Article Synopsis
- - Culicoides spp., small biting midges, are important vectors of viruses like African horse sickness and bluetongue that affect livestock; a study in Yunnan Province, China examined their diversity and abundance on two cattle farms from March 2022 to March 2023.
- - Light traps collected 19 species of Culicoides, with C. oxystoma being the most prevalent, making up over 63% of the total 8,343 specimens; 10 species were screened for several viruses using RT-qPCR.
- - Notably, one strain of Yunnan Orbivirus was isolated from cattle blood, and the first connection between a totivirus (YSToV) and Culicoides was found
Background: This study aims to investigate the relationship between gestational metabolic syndrome (GMS) and the Chinese Healthy Eating Index (CHEI) in mid-pregnancy, and to identify potentially beneficial or high-risk dietary habits. We have developed a mid-pregnancy version of CHEI-2022, adapting the Chinese Healthy Eating Index to align with the food quantity recommendations outlined in the 2022 Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents for mid-pregnancy.
Methods: Using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, data from 2411 mid-pregnant individuals were collected through interviews.
Article Synopsis
- Culicoides are small biting midges that can transmit viruses like bluetongue and Akabane, which are harmful to livestock.
- A study in Shizong County, Yunnan Province, China, collected over 21,000 Culicoides specimens over a year to analyze their abundance and species related to these viruses.
- The findings showed that C. tainanus, C. jacobsoni, and C. oxystoma are the primary midge pests affecting livestock and should be included in future disease assessments.
Background: As one of the subsets of CD8 T cells, Tc17 cells have recently been identified and are characterized by the secretion of interleukin (IL)-17, which is related to inflammatory diseases.
Aim: To assess the status of Tc17 cells in cervical cancer and investigate the biological function of Tc17 cells in cervical cancer development.
Methods: Flow cytometry assay, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the levels and phenotype of Tc17 cells in blood and tumor samples from patients with cervical cancer.
