Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of malaria and provide a basis for developing improved prevention and control measures. Methods Data were obtained from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Malaria surveillance data for Nanning City from January 1,2023, to December 31,2024, were exported from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management Subsystem. The characteristics of the two groups of malaria cases were compared. Results A total of 103 imported malaria cases were reported in Nanning City in 2024, representing a 38.32% decrease compared with the same period of the previous year. No statistically significant difference were observed between cases reported in 2023 and 2024 in terms of average age, gender ratio, proportion of parasite species, and monthly reporting distribution;however, statistically significant differences were found in the proportion of reporting areas and current residence areas(χ2= 13.572 and 10.355, respectively; P = 0.001 and 0.035, respectively). The proportion of cases reported in Shanglin County and the proportion of cases residing in Shanglin County were both lower than those during the same period of the previous year. Conclusions The high aggregation of imported malaria cases in Nanning City has decreased. Medical institutions in areas other than Shanglin County should strengthen their vigilance against malaria.

Objective To characterize the epidemiological,radiographic and clinical features of transmigrated mandibular canines by cone-beam CT(CBCT),in order to provide assistance for treatment planning.Methods Patients treated at our institution diagnosed with mandibular canines transmigration were retrospectively screened using CBCT images from June 2012 to December 2018.Clinical and radiographic parameters including location,classification,neighbouring structures,and associated anomalies were evaluated.Re-sults Eighty-two patients with 85 transmigrated mandibular canines were enrolled,establishing a prevalence of 0.11％(82/75 021).Among these cases,79 patients had unilateral transmigration of mandibular canines;the other 3 had bilateral transmigrations.Thirty-nine cases were male and 43 were female,with age ranging from 10 to 58.According to the Mupparapu classification,type Ⅰ(42,49.41％)was the most prevalent followed by type Ⅱ(19,22.35％)and type Ⅲ(15,17.65％).Fifty-three(62.35％)crowns were located labially,and often associated with odontoma,cyst and supernumerary tooth.Seventy transmigrated canines were surgically re-moved while 2 cases were tried to orthodontically aligned,failed and finally extracted.Ten cases received routine monitoring.Conclu-sion The transmigration of mandibular canines is rarely occurring abnormality with certain clinical imaging features which can assist in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.

Aim To elucidate whether Astragaloside Ⅳcould ameliorate pathological myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis via the EGR1-SIRT1-PPARα-SCAD signa-ling pathway in TAC mice.Methods After randomi-zing mice into groups,the Sham+AS-Ⅳ group and TAC+AS-Ⅳ group were intragastrically administered 20 mg·kg-1AS-Ⅳ once daily,whereas the Sham+NS group and TAC+NS group were given equivalent saline.Six weeks post-surgery,an evaluation of cardiac function was conducted,heart weight index was compu-ted,morphological alterations in heart were noted,vari-ations in collagen and myocardial hypertrophy indexes were analyzed,ATP content,free fatty acid content,hydroxyproline content,SCAD expression,and enzyme activity were measured,and an initial investigation into the protein expression of EGR1-SIRT1-PPARα-SCAD in myocardial tissues was undertaken.Results After AS-Ⅳ intervention,the heart weight index of TAC mice decreased(P＜0.01),LVAWd,LVAWs,LVPWd and LVPWs values decreased(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),EF％and FS％values increased(all P＜0.01),myocardial hypertrophy markers and collagen area decreased,FFA content,HYP content and collagen expression de-creased(all P＜0.01),SCAD enzyme activity and ex-pression increased(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),and ATP content increased(P＜0.01).The expression of EGR1 protein decreased,and the expression of SIRT1 and PPARα protein increased(all P＜0.01).Conclu-sions AS-Ⅳ may improve fatty acid oxidation via the EGR1-SIRT1-PPARα-SCAD signaling pathway,thereby ameliorating pathological myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis in TAC model mice.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sodium hyaluronate combined with recombinant human epidermal growth factor(rhEGF)in the treatment of dry eye after cataract surgery.Methods Patients with dry eye after cataract surgery were divided into treatment group and control group.The control group was treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops via dropping into the conjunctival sac,a drop per dose,tid,for 4 weeks.On this basis,the treatment group was treated with rhEGF eye drops via dropping into the conjunctival sac,1-2 drops per dose,tid,for 4 weeks.The two groups were compared on overall clinical efficacy,dry eye symptoms before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment.Tear-film breakup time(BUT),basic tear secretion test(schirmer Ⅰ test,SⅠT),corneal fluorescein staining(CFS)score,meibomian gland yield secretion score(MGYSS),and the levels of tear inflammatory factors were compared between two groups before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment.The safety was evaluated.Results Finally,41 cases and 39 cases were included in the treatment group and the control group,respectively.After treatment,the total effective rates in the treatment group and the control group were 95.12％and 79.49％,with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,dry eye symptom scores of the treatment group and control group were 1.42±0.18 and 2.31±0.26;BUT were(11.89±1.26)and(10.46±1.27)s;SⅠT were(10.12±1.35)and(8.45±0.87)mm;CFS scores were 0.83±0.11 and 1.94±0.25;MGYSS scores were 10.85±1.17 and 12.43±1.56;interleukin-1β levels in tears were(35.26±3.53)and(74.12±7.55)ng·L-1;interleukin-6 levels were(8.35±0.86)and(12.41±12.56)pg·mL-1.Compared with the control group,the above indexes in the treatment group were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The incidence rates of adverse drug reactions in the treatment group and the control group were 12.20％and 10.26％,without statistically significant difference between the groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Sodium hyaluronate combined with rhEGF can significantly improve dry eye symptoms after cataract surgery,enhance the stability of tear film,reduce tear inflammatory factors,and protect the integrity of meibomian gland.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the molecular serotyping and drug resistance of foodborne Listeria monocytogenes (LM)isolates from the food monitoring network of Liaoning Province, and to provide a reference for identifying and tracing the outbreaks of foodborne diseases. Methods　The Listeria monocytogenes isolates were identified, biochemical typing was conducted by VITEK biochemical identification and PCR amplification techniques were applied for molecular serotyping of 67 strains of Listeria monocytogenes detected from 2 797 food samples collected from 15 monitoring sites across the province during 2021-2022. Verification was performed according to the instructions of the serodiagnosis manual. The sensitivity of the strains to ampicillin, penicillin, meropenem, cotrimoxazole, and erythromycin was determined by broth dilution method. Results　In food from Liaoning Province, the molecular serotypes of Listeria monocytogenes carried were identified as 1/2a(3a), 1/2b(3b, 7), 1/2c(3c), and 4b (4d, 4e), with the predominant serotypes being 1/2a accounting for 62.7% (42/67), and 1/2b accounting for 28.4% (19/67). Among them, the 4b strain was isolated in 3 strains, representing 4.5%. The dominant strains of Listeria monocytogenes in 2021 and 2022 in Liaoning Province were 1/2a(3a) and 1/2b(3b, 7), with the most diverse types carried by meat and meat products. Double resistance to cotrimoxazole and erythromycin accounted for 11.9% (8/67), while resistance to only one cotrimoxazole accounted for 9.0% (6/67). Conclusions　The presence of pathogenic serotypes 1/2a(3a), 1/2b(3b, 7), 1/2c(3c), and 4b (4d, 4e) in food in Liaoning Province and the emergence of strains with one or more drug resistances indicate the existence of food safety issues caused by Listeria monocytogenes, posing a potential risk of listeriosis. There is a need to optimize source tracing methods and strengthen the confirmation of Listeria monocytogenes outbreaks.

Malignant tumors are a major disease threatening human health with disability and mortality rates increasing yearly.Protein tyrosine phosphatase 2(SHP2)of Src homology 2,an important member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family,has a wide range of functions,and its expression is elevated in a wide range of solid tumors.SHP2 plays an important regulatory role in invasion,metastasis,proliferation,apoptosis,and drug resistance.A large number of studies have shown that SHP2 plays a very important role in the genesis and development of many solid tumors,but no systematic studies have reported on the role of SHP2 in digestive system tumors.Here,we reviewed the biological functions and clinical significance of SHP2 in seven tumor types of the digestive system,explored its roles and mechanisms in cancer development stages,and summarized the development of SHP2 inhibitors to further search for potential targets for effective early diagnosis and gene therapy,which is of great significance to improvement the cancer patient survival rate.
