(50.42±9.98)μg/ml vs.(35.22±5.36)μg/ml]and significant lower Ret level[(2.24±0.68)％vs.(2.91±0.61)％](P＜0.001 all).Compared to those in class Ⅱ group,those in class Ⅲ～Ⅳ group had significant higher Myo level[(60.77±5.94)μg/ml vs.(42.79±2.97)μg/ml]and significant lower Ret level[(1.73±0.31)％vs.(2.62±0.62)％](P＜0.001 all).Spearman correlation analysis showed that Myo(r=0.654)was positively correlated with NYHA cardiac function class in CHF patients,while Ret(r=-0.589)was inversely correlated with it(P＜0.001 all).ROC analysis showed that a combination of Myo and Ret had significant higher predictive efficacy(AUC=0.926,95％CI 0.858～0.968)for NYH A class Ⅲ～Ⅳ in CHF patients than Myo(AUC=0.804,95％CI 0.716～0.875)and Ret(AUC=0.701,95％CI 0.604～0.786)alone(Z=2.745,4.183,P＜0.01 both).Conclusion:Our study showed that Myo and Ret levels were significantly correlated with NYHA class in CHF patients.Moreover,a combination of Myo and Ret levels showed better diagnostic value for NYHA class Ⅲ～Ⅳ in this population.

Aim To investigate the mechanism by which sufentanil(Suf)improved hypoxia-reoxygen-ation(H/R)-induced myocardial cell injury by regula-ting hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and KC-NQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1(Kcnq1ot1).Methods Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to predict the interaction between HIF-1αand Kcnq1ot1.Subsequently,H9c2 cells were divided into multiple treatment groups:Ctrl group,H/R group,and Suf group.Further grouping was based on different transfection conditions,including oe-HIF-1α group,oe-HIF-1α+Suf group,sh-HIF-1α group,and sh-HIF-1α+Kcnq1ot1 group.Cell viability was detected u-sing the MTT assay,cell apoptosis was detected using the TUNEL assay,and the concentrations of CK-MB and HBDH in cell supernatants were measured using ELISA.HIF-1α protein expression in cellswas deter-mined by Western blot,and the mRNA expression level of Kcnq1ot1 was measured by reverse transcription quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Additionally,a rat model of myocardial is chemia reperfusion was con-structed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Suf for myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in vivo.Results The results of bioinformatics analysis showed a direct interaction between HIF-1α and Kcnq1ot1.Compared with the Ctrl group,the H/R group showed significantly reduced H9c2 cell viability,increased cell apoptosis,and significantly upregulated concentrations of CK-MB and HBDH,along with significantly enhanced expres-sion of HIF-1α and Kcnq1ot1(all P＜0.05).When H9c2 cells were transfected with oe-HIF-1 α,cell via-bility further decreased,apoptosis was worsened,and CK-MB and HBDH concentrations further increased(all P＜0.05);however,these adverse effects were significantly inhibited when combined with Suf inter-vention(all P＜0.05).Additionally,compared with the H/R group,the sh-HIF-1α group showed signifi-cantly improved cell viability,reduced apoptosis and decreased CK-MB and HBDH concentrations(all P＜0.05);however,these improvements were partially re-versed upon transfection with Kcnq1ot1(all P＜0.05).Animal experiments confirmed that Suf could improve myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in myo-cardial ischemia-reperfusion injury rats.Conclusions Suf improves myocardial H/R injury by inhibiting the HIF-1α-Kcnq1ot1.

Aim To investigate the effect of oroxylin A(OA)on apoptosis in Ishikawa cell line of endometrial cancer and the underlying mechanism through the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT)signaling pathway.Methods Ishikawa cells were treated with different concentrations of OA(0,4,8,10,12,and 20 μmol·L-1)for 24 h-72 h,the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and the protein ex-pression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),PI3K/AKT,recombinant cytochrome P450 1B1(CYP1B1),and catechol-O-methyltransferase(COMT)were detected by Western blot technique.Results OA inhibited the prolifera-tion of Ishikawa cells in a concentration-and time-de-pendent manner.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Bax protein increased signifi-cantly,while the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased significantly with the increase of OA concentration.The expression of COMT protein increased significant-ly,while the expression of CYP1B1 protein decreased significantly.PI3K/AKT:IGF-1(PI3 K agonist)sup-plementation reversed the effect,the expression of COMT protein significantly decreased,and the expres-sion of CYP1B1 protein significantly increased.Con-clusions OA exerts anti-tumor effects in Ishikawa cells of endometrial cancer,which may be related to cell apoptosis mediated by the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Blood from a case of group B epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis identified in February 2024 in Ganzhou City,Jiangxi Province,and throat swabs from close contacts were collected for isolation and culture.The isolates were subjected to serogrouping,drug sensitivity testing,and whole genome sequencing and analysis,to provide a basis for epidemiological inves-tigation and clinical drug use.One strain of Neisseria meningitidis was isolated from the blood of the case and denoted group B.The MLST type was ST-7962,with no clonal group attribution.The phylogenetic tree showed that it was genetically close to the 1977 Shanghai carrier isolate(id-52231).Drug sensitivity results indicated that the strain was sensitive to 8 drugs:azithro-mycin,cefotaxime,minocycline,ceftriaxone,chloramphenicol,meropenem,rifampicin,and benzylpenicillin;resistant to cot-rimoxazole,levofloxacin,and ciprofloxacin;and showed an intermediate response to penicillin.This report describes the first case of ST-7962 group B meningoencephalitis found in Jiangxi Province.Monitoring of Neisseria meningitidis carriage,drug re-sistance,and molecular characteristics of strains in the healthy population in this region should be strengthened,to provide la-boratory support for the clinical use of medications,traceability,and control of the pathogen underlying meningoencephalitis infection.
