Objective To provide a scientific basis for vector prevention and control in port areas, vector monitoring has been conducted continuously to characterize the composition, density, and seasonal fluctuations of vectors across 21 port-areas of Shandong province from 2017 to 2023. Methods In accordance with the Regional Vector Monitoring Plan for Frontier Ports, vector surveillance of mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, rodents, and other disease vectors was performed. Data were analyzed to describe vector community composition and identify seasonal fluctuations. Results A total of 601 rodents belonging to 1 family, 4 genera, and 4 species were captured. Three dominant rodent species inhabit port areas. In addition, 88 104 mosquitoes were captured and classified into 3 subfamilies, 4 genera, and 12 species; 38 959 flies were trapped and classified into 8 families,31 genera, and 51 species, including 9 dominant fly species in port-areas; and 54 672 captured cockroaches were classified into 2 families,4 genera, and 4 species, with Blattella germanica as the dominant species. Conclusions Significant vector community changes(P＜0.005)have been identified after the epidemic. To improve the pertinence and efficacy of port health quarantine work, continuous and strong attention should be paid to vector compositions and population densities at Shandong ports.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity, differentiation, and population structure of Aedes albopictus across different geographical regions in Shandong Province, and to explore the relationship between genetic diversity and geographical distribution. Methods Between July and August 2024, ten Ae. albopictus populations were sampled from seven cities in Shandong Province. Genomic DNA was extracted from individual mosquitoes, and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COⅠ)gene was amplified using PCR and sequenced. The obtained sequences were verified using BLAST and analyzed with MAFFT, MEGA 11, DnaSP v6.12, Arlequin 3.5, PopART 1.7, STRUCTURE 2.3.4 and the R packages adegenet and vegan to assess genetic diversity and population structure. Results A total of 229 COⅠ sequences(662 bp) was obtained, revealing ten variable sites with no insertions or deletions. The overall base composition showed an AT bias of 67.7%. Haplotype analysis identified 11 haplotypes, with Hap2 being the dominant and most widely distributed haplotype across all populations. Neutrality tests showed significant population expansion only in the Rizhao population. Mantel testing result revealed that geographical distance does not significantly impede gene flow. Overall, genetic differentiation among populations was low, indicating frequent gene flow. When combined with additional samples from Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Hainan and Guangxi, STRUCTURE, UPGMA and DAPC analyses revealed two primary genetic clusters of Ae. albopictus. Conclusions Ae. albopictus populations in Shandong Province exhibit frequent gene flow, low genetic differentiation, and relatively low overall genetic diversity. However, the Rizhao population showed signs of recent expansion, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance and targeted control measures in this area.

BACKGROUND:Marine traditional Chinese medicine offers a potentially effective and less adverse treatment for osteoporosis.OBJECTIVE:To explore the pharmacological regulations and procedures of traditional Chinese medicine in treating osteoporosis through data mining and network pharmacology techniques.METHODS:Data mining and network pharmacology methods were used to study the medication pattern and mechanism of marine Chinese medicine patented prescriptions approved by China National Intellectual Property Administration for the treatment of osteoporosis,and special attention was paid to the core Chinese medicine constituents of these prescriptions.The core constituents of the compound drug group composed of oyster-Dipsacus asper-epimedium were comprehensively identified and analyzed by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)We collected 381 authorized compound patents for the treatment of osteoporosis from the database inception to April 1,2024.Among these,48 patent groups utilized marine traditional Chinese medicine.These prescriptions contained 183 Chinese herbal medicines,of which 13 marine traditional Chinese medicines were used 574 times in total,and the number of flavors used in a single patented formula ranged from 2 to 41.(2)Oyster was the most frequently used marine ingredient,while Dipsacus asper,epimedium,Rehmannia glutinosa,Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.were the most frequent non-marine components.Association rule analysis identified oyster,Dipsacus asper,and epimedium as the core drug group.Network pharmacology analysis revealed that the core targets of this group for the treatment of osteoporosis included ALB,AKT1,TP53,PPARG,and SRC.Sitosterol,liquiritigenin,japonine,luteolin,and kaempferol were identified as the core components within the marine traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.(3)The GO and KEGFG enrichment analyses suggested a potential association between the mechanism of the core drug group and the rap1/mapk signaling pathway in the treatment of osteoporosis.(4)The molecular docking verified the beneficial interactions between core components and core targets.(5)The ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis of the compound medicine confirmed the presence of luteolin,sitosterol,kaempferol,and other components,aligning with the drug components identified by network pharmacology.Quantitative analysis indicated that flavonoids,terpenes,and alkaloids constituted a significant proportion of the compound medicine's components.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of replacing feed protein by Herme-tia illucens larvae meal on immune function,intestinal morphology and microflora of Sichuan white geese.A total of 64 healthy 1-day-old Sichuan white geese were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 4 replicates in each group and 4 geese in each replicate,namely the control group,the 2％HILM,4％HILM and 8％HILM groups fed diets contained 0％,2％,4％and 8％of HILM,re-spectively.The experimental period was 40 days.The results showed that compared with the con-trol group,8％HILM increased the levels of serum IgG1,IgG2a and complement C3,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).4％HILM significantly increased the expression level of CD4(P＜0.05),and 8％HILM significantly increased the expression level of IL-10(P＜0.05).The ratio of villus length to crypt depth(VH/CD)in the jejunum and ileum in 4％HILM group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The SIgA level of jejunum was significantly increased in all HILM replacement groups(P＞0.05).The abundance of Bacteroides in 4％HILM group were extremely significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the abundance of Bilophila and Bilophila wadsworthia were significantly decreased in all HILM replacement groups(P＜0.05).In conclu-sion,HILM can enhance the immune function of Sichuan white geese,improve the intestinal mor-phology of jejunum and ileum,enhance the local mucosal immunity of jejunum,increase the abun-dance of beneficial bacteria in cecum and decrease the abundance of harmful bacteria in cecum,and protect intestinal health.

Danggui Buxue decoction(DBD)is a classic prescription with immunomodulatory and hematopoietic effects.Previous studies have shown the DBD has potential to be used as an oral im-mune booster.However,its immunomodulatory effects and mechanism of action have not been thoroughly studied,especially the protective mechanism of immunomodulatory regulation in the state of immunosuppressive is still unclear.The aim of this study was to explore the protective mechanism of DBD in the immunosuppressive state using network pharmacology combined with animal experiments verification.The active components,core targets and signaling pathways of DBD in treating immunosuppression were obtained using network pharmacology tools.On this ba-sis,the active components of DBD were identified using HPLC-MS,and in vivo studies were con-ducted at the same time.The key active components of DBD obtained using network pharmacology included quercetin,kaempferol and formononetin.The core targets included TP53,RELA,TNF,AKT1,and IL-6.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(AKT)may play an important role in the treatment of immunosuppres-sive diseases using DBD.Molecular docking confirmed that each core target had good binding activ-ity with its corresponding compounds.Animal experiments showed that after DBD intervention,the mRNA gene and protein expression of RELA,TNF,and IL-6 in the serum was significantly down-regulated.The mRNA expression of PI3K and AKT in the ileum and PI3K protein expression were also downregulated.In conclusion,DBD exerts its role in treating immunosuppressive diseases by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Objective::To examine the impact of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) on offspring metabolomics.Methods::We searched five databases: PubMed, Ovid Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and included studies that reported metabolomics among human offspring born to HDP-complicated pregnancies.Results::Database search yielded 4054 articles, and after full-text screening, ten observational studies met inclusion criteria. Half of the studies had a sample size of less than 100 and were all observational studies in preeclampsia (PE) and gestational hypertension.Neonates were the most focused group in all included studies. Offspring born to HDP-complicated pregnancies exhibited statistically significant variations in blood metabolomics compared to their counterparts, characterized by amino acids, lipids, carnitine, and others (e.g., 1α,25-(OH) 2-D). Most studies reported a significant increase in differential metabolites of offspring born to HDP-complicated pregnancies. Four studies ( n = 1109) measured lipids-related metabolites, and all consistently showed that offspring born to PE-complicated pregnancies had significantly higher concentrations than non-PE exposed offspring. Conclusion::The existing evidence suggests an intergenerational effect of HDP on offspring metabolomics. Long-term follow-up studies are needed to advance the health effects of related adverse health outcomes and inform the prevention of offspring’s health.

Objective To construct a prognostic model of centrosome amplification-related genes(CARGs)by machine learning and evaluate its prediction performance for the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods CARGs were obtained from Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)datasets.The RNA-sequencing(RNA-seq)transcriptome datasets of ESCC were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO),and assigned into training and validation sets,respectively.Subsequently,single-sample gene set enrichment analysis(ssGSEA)and weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)were employed to screen CARGs.A prognostic model of CARGs was constructed by incorporating 12 machine learning algorithms,and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were applied to evaluate whether the 12 models as an independent prognostic factor or not.Eventually,15 paired ESCC and adjacent non-tumor tissue samples were collected from the Department of Gastroenterology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University,and real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and immunohistochemistry staining were performed to detect the expression of these genes ESCC samples.Results Our 9-CARGs prediction model for ESCC prognosis was constructed.RT-qPCR confirmed that the mRNA expression levels of DENR,TRIP13,BRCA2,TTF2,TCFL5 and NUP188 were significantly higher in ESCC tissues than normal tissues(P<0.05),and the protein levels of DENR,TRIP13,TTF2 and TCFL5 were also elevated when compared to normal tissues.Conclusion DENR,TRIP13,TTF2 and TCFL5 are highly expressed and closely associated with poor prognosis of ESCC,suggesting their potential roles in the pathogenesis and progression of this malignancy.
