Objective To investigate the prevalence of Anisakis infections in coastal marine fishes and awareness of anisakiasis control knowledge among local residents in Yantai City, Shandong Province in 2021, so as to provide insights into formulation of anisakiasis control interventions. Methods Marine fishes were purchased from Shunxin Port, Yantai City, Shandong Province in November 2021, and the presence of Anisakis was detected in different species of fishes and different fish sites. The correlations between body length and weight of marine fish and intensity of Anisakis infections were examined using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis, and the dietary habits and anisakiasis control knowledge were investigated using questionnaire surveys among local residents. Results A total of 201 marine fishes belonging to 20 species were dissected, and Anisakis was detected in 77 marine fishes (38.31%) belonging to 11 species (55.00%), with a mean infection intensity of 45.04 parasites per fish (3 468/77). Spearman’s rank correlation analysis revealed that the body length (r_s = 0.74, P < 0.05) and weight (r_s = 0.79, P < 0.01) of the monkfish correlated positively with the intensity of Anisakis infections, and the body length (r_s = 0.68, P < 0.05) of the flatfish correlated positively with the intensity of Anisakis infections, while no correlations were examined between the body length or weight of other marine fishes and the intensity of Anisakis infections. Of all respondents, 53.38% men and 56.67% women did not know anisakiasis control knowledge at all, and there was a significant difference in the proportion of respondents using separate chopping boards for raw and cooked food from different villages (χ² = 17.89, P < 0.01), while there was an age-specific proportion of respondents with habitats of eating raw or semi-raw seafood (χ² = 28.27, P < 0.01). Conclusions The prevalence and intensity of Anisakis infections were high in coastal marine fishes in Yantai City in 2021, and the awareness of anisakiasis control knowledge was low among local residents. Intensified health education pertaining to anisakiasis control knowledge is recommended to reduce the risk of Anisakis infections.

Aim To analyze the influencing factors of adverse cardiovascular events in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and to establish a nomogram prediction model.Methods A total of 216 elderly patients with acute STEMI who underwent PCI in Jinqiu Hospital of Liaoning Province from February 2021 to January 2023 were selected and divided into occurrence group(n=33)and non-occurrence group(n=183)according to the occurrence of postoperative adverse cardiovascular events.General data,laboratory indicators,imaging information,and postoperative medication data of all patients were collected.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to explore independent risk factors for adverse cardiovas-cular events.A nomogram prediction model was constructed according to independent risk factors of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet/lymphocyte ratio(PLR),C-reactive protein/albumin ratio(CAR),C-reactive protein to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(CHR),calibration curve was drawn to verify the nomogram model,and receiv-er operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the predictive efficacy of the predictive model for column line diagrams.Results The levels of NLR,PLR,CAR,CHR,Gensini score,and platelet aggregation ratio(PAR)were significantly higher in occurrence group than those in non-occurrence group,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)was significantly lower in occurrence group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that Gensini score,LVEF,PAR,NLR,PLR,CAR and CHR were independent risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events after PCI in elderly acute STE-MI patients(P＜0.05).The column-line diagram model for predicting the risk of adverse cardiac events after PCI in eld-erly acute STEMI patients was constructed based on independent risk factors,and the calibration curve of the model was close to the ideal model,and the ROC curve showed that the area under the ROC curve for the prediction of the risk of ad-verse cardiovascular events in the elderly acute STEMI patients was 0.914.Conclusion NLR,PLR,CAR and CHR are independent risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events in elderly acute STEMI patients after PCI,and the nomogram model constructed based on these factors can effectively predict the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in elderly acute STEMI patients after PCI.

Conclusion:Pomacea spp. is found and reported for the first time in Shandong Province, and there is a risk of population infection with angiostrongyliasis cantonensis.

Malaria remains one of the most serious public health problems in tropical and subtropical countries and regions. In the control of the vector Anopheles, insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying, which have been promoted to interrupt malaria transmission by only preventing indoor blood-sucking by adult mosquitoes, consequently have been widely used in malaria-endemic areas. However, the efficacy of these measures in interrupting malaria transmission is gradually decreasing due to the development of mosquito resistance. In contrast, Anopheles larval source management can effectively reduce the population density of indoor and outdoor blood-sucking, wild and domestic mosquitoes. It can also be combined with adult mosquito control to become an important adjunct to existing adult mosquito control measures. In more than 70 years of malaria control and elimination in China, according to different conditions in different places, exploration and practice have been carried out in different types of control of malaria Anopheles larvae, such as habitat modification, habitat manipulation, larviciding, and biological control. These efforts have accumulated rich experience and resulted in strategies tailored to local conditions, integrated control, community involvement, and methodological innovation. This paper outlines the main practices and basic strategies of Anopheles larval source management for malaria control in China, with the aim of providing references for malaria control in other regions where malaria is still endemic.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of enuresis in children aged 5-13 years old in Jinshan District, Shanghai, and analyze the relevant pathogenic factors, so as to provide a reference for clinical prevention and treatment of enuresis in children and related psychological diseases. Methods Using the medical history collection table (CMT checklist) of ICCS (International Association for Urinary Control of Children) as a guidance, a random cluster sampling was performed on 1 000 preschool and school-age children from 9 representative schools with a relatively concentrated population in Jinshan District. Results Excluding the missing and invalid questionnaires, a total of 785 cases were included in the study, and the total prevalence of enulists in 5-13 children was 7.77% (61 cases), among which 42 cases were 5-7 years old (68.85%), 12 cases were 8-10 years old (19.67%), and 7 cases were 11-13 years old (11.48%). There were statistically significant differences among the age groups (χ²=52.87，P=0.001)). Among the affected children, 3.31% (26 cases) were in urban areas and 4.46% (35 cases) in rural areas (P<0.05). The prevalence of boys (38 cases) and the prevalence of girls (23 cases) were statistically significant (P<0.05). The characteristics of enuresis, organic diseases, and attention were analyzed in 61 children diagnosed with enuresis. Children with enuresis ≥7 times/week were the highest (33 cases), accounting for 54.10%; children with 3-6times/week (19 cases) accounted for 31.15%; 2 times/week (9 cases) accounted for 14.75%. Physical examination abnormalities (including urinary routine abnormalities: urinary tract infection, hematuria, high urinary calcium or phimosis) were found in 18 cases, accounting for 29.51%. Four patients (6.56%) had a family history of enuresis. Fifty-two (85.25%) of the affected children had psychologically related problems: introverted personality, impulsiveness, inferiority, lack of concentration, medium or inferior academic performance. Conclusion The prevalence of enuresis in 5-13 children was 7.77%. There were significant differences between urban and rural areas, different age groups and genders as well. Most sick children developed organic diseases and some degree of psychological problems. A timely diagnosis and treatment of enuresis in children in combination with psychological guidance and behavioral intervention is necessary for the prevention of the occurrence of enuresis related psychological problems.

Objective:To prepare ultrasound-responsive nanodroplets with block polymer PEG-PCL as shell and perfluoropentane (PFP) as core, and study the effects of mechanical index (MI) on contrast-enhanced imaging properties of nanodroplet.Methods:PEG-PCL micelles were first prepared by dialysis, and then the micelles were mixed with PFP for emulsification to obtain nanodroplets. The particle size and zeta potential of nanodroplets were measured, and the morphology of nanodroplets were observed using transmission electron microscope (TEM). The stability of nanodroplets after storage at 25 ℃ and 37 ℃ was investigated. The phase transition and contrast-enhanced imaging of nanodroplets in vitro under a series of mechanical index (MI) were studied using an ultrasound diagnostic instrument.Results:The particle size of the nanodroplets was (356.6±5.6)nm, and the zeta potential was -(7.30±0.14)mV. The nanodroplets were close to spherical under TEM and had a clear core-shell structure. The particle size and dispersion of the nanodroplets increased after storage at 37 ℃ and 25 ℃. For imaging in vitro, no acoustic signal were observed at 25 ℃ when the MI varied from 0.08 to 1.0. At 37 ℃, acoustic signals were observed when MI≥0.4, and the intensity was stronger for higher MIs.Conclusions:The contrast-enhanced imaging of nanodroplets are closely related to the MI, and a higher MI could induce the phase transition of more nanodroplets and produce stronger contrast enhancement. This study could provide basis for the application of polymeric nanodroplets in ultrasound diagnosis and targeted therapy.
