Objective The study aimed to elucidate the population composition and seasonal distribution characteristics of mosquitoes in Laoshan District, Qingdao City, providing a scientific basis for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne infectious diseases. Methods Mosquito surveillance was conducted in Laoshan District in Qingdao City using light traps from April to November 2020-2022. Dominant mosquito species were identified using the Berger-Parker dominance index(I)and mosquito density was compared using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The seasonal distribution characteristics of adult mosquitoes were analyzed using concentration and circular distribution method. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to study the relationship between mosquito populations and meteorological factors with mean monthly temperature, mean monthly relative humidity, and mean monthly rainfall. Results The mean mosquito density for the trapping period was 9.771 females/(trap·night)in 2020,9.771 in 2021, and 9.427 in 2022. There was no statistically significant difference in mosquito density between different years(H = 0.095, P = 0.954). In total, 2 781 adult female mosquitoes comprising five species from four genera were captured over three years. Culex pipiens(I = 0.654), Aedes albopictus(I = 0.202), and Aedes aegypti(I = 0.118)were identified as dominant species. Seasonal fluctuations in the adult mosquitoes were unimodal, and primarily concentrated from June to September. The peak period of adult mosquito varied between years with statistical significance. (F = 3.838, P ＜ 0.05). Mosquito density was highly correlated with mean monthly temperature, mean monthly relative humidity and mean monthly precipitation(P＜ 0.05). Conclusions Cx. pipiens pallens, Ae. albopictus, and Ar. inamoratus are the dominant mosquito species in the Laoshan District of Qingdao City. The activity of adult mosquitoes is seasonal, and primarily concentrated in summer and autumn, during which the risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever is increased.

Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

Objective:To analyze the expression of conductance calcium-activated potassium channel(IKCa1)protein in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)tissues and its relationship with postoperative recovery of thyroid function.Methods:A total of 153 PTC patients who were treated from December 2020 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects.All patients were divided into a good recovery group(n=97)and a poor recovery group(n=56)according to whether they had hypothyroidism after surgery.The expression of IKCa1 protein in PTC tissues and adjacent normal tissues was compared.The relationship between the expression of IKCa1 protein in PTC tissues and the clinicopathologi-cal characteristics of the patients was analyzed.Hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship be-tween clinicopathological features and IKCa1 mRNA level.Univariate analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative thyroid function recovery.Spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between IKCa1 mRNA expression and thyroid function related factors[free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4),total triiodothyro-nine(TT3),total thyroxine(TT4)and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)].The independent correlation between IKCa1 mRNA expression in PTC tissues and postoperative thyroid dysfunction was analyzed.The dose on response between IKCa1 mRNA expression in PTC tissues and postoperative thyroid function was analyzed.And the relationship between IKCa1 protein expression in PTC tissues and prognosis of patients.Results:The high expression of IKCa1 protein in PTC tissues(102 cases,66.67％)was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues(33 cases,21.57％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The expression of IKCa1 protein in PTC tissues was related to tumor diameter,lymph node metastasis,TNM stage and Ki-67(P＜0.05).Tumor diameter,lymph node metastasis,TNM stage and Ki-67 had a significant positive effect on IKCa1 mRNA level(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in lymph node metastasis,tumor diameter and IKCa1 mRNA expression between the good recovery group and the poor recovery group(P＜0.05).The results of Spearman analysis showed that the expressions of FT3,FT4,TT3,TT4 and TSH had sig-nificant effects on IKCa1 mRNA expression(P＜0.05).The expression level of IKCa1 mRNA in PTC tissues was indepen-dently correlated with postoperative thyroid function(All P＜0.05).RCS model analysis showed that with the increase of IKCa1 mRNA expression,postoperative thyroid function showed a non-linear downward trend.The overall survival of pa-tients with high expression of IKCa1 protein in PTC tissues was significantly shorter than that of patients with low ex-pression of IKCa1 protein(P＜0.05).Conclusion:IKCa1 protein is highly expressed in PTC tissues,and its expression level is closely related to postoperative thyroid function,which is a risk factor for postoperative hypothyroidism.

Objective:To investigate the effect of platelet irradiation on the efficacy and safety of platelet transfusion in children with hematological disorders.Methods:The platelet transfusion of 56 pediatric patients in the Hematology Department of Wuhan Children's Hospital from January to December 2023 were retrospective analyzed.According to whether the platelets transfused by the patient have been irradiated,they are divided into irradiation group and non irradiation group.The effect of platelet irradiation on efficacy rate of transfusion and incidence of transfusion adverse reactions was analyzed.Results:Fifty-six patients with hematological disorders received 608 platelet transfusions,with 83 transfusions ineffective and an inefficiency rate of 13.65％.Twenty-nine times of adverse transfusion reactions occurred,with a transfusion reaction incidence rate of 4.77％.The 24-hour CCI value of the irradiation group was lower than that of the non irradiation group(Z=4.120,P＜0.01),and the effective rate of transfusion in the irradiation group was lower than that in the non irradiation group(x2=8.595,P＜0.01).The incidence of adverse reactions during transfusion in the irradiation group was lower than that in the non irradiation group(x2=4.153,P＜0.05).In children with acute leukemia,there were statistical differences in 24 h CCI,the effective rate of transfusion,and adverse transfusion reactions between the irradiation and non-irradiation groups.Conclusion:Platelet irradiation can reduce the effective rate of platelet transfusion in children with hematological disorders,but can reduce the incidence of adverse transfusion reactions.To ensure the safety of blood use for pediatric patients,it is recommended to transfuse irradiated platelets to individuals who are susceptible to transfusion associated graft-versus-host disease(TA-GVHD),especially children with acute leukemia.
