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.

Objective To explore the effects of different nerve blocks under ultrasound guidance on the expression of inflammatory factors after total hip replacement in the elderly,and its correlation with postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD).Methods A total of 100 elderly patients who underwent total hip replacement in our hospital from February to November 2023 were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into the femoral nerve block(FNB)group and the pericapsule nerve group block(PNGB)group according to different nerve block methods during the operation.The expression of inflammatory factors such as serum interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-10(IL-10),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and tumor necrosis factor-β(TNF-β)1 day before surgery,6 hours after anesthesia,1 day after surgery,and 3 days after surgery of patients in the two groups were compared.The cognitive function of patients was evaluated by the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score,and the pain of patients was evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS)score.GEE model was used to evaluate the effects of two kinds of nerve block on the expression of inflammatory factors.Logistic regression was used to analyzed the correlation between postoperative inflammatory factors and POCD in patients.Results The levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α and TNF-β 1 day after operation in the PNGB group were higher than those in the FNB group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The MMSE score 1 day after surgery in the PNGB group was significantly higher than that in the FNB group(P<0.05),and the VAS score 3 days after surgery was significantly lower than that in the FNB group(P<0.05).GEE model showed that PNGB has a greater impact on IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,and TNF-β.IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,and TNF-β were all independently related to POCD induced by two different nerve blocks(P<0.05).Conclusion PNGB can effectively inhibit pro-inflammatory factors,reduce inflammatory stress responses,and maintain the balance of inflammatory factors.Inflammatory factors are independently related to POCD induced by different nerve blocks.With the occurrence of inflammatory stress response,the risk of POCD in patients increases.

Objective To elucidate the impact of chronic kidney disease(CKD)on the clinical outcomes of patients with left main coronary artery disease(LMCAD)undergoing intravascular ultrasound(IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods This retrospective study enrolled consecutive patients with LMCAD who underwent IVUS-guided PCI at Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital between January 2017 and December 2020.Patients were stratified into CKD and non-CKD groups according to the presence of CKD.Clinical data were systematically retrieved from the electronic health record system.Demographic,clinical,and angiographic characteristics were compared between groups.The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE),defined as a composite of all-cause mortality,myocardial infarction,and ischemic stroke.Results A total of 325 LMCAD patients[mean age(62.56±9.86)years;73.54％male]were included,with 31 patients(9.54％)in the CKD group.During a median follow-up of 5 years,CKD patients exhibited significantly older age[(70.13±9.77)years vs.(61.77±9.54)years,P＜0.001],higher prevalence of three-vessel disease(64.52％vs.38.10％;P=0.040)and left main bifurcation lesion(45.16％vs.37.76％,P=0.011),greater IVUS-detected calcification burden(P=0.029),and higher median SYNTAXⅡ scores[(34.10(30.30,39.25)vs.26.75(22.42,31.58),P＜0.001)].The cumulative incidence of MACE was significantly higher in the CKD group compared to the non-CKD group(32.26％vs.9.18％,P＜0.001).Univariate Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves confirmed a 5.877-fold increased risk of MACE in CKD patients(95％CI 2.765-12.494).After adjusting for age and cardiac function,CKD remained an independent predictor of MACE(HR 3.611,95％CI 1.634-7.978).Conclusions LMCAD patients with concomitant CKD present with advanced age,impaired cardiac function,more extensive coronary disease,and severe calcification.The presence of CKD is associated with a significantly worse long-term prognosis.

Diabetes-related cognitive impairment(DCI)is a major complication of type 2 diabetes melli-tus(T2DM).Although exercise is essential in alleviating DCI,the underlying mechanisms remain un-clear.The aim of this study is to investigate the role and mechanism of exosomal miR-126a-5p induced by exercise in ameliorating DCI.Twenty-four 16-week-old male db/db mice were randomly divided into dia-betes group(n=12;DM)and exercise intervention group(n=12;DE).The control group consisted of male m/m mice of the same age group(n=12;CON).The DE group underwent 8 weeks of moderate in-tensity treadmill training(10 m/min,5 days a week).In the MWM experiment,compared to the CON group,the DM group exhibited prolonged escape latency(P<0.01),reduced swimming speed and target quadrant time(P<0.001),and decreased expression of miR-126a-5p and EX-miR-126a-5p in hipp-ocampal tissue(P<0.001).After exercise intervention,the DE group showed improved performance with decreased escape latency(P<0.05),increased swimming speed and target quadrant time(P<0.05),and elevated levels of exosomal miR-126a-5p(P<0.001).Morphological staining revealed a de-crease in the expression and proportion of NeuN in hippocampal neurons and an increase in the expression and proportion of glial cells in the CA1 and CA3 regions of DM group mice compared to CON group mice(P<0.05),while DE group mice showed increased fluorescence intensity and proportion of neurons(P<0.05).Western blotting analysis revealed that the DM group also showed significant upregulation of amy-loid β(Aβ),high mobility group box 1(Hmgb1),and NF-κB in the hippocampus(P<0.05),which were reduced after exercise(P<0.05).Moreover,exosomal miR-126a-5p overexpression greatly de-creased the levels of Hmgb1,NF-κB,and amyloid precursor protein(APP)in HT22 cells and TNF-α,IL-1β in supernatant exposed to HG(P<0.05),while inhibition of miR-126a-5p led to increased levels of these proteins(P<0.05).In conclusion,eight weeks of treadmill exercise improved cognitive function in db/db mice,likely through the EXs-miR-126/HMGB1/NF-κB pathway to reduce inflammation in hip-pocampal tissue.

Objective:To assess the effect of transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) with liposomal bupivacaine and general anesthesia on postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients with prior novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19).Methods:In this randomized double-blind controlled study, 416 patients of either sex, aged 65-90 yr, weighing 50-90 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ, diagnosed as having COVID-19 within 6 months prior to surgery, who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery under combination of elective TAPB and combined intravenous-inhalational general anaesthesia at Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 2023 to December 2024, were selected. The patients were divided into liposomal bupivacaine group ( n=208) and bupivacaine hydrochloride group ( n=208) using the random number table method. After induction of anaesthesia, bilateral TAPB was performed with liposomal bupivacaine injectio 266 mg (40 ml) in liposomal bupivacaine group and with 0.5% bupivacaine hydrochloride 40 ml in bupivacaine hydrochloride group. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of POD within 7 days after surgery. Secondary outcome measures included severity of POD, pain scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation, the rate of postoperative rescue analgesia and consumption of morphine, duration of post-anesthesia care unit stay, and length of hospital stay. The occurrence of complications such as death, reoperation, atelectasis and pneumonia was recorded at 30 days after surgery. Results:Compared with bupivacaine hydrochloride group, the incidence of POD was significantly decreased (21.5% [43/200]versus 12.0% [24/200]), pain scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation were decreased, the rate of postoperative rescue analgesia and consumption of morphine were decreased, and the duration of post-anesthesia care unit stay and length of hospital stay were shortened in liposomal bupivacaine group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the severity of POD and the case fatality rate and related complications within 30 days after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Liposomal bupivacaine TAPB combined with general anesthesia can reduce the development of POD in elderly patients with prior COVID-19.

Aim To study the effects of curcumin de-rivative C0818 on the migration,apoptosis and prolifer-ation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cells.Methods MTT assay and CFSE were used to detect the inhibitory effect of C0818 on the proliferation of NSCLC cells NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 in vitro.Flow cytometry was used to detect mitochondrial reactive ox-ygen species(ROS),the mitochondrial membrane po-tential(MMP),cell apoptosis,and the cell cycle.The Transwell chamber assay and scratch wound healing as-say were used to detect the effect of C0818 on the mi-gration ability of NSCLC cells.Western blot was used to detect the expression of apoptosis and migration-re-lated proteins.Results C0818 inhibited the prolifera-tion of NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner,and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase.C0818 disrupted the MMP.With the increase of the concentration of C0818(0.4-1.6μmol·L-1),the apoptosis rate of cells increased sig-nificantly,accompanied by the up-regulation of pro-ap-optotic proteins Bax,cleaved PARP,and cleaved caspase-3/8,and the down-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2.C0818 inhibited the migration ability of NSCLC cells and could inhibit the expression of pro-teins related to invasion and metastasis,such as N-cad-herin,β-catenin,and Vimentin.Conclusions The curcumin derivative C0818 induces caspase-mediated and ROS-dependent apoptosis,inhibits cell prolifera-tion,and has a strong anti-metastatic ability in vitro.

Aim To observe the mechanism of salvian-olic acid B(SalB)against oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation(OGD/R)injury in H9c2 cardiomyo-cytes.Methods The protective concentration of SalB against OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was screened by CCK-8 assay.The levels of lactate dehy-drogenase(LDH),aspartate transaminase(AST)and creatine kinase(CK)were detected by ELISA kit.The mechanism of action of SalB on OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was explored using high-through-put sequencing of the transcriptome.The binding of SalB to differential proteins was assessed using molecu-lar docking assays.Fatty acid content was determined using free fatty acid kits.The relative expressions of mRNA and protein of differential genes were verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The causal relationship between the target of action of SalB and heart failure was examined by Mendelian randomization experiment.Results SalB protected OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardio-myocytes and significantly reduced the levels of CK,LDH and AST compared with the blank control group.One hundred differential genes were screened by tran-scriptome sequencing,which were mainly involved in fatty acid elongation,central carbon metabolism of cancer,tryptophan metabolism pathways.Molecular docking showed that SalB had good binding energy to differential proteins.The mRNA and protein expression of core differential genes Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results.SalB reduced fatty acidsafter OGD/R injury.Mende-lian randomization experiments suggested that SalB might reduce the risk of heart failure through fatty acid metabolism,thereby reducing the risk of heart failure.Conclusion SalB can protect H9c2 cardiomyocytes after OGD/R injury by down-regulating Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 expression through the fatty acid metabolism pathway.

Sarin(GB)is a typical representative of nerve agents with high toxicity,and very low amount can cause death.GB can cause water and atmospheric environment poisoning,so the detection of GB in water and air is of great significance.In this work,a colorimetric sensor array(CSA)based on GB inhibition of cholinesterase activity was constructed to detect GB with high selectivity.A 4×4 colorimetric array was constructed using acetylcholinesterase(AChE),butyryl cholinesterase(BuChE)and the corresponding substrate acetylthiocholine iodide(S-ACh),butyryl thiocholine iodide(S-BCh),acetylcholine chloride(ACh),butyryl choline chloride(BCh)and 2,6-dichloroindophenol ethyl ester(DCIE).The linear curve of the sensor was Y=131.3×lgC+271.6(R2=0.997),where Y was the array response Euclidean distance,C was the concentration of GB(mg/L),the linear range was 0.03?0.32 mg/L,and the detection limit was 27.6 μg/L.The method could effectively distinguish chemical warfare agents(CWA)such as VX,Soman(GD),mustard gas(HD),Louie reagent(L),and had high anti-interference ability,sensitivity and good repeatability.It was successfully applied to the detection of GB in simulated water and simulated air samples,and the sample recovery rate was 97.2% ?100.9%.This method would be potentially applied to the field rapid detection of nerve agents.
