The subway gearbox is a key vehicle transmission parts,its vibration condition affects the safety operation of the train. The dynamic response of the subway gearbox is studied,taking the physical model of the subway gearbox as the research object,the data conversion of the Cero and ADAMS data interface is carried out,and the gearbox is flexible by means of ANSYS. The rigid body is replaced by the flexible body,and make reasonable restraint to it. The model of gear contact is established,and the bearing pair is built by ADAMS built-in mechanical package module,and the rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model of subway gearbox is established. According to the simulation results of the gearbox dynamics analysis,the analysis of the box in the gear start and the acceleration phase there is a large vibration impact,and compare the stress and strain of the measured point of view,the upper box is significantly more than the box. The vibration response of the upper box and the upper part of the upper box are affected by the signal superposition and so on,the stress response can be considered. It is possible to consider the optimization of the box structure,consider adding the reinforcement and other measures to strengthen the dangerous node stability. It provides references for the design of subway gearbox.

The long-term and frequent use of pyrethroid insecticides has led to the development of pyrethroid resistance in many insect populations around the world. Specific mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) have been well documented to be responsible for knockdown resistance (kdr) to pyrethroids and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in a variety of arthropods. However, reports regarding naturally occurring kdr mutation in field populations of the German cockroach Blattella germanica (Linnaeus) (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) in China have remained scarce. In this study, a survey was conducted to detect the presence and frequency of kdr mutations in field populations of B. germanica across Neijiang, Sichuan province of China. In addition to the previously reported L993F mutation, a new amino acid substitution L993S was discovered for the first time. Overall, the classical 993F was the dominant allele with frequencies ranging from 61.8 to 89.6%, while the frequencies of the novel L993S mutation were in the range between 2.5 and 15.0%. Notably, high frequencies (50.0–79.2%) of resistant homozygotes were detected in our samples, indicating high levels of pyrethroid resistance in these B. germanica populations. The results suggest that alternative insecticides with a mode of action different from pyrethroids should be considered in the control of German cockroaches in these regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is one of the most important agricultural insect pests. Pyrethroid and neonicotinoid insecticides have generally shown excellent control of A. gossypii, but many populations of this pest have developed resistance against these classes of insecticides. The success of insecticide resistance management strategies requires detailed knowledge of both phenotype and genotype of the target insect pest. In this study, we attempted to understand the molecular status of insecticide resistance in cotton aphid populations in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, the major cotton planting region of China. In addition to the previously reported M918L mutation, we discovered another substitution (M918V) in the voltage‐gated sodium channel (VGSC). Moreover, we developed a molecular assay that could be used to detect precisely the R81T mutation in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). This survey revealed that 918L was the predominant VGSC allele with a frequency ranging from 50.0% to 56.7%. Notably, appreciable frequencies (between 10% and 40%) of the resistance 81T allele of the nAChR gene were detected in three investigated populations. The prevalent co‐occurrence of both VGSC 918L/V and nAchR 81T indicates a worrisome situation of multiple resistance to both pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Four putative knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations have been documented in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene of Cimex hemipterus from several countries. However, no information regarding kdr mutations in any Chinese tropical bed bug population is available to date. In this study, a double-mutation（M918I + L1014F）kdr allele was identified in six C. hemipterus populations across Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China. The frequency of this allele was 100% in all the six examined populations. In addition, only two cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene haplotypes, with one synonymous nucleotide variation, were identified in a total of 48 individuals from six locations. The fixation and broad geographic distribution of this resistant allele questions the continued use of pyrethroids in the treatment of tropical bed bug infestations. The very low genetic diversity within and among these populations indicates that these bed bugs may have a single origin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: In South Asia, the epidemiology of malaria is complex, and transmission mainly occurs in remote areas near international borders. Vector control has been implemented as a key strategy in malaria prevention for decades. A rising threat to the efficacy of vector control efforts is the development of insecticide resistance, thus it is important to monitor the type and frequency of insecticide resistant alleles in the disease vectors such as An. sinensis along the China-Vietnam border. Such information is needed to synthesize effective malaria vector control strategies. Methods: A total of 208 adults of An. sinensis, collected from seven sites in southwest Guangxi along the China-Vietnam border, were inspected for the resistance-conferring G119S mutation in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism) and kdr mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) by sequencing. In addition, the evolutionary origin of An. sinensis vgsc gene haplotypes was analyzed using Network 5.0. Results: The frequencies of mutant 119S of AChE were between 0.61–0.85 in the seven An. sinensis populations. No susceptible homozygote (119GG) was detected in three of the seven sites (DXEC, LZSK and FCGDX). Very low frequencies of kdr (0.00–0.01) were detected in the seven populations, with most individuals being susceptible homozygote (1014LL). The 1014F mutation was detected only in the southeast part (FCGDX) at a low frequency of 0.03. The 1014S mutation was distributed in six of the seven populations with frequencies ranging from 0.04 to 0.08, but absent in JXXW. Diverse haplotypes of 1014L and 1014S were found in An. sinensis along the China-Vietnam border, while only one 1014F haplotype was detected in this study. Consistent with a previous report, resistant 1014S haplotypes did not have a single origin. Conclusions: The G119S mutation of AChE was present at high frequencies (0.61–0.85) in the An. sinensis populations along the China-Vietnam border, suggesting that the vector control authorities should be cautious when considering carbamates and organophosphates as chemicals for vector control. The low frequencies (0.00–0.11) of kdr in these populations suggest that pyrethroids remain suitable for use against An. sinensis in these regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
