Objective: To understand the awareness status on malaria control knowledge of residents, primary and middle school students in Huai'an District, Huai'an City, so as to provide the evidences for promoting the malaria elimination process in this district.
Methods: Three towns in Huai'an District were selected randomly, and one village, one primary school and one junior middle school in each town were chosen as the investigation sites. The residents over 18 years old, the primary school students in Grade 4 to 6, and the junior middle students in the investigation sites were investigated by questionnaires to understand their awareness status on knowledge of malaria control.
Results: Totally 305 residents and 618 students were investigated. The awareness rate of students was 89.97%, and the rates of the junior middle school students and primary school students were 85.94% and 94.10%, respectively, the difference between them was statistically significant (<0.01). The awareness rate of the residents was 80.98%, which was lower than that of the students (<0.05). For the students, the awareness rate on "precaution of malaria" (96.74%) was the highest, while that on "drug of malaria" (68.93%) was the lowest. For the residents, the rate on "transmission route of malaria" (95.08%) was the highest, that on "4·26 is Malaria Day" (64.26%) was the lowest. Expect the items of "transmission route of malaria" and "precaution of malaria" (both >0.05), the differences of the awareness rates on all the other items between the students and residents were statistically significant (all <0.01).
Conclusions: Although the awareness rates of malaria control knowledge in the population of Huai'an District, Huai'an City have achieved the goal of the relevant requirement, the health education on malaria control still should be strengthened, especially for the primary students, female residents and exported labor service personnel.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between m6A demethylase ALKBH5 and long noncoding RNA TUG1 (TUG1), as well as their effects on proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in gastric cancer (GC) cells.
Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was utilized to analyze the relative expression levels of ALKBH5, TUG1, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Survival analyses of TUG1, ALKBH5, and VEGFA were performed using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and Kaplan-Meier databases.

Importance: Persisting or new thrombi in the distal arteries and the microcirculation have been reported to limit the benefits of successful endovascular thrombectomy for patients with acute ischemic stroke. It remains uncertain whether intra-arterial thrombolysis by urokinase following near-complete to complete reperfusion by thrombectomy improves outcomes among patients with ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion.
Objective: To assess the efficacy and adverse events of intra-arterial urokinase after near-complete to complete reperfusion by thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion.

The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills (CDDP) in improving cardiac function among patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AAMI). Between February 2021 and February 2023, 247 eligible patients with AAMI after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) were enrolled and randomly assigned (1∶1) to receive CDDP ( = 126) or placebo ( = 121), with a follow-up of 48 weeks. Compared with the placebo group, the CDDP group demonstrated a significant increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) values after 24 weeks of the treatment (least squares mean: 3.
