Trypanosoma dionisii in China: ecology and tentative epidemiology.

Background: Trypanosoma dionisii, one of several species that parasitizes Chiroptera worldwide, was first reported in a 30 year-old pregnant woman in China. It is important to improve our understanding of ecological and epidemiological patterns to identify potential transmission vectors and to estimate the risk of T. dionisii infection in the local population as well as in various species of domestic and wild animals.

A novel diagnosis methodology of gear oil for wind turbine combining Stepwise multivariate regression and clustered federated learning framework.

Data-driven approaches demonstrate significant potential in accurately diagnosing faults in wind turbines. To enhance diagnostic performance, we introduce a clustered federated learning framework (CFLF) for wind gear oil diagnosis. Initially, a stepwise multivariate regression (SMR) model is introduced and optimized after data processing, which integrates multiscale features and an AIC-diagnosis feature.

Clonorchis sinensis extracellular vesicles associated with Csi-let-7a-5p activate pro-inflammatory macrophages to induce biliary injury.

Advancing knowledge of One Health in China: lessons for One Health from China's dengue control and prevention programs.

Background: The emergence of dengue fever has prompted significant public health responses, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of One Health in addressing vector-borne diseases. China's experience in dengue control and prevention programs offers valuable insights into the successful integration of multidisciplinary strategies.

Aims: The review aims to: (1) systematically analyze lessons from China's dengue control and prevention programs, focusing on the integration of these efforts with the One Health approach; (2) underscore the reasons of optimizing the dengue control and prevention program; (3) highlight the alignment of China's dengue control strategies with the One Health framework; (4) contribute to global efforts in combating dengue, providing scientific evidence and strategic recommendations for other regions facing similar challenges.

Association of preoperative cognitive frailty with postoperative complications in older patients under general anesthesia: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Cognitive frailty (CF) is characterized by the coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, and it is associated with adverse health outcomes. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to CF due to factors such as age-related brain changes and the presence of comorbidities.

Objective: To investigate the effect of preoperative CF on postoperative complications in older patients.

The protective effects of BMSA1 and BMSA5-1-1 proteins against Babesia microti infection.

The intracellular parasite Babesia microti is among the most significant species causing human babesiosis and is an emerging threat to human health worldwide. Unravelling the pathogenic molecular mechanisms of babesiosis is crucial in developing new diagnostic and preventive methods. This study assessed how priming with B.

Effect of pyrolysis temperature on the binding characteristics of DOM derived from livestock manure biochar with Cu(II).

Biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (BDOM) has the potential to influence the environmental application of biochar and the behavior of heavy metals. In this study, the binding properties of BDOM derived from livestock manure biochar at different pyrolysis temperatures with Cu(II) were investigated based on a multi-analytical approach. The results showed that the DOC concentration, aromatics, and humification degree of BDOM were higher in the process of low pyrolysis of biochar.

Aging of polystyrene microplastics by UV/Sodium percarbonate oxidation: Organic release, mechanism, and disinfection by-product formation.

The occurrence and transformation of microplastics (MPs) in environment has attracted considerable attention. However, the release characteristics of MP-derived dissolved organic matter (MP-DOM) under oxidation conditions and the effect of DOM on subsequent chlorination disinfection by-product (DBP) still lacks relevant information. This study focused on the conversion of polystyrene microplastics (PSMPs) in the advanced oxidation of ultraviolet-activated sodium percarbonate (UV/SPC-AOP) and the release characteristics of MP-DOM.

Impact factors of Blastocystis hominis infection in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus: a large-scale, multi-center observational study from China.

Background: Blastocystis hominis (Bh) is zoonotic parasitic pathogen with a high prevalent globally, causing opportunistic infections and diarrhea disease. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection disrupts the immune system by depleting CD4 T lymphocyte (CD4 T) cell counts, thereby increasing Bh infection risk among persons living with HIV (PLWH). However, the precise association between Bh infection risk and HIV-related biological markers and treatment processes remains poorly understood.

Risk factors for surgical site infection in patients with gastric cancer: A meta-analysis.

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is one of the common postoperative complications after gastric cancer surgery. Previous studies have explored the risk factors (such as age, diabetes, anaemia and ASA score) for SSI in patients with gastric cancer. However, there are large differences in the research results, and the correlation coefficients of different research results are quite different.

Enhanced phosphatidylserine exposure and erythropoiesis in -infected mice.

Introduction: is the dominant species responsible for human babesiosis, which is associated with severe hemolytic anemia and splenomegaly because it infects mammalian erythrocytes. The actual prevalence of is thought to have been substantially underestimated.

Methods: In this study, Bagg's albino/c (BALB/c) mice were intraperitoneally injected with -infected erythrocytes, and parasitemia was subsequently measured by calculating the proportion of infected erythrocytes.

Optimal control strategies of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron supported by invasive and dynamic models.

Roles of microplastic-derived dissolved organic matter on the photodegradation of organic micropollutants.

Microplastic-derived dissolved organic matter (MP-DOM) is ubiquitous in water environment and exhibits photosensitivity. However, little is known about the effects of MP-DOM on the photodegradation of organic micropollutants in natural water. In this study, we investigated the effect of MP-DOM derived from two typical plastics, i.

A COVID-19 Outbreak Emerging in a Food Processing Company - Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, China, January-February 2021.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic in China had been effectively controlled for several months, but as the ambient temperature dropped, large gathering-initiated epidemics occurred in northern China, including Hebei, Liaoning, and Jilin provinces. A sudden epidemic emerged in Wangkui County, Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province, on January 9, 2021. An asymptomatically-infected resident of Harbin City returned from Suihua and triggered a large-scale outbreak in the Zhengda Food Processing Company in Harbin, Heilongjiang.
