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.

Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) represents a significant evolution in minimally invasive surgery, designed to accomplish cholecystectomy via a single umbilical incision. This approach seeks to reduce abdominal wall trauma while optimizing cosmetic outcomes. SILC is a safe and feasible minimally invasive technique for cholecystectomy under defined conditions; however, its broader adoption will require further evidence-based research and the establishment of standardized protocols to support its widespread implementation. When performed by skilled surgeons in carefully selected patients, SILC demonstrates clinical outcomes comparable to those of conventional multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with notable improvements in incision aesthetics. Nonetheless, the technique is limited by a constrained operative field and a protracted learning curve. In response, continuous advancements in instrumentation and procedural modifications have propelled the further development and clinical integration of SILC. Drawing on current literature and clinical experience, this review delineates the technical characteristics, current clinical applications, primary benefits, and prevailing challenges associated with SILC.

Objective:To explore the acupoint selection law of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of broca aphasia after stroke.Methods:RCT articles about acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for broca aphasia after stroke were retrieved from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, China Medical Journal Full-text Database, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science and Embase database from the establishment of the databases to May 31, 2024. Excel 2021, SPSS Statistics 27.0, SPSS Modeler 18.0 and Cytoscape 3.9.1 software were used to analyze the frequency of acupoint, clustering, association rules and core co-occurrence network.Results:A total of 87 articles were included, involving 100 acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions and 101 acupoints/acupoint area, involving 6 types, including Lianquan (CV 23) (35 times), Jinjin (EX-HN12) (35 times) and Yuye (EX-HN13) (34 times). The selected acupoints were mainly distributed in the head, face, neck and lower limbs, and the meridians were mainly Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel; the specific acupoints were mainly original acupoints, followed by collaterals acupoints, and scalp acupuncture was used most frequently in special acupuncture (88 times). According to the clustering analysis of high-frequency acupoints/acupoint area, there were five effective groups, such as "Jinjin (EX-HN12)-Yuye (EX-HN13)-Lianquan (CV 23)-Baihui (GV 20)-Yamen (GV 15)". The core co-occurrence network analysis showed that the acupoints used most frequently were Lianquan (CV 23) and Jinjin (EX-HN12), and the highest correlation between the two acupoints was Jinjin (EX-HN12)-Yuye (EX-HN13).Conclusions:Acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of broca aphasia after stroke is often based on "awakening the brain as the outline, benefiting the marrow as the foundation, and resuscitation". Under the guidance of the theory of Zang-fu meridians and collaterals, through dredging the meridians and collaterals, tonifying the brain and opening and closing the sound, the recovery of language function can be achieved.

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.

Aim To investigate the effect of N6-methy-ladenosine(m6A)demethylase ALKBH5 on the prolif-eration and migration of cardiac fibroblasts(CFs)in-duced by high glucose.Methods Primary CFs were isolated from neonatal mouse hearts and identified u-sing optical and confocal microscopy.Cell activation was induced using a high-glucose medium(33 mmol·L-1 glucose).An ALKBH5 overexpression model was established by transfecting CFs with an ALKBH5 ex-pression vector in a high-glucose medium.The expres-sion of ALKBH5 in CFs was assessed through immuno-fluorescence staining,Western blot and RT-qPCR.Changes in m6A levels were evaluated using Dot blot a-nalysis.Additionally,Alterations in the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)and collagenⅠ,a pivotal fibrosis indicator,were measured using Western blot.The proliferation and migration ability of CFs were assessed through EdU staining and Transwell migration assay,respectively.Results Following treatment with high glucose,the expression of ALKBH5 in CFs notably decreased,while m6A level increased.This was accompanied by a significant increase in the expression of the proliferation marker PCNA and the fi-brosis marker collagen Ⅰ.Additionally,there was a sig-nificant improvement in the ability of proliferation and migration.Overexpression of ALKBH5 resulted in a significant decrease in the expressions of PCNA and collagen Ⅰ,leading to the inhibition of both proliferation and migration in CFs.Conclusion Overexpression of ALKBH5 suppresses the expression of PCNA and colla-gen Ⅰ,consequently reducing the proliferation and mi-gration of CFs,potentially through m6A methylation modification.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of Yiqi Wenyang Sanjie Decoction in the treatment of patients with pulmonary ground glass nodules and yang-deficiency constitution,and to observe its effect on serum inflammatory factors and immune function.Methods From January 2020 to June 2024,a total of 106 patients with pulmonary ground glass nodules and yang-deficiency constitution admitted to the Department of Respiratory Medicine and Preventive Treatment of Disease Center of Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine were selected.The patients were randomly divided into control group and Chinese medicine group by random number table method,with 53 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were only given follow-up without any intervention,and the patients in the Chinese medicine group were treated with Yiqi Wenyang Sanjie Decoction for 3 months.Before and after treatment,the two groups were observed in the changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,maximum diameter of pulmonary ground glass nodules,serum levels of inflammatory factors of interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-17A(IL-17A),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and levels of immune function indicators of peripheral blood CD3+,CD4+cell percentage and CD4+/CD8+ratio.After treatment,the efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,5 cases fell off from the control group and 3 cases fell off from the Chinese medicine group.A total of 98 cases were eventually included,and 48 cases were in the control group and 50 cases were in the Chinese medicine group.(2)After 3 months of treatment,the total effective rate of the Chinese medicine group was 46.00%(23/50),and that of the control group was 10.42%(5/48).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the efficacy of the Chinese medicine group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the TCM syndrome score and the maximum diameter of pulmonary ground glass nodules in the Chinese medicine group were lowered(P＜0.05),while the TCM syndrome score and the maximum diameter showed no obvious changes compared with those at enrollment(P＞0.05);the intergroup comparison showed that the reduction of TCM syndrome score and the maximum diameter of pulmonary ground glass nodules in the Chinese medicine group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the levels of serum inflammatory factors of IL-6,IL-17A and TNF-α in the Chinese medicine group were significantly lowered compared with those at enrollment(P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in serum IL-6,IL-17A and TNF-α levels of the control group(P＞0.05);the intergroup comparison showed that the decrease of serum IL-6,IL-17A and TNF-α levels in the Chinese medicine group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,the percentage of T lymphocyte subset CD4+and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+in the Chinese medicine group were significantly increased compared with those at enrollment(P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in the percentage of CD3+,CD4+cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+of the control group and in the percentage of CD3+cells of the Chinese medicine group(P＞0.05).The intergroup comparison showed that the increase of CD4+percentage and CD4+/CD8+ratio in the Chinese medicine group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)There were no obvious adverse reactions occurring in the Chinese medicine group during the treatment,showing relatively high safety.Conclusion Yiqi Wenyang Sanjie Decoction exerts certain effect in the treatment of patients with pulmonary ground glass nodules and yang-deficiency constitution.It can effectively promote the reduction of nodules,relieve clinical symptoms,decrease serum levels of inflammatory factors,improve immune function,and has good safety.

Objective:To investigate the anti-heart failure mechanism of N-acetylcysteine(NAC)in diabetic cardiomyop-athy independent from coronary artery factors.Methods:A total of 40 diabetic mice after heart failure model construction were randomly divided into two groups,NAC group(n=20,NAC 100mg·kg-1·d-1)and control group(n=20,Saline 100 mg·kg-1·d-1).Echocardiography was performed to detect left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),mitral left ventricular early-dias-tolic peak flow velocity/left ventricular late-diastolic peak flow velocity(E/A),isovolumic relaxation time(IVRT)and cardiac output(CO)after 4 weeks.Terminal uridine nick-end labeling(TUNEL)was performed to detect apoptosis in-dex,and Western Blot was performed to detect the expression of extracellular regulated protein kinases(ERK)1/2 after 6 weeks in two groups.Results:Compared to those in control group,mice in NAC group had significant higher LVEF[(40.5±3.4)％vs.(36.9±3.2)％],E/A[(1.5±0.1)vs.(1.4±0.1)]and CO[(10.3±0.6)ml/min vs.(9.9±0.5)ml/min](P＜0.05 or＜0.01);and significant lower LVESV[(23.1±1.3)μl vs.(24.7±1.5)μl],apoptosis index[(31.2±0.5)％vs.(45.1±0.9)％]and the expression of ERK1/2[(2.2±0.2)vs.(3.9±0.1)](P＜0.001 all).Conclusion:NAC exerts anti-heart failure effect by attenuating apoptosis of cardiomyocytes via regulating ERK1/2 pathway.

Objective:To analyze the thematic distribution characteristics and evolution trends of the compensation mechanism reform policies for public hospitals in China since the new healthcare reform,and to provide references for correctly understanding the basic connotation and extension of the reform of compensation mechanism.Methods:A total of 75 documents issued at the national level were collected.The BERTopic topic model was used for thematic identification.The dynamic topic modeling method of BERTopic was adopted to conduct policy evolution analysis.Result:Since the new medical reform,the reform policy of compensation mechanism in public hospitals can be divided into eight themes,such as strengthening the operation management of public hospitals and adjusting the price of medical services.It shows an evolutionary trend of emphasizing the control of excessive growth of medical expenses and the implementation of government investment responsibilities in the early stage,focusing on the elimination of drug additions and the adjustment of medical service prices in the middle stage,and strengthening the reform of medical insurance payment methods in the later stage.Conclusions:The reform of the compensation mechanism for public hospitals is essentially a systematic reconstruction of the operation mechanism of public hospitals.Adjusting and optimizing medical service prices and reforming the medical insurance payment method are the key and focus of improving the compensation mechanism for public hospitals.
