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.

Aim To evaluate the bioequivalence of two oral preparations of rivaroxaban tablets(test preparation T and refe-rence preparation R)in fasting/postprandibular state in healthy Chinese subjects.Methods A randomized,open,single-dose,four-cycle,completely repeated crossover experiment was used in this study.A total of 70 healthy male and female subjects were enrolled,including 38 subjects in the fasting group and 32 sub-jects in the postprandial group.Rivaroxaban tablets(2.5 mg/tablet)were taken orally once per cycle and their reference preparations were tested.The plasma rivaroxaban concentration was determined by LC-MS/MS method.The pharmacokinetic parameters of rivaroxaban tablets were calculated by WinNonlin software,and the parameters were analyzed and processed.Re-sults The PK parameters of rivaroxaban tablets and reference preparations in fasting group were as follows:Cmax was(72.48±17.08)and(66.36±15.64)μg·L-1,respectively.AUC0-t were(383.49±101.06)and(370.43±102.16)h·ng·mL-1,and AUC0-inr were(389.58±102.28)and(375.84±103.01)h·μg·L-,respectively.Main PK parameters of subjects taking rivaroxaban tablets orally after meals:Cmax were(66.48±15.64 and 60.87±13.44)μg·L-1,AUC0-t were(404.44±72.58)and(381.80±79.93)h·μg·L-1,re-spectively.AUC0_inf was(410.88±73.55)and(393.64±69.71)h·μg·L-1,respectively.Under fasting and postmeal conditions,subjects took rivaroxaban test and reference prepara-tion orally,one tablet(2.5 mg/tablet)each time.The geometric mean of the main pharmacokinetic parameters of rivaroxaban in plasma(Cmax,AUC0-t,AUC0-inf)and their corresponding values had a 90％confidence interval ranging from 80.00％to 125.00％.No serious adverse events or unexpected adverse e-vents occurred in both groups.Conclusion Rivaroxaban tablets are bioequivalent and safe in vivo under fasting and postprandial conditions.

OBJECTIVE: Although dietary preferences influence chronic diseases, few studies have linked dietary preferences to mortality risk, particularly in large cohorts. To investigate the relationship between dietary preferences and mortality risk (all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular disease [CVD]) in a large adult cohort. METHODS: A cohort of 1,160,312 adults (mean age 62.48 ± 9.55) from the Shenzhen Healthcare Big Data Cohort (SHBDC) was analyzed. Hazard ratios ( HRs) for mortality were estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: The study identified 12,308 all-cause deaths, of which 3,865 (31.4%) were cancer-related and 3,576 (29.1%) were attributed to CVD. Compared with a mixed diet of meat and vegetables, a mainly meat-based diet (hazard ratio [ HR] = 1.13; 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.02, 1.27) associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, while mainly vegetarian ( HR = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.78, 0.97) was linked to a reduced risk. Furthermore, there was a stronger correlation between mortality risk and dietary preference in the > 65 age range. CONCLUSION A meat-based diet was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, whereas a mainly vegetarian diet was linked to a reduced risk.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between physical activity and genetic risk and their combined effects on the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 318,085 biobank participants from the UK. Physical activity was assessed using the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The participants were stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-genetic-risk groups based on their polygenic risk scores. Multivariate Cox regression models and multiplicative interaction analyses were used. RESULTS: During a median follow-up period of 13 years, 9,209 participants were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. For low genetic risk, compared to low physical activity, the hazard ratios ( HRs) for moderate and high physical activity were 0.853 (95% confidence interval [ CI]: 0.748-0.972) and 0.831 (95% CI: 0.727-0.950), respectively. For intermediate genetic risk, the HRs were 0.829 (95% CI: 0.758-0.905) and 0.835 (95% CI: 0.764-0.914), respectively. For participants with high genetic risk, the HRs were 0.809 (95% CI: 0.746-0.877) and 0.818 (95% CI: 0.754-0.888), respectively. A significant interaction was observed between genetic risk and physical activity. CONCLUSION Moderate or high levels of physical activity were associated with a lower risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across all genetic risk groups, highlighting the need to tailor activity interventions for genetically susceptible individuals.

Objective:To identify the CDYL-interacting proteins in murine testis and investigate the mechanism of CDYL in-volved in spermatogenesis.Methods:CDYL-interacting partners in testis were identified using co-immunoprecipitation coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).Expression pattern of CDYL-interacting protein MYH9 was analyzed through immunohistochemistry(IHC),confocal immunofluorescence(IF)and Western blot(WB)in mouse testicular cells.The effect of the Cdyl conditional knockout(CdylcKO)in spermatogenic cell on Myh9 expression was quantified via RT-qPCR,WB and IF imaging in both spermatids and spermatozoa from cauda epididymides.Results:Direct interaction between MYH9 and CDYL was confirmed in murine testis.During spermiogenesis,MYH9 exhibited co-localization with CDYL at the manchette structure,and binding to F-ACTIN,the component of manchette.In cauda epididymal spermatozoa,MYH9 signal concentrated on acrosomal region and con-tinuously distributed along the tail length.Conditional deletion of Cdyl in spermatogenic cell resulted in the transcriptional downregula-tion of Myh9.In spermatids,CdylcKO led to reduced but retained MYH9 localization to the disorganized manchette structure.In sperma-tozoa from CdylcKO mice,abnormalities of MYH9 localization were observed,including attenuation of acrosomal signal and/or partial vanishment/enhancement of tail signal.Conclusion:In murine spermatids,MYH9 protein is localized to the manchette structure,with its expression and subcellular distribution is affected by CDYL protein.CDYL-MYH9 interaction is essential for the spermiogenesis.

Objective:To explore the incidence characteristics and correlation analysis of Western dryness syndrome in pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Moyu County,Hetian Prefecture,Xinjiang,and to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment strategies and effectiveness evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xinjiang.Methods:89 confirmed cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in Moyu County,Hotian Prefecture,Xinjiang from October 2023 to October 2024 were selected as the case group,and 117 healthy individuals matched with the case group in terms of gender,age,and education level in Moyu County,Hotian Prefecture,Xinjiang during the same period were selected as the control group.The general information and incidence of Northwest dryness syndrome between two groups were compared.The incidence and severity of Northwest dryness syndrome in tuberculosis patients,as well as the main and secondary syndrome scores of Northwest dryness syndrome were analyzed.The influencing factors of pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed.The scores of the main syndrome of Northwest dryness syndrome(lung wei kong pi dryness syndrome)and the concurrent syndrome of Northwest dryness syndrome(heart kidney yin deficiency syndrome,lung heart spleen wind fire dryness syndrome,liver kidney essence blood deficiency syndrome,spleen stomach dampness syndrome,spleen stomach yin deficiency syndrome)between the control group and the case group were compared.The correlation between pulmonary tuberculosis and the on set of Northwest dryness syndrome were analyzed by Spearman rank sum test.Results:There was no significant difference between the control group and the case group in terms of body mass index(BMI),age,education level,gender,etc.(P＞0.05).The incidence of Northwest dryness syndrome in the case group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The Northwest Dry Syndrome Scale score in the severe group was higher than that in the mild and moderate groups,and the Northwest Dry Syndrome Scale score in the moderate group was higher than that in the mild group(P＜0.05).Among 89 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis,the main syndrome of lung wei kong pi dryness syndrome had the highest number of cases,totaling 42 cases(47.19％).The highest number of concurrent syndromes were heart kidney yin deficiency syndrome,totaling 36 cases(40.45％),followed by spleen stomach yin deficiency syndrome,totaling 35 cases(39.33％).The results showed that suffering from Northwest dryness syndrome was a risk factor for pulmonary tuberculosis(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the scores of the main syndrome of Northwest dryness(Lung Wei Kong Pi dryness syndrome),the concurrent syndrome of Northwest dryness(Lung Heart Spleen Wind Fire dryness syndrome),and the concurrent syndrome of Northwest dryness(Spleen Stomach Yin Deficiency syndrome)between the control group and the case group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the scores of Northwest dryness syndrome(liver and kidney essence and blood deficiency syndrome),Northwest dryness syndrome(heart and kidney yin deficiency syndrome),and Northwest dryness syndrome(spleen and stomach dampness syndrome)between the control group and the case group(P＞0.05).The score of pulmonary tuberculosis syndrome was positively correlated with various types of Northwest dryness syndrome(P＜0.05),and there was a significant correlation at the 0.001 level between pulmonary Wei Kong Pi dryness syndrome,pulmonary heart spleen wind fire dryness syndrome,and spleen stomach dampness syndrome(P＜0.05).The correlation between liver and kidney essence and blood deficiency syndrome and spleen and stomach yin deficiency syndrome is significant at the 0.01 level(P＜0.05).The correlation between heart and kidney yin deficiency syndrome is significant at the 0.05 level(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The northwest dryness syndrome is related to the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Moyu County,Hotan Prefecture,Xinjiang,and is a risk factor for the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis.There is a significant positive correlation between the pulmonary tuberculosis syndrome score and various types of northwest dryness syndrome,among which the lung wei kong pi dryness syndrome,lung heart spleen wind fire dryness syndrome,and spleen stomach dampness syndrome have the most significant impact on the pulmonary nucleus syndrome score.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of cerebroplacental ratio(CPR),cerebro-uterine ratio(CUR)combined with cystatin C(CysC)for adverse pregnancy outcomes in preeclampsia(PE)fetuses.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 150 PE patients admitted to the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Nuclear Industry 416 Hospital from January 2019 to December 2024,and patients were divided into the adverse-outcome group and the favorable-outcome group according to pregnancy outcomes.The clinical data,CPR,CUR and CysC level were compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome in PE patients;then,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive efficiency of each index on adverse pregnancy outcome.Results The adverse-outcome group had shorter/lower gestational age at diagnosis,estimated fetal body weight,CUR,and CPR,but higher body mass index and CysC level compared to those in the favorable-outcome group,with significant differences(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression identified that the elevated CysC level,and decreased CUR and CPR were related influencing factors for adverse pregnancy outcome(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that CUR,CPR and CysC had strong predictive value for adverse pregnancy outcome,with the area under the curve(AUC)of 0.802(95%CI:0.729 to 0.863),0.834(95%CI:0.764 to 0.890),and 0.791(95%CI:0.717 to 0.853),respectively;the combined prediction of CUR,CPR and CysC had grater AUC of 0.909(95%CI:0.851 to 0.950)than the individual prediction of the above three indicators(P<0.05).Conclusion CUR,CPR and CysC are influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome in PE patients,and their combined detection demonstrates good predictive value for adverse pregnancy outcome in PE patients.

Objective:Invasive pulmonary mucormycosis(PM)is a rare but highly lethal opportunistic infection.COVID-19 associated mucormycosis(CAM)is difficult to diagnose,often leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis,and has poor treatment outcomes.This study reports a case of successfully treated CAM and explores optimized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the diagnosis and treatment process in a 50-year-old female patient with COVID-19 associated with diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA)and invasive pulmonary mucormycosis was conducted.Combined with a literature review,the therapeutic efficacy of local bronchoscopic instillation in conjunction with systemic treatment using liposomal Amphotericin B(L-AmB)was specifically evaluated.Results:The patient was rapidly diagnosed with Rhizopus microsporus infection through metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS).She subsequently received antifungal treatment with intravenous L-AmB combined with local bronchoscopic instillation.After treatment,the patient was significantly improved,with imaging studies showing gradual absorption of the lesions.Follow-up at six months revealed no recurrence.A literature review suggests that early diagnosis and multimodal therapy are key to improving survival rates in patients with CAM.Conclusion:mNGS can significantly improve the early diagnosis rate of CAM.The combination of local and systemic treatment with L-AmB is valuable in improving prognosis.Early diagnosis,multimodal antifungal therapy,and individualized management are key to increasing the survival rate of patients with CAM.
