ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of ecological niche and interspecific relationships of mosquitoes in different habitats in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and to provide a basis for mosquito ecological monitoring, control and the development or optimization of prevention and control strategies for related mosquito-borne diseases. MethodsFrom May to October 2023, the ecological monitoring in residential areas, parks, tourist attractions and medical institutions in Dongcheng District of Beijing was carried out using the carbon dioxide (CO₂) mosquito trapping method, and the ecological niche characteristics and interspecific relationships of mosquitoes in different habitats were analyzed using Levins ecological niche breadth index, Pinaka ecological niche overlap index and ecological niche similarity coefficients. ResultsThe temporal ecological niche of Culex pipiens pallens (10.62) was higher than that of Aedes albopictus (8.29) in different habitats in Dongcheng District of Beijing, and the temporal ecological niche overlap index of the two mosquitoes was as high as 0.87. The ecological niche breadth of Culex pipiens pallens was higher than that of Aedes albopictus in different monitoring habitats, and the order of the ecological niche breadth of Culex pipiens pallens in different monitoring habitats was, from high to low, as follows: residential areas (11.09) > tourist attractions (10.25) > medical institutions (9.15) > parks (9.07), while the ecological niche breadth of Aedes albopictus in different habitats was, in descending order, residential areas (8.56) > medical institutions (7.68) > parks (7.44) > tourist attractions (5.73). The results of niche overlap analysis showed that the overlap index between Culex pipiens pallens and Aedes albopictus was the largest in residential areas (0.86), as for in other habitats, which was, in descending order, parks (0.81) > medical institutions (0.68) > tourist attractions (0.60). Besides, the ecological similarity coefficients further verified that similarity coefficients, between the two mosquito species, were highest in residential areas (0.712), lowest in tourist attractions (0.497), and which were 0.675 in parks and 0.598 in medical institutions, respectively. ConclusionIn different monitoring habitats in Dongcheng District of Beijing, Culex albopictus pallens demonstrates a stronger spatio-temporal resource utilization ability than Aedes albopictus, and the two species exhibit more similar spatio-temporal resource utilization patterns in residential areas. Corresponding control strategies targeting the characteristics of ecological niches and interspecific relationships of these two mosquito species in different habitats should be developed to enhance the prevention and control effect.

Objective: To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution and depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents, so as to provide evidences for informing constitution based regulation and prevention of depressive symptom. Methods: From June to December 2024, a total of 4 729 students aged 6-14 were recruited by cluster random sampling from 10 primary schools in Baoding (Hebei Province), Heze and Liaocheng (Shandong Province). General information, TCM constitution and depressive symptom were collected. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to analyze related factors and threshold effects of depressive symptom. Binary Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between depressive symptom and TCM constitution, with subgroup analyses conducted. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptom among the included children and adolescents was 25.82%. RCS analyses indicated non linear associations between depressive symptom and age (inflection point at 10 years old), bedtime (inflection point at 22:00), and wake up time (inflection point at 6:30 ) (all P non linearity <0.01). Linear associations were observed with body mass index (BMI) and sleep duration (all P non linearity > 0.05 ). After adjusting for covariates such as age, BMI and sleep status, binary Logistic regression analyses showed that Yin deficient constitution ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.09-1.45) and Phlegm-dampness constitution ( OR =1.42, 95% CI =1.11-1.82) were significantly associated with depressive symptom among children and adolescents (all P <0.05). Conclusions Depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents is primarily associated with Yin deficiency and Phlegm dampness constitutions in TCM constitution. Active attention should be paid to susceptible TCM constitution among children and adolescents. Targeted health guidance and interventions should be implemented to improve TCM constitution health status for preventing the occurrence of depressive symptom.

Objective:To assess the capability of seven reference medical laboratories to detect BCR::ABL1 p210 transcription levels and to compare the results among those laboratories.Methods:The interlaboratory comparison was carried out in two stages. The samples were prepared by the reference laboratory. The quantitative values of BCR::ABL1 p210 of the comparison samples covered 0.001%-0.01%, 0.01%-0.1%, 0.1%-1%, 1%-10% and>10% in each stage. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and dPCR (digital PCR) were used to examine the samples. The conversion factor (CF) was calculated and validated for each laboratory.Results:In the RT-PCR comparison, one laboratory was failed to detect BCR::ABL1 p210 in fourteen samples at the first stage. The results of the other six laboratories were qualified with the bias <±1.2 folds (-0.133-0.338) and 95% limits of agreement within ±5 folds (upper limit 0.147-0.785, lower limit -0.770--0.109), and the corresponding CF values were calculated and validated. In the dPCR comparison, one laboratory did not report results at the second stage. The results of the other six laboratories were qualified with the bias <±1.2 folds (-0.026-0.267) and 95% limits of agreement within±5 folds (upper limit 0.084-0.991, lower limit -0.669--0.135), and the corresponding CF values were calculated and validated. The samples with BCR::ABL1 p210 quantitative values of 0.01%-0.1%, 0.1%-1%, 1%-10% and >10% could be detected by both RT-PCR and qPCR. When the quantitative value of BCR::ABL1 p210 was 0.001%-0.01%, the detection rate of dPCR was higher than that of RT-PCR (85.56% vs. 68.00%).Conclusions:A good consistency is present among various laboratories. The quantitative value of BCR::ABL1 p210 is comparable among laboratories as shown by the CF value conversion. For quantitative detection of BCR::ABL1 p210 deep molecular reaction, dPCR has a higher positive detection rate and more advantages than RT-PCR. To ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of the BCR::ABL1 p210 test, it is imperative for every laboratory to enhance their daily quality control practices.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of different magnetic stimulation pelvic floor modes in the treatment of perimenopausal myofascial pelvic pain syndrome(MPSS).Methods A total of 60 perimenopausal women who were clinically diagnosed with MPSS in the hospital from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the research objects.They were divided into groups A,B and C by random number table method,with 20 cases in each group.All patients in the three groups were treated with pelvic floor myofascial manual release.Group A was given pelvic floor magnetic stimulation(alternating 10 Hz and 50 Hz),group B was given sacral nerve root magnetic stimulation(50 Hz),and group C was given pelvic floor magnetic stimu-lation combined with sacral nerve root magnetic stimulation at the same time.The three groups were treated twice a week for eight weeks.Visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate the degree of pelvic floor myofascial tenderness before and after treatment,and Glazer pelvic floor surface electromyography was used to evaluate pelvic floor muscle function.Results Compared with before treatment,the VAS scores of subjec-tive pain and pelvic floor myofascial tenderness in the three groups were decreased after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with group A and group B,the VAS score of subjective pain and the VAS score of pelvic floor myofascial tenderness in group C were significantly decreased after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,the average amplitude and coefficient of variation(CV)of pre-rest potential and post-rest potential in the three groups were decreased after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,only the maximum amplitude of rapid contraction,the average amplitude of 10 s sustained contraction and 60 s sustained contraction and CV in group C were improved,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with group A and group B,the average amplitude and CV of pre-resting potential and post-resting potential in group C were decreased after treatment,the maxi-mum amplitude of rapid contraction and the average amplitude and CV of 10 s continuous contraction and 60 s persistent contraction were improved,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Dif-ferent magnetic stimulation pelvic floor modes can effectively relieve pain and improve pelvic floor muscle strength in the treatment of perimenopausal MPSS,and the effect of pelvic floor magnetic stimulation com-bined with sacral nerve root magnetic stimulation is the best.

Objective To study the curative effects of traditional Chinese medicine paste combined with Baduanjin in treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). Methods 120 OVCF patients treated with PVP in our hospital from January 2016 to September 2017 were divided into the observation group (60 cases) and the control group (60 cases) according to the random number table method. The control group was given calcium carbonate D₃ chewable tablets orally with routine guidance. In addition to the same treatment as the control group, the observation group received the traditional Chinese medicine paste orally with Baduanjin exercise. Both groups were treated for 6 months and followed-up for 3 years. The curative effects in the two groups after 6 months treatment and the low back pain after 1, 3 and 6 months of treatment were recorded. The changes of bone mineral density (BMD), kyphosis angle (Cobb angle), anterior wall height of vertebral body (AVBH) and level of bone metabolism indexes in the two groups were compared before and after treatment for 6 months. The follow-up times and the incidences of push-back fracture after PVP during follow-up were recorded. Results After 6 months of treatment, the clinical cure rate of the observation group was 73.33%, which was higher than 53.33% of the control group(P<0.05). Compared with pretreatment, the scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) in the two groups gradually decreased after 3 and 6 months of treatment, and the observation group had a lower scores than the control group (P<0.05). After 6 months treatment, BMD and AVBH of lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck in both groups increased, and the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The Cobb angle and serum levels of Type I procollagen degradation products (β-Cross I), the n-terminal middle osteocalcin (N-MID Ost) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) decreased in both groups, and the observation group was lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in fracture incidence after PVP in the year 1, year 1 to 3 follow up between the two groups (P>0.05). During the 3 years follow-up, the incidence of push-body fracture after PVP in the observation group was 3.33%, which was lower than that in the control group 20.00%( P<0.05). Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine paste combined with Baduanjin reduced the serum levels of β-Cross I, N-MID Ost and PTH, regulated bone metabolism, improved BMD and AVBH of lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck, reduced Cobb angle, promoted the recovery of lumbar function, alleviated patients' back pain, lowered the incidence of push-body fracture after PVP. The curative effects were remarkable.
