Objective To understand mosquito density, species composition, and seasonal variations around the Beijing Capital International Airport(BCIA)and provide scientific evidence for mosquito-borne disease prevention and control. Methods Meteorological data were collected from 2016 to 2022, and mosquito density was monitored at seven surveillance sites around the BCIA from May to October each year using CO2-baited mosquito traps to analyze the relationship between mosquito density and meteorological factors. Results In total,68 518 female mosquitoes were captured, with a mosquito density of 10.20 per light · hour. The dominant species was Culex pipiens pallens(73.90%), followed by Aedes albopictus(9.71%)and Ae. vexans(9.29%);the mosquito density was highest in 2016(14.8 per light·hour)and lowest in 2022(4.46 per light·hour). Significant statistical differences were observed in mosquito density among different species(F=18.118, P<0.05). The density of Cx. pipiens pallens and other mosquito species showed a mutually exclusive trend; the peak of mosquito density varied based on years and habitats, with significant statistical differences in mosquito density among different habitats(F=8.504, P<0.05). The highest mosquito density was observed near the Wenyu River(21.50 per light·hour), whereas the lowest was recorded at the BCIA construction site(2.44 per light· hour). The monthly average temperature(r=0.595), monthly average highest temperature(r=0.575), and monthly average lowest temperature(r=0.624)showed moderate positive correlations, whereas the monthly average air pressure(r=-0.484)showed a moderate negative correlation. The monthly average minimum temperature was included in the regression model(F=25.575, P<0.000), and the equation Y=1.029X4-8.181 was used. The monthly average air pressure 2 months prior(b=-2.418, β=-1.619, P<0.05)and the monthly average relative humidity(b=-0.739, β=-1.201, P<0.05)significantly negatively predicted the mosquito density. Notably, the regression equation used was y=2526.170+(-2.418)X9+(-0.739)X13. The exposure-response analysis revealed that the density of mosquitoes was not linearly related to the average monthly air pressure, rainfall, and duration of sunshine. Conclusions The dominant mosquito species around the BCIA was Cx. pipiens pallens, Ae. albopictus, and Ae. vexans. During the control of Cx. pipiens pallens, the impact on other mosquito species must also be considered. Environmental management, breeding sites, and scientific use of pesticides should be prioritized based on the activity periods of mosquitoes. Further studies on mosquitoes and meteorological factors should be conducted to provide references and novel avenues for mosquito control.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy and learning curve for robot-assisted cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation performed by surgeons with different seniority in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:The clinical data of 91 lumbar degenerative disease patients underwent robot-assisted CBT screw fixation from August 2020 to December 2022 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 48 patients underwent surgery performed by the same senior surgeon (senior group), with a total of 234 CBT screws were placed; while 43 patients underwent surgery performed by the same junior surgeon (junior group), with a total of 206 CBT screws were placed. The surgical related indexes, functional improvement score, lower back pain and lower limb radiation pain scores, acceptable nail insertion rate, non invasion rate of facet joints and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between two groups. The functional improvement score was evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, the pain score was evaluated using visual analog score (VAS). The cumulative sum (CUSUM) method was used to depict the learning curve with "single screw placement time" as the observation index.Results:There were no statistical difference in incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay between two groups ( P>0.05). The least squares means of JOA scores 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery in both groups increased significantly compared to baseline, while the least squares means of lower back pain VAS and lower limb radiation pain VAS decreased significantly compared to baseline; there were no statistical differences between two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in acceptable nail insertion rate, non invasion rate of facet joints and incidence of postoperative complications between two group ( P>0.05). The CUSUM learning curves were fitting well and the inflection point for senior surgeon corresponded to 18 cases, while it was reached after performing surgery on 21 cases for junior surgeon. Conclusions:Robot-assisted CBT screw fixation performed by surgeons with different seniority could achieve similar clinical outcomes for treating lumbar degenerative disease. The senior surgeons are able to complete the initial learning stage faster than the junior surgeons, but there is not much difference in the number of surgeries performed the learning curve.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness and safety between robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and traditional fluoroscopy-assisted PKP in the treatment of dual-segment recurrent osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) including in situ vertebral fracture.Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with dual-segment recurrent OVCF including in situ vertebral fracture from January 2016 to January 2023 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with PKP. Among them, 14 patients were treated with robot-assisted surgery (robot-assisted group), and 19 patients were treated with fluoroscopy-assisted surgery (fluoroscopy-assisted group). The total surgical time, preparation time and number of fluoroscopy were recorded. The in situ and other fracture vertebral operation time, number of punctures, amount of bone cement injection, bone cement filling effect, bone cement leakage, pedicle wall breakthrough and other special intraoperative situations were separately recorded. The visual analogue score (VAS) before surgery and 1 d, 3 months after surgery was recorded.Results:The preparation time in robot-assisted group was significantly longer than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (30.8 ± 6.9) min vs. (19.1 ± 4.5) min, the number of fluoroscopy was significantly lower than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (17.1 ± 4.1) times vs. (41.0 ± 6.3) times, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 and <0.05); there were no statistical differences in total surgical time and VAS at any time point between the two groups ( P>0.05). For the in situ fracture segment, the operation time and number of punctures in robot-assisted group were significantly lower than those in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (15.4 ± 2.8) min vs. (22.0 ± 5.5) min and (1.1 ± 0.4) times vs. (2.4 ± 1.2) times, the amount of bone cement injection was significantly higher than those in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (2.36 ± 0.75) ml vs. (1.79 ± 0.69) ml, the filling effect of bone cement was significantly better than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 and <0.05); there were no statistical difference in bone cement leakage and pedicle wall breakthrough between the two groups ( P>0.05). For the other fracture segment, the operation time in robot-assisted group was significantly shorter than that in fluoroscopy-assisted group: (13.8 ± 3.8) min vs. (19.2 ± 6.4) min, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there were no statistical difference in number of punctures, amount of bone cement injection, filling effect of bone cement, bone cement leakage and pedicle wall breakthrough between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Robot-assisted PKP in the treatment of dual-segment OVCF including in situ vertebral fracture, could reduce operation time, minimize punctures and fluoroscopy numbers, and provide superior bone cement filling results.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

AIM To investigate the protective effect of Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills against house dust mite(HDM)-induced allergic asthma in mice.METHODS Compared to the intact BALB/c mice in the blank control group,the BALB/c mice randomly assigned into the model group,the dexamethasone group(0.67 mg/kg),and the low-dose,medium-dose,and high-dose Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills groups(15,30 and 60 mg/kg),were induced into acute allergic asthma models via weekly intraperitoneal sensitization with 0.1 mL HDM solution(0.5 mg/mL)for three weeks followed by three consecutive daily intranasal challenges with 10 μL HDM solution(2.5 mg/mL)starting in the third week.The drug administered continuously 7 days after the last excitation.The mice had their airway reactive Penh value detected,their pulmonary pathological changes observed by HE staining,their blood eosinophils(EOS)counted,their Th2 cytokines in lung tissue and serum IgE levels detected by ELISA,and their number of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)and pulmonary Th2 cells detected by flow cytometry.Chronic allergic asthma was induced in grouped BALB/c mice through repeated intranasal challenges with 10 μL HDM solution(2.5 mg/mL)administered five times weekly for five consecutive weeks.Drug treatment continued for 14 days following the final challenge.After the final treatment,the mice had their pulmonary pathological changes observed by HE staining,and their levels of Th2 cytokines in B ALF and lung tissue and serum IgE detected by ELISA.RESULTS Compared to the blank control group,the acute allergic asthma model group exhibited increases in Penh value,EOS count and IgE level in serum,IL-4 and IL-5 levels in lung tissue(P＜0.01);obvious pulmonary inflammatory cells infiltration,and thickened airway wall;and increase in pulmonary number of Th2 cells(P＜0.01).Compared to the model group,the groups intervened with Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills demonstrated decreased Penh value,serum EOS count,IgE level and IL-5 level in lung tissue(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);reduced pulmonary inflammatory infiltration and alleviated airway wall thickening;and decreased number of pulmonary Th2 cells.Compared to the blank group,the chronic allergic asthma model group showed obvious pulmonary inflammatory infiltration and airway wall thickening;and increased EOS count and IgE level in serum,IL-4 and IL-13 in lung tissue and IL-14 in BALF(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared to the model group,the groups intervened with either medium-dose or high-dose Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills demonstrated reduced pulmonary inflammatory infiltration;and decreased serum EOS count,IgE level,IL-13 in lung tissue and IL-14 in BALF(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills reduce Th2 cells in peripheral blood and lung tissue,suppress type 2 inflammation,and thereby alleviate allergic asthma.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 overlapping transcript 1(KCNQ1OT1)on oxidative glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)-induced microglia injury through regulating the miR-145-5p/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase 1(ROCK1)axis.Methods Microglia N9 were divided into the control group(normal culture),the OGD/R group(OGD/R-induced injury),the sh-NC group(transfected with sh-NC after OGD/R-induced injury),the sh-KCNQ1OT1 group(transfected with sh-KCNQ1OT1 after OGD/R-induced injury),the sh-KCNQ1OT1+inhibitor NC group(co-transfected with sh-KCNQ1OT1 and inhibitor NC after OGD/R-induced injury),and the sh-KCNQ1OT1+miR-145-5p inhibitor group(co-transfected with sh-KCNQ1OT1 and miR-145-5p inhibitor after OGD/R-induced injury).RT-qPCR was applied to detect the expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1,miR-145-5p,and ROCK1 mRNA in cells.The expression of ROCK1 protein was detected by Western blot.CCK-8 was applied to detect the cell proliferation.Flow cytometry was applied to detect cell apoptosis.ELISA was applied to detect the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukin-6(IL-6)in cells.The action sites of miR-145-5p with lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and ROCK1 were predicted by bioinformatics website,and their targeting relationships were verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay.Results Compared with the control group,the expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1,the expression of ROCK1 mRNA and protein,the apoptosis rate,and the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in cells were all increased,and the level of miR-145-5p and cell survival rate were all decreased in the OGD/R group(P<0.05).Compared with the OGD/R group and the sh-NC group,the expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1,the expression of ROCK1 mRNA and protein,the apoptosis rate,and the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in cells were all decreased,and the level of miR-145-5p and cell survival rate were all increased in the sh-KCNQ1OT1 group,with significant differences(P<0.05).Compared with the sh-KCNQ1OT1+inhibitor NC group,the expression of ROCK1 mRNA and protein,the apoptosis rate,and the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in cells were all increased,and the expression of miR-145-5p and cell survival rate were all decreased in the sh-KCNQ1OT1+miR-145-5p inhibitor group,with significant differences(P<0.05).Bioinformatics website showed that miR-145-5p had targeted action sites with lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and ROCK1,and dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-145-5p had targeting relationships with lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and ROCK1(P<0.05).Conclusion Silencing lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 can alleviate OGD/R-induced microglia injury via upregulating the expression of miR-145-5p and targeting the down-regulation of ROCK1 expression.

Objective:To explore the reliability of intraoperative fluoroscopy at lateral 10° and 30° Brodén views in addition to the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the lateral decubitus position to assess the quality of articular reduction in calcaneal fractures of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the 74 patients who had been treated at Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, The People’s Hospital of Linyi for unilateral closed calcaneal fractures of Sanders type Ⅱ or Ⅲ from January 2024, to August 2024. According to the different methods of intraoperative fluoroscopy, the patients were divided into a precision group and a conventional group. In the precision group of 39 cases, intraoperative fluoroscopy was conducted at lateral 10° and 30° Brodén views in the surgery for calcaneal fractures in addition to the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the lateral decubitus position; in the conventional group of 35 cases, intraoperative fluoroscopy was conducted only in the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the surgery for calcaneal fractures. All patients were treated by traction assisted by external fixation, minimally invasive prying reduction through the tarsal sinus incision, and three-dimensional framework internal fixation. The 2 groups were compared in terms of frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy; preoperative and postoperative B?hler angles, Gissane angles, and calcaneal varus angles; screw protrusions (more than 2 mm beyond the medial cortex) of the posterior articular surface screw, sustentaculum tali screw, and anterior tuberosity screw; skin irritation symptoms due to the main nail tail (protruding cortex > 1 mm); step-off of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm) and wide gap of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm).Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). Both groups showed significant postoperative improvements in X-ray B?hler angle, Gissane angle, and calcaneal varus angle compared with the preoperative values ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative X-ray B?hler angle, Gissane angle, or calcaneal varus angle between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy between the 2 groups either ( P>0.05). The precision group had significantly fewer cases of screw protrusion (more than 2 mm beyond the medial cortex) of the posterior articular surface screw, sustentaculum tali screw, and anterior tuberosity screw, skin irritation symptoms due to the main screw tail (protruding cortex>1 mm), step-off of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm), and wide gap of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm) on the postoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction compared with the conventional group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In surgery for calcaneal fractures of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ, intraoperative fluoroscopy at lateral 10° and 30° Brodén views in addition to the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the lateral decubitus position provides stable and reliable intraoperative monitoring of B?hler angle, Gissane angle, calcaneal varus angle, reduction of the posterior articular surface of the calcaneus and the positions and lengths of implants.
