Objective This study reports on the obligatory parasitism of water mites Arrenurus sp. on Anopheles messeae at the Manzhouli Port, Inner Mongolia, China. Methods Duing July 2024, a survey on the mosquito diversity was conducted at the Manzhouli Port. Captured mosquitoes and their ectoparasites were identified to species level. Results A total of 1840 adult mosquitoes were collected, representing species from three genera: Culex(Cx. modestus, Cx. pipiens pallens), Aedes(Ae. dorsalis, Ae. flavidorsalis, Ae. flavescens), and Anopheles (An. messeae). Among all the mosqutioes specimens,3 out of 150 captured An. messeae were found to carry ectoparasitic mites, with number of 2,4,27 mites separately. Morphological and molecular identification reached the same result as water mites(Hydrachnidiae, Hydracrina). COI gene sequence showed 94% similarity with the closest species Arrenurus truncatellus. Conlusions Literature review suggests water mites are host-specific parasitism of mosquito species and herein with the first record of Arrenurus sp. parasiting on An. Messeae in the most high-latitude region globally.

Intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP),as the most commonly used percutaneous mechanical circulatory assist device,is routinely implanted through the femoral artery pathway.However,when implantation through the femoral artery pathway is difficult or contraindicated,other pathways including the brachial artery pathway,axillary artery pathway,etc.can be considered.IABP assisted interventional treatment for complex high-risk and indicated patients(CHIP)can reduce the risk of intraoperative complications,stabilize hemodynamics,increase the complete revascularization rate of CHIP,and improve long-term prognosis.The reverse guidewire technique can improve the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for chronic total occlusion(CTO)of coronary arteries.In clinical practice,the reverse pathway is often chosen in addition to the forward pathway,such as the contralateral radial and brachial artery pathway,femoral artery pathway,etc.This article reports a case of bilateral femoral artery occlusion,in which IABP was implanted through the left brachial artery pathway,and then with the assistance of IABP,the right coronary artery CTO lesion was successfully opened through the right radial artery in the forward direction and the right brachial artery in the reverse direction,with the aim of providing reference for clinical PCI treatment for such special cases.

Objectives:To explore the feasibility of zero-ray radiofrequency catheter ablation for paroxymal atrial fibrillation under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography combined with three-dimensional mapping system.Methods:This is a single-center prospective observational study.A total of 12 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation in Fuwai Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 1,2024 to September 30,2024 were included.All patients underwent successful percutaneous puncture,atrial septal puncture under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography,and all patients underwent left atrial modeling and discharge ablation under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography combined with three-dimensional mapping system.The disappearance of pulmonary vein potential was confirmed after the ablation operation and as the ablation endpoint and successful ablation marker.The operation results and 1-month and 3-month follow-up results of the patients were observed.Results:There were 12 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation,9 males and 3 females,aged(56.8±11.2)years,with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(4.2±2.3)years.The mean left atrial diameter was(36.5±2.5)mm,the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was(47.8±4.1)mm,and the left ventricular ejection fraction was 55%-65%.The mean overall operation time was(102.25±14.51)min,the ultrasound operation time was(29.58±6.23)min,and the catheter operation time was(33.08±4.10)min.All patients completed circumferential pulmonary vein isolation without intraoperative complications.The hospitalization time was 2-6 days.At the 1-month follow-up after ablation,all patients showed sinus rhythm on 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram,and 2 patients had occasional atrial premature contractions without recurrence of atrial fibrillation.At the 3-month follow-up,two patients had occasional premature atrial contractions,and no recurrence of atrial fibrillation was recorded on the electrocardiogram of all patients.Conclusions:It is feasible to complete radiofrequency catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography combined with three-dimensional mapping system.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To construct machine learning models to predict the incidence of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia(LIT).Methods A total of 198 patients treated with linezolid in a hospital between January 2020 and March 2024 were retrospectively included.Firstly,the patients were divided into LIT and non-LIT groups,and the basic characteristics of the two groups were compared.Then,the variables with significant differences between the two groups were selected as potential risk factors to construct models for predicting LIT,including Logistic regression,decision tree and random forest models,and the prediction performance of the models was evaluated and compared.Results There were 52(26.3％)patients developed LIT during the treatment.The univariate analysis showed significant differences in linezolid trough concentration(Cmin),baseline platelet counts and creatinine clearance,the incidence of cerebrovascular disease,acute respiratory distress syndrome,and abdominal infection in patients with and without LIT.Among the three models built based on these variables,the random forest model has the best predictive performance.The results of variable importance analysis based on random forest model showed that Cmin,baseline platelet count and combined with acute respiratory distress syndrome had higher importance scores.Conclusions The random forest model has high accuracy in predicting the occurrence of LIT,and the risk of LIT is higher in patients with higher levels of linezolid exposure and lower baseline platelets.

Background:Ideal bowel preparation is the prerequisite for the successful diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy.The retention of intestinal bubbles can seriously affect the clarity of the intestinal mucosa and subsequently decrease the detection rate of colonoscopy.Aims:To investigate the application value of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage in bowel preparation for colonoscopy.Methods:This study was a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial.Patients who underwent colonoscopy from October 2020 to October 2023 at Hainan West Central Hospital were enrolled and randomly allocated into the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group and the control group.3 L polyethylene glycol(PEG)+dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage and 3 L PEG+placebo were given for bowel preparation,respectively.The quality of bowel preparation was evaluated by Boston bowel preparation scale(BBPS)score and bubble score.Furthermore,a questionnaire was conducted.The cecal intubation time,withdrawal time,adenoma detection rate and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 482 patients who underwent colonoscopy were included.No significant differences in clinical characteristics such as gender,age,body mass index(BMI)and main reasons for colonoscopy were found between the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group and the control group(all P>0.05).Compared with the control group,no significant differences existed in total BBPS score and segment scores for right,transverse,and left colon in the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group(all P>0.05),but the total bubble score and segment scores for right,transverse,and left colon were significantly decreased(all P<0.001).The withdrawal time in the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group was significantly decreased compared to the control group(P<0.001),and the adenoma detection rate was significantly increased(P=0.001).However,no significant differences in cecal intubation time and incidence of adverse reaction were found between the two groups(all P>0.05).Conclusions:Administration of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage during bowel preparation for colonoscopy can reduce the formation of intestinal bubbles,shorten the withdrawal time and increase the adenoma detection rate.

Objective:To construct an integrated management model for early screening and diagnosis of PCa based on the In-novative Care for Chronic Conditions Framework(ICCC)and the 1+1 contract-based tiered diagnosis and treatment system(TDTS)in China.Methods:Based on the 1+1 contract-based TDTS platform,we conducted PCa screening for the male residents aged 60 years and above during health check-ups in Pujin Community Health Center from January 1,2023 to December 31,2023.For those with abnormal total prostate-specific antigen(tPSA)≥4 μg/L,we promptly referred them to higher-level hospitals for further diagno-sis and treatment via the two-way referral green channel platform and information sharing service using the 1+1 contract model.We further analyzed the relevant data on screening and diagnosis.Results:A total of 4 080 males aged 71.39±5.059 years received PCa screening from January to December 2023.PSA screening was performed in 43.96％of the male residents,revealing 654 cases of PSA abnormality,with a PSA positivity rate of 16.03％,which was higher than that found in the previous large-scale PCa screenings in other regions of China.Among the males with PSA abnormality,292(44.65％)expressed their willingness for medical referral,while the others did not seek further medical attention for reasons of being asymptomatic,low awareness of the disease,no accompany for medical visits,and concerns about further costs of diagnosis and treatment.Prostate biopsy was recommended to 154 cases after further examinations,which was accepted by 92(59.74％).Fifty-eight cases were diagnosed with Pa,and thedetection rate reached 63.04％.Conclusion:The integrated management model for PSA examination-based early screening and diagnosis of PCa using the 1+1 contract-based TDTS platform is plays a significant role in enhancing peoples awareness and knowledge of PCa and improving the early detection rate of the malignancy.
