Recently, there has been an increasing risk of importation of tropical diseases into China and the resultant re-transmission in the country with the in-depth implementation of the “Belt and Road” Initiative, which poses a serious threat to the national public health security. To effectively respond to the cross-border transmission risk of tropical diseases and facilitate the process towards tropical disease control and elimination in China and the countries along the “Belt and Road” Initiative, this article analyzes the current status and governance risks of major imported tropical diseases, cross-border joint prevention and control polices implemented for tropical diseases and challenges in the establishment of the joint prevention and control system for tropical diseases in China, and discusses the establishment and implementation path of the joint prevention and control system for tropical diseases in countries along the “Belt and Road” Initiative. This path covers the establishment of cross-border cooperation mechanisms, research and development and pilot production of Chinese public health products, and implementation of key cross-border tropical disease prevention and control projects. The establishment of this system will further improve Chinese prevention and control capabilities for key cross-border tropical diseases, build a demonstrative prevention and control model for tropical diseases, and promote international technical exchanges and cooperation of tropical diseases.

Objective To analyze the structural and phylogenetic characteristics of the mitochondrial genome from Bulinus globosus, so as to provide a theoretical basis for classification and identification of species within the Bulinus genus, and to provide insights into understanding of Bulinus-schistosomes interactions and the mechanisms of parasite transmission. Methods B. globosus samples were collected from the Ruya River basin in Zimbabwe. Mitochondrial DNA was extracted from B. globosus samples and the corresponding libraries were constructed for high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. After raw sequencing data were subjected to quality control using the fastp software, genome assembly was performed using the A5-miseq and SPAdes tools, and genome annotation was conducted using the MITOS online server. Circular maps and sequence plots of the mitochondrial genome were generated using the CGView and OGDRAW software, and the protein conservation motifs and structures were analyzed using the TBtools software. Base composition and codon usage bias were analyzed and visualized using the software MEGA X and the ggplot2 package in the R software. In addition, a phylogenetic tree was created in the software MEGA X after sequence alignment with the software MAFFT 7, and visualized using the software iTOL. Results The mitochondrial genome of B. globosus was a 13 730 bp double-stranded circular molecule, containing 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 13 protein-coding genes, with a marked AT preference. The mitochondrial genome composition of B. globosus was similar to that of other species within the Bulinus genus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of B. globosus was clustered with B. truncatus, B. nasutus, and B. ugandae into the same evolutionary clade, and gene superfamily analysis showed that the metabolism-related proteins of B. globosus were highly conserved, notably the cytochrome c oxidase family, which showed a significant consistency. Conclusions This is the first whole mitochondrial genome sequencing to decode the compositional features of the mitochondrial genome of B. globosus from Zimbabwe and its evolutionary relationship within the Bulinus genus, which provides important insights for further understanding of the phylogeny and mitochondrial genome characteristics of the Bulinus genus.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality differences of Alpinia katsumadai from different habitats. METHODS High- performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） was used to establish the fingerprints of A. katsumadai from 18 batches of different habitats， and the quality of A. katsumadai from different habitats was comprehensively evaluated by similarity evaluation， cluster analysis （CA）， principal component analysis （PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） and the content determination results of alpinetin， pinocembrin， cardamonin and alnustone in A. katsumadai. RESULTS The similarity of HPLC fingerprints for 18 batches of A. katsumadai was ＞0.9. Eleven common peaks were identified from the chromatogram， and four of them were specifically characterized. Both CA and PCA grouped 18 batches of A. katsumadai into 3 categories， extracting 2 principal components （the cumulative variance contribution rate reached 89.798%）. OPLS-DA identified 9 quality difference markers， namely the components corresponding to peaks 4， 9， 3， 2， 7 （pinocembrin）， 8 （cardamonin）， 6 （alpinetin）， 10 and 11 （alnustone）. The content of alpinetin， pinocembrin， cardamonin， and alnustone ranged from 4.507 1-11.579 7， 5.154 4-14.183 3， 5.109 5-13.588 3 and 4.494 6-11.277 2 mg/g， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The quality of A. katsumadai from different habitats is quite different， and the quality of A. katsumadai from Hainan is the best.

Objective To clarify the impact of GATA2 overexpression on transcriptional expression in chicken preadipocytes.Methods Chicken preadipocytes ICP1 were cultivated,pCMV-myc-GATA2 or pCMV-myc plasmid was transfected,Western blot was used to verify the overexpression of GATA2 in cells,RNA-seq was used to study the changes in cell transcriptome expression caused by overexpression of GATA2,ChIP-seq was used to study the binding of GATA2 in the genome,Real time PCR was used to verify some differentially expressed genes,ChIP-PCR was used to verify the collection of GATA2 to TAF3 genes.Results Transfection of pCMV-myc-GATA2 allowed overexpression of GATA2 protein in ICP1 cells;overexpression of GATA2 resulted in up-regulation of 942 genes and down-regulation of 840 genes in ICP1 cells(P＜0.05),and enrichment analysis showed that differentially ex-pressed genes were associated with ribosome and mitochondrial structure and function(P＜0.01);GESA analysis showed that the expression of GATA2-overexpressing ICP1 cells showed up-regulation of RNA polymerase Ⅱ tran-scription initiation complex,ribosome biogenesis,propionate metabolism,and oxidative phosphorylation-related gene sets,and down-regulation of histone lysine N-methyltransferase,nuclear transcription repression complex formation,adipokines,and calcium ions signaling pathway-related gene sets.ChIP-seq in ICP1 cells identified 2833 GATA2-binding genomic peaks involving 2018 genes.motif analysis revealed GATA2-binding(T/A)GATA motifs;enrich-ment analysis showed that these genes are involved in embryonic development,signaling,cellular metabolism,and cell-cell interactions.Differently expressed genes and GATA2-binding genes were taken to intersect to obtain 105 genes,and enrichment analysis showed that these genes were associated with transcription,post-transcriptional regu-lation,cell-cell interactions,signaling,and cell cycle(P＜0.001).Conclusion GATA2 can at least bind to the genome of chicken preadipocytes to regulate their transcriptome expression patterns.

Objective To study the changes and mechanism of skin stem cells in microgravity.Methods The skin stem cells of SD rats were used to establish a suspension culture system and compare the proliferation of skin stem cells with 1G gravity.Results The simulated microgravity significantly affected the velocity of skin stem cell sphere proliferation in suspension culture,which was about 12%higher than the 1G gravity group.Transcriptome sequencing showed that 1673 genes were up-regulated and 1409 genes were downregulated;Calcium signaling;cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and PPAR pathway were different in the two environments.Conclusion Simulation of microgravity can affect the proliferation behavior of skin stem cells in suspension culture by regulating the expression of key signaling pathways,which provides an experimental basis for further research in spatial microgravity environ ment.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are one of the most severe complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This study includes 31 cases of aplastic anemia (AA) patients who developed PTLD after haploidentical transplantation, summarizing their clinical characteristics and categorizing them into either rituximab monotherapy group or combination therapy group based on whether their condition improved by 1 log after a single dose of rituximab. The incidence of PTLD after HSCT in children with AA was 10.16%, and the incidence of PTLD in patients with age >10 years was significantly increased ( χ2=11.336, P=0.010). Of the 31 patients, 27 were clinically diagnosed and 4 were pathologically confirmed. Finally, 15 patients were classified into the rituximab treatment group and 15 patients into the combination treatment groups. Finally three patients died, and the 2-year overall survival rate was (89.7±5.6) %. Standard pre-treatment protocols and EBV reactivation are risk factors affecting the prognosis of PTLD. There was no statistically significant difference in the impact of the two treatment schemes on prognosis.

Objective:To explore the causes and therapeutic effects of pelvic pain caused by rectal fistula or bladder fistula after comprehensive treatment of cervical cancer and rectal cancer (radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatments).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data of patients with pelvic tumors admitted to the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan City, Ningxia and the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2016 to June 2022. The causes of persistent pelvic pain in patients after comprehensive treatment was investigated, and the corresponding therapeutic effects after clinical treatment was observed.Results:Thirty-two tumor patients experienced persistent pain after comprehensive treatment, including 22 cases of cervical cancer and 10 cases of rectal cancer. The preoperative pain of the entire group of patients was evaluated using the digital grading method, with a pain score of (7.88±1.31) points. Among the 32 patients, there were 16 cases of rectovaginal fistula or ileovaginal fistula, 9 cases of vesicovaginal fistula, 5 cases of rectoperineal fistula, and 2 cases of vesicovaginorectal fistula. Thirty-two patients were initially treated with medication to relieve pain, and according to the ruptured organs, a fistula was made to the corresponding proximal intestinal canal and renal pelvis to intercept the intestinal contents and urine. However, the pain did not significantly be improved. The pain score of treatment with the above methods for one week was (8.13±1.13) points, and there was no statistically significant difference compared to preoperative treatment ( P=0.417). In the later stage, based on a comprehensive evaluation of whether the tumor had recurred, the value of organ preservation, the benefits of surgery, the balance between survival time and improving quality of life, pathological organ resection or repair was performed. The surgical methods included repair of leaks, local debridement combined with irrigation of proximal intestinal fluid, distal closure of the sigmoid colon combined with proximal ostomy, posterior pelvic organ resection, anterior pelvic organ resection, and total pelvic organ resection. One week after surgery, the patients' pain completely relieved or disappeared, with the pain score of (1.72±1.37) points, which was significantly divergent from the preoperative and initial surgical treatments ( P＜0.001). Conclusions:Palliative pyelostomy and proximal enterostomy cannot effectively alleviate persistent pelvic floor pain. The fundamental way to alleviate pain is complete blocking of the inflammatory erosion of the intestinal fluid and urine.

Critical care medicine-related treatment is an interdisciplinary and multi-professional process,often leading to secondary or concomitant mental disorders in clinical practice.Currently,there is no consensus on the pharmacological treatment of related mental illnesses in China.The Chinese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine collaborated with the Critical Care Medicine expert group to form a consensus writing expert group.After a systematic review of relevant literature,summarizing published domestic and foreign literature,and extensive discussions,the consensus was developed.The consensus elaborates on the principles and processes of the standardized use of psychotropic drugs in critical care medicine,as well as the clinical indications,precautions,and specific drug selection of various psychiatric medications,providing feasible suggestions and guidance for the clinical application of psychiatric medications in the intensive care unit.

Objective:To analyze the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation intervention on the physical functioning of frail elderly persons.Methods:A total of 318 frail elderly persons were randomly divided into a control group ( n=164) and an observation group ( n=154) to test different interventions. Propensity score matching was used to balance the baseline information between the two groups 1∶1. A total of 200 cases were successfully matched, with 100 cases in each group. Both groups received drug treatment and routine nursing, while the observation group was additionally provided with comprehensive rehabilitation. Before and after 4 weeks of the treatment, both groups were evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) scoring for their perception of pain intensity, hand grip strength, gait speed, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), 5 sit-up time, and the timed up and go test (TUGT). Results:There were no significant differences between the groups in any of the measurements before the experiment. Afterward, all of the outcome measures except gait speed were significantly better among the experimental group than among the controls, on average.Conclusions:Comprehensive rehabilitation can relieve pain, improve the walking, handgrip strength and exercise endurance of the frail elderly.
