Objective　To explore the application of time series models based on meteorological factors in the population density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province. Methods　The density of Aedes albopictus in different habitats in 18 cities and counties of Hainan Province from 2017 to 2022 was monitored monthly using the double-mosquito net trapping index and the Breteau index. Mann-Kendall trend test was used to analyze the temporal trends of the two density indices; Spearman's correlation analysis was employed to assess the correlation strength between each meteorological factor and the two indexes, eliminating unrelated variables, and further selecting the final variables through the full-subset regression method. Three time-series models were constructed for the two density indices, with root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and other accuracy metrics used to determine the optimal model; predictions for the density indices for 2023-2024 were made. All statistical analyses were performed in R (4.3.1). Results　The net trapping and Breteau indices showed an overall decrease over the years (Z-values of Mann-Kendall trend test were -6.15 and -4.03, respectively, and P<0.05). The meteorological factor most strongly associated with the trap index was the monthly average minimum temperature; monthly mean minimum temperature and monthly mean relative humidity were strongly correlated with the Breteau index. Based on various evaluation indicators, the multivariate time series model demonstrated the highest accuracy. The study predicts one to two peaks in both the trap index and Breteau Index for the years 2023 and 2024, with peak periods occurring between June to September and May to September, respectively. The predicted value for 2023 aligns with the measured value, demonstrating outstanding predictive accuracy. Conclusions　This study has introduced meteorological factors into the seasonal time series model, allowing for more accurate predictions of the density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2024, providing a model framework for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province.

A case with the diagnosis of the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with chronic granulo-matous disease (CGD) in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in June 2016 was chosen, and the patient′s clinical data and whole treatment process were analyzed.According to the relevant literature from Chinese and foreign databases, the clinical characteristics were analyzed and summarized, principles of diagnosis and treatment for children who had the onset of IBD with CGD.This patient was a child of 1 year and 9 months old, and the initial symptoms included repeated diarrhea and bloody stools.He was diagnosed as " ulcerative colitis" in the local hospital.After admission, the neutrophil respiratory burst test was positive.The genetic analysis result suggested that the CYBB gene was mutated, thus obtaining the diagnosis of CGD.Then, he was given prophylactic antibiotic therapy and symptomatic treatment.After the 3 months of follow-up after discharge, the patient still had intermittent diarrhea and bloody stools.CGD is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease, and current treatment methods of CGD include hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and anti-infection treatment.When IBD patients have complications other than gastrointestinal symptoms, the IBD treatment is not effective, or there are suspected parents who are married to close relatives, or with the family history of IBD, CGD should be considered.

Objective:To explore the action mechanism of suppressing expression of mitogen- activated protein kinase 14（MAPK14）to alleviate glutamate excitatory toxicity and its neuronal protection effect.Methods:Lentivirus-mediated MAPK14 interference vector was synthetized by Shanghai Jikai Gene Chemical Technology Co.，Ltd. Astrocytes were obtained from SD rats 48 hours after birth，which were cultured in vitro and transfected by lentivirus-mediated transfection. According to the random number table，the cells were divided into three groups：（1）un-transfected group（normal group）with normal astrocytes and the cells were cultured in regular medium composed of Dulbecco's?modified Eagle's?medium（DMEM）；（2）negative control group with astrocytes transfected by MAPK14 no-loaded interference vector；（3）lentivirus transfected group with astrocytes transfected by MAPK14 interference vector. Seventy-two hours after transfection，astrocytes were co-cultured with neurons for 48 hours，and then they were cultured in a medium containing glutamate for 2 hours. The detection indexes included the optimal multiplicity of infection（MOI）value for astrocytes transfected by lentivirus vector，mRNA levels of MAPK14 and glial glutamate transporter 1（GLT-1）detected by rPCR 72 hours after transfection，protein levels of MAPK14 and GLT-1 detected by Western blot 72 hours after transfection，level of lactate dehydrogenase（LDH）and mortality of neurons measured by spectrophotometry and flow cytometry 2 hours after culturing in the medium with glutamate. Results:（1）The optimal MOI value for lentivirus transfecting astrocytes was 30，and astrocytes grew well after transfection.（2）Seventy-two after transfection，the mRNA level of MAPK14 in lentivirus transfected group（0.005 7±0.000 6）was significantly decreased as compared with un-transfected group（0.013 1±0.001 1）and negative control group（0.013 9±0.001 0）（ P<0.01），the mRNA level of GLT-1 in lentivirus transfected group（0.009 1±0.001 2）was not significantly changed as compared with un-transfected group（0.008 7±0.000 3）and negative control group（0.008 9±0.001 1）（ P>0.05）.（3）Seventy-two hours after transfection，the protein level of MAPK14 in lentivirus transfected group（0.29±0.04）was significantly decreased as compared with non-transfected group（0.61±0.05）and negative control group（0.63±0.01）（ P<0.01），the protein level of GLT-1 in lentivirus transfected group（0.73±0.06）was significantly increased as compared with un-transfected group（0.20±0.03）and negative control group（0.23±0.09）（ P<0.01）.（4）After astrocytes were co-cultured with neurons and subsequently cultured in the medium containing glutamate for 2 hours，the level of LDH in lentivirus transfected group［（109.67±2.40）U/L］was significantly lower than that in un-transfected group［（141.52±3.88）U/L］and negative control group［（141.29±3.61）U/L］（ P<0.01）. The mortality of neurons in lentivirus transfected group［（38.72±0.26）%］was significantly lower than that in un-transfected group［（52.94±1.36）%］and negative control group［（54.30±1.23）%］（ P<0.01）. Conclusions:The transfection with lentivirus-mediated MAPK14 interference vector can increase expression of GLT-1 in astrocytes to increase glutamate re-uptake and relieve the glutamate excitatory toxicity in neurons，which may provide a new experimental basis for future use of astrocyte gene regulation to alleviate neuronal injury caused by glutamate excitatory toxicity after traumatic brain injury.

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic value of CT for lymph node metastasis of thoracic esophageal carcinoma with a diameter of more than 1 cm, and to find the optimal diagnostic index by comparing relevant CT indexes. Methods: Totally 80 patients with pathologically proved thoracic esophageal cancer with preoperative CT examination revealed lymph node diameter greater than 1 cm admitted at Department of Thoracic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from January 2016 to January 2018 were enrolled in this study. There were 70 males and 10 females, aging of (60±14) years (range: 40-85 years). According to the pathological result of lymph nodes, all the patients and lymph nodes were divided into two groups (N+group: 47 patients, 62 lymph nodes; N-group: 33 patients, 39 lymph nodes). The average number of dissected lymph nodes were 21±4 and 101 lymph nodes′ diameter were greater than 1 cm. The clinicopathologic factors, postoperative complications, lymph node dissection and relevant CT indexes like the minimum diameter of lymph nodes (Min D), the maximum diameter of lymph node (Max D), lymph node axial ratio(LAR), the enhancement of lymph node (ELN) and the boundary of lymph node (BLN) were compared. The clinicopathological data, lymph node dessection and CT parameters of the two groups were compared by t test, χ² test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to compare the ability to predict lymph node metastasis between Min D, Max D, LAR, ELN and BLN. Multiple Logistic regression analysis were performed to determine the independent variables for prediction of lymph node metastasis. Results: The difference of tumor segmentation, pN stage, pTNM stage, total number of metastatic lymph nodes, total number of abdominal lymph node metastases, Min D, Max D, ELN and BLN between the two groups were statistically significant. The results of univariate and multivariate analyses showed that gender (OR=0.128, 95%CI: 0.019 to 0.858, P=0.034), pTNM stage (OR=1.514, 95%CI: 1.020 to 2.247, P=0.039), Min D (OR=0.102, 95%CI: 0.010 to 0.995, P=0.050) and LAR (OR=0.195, 95%CI: 0.052 to 0.731, P=0.015) were the independent relative factors. The area under the curve of ROC curve analysis of Min D, Max D, LAR, ELN and BLN were 0.679, 0.666, 0.561, 0.650 and 0.820, respectively. BLN was the best CT index to diagnosis lymph node metastasis, while the accuracy of dignosis of lymph node metastasis of BLN was 97.0%. The Youden index of Min D, Max D and LAR were 1.25 cm, 1.64 cm and 0.77, respectively. Combining the BLN and ELN had a higher diagnostic rate (97.0%) of lymph node metastasis. Conclusions CT has high diagnostic value for lymph node metastasis in thoracic esophagel cancer when the lymph node diameter is greater than 1 cm. BLN is the best diagnostic index for lymph node metastasis.

To investigate the feasibility, safety and short-term efficacy of modified inflatable video-mediastinoscopy in patients with early esophageal cancer. Methods The study retrospectively evaluated 54 patients with cT1N0M0 esophageal carcinoma who received minimally invasive esophagectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China between July 2017 and June 2018. Of those patients, 23 patients underwent modified inflatable video-assisted mediastinoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy(MIVMTS) and 31 underwent minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy (MIME). The clinicopathologic factors, operational factors, postoperative complications and lymph node dissection of patients were compared. Results There was no significant difference in clinicopathological data between the MIVMTS group and MIME group. The incidence of total minor postoperative complications, pulmonary infection of minior postoperative complications, total postoperative complications and total pulmonary complications in MIME group were higher than MIVMTS group. The incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, arrhythmia and air leaks in minior and pulmonary infection, chylothorax, anastomotic fistula in major postoprative complications were no different in the two groups with P >0. 05. The intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery and postoperative thoracic drainage fluid volume of MIVMTS group were less than MIME group, the difference was statistically significant. The postoperative hospitalization of the two groups have no statistics significance(P >0. 05). There were no significant difference in the lymph node dessection of the left laryngeal recurrent nerve lymph nodes, paraesophageal lymph nodes, subcarinal lymph nodes and superior phrenic lymph node of the two groups. However, when compared with MIVMTS group, the MIME group have advantage in the right laryngeal recurrent para-nerve lymph node dissection. Conclusion MIVMTS can be safely and effectively performed for early esophageal cancer with favorable short-term efficacy.

Objective To observe the impact of minimally invasive Sweet esophagectomy on short term quality of life for patients with Siewert typeⅡesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.Methods From January 2015 to September 2017, 60 patients underwent minimally invasive Sweet esophagectomy(MISE group) and 60 patients underwent open sweet esophagecto-my(OSE group).The questionnaires(EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OES18) were applied to assess the quality of life of the pa-tients before and 1,2,4,8 weeks after operation.The clinicopathologic factors, operational factors and postoperative complica-tions of the two groups were compared by t test and χ2test.The Mann-Whitney test was used to test for statistical significance because the responses were not normally distributed.Results The two groups were similar in terms of clinical characteristics and preoperative QOL scores(P ＞0.05).The MISE group was associated with a significant decrease in surgical blood loss [(88.1 ±32.2)ml vs.(119.5 ±34.1)ml, t＝5.052, P＝0.001], chest tube duration[(8.1 ±4.4)d vs.(10.5 ±4.0)d, t＝3.110, P＝0.002] and postoperative stay[(9.1 ±4.6)d vs.(11.6 ±3.8)d, t＝3.167, P＝0.002] relative to the OSE group.The postoperative in-hospital mortality and total morbidity did not differ between the two groups (P＞0.05).The MISE group was associated with significantly fewer respiratory complications than the OSE group (8.5%vs.22.7%, t＝4.063, P＝ 0.044).The MISE group was associated with a significant increase in hospitalization costs [(54 106 ±4 352) yuan vs. (51 143 ±5 315)yuan, P＝0.001] relative to the OSE group.MISE group gained higher scores in physical function, role func-tion, emotional function, Global QOL and lower scores in pain, fatigue, acid reflux than OSE group after surgery.Conclusion Our minimally invasive technique for Siewert typeⅡesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma can be safely and effectively performed with favorable early outcomes.Compared to conventional open Sweet approach, MISE impoved the short term quality of life after surgery.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility, safety, short-term efficacy and long-term efficacy of elective lymph node dissection in patients with early esophageal cancer. Methods: The study retrospectively evaluated 405 patients with cT1N0M0 esophageal carcinoma who received minimally invasive esophagectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China between March 2007 and March 2013. Of those patients, 208 patients underwent systematic lymph node dissection (SLND) and 197 patients underwent elective lymph node dissection (ELND). The clinicopathologic factors, operational factors, postoperative complications, lymph node dissection and prognosis of patients were compared by independent sample t test, χ² test, or Mann-Whitney rank test. The 5-year overall survival was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation method using the Log-rank test. Results: There was no significant difference in clinicopathological data between the SLND group and the ELND group. The incidence of pulmonary infection (8.2% vs. 2.9%, P=0.04) and arrhythmia (6.2% vs. 2.0%, P=0.03) of the minor postoperative complications in the SLND group were higher than the ELND group. The incidence of pulmonary infection (6.2% vs. 2.0%, P=0.03), Chylothorax (5.8% vs.1.5%, P=0.02), anastomotic or pleural hemorrhage requiring reoperation (2.9% vs.0.5%, P=0.04) of major postoperative complications in the SLND group were higher than the ELND group, the difference was statistically significant. In the perioperative data of two groups, the incidence of total postoperative complications, total pulmonary complications, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization, postoperative thoracic drainage duration and postoperative thoracic drainage fluid volume of the SLND group were higher than the ELND group, the difference was statistically significant. The mean numbers and stations of dissected lymph node in the SLND were 30.2±4.2 and 12.1±2.7, the mean numbers and stations of dissected lymph node in the ELND were 25.7±3.8 and 8.4±3.6. The survival rates of 1, 3, 5 years of all patients were 100%, 95.9% and 82.5%, respectively. The median survival time was 87.4 months. Further analysis showed that the 1, 3 and 5 years survival rate of patients with stage Ⅰ esophageal cancer was 100%, 97.1% and 88.9%, respectively. The median survival time was 89.3 months. The 1, 3 and 5 years survival rate of patients with stage Ⅱa esophageal cancer was 100%, 93.2% and 76.8%, respectively. The median survival time was 77.2 months. There was no significant difference in survival rate between the SLND group and the ELND group in 1, 3 and 5 years. When taking a further analysis of stage Ⅰ esophageal cancer, the survival rates between 188 patients in the SLND group and 180 patients in the ELND group were no significant difference. When focus on the stage Ⅱa esophageal cancer, the 1, 3 and 5 years survival rate were higher in the SLND group than that in the ELND group (100%, 94.5%, 83.2% vs. 100%, 91.3%, 72.1%, P=0.047), the difference was statistically significant.

Objective To investigate the changes in Th17 cells and CD4+CD25+regulatory T lym-phocytes ( Treg) as well as transcription factors and cytokines relating to them in children with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and to analyze their role and clinical significance. Methods Thirty-two children with newly diagnosed EBV-associated HLH in the Hematology/Oncology Department of Zhengzhou Children′s Hospital from January 2012 to December 2016 were enrolled in this study. Thirty healthy children taking physical examination in the same hospital in the corresponding period were recruited as controls. Percentages of Th17 and Treg cells in peripheral blood T lymphocytes were detected by flow cytometry. Expression of RORγt and Foxp3 at mRNA level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by real-time PCR. Levels of IL-6, IL-17, IL-10 and TGF-β1 in serum samples were measured by ELISA. Results Compared with the control group, the EBV-associated HLH group showed in-creased percentage of Th17 cells [(1. 09±0. 43)％ vs (0. 39±0. 19)％, P<0. 05] and enhanced expres-sion of RORγt at mRNA level [(1. 41±0. 37) vs (0. 67±0. 13), P<0. 05], but decreased percentage of Treg cells [(3. 66±1. 13)％ vs (6. 80±1. 15)％, P<0. 05] and inhibited expression of Foxp3 at mRNA level [(15. 97±5. 11) vs (30. 23±4. 95), P<0. 05]. All of the above mentioned changes were reversed af-ter treatment (P<0. 05). Serum levels of IL-6 and IL-17 of EBV-associated HLH group were higher than those of control group, while serum levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1 were lower (P<0. 05). Conclusion Im-balanced Th17/Treg cells might play an important role in the pathogenesis of EBV-associated HLH. Cyto-kines relating to the maintenance of Th17/Treg cell balance could be used as indicators of disease develop-ment.
