Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness for the construction of the "mosquito-free village" in Jinzishan Village, Fuling District, Chongqing Municipality, so as to provide references for improving mosquito control practices in hilly and mountainous rural areas. Methods: The "mosquito-free village" initiative in Fuling District was launched in April 2023. Mosquito density monitoring was conducted annually from April to October. Larval mosquito density was monitored using the path method and scoop-catch method, and adult mosquito density was monitored using human-baited landing catch. One hundred and fifty-two villagers were randomly conducted before the "mosquito-free village" construction (April 2023) and one hundred and sixty-seven villagers were randomly conducted after the construction (November 2024). Knowledge awareness rate and correct behavioral practices regarding mosquito control among villagers were assessed. The satisfaction among villagers were evaluated in November 2024. The effectiveness of the initiative was evaluated based on mosquito density data, health education outcomes from 2023 to 2024, and satisfaction. Results: The average larval mosquitoes path index in Jinshanzi Village decreased from 1.50 spots/km in 2023 to 0.07 spots/km in 2024 (P<0.05). The average sampling spoon index of larval mosquitoes decreased from 3.43% in 2023 to 0 in 2024. The average landing rate index of adult mosquitoes decreased from 3.90 mosquitoes/(person·time) in 2023 to 0.38 mosquitoes/(person·time) in 2024 (P<0.05). The awareness rate of mosquito control knowledge and the formation rate of correct behaviors among villagers increased from 59.87% and 57.24% in 2023 to 92.22% and 90.42% in 2024, respectively (both P<0.05). In 2024, the satisfaction of villagers was 92.81%. Conclusion The mosquito density, health education effectiveness, and satisfaction of villagers in Jinzishan Village have all met the evaluation criteria for a "mosquito-free village", providing a replicable model for promotion in hilly and mountainous rural areas.

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.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between postoperative delirium (POD) and concentrations of phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1 (PEBP1) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of elderly patients undergoing total knee and hip arthroplasty.Methods:In this case-control study, 375 elderly patients of both sexes, aged ≥65 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective total knee and hip arthroplasty under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia at Haian Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from November 2022 to June 2024, were selected. The perioperative clinical data were collected. CSF was drawn before anaesthesia for determination of the concentrations of PEBP1, Abeta 42 (Aβ 42), total tau (t-tau) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The occurrence of postoperative delirium was evaluated using the Confusion Assessment Method at 1-7 days after operation. The severity of POD was assessed using a Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale. The patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group based on whether POD occurred. The influencing factors of POD were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Mediating effects were assessed to determine whether the levels of Aβ 42, p-tau and t-tau in CSF mediated PEBP1′s effect on POD. The accuracy of CSF PEBP1 concentration in predicting POD was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results:Decreased concentration of Aβ 42 in CSF, decreased ratios of Aβ 42/p-tau and Aβ 42/t-tau in CSF, and increased concentrations of PEBP1, p-tau and t-tau in CSF were independent risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). The results of mediation analysis showed that the relationship between PEBP1 and POD was partially mediated by CSF Aβ 42 (15.0%) and Aβ 42/t-tau ratio (14.9%). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the accuracy of CSF PEBP1 concentrations in predicting the occurrence of POD was high (AUC=0.846, P<0.001). Conclusions:Preoperative elevated CSF PEBP1 concentration is a risk factor for POD. CSF Aβ 42 concentration and Aβ 42/t-tau ratio serve as key mediators in the the association between PEBP1 and POD. PEBP1 concentration is more accurate in predicting POD.

Jiuwei Xifeng Granules have become a Chinese patent medicine in the market. Because the formula contains Os Draconis, a top-level protected fossil of ancient organisms, the formula was to be improved by replacing Os Draconis with Ostreae Concha. To evaluate whether the improved formula has the same effectiveness and safety as the original formula, a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, equivalence clinical trial was conducted. This study enrolled 288 tic disorder(TD) of children and assigned them into two groups in 1∶1. The treatment group and control group took the modified formula and original formula, respectively. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks, and follow-up visits were conducted at weeks 2, 4, and 6. The primary efficacy endpoint was the difference in Yale global tic severity scale(YGTSS)-total tic severity(TTS) score from baseline after 6 weeks of treatment. The results showed that after 6 weeks of treatment, the declines in YGTSS-TSS score showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The difference in YGTSS-TSS score(treatment group-control group) and the 95%CI of the full analysis set(FAS) were-0.17[-1.42, 1.08] and those of per-protocol set(PPS) were 0.29[-0.97, 1.56], which were within the equivalence boundary [-3, 3]. The equivalence test was therefore concluded. The two groups showed no significant differences in the secondary efficacy endpoints of effective rate for TD, total score and factor scores of YGTSS, clinical global impressions-severity(CGI-S) score, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) response rate, or symptom disappearance rate, and thus a complete evidence chain with the primary outcome was formed. A total of 6 adverse reactions were reported, including 4(2.82%) cases in the treatment group and 2(1.41%) cases in the control group, which showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. No serious suspected unexpected adverse reactions were reported, and no laboratory test results indicated serious clinically significant abnormalities. The results support the replacement of Os Draconis by Ostreae Concha in the original formula, and the efficacy and safety of the modified formula are consistent with those of the original formula.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula on the neuroinflammation of rats with insomnia complicated with depression through the regulation of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2)/complement protein C1q signaling pathway. Rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a positive drug group, as well as a high, medium, and low-dose groups of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the other groups were injected with p-chlorophenylalanine and exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress to establish the rat model of insomnia complicated with depression. The sucrose preference experiment, open field experiment, and water maze test were performed to evaluate the depression in rats. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to detect serum 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT), dopamine(DA), and norepinephrine(NE) levels. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Nissl staining were used to observe the damage in nucleus accumbens neurons. Western blot and immunofluorescence were performed to detect TREM2, C1q, postsynaptic density 95(PSD-95), and synaptophysin 1(SYN1) expressions in rat nucleus accumbens, respectively. Golgi-Cox staining was utilized to observe the synaptic spine density of nucleus accumbens neurons. The results show that, compared with the model group, Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can significantly increase the sucrose preference as well as the distance and number of voluntary activities, shorten the immobility time in forced swimming test and the successful incubation period of positioning navigation, and prolong the stay time of space exploration in the target quadrant test. The serum 5-HT, DA, and NE contents in the model group are significantly lower than those in the normal group, with the above contents significantly increased after the intervention of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula. In addition, Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can alleviate pathological damages such as swelling and loose arrangement of tissue cells in the nucleus accumbens, while increasing the Nissl body numbers. Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can improve synaptic damage in the nucleus accumbens and increase the synaptic spine density. Compared to the normal group, the expression of C1q protein was significantly higher in the model group, while the expression of TREM2 protein was significantly lower. Compared to the model group, the intervention with Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula significantly downregulated the expression of C1q protein and significantly upregulated the expression of TREM2. Compared with the model group, the PSD-95 and SYN1 fluorescence intensity is significantly increased in the groups receiving different doses of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula. In summary, Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can reduce the C1q protein expression, relieve the TREM2 inhibition, and promote the synapse-related proteins PSD-95 and SNY1 expression. Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula improves synaptic injury of the nucleus accumbens neurons, thereby treating insomnia complicated with depression.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of the natural compound hesperidin in glycolysis, the key ratelimiting enzyme, in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. METHODS: In vitro, HCT116 and SW620 were treated with different doses of hesperidin (0-500 µmol/L), cell counting kit-8 and colone formation assays were utilized to detected inhibition effect of hesperidin on CRC cell lines. Transwell and wound healing assays were performed to detect the ability of hesperidin (0, 25, 50 and 75 µmol/L) to migrate CRC cells. To confirm the apoptotic-inducing effect of hesperidin, apoptosis and cycle assays were employed. Western blot, glucose uptake, and lactate production determination measurements were applied to determine inhibitory effects of hesperidin (0, 25 and 50 µmol/L) on glycolysis. In vivo, according to the random number table method, nude mice with successful tumor loading were randomly divided into vehicle, low-dose hesperidin (20 mg/kg) and high-dose hesperidin (60 mg/kg) groups, with 6 mice in each group. The body weights and tumor volumes of mice were recorded during 4-week treatment. The expression of key glycolysis rate-limiting enzymes was determined using Western blot, and glucose uptake and lactate production were assessed. Finally, protein interactions were probed with DirectDIA Quantitative Proteomics, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. RESULTS: Hesperidin could inhibit CRC cell line growth (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Moreover, hesperidin presented an inhibitory effect on the migrating abilities of CRC cells. Hesperidin also promoted apoptosis and cell cycle alterations (P<0.05). The immunoblotting results manifested that hesperidin decreased the levels of hexokinase 2, glucose transporter protein 1 (GLUT1), GLUT3, L-lactate dehydrogenase A, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 2 (PFKFB2), PFKFB3, and pyruvate kinase isozymes M2 (P<0.01). It remarkably suppressed tumor xenograft growth in nude mice. GO and KEGG analyses showed that hesperidin treatment altered metabolic function. CONCLUSION Hesperidin inhibits glycolysis and is a potential therapeutic choice for CRC treatment.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.
