ObjectiveTo analyze the temporal trend of knockdown resistance (kdr) gene mutations highly correlated with pyrethroid resistance in field populations of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating rational insecticide use strategies. MethodsAdult mosquito samples of Aedes aegypti from 2016 to 2023 and larvae mosquito samples from July 2022 to June 2023 were collected in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province. Allele specific PCR (AS-PCR) was used to measure kdr mutations at amino acid positions 989, 1016 and 1534 of the voltage-gated sodium ion channel (VGSC) gene. Data such as mutation rate and mutation allele frequency were calculated, SPSS software was used to perform trend chi square tests on mutation rate and mutation allele frequency with year and month, as well as comparison of mutation allele frequencies and genotype distributions between the dry and rainy seasons, thereby delineating the temporal trend of kdr gene mutations. ResultsAmong the 173 samples collected from 2016 to 2023, the mutation rates of S989P and V1016G were 100.00% for each year, while the mutation rate of F1534C ranged from 62.50% to 100.00%. The mutation rate and mutation allele frequency of F1534C were increased over the years (χ²=22.079, P<0.001; χ²=42.971, P<0.001). Concurrently, the proportion of the PPGGCC genotype was increased annually (χ²=60.790, P<0.001). Among the 288 samples collected from July 2022 to June 2023, the monthly mutation rates for S989P, V1016G, and F1534C were consistently 100.00%. There was only one type of mutation present, namely S989P+V1016G+F1534C. In the combinations of the three genotypes, the SPGGCC genotype accounted for 1.39% (4/288), the PPGGFC accounted for 2.78% (8/288), and the PPGGCC had the highest proportion at 95.83% (276/288). After tesiting the samples collected in August 2023, the mutation rates of 989, 1016 and 1534 sites of VGSC in females, males, and larvae of the same generation were all 100.00%. ConclusionSince 2016, the gene mutations at S989P and V1016G loci in the VGSC gene of wild Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City have remained consistently at 100.00%, while the mutation rate and mutant allele frequency of F1534C have increased year by year during the testing period. By 2023, the mutation rates at three loci in the VGSC gene of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City had all reached 100.00%, and neither changes in insect developmental stage nor gender differences during transmission exerted a detectable impact on the mutation rates. In the control of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City, the use of pyrethroid insecticides should be stopped or reduced, and regular monitoring of kdr genes should be carried out to promptly detect new mutations.

Objective:To investigate the effect of AngioJet thrombectomy on proximal iliofemoral vein thrombosis after trauma.Methods:The clinical data of patients with proximal iliofemoral vein thrombosis treated with AngioJet thrombectomy were retrospectively analyzed at Vascular Surgery Department of our hospital in 2019.Results:A total of 76 patients were enrolled. After PMT 20 patients had grade Ⅲ thrombolysis clearance(26.3%), 41 patients (53.9%) had grade Ⅱ clearance, and 15 cases (19.7%) had grade Ⅰ clearance. Thirty four cases (44.7%) of grade Ⅲ were cleared after catheter aspiration or catheter thrombolysis, 35 cases (46.1%) of grade Ⅱ, 7 cases (9.2%) of grade Ⅰ were cleared, thrombus clearance rate increased significantly ( P<0.05). Cerebral hemorrhage occurred in 1 case (1.3%), and thrombosis recurred in 2 cases (2.6%). The patency rate was 91.8% at 3 months follow-up. Conclusions:AngioJet thrombectomy is a safe and effective method for treating post-traumatic proximal iliac femoral vein thrombosis. Intraoperative application of urokinase thrombolysis, catheter aspiration and catheter-directed thrombolysis can increase thrombus clearance effect.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a simultaneously detecting method for 9 kinds of anion in workplace air by ion chromatography. METHODS: Nine kinds of anions in workplace air include fluoride ion,chloride ion,nitrite ion,bromide ion,nitrate ion,sulfate ion,phosphate ion,oxalate denominationbl and iodide ion were sampled with sodium carbonatesodium bicarbonate( concentration 3. 2,1. 1 mmol/L respectively),separated by the anion column,detected by the conductivity detector and quantified by external standard method. RESULTS: The linearity of the 9 anions in the corresponding mass concentration range was good( correlation coefficient > 0. 999). The detection limit was 0. 02-0. 18mg/L and the marking recovery was 96. 0%-100. 5%. The within-run relative standard deviation( RSD) was 0. 3%-2. 5%,and the between-run RSD was 0. 4%-3. 1%. All the sampling efficiencies were > 96. 8%,and the samples could be stored at room temperature for 5 days. CONCLUSION: The method has good accuracy,high sensitivity,with simple and rapid operation,and can simultaneously measure various anions in the air of workplace.

The abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in liver is the main feature of hepatic fibrosis,and collagen is the most important component in ECM.Collagen plays an important role in the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis.Therefore,to find traditional Chinese medicine with significant effect on collagen metabolism has become a critical approach for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis.This review summarized the role of collagen metabolism in liver fibrosis,and the research progress in traditional Chinese medicines with anti-hepatic fibrosis effect by regulating collagen metabolism was explored as well.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference among plans designed by 4-field,6-field TomoDirect and TomoHelical techniques in Tomotherapy system for left-breast cancer patients with radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery.Method A total of 16 patients with left-breast cancer following breast-conserving surgery and intensity-modulated radiation therapy were enrolled in this retrospective study.The 4-field TomoDirect (TD4),6-field TomoDirect (TD6),and TomoHelical (TH) techniques were applied to design simulation plans in tomotherapy system for each patient,respectively.The differences of dose distribution and treatment parameters were analyzed in this study.Results Three plans all met the clinical requirement.Thereinto,TD4 was superior to TH in the dose limitation of organs at risk (OARs),especially the max dose of cord and right-breast,thc 5 Gy radiation volume of lung,and the mean dose of heart(F =595.60,129.24,60.44,65.37,P ＜ 0.05),but inferior to TH in dose homogeneity (HI) and conformity (CI) (F =2.78,60.93,P ＜ 0.05).However,TD6 improved TD4's HI and CI when delivered the lower OARs dose compared to TH.Meanwhile,the number of monitor units was less in TD technique and reduced the treatment times (F =24.89,3.75,P ＜ O.05).Conclusions For the radiotherapy of left-breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery,TD6 technique appeared to be superior,with the lower radiation dose of OARs compared to TH technique,and the better target's HI and CI in comparison with TD4 technique,especially in patients with early stage breast cancer.
