Objective This study conducted molecular biological identification of the viruses carried by Culex pipiens pallens specimens collected in Shunyi District, Beijing in 2023, and observed the changes in the infection rate of the viruses carried by Cx. pipiens pallens at different collection times. Methods Cx. pipiens pallens were collected using carbon dioxide mosquito traps. The mosquito samples were ground in batches and analyzed by molecular biology technologies. The virus infection rate at different collection times was analyzed statistically. Results 17 strains of Culex pipiens pallens densovirus(CppDNV)were identified from Cx. pipiens pallens samples collected in Shunyi District, Beijing, in 2023. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the virus genome coding region showed that CppDNV was a single-stranded DNA virus with a total length of 3 335 nt, encoding 2 non-structural proteins(NS1, NS2)and 1 capsid protein(VP). The nucleotide(amino acid)sequence lengths of the three proteins were 2 376 nt(791 aa),1 092 nt(363 aa)and 1 071 nt(356 aa), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CppDNV was located in genus Brevihamaparvovirus. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in infection rates across collection times(χ2=4.429, P=0.194). Conclusions CppDNV was identified in Cx. pipiens pallens in Beijing, and it was stably maintained in this natural population.

[Purpose]To analyze the results of breast cancer screening among women aged 45～74 in Chongqing from 2012 to 2022 and compare the risk of breast cancer among women with differ-ent characteristics.[Methods]The Urban Cancer Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program was con-ducted in Chongqing from 2012 to 2022,female residents aged 45～74 years old participated in breast cancer screening.The participants who were assessed as at high risk of breast cancer in the preliminary screening were advised to receive ultrasonography and mammography examination in designated hospitals.The study population was followed up annually to obtain information on their health outcomes.The high risk rate of breast cancer,compliance of further examination,the inci-dence density and breast cancer risk were calculated.[Results]A total of 207 891 women com-pleted the questionnaires survey and risk assessment,and 35 947 were assessed as the individuals with high risk of breast cancer with a high risk rate of 17.29％.Among them 14 713 received the imaging screening with a compliance rate of 40.93％.After a mean follow-up of(5.43±3.01)years,847 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed with a cumulative incidence rate of 407.43/105,an in-cidence density of 75.03/105 person-years(95％CI:70.15/105～80.26/105 person-years).Cox pro-portional hazards regression showed that the risk of breast cancer was higher in obese women than that in normal weight women(HR=1.26,95％CI:1.00～1.59);the risk of breast cancer was signifi-cantly higher in those with family history of breast cancer than that in those without family history(HR=1.69,95％CI:1.36～2.09).Compared with non-high-risk groups of breast cancer,the risk of breast cancer was increased in high-risk individuals who were screened or not screened(HR=1.36,95％CI:1.06～1.73 and HR=1.26,95％CI:1.01～1.56).[Conclusion]The breast cancer screening program combining primary risk assessment with ultrasonography and mammography for the high-risk groups can improve the detection rate,and the compliance rate of imaging screening need to be improved in the future and make accurate screening for people with high risk of breast cancer.

This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which naringin alleviates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(CI/R) injury through DRP1/LRRK2/MCU signaling axis. A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group, the model group, the sodium Danshensu group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose(50, 100, and 200 mg·kg~(-1)) naringin groups, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the sham group, a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(tMCAO/R) model was established in SD rats using the suture method. Longa 5-point scale was used to assess neurological deficits. 2,3,5-Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining was used to detect the volume percentage of cerebral infarction in rats. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and Nissl staining were employed to assess neuronal structural alterations and the number of Nissl bodies in cortex, respectively. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 gene(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), cleaved cysteine-aspartate protease-3(cleaved caspase-3), mitochondrial calcium uniporter(MCU), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3), and P62. Mitochondrial structure and autophagy in cortical neurons were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence assay was used to quantify the fluorescence intensities of MCU and mitochondrial calcium ion, as well as the co-localization of dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1) with leucine-rich repeat kinase 2(LRRK2) and translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20(TOMM20) with LC3 in cortical mitochondria. The results showed that compared with the model group, naringin significantly decreased the volume percentage of cerebral infarction and neurological deficit score in tMCAO/R rats, alleviated the structural damage and Nissl body loss of cortical neurons in tMCAO/R rats, inhibited autophagosomes in cortical neurons, and increased the average diameter of cortical mitochondria. The Western blot results showed that compared to the sham group, the model group exhibited increased levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bax, MCU, and the LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ ratio in the cortex and reduced protein levels of Bcl-2 and P62. However, naringin down-regulated the protein expression of cleaved caspase-3, Bax, MCU and the ratio of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ ratio and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and P62 proteins in cortical area. In addition, immunofluorescence analysis showed that compared with the model group, naringin and positive drug treatments significantly decreased the fluorescence intensities of MCU and mitochondrial calcium ion. Meanwhile, the co-localization of DRP1 with LRRK2 and TOMM20 with LC3 in cortical mitochondria was also decreased significantly after the intervention. These findings suggest that naringin can alleviate cortical neuronal damage in tMCAO/R rats by inhibiting DRP1/LRRK2/MCU-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation and the resultant excessive mitophagy.
