Objective To understand mosquito density, species composition, and seasonal variations around the Beijing Capital International Airport(BCIA)and provide scientific evidence for mosquito-borne disease prevention and control. Methods Meteorological data were collected from 2016 to 2022, and mosquito density was monitored at seven surveillance sites around the BCIA from May to October each year using CO2-baited mosquito traps to analyze the relationship between mosquito density and meteorological factors. Results In total,68 518 female mosquitoes were captured, with a mosquito density of 10.20 per light · hour. The dominant species was Culex pipiens pallens(73.90%), followed by Aedes albopictus(9.71%)and Ae. vexans(9.29%);the mosquito density was highest in 2016(14.8 per light·hour)and lowest in 2022(4.46 per light·hour). Significant statistical differences were observed in mosquito density among different species(F=18.118, P<0.05). The density of Cx. pipiens pallens and other mosquito species showed a mutually exclusive trend; the peak of mosquito density varied based on years and habitats, with significant statistical differences in mosquito density among different habitats(F=8.504, P<0.05). The highest mosquito density was observed near the Wenyu River(21.50 per light·hour), whereas the lowest was recorded at the BCIA construction site(2.44 per light· hour). The monthly average temperature(r=0.595), monthly average highest temperature(r=0.575), and monthly average lowest temperature(r=0.624)showed moderate positive correlations, whereas the monthly average air pressure(r=-0.484)showed a moderate negative correlation. The monthly average minimum temperature was included in the regression model(F=25.575, P<0.000), and the equation Y=1.029X4-8.181 was used. The monthly average air pressure 2 months prior(b=-2.418, β=-1.619, P<0.05)and the monthly average relative humidity(b=-0.739, β=-1.201, P<0.05)significantly negatively predicted the mosquito density. Notably, the regression equation used was y=2526.170+(-2.418)X9+(-0.739)X13. The exposure-response analysis revealed that the density of mosquitoes was not linearly related to the average monthly air pressure, rainfall, and duration of sunshine. Conclusions The dominant mosquito species around the BCIA was Cx. pipiens pallens, Ae. albopictus, and Ae. vexans. During the control of Cx. pipiens pallens, the impact on other mosquito species must also be considered. Environmental management, breeding sites, and scientific use of pesticides should be prioritized based on the activity periods of mosquitoes. Further studies on mosquitoes and meteorological factors should be conducted to provide references and novel avenues for mosquito control.

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the correlation between balance function and core muscle activation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), compared to healthy individuals.
Methods:
A total of 24 AIS patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. The limits of stability (LOS) test were conducted to assess balance function, while surface electromyography was used to measure the activity of core muscles, including the internal oblique, external oblique, and multifidus. Diaphragm thickness was measured using ultrasound during different postural tasks. Center of pressure (COP) displacement and trunk inclination distance were also recorded during the LOS test.
Results:
AIS patients showed significantly greater activation of superficial core muscles, such as the internal and external oblique muscles, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Diaphragm activation was lower in AIS patients during balance tasks (p < 0.01). Although no significant difference was observed in COP displacement between the groups, trunk inclination was significantly greater in the AIS group during certain tasks (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
These findings suggest distinct postural control patterns in AIS patients, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions to improve balance and core muscle function in this population.

Objective:To explore the association of blood and urinary cadmium levels with lipid profile levels and dyslipidemia in Chinese adults aged 18 to 79 years.Methods:Based on the China National Human Biomonitoring (CNHBM) program, a cross-sectional survey was conducted from 2017 to 2018 using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method, including a total of 10 713 adults aged 18 to 79 years. Data was obtained through questionnaires, physical examinations, biological sample collection, and laboratory testing. Multiple linear mixed effect model (MLMM) and generalized linear mixed effect model (GLMM) were used to analyze the association of blood and creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels with lipid profile levels as well as dyslipidemia among adults.Results:The age of 10 713 participants was (47.23±0.24) years, with 5 372 males accounting for 61.3% of the national population. The weighted mean±standard error (SE) of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was (5.21±0.03), (1.86±0.03), (2.96±0.03), and (1.43±0.01) mmol/L, respectively. The prevalence rate of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C was 16.0%, 21.6%, 6.6%, 13.5%, and 10.0%, respectively. MLMM showed that, after adjusting for relevant confounders, log-transformed blood cadmium levels were positively associated with increased levels of TC, TG and LDL-C ( P<0.05). When blood cadmium levels were categorized into quartiles, compared to the lowest exposure group ( Q1), participants in the highest blood cadmium exposure group ( Q4) had increases of 0.19 (95% CI: 0.06, 0.32) mmol/L in TC and 0.25 (95% CI: 0.08, 0.43) mmol/L in TG. GLMM indicated that, after adjusting for confounders, higher blood cadmium exposure levels were associated with increased risks of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, and high LDL-C ( P<0.05). Further analysis by quartiles showed that, compared to the blood cadmium Q1 exposure group, the OR value (95% CI) for the Q4 group was 1.53 (1.12, 2.08) for hypercholesterolemia, 1.54 (1.09, 2.17) for hypertriglyceridemia, 2.24 (1.47, 3.40) for mixed hyperlipidemia, and 1.49 (1.07, 2.09) for high LDL-C. Conclusion:The cadmium internal exposure levels are associated with blood lipid profile levels as well as the incidence of dyslipidemia in Chinese adults aged 18 to 79.

BACKGROUND:Cross-sectional area and fat infiltration are the standard parameters for quantifying paravertebral muscle,but it is too cumbersome and time-consuming to introduce new quantifying indicators. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between paravertebral muscle and spinopelvic sagittal parameters and the predictive value of lumbar indentation value for sagittal balance in patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis.METHODS:The study included 87 patients diagnosed with spondylolisthesis,all of whom had grade Ⅱ spondylolisthesis according to Meyerding classification,including 40 males and 47 females,with a mean age of (51.4±9.1) years. The sagittal vertical axis,pelvic incidence angle,pelvic inclination angle,sacral inclination angle,lumbar lordosis,thoracic kyphosis,and the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis were measured. The total cross-sectional area,functional cross-sectional area,and fat infiltration of lumbar paracolateral muscles were measured. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between sagittal parameters and paravertebral muscle measurements. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the effects of lumbar indentation value,age,sex,and body mass index on spinopelvic sagittal balance. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to find the best cut-off point of the indentation value of the lumbar spine,and the relationship of sagittal vertical axis and pelvic incidence with lumbar lordosis was evaluated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) According to Pearson correlation analysis,the total cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle was significantly correlated with lumbar lordosis (r=0.464,P<0.01) and the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis (r=-0.306,P<0.01). The functional cross-sectional area of multifidus muscle was significantly correlated with lumbar lordosis (r=0.367,P<0.01) and the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis (r=-0.228,P<0.05). The indentation value of lumbar spine was significantly correlated with the sagittal vertical axis (r=-0.300,P<0.01),lumbar lordosis(P=0.417,P<0.01),thoracic kyphosis (r=0.351,P<0.01),and the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis (r=-0.319,P<0.01). (2) According to multiple linear regression analysis,the indentation value of lumbar spine was independently correlated with the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis and the sagittal vertical axis. 55% (11/20) of patients with lumbar indentation value ≤11.5 mm had sagittal vertical axis ≤ 50 mm,while 96%(64/67) of patients with lumbar indentation value>11.5 mm had sagittal vertical axis ≤ 50 mm. 30% (6/20) of patients with the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis ≤ 11.5 mm had the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis ≤ 10°,while 66% (44/67) of patients with lumbar indentation value>11.5 mm had the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis ≤ 10°. (3) It is concluded that both total cross-sectional area and functional cross-sectional area were significantly correlated with lumbar lordosis and the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis. Lumbar indentation value,as a new indicator for the evaluation of paravertebral degeneration,was independently correlated with the sagittal vertical axis and the difference between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis,and had certain predictive value for postoperative sagittal plane correction. It was a simple and practical method for the evaluation of spinopelvic sagittal plane and paravertebral muscle degeneration. The degeneration of the paravertebral muscle is related to spinopelvic sagittal balance.
