It is expected to guide the rational drug use in medical and health institutions， give full play to the unique value of Qinbaohong Zhike oral liquid， and vigorously promote the inheritance and innovation of Chinese patent medicines.

Rodents in China encompass diverse species with wide distributions,and carry an array of pathogens,thus posing substantial risks to human health and safety.In this paper,the literatures related to rodent—carrying pathogens in China were screened and analyzed from databases such as CNKI,Wanfang Database,Google Scholar,and Pubmed.An analysis of surveil-lance data for bacterial pathogens borne by these rodents revealed the presence of 19 distinct pathogens,including Yersinia pes-tis,Bartonella,and Borrelia burgdorferi,across 30 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities.Notably,positive tests for 15 of these bacterial pathogens were observed in Yunnan Province,whereas Bartonella was detected in 28 provinces.The survey encompassed a total of 107 rodent species,84 of which were classified as Rodentia,representing 78.50％of the to-tal.Among these,82 species were found to be carriers of Bartonella.This comprehensive analysis and synthesis of surveillance data on rodent-borne bacterial pathogens provided not only insights into pathogen prevalence and distribution across regions,but also a valuable resource for the development of early warning systems and strategies for the prevention and control of disea-ses transmitted by rodents.

Aging is comprehensively influenced by multiple fac-tors such as internal genes,cellular metabolism,external envi-ronment,and lifestyle habits.Among them,epigenetic regula-tion plays a core role.Epigenetic modifications,including DNA methylation,histone modification,heterochromatin remodeling,and non-coding RNA regulation,act in concert with the three-di-mensional genome architecture to precisely regulate gene expres-sion.This review elaborates on the factors influencing epigenetic regulation,as well as the mechanisms of how epigenetics affects the occurrence of organismal aging and the corresponding inter-vention strategies,providing relevant insights for uncovering the mechanisms of aging and preventing/treating aging-related disea-ses.

Objective To explore the relationship between dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)and clinical pathological features of invasive breast cancer and lymphovascular invasion(LVI).Methods Imaging and clinical pathological data were retrospectively collected from 508 patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent breast DCE-MRI at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2019 to August 2021.Patients were divided into the LVI-positive(LVI+)group(n=79)and LVI-negative(LVI-)group(n=429)based on postoperative pathological results.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for LVI.Results Compared with LVI-group,LVI+group had a higher proportion of patients aged<45 years(44.3%vs.27.0%,P=0.002),non-mass-like enhancement(NME)(31.7%vs.17.7%,P=0.004),Ki-67 expression rate(40.0%vs.30.0%,P<0.001),high Ki-67 expression(94.9%vs.78.1%,P=0.001),Luminal B subtype(76.0%vs.60.1%,P=0.008),and positive axillary lymph nodes rate(72.2%vs.31.5%,P<0.001),while the proportion of Luminal A subtype was lower(2.5%vs.21.5%,P<0.001).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age≥45 years(OR=0.468,95%CI 0.280-0.783,P=0.004)was an independent protective factor for LVI,while NME(OR=1.987,95%CI 1.126-3.444,P=0.016)was an independent risk factor.Compared with Luminal A subtype,patients with Luminal B subtype(OR=10.482,95%CI 3.164-64.923,P=0.001),HER-2 overexpression subtype(OR=11.571,95%CI 2.755-79.341,P=0.003)and triple-negative subtypes(OR=8.433,95%CI 1.985-57.908,P=0.009)had a higher risk of LVI.Conclusions Age≥45 years is an independent protective factor for LVI,while NME is an independent risk factor.Among molecular subtypes,patients with Luminal B,HER-2 overexpression and triple-negative subtypes have a higher risk of LVI compared with the Luminal A subtype.

Objective This study aimed to provide an effective scientific basis for prevention and control of cockroaches on aircrafts by identifying cockroach-carried pathogens,and assess the insecticidal efficacy of gel bait mediated cockroach control on aircrafts,to provide technical guidance for aircraft disinsection.Methods Cassette-trapping was used to trap cockroaches,and the carried pathogens were detected using bacterial cultivation techniques.The gel bait mediated killing rate was calculated after 1,7,and 30 d by field application of gel bait.Results A total of 411 cockroaches were captured,and all were identified as Blattella germanica.26 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from the trapped cockroaches.The killing rates of cockroaches were 58.8％-96.3％with 1-30 day application of gel bait.Statistically significant differences were observed in cockroach killing rates on different days(χ2=58.95,P<0.01).Conclusions B.germanica carry a large variety of pathogenic bacteria and opportunistic pathogens and are thus important infectious disease carriers.Gel bait agents have proven to be very effective against cockroaches on aircrafts.

Objective To explore the value of combining apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)heterogeneity with morphological indicators in assessing the pathological grading of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC).Methods The MRI images of 86 patients confirmed with NMIBC by surgical pathology were analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent T2WI,diffusion weighted ima-ging(DWI),and dynamic contrast enhancement(DCE)examinations.Two radiologists independently measured tumor largest diam-eter(LD),actual tumor-wall contact length(ACTCL),ADCmean,ADCmin,and ADCmax values.ADC heterogeneity was calculated using the formula(ADCmax-ADCmin)/ADCmean.Differences in quantitative parameters between low-and high-grade NMIBC were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test,while differences in qualitative parameters were compared using the chi-square test.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent predictors of high-grade NMIBC,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to evaluate the performance of ADC heterogeneity combined with morphological indicators in assessing high-grade NMIBC.Results ADC heterogeneity and ACTCL were independent predictors for preoperative assessment of NMIBC pathological grading.The area under the curve(AUC)of ADC heterogeneity and ACTCL in assessing high-grade NMIBC were 0.843 and 0.744,respectively.The combined AUC was 0.902.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of ADC heterogeneity with ACTCL can effectively improve the efficiency of preoperative assessment of NMIBC pathological grading,and providing more precise clinical decision-making and prognosis monitoring.

As an important endocrine organ of human body,adipose tissue secrets a large amount of endocrine fac-tors that regulate a variety of physiological functions,and role of adiponectin in cardiovascular system is especially important.At the cellular and molecular level,adiponectin possesses profound anti-inflammatory,anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects,which can reduce various pathogenic factors of cardiovascular diseases(CVD).In ad-vanced stage of CVD,the expression of adiponectin in adipose tissue as well as its circulating level compensatively increased.Therefore,adiponectin has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system,and increased adiponectin level may suggest severe CVD.In this review article,we systematically introduced the role of adiponectin in CVD and discussed its application prospects as a clinical biomarker.
