Climate change is altering the Earth's water cycle system. The resulting three extreme weather events—heatwaves, droughts, and extreme precipitation—impacts urban and rural water security through multi-layered mechanisms. A primary structural disparity exists between urban and rural systems: while urban areas benefit from comprehensive and standardized pipe networks that ensure terminal water quality, rural areas often suffer from "last mile" vulnerability due to inadequate infrastructure and outdated purification facilities. Extreme weather can directly alter the microbial community structure, concentrations of chemical pollutants and physicochemical properties of source water. These alterations interfere with the efficiency of water treatment processes and ultimately compromise the integrity of distribution systems. Because distribution networks often lack real-time monitoring and adaptive response capabilities, they have emerged as the most vulnerable link in the "water source-water treatment-distribution system" chain. Based on a systematic analysis of these chain-wide impacts, this paper proposed a series of control strategies, including security frameworks based on multi-model coupling and water source protection measures, improvement of water treatment technologies, optimization of distribution systems, and development of new water quality monitoring methods. These strategies aim to enhance the climate adaptability of urban and rural drinking water systems through multi-dimensional intervention, providing a theoretical basis for constructing climate-resilient water infrastructure.

Glioma represents the most prevalent malignant tumor of the central nervous system, with chemotherapy serving as an essential adjunctive treatment. However, most chemotherapeutic agents exhibit limited ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study introduced a novel dual-targeting strategy for glioma therapy by modulating the formation of nanobody-driven protein coronas to enhance the brain and tumor-targeting efficiency of hydrophobic cisplatin prodrug-loaded lipid nanoparticles (C8Pt-Ls). Specifically, nanobodies (Nbs) with fibrinogen-binding capabilities were conjugated to the surface of C8Pt-Ls, resulting in the generation of Nb-C8Pt-Ls. Within the bloodstream, Nb-C8Pt-Ls could bound more fibrinogen, forming the protein corona that specifically interacted with LRP-1, a receptor highly expressed on the BBB. This interaction enabled a "Hitchhiking Effect" mechanism, facilitating efficient trans-BBB transport and promoting effective brain targeting. Additionally, the protein corona interacted with LRP-1, which is also overexpressed in glioma cells, achieving precise tumor targeting. Computational simulations and SPR detection clarified the molecular interaction mechanism of the Nb-fibrinogen-(LRP-1) complex, confirming its binding specificity and stability. Our results demonstrated that this strategy significantly enhanced C8Pt accumulation in brain tissues and tumors, induced apoptosis in glioma cells, and improved therapeutic efficacy. This study provides a novel framework for glioma therapy and underscores the potential of protein corona modulation-based dual-targeting strategies in advancing treatments for brain tumors.

Objectives:To investigate the feasibility and ideal trajectory of medialized entry iliac screws(MEIS)placed in the posterior superior iliac in spinopelvic fixation through imaging and anatomic analyses,and to validate in clinical practice.Methods:The imaging data of 90 patients(45 males,45 females;57.5±1.6 years)without spinal or pelvic pathology who underwent pelvic CT scan in the radiology department of our hospital between June 2022 and September 2024 were collected.Three-dimensional pelvic reconstruction was performed using Mimics 21.0 software.The parameters of the bony channels of the iliac were measured and compared between males and females,including short and long axes of teardrop cross-section,the narrowest and widest inter-cortical distances of the iliac corridors,sacroiliac joint angles,and screw-to-sagittal plane angles.The ideal screw trajectory for MEIS was determined based on imaging and anatomical characteristics,and standard surgical procedures were formulated,which were applied in 5 patients.Results:No significant gender differences were observed in the narrowest iliac corridor width(males:15.19±1.81mm vs.females:15.01±2.24mm,P＞0.05),widest corridor width(males:24.16±1.66mm vs.females:24.44±2.92mm,P＞0.05),or sacroiliac joint angle(males:39.63°±4.13° vs.females:40.76°±2.94°,P＞0.05).However,significant gender dif-ferences were found in the screw-to-sagittal angle(males:30.38°±3.15° vs.females:26.72°±5.64°,P＜0.05),as well as in the teardrop short axis(males:22.00±1.25mm vs.females:20.47±1.73mm,P＜0.05)and long axis(males:32.92±2.85mm vs.females:30.80±1.48mm,P＜0.05).Notably,the narrowest and widest inter-cortical distances of the iliac corridors,and short and long axes of teardrop cross-section exceeded the diameter(9mm)of a iliac screw(P＜0.001).Postoperative imaging examinations of the 5 patients who underwent this surgical procedure showed that all implants were stably positioned,with satisfactory improvement in symptoms and functional outcomes.Conclusions:The MEIS placement in the posterior superior iliac is safe and feasible,which can serve as a new option for iliac screw placement trajectory in spinopelvic fixation.

Objective To analyze the current status of knowledge,attitude,and behavior?(KAP)of doctors and pharmacists regarding iodine contrast agent allergic reactions in medical institutions in China and the influencing factors,to provide reference for the treatment of iodine contrast agent allergic patients.Methods A questionnaire survey on iodine contrast agent allergic reactions was conducted among doctors and pharmacists in China using a self-designed questionnaire.The questionnaire was distributed online via WeChat and the participants were anonymous and voluntary.The scores of knowledge,attitude,and behavior of medical staff of different genders,departments,and titles were statistically analyzed.Wilcoxon rank sum test and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors.Results A total of 105 doctors and pharmacists from 19 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities participated in the survey,completing 105 valid questionnaires.The knowledge score(out of 4 points),attitude score(out of 3 points),and behavior score(out of 3 points)of doctors and pharmacists regarding contrast agent allergy reactions were 2(1,2)points,1(0,2)points,and 1(1,2)points,respectively.Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that job title is a factor affecting the knowledge score.Compared to those with primary and below titles,senior title doctors and pharmacists had higher knowledge scores(P=0.007).Educational level is a influence factor affecting the attitude score.Compared to those with undergraduate and below educational levels,doctors and pharmacists with doctoral degrees had more positive attitudes(P=0.011).Attitude score is a influence factor affecting the behavior score,the more positive the attitude,the more positive the behavior(P=0.015).Conclusion The knowledge,attitude,and practice(KAP)of doctors and pharmacists regarding contrast agent allergy reactions need to be strengthened.Training should be conducted for doctors and pharmacists,taking into account the KAP differences among individuals with different job titles and educational levels,to enhance knowledge levels and actively explore safe and effective desensitization treatment methods for patients with contrast agent allergies.The use of iodinated contrast agents should be rationalized while ensuring patient safety.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of bs-5-YHEDA iron chelating peptide combined with semaglutide on the cognitive ability and pathological characteristics of D-Gal-induced Alzheimer's disease(AD) model mice. METHODS Forty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, namely the healthy control group, PBS group, bs-5-YHEDA iron chelating peptide group, combined treatment group and positive control group, with 8 mice in each group, half of each sex. Except for the healthy control group, D-galactose was injected to induce the AD mice model for 6 weeks. For 3 consecutive weeks starting from the 4th week, the bs-5-YHEDA iron chelating peptide group was injected with bs-5-YHEDA(1 mg·mL–1) once every other day at 200 µL in the tail vein; the bs-5-YHEDA iron chelating peptide(1 mg·mL–1) and semaglutide(25 nmol·kg–1·d–1) were given alternately once a day in the combination treatment group; the positive control group was given memantine(3.3 mg·kg–1·d–1) by gavage every other day. The healthy control group and PBS group were injected with the equal dose of PBS. At the end of treatment, the learning memory ability of mice was detected by the Morris water maze method, whole brain and whole blood were dissected, and pathological changes in hippocampal region were observed by HE staining, and Aβ expression and Tau protein phosphorylation levels were detected by immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblotting. RESULTS In the Morris water maze spatial exploration experiment, the differences in the number of times the mice traversed the platform, the ratio of swimming distance to the target quadrant, and the time ratio were statistically significant in each group(P<0.05); compared with the PBS group, the ratio of swimming distance to the target quadrant increased in the combined treatment group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The results of HE staining showed that compared with the healthy control mice, the hippocampal area in the PBS group showed reduced levels of pyramidal cells, disorganized arrangement, cell edema, and deep staining of nuclei consolidation. Cellular disorganization, deep staining of nuclei and apoptosis in the hippocampus were significantly improved in each treatment group after drug treatment. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting results showed that the Aβ expression levels and Tau protein phosphorylation levels were significantly higher in the PBS-administered mice compared with the healthy control mice, and the Aβ expression levels and Tau protein phosphorylation levels were reduced in each group after drug treatment, with statistically significant differences(P<0.01 or P<0.001 ). CONCLUSION The combination of bs-5-YHEDA iron chelating peptide and semaglutide can effectively improve the learning and memory ability and pathological characteristics of AD mice, but from the results of immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting experiments, the improvement of pathological characteristics of AD mice in the combination treatment group is not obvious compared with the single bs-5-YHEDA iron chelating peptide group, suggesting that there may be a threshold effect of our designed dual-target combination treatment on the cognitive improvement of AD mice, and the optimization and validation of the effect of multi-target combination treatment need further study.
