Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the regulatory effects of microcapsules with different matrix stiffness on the survival, proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), to further explore the relationship between matrix stiffness and MSCs osteogenic behavior, and to evaluate the in vivo histological responses and osteogenic-related protein expression of the microcapsules using an animal subcutaneous implantation model. MethodsIn this study, three-dimensional carbon nanofiber (CNF)/sodium alginate (SA) microcapsules with different matrix stiffness were constructed. By adjusting the CNF content, three groups of microcapsules with stiffness values of 27.05, 35.90, and 52.40 kPa were prepared, and their physicochemical properties, including morphology, mechanical properties, particle size, chemical structure, and degradation properties, were characterized. The effects of these microcapsules with different stiffness on the survival, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs were evaluated. Live/dead staining was used to observe cell survival and distribution in the microcapsules, while alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the expression of osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN) were examined to assess osteogenic differentiation. Immunofluorescence staining was further performed to observe the expression of Yes-associated protein (YAP) and integrin β1 under different stiffness conditions. In addition, a rat subcutaneous implantation model was used to evaluate the in vivo tissue compatibility of the microcapsules. Histological staining and immunohistochemical analysis were carried out to examine local tissue responses and the expression of osteogenic-related proteins. ResultsThe results showed that all three groups of microcapsules exhibited regular and uniform morphology and similar particle size, and all groups showed good degradability. Except for the differences in mechanical properties, no obvious differences were found in the other physicochemical properties among the three groups. Live/dead staining indicated that all groups of microcapsules had good cytocompatibility. MSCs in the low-stiffness group were mostly round, whereas cells in the medium- and high-stiffness groups showed more obvious spreading. Higher matrix stiffness was more favorable for MSC adhesion, growth, and survival. ALP staining and quantitative analysis showed that ALP activity increased significantly with increasing matrix stiffness. The expression of the osteogenic-related proteins OPN and OCN also increased with increasing stiffness, and the high-stiffness group showed the strongest positive signals. Immunofluorescence results further indicated that YAP and integrin β1 fluorescence signals tended to increase in MSCs with increasing matrix stiffness, suggesting that matrix stiffness may influence MSC osteogenic differentiation through stiffness-related cell adhesion and mechanotransduction. In vivo experiments showed that all three groups of microcapsules exhibited good histocompatibility after subcutaneous implantation, although different degrees of degradation and local tissue response were observed. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the expression levels of OPN and OCN increased with increasing matrix stiffness, and the high-stiffness group exhibited higher expression of these osteogenic-related proteins. ConclusionCNF endows SA microcapsules with tunable matrix stiffness. While maintaining good biocompatibility, the high-stiffness microenvironment can effectively promote the adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, accompanied by increased ALP activity and enhanced OPN and OCN expression. The increased YAP and integrin β1 fluorescence signals in the high-stiffness group further indicate that matrix stiffness is closely related to cellular mechanical responses. These findings provide a three-dimensional cell carrier with potential application value for MSC delivery and bone tissue regeneration based on mechanical microenvironment regulation.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, histopathological morphology, and differential diagnosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers.Methods:From 2020 to 2021, 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers diagnosed in Fujian Cancer Hospital (2 cases) and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (2 cases) were collected. Different ancillary procedures such as HE, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization techniques were used to assess the histopathological features and immunophenotypes. The clinical data were collected and literature was reviewed.Results:All 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers were male. They were 32, 45, 67 and 39 years old, respectively. The main clinical manifestations were bloody phlegm, abdominal pain, fatigue and anorexia. The clinical stages at diagnosis were stage Ⅳ (3 cases) and stage Ⅱ (1 case). Cases 2 and 3 had two pathological examinations at different sites, with a total of six pathological examinations. The histomorphology showed singly scattered or nests of tumor cells in a background of abundant small lymphocytes. The tumor cells were enlarged and pleomorphic, some appeared polygonal with inconspicuous cell borders, and they were arranged in a syncytial pattern. There were megakaryocytes, multinucleated tumor cells, and a few spindle-shaped cells seen. Atypical mitosis was commonly noted. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for CKpan(5/6), CK8/18(4/4), CAM5.2(2/5), CK-H(0/4), CK-L(3/4), EMA(4/5), CK5/6(3/6), p63(1/6), p40(1/6), E-cadherin (4/6), SSTR2(6/6), PD-L1(5/5), LCA(0/6), vimentin(5/6), CD2 (6/6), CD23(6/6), CD35(5/6), CXCL-13(4/5) and D2-40(1/5). The Ki-67 proliferative index was 60%-95%. In situ hybridization for EBER were all positive (6/6). Special stain for reticulin showed positive staining surrounding nests of tumor cells.Conclusions:The expression of follicular dendritic cell markers in lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is very rare, which may be related to EBV infection. Occasionally, it can overlap with follicular dendritic cell sarcoma by morphology and immunophenotype, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Only by combining clinical information, morphological characteristics and immunophenotype can an appropriate diagnosis be made.

Objective:To investigate the management options for loop plate cutting of the tibial cortex during reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by the all-inside technique.Methods:From January 2022 to December 2024, a total of 13 patients with ACL injury who underwent all-inside reconstruction with tibial lateral loop plate cutting of the cortex and immediate revision for ACL injuries at Department of Sports Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China were retrospectively analyzed (cut group). There were 5 males and 8 females with an average age of 28.7±9.1 years (range, 17-39 years). During the revision, a transverse tunnel was drilled at the distal end of the tibial tunnel, and the loop plate was fixed to the lateral tibial cortex through the transverse tunnel. Matched by gender, age, and side, the patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with all-inside loop steel without cutting the tibial cortex during the same period (the uncut group) were selected as the control group at a ratio of 1∶2, including 10 males and 16 females, aged 29.1±9.3 years (range, 17-39 years). The visual analogue scale (VAS), Tegner score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm score for knee pain before and after surgery were compared between the two groups, and bone tunnel enlargement was assessed using the Peyrache grading scale.Results:All patients were successfully operated and followed up for 13.1±2.5 months and 13.3±2.6 months, respectively. The Lysholm scores of the cutting group before surgery, 6 months after surgery, and 1 year after surgery were 35.44±15.69, 75.21±16.77, and 93.47±18.56 respectively, while those of the uncut group were 37.81±17.33, 71.45±15.82, and 91.05±19.54. The Lysholm scores of both groups 6 months and 1 year after surgery were higher than those before surgery, and the Lysholm scores 1 year after surgery were higher than those 6 months after surgery, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the Lysholm scores between the two groups before and after surgery ( P>0.05). The IKDC scores of the cutting group before surgery, 6 months after surgery, and 1 year after surgery were 39.12±14.28, 69.52±15.36, and 84.24±17.91 respectively, while those of the uncut group were 37.46±11.55, 72.81±17.73, and 87.62±18.52. The IKDC scores of both groups 6 months and 1 year after surgery were higher than those before surgery, and the IKDC scores 1 year after surgery were higher than those 6 months after surgery, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the IKDC scores between the two groups before and after surgery ( P>0.05). The Tegner scores of the cutting group before surgery, 6 months after surgery, and 1 year after surgery were 1.61±1.11, 3.59±1.66, and 5.59±1.79 respectively, while those of the non-cutting group were 1.57±1.05, 3.47±1.51, and 5.41±1.63. The Tegner scores of both groups 6 months and 1 year after surgery were higher than those before surgery, and the Tegner scores 1 year after surgery were higher than those 6 months after surgery, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the Tegner scores between the two groups before and after surgery ( P>0.05). According to Peyrache's grading criteria, 7 cases in the cutting group had femoral side bone tunnel enlargement and 8 cases had tibial side bone tunnel enlargement; 12 cases in the non-cutting group had femoral side bone tunnel enlargement and 15 cases had tibial side bone tunnel enlargement, with no statistically significant differences (χ 2=0.205, P=0.650; χ 2=0.053, P=0.818). At the last follow-up, there were 2 cases of Lachman grade I in the cutting group and 3 cases in the non-cutting group, 1 case of joint stiffness in the cutting group and 2 cases in the non-cutting group. None of the patients in the two groups had vascular nerve injury, deep vein thrombosis, or intra-articular infection. Conclusion:The method of drilling a transverse tunnel at the distal end of the outer opening of the tibial tunnel and fixing the loop plate to the lateral tibial cortex through the transverse tunnel, along with cutting the tibial cortex, can improve the knee joint function.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of lumbar lateral interbody fusion (LLIF) versus posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in the treatment of severe lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods:The data of patients with severe lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent LLIF or PLIF from February 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 30 patients in the LLIF group, 10 males and 20 females, aged 62.7±5.6 years (range, 53-74 years), including 21 cases of single segment and 9 cases of double segment. There were 46 patients in the PLIF group, including 20 males and 26 females, aged 63.2±8.4 years (range, 43-75 years), 40 cases of single segment and 6 cases of double segment. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), intervertebral space height, intervertebral foramen height and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:All patients were followed up for an average of 21.3±6.4 months (range, 12-32 months). The intraoperative blood loss in the LLIF group was 112.2±76.9 ml, which was significantly lower than 193.9±88.2 ml in the PLIF group ( P<0.05). The VAS scores of back pain and leg pain after operation were significantly lower than those before operation in the two groups ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between groups in back pain VAS scores at preoperative, 6 months postoperative, and final follow-up ( P>0.05); the back pain VAS score at 1 month postoperatively in the LLIF group was 1.6±1.2, which was less than 2.8±0.7 in the PLIF group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between groups in leg pain VAS scores at preoperative, 1 month postoperative, and 6 months postoperative ( P>0.05); the leg pain VAS score at the final follow-up in the LLIF group was 1.2±1.5, which was smaller than 1.8±1.0 in the PLIF group ( P<0.05). The postoperative ODI was smaller than the preoperative one in both groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); the preoperative, 1-month postoperative, 6-month postoperative, and final follow-up ODIs in the LLIF group were 45.7%±16.0%, 17.9%±12.0%, 16.2%±11.6%, and 15.7%±11.7%, and those in the PLIF group were 47.9%±15.4%, 20.1%±9.3%, 16.9%±10.6%, and 14.6%±11.0% in the PLIF group, and the difference between the groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The preoperative intervertebral space height in the LLIF group was 10.6±2.0 mm, which was smaller than that in the PLIF group 11.8±2.2 mm ( P<0.05). The intervertebral space heights in the immediate postoperative period and at the final follow-up were 13.3±2.3 mm and 12.3±2.2 mm in the LLIF group and 13.7±1.7 mm and 13.0±1.9 mm in the PLIF group ( P>0.05). The preoperative intervertebral foraminal height in the LLIF group was 18.0±3.2 mm, which was smaller than that of 19.7±2.4 mm in the PLIF group ( P<0.05); the intervertebral foraminal heights in the immediate postoperative period and at the final follow-up were 21.4±2.5 mm and 20.2±2.4 mm in the LLIF group, and in the PLIF group were 20.7±2.4 mm and 19.7±2.6 mm in the PLIF group ( P>0.05). In the LLIF group, 2 cases had femoral nerve injury and 2 cases had transient back pain after operation. There were 2 cases of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, 1 case of screw loosening, and 2 cases of deep vein thrombosis in the PLIF group. In the PLIF group, 2 patients underwent revision, including 1 case due to cage displacement and 1 case due to screw malposition. The fusion settling rate was 21% (8/39) in the LLIF group and 12% (6/52) in the PLIF group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both LLIF and PLIF can effectively restore the intervertebral height, improve the lumbar function and the symptoms of back and leg pain in the treatment of severe lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence trends and epidemiological characteristics of cardiometabolic multimorbidity(CMM) in Beijing from 2005 to 2022.Methods:A series of representative cross-sectional surveys were conducted in Beijing between 2005 and 2022 using a stratified multistage cluster random sampling method. A total of 110 496 permanent residents aged 18-79 years participated in face-to-face interviews, physical examinations, and laboratory testing. Complex sampling logistic regression models were employed to identify factors associated with CMM, and Joinpoint regression was used to assess temporal trends in prevalence. Results:The prevalence of CMM was 22.3% in 2005 and 24.3% in 2022, with an average annual percent change of 0.1%(95% CI -1.3%-1.3%, P>0.05). In rural areas, the prevalence increased by 1.3% per year(95% CI 0.2%-2.6%, P<0.05), while among obese individuals, it decreased by 1.0% annually( P<0.05). The most common CMM patterns were hypertension combined with dyslipidemia(13.2%), hypertension combined with diabetes(7.0%), and diabetes combined with dyslipidemia(5.8%). The prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia comorbidity showed a long-term decline among females, those aged 60-79 and obese individuals( P<0.05). In contrast, the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes comorbidity increased over time in rural residents and individuals with normal body weight( P<0.05). Furthermore, diabetes and dyslipidemia comorbidity rates increased significantly among males, adults aged 18-59 years, those with a college education or above, rural residents and individuals with normal body weight( P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression indicated that male, older age, overweight, obese, and lower education level were independently associated with a higher risk of CMM( P<0.05). Conclusion:From 2005 to 2022, the prevalence of CMM remained high among adults in Beijing. While prevalence decreased among obese individuals, it increased significantly in rural areas. Hypertension combined with dyslipidemia was the most common multimorbidity pattern throughout the study period.

Objective:To understand the management of children with pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 101 children with PALF hospitalized in PICU of Beijing Children′s Hospital from July 2017 to October 2022 were included. Demographic, clinical management and prognosis data were collected. According to whether PALF was the main diagnosis, the patients were divided into primary diagnosis group and complication group. The primary diagnosis group was subdivided into effective group and ineffective group with routine treatment (except liver transplantation). The intergroup comparisons were performed using independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher exact test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors associated with prognosis. Results:Among the 101 children with PALF, 58 were male and 43 were female, with an age of 30 (10, 103) months, 60 cases in primary diagnosis group and 41 cases in complication group. There were no significant differences in prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR) between the two groups (both P>0.05), while the total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and blood ammonia were all significantly higher in the primary diagnosis group (all P<0.05). Unoriginal liver failure (25 cases (42%)) and poisoning (13 cases (22%)) were the most common causes of PALF in the primary diagnosis group, while shock (17 cases, 43%) and hemophagocytic syndrome (14 cases (34%)) in the complication group. The mortality rate of the main diagnosis group was significantly lower than that of the complication group (25% (15/60) vs. 61% (25/41), χ2=13.18, P<0.001), as well as the incidence of combined organ function injury, while the amount of plasma used and the ratio of plasma exchange times to PICU hospitalization days were significantly higher (all P<0.05). In the primary diagnosis group, there were 32 cases (53%) in the effective group and 28 cases (47%) in the ineffective group. In the ineffective group, 15 cases (54%) died and 13 cases (46%) were transferred to another site for liver transplantation assessment. The hospitalization time of PICU in the effective group was significantly longer than that in the ineffective group, while the ratio of plasma exchange times to PICU hospitalization days, the average daily hours of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), the rate of CRRT and the average daily plasma dosage in the effective group were all significantly lower than those in the ineffective group (all P<0.05). The worst PT, INR and blood ammonia, and the stage 4 hepatic encephalopathy morbidity and significant bleeding rate in the effective group were all significantly lower than those in the ineffective group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, sex, total bilirubin, INR and blood ammonia, stage 4 hepatic encephalopathy was the independent risk factor for the failure of routine treatment of PALF ( OR=84.16,95% CI 4.04-1752.37, P=0.004). Conclusions:PT and INR could not specifically represent liver synthetic function in some PICU patients, so current PALF diagnostic criteria for PICU children has limitations. Complicated with stage 4 hepatic encephalopathy was an independent risk factor of the failure of conventional treatment in patients with PALF.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant staphylokinase in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)by a multi-center,randomized,position-controlled,parallel post-marketing clinical trial.Methods This study was a multi-center,randomized,positive drug parallel control,non-inferiority clinical trial.From July 2019 to June 2022,a total of 251 patients with STEMI were enrolled in 31 hospitals.Patients were randomly assigned to receive intravenous staphylokinase or alteplase in a ratio of 1∶1.Vascular recanalization was evaluated by clinical indicators 30 minutes,60 minutes and 120 minutes after the initiation of thrombolysis.Coronary angiography was performed 90 to 120 minutes after the initiation of thrombolysis.The proportion of infarct-related artery(IRA)with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI)grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ,corrected TIMI frame count(CTFC)and TIMI myocardial perfusion grade(TMPG)were analyzed Major adverse cardiac events(MACE,including all-cause death,rehospitalization,reinfarction,urgent target vessel revascularization)and bleeding events were followed up at 30 days(±2 days)after thrombolysis.Results After excluding 7 subjects who did not use thrombolytic drugs,244 subjects were finally eligibled from 31 hospitals(117 in trial group and 127 in control group),and 232 subjects completed the follow-up(111 in trial group and 121 in control group).The vascular recanalization rate evaluated by clinical indicators at 120 minutes after thrombolysis was 85.6% in trial group and 83.5% in control group(P=0.657).The difference between the two groups was 2.11(95%CI-7.19-11.41).Given that the lower confidence limit of the 95%CI was greater than-12%,the non-inferiority of the vascular recanalization rate was established based on clinical judgment.Coronary angiography showed that the total patency rate of IRA(TIMIⅡ-Ⅲ)was 77.5% in trial group and 77.7% in control group(P=0.970).The difference between the two groups was-0.21(95%CI-10.95-10.54),with the lower bound of the 95%CI exceeding-12%.Therefore,the non-inferiority of the TIMI blood flow grade was confirmed,indicating that the total patency rate of IRA in the trial group was not inferior to that in the control group.The CTFC was(32.7±17.6)frames in trial group and(37.6±16.6)frames in control group,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.054).The difference between the two groups was-4.9(95%CI-10.0-0.1).As the lower limit of the 95%CI exceeded-12%,the noninferiority of CTFC was successfully demonstrated.The proportions of TMPG 0-Ⅲ were 20.7%,6.3%,2.7%and 69.4%in trial group,and 22.3%,4.1%,6.6% and 66.9% in control group,respectively.There was no significant difference in TIMI myocardial perfusion grade between the two groups(P=0.086).The incidence of MACE was 7.7% in trial group and 7.1% in control group within 30 days after the initiation of thrombolysis,and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P=0.857).Further analysis showed that there was no significant difference in cardiovascular mortality(3.4% vs.4.7%,P=0.751).All 244 subjects were included in the safety analysis set.There was no significant difference in the total incidence of bleeding events between the two groups(22.2% vs.15.0%,P=0.144).There was no significant difference in the incidence of major bleeding(1.7% vs.0.8%,P=0.609).Conclusions Recombinant staphylokinase is simple to use and has a rapid onset of action.The efficacy and safety of recombinant staphylokinase are not inferior to alteplase in the treatment of acute STEMI.
