Objective In order to understand the current resistance status of Aedes albopictus(Ae. albopictus) adult population to commonly used insecticides and the resistance dynamics development in Zhejiang Province and provide a theoretical basis for the scientific and rational use of hygienic insecticides. Methods Resistance determination was carried out using the diagnostic dose method(GB/T 26347-2010)recommended by WHO in the adult mosquito contact cylinder method to monitor the resistance of Ae. albopictus field populations in 11 cities and districts in Zhejiang Province in 2024. Results The monitoring result showed that adult Ae. albopictus in 11 areas were resistant or suspected resistant populations to both cis-cypermethrin and permethrin; suspected and resistant populations to the organophosphate insecticide malathion were as high as 81.82%; while suspected resistance to the carbamate insecticide residual carbofuran accounted for 45.45%, and the rest of the monitoring sites were sensitive to it. Conclusions The result suggest that the generalized resistance of Ae. albopictus populations to pyrethroids and organophosphorus insecticides in the field in Zhejiang Province needs to be highly emphasized. In future mosquito vector and mosquito-borne disease control, insecticides should be selected based on the resistance monitoring information, while following scientific guidelines for insecticide use.

OBJECTIVE To stimulate the debridement and dressing process under the approximately real clinical scene by fluorescence labeling and understand the contamination status of the operators' bodies and their surround-ings so as to improve the strategies.METHODS A total of 41 trainees were recruited from Enterostomal Therapist Nursing Education Program of Peking University School of Medicine and International School of Wound Thera-pists of Peking University First Hospital in 2023.The examination was designed by stimulating the debridement and dressing operations with fluorescence labeling,the orange was used to simulate the wound of the patients,and the pad towel was placed under the orange to represent the contaminated surroundings of the wound.A round le-sion area with diameter of 2 cm was uniformly marked on the surface of the orange peel by the operators,the trai-nees were asked to remove the lesion tissues and take dressings.The fluorescent powders were smeared evenly on the orange and pad towel before the examination,and no fluorescence labeling for the surroundings was guaranteed.The trainees were required to wear hats,masks,isolation gowns and gloves during the operations,and take off the gloves and trace the scope of fluorescent contamination with ultraviolet radiator after the examina-tion.RESULTS The contamination rate was 92.68%for the trainees' bodies,100.00%for their surroundings.The hands and forearms were the most severe contaminated body sites,and the contamination rates were 85.37%(35/41)and 34.15%(14/41),respectively.The downside of the pad towel was the most frequently contaminated area of the surroundings,with the proportion of 90.24%(37/41);the right side of the pad towel was the area with the contamination disseminated farthest,with the median distance of dissemination 13.50 cm.In addition,the dressing change carts of 75.61%(31/41)of the trainees were contaminated.CONCLUSIONS The operations of de-bridement and dressing change may lead to varying degrees of contamination of their bodies and surroundings.It is necessary to strengthen the hand hygiene and protective isolation during the process of dressing change and pay attention to the disinfection of the dressing change carts so as to minimize the risk of hospital-associated infec-tions.

Tumor immunotherapy,recognized as the fourth major treatment modality alongside surgery,radiotherapy,and chemotherapy,fundamentally relies on mobilizing and enhancing the body's intrinsic immune system to achieve the precise targeting and elimination of neoplastic lesions.In this therapeutic framework,macrophages derived from blood monocyte differentiation serve as critical components of the innate immune defense system and exert profound impacts within the tumor microenvironment(TME).As the dominant inflammatory cell population infiltrating the TME,tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)not only perform a key function in immune regulation but also serve as a paradigm for the connection between inflammation and tumors.Therapeutic strategies targeting TAMs aim to reverse the immunosuppressive milieu of the TME through multifaceted regulatory mechanisms,including cellular depletion or functional reprogramming,thereby effectively impeding tumor progression.This review systematically analyzes the intricate immune regulatory mechanisms of macrophages in tumor immunotherapy and synthesizes research advancements in major therapeutic agents targeting TAMs,aiming to provide researchers in the field of tumor immunotherapy and developers of macrophage-modulating pharmaceuticals with novel theoretical insights and practical guidelines.

Objective:To compare the differences in postoperative upper airway morphology and sleep apnea improvement between low temperature plasma ablation(LTPA)and traditional adenoidectomy(TAC)for severe adenoid hypertrophy in children.Methods:A total of 80 children with severe adenoid hypertrophy combined with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2024 were randomly divided into two groups:LTPA group and TAC group,each with 40 cases.The study compared the upper airway morphological parameters(nasopharyngeal transverse diameter,sagittal diameter,nasopharyngeal airway volume,etc.),degree of OSAHS symptom improvement(apnea-hypopnea index,lowest blood oxygen saturation,etc.),intraoperative bleeding volume,surgical time,postoperative pain score,and incidence of postoperative complications in both groups before surgery,one week after surgery,one month after surgery,and three months after surgery.Results:The intraoperative blood loss in the LTPA group was significantly less than that in the TAC group,and the operation time was shorter(P<0.05).Follow-up at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months postoperatively showed that both groups had significant improvements in upper airway morphology parameters compared to preoperative conditions.The increase in transverse diameter,sagittal diameter,and nasopharyngeal airway volume in the LTPA group was greater than in the TAC group(P<0.05).Both groups also showed significant improvements in sleep-related breathing disorders,with a greater reduction in apnea-hypopnea index in the LTPA group compared to the TAC group(P<0.05).Postoperative pain scores were lower in the LTPA group than in the TAC group(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications such as bleeding and nasopharyngeal stenosis was significantly lower in the LTPA group than in the TAC group(P<0.05).Conclusions:Compared with traditional adenoid curettage,low temperature plasma ablation has the advantages of less surgical trauma,less intraoperative bleeding,less postoperative pain,better recovery of upper airway morphology and more significant improvement of sleep apnea in children with severe adenoid hypertrophy,and can be used as the preferred surgical mode for treating severe adenoid hypertrophy.
