Objective To understand mosquito density, species composition, and seasonal variations around the Beijing Capital International Airport(BCIA)and provide scientific evidence for mosquito-borne disease prevention and control. Methods Meteorological data were collected from 2016 to 2022, and mosquito density was monitored at seven surveillance sites around the BCIA from May to October each year using CO2-baited mosquito traps to analyze the relationship between mosquito density and meteorological factors. Results In total,68 518 female mosquitoes were captured, with a mosquito density of 10.20 per light · hour. The dominant species was Culex pipiens pallens(73.90%), followed by Aedes albopictus(9.71%)and Ae. vexans(9.29%);the mosquito density was highest in 2016(14.8 per light·hour)and lowest in 2022(4.46 per light·hour). Significant statistical differences were observed in mosquito density among different species(F=18.118, P<0.05). The density of Cx. pipiens pallens and other mosquito species showed a mutually exclusive trend; the peak of mosquito density varied based on years and habitats, with significant statistical differences in mosquito density among different habitats(F=8.504, P<0.05). The highest mosquito density was observed near the Wenyu River(21.50 per light·hour), whereas the lowest was recorded at the BCIA construction site(2.44 per light· hour). The monthly average temperature(r=0.595), monthly average highest temperature(r=0.575), and monthly average lowest temperature(r=0.624)showed moderate positive correlations, whereas the monthly average air pressure(r=-0.484)showed a moderate negative correlation. The monthly average minimum temperature was included in the regression model(F=25.575, P<0.000), and the equation Y=1.029X4-8.181 was used. The monthly average air pressure 2 months prior(b=-2.418, β=-1.619, P<0.05)and the monthly average relative humidity(b=-0.739, β=-1.201, P<0.05)significantly negatively predicted the mosquito density. Notably, the regression equation used was y=2526.170+(-2.418)X9+(-0.739)X13. The exposure-response analysis revealed that the density of mosquitoes was not linearly related to the average monthly air pressure, rainfall, and duration of sunshine. Conclusions The dominant mosquito species around the BCIA was Cx. pipiens pallens, Ae. albopictus, and Ae. vexans. During the control of Cx. pipiens pallens, the impact on other mosquito species must also be considered. Environmental management, breeding sites, and scientific use of pesticides should be prioritized based on the activity periods of mosquitoes. Further studies on mosquitoes and meteorological factors should be conducted to provide references and novel avenues for mosquito control.

Iron is one of the essential trace elements for the human body,which is crucial for the growth and development of newborns,especially premature infants.It participates in the generation of hemoglobin,affects the activity of various enzymes,and subsequently affects neurometabolism,neurochemistry,neuroanatomy,and gene/protein composition,thereby having a lasting impact on the development of the central nervous system.This article reviews the research progress on the relationship between iron metabolism and neurodevelopment in premature infants in recent years,aiming to provide scientific basis for clinical management and preventive intervention of premature infants.

Objective:To analyze the associated factors and cumulative effects of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) among residents in southern Xinjiang.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to conduct questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests among the personnel of the 51st Brigade, 3rd Division, Xinjiang, in 2016. The multivariate logistic regression, multivariate linear regression, restricted cubic spline, and network analysis methods were used to study the association of lifestyle (smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity), socioeconomic (occupation, education and marital status) and clinical factors (waist circumference, body mass index and family history) with CMM.Results:A total of 12 773 study subjects were included. The prevalence of cardiovascular metabolic diseases among residents in southern Xinjiang was 52.49%. Specifically, the prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and stroke were 31.14%, 29.95%, 6.78%, 6.26%, and 2.47%, respectively, and the prevalence of CMM was 19.06%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the associations between clinical and socioeconomic factors and CMM significantly increased with higher scores. Specifically, the OR rose from 1.75 (clinical factors) and 1.07 (socioeconomic factors) on a score of 1 to 4.41 and 1.93 on a score of 3, respectively. The association between lifestyle factors and CMM was only observed at higher scores ( OR=1.26, 95% CI:1.07~1.62). The trend test using the scores of each group as continuous variables in the model showed that the risk of disease increased with the accumulation of clinical, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors (all P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated a non-linear relationship between the total number of associated factors and CMM ( Poverall<0.05 and Pnon-linear<0.05). Network analysis identified hypertension (strength=0.42) as the “core node” among the five diseases. When analyzing the three types of influencing factors, hypertension (strength=0.68), dyslipidemia (strength=0.47), coronary heart disease (strength=0.37), and clinical factors (strength=0.53) emerged as “core nodes”. In the network of nine associated factors, abnormal waist circumference and BMI (strength=0.90 and 0.84) were identified as “key factors”, while hypertension (strength=0.68) and dyslipidemia (strength=0.52) were identified as “key diseases”. Conclusion:The prevalence of CMM among residents in southern Xinjiang is high, and there is a cumulative effect of multiple factors. Hypertension and dyslipidemia are key diseases in the multimorbidity network, while abnormal BMI and waist circumference are key associated factors.

Aim To elucidate the underlying mecha-nism by which total triterpenoids extracted from Hove-nia dulcis(H-TP)enhance the sensitivity of A549/DDP cells to cisplatin.Methods The ARE-Nrf2 lu-ciferase reporter assay was applied to investigate the impact of H-TP on Nrf2 expression.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of Keap-1/Nrf2/HO-1,Nrf2-GPX4 signaling pathway,apoptosis-related proteins of Bcl-2 and Bax.Further validation of its effects on Nrf2 was conducted by using Nrf2 activator/inhibitor.Results H-TP could enhance the sensitivi-ty of A549/DDP cells to cisplatin by modulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2,inhibiting the Keap-1/Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signating pathway in A549/DDP cells,and inducing ferroptosis.Conclusion H-TP enhances the sensitivity of A549/DDP cells to cisplatin by inducing the Nrf2-mediated ferroptosis pathway.

The advancement of surgical techniques enables effective treatment for many patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors.How-ever,post-surgery problems such as chewing,swallowing and speech difficulty may arise due to the defects in speech organs and inade-quate compensatory function of tissue flap repair.Speech disorders,in particular,isolate patients by making it difficult for them to com-municate with others,not only impact their quality of life but also potentially lead to psychological problems and social interaction disor-ders.Although the decline in life quality and other related issues caused by speech dysfunction due to surgery and radiotherapy or chemo-therapy have been widely recognized,there is currently no standardized and universally applicable assessment method and standardized re-habilitation treatment management guideline or consensus for speech disorders following oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery at home and abroad.Based on previous clinical practice,combined with the characteristics of speech disorders in patients after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery,the clinical experience of the experts in maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation and the relevant domestic and foreign literature,relevant experts organized discussions and modifications,reach a consensus on core content such as the assessment of speech disorders and the implementation plan for early rehabilitation treatment management,providing a reference for clinical practice,in order to improve patients'speech-related life quality and enhance the assessment and rehabilitation treatment techniques for speech disorders after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery.

With the aging of the population,the disease burden of heart valve disease in China has significantly increased.In recent years,the interventional treatment for heart valve disease has flourished,among which transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)has become the first-line treatment for elderly patients with aortic valve stenosis.China started relatively late in the field of interventional treatment for heart valve disease.The construction of heart valve centers helps to standardize the diagnosis and interventional treatment of heart valve disease in China and improve the management of prognosis for patients.Up to December 2024,a total of 453 centers have participated in the construction of heart valve centers,including 100 construction centers and 40 certification centers.The National Transcatheter Valve Therapeutics Registry(NTCVR)database has reported a total of 28 594 cases,with approximately 50％of Chinese TAVR cases recorded in NTCVR database.The construction of the heart valve centers has shown initial results,significantly optimizing the process of diagnosis and treatment of heart valve disease and improving the prognosis.At present,there are still many shortcomings in the construction of heart valve centers.For example,the follow-up rate of patients after discharge is low,and long-term management after discharge needs to be further improved.There is still a gap in some indicators between construction centers and certification centers,and the promotion of high-quality management of interventional treatment of heart valve disease in China is still a long way to go.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the possibility of using a inferior gluteal artery perforator flap (IGAPF) for breast reconstruction in the patient who did not have suitable donor site in back and abdomen.Methods:In November 2024, a 25-year-old unmarried and childless woman with right breast cancer received immediate right breast reconstruction by a right free IGAPF after modified right mastectomy in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. The locations of perforators were confirmed by both Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and portable Doppler blood flow detector before surgery. The IGAPF was designed to take the inferior gluteal wrinkle as the lower edge, the axis of the flap was parallel to the inferior gluteal wrinkle, and the width of the flap was estimated where the incision could be directly closed. The size of right IGAPF was 6.0 cm×19.0 cm. Sharp dissection was performed between the sarcolemma and muscle fibres of gluteus, then the perforators were dissected along the direction of muscle fibres of gluteus. The vascular pedicle was kept at about 8.0 cm in length. The diameter of artery was about 2.0 mm and that for the veins was about 1.5 mm. End-to-end anastomoses with the right thoracodorsal artery and vein were successfully carried out. The donor site was directly closed, and it was hidden in the inferior gluteal wrinkle. Postoperative outpatient clinical review was made.Results:Pathological examination reported: an invasive carcinoma of right breast, axillary lymph node metastasis (2/10). The patient recovered well and the flap survived without any complication, i.e. ischemic necrosis, infection and haematoma. The patient was off-bed at 3 days and discharged at 13 days after surgery. At the 40 days of postoperative follow-up, the patient achieved a good recovery and the lower limb activity was not affected by the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the reconstructed breast and donor site recovery. The patient followed with scheduled chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. The volume of reconstructed breast was smaller than the other breast, of which the patient was fully informed before the surgery.Conclusion:A free IGAPF provides an alternative donor sites for achieving a breast reconstruction due to the reliable pedicle vessels and invisible donor scars.
