ObjectiveTo observe the changes in the levels of different subtypes of epidermal growth factor receptor （ErbB）， namely ErbB1， ErbB2， ErbB3， and ErbB4， in the spinal dorsal horn of inflammatory pain model rats， and to explore their mechanism of mediating hyperalgesia as well as the intervention mechanism of electroacupuncture at "Zusanli （ST 36）" and "Kunlun （BL 60）". MethodsThe study was divided into five parts. In experiment 1， 14 Sprague Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into control and inflammatory pain group （7 rats each group） to observe the pain behavior and the protein expression of different ErbB receptor subtypes in the spinal dorsal horn. In experiment 2， 30 rats were randomly divided into control group 1， inflammatory pain group 1， and low-， medium-， and high-concentration TX1-85-1 groups， with 6 rats in each group， to observe the effect of inhibiting spinal ErbB3 on inflammatory pain. In experiment 3， 12 rats were randomly divided into control virus group and ErbB3 knockdown virus group， with 6 rats in each group， to observe the effect of knocking down ErbB3 in the spinal dorsal horn on inflammatory pain. In experiment 4， 44 rats were randomly divided into control group 2， inflammatory pain group 2， electroacupuncture group， and sham electroacupuncture group， with 11 rats in each group， to observe the effect of electroacupuncture. In experiment 5， 40 rats were randomly divided into control group 3， inflammatory pain group 3， electroacupuncture group 1， and electroacupuncture + NRG1 group， with 10 rats in each group， to observe the effect of activating ErbB3 on electroacupuncture. A rat model of inflammatory pain was established by subcutaneous injection of 100 μl of complete Freund's adjuvant into the sole of the unilateral hind foot of SD rats. Rats in the low-， medium-， and high-concentration TX1-85-1 groups were intrathecally injected with ErbB3 inhibitor TX1-85-1 on day 5 to day 7 after modeling. Rats in the ErbB3 knockdown virus group were injected with ErbB3 knockdown virus packaged with adenovirus vector-based short hairpin RNA （shRNA） into the spinal dorsal horn in situ 3 weeks before modeling. Rats in each electroacupuncture group received electroacupuncture at bilateral "Zusanli （ST 36）" and "Kunlun （BL 60）" from day 1 to day 7 after modeling， with dense-sparse waves at a frequency of 2 Hz/100 Hz and a current of 0.5-1.5 mA for 30 minutes once a day. Rats in the electroacupuncture + NRG1 group were intrathecally injected with ErbB3 ligand recombinant human neuregulin-1 （NRG1） after electroacupuncture intervention from day 5 to day 7 after modeling. The mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of rats were measured on day 1， 3， 5， and 7 after modeling to evaluate behavior， and Western Blot was used to detect the protein and phosphorylation levels of each ErbB subtype in the spinal dorsal horn. ResultsCompared with the control group， rats in the inflammatory pain group showed decreased mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of rats， and increased expression of phosphorylated ErbB3 （p-ErbB3） protein in the spinal dorsal horn on days 1， 3， 5， and 7 after modeling （P＜0.01）. On day 5 and day 7 after modeling， compared with the inflammatory pain group 1， the mecha-nical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of rats in the medium- and high-concentration TX1-85-1 groups increased， and the expression of p-ErbB3 protein decreased （P＜0.05）. On day 1， 3， 5， and 7 after modeling， compared with the control virus group， the mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of rats in the ErbB3 knockdown virus group increased （P＜0.05）. On day 5 and day 7 after modeling， compared with the inflammatory pain group 2 and the sham electroacupuncture group， the mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of rats in the electroacupuncture group increased， and the expression of p-ErbB3 protein decreased （P＜0.05）. On day 5 and day 7 after modeling， compared with the electroacupuncture + NRG1 group， the mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of rats in the electroacupuncture group 1 increased （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe p-ErbB3 in the spinal dorsal horn involved in hyperalgesia in rats with inflammatory pain， and electroacupuncture at "Zusanli （ST 36）" and "Kunlun （BL 60）" can alleviate inflammatory pain by inhibiting the expression of p-ErbB3 protein in the spinal dorsal horn of rats.

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.

Traumatic brain injury(TBI)is a serious condition characterized by high rates of mortality and disability.Deaths caused by severe TBI usually occur within the first few hours after the injury.Timely and effective management of TBI during pre-hospital and emergency treatment phases is crucial for improving patients'prognosis.To address this issue,the Emergency Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association,the Emergency Medicine Professional Committee of the People's Liberation Army,the Beijing Emergency Medicine Society,and the Chinese Emergency Medicine Specialist Association have jointly selected national experts in emergency medicine and neurosurgery to formulate the"Chinese Expert Consensus on the Pre-hospital and Emergency Diagnosis and Treatment of Adult Traumatic Brain Injury".This consensus consists of two parts focusing on pre-hospital and emergency diagnosis and treatment of TBI,with 24 recommendations put forward to guide relevant clinical practices in pre-hospital and emergency management.

Objective:To analyze the effect of Y chromosome AZFc microdeletion on pregnancy outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI).Methods:From 2016 to 2023,6 765 cases of oligozoospermia in our hospital were selected as the research objects.The results of Y chromosome microdeletion test were retrospectively analyzed.According to the inclusion exclusion criteria and the principle of propensity distribution 1∶2,180 patients were included in the study.Sixty patients with Y chromosome AZFc microde-letion and ICSI assisted pregnancy were enrolled into the experimental group.The other 120 patients without Y chromosome microde-letion and ICSI assisted pregnancy were included in the control group.Baseline characteristics,five male sex hormones,laboratory em-bryo culture and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in male age,female age,infertility years,gravidity and parity between the two groups(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the five sex hormones of men(P＞0.05).Except for transplantable embryos(P＜0.05),there was no significant difference in other indi-cators in the process of embryo culture.There was no difference in pregnancy outcome indicators between the two groups except for the preterm birth rate(P＜0.05).Conclusion:ICSI assisted pregnancy with Y chromosome AZFc microdeletion has no significant effect on pregnancy outcome.And close follow-up of offspring is required.

Objective:To investigate the functional characteristics of the prefrontal cortex in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) during resting state and analyze its association with clinical symptoms.Methods:Twenty-eight hospitalized patients with SCZ (SCZ group) were selected from November 2023 to May 2024, and 28 healthy controls (HC group) were recruited concurrently. By using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology, data on the concentration changes of oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbR) in the prefrontal cortex during resting state were collected from all subjects to measure cortical hemodynamic activity. Regional activation values and functional connectivity (FC) values among brain areas were analyzed. Clinical symptoms in patients were assessed using the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS).SPSS 25.0 software was employed for statistical analysis. Between-group comparisons were performed using independent samples t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests. Spearman correlation analysis and general linear regression models were applied to examine relationships between prefrontal cortical functional characteristics and clinical symptoms. Results:The levels of HbO in the right inferior frontal gyrus and left frontal pole area were significantly higher in the SCZ group (1.5 (1.0, 3.0)μmol/L, 1.0 (1.0, 2.8)μmol/L) than those in the HC group (-0.01 (-0.05, 0.02)μmol/L, -0.02 (-0.07, 0.03)μmol/L) ( Z=-6.46, -6.50, both P<0.01). The levels of HbR in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were significantly higher in the SCZ group (0.02 (-0.01, 0.07)μmol/L, 0.01 (-0.01, 0.03)μmol/L) than those in the HC group (-0.01 (-0.03, 0.01)μmol/L, -0.01 (-0.02, 0.01)μmol/L) ( Z=-2.46, -1.98, both P<0.05).The SCZ group showed significantly higher HbO-based FC values in the frontal pole-temporal pole (0.49±0.21) and temporal pole-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (0.36±0.25) compared to the HC group (0.33±0.18, 0.15±0.19) ( t=3.02, 3.44, both P<0.01). Conversely, the SCZ group exhibited significantly lower HbR-based FC in the frontal pole-inferior frontal gyrus (0.15±0.13) and inferior frontal gyrus-temporal pole (0.27±0.37) compared to the HC group (0.33±0.26, 0.77±0.48) ( t=-3.17, -4.23, both P<0.01). Correlation analysis revealed that in the SCZ group, the level of HbO in the right inferior frontal gyrus was positively correlated with negative symptoms, positive symptoms, excitement/hostility, and PANSS total score ( r=0.45-0.64, all P<0.05), and the level of HbO in the left frontal pole area was positively correlated with excitement/hostility and PANSS total score ( r=0.57, 0.50, both P<0.01), while the FC value between the frontal pole and temporal pole areas showed a negative correlation with excitement/hostility ( r=-0.39, P<0.05). Regression analysis demonstrated that, the HbO concentration in the right inferior frontal gyrus significantly positively predicted PANSS total score, positive symptoms, and negative symptoms ( β=0.70, 0.64, 0.55, all P<0.01).The HbO concentration in the left frontal pole area significantly positively predicted excitement/hostility ( β=0.77, P<0.01).The frontal pole-temporal pole HbO-based FC significantly negatively predicted excitement/hostility scores ( β=-0.42, P<0.01). Conclusion:Patients with SCZ exhibit hyperactivation of localized prefrontal cortex brain regions and dysfunction of functional connectivity during resting state, which are significantly associated with core clinical symptoms including positive, negative, and excitement/hostility symptoms.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.
