Objective In order to understand the current resistance status of Aedes albopictus(Ae. albopictus) adult population to commonly used insecticides and the resistance dynamics development in Zhejiang Province and provide a theoretical basis for the scientific and rational use of hygienic insecticides. Methods Resistance determination was carried out using the diagnostic dose method(GB/T 26347-2010)recommended by WHO in the adult mosquito contact cylinder method to monitor the resistance of Ae. albopictus field populations in 11 cities and districts in Zhejiang Province in 2024. Results The monitoring result showed that adult Ae. albopictus in 11 areas were resistant or suspected resistant populations to both cis-cypermethrin and permethrin; suspected and resistant populations to the organophosphate insecticide malathion were as high as 81.82%; while suspected resistance to the carbamate insecticide residual carbofuran accounted for 45.45%, and the rest of the monitoring sites were sensitive to it. Conclusions The result suggest that the generalized resistance of Ae. albopictus populations to pyrethroids and organophosphorus insecticides in the field in Zhejiang Province needs to be highly emphasized. In future mosquito vector and mosquito-borne disease control, insecticides should be selected based on the resistance monitoring information, while following scientific guidelines for insecticide use.

Objective To evaluate the intravascular volume at different levels of edema and disease course by the fractional excretion of filtered sodium(FeNa)of children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS).Methods A total of 172 children with newly diagnosed PNS who were hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2022 to September 2024 were selected and divided into non-e-dema group(n=51),mild edema group(n=43),moderate edema group(n=46)and severe edema group(n=32)according to the degree of edema at the time of admission.A total of 40 healthy children who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the healthy control group.Serum creatinine,ser-um sodium were detected before and after treatment.Urine samples were collected to detect urine creatinine,urine sodium,FeNa was calculated and compared according to the results,and the degree of edema was recor-ded.24 h urine samples were collected on the same day to detect 24 h urine protein quantification and 24 h u-rine volume.Results On day 1 to 2 of the course of the disease,about 12%of the PNS children had FeNa<0.2%,indicating insufficient intravascular volume,which was mainly concentrated in the severe edema group.The moderate,severe edema group had a significantly lower FeNa level than the non-edema group,mild edema group,and healthy control group(P<0.01).The moderate edema group had a significant increase in FeNa on days 6 to 7 of the course of the disease,and the severe edema group had a significant increase in Fena on days 11 to 12 of the course of the disease(P<0.01).Conclusion Intravascular volume of PNS children with mod-erate to severe edema is often reduced,and intravascular volume may be insufficient in severe edema.PNS chil-dren with moderate to severe edema have increased intravascular volume with the extension of the course of disease and the improvement of the condition.

BACKGROUND:The pelvis has abundant trabecular bone content,but the ability of conventional sacroiliac percutaneous fixation to control trabecular bone is limited,leading to fixation failure.Therefore,the development of devices that can more effectively control trabecular bone tension is of significant importance.OBJECTIVE:The mechanical properties of a novel sacroiliac tension screw were investigated using biomechanical testing and numerical modeling analysis,along with an assessment of the reliability of the pull-out force numerical model.METHODS:A mechanical model was established based on the working principle of the novel sacroiliac tension screw.Numerical methods were employed to analyze its pull-out performance,validated through mechanical testing with polyurethane material to assess the reliability of the pull-out force numerical model.Using pelvic specimens,the mechanical effectiveness of the novel sacroiliac tension screw in repairing sacroiliac joint injuries was analyzed under normal standing posture,along with an evaluation of the load stiffness of different pelvic models in the standing position.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The average error between the computed values of the numerical model and the measured values was 13.19％,indicating a certain level of validity for the numerical model.(2)The damage to the polyurethane material after the extraction of the screw was less pronounced in the novel screw group.(3)The average effective holding displacement for the novel screw was approximately(9.24±0.27)mm,significantly greater than the average displacement of(1.71±0.57)mm observed with the lag screws.However,the maximum resistance to pullout for the lag screws was significantly higher than that for the novel screws.(4)The novel screw effectively repaired sacroiliac joint injuries.(5)The stiffness after repair of sacroiliac joint injuries was equivalent when using a single novel screw compared to using two lag screws.(6)These results prove that the theoretical model for the maximum resistance to pullout of the screws established in this study has a certain level of validity and can guide the design of them with improved mechanical performance.The novel sacroiliac spiral blade screw can effectively hold trabecular bone and has practical clinical utility.

Objective:To investigate the electron microscopic evaluation results of pre-transplant biopsies of deceased donor kidneys and the corresponding recovery of graft function in recipients after kidney transplantation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and donor kidney electron microscopy (EM) reports of 196 kidney transplant recipients who underwent pre-implantation kidney biopsies at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between October 2020 and June 2023. The ultrastructural pathological features assessed in the pre-transplant kidney biopsy included: the number of glomeruli, the presence of leukocytes and endothelial cells within the glomeruli, the arrangement of capillary loops, abnormalities in podocytes, mesangial cells, mesangial matrix and glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and multilayering of the peritubular capillary basement membrane. Referring to the Mayo Clinic/Renal Pathology Society Consensus Report on the pathological classification, diagnosis, and reporting of glomerulonephritis, the expert consensus on renal biopsy pathology reporting models, and the content of the 2019 Banff Transplant Pathology Meeting, a scoring system was established for ultrastructural pathology of donor kidneys. According to the scores, the recipients were divided into three groups: Group A (total score ≥ 8 points, 94 cases), Group B (total score between 6 and 8 points, 85 cases), and Group C (total score < 6 points, 17 cases). The serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and proteinuria at postoperative day 1, day 7, month 1, month 3, month 6, and year 1 were compared among the three groups.Results:Among the 196 donor kidneys, EM examination before transplantation showed the following findings: 19 cases (9.7%) had prominent leukocyte infiltration within the glomeruli, 8 cases (4.1%) had mild leukocyte infiltration, and the remaining 169 cases (86.2%) showed no obvious increase in glomerular leukocytes. Glomerular capillary loop collapse or narrowing was seen in 19 cases (9.7%). Endothelial cell proliferation was observed in 32 cases (16.3%). Homogeneous thickening of the GBM (400-900 nm) was present in 82 cases (41.8%). Foot process effacement ranged from partial to diffuse. Podocyte vacuolar degeneration was seen in 62 cases (32.1%), and podocyte swelling in 10 cases (5.1%). Electron-dense deposits in the mesangial area were observed in 9 cases (4.6%). Mild tubular epithelial swelling was present in 6 cases (3.1%). Only 22 cases (11.2%) showed no multilayering of the peritubular capillary basement membrane, while 174 cases (88.8%) showed 2 to 5 layers of multilayering. All donor glomeruli showed irregular capillary loop arrangement, and the renal interstitium showed scattered inflammatory infiltration and varying degrees of collagen fiber deposition. Group C had significantly higher qualitative proteinuria levels at day 7 and month 1 post-transplantation compared with Groups A and B ( P=0.036, 0.004). There were no statistically significant differences in other renal function indicators among the groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Pre-transplant electron microscopy of donor kidneys helps in accurately assessing donor kidney quality and identifying subtle pre-existing pathological changes. It can serve as a reference tool for predicting post-transplant functional recovery. Mild ultrastructural abnormalities in donor kidneys have a relatively controllable impact on long-term graft outcomes.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

A mounting body of research suggests that circRNAs significantly contribute to the develop-ment of myocardial fibrosis.The microarray results of human circular RNA expression profile indicated that circHERC4_041 expression increased in the myocardium of patients with heart failure,RT-qPCR a-nalysis confirmed that the myocardial expression level of circHERC4_041 in individuals with heart failure were considerably elevated compared to that in healthy organ donors.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)confirmed that circHERC4_041 was abundant in the cytoplasm of human cardiomyocyte AC16.Overexpression of circHERC4_041 in mouse myocardial fibroblasts(mCFs)mediated by adenovirus in-hibited the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in mCFs.Experiments involving cell proliferation,wound healing,and Transwell assays demonstrated that overexpression of circHERC4_041 suppressed the growth and mobility of mCFs(P＜0.001).Sequence analysis results suggested that circHERC4_041 con-tains potential ribosome entry sequence(IRES)and open reading frame(ORF).Western blot confirmed that circHERC4_041 could translate the 516 amino acid HERC4-516aa protein,which was mainly located in the cytoplasm of the cell.Cell functional experiments confirmed that circHERC4_041 inhibited the fi-brotic phenotype of mCFs by specifically translating HERC4-516aa(P＜0.05).The specific interaction between HERC4-516aa and transglutaminase 2(TGM2)was confirmed by IP-MS screening and Co-IP i-dentification.Further results found that the degradation of TGM2 was promoted through proteasome path-way.The overexpression of TGM2 in mCFs facilitated by adenoviral vectors could counteract the suppres-sive effects of HERC4-516aa on the fibrotic phenotype of mCFs.Therefore,this study confirmed that the HERC4-516aa protein translated by circHERC4_041 can specifically bind to TGM2 to inhibit the fibrotic phenotype of myocardial fibroblasts.

Objective To review the diagnostic information of 3368 viral hepatitis B inpatient cases reported by some healthcare institutions in Qinghai Province in the National Notifiable Disease Report System(NNDRS)in 2021,and to analyse the consistency of their reports and influence factor.Methods The study used the typical survey method to study 3368 hospitalized cases of hepatitis B reported by 32 medical institutions in Qinghai Province in 2021 from July 2022 to April 2023.The consistency between the reported classification and the reviewed classification was evaluated by reviewing diagnostic information of the cases,combined with the Kappa consistency test,and the consistency-influencing factors were analysed in a univariate and multivariate analysis.Results The consistency between acute,chronic,and unclassified reporting classifications and review classifications was poor(Kappa＜0.40);the consistency between acute and chronic review was poor(Kappa＜0.40).The main influence factor of the consistency of review included the level of medical institution,the patient's gender,occupation,past history,and the unit of diagnosis of initial onset of illness.Provincial medical institutions reported higher consistency,and male cases and herder cases had better consistency than female cases and other occupations.Review consistency of cases with past history was better than that of cases with unclear past history.Conclusion The consistency of diagnosis and reporting of hepatitis B cases in healthcare institutions in Qinghai Province in 2021 was low,with problems of inaccurate classification and duplicate reporting.It is recommended to strengthen the training and supervision of healthcare institutions,standardise the filling of'attached card'information,and promote the hepatitis B core antibody IgM test to improve the classification and diagnosis of acute and chronic hepatitis B,so as to comprehensively improve the accuracy of the diagnosis and reporting of hepatitis B cases.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term outcomes and predictors of coronary atherosclerotic lesions deemed functionally non-ischemic (quantitative flow ratio(QFR)>0.80) and deferred from intervention.Methods:This study is a post-hoc analysis of the FAVOR Ⅲ China trial, which enrolled 3 825 patients with stable or unstable angina pectoris or with myocardial infarction occurring at least 72 hours prior to screening, between December 5, 2018 and January 9, 2020 from 26 research centers in China. Coronary vessels with QFR>0.80 and without interventional treatment were analyzed in this study. The primary endpoint was 3-year target vessel revascularization. Vessels with revascularization (revascularized group) during follow-up were matched 1∶1 using propensity score matching to comparable vessels without revascularization (non-revascularized group). Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for target vessel revascularization (TVR).Results:A total of 6 212 functionally negative vessels with deferred intervention were included in the final analysis, among which 153 vessels (2.5%) underwent TVR during a 3-year follow-up. Prior to propensity score matching, 6 059 vessels comprised the non-revascularized group. At the vessel level, compared to the non-revascularized group, the revascularized group exhibited a significantly higher proportion of males (79.1% (121/153) vs. 70.2% (4 253/6 059), P=0.018), higher body mass index ((25.6±4.0) kg/m2 vs. (24.3±5.2) kg/m2, P=0.003), and a higher prevalence of hypertension (73.9% (113/153) vs. 65.1% (3 944/6 059), P=0.025). And 152 pairs of vessels were successfully matched. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified in-stent restenosis lesions ( HR=2.59, 95% CI 1.28-5.23, P=0.008) as an independent risk factor for target vessel revascularization. Conclusions:Coronary lesions classified as functionally non-ischemic at baseline are not entirely stable and may progress to lesions that requiring revascularization over time. In-stent restenosis emerges as a critical independent predictor of revascularization.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.
