Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and effectiveness of emergency responses to epidemic foci in Guangzhou City in 2024, so as to optimization of the dengue fever control strategy in Guangzhou City. Methods All data pertaining to dengue fever cases in Guangzhou City in 2024 were collected from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Surveillance Information Reporting System. The temporal, spatial and population distributions of dengue fever cases and sources of infections were descriptively analyzed, and the effectiveness of emergency responses to epidemic foci of dengue fever was evaluated through standard space index (SSI), the interval from disease onset to case reporting and the percentage of isolation in hospital. Results A total of 3 656 dengue fever cases were reported in Guangzhou City in 2024, including 3 102 local cases and 554 imported cases. Of all cases, 67.86% (2 481 cases) occurred at ages of 20 to 59 years, and the three most common occupations included housework/unemployment (793 cases, 21.69%), business servants (744 cases, 20.35%) and retirees (669 cases, 18.30%). The peak of dengue fever epidemics was concentrated during the period from the 39th to the 45th weeks in 2024, when a total of 2 317 local cases were reported, accounting for 74.69% of all local cases in 2024. Dengue fever cases were reported across all 11 districts in Guangzhou City in 2024, with local cases concentrated in Baiyun District (754 cases, 24.31%), Liwan District (398 cases, 12.83%), Panyu District (365 cases, 11.77%), Haizhu District (332 cases, 10.70%) and Tianhe District (328 cases, 10.57%). Imported dengue fever cases were predominantly domestically imported (492 cases, 88.81%), with the majority imported from Foshan City (377 cases), and overseas imported cases were predominantly imported from southeastern Asian countries. The mean proportion of case isolation in hospital was 9.16% (284/3 102), and the mean interval from disease onset to case reporting was (3.99 ± 2.70) days, while the percentages of mosquito density meeting the required standard were 61.68% (462/ 749) and 66.32% (126/190) on the 4th and 7th day of emergency responses to epidemic foci, respectively. Conclusions The prevention and control cycle of dengue fever in Guangzhou in 2024 took longer than in previous years, with a larger scale of the epidemic. Although some progress has been made in epidemic management, there are still problems such as unsustainable mosquito vector control and low hospitalization isolation rates for cases. Further optimization of control measures in mosquito vector control, case monitoring and management is required to improve the effectiveness of dengue fever control measures.

Bloodstream infection(BSI)is a common infectious complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT).Due to immunosuppression,the HSCT patients are predisposed to develop BSI,and once complicating drug resistant bacterial infections,the clinical prognosis is extremely poor,which seri-ously affects the long-term survival of the patients.In recent years,with the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics,there have been important changes in the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic resist-ance patterns of BSI in HSCT patients.BSI caused by MDR bacteria shows the increasing trend year by year,which has become a very problematic issue in the global anti-infection treatment.Therefore,a timely summary of the latest advance in the epidemiology of bacterial BSI,antibiotic prevention and treatment strategies and management of MDR bacteria infection in HSCT patients has an important significance for optimizing the anti-infective treatment and improving the overall graft effect in the patients.

Under the influence of long-term space flights and the confined space environment,it is very easy to induce space depression syndrome,mainly manifested as decreased emotional stability,sleep disorders,mental fatigue,etc.,which seriously affect the living conditions and working abilities of astronauts.The current treatment methods mainly focus on psychological support and drug intervention.Acupuncture has a good effect in treating depression.Therefore,starting from the TCM pathogenesis and modern medical pathogenesis of aerospace depression syndrome,we conducted literature retrieval from databases such as the Chinese Medical Classic,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,and Web of science.For the included literature,we adopted the stratified evidence scoring method and combined the TCM mechanism and modern medical mechanism of the effect of acupuncture.A prescription for acupuncture points was constructed to provide a basis for selecting acupuncture points for the prevention of aerospace depression syndrome through acupuncture.

Objective To analyze the correlation between inflammatory factors and bone mineral density(BMD)as well as β-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen(β-CTX)in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the inflammatory factors in postmenopausal T2DM patients with osteoporosis(OP).Methods A total of 538 postmenopausal women with T2DM,hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology at the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from October 1,2023 to August 31,2024,were screened,and 181 were ultimately included in the study.Based on bone mineral density,they were divided into the osteopenia group(86 patients,-2.51,B>0),while BMI was an independent protective factor for the occurrence of OP(OR<1,B<0);(4)ROC curve analysis showed that CRP,IL-6,NLR,MLR,and SII all demonstrated diagnostic efficacy for postmenopausal T2DM patients with osteoporosis,among which the combined detection model of CRP,IL-6,and SII exhibited the highest diagnostic efficacy.Conclusion Inflammatory markers are correlated with bone mineral density and β-CTX levels,and may have predictive value for diagnosing osteoporosis in postmenopausal T2DM patients.

【Objective】 To investigate asymptomatic infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV) among hepatitis B vaccinated donors in Shenzhen, and analyze its serological and molecular characteristics. 【Methods】 The HBsAg ELISA positive blood samples of blood donors born after 1992 were collected. HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc were further detected by Roche electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECL). BCP/PC and S regions were amplified by Nested-PCRs, HBV DNA quantification were adopted by qPCR simultaneously, and the sequences were also analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 46 632 blood samples of donors(31 612 males and 15 020 females) from December 2020 to January 2022 collected, and 99 samples with HBsAg ELISA positive were screened out. After tested by ECL, Nested-PCRs, and real-time fluorescence PCR, 61 were confirmed HBsAg positive, with the positive rate at 0.13% (61/46 632), including 49 males (0.16%, 49/31 612) and 12 females (0.08%, 12/15 020). The HBsAg positive rate of males was higher than that of females (P<0.05). 50 out of 61 sequences for S region were obtained. By phylogenetic analysis, there were 46 cases of type B (92%, 46/50, 38 males and 8 females), 4 cases of type C (8%, 4/50, 3 males and 1 female). The high frequency mutations observed in S region were N40S (8/46,17.39%), G44E (7/46,15.22%), Q129H/R(6/46,13.04%), Y161F/S(7/46, 15.22%), V179A(4/46,8.70%), S53L(2/4,50%), C69T(2/4,50%) and I126S/T(2/4,50%), including the immune escape mutations Q129R and T/I126A/N/S/T. 【Conclusion】 Hepatitis B vaccination can significantly reduce the positive rate of HBsAg and increase the safety of blood transfusion. The high frequency immune escape mutations have become a potential risk of blood safety, and need to be further explored.

The combination of sourness,bitterness,sweetness,pungency,and saltness results in different effects.Through the analysis of the theory of combining five flavours in Fu Qingzhu's Obstetrics and Gynecology,this article explores its application in formulation ideas and the characteristics of Chinese medication,summarized as"primarily sweet,with all four flavors harmonized".FU Qingzhu emphasizes the central role of sweet-flavour medicine in facilitating conception,while incorporating the other four flavours in synergy.For instance,sweet and pungent flavours can boost yang energy,eliminating chilliness and warming the uterus;sour and sweet flavours can nourish yin essence and protect the uterus;bitter and sweet flavours can tonify yin,supporting the kidneys and moistening the uterus;and pungent and salty flavours can eliminate stasis,regenerate blood,and enhance uterine functions.By flexibly utilizing the flavours and meridian affinity of traditional Chinese medicine,along with the theory of combining five flavours,it is possible to enhance drug compatibility,deepen the theoretical connotation of Chinese formulas,and regulate the uterus from both yin and yang aspects to facilitate conception.FU Qingzhu's integration of multiple Chinese formulas into a single formula allows for comprehensive treatment.Clear differentiation of dosages within the formula highlights the primary and secondary relationships of traditional Chinese medicines.Additionally,the utilization of pharmaceutical processing techniques optimizes efficacy and regulates meridians and collaterals.This article explores FU Qingzhu's application of the"pure and harmonious traditional Chinese medicines"theory.His prescription thinking enables the attainment of multi-level therapeutic effects,which greatly benefits the optimization of traditional Chinese medicine fertility assistance programs and increases pregnancy rates among infertility patients.

Endometriosis is a prevalent disease in gynecology. The symptoms of endometriosis are challenging to treat,affect various organs,and persist in the body,adversely impacting patients' quality of life. Endometriosis-related fibrosis is a primary cause of dysmenorrhea,infertility,and chronic pelvic pain,which represents the main pathological feature of endometriosis. Traditional Chinese medicine identifies blood stasis as the primary pathological basis of endometriosis,emphasizing the use of treatments to promote blood circulation and resolve stasis. The traditional Chinese medicine theory,"coldness produces turbid yin",suggests that coldness plays a crucial role in the formation of blood stasis and damp phlegm. Coldness is harmful to yang qi,leading to the accumulation of blood stasis and damp phlegm in the body,which can cause endometriosis. Based on this theory,the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis were discussed in stages. "Strong coldness coagulation is blood stasis,turbidity generating abdominal masses" is the first etiological factor. The progress stage is "yang qi deficiency is difficult to resolve cold blood stasis,and fibrosis is formed over a long period". According to the pathogenesis characteristics at different stages,the treatment concept for endometriosis is warming yang to resolve turbidity and blood stasis. During the initial stage of disease treatment,the treatment principle is primarily based on dispersing cold,activating blood circulation,and removing damp phlegm and blood stasis. The primary treatment is to improve yang qi to dissipate turbidity and circulate blood,and eliminate stasis to reduce abdominal masses if endometriosis is challenging to treat over a long period. In conclusion,endometriosis can be treated when blood stasis and damp phlegm are dissipated,and endometriosis-related fibrosis can be treated to clear abdominal masses when yang qi is filling the body.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of parental emotional regulation(ER)and its influence on the ER of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods:A total of 140 children with ADHD meeting the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)criteria and their parents,68 normal controls and their parents were recruited.ER was assessed using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale(DERS),Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ)and Emotion Regulation Checklist(ERC).Re-sults:Higher scores of DERS in emotion regulation strategies,impulse control and goal-directed behavior were found in parents of children with ADHD compared with parents of normal controls(Ps＜0.05).The higher emo-tional lability(EL)of ERC and lower ER of ERC detected in children with ADHD were correlated with the emo-tion regulation strategies,impulse control and goal-directed behavior of their parents(Ps＜0.01).The mediation an-alyses suggested that ER in children with ADHD may mediate the relationship of parental emotion regulation strate-gies and parental impulse control with children's EL.Conclusion:Parents of children with ADHD may exhibit emo-tional dysregulation in multiple subdimensions which might affect emotional regulation and aggravate the emotional lability of children with ADHD.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of dengue fever in Guangzhou and provide a scientific basis for dengue fever prevention and control. Methods　The data of dengue cases in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province reported between 2019 and 2023, were retrieved from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Cross-sectional analysis was used to describe the temporal, spatial, and demographic distribution, and analyze the epidemiological characteristics. Results　A total of 3 518 cases of dengue fever were reported in Guangzhou from 2019 to 2023, including 3 101 local cases (88.15%) and 417 imported cases (11.85%). The annual average incidence rate ranged from 0.09 to 17.59 per 100 000 population. Imported dengue fever cases were reported in all months, with the peak reported from May to November (374 cases, 89.69%). Local cases were first reported in May and the last in December, with the highest incidence from August to November (2 960 cases, 95.45%). The cases were reported in all 11 administrative districts; the top three were Baiyun District, Yuexiu District, and Liwan District. Male and female cases accounted for 53.52% and 46.48%, respectively; the age group mainly concentrated between 20-<60 years (2 547 cases, 72.40%). The top three occupations were business services (784 cases), housework and unemployment (738 cases), and retirees (596 cases). The average time from onset to diagnosis for local cases was 4.06 days, and 4.60 days for imported cases. The overseas imported cases mainly came from Southeast Asia 88.10%(311/353), with the most being imported from Cambodia. Cases imported from other provinces mainly came from Yunnan Province, and cases imported from other cities within the province mainly came from Foshan City. Conclusions　In recent years, the incidence of dengue fever in Guangzhou has remained at a high level, with obvious imported and seasonal characteristics. Relevant departments should pay attention to key populations and take effective measures to reduce the density of mosquito vectors, and strictly prevent the spread of dengue fever.

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a fatal heart disease characterized by fibroadipocytic replacement of cardiac myocytes, accounts for 20% of sudden cardiac death and lacks effective treatment. It is often caused by mutations in desmosome proteins, with Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) mutations as a common etiology. However, the mechanism underlying the accumulation of fibrofatty in ACM remains unknown, which impedes the development of curative treatment. Here we investigated the fat accumulation and the underlying mechanism in a mouse model of ACM induced by cardiac-specific knockout of Dsg2 (CS-Dsg2 ^-/-). Heart failure and cardiac lipid accumulation were observed in CS-Dsg2 ^-/- mice. We demonstrated that these phenotypes were caused by decline of fatty acid (FA) β-oxidation resulted from impaired mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. Rapamycin worsened while overexpression of mTOR and 4EBP1 rescued the FA β-oxidation pathway in CS-Dsg2 ^-/- mice. Reactivation of PPARα by fenofibrate or AAV9-Pparα significantly alleviated the lipid accumulation and restored cardiac function. Our results suggest that impaired mTOR-4EBP1-PPARα-dependent FA β-oxidation contributes to myocardial lipid accumulation in ACM and PPARα may be a potential target for curative treatment of ACM.
