[Characteristics of Phytoplankton Community Structure in Lakes of Wetlands Dominated by Different Aquatic Plants and Its Driving Factors].

In wetland ecosystems, small shallow lakes are critical transition zones of land and water, which are usually dominated by aquatic plants with different growth forms. However, the differences and key influencing factors of phytoplankton communities in shallow lakes dominated by different aquatic plants are unclear. On this basis, nine surveys were conducted at five sampling sites of three lakes in Zhangye National Wetland Park from June to November in 2022, which were respectively dominated by the emergent （LL）, the submerged （CL）, and the floating-leaved （SL）.

Associations between maternal stressful life events experiences and risk of neural tube defects in offspring: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Multiple factors associated with neural tube defects (NTDs) risk have been identified, yet there is little evidence on the possible effects of maternal stressful life events. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between stressful life events during the periconceptional period and risk of NTDs in offspring.

Methods: Relevant literature was searched in PubMed, Springer Link, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library up to July 2023.

Vectors, Hosts, and the Possible Risk Factors Associated with Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a disease caused by infection with the SFTS virus (SFTSV). SFTS has become a crucial public health concern because of the heavy burden, lack of vaccines, effective therapies, and high-fatality rate. Evidence suggests that SFTSV circulates between ticks and animals in nature and is transmitted to humans by tick bites.

Clinical Effectiveness of Intravenous Peramivir Compared With Oseltamivir in Patients With Severe Influenza A With Primary Viral Pneumonia: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: High-quality evidence confirms that the clinical efficacy of peramivir in severe influenza patients with primary viral pneumonia is lacking. To optimize clinical medication, we evaluate the different efficacy between peramivir and oseltamivir in the treatment of severe influenza A with primary viral pneumonia.

Methods: A single-center, randomized, controlled trial was conducted during the Chinese influenza season from December 2018 to April 2019 in patients with severe influenza A with primary viral pneumonia.

Relationships between traditional larval indices and meteorological factors with the adult density of Aedes albopictus captured by BG-mosquito trap.

Objectives: Larval indices have been used for Ae. albopictus surveillance for many years, while there is limited use in assessing dengue transmission risk and adult mosquito emergence. This study is aimed to explore the relationships between larval indices and the Ae.

Resistance of House Fly, L. (Diptera: Muscidae), to Five Insecticides in Zhejiang Province, China: The Situation in 2017.

Objectives: High dependency on pesticides could cause selection pressure leading to the development of resistance. This study was conducted to assess the resistance of the house fly, , to five insecticides, namely, permethrin, deltamethrin, beta-cypermethrin, propoxur, and dichlorvos, in Zhejiang Province.

Methods: Field strains of house flies were collected from the 12 administrative districts in Zhejiang Province in 2011, 2014, and 2017, respectively.

A Retrospective Analysis of Three Antiviral Regimens of Peramivir in the Treatment of Severe Influenza A with Primary Viral Pneumonia.

Objective: To evaluate the difference of clinical efficacy of peramivir alone and peramivir combined with immunomodulators (either ribonucleic acid or thymopetidum) in the treatment of severe influenza A with primary viral pneumonia.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was applied to 45 patients who were diagnosed with severe influenza A with primary viral pneumonia in our hospital from December 2017 to March 2018. The cases were divided into three groups: the peramivir group, the peramivir combined with ribonucleic acid group, and the peramivir combined with thymopetidum group.

Association between maternal education level and gestational diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis.

The association between maternal education and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been discussed in considerable studies, yet the inconsistent findings still exist. The aim of this study is to investigate whether maternal education level is associated with GDM risk. PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to October 2018.

Zika Virus Infection and Microcephaly: Evidence for a Causal Link.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus related to the Dengue, yellow fever and West Nile viruses. Since the explosive outbreaks of ZIKV in Latin America in 2015, a sudden increase in the number of microcephaly cases has been observed in infants of women who were pregnant when they contracted the virus. The severity of this condition raises grave concerns, and extensive studies on the possible link between ZIKV infection and microcephaly have been conducted.

Maternal Coffee Consumption During Pregnancy and Neural Tube Defects in Offspring: A Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To examine the association between maternal coffee consumption during pregnancy and the occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs) in offspring.

Methods: PubMed, Springer Link and Elsevier databases were searched up to August, 2014. Case-control and cohort studies published on the association between maternal coffee consumption during pregnancy and the occurrence of NTDs in offspring were included.

[Genotype distribution of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and AmpC beta-lactamases produced in Escherichia coli isolated from men with urinary infection].

Objective: To study the genotype distribution of extended-spectrum p-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC p-lactamases produced in E. coli isolated from men with urinary infection in Nanjing.

Methods: Organisms of clinical infection were identified by automatic microbial system (Vitek-32).
