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 analyze transcranial sonography（TCS）imaging characteristics of rats with 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride（6-OHDA）and explore the correlations between the imaging characteristics with motor deficits and pathological changes.Methods:Twenty-nine male SD rats were divided into 3 groups：8 in the no-treatment control（NC）group，10 in the Sham group and 11 in the 6-OHDA group. The model for Sham/Parkinson's disease（PD）was established by stereotacticly injecting saline/6-OHDA containing ascorbic acid to bilateral substantia nigra pars compacta（SNpc）. After three weeks，the models were stable. At the fourth week and seventh week，the behavioral testing was accomplished. The TCS examination was performed weekly at the same time for four weeks. At the eighth week，the rats were sacrificed for pathology.Results:①Behavioral testing：6-OHDA group showed asymmetric motor deficits and the difference was significant compared with the NC group and Sham group（both P<0.001）. ②TCS examination：compared with the NC and Sham group，there were asymmetric substantia nigra hyperechogenicity（SNH）in 6-OHDA group（both P<0.05）；meanwhile the area of SNH in the left was significantly larger in the right side（ P<0.05）.No significant change in SNH area was found during the continuous observation period of weeks 4-7. For 6-OHDA group，the area of SNH was negatively correlated with the number of forelimb wall-touches（ r=-0.825， P＜0.001）. ③Pathological examination：compared with NC group and sham group，the substantia nigra（SN）of 6-OHDA group showed a series of pathological events，including dopaminergic（DA）neurons asymmetrically decreasing，asymmetric ironion deposition and the number of active microglia increasing（all P＜0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that the area of SNH was negatively correlated with the number of DA neurons survivors（ r=-0.689， P=0.013），while the activation of microglial and the deposition of iron were positively correlated with the area of SNH（ r=0.915，0.735；all P＜0.001）. Conclusions:Asymmetric SNH of 6-OHDA PD rats is a representation of asymmetric motor deficits，and the mechanism is related to a catalogue of asymmetric pathological changes in SN，which comprise DA neurons decreasing，asymmetric iron ions deposition，microglial activating.

Nitrogen oxides(NOx=NO+NO2)are important precursors of ozone(O3),and NOx and its oxides together constitute reactive nitrogen oxides(NOy)in the atmosphere.A comprehensive understanding of the total NOy level in the atmosphere is of great significance for a deeper understanding of the atmospheric nitrogen cycle and oxidation,as well as for formulating strategies for air pollution prevention and control.In this work,a thermal decomposition-broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy(TD-BBCEAS)technique for online measurement of total NOy in the atmosphere was developed.With this method,the NOy was efficiently converted into NO2,and the total NOy concentration in the atmosphere was indirectly obtained by measuring NO2.Focusing on the key factors affecting the measurement of total NOy,the influence of NO titration efficiency and other NOy component TD efficiency on measurement accuracy was emphasized.By changing the oxygen(O2)flow rate through the mercury lamp to alter the O3 concentration for titrating NO,the conversion efficiency of NO was evaluated.At O2 flow rate of 6 mL/min,the conversion efficiency of NO was greater than 99%.TD efficiency testing and analysis on NO2,peroxyacetyl nitrate(PAN),nitric acid(HNO3),and nitrous acid(HONO),which account for a large proportion of atmospheric NOy components,was carried out using 680℃as the optimal TD temperature for efficient conversion of NOy.With NO and HONO sample gases as typical verification gases,the conversion efficiency of NOy and the accuracy of NOy measurement by TD-BBCEAS system were verified by switching the on and off modes of mercury lamp and TD device.At integration time of 60 s,the detection limit of the system for NOy was 2.83×1010 molecules/cm3(60 s,2σ).A comparative measurement of actual atmospheric NOy was conducted between the TD-BBCEAS system and the NOy analyzer.The observation results showed a correlation coefficient(R2)of 0.98 and a slope of 0.93,further verifying the feasibility and accuracy of applying the TD-BBCEAS system to measurement of total NOy.

Fe/Mn/Gd polymetallic nanooxide(FMGN)were prepared by one-step solvent thermal reaction by using Fe(acac)3,Mn(acac)2 and Gd(acac)3 as reaction precursors.Next,hyaluronic acid(HA)was used to modify FMGN to fabricate tumor-targeting T 1-T 2 dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)contrast agent(HA-FMGN)for accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer.The structure and morphology of FMGN were observed by transmission electron microscope(TEM).It was found that FMGN exhibited a uniform nanocluster spherical structure when the feeding ratio of iron acetylacetonate,manganese acetylacetonate,and gadolinium acetylacetonate was 3:2:1.X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis showed that FMGN had a typical inverse spinel structure of Mn doped Fe 3O 4,with Gd existing in the form of amorphous gadolinium oxide.The longitudinal relaxivity(r 1)and transverse relaxivity(r 2)of FMGN were 13.395 and 428.535 L/(mmol·s),respectively,measured by 0.5 T MRI analyzer,which proved that FMGN had excellent T 1-T 2 dual-mode MRI contrast capability.The cytotoxicity and hemolysis test found that HA-FMGN didn't damage red cells and induce toxicity for normal cells,indicating that HA-FMGN had excellent cell biocompatibility.The internalization efficacy of HA-FMGN was observed by CLSM,and the results showed that HA-FMGN possessed excellent prostate tumor-targeting ability.In vivo MRI experiment showed that HA-FMGN significantly enhanced T 1 and T 2 weighted MRI signal to noise ratio(SNR)of prostate tumor,which promoted the accurate diagnosis of orthotopic prostate cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of venetoclax(VEN)in combination with hypomethylating agent(HMA)in the treatment of patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS).Methods:A total of 30 patients with high-risk MDS who received the combination of VEN and HMA from March 2019 to November 2022 were included.The overall response rate(ORR),modified overall response rate(mORR),overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),and adverse events of all included patients were evaluated.Results:Among the 30 high-risk MDS patients treated with VEN combined with HMA regimen,24 cases achieved complete response(CR)/marrow complete response(mCR),2 cases achieved partial response(PR),the ORR was 24/30,the median OS was 28.1 months,and the median PFS was 28.1 months.In addition,patients who achieved complete remission/marrow complete remission after treatment had a significantly longer OS than those who did not.Moreover,12 patients were treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).There were grade 3 or higher hematologic adverse events including thrombocytopenia(14 cases),neutropenia(14 cases),febrile neutropenia(10 cases)and anemia(7 cases)as well as gastrointestinal adverse events of any grade,such as vomiting(7 cases),diarrhea(5 cases),and constipation(4 cases).Conclusion:VEN in combination with HMA is an effective and safe treatment option in patients with high-risk MDS.This regimen combined with allo-HSCT can improve the prognosis of these patients.Continuous attention to the monitoring and management of adverse events is essential for the patients'safety in this combination therapy.

Objective:To assess the prognostic significance of plasma fibrinogen(FIB)levels in patients of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 203 newly diagnosed with DLBCL patients who met the study requirements from November 2016 to May 2024.Based on the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis of plasma FIB levels during diagnosis,the critical value of FIB was determined,and patients were divided into high FIB and low FIB groups.The clinical characteristics and relevant laboratory indicators of two groups were compared.The impact of plasma FIB levels on overall survival(OS)were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves as well as univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.The differences in FIB and other laboratory indicators under different disease states were compared.Results:According to the ROC curve,the optimal cut-off value of FIB was 3.49 g/L.Compared with the high FIB group(＞3.49 g/L),the low FIB group(≤3.49 g/L)had a significant decrease in neutrophil count(ANC)(P=0.001)and platelet count(PLT)(P=0.027),and a significant increase in prealbumin(PA)(P=0.001).A high FIB level was associated with decreased OS(P=0.005).Univariate analysis results showed that FIB had an impact on survival of patients(HR=2.031,95％CI:1.221-3.375,P=0.006).Multivariate analysis showed that higher FIB level was an independent adverse prognostic factor affecting patients survival(HR=2.684,95％CI;1.478-4.875,P=0.001).Compared with patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent DLBCL,patients with complete remission showed a significant decrease in FIB(PND＜0.001,PR=0.001)and ANC(PND＜0.001,PR=0.021),as well as an increase in albumin(ALB)(PND＜0.001,PR=0.018)and PA(PND＜0.001,PR＜0.001).Conclusion:Elevated FIB is a poor prognostic factor for DLBCL patients.The plasma FIB level is correlated with laboratory indicators such as ANC,PLT,PA,and disease status in DLBCL patients.Dynamic monitoring can assist in the early detection of changes in the condition.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (VR)-guided core stability-assisted training in improving the balance of ischemic stroke survivors.Methods:Sixty-six hemiplegic ischemic stroke survivors were randomly divided into a conventional rehabilitation training group (CON) of 32 and an immersive VR-guided core stability-assisted training group (VR-TOT) of 34. In addition to basic internal medical treatment, the CON group underwent conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the VR-TOT group received VR-guided core stability-assisted training. Before and after 4 weeks of the treatments, the subjects′ balance was evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer balance scale. A three-dimensional force platform was used to collect the sway amplitude, sway speed, peripheral area and total trajectory length of the center of pressure COP of the bilateral plantar in the left-right and anterior-posterior directions while the subjects stood with the eyes open and closed.Results:After the treatments, the average Fugl-Meyer balance scores of both groups had improved significantly. In the eyes-open condition, after the treatment, there was a significant decrease in the average COP sway amplitude in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side among the CON group, as well as in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on both sides in the VR-TOT group. The sway velocity in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side had decreased significantly in both groups, and the sway velocity in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on the non-hemiplegic side had also decreased significantly. In the CON group the peripheral area on the non-hemiplegic side had decreased and the total trajectory length had shortened significantly. In the VR-TOT group there were significant decreases in the peripheral area on both sides and in the total trajectory length on both sides. Comparing the two groups after treatment, the peripheral area on the hemiplegic side in the VR-TOT group was significantly smaller. In the eyes-closed condition, the sway amplitude of the COP on the hemiplegic side in the anteroposterior direction and on the non-hemiplegic side in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions had decreased significantly in the VR-TOT group after the treatment. The average sway velocity had decreased significantly in the anteroposterior direction on the non-hemiplegic side in the CON group. In the VR-TOT group this was observed in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side and in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on the healthy side. In the CON group the average peripheral area of the COP on the hemiplegic side had decreased, and the total trajectory length had shortened, both significantly. In the VR-TOT group, the peripheral area on the non-hemiplegic side had decreased significantly as well.Conclusions:Core stability-assisted training based on immersive virtual reality can effectively improve the balance of ischemic stroke survivors. It shows promise for clinical application.

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.
