Objective To provide a scientific basis for vector prevention and control in port areas, vector monitoring has been conducted continuously to characterize the composition, density, and seasonal fluctuations of vectors across 21 port-areas of Shandong province from 2017 to 2023. Methods In accordance with the Regional Vector Monitoring Plan for Frontier Ports, vector surveillance of mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, rodents, and other disease vectors was performed. Data were analyzed to describe vector community composition and identify seasonal fluctuations. Results A total of 601 rodents belonging to 1 family, 4 genera, and 4 species were captured. Three dominant rodent species inhabit port areas. In addition, 88 104 mosquitoes were captured and classified into 3 subfamilies, 4 genera, and 12 species; 38 959 flies were trapped and classified into 8 families,31 genera, and 51 species, including 9 dominant fly species in port-areas; and 54 672 captured cockroaches were classified into 2 families,4 genera, and 4 species, with Blattella germanica as the dominant species. Conclusions Significant vector community changes(P＜0.005)have been identified after the epidemic. To improve the pertinence and efficacy of port health quarantine work, continuous and strong attention should be paid to vector compositions and population densities at Shandong ports.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity, differentiation, and population structure of Aedes albopictus across different geographical regions in Shandong Province, and to explore the relationship between genetic diversity and geographical distribution. Methods Between July and August 2024, ten Ae. albopictus populations were sampled from seven cities in Shandong Province. Genomic DNA was extracted from individual mosquitoes, and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COⅠ)gene was amplified using PCR and sequenced. The obtained sequences were verified using BLAST and analyzed with MAFFT, MEGA 11, DnaSP v6.12, Arlequin 3.5, PopART 1.7, STRUCTURE 2.3.4 and the R packages adegenet and vegan to assess genetic diversity and population structure. Results A total of 229 COⅠ sequences(662 bp) was obtained, revealing ten variable sites with no insertions or deletions. The overall base composition showed an AT bias of 67.7%. Haplotype analysis identified 11 haplotypes, with Hap2 being the dominant and most widely distributed haplotype across all populations. Neutrality tests showed significant population expansion only in the Rizhao population. Mantel testing result revealed that geographical distance does not significantly impede gene flow. Overall, genetic differentiation among populations was low, indicating frequent gene flow. When combined with additional samples from Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Hainan and Guangxi, STRUCTURE, UPGMA and DAPC analyses revealed two primary genetic clusters of Ae. albopictus. Conclusions Ae. albopictus populations in Shandong Province exhibit frequent gene flow, low genetic differentiation, and relatively low overall genetic diversity. However, the Rizhao population showed signs of recent expansion, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance and targeted control measures in this area.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQD) on myocardial injury induced by high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin in type 2 diabetic mice through network pharmacology and animal experiments. MethodsNetwork pharmacology was applied to screen the potential signaling pathways of GQD in the intervention of diabetic heart disease (DHD). A total of 36 specific pathogen-free (SPF) male C57BL/6J mice aged 8 weeks were acclimatized for 1 week and randomly divided into a normal control group (n=6) and a model group (n=30). Mice in the model group were fed a 60% high-fat diet and 5% glucose water for 4 weeks, and were intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/kg streptozotocin after 12 h of fasting to establish the type 2 diabetes model. Mice in the normal control group were given a conventional diet and drinking water, and were intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of citrate buffer after 12 h of fasting at the same time point. After successful establishment of the diabetic mouse model, the model mice were randomly divided into five groups according to body weight: model control group, GQD low-dose group, GQD medium-dose group, GQD high-dose group, and metformin positive control group, with 6 mice in each group. After 6 weeks of intragastric administration of corresponding doses of GQD, metformin, and ddH₂O respectively, all mice in the six groups (one normal control group and five model groups) were anesthetized with inhaled 2% isoflurane, blood samples were collected via eyeball enucleation, and heart tissues were harvested after euthanasia by cardiac exsanguination. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining were performed to observe the pathological damage of myocardial tissues and measure the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum. Immunohistochemical staining was adopted to determine the protein expression levels of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor 3 (NLRP3), and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65 (p-p65) in myocardial tissues. ResultsNetwork pharmacology analysis revealed that the targets of GQD against DHD were significantly enriched in inflammatory pathways, including the advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-RAGE axis, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathways. HE and WGA staining results showed that, compared with the normal control group, the model control group exhibited myocardial fiber rupture, cardiomyocyte swelling, and significantly increased cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area (P<0.05). Compared with the model control group, GQD intervention significantly ameliorated the pathological changes, including myocardial fiber rupture, cell swelling, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The results of immunohistochemical staining and ELISA indicated that compared with the model control group, GQD intervention markedly downregulated the protein expression of RAGE, NLRP3, and p-p65 in myocardial tissues, as well as the levels of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines (P<0.05). ConclusionGQD can effectively alleviate myocardial pathological injury in diet-induced type 2 diabetic mice, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of the RAGE/p-p65/NLRP3 signaling pathway and reducing myocardial inflammatory response.

Objective:To analyze the current status of clinical trials of Chinese materia medica for the purpose of registration in China; To provide reference for the research and development of new TCM drugs.Methods:Clinical trials of Chinese materia medica/natural medicine registered in Drug Clinical Trial Registration and Information Disclosure Platform were retrieved from inception to December 31, 2024. Excel 2019 software was used to input and analyze the data such as the number of registered clinical trials, date of first publication, study status, field of indication, trial phases, sponsors, group leader, and design types.Results:A total of 1 137 Chinese materia medica clinical trials had been registered, accounting for 4.12% of the total number registered on the platform. Phase Ⅱ clinical trials accounted for the highest proportion (58.8%), and 99.7% of clinical trials conducted domestically. The sponsors were predominantly domestically pharmaceutical enterprises. These 1 137 clinical trials of Chinese materia medica clinical trials involved 752 drug categories, 28 dosage forms, and 796 varieties (the same class of drugs had different drug dosage forms), with capsules being the most common. The indications primarily focused on respiratory, digestive, cardio-cerebrovascular, neuropsychiatric, gynecological diseases. The group leader of clinical trials was distributed in 28 provinces, among which the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the group leader, undertook the most clinical trials of TCM. 89.9% of the clinical trials adopted the randomized controlled trial design, and only 31.9% of the clinical trials purchased insurance for the subjects.Conclusion:The research and development of new TCM drugs has entered a phase of vigorous development. Further efforts are still needed in establishing systematic guidelines for Chinese materia medica clinical trials, accelerating the internationalization of TCM, exploring innovative dosage forms and indications, and strengthening the protection of participants' rights.

Objective:To systematically analyze the registration status of clinical trials related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in China Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR); To focus on the characteristics and shortcomings of TCM research; To provide data support and theoretical basis for optimizing clinical trial design and improving the quality of TCM research.Methods:The IBD-related clinical trials registered by ChiCTR from the establishment of the database to September 18, 2024 were retrieved. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the frequency of research objects, registration time, registration area and institution, source of funds, research type and design scheme, random method and blind method, trial staging and research center, sample size, intervention measures and outcome indicators.Results:There were 317 clinical trials of IBD. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Beijing, Guangdong and Zhejiang accounted for 72.87% of the total number of registrations. Most of the registered projects were intervention studies (51.42%), 48 studies used blind method, and randomized controlled study was the main research design type. In the 68 clinical trials related to TCM, the intervention measures were divided into 4 categories, of which Chinese materia medica was the most (42 items); the sample size was the most in the intervention study, with a total of 6 787 cases; the total frequency of outcome indicators was 1 866 times, and the quality of life and mental health were the most (147 items).Conclusions:The number of registered IBD clinical trials is generally increasing, but there may be problems such as uneven distribution of regions and institutions, poor design of sample size, blind method and other research, and non-standard filling of registration information. In the research of TCM treatment of IBD, it is suggested to further strengthen the depth and breadth, especially the characteristic therapy of TCM.

Objective To explore the effect of Osthole on neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease(AD)by regulating the lactylation of pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2).Methods(1)Animal experiments:18 mice were divided into three groups,namely wild-type(WT)group,APP/PS1 group and APP/PS1+Osthole group.Learning-and memory-related biobehavioral indicators were compared among the three groups.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression of Iba1 in brain tissue,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed to detect the levels of interleukin(IL)-6,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,and IL-1β in brain tissue,and Western Blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of Pan lactylation(Pan-kla)and PKM2 lactylation(PKM2-kla)in brain tissue.(2)Cell experiments:an in vitro AD model was constructed by treated in mouse microglia(BV2 cells)with LPS/Aβ1-42,and followed by treatment with Osthole.Cell viability was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT),expression of Iba1(a marker of microglial activation)was detected by Western Blot,nitric oxide(NO)production was assessed by Griess reagent,and levels of IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β were detected by ELISA.BV2 cell-conditioned medium(CM)was co-cultured with neuroblastoma cells(Na2 cells)to assess the protective effect of Osthole on Na2 cells.(3)Molecular docking was performed between Osthole and PKM2,and experimental verification was conducted.Results In animal experiments,deficits of learning and memory in mice were aggravated in APP/PS1 group compared with that in WT group,which were improved upon treatment with Osthole.Furthermore,the APP/PS1 group mice showed an increase in Iba1 positive cells in brain tissue,an increase in the levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β,as well as an increase in the levels of Pan-kla and PKM2-kla compared with the WT group,while the above indexes were inhibited by the Osthole treatment.In cell experiments,Osthole had no significant effect on BV2 cell viability at concentrations up to 100 μmol/L.Treatment with LPS/Aβ1-42 upregulated the expression of Iba1,NO production,and levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in BV2 cells,while Osthole significantly inhibited the expression of these LPS/Aβ1-42-induced indicators.Meanwhile,Osthole attenuated the damage of BV2-CM on Na2 cells.The molecular docking results indicated a good binding affinity between Osthole and PKM2.Treatment with Osthole can down-regulated the levels of lactate,Pan-kla and PKM2-kla in the AD cell model.Conclusion Osthole can improve the condition of AD and reduce neuroinflammation by inhibiting the lactylation of PKM2.
