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.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma （PDAC） has an extremely poor prognosis， and resistance to gemcitabine is one of the key reasons for treatment failure， with an underlying mechanism closely associated with lipid metabolic reprogramming in tumor cells. This article aims to systematically elaborate on the multidimensional drug resistance network constructed by such reprogramming and the feasibility of targeted intervention. Lipid metabolic reprogramming comprehensively remodels the metabolic homeostasis of PDAC cells by enhancing lipid uptake， de novo synthesis， storage， and oxidative catabolism in a synergistic manner. This process alters membrane lipid composition to impede drug influx and promote efflux， thereby reducing intracellular drug concentration. Meanwhile， it activates pathways involving sterol regulatory element-binding protein and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ， couples lipid synthesis with cell survival， stemness， and anti-apoptotic capacity， and synergizes with autophagy to provide survival support through “lipophagy”. In addition， it reshapes the tumor microenvironment through “lipid hijacking” and the secretion of immunosuppressive mediators. Based on the above mechanisms， targeting key lipid metabolic enzymes （such as fatty acid synthase， stearoyl-CoA desaturase， carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1） or their upstream regulators has shown certain potential in reversing such drug resistance in preclinical studies. Although clinical translation faces the challenges such as systemic toxicity， metabolic redundancy in tumors， and patient heterogeneity， the development of biomarkers， intelligent drug delivery systems， and combined therapies may provide new ideas for overcoming drug resistance.

Objective To investigate the predictive ability of cyst fluid characteristics for malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). Methods We prospectively collected fresh cyst fluid from patients undergoing pancreatic resection at the Department of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Spleen Surgery, Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, from September 2023 to December 2024, who were ultimately pathologically confirmed with IPMN. We assessed the characteristics of cyst fluid, including viscosity, clarity, and color, and explored its predictive performance for benign or malignant. Results A total of 40 patients with IPMN were included. The sensitivity of the string sign （+） for diagnosing high-grade dysplasia/ invasive carcinoma （HGD/IC） was 90.9%, specificity was 92.9%, and accuracy was 76.0%. The cyst fluid of intestinal-type IPMN often exhibited a gelatinous consistency, and there was no significant difference in the distribution of gelatinous consistency between the HGD/IC group and the low-grade dysplasia （LGD） group. There were no significant differences in CEA, glucose, and amylase levels in the cyst fluid between the HGD/IC group and the LGD group. Conclusions The characteristics of pancreatic cyst fluid, especially viscosity, can effectively predict the benign or malignant nature of IPMN.

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.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To characterize the changing species distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of respiratory isolates in hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems and disk diffusion method were used to test the susceptibility of respiratory bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents following the standardized technical protocol established by the CHINET program.Results A total of 589 746 respiratory isolates were collected from 2015 to 2021.Overall,82.6％of the isolates were Gram-negative bacteria and 17.4％were Gram-positive bacteria.The bacterial isolates from outpatients and inpatients accounted for(6.0±0.9)％and(94.0±0.1)％,respectively.The top microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Acinetobacter spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,Haemophilus spp.,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Escherichia coli,and Streptococcus pneumoniae.Each microorganism was isolated from significantly more males than from females(P＜0.05).The overall prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 39.9％.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was 1.4％.The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 67.8％and 41.3％,respectively.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii was 3.7％,20.8％,9.4％,29.8％,and 73.3％,respectively.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 96.1％in Moraxella catarrhalis and 60.0％in Haemophilus influenzae.The H.influenzae isolates from children(＜18 years)showed significantly higher resistance rates to β-lactam antibiotics than the isolates from adults(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are still predominant in respiratory isolates associated with serious antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened in clinical practice to support accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.

Objective To construct an enhancer-based prognostic risk prediction model for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by integrating DNA methylome data and transcriptome data. Methods The weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify NSCLC related genes from the differentially methylated positions (DMPs) of enhancers. Based on the transcriptome data,the prognostic risk prediction model was constructed using LASSO-Cox regression algorithm. Results Through the analysis on DNA methylome data of NSCLC,19784 DMPs were obtained and their distribution patterns were characterized,including 6089 DMPs of enhancers. WGCNA analysis screened 79 highly correlated DMPs of enhancer with NSCLC from the 6089 DMPs. After analyzing the target genes of 79 DMPs with LASSO-Cox regression based on the transcriptome data,10 genes were used to construct a prognostic risk prediction model. The prognostic risk prediction model was evaluated by calculating the areas under the curve (AUC) of 3-,5-,and 10-year time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves in training set and validation set;and the results showed that the 3-,5-,and 10-year AUC in training set and validation set were all higher than 0.7. Finally,a nomogram was constructed to predict the 3-,5-,and 10-year survival probabilities of NSCLC. Conclusion This study provides new insights into the role of enhancers in NSCLC and has the potential to improve the prognosis by guiding personalized treatment decisions.

Diabetic nephropathy(DN)ranks as a frequent and serious complication in diabetes mellitus,and it's a key factor in chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease(ESRD),greatly diminishing the life quality of patients.Presently,the conventional treatment approaches for DN mainly involve strict regulation of blood sugar and pressure,in conjunction with the application of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors.While these therapies can slow down the advancement of DN,they are ineffective in stopping its final development into ESRD.Lately,the involvement of the gut-kidney axis in the development and advancement of DN has attracted growing interest.Individuals suffering from DN show changes in the variety of gut microbiota,which are crucial in the development and management of DN due to metabolic interactions with the host.The goal of this analysis is to explore the fundamental processes of gut microbiota's role in DN and explore treatment approaches focusing on gut microbiota,aiming to offer new perspectives for the clinical handling of DN.

Catheter-based pulsed field ablation(PFA)for atrial fibrillation ablation has been widely adopted worldwide in recent years,accumulating substantial evidence for its efficacy and safety.However,several adverse events associated with this technology have also been observed,such as PFA-related coronary artery spasm,hemolysis,acute renal injury,and symptomatic or asymptomatic cerebrovascular events.This review summarizes the latest basic and clinical research advances in PFA over the past two years,focusing on biophysical aspects including the field intensity of PFA,the thermal effects of PFA,contact force,and the number of applications.We discuss whether PFA demonstrates tissue selectivity,the mechanisms of hemolysis and microbubble formation,as well as the lesion morphology and impact factors to lesion depth.This review aims to provide clinicians with a more in-depth understanding of PFA technology and biphasic to optimize clinical application.

Over 40%of critically ill patients will develop coagulopathy.Once critically ill patients are complicated with coagulopathy,the incidence of bleeding and mortality can increase by more than 4 times.Early identification of coagulopathy and accurate evaluation of coagulation function are essential for correcting coagulopathy as soon as possible.Therefore,Chinese Society of Thrombosis,Hemostasis and Critical Care,Chinese Medicine Education Association,together with Chinese People's Liberation Army Professional Committee of Critical Care Medicine updated the"Chinese expert consensus on standardized assessment of severe coagulopathy(2025 Edition)"on the basis of the"Consensus of Chinese experts on standardized evaluation of coagulation dysfunction in severe patients"formulated in 2022.This consensus includes four parts:classification and typing,etiology and mechanism,assessment methods,and diagnostic criteria of severe coagulopathy,with a total of 14 recommendations,aiming to provide corresponding guidance for clinical practice.
