Objective To investigate the population density and seasonal fluctuations of Aedes albopictus in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, from 2021 to 2023, so as to provide insights into A. albopictus control and management of dengue fever. Methods The surveillance of A. albopictus density was performed in all surveillance sites assigned across all streets (townships) in Guangzhou City during the period from January to December from 2021 to 2023. The surveillance frequency was twice every half month from May to September, and once every month for the rest of a year. In each surveillance period, A. albopictus mosquito larvae were captured from indoor and outdoor small water containers in residential areas, parks, medical facilities, schools, other government sectors and social organizations, construction sites, special industries and others for mosquito species identification. Adult mosquitoes were captured using electric mosquito suction apparatus for species identification and gender classification. Adult mosquitoes and mosquito eggs were collected with mosquito and egg traps at the breeding and dwelling places of Aedes mosquitoes for identification. The mosquito oviposition index (MOI), Breteau index (BI), adult mosquito density index (ADI) and standard space index (SSI) were calculated. The A. albopictus density was classified into grades 0, 1, 2 and 3 in each surveillance site, with Grade 0 density defined eligible, and the eligible rate of A. albopictus density was calculated at all surveillance sites each year from 2021 to 2023. In addition, the changing trends in MOI, SSI, BI and ADI of A. albopictus were analyzed in Guangzhou City from 2021 to 2023. Results The eligible rates of A. albopictus density were 61.69%, 68.75% and 55.15% in surveillance sites of Guangzhou City from 2021 to 2023 (χ² = 297.712, P < 0.001), and appeared a tendency towards a reduction followed by a rise each year, which gradually reduced since January, maintained at a low level during the period between May and October, and gradually increased from November to December. The MOI, SSI, BI and ADI of A. albopictus all appeared a tendency towards a rise followed by a reduction in Guangzhou City during the period between January and December from 2021 to 2023. The BI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of June in 2021 (4.03), the first half of July in 2022 (3.89) and the last half of August in 2023 (5.02), and the SSI of A. albopictus peaked in the last half of June in 2021 (0.93), the last half of May in 2022 (0.59), and the last half of June (0.94) and the first half of September in 2023 (1.12). In addition, the MOI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of May in 2021 (8.64), the first half of June in 2022 (8.96), and the last half of May (10.21) and the last half of June in 2023 (10.89), and the ADI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of June in 2021 (3.41), the last half of June in 2022 (4.06), and the first half of July in 2023 (3.61). Conclusions The density of A. albopictus is high in Guangzhou City during the period from May to October, and the risk of local outbreak caused by imported dengue fever is high. Persistent intensified surveillance of the density and seasonal fluctuation of A. albopictus is recommended and timely mosquito prevention and control is required according to the fluctuation in the A. albopictus density.

Objective:To analyze the clinical effect of Jingling oral liquid combined with methylphenidate hydrochloride and thiopride hydrochloride in the treatment of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its influence on serum dopamine transporter (DAT), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and 8 isoprostaglandin F2α[8-iso-PGF-(2α)] levels.Methods:A total of 120 children with ADHD co-induced by epilepsy diagnosed and treated in Handan Second Hospital from May 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected and divided into observation group and control group according to treatment method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group was treated with methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets and tiapride hydrochloride, and the observation group was treated with Jingling oral liquid on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated continuously for 16 weeks. The clinical efficacy and number of seizures of the two groups were compared, the clinical symptoms of the two groups were assessed by the Conner Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) and the Swanson Nolan and Pelham Version Ⅳ(SNAP-Ⅳ), and the intelligence level of the two groups was assessed by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale. The serum levels of DAT, IL-6, 8-iso-PGF-(2α), neurotrophic factors before and after treatment and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment, the effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: 93.33% (56/60) vs. 80.00% (48/60), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 4.62, P<0.05). After treatment, the number of seizures in the observation group was less than that in the control group at 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 12 months: (10.78 ± 1.45)times vs.(14.18 ± 1.56) times, (4.86 ± 0.53) times vs.(8.63 ± 0.89) times, (2.64 ± 0.32) times vs. (4.11 ± 0.45) times, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05).

Robot-assisted surgery with its advantages such as three-dimensional high-definition vision, dexterous robotic arms, and tremor filtration, is increasingly being applied to complex radical gastrectomy. However, the role of the surgical assistant remains crucial during the procedure. The assistant is responsible for tasks outside the console, including adjusting robotic arms, changing instruments, exposing the surgical field, and addressing unexpected situations. The technical proficiency of the assistant and their collaboration efficiency with the primary surgeon directly impact the smoothness of surgery and patients' outcomes. With the expansion of robot-assisted surgical indications, the establishment of a standardized training system and the optimization of team collaboration models have become urgent challenges to address. This article draws on the author's practical experience as an assistant in robot-assisted gastric cancer surgeries, conducting an in-depth analysis of the responsibilities and operational skills of surgical assistants in robot-assisted procedures. The aim is to develop a relatively comprehensive set of operational guidelines for surgical assistants in robot-assisted radical gastrectomy, providing valuable references for enhancing the overall efficiency of surgical teams and improving surgical outcomes.

Objective To investigate the performance of different methods in common autoantibody detec-tion,and to provide basis for the detection strategy of autoantibody.Methods A total of 2 657 cases were in-cluded in this study,whose serum antinuclear antibody(ANA)by indirect immunofluorescence method(IIF)and antinuclear antibody spectrum(ANAs,a total of 15 antibodies)by immunoblot method(IB)were tested simultaneously,and anti-double strand DNA antibody(anti-dsDNA antibody)were tested by IIF,enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and IB.ANCA and ANCA spectrum[anti-myeloperoxidase antibody(anti-MPO antibody),anti-protease 3 antibody(anti-PR3 antibody)]were tested by IIF and ELISA respec-tively in 2 348 cases.Results Firstly,the detection rate of ANA was significantly higher than that of ANAs(57.77％vs.30.64％,P＜0.001).Among the specimens detected with ANA,40.78％detected at least one specific antibody positive.Among the specimens detected with ANAs positive,ANA was not detected in 23.10％of cases.Secondly,the ANA positive cases were mainly of lower titers,and cases with titer of ≤1∶320 accounted for 84.95％of the total detected cases.But the higher the titer,the higher the detection rate of ANAs specific antibodies(29.63％in 1∶100,48.56％in 1∶320,77.78％in 1∶1 000,92.42％in≥1∶3 200).Thirdly,among the specimens detected ANAs positive,the composition ratios of anti-Scl-70,anti-PM-Scl and anti-PCNA antibodies in ANA positive cases was significantly lower than those in ANA negative cases(P＜0.001).Fourthly,the detection rate of anti-dsDNA antibody by ELISA was the highest(4.14％),which was significantly higher than those by IIF or IB(both P＜0.001),and the difference in detection efficacy of the latter two methods was also statistically significant(P＜0.001).Even so,the IIF and IB for the detection of anti-dsDNA antibody still had a certain complementary effect on ELISA.Fifthly,the positive rate of ANCA by IIF was significantly higher than that of ANCA spectrum(9.16％vs.2.43％),but among those who were detected anti-MPO antibodies and/or anti-PR3 antibodies positive,47.37％were ANCA negative.Conclusion Different methods for detecting autoantibodies have significantly different detection efficacy,and it is partic-ularly necessary to adopt correct detection strategies based on evidence-based medicine.
