Objective This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity, differentiation, and population structure of Aedes albopictus across different geographical regions in Shandong Province, and to explore the relationship between genetic diversity and geographical distribution. Methods Between July and August 2024, ten Ae. albopictus populations were sampled from seven cities in Shandong Province. Genomic DNA was extracted from individual mosquitoes, and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COⅠ)gene was amplified using PCR and sequenced. The obtained sequences were verified using BLAST and analyzed with MAFFT, MEGA 11, DnaSP v6.12, Arlequin 3.5, PopART 1.7, STRUCTURE 2.3.4 and the R packages adegenet and vegan to assess genetic diversity and population structure. Results A total of 229 COⅠ sequences(662 bp) was obtained, revealing ten variable sites with no insertions or deletions. The overall base composition showed an AT bias of 67.7%. Haplotype analysis identified 11 haplotypes, with Hap2 being the dominant and most widely distributed haplotype across all populations. Neutrality tests showed significant population expansion only in the Rizhao population. Mantel testing result revealed that geographical distance does not significantly impede gene flow. Overall, genetic differentiation among populations was low, indicating frequent gene flow. When combined with additional samples from Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Hainan and Guangxi, STRUCTURE, UPGMA and DAPC analyses revealed two primary genetic clusters of Ae. albopictus. Conclusions Ae. albopictus populations in Shandong Province exhibit frequent gene flow, low genetic differentiation, and relatively low overall genetic diversity. However, the Rizhao population showed signs of recent expansion, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance and targeted control measures in this area.

Systemic inflammation of cachexia is an important cause of high mortality of degenerative diseases such as ad-vanced cancer,and also the most important factor to aggravate the cachexia process.Systemic inflammation of cachexia has a profound impact on the proliferation and invasion of tumors and the catabolism of muscle and adipose tissue in patients with cachexia.In recent years,studies have shown that the dysfunction of gut microbiota during cachexia is an important cause of cachexia systemic inflamma-tion and a key therapeutic target.The dysfunctions of intestinal barrier mediated by gut microbiota and the translocation of bacterial tox-ins during the cachexia period are important causes of cachexia systemic inflammation.This article mainly summarized the relationship between gut microbiota and cachexia systemic inflammation,and summarized the mechanism of intestinal flora inducing cachexia sys-temic inflammation by regulating short chain fatty acids,lipopolysaccharide,flagellin,peptidoglycan and other substances,with a view to providing new ideas for the prevention and treatment of cachexia systemic inflammation from the perspective of intestinal flora.

Objective To explore the motor coordination characteristics of the attack leg of the athletes under scoring actions in the front roundhouse kick of competitive taekwondo,and provide a theoretical basis for coaches to formulate precise training strategies in stages and segments so as to enhance the efficiency and success rate of the athletes' movements.Methods Kinematic data and surface electromyography signals were collected from 15 elite Taekwondo athletes during different phases of the front roundhouse kick.The continuous relative phase(CRP)method was used to calculate the joint coordination and variability of continuous relative phase(VCRP),while non-negative matrix factorization and k-means clustering were used to analyze muscle synergy characteristics.Results The coupling of the neural launch phase was dominated by knee-ankle coupling in coronal axis and hip-ankle coupling in sagittal axis.The coupling of the kicking phase was dominated by hip-knee,hip-ankle in coronal axis,and knee-ankle coupling in vertical axis.The coupling of the recovery phase was dominated by hip-knee,hip-ankle coupling in coronal axis,and knee-ankle coupling in sagittal axis.These coupling relationships remained relatively stable around 0 rad.Approximately 80.0%VCRP remained stable across all phases,with minor fluctuations occurring at phase transitions.A total of 4,5,and 4 muscle synergy clusters were identified in neural launch,kicking,recovery phases,respectively.There were significant differences in the mean gap values among phases(P<0.001).However,there were no significant differences in the mean sparsity values among phases(P>0.05).Some muscle synergies were shared across phases,while others differentiated to form phase-specific coordination patterns.Conclusions Joint coordination in each phase exhibited 1-3 primary stable patterns with flexibility during transitions.Muscle coordination was dynamically adjusted throughout the motion,and a general muscle synergy pattern functioned consistently across different phases,whereas a differentiated muscle synergy pattern fulfilled the phase-specific functional demands.The neural launch and kicking phases should be focused on during training,with the emphasis on controling over critical points to optimize performance.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of nafamostat mesylate in traumatic extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy.Methods:Patients admitted to the intensive care units of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University and Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital for ECMO-assisted cardiopulmonary support due to trauma from January 2021 to December 2024 were selected as the study subjects. Based on different anticoagulation strategies, patients were divided into the nafamostat mesylate group( n=11) and the common heparin group( n=10). The general conditions of the two groups were compared. In addition, differences in various clinical indicators during the ECMO-assisted process were compared, including white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin level (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time(TT), fibrinogen(FIB) and D-dimer. Furthermore,the differences in the total volume of component blood transfusions, coagulation substances, complications and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results:No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding age, gender, weight, type of ECMO support, type of trauma, presence of active bleeding, or rate of surgical intervention. There were no statistically significant differences in WBC, PLT, Hb, HCT, PT, APTT, TT, FIB, and D-dimer between the two groups of patients prior to the initiation of ECMO support (all P>0.05). Compared with the common heparin group, children in the nafamostat mesylate group had lower PT[(21±6)s vs. (27±3)s; (20±4) vs. (28±5)], APTT[(68±8)s vs. (89±12)s; (64±15)s vs. (85±21)s], TT [(25±11)s vs. (31±13)s; (24±8)s vs. (35±6)s], and D-dimer[(5.8±1.1) μg/mL vs. (11.5±5.6) μg/mL; (4.2±1.8) μg/mL vs. (14.6±2.5) μg/mL],and higher FIB[(2.1±0.5) g/L vs. (1.6 ± 0.3) g/L; (2.4 ± 0.4) g/L vs. (1.3 ± 0.6) g/L] when ECMO assisted for 24 h and 72 h,the differences were all statistically significant(all P<0.05). Compared to the nafamostat mesylate group, the common heparin group exhibited significantly higher total cumulative infusion amounts of red blood cell suspension, plasma, platelet, FIB, hemocoagulase, and thromboplastin complex during the ECMO-assisted process, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of children in terms of time to ECMO assistance, membrane lung failure, loop thrombosis, embolism, and successful withdrawal rate (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Nafamostat mesylate can effectively reduce the risk of bleeding and minimize the requirement for blood product and coagulation substance infusions during traumatic ECMO assistance.
