RESUMO
Top-down control of small motion is possible through top-down controlled molecular motors in replacement of larger actuators like MEMS or NEMS (micro- or nano-electromechanical systems) in the current precision technology. Improving top-down control of molecular motors to every single step is desirable for this purpose, and also for synchronization of motor actions for amplified effects. Here we report a designed single-stranded DNA molecular motor powered by alternated ultraviolet and visible light for processive track-walking, with the two light colours each locking the motor in a full directional step to allow saturated driving but no overstepping. This novel nano-optomechanical driving mechanism pushes the top-down control of molecular motors down to every single step, thus providing a key technical capability to advance the molecular motor-based precision technology and also motor synchronization for amplified effects.

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous anesthesia (IV) with local anesthesia (LA) in patients undergoing ultrasound (US)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of thyroid nodules. METHODS: 50 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists classification grades I-II undergoing US-guided thyroid RFA were enrolled and randomly (1:1) divided into IV (conscious sedation with Ramsay Sedation Scale [RSS] scores of 2-3 with an anesthesiologist) and LA (subcutaneous anesthesia with lidocaine without an anesthesiologist) groups. Pre-, intra- and post-procedural blood pressure (BP) (SBP0/DBP0, SBP1/DBP1, and SBP2/DBP2), intra- and post-procedural pain (NRS1 and NRS2), ablated area volume, treatment time and adverse events were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: Age, sex, weight, number, nature, volume of nodules, and SBP0/DBP0 showed no difference between both groups. 11 and 0 patients' SBP1/DBP1 were elevated in the LA and IV groups. NRS1 differed between both groups. 6 patients in the LA group had moderate or severe pain, but none in the IV group. No between-group difference in SBP2/DBP2, NRS2, ablation completion rate and ablated volume was noted. The median procedure duration differed from 1109 (176) s in IV group and 723 (227) s in LA groups. There was no increased incidence of adverse events in IV group. CONCLUSIONS: IV with RSS scores of 2-3 maintained intra-procedural BP and relieved intra-procedural pain better, without affecting the ablation efficacy and increasing complications. Despite increased treatment time, IV is a potential option for patients undergoing US-guided RFA of thyroid nodules.

In the theories of empirical identification of "arguments on quality" and "five elephants and seven originals", color is regarded as one of the important indicators in the quality evaluation of Chinese medicine. The color of medicinal material including the surface color, the internal color, and the color after processing is caused by the pigment in the cells, which is a characteristic of the "optimal shape". Most pigments have a wide range of pharmacological activities such as anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, anti-atherosclerosis, prevention of coronary heart disease, protection of cardiovascular function, enhancement of immunity, etc. Therefore, the "optimal color" of medicinal materials is unified with the "high quality". This article systematically reviews the research status of "quality discrimination by color", the correlation between L~*, a~*, b~* color space and active ingredients such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, etc. to explain the "quality discrimination by color" in quantitative characterization. We also summary the research progress on the biosynthesis and regulation of the main pigment components of traditional Chinese medicine, and analyze the biological causes that affect the accumulation of the main pigments. We aim to provide a reference for the theory "quality discrimination by color" in biological knowledge to establish a modern quality control system for Chinese herbal medicines.

Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is a zoonotic agent that causes meningitis in humans and pigs. However, the mechanism whereby SS2 crosses the microvasculature endothelium of the brain is not understood. In this study, transposon (TnYLB-1) mutagenesis was used to identify virulence factors potentially associated with invasive ability in pathogenic SS2. A poorly invasive mutant was identified and was found to contain a TnYLB-1 insertion in the serine/threonine kinase (stk) gene. Transwell chambers containing hBMECs were used to model the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We observed that the SS2 wild-type ZY05719 strain crossed the BBB model more readily than the mutant strain. Hence, we speculated that STK is associated with the ability of crossing blood-brain barrier in SS2. In vitro, compared with ZY05719, the ability of the stk-deficient strain (Δstk) to adhere to and invade both hBMECs and bEnd.3 cells, as well as to cross the BBB, was significantly attenuated. Immunocytochemistry using antibodies against claudin-5 in bEnd.3 cells showed that infection by ZY05719 disrupted BBB tight junction proteins to a greater extent than in infection by Δstk. The studies revealed that SS2 initially binds at or near intercellular junctions and crosses the BBB via paracellular traversal. Claudin-5 mRNA levels were indistinguishable in ZY05719- and Δstk-infected cells. This result indicated that the decrease of claudin-5 was maybe induced by protein degradation. Cells infected by ZY05719 exhibited higher ubiquitination levels than cells infected by Δstk. This result indicated that ubiquitination was involved in the degradation of claudin-5. Differential proteomic analysis showed that E3 ubiquitin protein ligase HECTD1 decreased by 1.5-fold in Δstk-infected bEnd.3 cells relative to ZY05719-infected cells. Together, the results suggested that STK may affect the expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD1 and subsequently increase the degradation of claudin-5, thus enabling SS2 to traverse the BBB.

Recent studies demonstrated that the heart of 1-day-old neonatal mice could regenerate, with Wt1(+) EPDCs migrating into myocardial regions after partial surgical resection, but this capacity was lost by 7 days of age. By treatment with Tß4 to maintain Wt1 expression and retain the migrating feature of EPDCs in neonatal mice, we explored the possibility of restoring the cardiac regeneration potential of mice. We intraperitoneally injected Tß4 into 1-day-old mice on daily basis and then apical resection was performed on the mice 7 days later. Twenty one days after the resection, morphological analysis revealed that the Tß4-treated mice regenerated the resected ventricular apex, while the mice in PBS control group developed significant fibrosis without apical regeneration. The Tß4-treated mice had significantly better ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening than controls. During the process of regeneration, Wt1(+) EPDCs migrated into myocardial region and some of them expressed Islet1 and the markers for mature cardiomyocytes, such as cTnT and SαA. These characteristics of Wt1(+) EPDCs were also seen in the heart regeneration of mice subjected to apical resection 1 day after birth. Tß4 has no essential effect on cell cycle activity as no disruption of actin filaments was observed in Tß4-treated hearts. These results revealed that the cardiac regeneration potential of neonatal mice could be extended to the 7th post-natal day by Tß4 and Wt1(+) EPDCs mobilization might play an important role in the extension.

CONTEXT: There is an association between thyroid disorders and diabetes mellitus. OBJECTIVE: To investigate thyroid hormone levels in different glucose metabolic statuses, analyse relationships between thyroid hormone levels and different categories of prediabetes and metabolic parameters within a large euthyroid nondiabetic population. METHODS: A total of 3328 subjects without diabetes or thyroid dysfunction were included in this cross-sectional study. Subjects were divided in to four groups [normal glucose tolerance (NGR), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and combined glucose intolerance (CGI)] according to the results of oral glucose tolerance test. Participants were then divided into four groups according to the quartile of free T3 (FT3) in their blood. RESULTS: Subjects with IFG had higher levels of FT3 and ratio of FT3 to FT4 (FT3/FT4), but lower level of free T4 (FT4) than subjects with IGT. FT3/FT4 was negatively associated with postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) [standardized ß (ß) = -0·087; P < 0·001]. The prevalence of IFG and CGI was increased with the level of FT3, while the prevalence of IGT was decreased with the level of FT3 (P for trend: <0·001, 0·003 and <0·001, respectively). FT3 was negatively associated with the risk of IGT (OR = 0·409, 95% CI 0·179-0·935), whereas FT4 was positively associated with the risk of IGT (OR = 1·296, 95% CI 1·004-1·673). CONCLUSIONS: Free thyroid hormone levels were different between subjects with IFG and IGT. FT3 affects the prevalence of IFG and IGT in opposite ways. The difference in thyroid hormone levels may play an important role in the different pathological mechanisms of IFG and IGT.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, with a high incidence and mortality rate all year round, which seriously affects women's health. Autophagy, a well-conserved cellular process inherent in eukaryotic organisms, plays a pivotal role in degrading damaged proteins and organelles, recycling their breakdown products to aid cells in navigating stress and gradually restoring homeostatic equilibrium. Recent studies have unveiled the intricate connection between autophagy and breast cancer. Autophagy is a double-edged sword in breast cancer, demonstrating a dual role: restraining its onset and progression on one hand, while promoting its metastasis and advancement on the other. It is also because of this interrelationship between the two that regulation of autophagy in the treatment of breast cancer is now an important strategy in clinical treatment. In this article, we systematically survey the recent research findings, elucidating the multifaceted role of autophagy in breast cancer and its underlying mechanisms, with the aim of contributing new references to the clinical management of breast cancer.

Correction for 'Undenatured type II collagen prevents and treats osteoarthritis and motor function degradation in T2DM patients and db/db mice' by Fan Rui et al., Food Funct., 2021, 12, 4373-4391, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0FO03011B.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Patients with keloids who receive radiotherapy (RT) after surgery can develop refractory wounds that cannot be healed by the patient's own repair system. Such chronic wounds are uneven and complex due to persistent abscess and ulceration. Without external intervention, they can easily result in local tissue necrosis or, in severe cases, large area tissue resection, amputation, and even death. CASE SUMMARY: This article describes the use of hydrogen to treat a 42-year-old female patient with a chronic wound on her left shoulder. The patient had a skin graft that involved implanting a dilator under the skin of her left shoulder, and then transferring excess skin from her shoulder onto scar tissue on her chest. The skin grafting was followed by two rounds of RT, after which the shoulder wound had difficulty healing. For six months, the patient was treated with 2 h of hydrogen inhalation (HI) therapy per day, in addition to application of sterile gauze on the wound and periodic debridement. We also performed one deep, large, sharp debridement to enlarge the wound area. The wound healed completely within 6 mo of beginning the HI treatment. CONCLUSION: After HI therapy, the patient showed superior progress in reepithelialization and wound repair, with eventual wound closure in 6 mo, in comparison with the previous failures of hyperbaric oxygen and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor therapies. Our work showed that HI therapy could be a new strategy for wound healing that is cleaner, more convenient, and less expensive than other therapies, as well as easily accessible for further application in clinical wound care.
RESUMO
Osteoarthritis (OA) has been scarcely researched among patients with diabetes mellitus. This study aims to confirm the preventive and therapeutic effects of undenatured type II collagen (UC II) on OA in aging db/db mice and in patients with T2DM. Firstly, aging db/db mice were randomly assigned to three groups: the UC II intervention (UC II) group, old model (OM) group and positive control group. Meanwhile db/m mice and young db/db mice were used as the normal control and young control groups, respectively. Secondly, fifty-five T2DM patients diagnosed with knee OA were randomly assigned to two groups: UC-II and placebo control groups. After a three-month intervention in both mice and T2DM patients, the subjects' gait and physical activities were assessed and the serum biomarkers including inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress factors and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were measured. Compared with the OM group mice, those in the UC II group showed a significantly greater superiority in terms of motor functions including the movement trajectories area (163.25 ± 20.3 vs. 78.52 ± 20.14 cm2), the tremor index (0.42 vs. 1.23), standing time (left hind: 0.089 ± 0.03 vs. 0.136 ± 0.04 s), swing (right front: 0.12 ± 0.02 vs. 0.216 ± 0.02 s), stride length (right hind: 7.2 ± 0.9 vs. 5.7 ± 1.1 cm), step cycle (right hind: 0.252 ± 0.05 vs. 0.478 ± 0.11 s) and cadence (14.12 ± 2.7 vs. 7.35 ± 4.4 steps per s). In addition, the levels of IL-4, IL-10, CTX- II and TGF-ß in the UC II group were 1.74, 2.23, 1.67 and 1.84 times higher than those in the OM group, respectively, while the levels of MMP-3 and MMP-13 in the UC II group were half those in the OM group. Correspondingly, UC II intervention significantly decreased the scores of pain, stiffness and physical function (p < 0.05), whereas the 6 MWT and total MET distances in the UC II group increased remarkably (p < 0.05). After a three-month period of intervention, the varus angle significantly decreased from 4.6 ± 2.0° to 3.0 ± 1.4° and the knee flexion range obviously increased from 57.9 ± 14.0° to 66.9 ± 10.4°. Importantly, the declining trend in the levels of hs-CRP and MDA and the incremental trend in the SOD level were consistent in the db/db mice and OA patients following UC II administration.

Objective To explore the risk factors for recurrence after unilateral biportal endoscopy in patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods Clinical data of 156 patients with lumbar disc herniation were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients underwent unilateral biportal endoscopy treatment.Follow up for 2 years after surgery,and the recurrence rate of all patients was recorded.The clinical characteristics of patients in the recurrent and non recurrent groups were compared,the factors influencing postoperative recurrence were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results After a 2-year follow-up,a total of 22 patients experienced recurrence,with a recurrence rate of 14.10%(22/156).The results of multivariate Logistic analysis showed that,the age>60 years old,fiber ring break>5 mm,incomplete nucleus pulposus removal,and postoperative intervertebral motion>10 ° were independent risk factors for recurrence after unilateral biportal endoscopy in patients with lumbar disc herniation(P<0.05).Conclusion Age>60 years old,fiber ring break>5 mm,incomplete removal of the nucleus pulposus,and postoperative intervertebral motion>10 ° were independent risk factors for recurrence after unilateral biportal endoscopy in patients with lumbar disc herniation,and prevention should be strengthened.
RESUMO
BackgroundNurses' moral courage is a special type of altruistic behavior, which is considered to be a key factor to improve patient safety. Empathy level can positively predict altruistic behavior, and moral sensitivity exerts an obvious mediation role in the positive prediction. At present, there is no relevant research to explore the path role of moral sensitivity in the relationship between empathy and moral courage. ObjectiveTo verify the mediation role of moral sensitivity in the relationship between empathy and moral courage among nursing students, so as to provide references for increasing the moral courage among nursing students. MethodsFrom June 1 to June 30, 2022, a total of 602 nursing students were recruited via convenience sampling from a tertiary grade A hospital in Mianyang, and participants were assessed using Interpersonal Reactivity Index-Chinese (IRI-C), Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire-Revised Chinese Version (MSQ-R-CV) and Nurses' Moral Courage Scale (NMCS). Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation among above scales. The Process macro plug-in for SPSS was used to test the mediation effect of moral sensitivity on the relationship between empathy and moral courage. ResultsA total of 602 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.78%. IRI-C score of nursing students was positively correlated with MSQ-R-CV score and NMCS score (r=0.269, 0.146, P<0.01). MSQ-R-CV score was positively correlated with NMCS score (r=0.722, P<0.01). The mediation effect model was established with IRI-C score as independent variable, MSQ-R-CV score as intermediary variable, and NMCS score as dependent variable. Analysis showed that the direct effect of empathy on moral courage among nursing students was not significant (direct effect value of -0.052, 95% CI: -0.178~0.008), while analysis yielded a significant indirect effect of empathy on moral courage via moral sensitivity (indirect effect value of 0.189, 95% CI: 0.209~0.407). ConclusionThe moral sensitivity of nursing students plays a significant mediation role in the relationship between empathy and moral courage.

【Objective】 To analyze the situation of regular whole blood donation in Tianjin between 2013 and 2022, in order to provide data support for improving the recruitment and retention measures of regular blood donors and ensuring safe clinical blood supply. 【Methods】 From 2013 to 2022, 185 639 regular whole blood donors in Tianjin were selected as the study group and 1 015 312 other whole blood donors in the same period were selected as the control group. The demographic data, blood collection volume and blood retest screening of blood donors in the two groups were statistically analyzed. 【Results】 The number of regular blood donors and the volume of blood donated in Tianjin increased year by year from 2013 to 2022, with an average annual growth rate of 6.22% and 6.18%, respectively. From 2013 to 2021, the retention rate of regular blood donors increased first and then decreased. The proportion of male blood donors in the study and control groups showed a decreasing trend but the proportion of female donors showed an increasing trend, with the proportion of male donors in the study group higher than that in the control group and the proportion of female donors lower than that in the control group (both P<0.05). In the study group, the majority of blood donors were in the age of 26-35 years old, followed by those of 36-45 years old; in the control group, the majority of blood donors were in the age of 18-25 years old, followed by those of 26-35 years old; the proportion of blood donors in the study group in the age of 18-25 years old was lower than that in the control group, while the proportion of blood donors of other age group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The rates of 200 mL and 300 mL blood donations and insufficient blood donations in the study group were lower than those in the control group, while the rate of 400 mL blood donations was higher than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant. Among the blood donors in the study group, the proportion of students, civil servants, medical workers, military personnel, teachers and others was lower than that of the control group, while the proportion of the rest occupations was higher in the study group than that of the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant. There was a significant difference in the proportion of regular blood donors among blood donors of different professions. The re-test deferral rates of ALT and anti-TP in the study group showed a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend, and the re-test deferral rates of HBV, HCV and HIV showed an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend, and all the re-test deferral rates in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . 【Conclusion】 From 2013 to 2022, the situation of regular blood donors in Tianjin has a certain regularity, and there is certain room for growth. Precise recruitment strategies targeting different populations should be adopted to have more regular blood donors.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of increased tube bleeding within 24 h after coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) and its correlation with perioperative complications.Methods:This study was a prospective observational study. The patients with CABG surgery were enrolled in Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2018 to December 2021. The age, sex, complications, blood tests and other clinical data of outpatients were collected. Left ventricular ejection fraction(EF) and left ventricular enddiastolic diameter(LVED) were detected by echocardiography. MGF and PI of grafts were recorded during CABG. Perioperative troponin Ⅰ, blood clotting pentathlon, all-cause death, perioperative myocardial fraction, atrial fibrillation and stroke were collected. According to the tube bleeding within 24 h after operation, the patients were divided into increased group(tube bleeding>1 000 ml) and normal group(tube bleeding≤1 000 ml). The preoperative baseline data, intraoperative indexes and perioperative complications were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression, Spearman and linear regression models were used to analyze the correlation between tube bleeding within 24 h and clinical data.Results:304 patients underwent CABG were enrolled. There were 185 cases(60.9%) in the increased group and 119 cases(39.1%) in the normal group. After adjusting for age, sex and BMI, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male( OR=2.40, 95% CI: 1.38-4.18, P=0.002), history of stroke( OR=2.37, 95% CI: 1.07-5.26, P=0.034), and history of myocardial infarction( OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.13-2.91, P=0.014) could significantly increase the risk of tube bleeding within 24 h after surgery. The average blood flow of the anterior descending branch( OR=0.99, 95% CI: 0.99-1.00, P=0.022) and the circumflex branch( OR=0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-1.00, P=0.003) during the operation was significantly negatively correlated with the increase of tube bleeding within 24 h after surgery, while the PI of anterior descending branch( OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.26-2.61, P=0.001), circumflex branch( OR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.07-1.97, P=0.017), right coronary artery( OR=1.84, 95% CI: 1.29-2.62, P=0.001) were positively correlated with the increase of tube bleeding within 24 h after operation. In addition, prothrombin time significantly increased the risk of increased tube bleeding within 24 h after surgery( OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.03-1.30, P=0.018). Linear regression analysis showed that there was a significant positive linear correlation between ICU time and tube bleeding within 24 h after surgery( OR=0.17, 95% CI: 0.96-4.58, P=0.003), and a significant negative linear correlation between postoperative ejection fraction and tube bleeding within 24 h( OR=-0.25, 95% CI: -33.18--13.07, P<0.001). Conclusion:Increased tube bleeding within 24 h after CABG is most common in males and patients with a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular infarction. Better graft hemodynamic parameters can reduce the tube bleeding within 24 h after the operation, further improve cardiac function and reduce ICU time.
RESUMO
The theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera" originated from Elementary Questions (《素问》), which is an important origin of the theory of supplementation and drainage prescription. By exploring the connotation of the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera", and adopting the archaeological method of literature research, we collected the relevant writings on the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera" by the representative physicians of Yishui school, such as ZHANG Yuansu, LI Gao, WANG Haogu, LUO Tianyi, LI Zhongzi, etc., combed through the inheritance and development of this theory, and explored the contribution of Yishui school on this. It was found that all the physicians of Yishui school, on the basis of inheriting the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera", combined with their own clinical practice to develop this theory, and promoted the application and development of this theory in clinic, such as ZHANG Yuansu's theories of cold-heat deficiency-excess in viscera and bowels, and the theory of viscera and bowels prescription, and LI Gao's theory of ascending and descending, floating and sinking, supplementing and draining in visceral qi, and other academic thoughts rooted in the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera" of Elementary Questions. By clarifying the inheritance and development of this theory by physicians of Yishui school, we can deeply understand the connotation and the embedded rules of prescription of this theory, which can not only guide the clinical medication in traditional Chinese medicine, but also provide reference value to the research on the academic thoughts of the Yishui school and the theory of fsupplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for safe drug use in the clinic by mining the adverse drug event (ADE) signals of 4 kinds of biological agents for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS ADE data of infliximab, adalimumab, ustekinumab and vedolizumab were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system between the first quarter in 2004 and the fourth quarter in 2022, and were mined by using reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) method. The system organ class (SOC) was used for the classification and statistics of drug ADE terminology. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 65 173, 247 894, 37 596 and 6 134 ADE reports were retrieved for the above 4 biologic agents, involving 1 664, 1 731, 588, 303 ADE signals and 27, 27, 24, 26 SOC, respectively. The largest number of ADE reported of infliximab were various musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, and the signal intensity of disseminated tuberculosis was stronger. The largest number of ADE reported of adalimumab were systemic disease and various reactions at the administration site, and the signal intensity of papular at the injection site was stronger. The largest number of ADE reported of ustekinumab were various injuries, poisoning and operation complications, and the signal intensity of latent tuberculosis was slightly stronger. The largest number of ADE reported of vedolizumab were systemic diseases and various reactions at the administration site, and the signal intensity of shorter treatment response time was stronger. When clinically administering the four drugs, it is crucial to pay close attention to common ADEs and other ADE not mentioned in the drug label. For infliximab, clinicians should exercise caution due to the potential risk of synovitis and basal cell carcinoma; when prescribing adalimumab, caution should be exercised due to ADEs related to synovitis and hernia; for ustekinumab, the ADE associated with hepatobiliary diseases should be vigilant; for vedolizumab, clinicians should be vigilant for blood in the stool, increasing frequency of defecation. Except for ustekinumab, the other 3 biological agents also require attention for ADE associated with pregnancy.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the infestation and disposal of bedbugs in Shanghai, and provide scientific evidence for comprehensive prevention and control of bedbugs. MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted in the pest control operations (PCOs) of Shanghai Association for Health Promotion to investigate the infestation and disposal of bedbugs. The questionnaire included basic information of the unit, bedbug disposal experience, type of environment of bedbug infestation, main disposal site, main treatment method, main drug and formulation, and evaluation of the disposal. Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. ResultsOf the 116 PCOs, 78 (67.24%) had conducted bedbug disposal, and 29.49% had conducted the disposal no less than 5 times in the past three years. The main types of environment of bedbug infestation were dormitories (46.96%), hotels (18.78%), and households (20.44%). Additionally, bedbug infestation was found in nursing homes, prisons and detention centers, and transport vehicles. Bed frame/bed board/mattress (32.42%) was the main site of bedbug infestation, followed by mat (19.63%). Chemical spraying was the most common method for bedbug disposal (98.72%), followed by high-temperature steam (11.54%). The main drug used in chemical spraying were pyrethroids (69.23%), nicotinoids (60.26%) and organophosphorus (42.31%), for which the main formulation were suspended insecticides (55.13%), followed by wettable powders (43.59%) and emulsifiers (43.59%). Furthermore, 89.74% of the PCOs performed the assessment after disposal, in which the control effect was generally satisfactory. ConclusionBedbug infestation is relatively common in Shanghai. Dormitories, hotels and households are places where bedbug infestation is more likely to occur. Bed frame, bed board and mattress are the most vulnerable sites to bedbug infestation. Combination of physical and chemical methods should be used for disposal of bedbug infestation.
