Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Objective To establish a competency evaluation indicator system for school physicians. Methods A preliminary pool of competency indicators for school physicians was established through systematic literature review and policy document analysis. The Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultations with 16 experts who involve in educational administration, clinical medicine, public health management, and school healthcare. Based on the opinions of the experts, the indicator system was screened, revised, and refined to establish the final competency evaluation indicator system for school physicians. Results The questionnaire recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultations were both 100.0%. The expert authority coefficient were 0.93 and 0.94, and Kendall′s coefficients of concordance were 0.21 and 0.26, respectively (both P<0.01). The final competency evaluation indicator system for school physicians consisted of five primary indicators, including basic medical service capacity, school health service capacity, health education and communication capacity, professional ethics and competency, and self-improvement capacity, as well as 35 secondary indicators (items). All indicators received relatively high importance scores. The system demonstrated a reasonable structure, good scientific validity, and practical applicability. Conclusion The competency evaluation indicator system for school physicians developed in this study demonstrates high scientific validity and practicality. It can serve as an important tool for school physician management, competency development, and performance evaluation, providing references for improving school health service quality and strengthening the construction of school physician teams.

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is a critical process by which cells internalize macromolecular substances and initiate vesicle trafficking, serving as the foundation for many cellular activities. Central to this process are clathrin-coated structures (CCSs), which consist of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs) and clathrin plaques. While clathrin-coated pits are well-established in the study of endocytosis, clathrin plaques represent a more recently discovered but equally important component of this system. These plaques are large, flat, and extended clathrin-coated assemblies found on the cytoplasmic membrane. They are distinct from the more typical clathrin-coated pits in terms of their morphology, larger surface area, and longer lifespan. Recent research has revealed that clathrin plaques play roles that go far beyond endocytosis, contributing to diverse cellular processes such as cellular adhesion, mechanosensing, migration, and pathogen invasion. Unlike traditional clathrin-coated pits, which are transient and dynamic structures involved primarily in the internalization of molecules, clathrin plaques are more stable and extensive, often persisting for extended periods. Their extended lifespan suggests that they serve functions beyond the typical endocytic role, making them integral to various cellular processes. For instance, clathrin plaques are involved in the regulation of intercellular adhesion, allowing cells to better adhere to one another or to the extracellular matrix, which is crucial for tissue formation and maintenance. Furthermore, clathrin plaques act as mechanosensitive hubs, enabling the cell to sense and respond to mechanical stress, a feature that is essential for processes like migration, tissue remodeling, and even cancer progression. Recent discoveries have also highlighted the role of clathrin plaques in cellular signaling. These plaques can serve as scaffolds for signaling molecules, orchestrating the activation of various pathways that govern cellular behavior. For example, the recruitment of actin-binding proteins such as F-actin and vinculin to clathrin plaques can influence cytoskeletal dynamics, helping cells adapt to mechanical changes in their environment. This recruitment also plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular migration, which is crucial for developmental processes. Additionally, clathrin plaques influence receptor-mediated signal transduction by acting as platforms for the assembly of signaling complexes, thereby affecting processes such as growth factor signaling and cellular responses to extracellular stimuli. Despite the growing body of evidence that supports the involvement of clathrin plaques in a wide array of cellular functions, much remains unknown about the precise molecular mechanisms that govern their formation, maintenance, and turnover. For example, the factors that regulate the recruitment of clathrin and other coat proteins to form plaques, as well as the signaling molecules that coordinate plaque dynamics, remain areas of active research. Furthermore, the complex interplay between clathrin plaques and other cellular systems, such as the actin cytoskeleton and integrin-based adhesion complexes, needs further exploration. Studies have shown that clathrin plaques can respond to mechanical forces, with recent findings indicating that they act as mechanosensitive structures that help the cell adapt to changing mechanical environments. This ability underscores the multifunctional nature of clathrin plaques, which, in addition to their role in endocytosis, are involved in cellular processes such as mechanotransduction and adhesion signaling. In summary, clathrin plaques represent a dynamic and versatile component of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. They play an integral role not only in the internalization of macromolecular cargo but also in regulating cellular adhesion, migration, and signal transduction. While much has been learned about their structural and functional properties, significant questions remain regarding the molecular mechanisms that regulate their formation and their broader role in cellular physiology. This review highlights the evolving understanding of clathrin plaques, emphasizing their importance in both endocytosis and a wide range of other cellular functions. Future research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms by which clathrin plaques contribute to cellular processes and to better understand their implications for diseases, including cancer and tissue remodeling. Ultimately, clathrin plaques are emerging as crucial hubs that integrate mechanical, biochemical, and signaling inputs, providing new insights into cellular function and the regulation of complex cellular behaviors.

Objective To investigate the differences of perineuronal net(PNN)and parvalbumin(PV)-positive neuron distribution across specific brain regions between young and aged mice.Methods Brains from young(45 days)and aged(350 days)mice(n=4 per group)were fixed with 4％paraformaldehyde,sectioned(50 μm)using a vibratome,and stained with Wisteria floribunda agglutinin(WFA)and PV immunofluorescence.Quantitative analyses of PNN-positive and PV-positive neurons,along with PNN encapsulation of PV-positive neurons,were performed in the anterior cingulate cortex(ACC),somatosensory cortex barrel field layer 4(S1BF L4),striatum(STR),and hippocampal CA2 region.Results Aged mice exhibited no significant changes in PNN-positive or PV-positive neuron counts in ACC,S1BF L4,or STR compared to young mice,but showed significantly increased PNN encapsulation of PV-positive neurons.In hippocampal CA2,PNN-positive neurons increased significantly without PV-positive neuron alterations.Conclusion The differences in PNN-PV neuron interactions and PNN density exist in specific brain regions of young and aged mice.

Objective To develop a method of combining electroencephalogram(EEG)/electromyography(EMG)with multi-regional fiber photometry recording to simultaneously capture the changes of neuronal activity in the whole brain and specific brain regions during epileptic seizures.Methods The mouse head was divided into left and right regions based on the middle suture of the skull.EEG electrodes(EEG/EMG)were implanted in one side,while optical fibers were implanted in the striatum,hippocampus,entorhinal cortex,and thalamus on the contralateral side to simultaneously monitor EEG,EMG,and calcium signal dynamics.Results By combining EEG/EMG with multi-regional fiber photometry recording,differences in neuronal activity across brain regions,alongside EEG and EMG,were observed during different behavioral states.In a kainic acid(KA)-induced epilepsy model,abnormal synchronous neuronal discharges in the mouse brain were accompanied by calcium signal changes in the striatum,hippocampus,entorhinal cortex,and thalamus,with the earliest changes occurring in the hippocampus.Conclusion The combined use of EEG/EMG and multi-brain-region fiber photometry is successfully implemented in mice.This method synchronously recordes abnormal calcium signal changes across multiple brain regions,along with EEG and EMG,in the KA-induced epilepsy model.

Objective:To investigate whether herb cake-insulated moxibustion affects the expression of cholesterol metabolism-related protein 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase(HMGR)and inhibits the development of atherosclerosis by regulating the exosomal miR-223 expression.Methods:Thirty-six male New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to a normal group,a model group,and an herb cake-insulated moxibustion group,with 12 rabbits in each group.The model and the herb cake-insulated moxibustion groups were fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks to induce an atherosclerosis model.Following successful modeling,the herb cake-insulated moxibustion group was subjected to bundling and herb cake-insulated moxibustion intervention,while the other two groups were subjected only to bundling without moxibustion.After 8 weeks of intervention,hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe aortic morphology;the serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer in each group.Exosome morphology was observed using the transmission electron microscope;Western blotting(WB)was used to detect the protein levels of serum exosomal CD63 and CD9 markers,as well as liver HMGR;additionally,real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to quantify serum exosomal miR-223.Results:HE staining showed thickened aortic intima,lipid infiltration,foam cell aggregation,and structural damage to the arterial wall in the model group.Meanwhile,after modeling,the serum levels of LDL-C,TC,and TG increased significantly in the model and herb cake-insulated moxibustion groups compared to the normal group(P<0.05),suggesting successful atherosclerosis rabbit model preparation.The serum exosomes of rabbits in the model group exhibited a saucer-like or semi-concave spherical shape with diameters of 120-150 nm.WB detection results showed positive expression of the exosomal markers CD63 and CD9.After 8 weeks of intervention,the miR-223 level in the model group was significantly lower than that in the normal group(P<0.01).In contrast,the herb cake-insulated moxibustion group demonstrated significantly reduced serum levels of TC,TG,and LDL-C(P<0.05),increased miR-223 expression(P<0.01),and decreased relative liver HMGR protein expression(P<0.05)compared to the model group.Conclusion:Herb cake-insulated moxibustion may alleviate the progression of atherosclerosis by up-regulating exosomal miR-223 expression and down-regulating HMGR protein expression,thereby inhibiting cholesterol anabolic metabolism.
