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.

Objective:To compare the application of cloning sequencing and third-generation nanopore sequencing technology in the identification of raw materials mixed in Tibetan patent medicine Shiliujianwei powder,and to pro-vide a reference for the establishment of the specific identification method for the formulation of medicinal prepara-tions using the raw powder of medicinal herbs or herbal pieces.Methods:By investigating the different concentra-tions of ExTaq enzyme,genomic DNA,upstream and downstream primers in the PCR amplification system,the suit-able PCR amplification system of genomic DNA universal primers for self-made Tibetan medicine Shiliujianwei powder was determined.The amplified products of Shiliujianwei powder were sequenced by two methods,the first was cloned and sequenced by Sanger sequencing technology,and the second was sequenced by third generation nanopore sequen-cing technology.Results:The addition of ExTaq enzyme,upstream and downstream primers and genomic DNA in 20 μL PCR amplification system of Shiliujianwei powder and single medicinal samples were determined to be 0.4,1.5 and 1 μL,respectively.The amplification products of the DNA from self-made Shiliujianwei powder were cloned and sequenced by Sanger sequencing technology,then only the ITS2 sequence of Carthami flos was obtained.The amplified products of self-made pomegranate Jianwei powder DNA were sequenced by three-generation nanopore se-quencing technology,and the ITS2 sequences of Granati semen,Carthami flos,Piperis longi fructus and Amomi fruc-tus rotundus were finally obtained,but the ITS2 sequence of cinnamomi cortex was not obtained.Conclusion:Both cloning sequencing and the third generation nanopore sequencing could solve the problem of overlapping peaks in the direct sanger sequencing for the universal primer amplification products of patent drugs.The third generation nano-pore sequencing was better than cloning sequencing in the sequencing of the universal primer amplification products of patent drugs,but there were still one raw material medicine that have not been detected.It is of certain reference val-ue for the molecular biological identification and DNA barcoding study of different raw materials in the patent medi-cine to establish the specific identification method of Tibetan patent medicine Shiliujianwei powder.

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.

China has become the country with the highest global burden of heart failure(HF).Despite the widespread use of prognostic-improving medications today,the mortality rate of HF remains high,reaching 13.7％at one year-particularly among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF).HF interventional device therapy(structural intervention)targets the structural factors underlying HF,including atrial pressure,ventricular remodeling,and valvular intervention.It leverages the heart's intrinsic physiological properties and pathological progression mechanisms to deliver treatments through interventions without external active forces,achieving anatomical or functional repair.This field has emerged as a rapidly growing area and plays an increasingly critical role in HF management.This article provides a comprehensive review and summary of the latest advancements in HF and cardiomyopathy interventional therapy over the past year.It covers various novel technologies and products currently in the research phase,aiming to provide an in-depth analysis of the current status and future directions of HF interventional therapy,and further advance the development of this discipline.

Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with the coexistence of Sj?gren's syndrome(SS)in patients with primary biliary cholangitis(PBC),and to develop and compare diagnostic prediction models for the comorbidity of the two conditions.Methods A total of 183 patients first diagnosed with PBC at The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2012 to April 2023 were included.They were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of SS:those with PBC alone(n=96)and those with PBC accompanied by SS(n=87).Clinical manifestations,serological antibody results,and laboratory parameters were compared between the two groups.Continuous data were compared using the t-test or Mann-Whitney U test,while categorical data were compared using the chi-square test.The risk factors for the presence of SS in PBC were identified through a multivariable Logistic regression analysis.Subsequently,an artificial neural network(ANN)model and a multiple logistic regression(MLR)model were constructed to predict the presence of SS in PBS.The receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted in MedCalc,and the area under the curve(AUC)was compared using the Delong test.Results Serum IgG level(odds ratio[OR]=1.600,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.364-1.876,P<0.001)was an independent risk factor,while serum total bilirubin level(OR=0.760,95%CI:0.700-0.811,P=0.005)was an independent protective factor against the presence of SS in patients with PBC.The AUCs of the ANN model and the MLR model diagnosing SS in PBC were 0.919(95%CI:0.870-0.954)and 0.896(95%CI:0.843-0.936),respectively,both showing good predictive efficacy,and the predictive efficacy of the ANN model was significantly better than that of the MLR model(P=0.019 2).Conclusion Patients with PBC complicated by SS usually present at an early stage with mild symptoms during their initial medical consultation,when early diagnosis and treatment are beneficial for their prognosis.For patients with PBC showing high serum IgG levels at the first diagnosis or consultation,SS screening is necessary.

Objective To analyze the efficacy of vascularized lymph node transplantation(VLNT)combined with lymphatic venous anastomosis(LVA)in the treatment of secondary lower extremity lymphedema assisted by super microsurgical techniques.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 15 patients with secondary lower limb lymphedema who underwent VLNT+LVA surgery in the Department of Reconstructive and Reconstructive Microsurgery of Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2021 to July 2023,and compared the circumference and volume of each segment of the lower limb between the preoperative and postoperative 90 days.LVA according to the results of ICG examination,3-5 parts of the lower limb were selected for"Z"shaped surgery,and the lymphatic vessels and venules were anastomosed under the microscope in the subcutaneous fat layer.VLNT confirmed and labeled the saphenous branch of the descending knee artery and its accompanying veins in the popliteal fossa,and the latissimus dorsi lymph node flap was incised,and the flap vessels were anastomosed with the saphenous branch of the descending knee artery and its accompanying veins.Postoperative observation of flap vascularization.The circumference and volume of the affected limb were measured before surgery and 90 days after surgery.Results A total of 15 patients with lower extremity lymphedema were included without serious complications.Statistical analysis showed that the circumference of all levels of the affected limb and the volume of the affected limb were improved 90 days after operation compared with those before surgery.Among them,the limb circumference and volume at each level from the highest point of the dorsum of the foot to 52 cm above the ankle improved 90 days after the operation compared with those before the operation.Conclusion LNT+LVA treatment for secondary lower extremity lymphedema can effectively control edema and improve the function of the affected limb.
