ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Gandou Fumu Granules （GDFMG） combined with sodium dimercaptosulphonate （DMPS） on liver fibrosis in Wilson disease （WD） patients with the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis， evaluate its effect on cuproptosis-related indicators， and explore the possible mechanisms of cuproptosis in WD-related liver fibrosis. MethodsSixty WD patients diagnosed with the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis between January 2023 and December 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group， with 30 patients in each group. The control group received the copper chelator DMPS for the first 6 days， followed by calcium gluconate injection for the next 2 days， completing an 8-day treatment cycle. The observation group received GDFMG in addition to the treatment regimen of the control group， with both groups treated for 21 cycles. A Beckman fully automated biochemical analyzer was used to detect levels of type Ⅳ collagen （CⅣ）， hyaluronic acid （HA）， laminin （LN）， N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅲ procollagen （PⅢ-NP）， and serum copper （SCu） before and after treatment in both groups. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure levels of ferredoxin 1 （FDX1）， lipoic acid synthetase （LIAS）， and dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase （DLAT）. Atomic absorption spectroscopy measured 24-hour urine copper levels before treatment and after the 7， 14， and 21 treatment cycles in both groups. An Fibro Touch （FT） non-invasive liver fibrosis diagnostic device was used to measure liver stiffness （LSM） in both groups before and after treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score （TCMSS） was evaluated at the same intervals. Clinical efficacy， adverse events， and safety indicators were also compared. ResultsAfter treatment， levels of CⅣ， HA， LN， and PⅢNP significantly decreased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels （P<0.01）. The observation group showed a more pronounced reduction compared to the control group （P<0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in SCu levels in both groups before and after treatment. After treatment， levels of FDX1，LIAS and DLAT significantly increased in both groups（P<0.01）. The observation group showed more notable improvements in these indicators than the control group （P<0.05）. After the 7， 14， 21 treatment cycles， 24-hour urine copper levels significantly increased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels （P<0.01）. The observation group had a greater increase in 24-hour urine copper levels than the control group after treatment （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and although 24-hour urine copper levels increased after 7 cycles， a gradual decline was observed in subsequent cycles. After treatment， LSM levels significantly decreased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels （P<0.01）， with the observation group showing a greater reduction than the control group （P<0.05）. Clinical efficacy was significantly better in the observation group than the control group （P<0.05）. No significant differences in the incidence of adverse events or safety indicators were observed between the two groups after treatment. ConclusionGDFMG combined with DMPS can reduce LSM in WD patients with liver fibrosis and the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis， inhibit cuproptosis， and improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the population density and seasonal fluctuations of Aedes albopictus in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, from 2021 to 2023, so as to provide insights into A. albopictus control and management of dengue fever. Methods The surveillance of A. albopictus density was performed in all surveillance sites assigned across all streets (townships) in Guangzhou City during the period from January to December from 2021 to 2023. The surveillance frequency was twice every half month from May to September, and once every month for the rest of a year. In each surveillance period, A. albopictus mosquito larvae were captured from indoor and outdoor small water containers in residential areas, parks, medical facilities, schools, other government sectors and social organizations, construction sites, special industries and others for mosquito species identification. Adult mosquitoes were captured using electric mosquito suction apparatus for species identification and gender classification. Adult mosquitoes and mosquito eggs were collected with mosquito and egg traps at the breeding and dwelling places of Aedes mosquitoes for identification. The mosquito oviposition index (MOI), Breteau index (BI), adult mosquito density index (ADI) and standard space index (SSI) were calculated. The A. albopictus density was classified into grades 0, 1, 2 and 3 in each surveillance site, with Grade 0 density defined eligible, and the eligible rate of A. albopictus density was calculated at all surveillance sites each year from 2021 to 2023. In addition, the changing trends in MOI, SSI, BI and ADI of A. albopictus were analyzed in Guangzhou City from 2021 to 2023. Results The eligible rates of A. albopictus density were 61.69%, 68.75% and 55.15% in surveillance sites of Guangzhou City from 2021 to 2023 (χ² = 297.712, P < 0.001), and appeared a tendency towards a reduction followed by a rise each year, which gradually reduced since January, maintained at a low level during the period between May and October, and gradually increased from November to December. The MOI, SSI, BI and ADI of A. albopictus all appeared a tendency towards a rise followed by a reduction in Guangzhou City during the period between January and December from 2021 to 2023. The BI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of June in 2021 (4.03), the first half of July in 2022 (3.89) and the last half of August in 2023 (5.02), and the SSI of A. albopictus peaked in the last half of June in 2021 (0.93), the last half of May in 2022 (0.59), and the last half of June (0.94) and the first half of September in 2023 (1.12). In addition, the MOI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of May in 2021 (8.64), the first half of June in 2022 (8.96), and the last half of May (10.21) and the last half of June in 2023 (10.89), and the ADI of A. albopictus peaked in the first half of June in 2021 (3.41), the last half of June in 2022 (4.06), and the first half of July in 2023 (3.61). Conclusions The density of A. albopictus is high in Guangzhou City during the period from May to October, and the risk of local outbreak caused by imported dengue fever is high. Persistent intensified surveillance of the density and seasonal fluctuation of A. albopictus is recommended and timely mosquito prevention and control is required according to the fluctuation in the A. albopictus density.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,with the improvement of living standards,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has a gradually increasing trend.miRNA-122 is one of the most abundant microRNAs in the liver,which plays an important role in maintaining the environmental stability and differentiation of the liver.Exercise training is a non-drug treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,which may improve liver lipid metabolism by regulating the expression of miRNA-122. OBJECTIVE:To review the effects of miRNA-122 on the pathological factors related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as well as the effects of exercise on the expression of miRNA-122 and the occurrence and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. METHODS:The first author searched the databases of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Geenmedical,EBSCO,Medline,Web of Science,and Elsevier using"non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,microRNA,microRNA-122,lipid metabolism,inflammatory response,insulin resistance,exercise,physical exercise,exercise training"as the English and Chinese search terms for all relevant literature published before June 5,2022.All included documents were screened,summarized,and analyzed.Finally,68 documents were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the healthy control group,the expression of circulating miRNA-122 is increased in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.The level of miRNA-122 may show different expression levels at different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.miRNA-122 can regulate the expression of downstream-related proteins,influence lipid metabolism,inflammatory response,insulin resistance and other pathogenic factors in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by targeting base complementary pairing sites on mRNA or directly acting as physiological ligands of some RNA receptors.Different exercise modes can improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Therefore,patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease need to complete at least 120 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week to have a positive effect.For patients who can tolerate various exercises,priority should be given to the combination of aerobic and resistance exercises 4-5 times a week.The exercise intensity should be 50%-70%of the maximum heart rate and the exercise should last for>3 months.For patients with poor tolerance,resistance exercise may be more feasible than aerobic exercise.In addition,patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can also choose proper exercise modes according to their own disease conditions(such as liver enzymes and lipid levels).Exercise can be used as a feasible strategy to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,reduce liver steatosis,and alleviate liver inflammatory response and insulin resistance.Exercise training can regulate the expression of miRNA-122,but in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,the effect of exercise on miRNA-122 and its related signal pathways remains to be studied.

{L-End}Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of leg work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in shipbuilding workers. {L-End}Methods A total of 3 393 shipbuilding workers from Guangdong Province, Liaoning Province, Shandong Province, and Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The Chinese Version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of leg WMSDs in the past year. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of leg WMSDs. {L-End}Results The prevalence of leg WMSDs in the research subjects was 11.3% (382/3 393). The result of multivariate logistic regression showed that the risk of leg WMSDs was higher in workers with a length of service >10 years than those with a length of service <5 years (P<0.05). Workers with frequent used of vibration tools at work had higher the risk of leg WMSDs (all P<0.05). Workers who did the same work every day, had insufficient rest time, had a shortage of department staff, and those who often repeated the same leg movements had a higher risk of leg WMSDs (all P<0.05). The risk of leg WMSDs in workers who sometimes stand for a long time was lower than that in workers who rarely stand for a long time (P<0.01). {L-End}Conclusion Length of service, rarely long-standing work, use of vibration tools at work, daily engagement in the same work, in-adequate rest time, shortage of department staff, and frequent repetition of the same leg movements are all influencing factors for leg WMSDs in shipbuilding workers.
