    Abstract Objective: To understand the epidemic situation of schistosomiasis in Jiujiang City, so as to provide the evidence for formulating further control strategy.
    Methods: The data of schistosomiasis control were collected in Jiujiang City from 2008 to 2014. and the indicators including the annual schistosome infections of human and cattle, acute schistosome infection, outbreak of schistosomiasis endemic, schistosome infected Oncomelania hupensis snails were analyzed statistically.
    Results: Compared with 2008, in 2014, the infection rates of schistosomiasis declined by 98.40% and 92.54% in human and cattle respectively. The area of schistosome infected snails decreased from 103.24 hm² to zero. The occurrence rate of frames with snails and density of living snails declined from 14.86% and 0.334 5/0.1 m² to 6.89% and 0.126 5/0.1 m², respectively. The acute schistosomiasis infection cases occurred except 2011 and 2014.
    Conclusion: The control strategy emphasizing on infection sources control is effective in Jiujiang City, but the risk of schistosomiasis still exists, and the risk control and schistosomiasis control strategy should be strengthened.

    Abstract Understanding the response mechanism winter wheat growth in response to climate change is critical for winter wheat production and field management. Therefore, in this study, we employed relative contribution and path analysis along with a crop model and remote sensing data to investigate to the effect of climate on winter wheat production for the 2009–2019 period in China’s Guanzhong Plain (GZP). We registered three key findings. First, winter wheat yield and water use efficiency (WUE) were increasing in the central-south and eastern GZP and were decreasing in the central-north and western GZP. Average temperature (Tₐᵥg) influenced winter wheat production by shorting vegetative and reproductive stage. Net solar radiation (Rₙ) and sunshine hours (Ssh) affected winter wheat production by altering irrigation requirements (IRs), and precipitation (P) had a strong correlation with yield and WUE despite a limited contribution. Second, climatic factors were not independent, and they affected each other; Tₐᵥg and P mainly affected winter wheat production through Rₙ and Ssh. Finally, approximately 90% of the variation in yield and WUE of winter wheat could be explained by IRs and phenology, the yield and WUE decreased with an increase in IRs, and the prolongation of the reproductive stage exerted a positive effect on winter wheat production and effectively offset the negative effect of the shortening of the vegetative stage. This means that the adoption of long-lasting winter wheat varieties and high irrigation levels in a changing climate benefit winter wheat production and may be a viable strategy for adaptation to climate change. The results provide potentially valuable information for alleviating the impact of climate change on winter wheat production and improving the planting management of winter wheat in the GZP.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in the world. The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway plays a crucial role in modulating immune response to cancer, and PD-L1 expression has been observed in tumor and immune cells within the tumor microenvironment of CRC. Thus, immunotherapy drugs, specifically checkpoint inhibitors, have been developed to target the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 and restoring T-cell function in cancer cells. However, the emergence of resistance mechanisms can reduce the efficacy of these treatments. To counter this, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been used to improve the efficacy of CRC treatments. mAbs such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab are currently approved for CRC treatment. These antibodies impede immune checkpoint receptors, including PD-1/PD-L1, and their combination therapy shows promise in the treatment of advanced CRC. This review presents a concise overview of the use of the PD-1/PD-L1 blockade as a therapeutic strategy for CRC using monoclonal antibodies and combination therapies. Additionally, this article outlines the function of PD-1/PD-L1 as an immune response suppressor in the CRC microenvironment as well as the potential advantages of administering inflammatory agents for CRC treatment. Finally, this review analyzes the outcomes of clinical trials to examine the challenges of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapeutic resistance.

    Abstract Background: Accurate prediction of occult lymph node metastasis (ONM) is an important basis for determining whether lymph node (LN) dissection is necessary in clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma patients. The aim of this study is to determine the best machine learning algorithm for radiomics modeling and to compare the performances of the radiomics model, the clinical-radilogical model and the combined model incorporate both radiomics features and clinical-radilogical features in preoperatively predicting ONM in clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma patients.
    Methods: Patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma undergoing curative surgery from one institution were retrospectively recruited and assigned to training and test cohorts. Radiomics features were extracted from the preoperative computed tomography (CT) images of the primary tumor. Seven machine learning algorithms were used to construct radiomics models, and the model with the best performance, evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), was selected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed on the clinical-radiological features to identify statistically significant features and to develop a clinical model. The optimal radiomics and clinical models were integrated to build a combined model, and its predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves, Brier score, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
    Results: This study included 258 patients who underwent resection (training cohort, n=182; test cohort, n=76). Six radiomics features were identified. Among the seven machine learning algorithms, extreme gradient boosting (XGB) demonstrated the highest performance for radiomics modeling, with an AUC of 0.917. The combined model improved the AUC to 0.933 and achieved a Brier score of 0.092. DCA revealed that the combined model had optimal clinical efficacy.
    Conclusions: The superior performance of the combined model, based on XGB algorithm in predicting ONM in patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, might aid surgeons in deciding whether to conduct mediastinal LN dissection and contribute to improve patients' prognosis.

    Abstract In order to investigate the chemical composition and source apportionment of aerosols during winter in the Beijing-Tianjin-Heibei region, the particular matter (PM) and aerosol chemical composition at Mt. Haituo were observed by using a GRIMM 180, a single-particle soot photometer (SP2), and a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-TOF-AMS) from December 28, 2020 to February 3, 2021. Combining these observations with meteorological data and the HYSPLIT model, we calculated the potential source contribution factor (PSCF) and concentration weighted trajectory (CWT) and analyzed the temporal evolution and potential sources apportionment of PM and aerosol chemical composition under different pollution processes. The results showed that the dust storm process mainly affected PM

    Abstract Diabetic wound is one of the serious complications of diabetes, and the wound is persistent and easily recurring, which seriously endangers the health and life of patients. How to effectively promote the healing of diabetic wounds has been a hot spot and difficult area of clinical research. Some previous studies have shown that dihydromyricetin has the effects of regulating blood glucose, controlling the severity and inhibiting scarring. In the present study, we used PLGA nanoparticles as a carrier to load dihydromyricetin to make drug-loaded nanoparticles and applied them dropwise (200 µL) to diabetic mice wounds by topical application to observe the healing and scar formation of diabetic wounds. We found that the healing rate of the diabetic mice was faster and the scar formation was less obvious. In addition, the elevated blood glucose level and weight loss of the mice in the treatment group were also reduced. Therefore, nanoparticle-mediated dihydromyricetin may be an effective treatment for diabetic wounds.

    Abstract This study aimed to examine the morphological, physiological, and biochemical alterations occurring in Notopterygium incisum seeds throughout their developmental stages, with the objective of establishing a theoretical foundation for the cultivation of superior quality seeds. The experimental materials utilized in this study were the seeds of N. incisum at various stages of development following anthesis. Through the employment of morphological observation and plant physiology techniques, the external morphology, nutrients, enzyme activity, and endogenous hormones of the seeds were assessed. The results revealed a transition in seed coat color from light green to brown during the growth and development of N. incisum seeds. Additionally, as the seeds matured, a decrease in water content was observed. Conversely, starch content exhibited a progressive increase, while sucrose content displayed fluctuations. At 7 days after anthesis, the soluble sugar content attained its highest level of 4.52 mg·g~(-1), whereas the soluble protein content reached its maximum of 6.00 mg·g~(-1) at 14 days after anthesis and its minimum of 4.94 mg·g~(-1) at 42 days after anthesis. The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) exhibited an initial increase, followed by a decrease, and eventually reached a stable state. Conversely, the activities of catalase(CAT) and peroxidase(POD) demonstrated a decrease initially, followed by an increase, and then another decrease. The levels of the four endogenous hormones, namely gibberellin(GA_3), zeatin riboside(ZR), auxin(IAA), and abscisic acid(ABA), in the seeds displayed significant variations, with IAA and ABA exhibiting considerably higher levels compared to the other hormones. The levels of plant growth-promoting hormones, represented by IAA, generally displayed a pattern of initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease during seed development, while the plant growth-inhibiting hormone ABA showed the opposite trend. The findings indicate that the alterations in nutrient composition, antioxidant enzyme activity, and endogenous hormone levels vary throughout the maturation process of N. incisum seeds. These observations hold relevance for the cultivation of N. incisum seeds.
