ObjectiveTo develop a new mosquito trap and evaluate its effectiveness in Aedes albopictus monitoring in an urban community. MethodsThe first-round field test was conducted in a well-greened residential neighborhood with high Aedes albopictus density calculated by human landing catch in August 2022, in Minhang District, Shanghai. 65 new test containers with different designs were randomly deployed in the field. These trap containers were designed by different material, color, hole size, shape and top cover colors. The results of mosquito and its egg trapping were observed and recorded continuously for 7 days. In September 2022, the second round of experiment was conducted. After comparison, an optimized trap container was designed. 140 new trap containers were compared with 140 traditional ones to evaluate the effectiveness. SPSS 22.5 software was used for statistical analysis. ResultsThere were significant changes in the outcome of mosquito and its egg trapping on the 4th and 7th day of the pre-experiment deployment of the three kinds of containers. The 200 ml container cup with three round holes in the body had the best effect on trapping mosquitos and eggs, with a positive rate of 45.5% (5/11), while other type of contrainer cup only had a positive rate of 12% (6/50) in trapping mosquitos and eggs. Statistical significant differences (χ2=45.443,P <0.001) existed between the two tpyes of cups within the first kind of trapping container. The second kind of trapping container showed round and oval holes had better effect on mosquito trapping, with a positive rate of 55.6% (5/9). The third kind of hanging container can resist strong wind. The best mosquito trapping effect of three round holes was 66.7% (2/3). The container wall should not be made of rough material, which was easy to cause the escape of adult mosquitoes. Combined with the three types of containers, the new contariner should be top transparent, and the top 1/3 of the side should paint black with 3 round holes. The effective recovery rate of the new container was higher than that of the traditional one under the exclusion of human factors, and had the advantage of preventing rain, wind and rollover, but the effect of trapping mosquito and its egg was comparable to the traditional one(χ2D4=0.197,P=0.658; χ2D7=0.125 ,P=0.724). ConclusionThis new type of mosquito trap is worth further exploration and research, which can improve the trapping efficiency, overall recovery rate and the accurate confirmation of the mosquito density.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interventional effect of the Chinese herbal preparation Xi Fu Pai Chen(XFPC) on pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in rats with silicosis. METHODS: A total of 144 adult specific pathogen free male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: blank control group, silicosis model group, drug administration control group and groups of low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose XFPC, with 24 rats in each group. Lung silicosis model was established by single inhalation tracheal instillation method, which was treated with 50.0 g/L silica suspension, in groups except in the blank control group. On the 7 th day of modeling, the rats in the drug administration control group were orally given tetrandrine(5 mg/kg body weight), while those in the low-, medium-and high-dose groups were given 43, 86 and 192 g/L of XFPC by atomization inhalation once a day for 20 minutes, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. At the end of drug administration, the histopathological changes of the lung were observed. The number and classification of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were examined, and the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA) and interferon-gamma(IFN-γ) in BALF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: On the 7 th day after modeling, the body weight in the drug administration control group and XFPC high-dose group decreased compared with the blank control group(P<0.05). On the 35 th day after modeling, the body weights of rats in the other 5 groups were lower than that in the blank control group(P<0.05). The pathological changes of lung tissue(infiltration of inflammatory cells, fibrosis and size of silicon nodule) in drug administration control group and XFPC low-dose group were better than those in silicosis model group by naked eyes and under light microscope. The lung coefficient, the proportion of neutrophils and the level of MDA and IFN-γ in BALF of the drug administration control group and XFPC low-dose group decreased(P<0.05), and the proportion of macrophages in BALF increased(P<0.05) compared with the silicosis model group. There was no significant difference in lung coefficients and the relevant indices of BALF between XFPC medium-, high-dose groups and silicosis model group(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Low dosage XFPC can improve pulmonary fibrosis and inflammation in rats with silicosis, and its mechanism of action may be related to reducing the levels of IFN-γ and MDA in BALF.

Objective? To understand the psychological stress and main influencing factors of the stress after implementing kangaroo mother care (KMC), and to explore the changes of the mothers' stress under different frequencies of KMC. Methods? Totally 586 participants including 105 mothers having KMC were selected from the newborn infant intensive care unit in a Class Ⅲ Grade A maternal and infant health care hospital admitted during the period of October, 2016 to December, 2017. According to the frequency of KMC, the participants were divided into two groups: group 1(1-3 times) and group 2 (≥ 4 times). Parent Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Uni(t PSS:NICU) was used to evaluate the parents' stress, and the results of the two groups were compared. Results? In the first three times of KMC,the preterm mothers had high levels of stress. Since the fourth time, the stress gradually declined. The score of the overall stress degree was (1.90±0.73), and the high scores went to "sudden alarm of the monitor machines" (1.90±1.00), "feeling helpless about being unable to get the infants out of pain" (2.11±1.13), "seeing the infants' apnoea" (2.11±1.54). There were statistical significance in "auditing factors" "parents' role adaptability" and "infants' behavior and state" between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions? Preterm infants' mothers have moderate amount of stress. The main causes of the stress include the change of the infants' vital signs, the use of breathing machine, the feeling of helplessness from being unable to get the babies out of pain and separation with the babies. After several times of KMC, the mothers gradually adapt to the new roles and their stress drops dramatically.
