ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 355:124204. [PMID: 38788989 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wetlands have exacerbated global warming, attracting worldwide attention. However, the research process and development trends in this field remain unknown. Herein, 1865 papers related to wetlands GHG emissions published from January 2000 to December 2023 were selected, and CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used for bibliometric analysis to visually analyze the publications distribution, research authors, organizations and countries, core journal and keywords, and discussed the research progress, trends and hotspots in the fields. Over the past 24 years, the research has gone through three phases: the "embryonic" stage (2000-2006), the accumulation stage (2007-2014), and the acceleration stage (2015-2023). China has played a pivotal role in this domain, publishing the most papers and working closely with the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, and Australia. In addition, this study synthesized 311 field observations from 123 publications to analyze the variability in GHG emissions and their driving factors in four different types of natural wetlands. The results suggested that the average carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes in different wetlands were significantly different. River wetlands exhibited the highest GHG fluxes, while marsh wetlands demonstrated greater global warming potential (GWP). The average CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes were 60.41 mg m-2·h-1, 2.52 mg m-2·h-1 and 0.05 mg m-2·h-1, respectively. The GWP of Chinese natural wetlands was estimated as 648.72 Tg·CO2-eq·yr-1, and CH4 contributed the largest warming effect, accounting for 57.43%. Correlation analysis showed that geographical location, climate factors, and soil conditions collectively regulated GHG emissions from wetlands. The findings provide a new perspective on sustainable wetland management and reducing GHG emissions.

Sulfadiazine proliferated antibiotic resistance genes in the phycosphere of Chlorella pyrenoidosa: Insights from bacterial communities and microalgal metabolites. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 473:134679. [PMID: 38795485 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
The phycosphere is an essential ecological niche for the proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, how ARGs' potential hosts change and the driving mechanism of metabolites under antibiotic stress in the phycosphere have seldom been researched. We investigated the response of Chlorella pyrenoidosa and the structure and abundance of free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) bacteria, ARGs, and metabolites under sulfadiazine by using real-time quantitative PCR, 16 S rRNA high-throughput. The linkage of key bacterial communities, ARGs, and metabolites through correlations was established. Through analysis of physiological indicators, Chlorella pyrenoidosa displayed a pattern of "low-dose promotion and high-dose inhibition" under antibiotic stress. ARGs were enriched in the PA treatment groups by 117 %. At the phylum level, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria as potential hosts for ARGs. At the genus level, potential hosts included Sphingopyxis, SM1A02, Aquimonas, Vitellibacter, and Proteiniphilum. Middle and high antibiotic concentrations induced the secretion of metabolites closely related to potential hosts by algae, such as phytosphingosine, Lysophosphatidylcholine, and α-Linolenic acid. Therefore, changes in bacterial communities indirectly influenced the distribution of ARGs through alterations in metabolic products. These findings offer essential details about the mechanisms behind the spread and proliferation of ARGs in the phycosphere.

Abstract
AIMS To develop an auto-categorization system based on machine learning for three-dimensional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (3D MRCP) to detect choledocholithiasis from healthy and symptomatic individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3D MRCP sequences from 254 cases with common bile duct (CBD) stones and 251 cases with normal CBD were enrolled to train the 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) model. Then 184 patients from three different hospitals (91 with positive CBD stone and 93 with normal CBD) were prospectively included to test the performance of 3D-CNN. RESULTS With a cutoff value of 0.2754, 3D-CNN achieved the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 94.51%, 92.47%, and 93.48%, respectively. In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) for the presence or absence of CBD stones was 0.974 (95% CI, 0.940-0.992). There was no significant difference in sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy between 3D-CNN and radiologists. In addition, the performance of 3D-CNN was also evaluated in the internal test set and the external test set, respectively. The internal test set yielded an accuracy of 94.74% and AUC of 0.974 (95% CI, 0.919-0.996), and the external test set yielded an accuracy of 92.13% and AUC of 0.970 (95% CI, 0.911-0.995). CONCLUSIONS An artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system for CBD stones was constructed using 3D-CNN model for 3D MRCP images. The performance of 3D-CNN model was comparable to that of radiologists in diagnosing CBD stones. 3D-CNN model maintained high performance when applied to data from other hospitals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the prevalence of prenatal depression and to determine the dyadic relationship between perceived stress, marital satisfaction, and prenatal depression in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and their partners. BACKGROUND GDM during pregnancy is a very stressful event for couples. However, previous studies have largely focused on pregnant women, with few including their partners. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in Guangzhou, China, from 30 July to 2 December 2021. Three hundred fourteen couples with GDM completed the Perceived Stress Scale, Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Scale, and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Dyadic analysis was conducted using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model. RESULTS The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 13.4% in pregnant women with GDM and 8.3% in their partners. Regarding the actor effects, perceived stress was positively associated with prenatal depression in pregnant women with GDM and their partners, respectively, and marital satisfaction acted as a mediating role. Regarding the partner effects, paternal perceived stress was negatively associated with maternal marital satisfaction, and maternal marital satisfaction mediated the association between paternal perceived stress and maternal prenatal depression. CONCLUSIONS Dyadic effects of perceived stress, marital satisfaction, and prenatal depression exist in couples with GDM.

Dent Mater 2024:S0109-5641(24)00132-5. [PMID: 38871527 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.05.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polymerization shrinkage poses a significant challenge in dental resin composites. The objective of this study is to introduce spiroorthocarbonate monomer 3,9-dimethylene-1,3,5,7-tetraoxa-spiro[5,5]undecane (BMSOC) and epoxy resin monomer 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate (ECHM-ECHC) into bisphenol-S-bis(3-methacrylato-2-hydroxy propyl)ether (BisS-GMA) based resin composites to develop composites with reduced shrinkage properties. METHODS BMSOC and BisS-GMA were synthesized and thoroughly mixed with ECHM-ECHC, followed by inorganic fillers and photoinitiators. Based on the composition of the resin matrix, five groups of experimental composites were prepared, with traditional bisphenol A-dimethacrylate glycidyl ester (Bis-GMA)/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) based composite serving as the control. The polymerization properties, including degree of conversion (DC) and polymerization shrinkage (PS), as well as marginal microleakage, wettability, flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (FM), and biocompatibility were evaluated. RESULTS The results demonstrated that compared with the control group, the PS of BisS-GMA based composites containing BMSOC and ECHM-ECHC were significantly reduced (P < 0.05), and the lowest PS (0.96 ± 0.08 %) was observed when the ratio of BisS-GMA: (Epoxy + BMSOC) was 4:6. Additionally, the experimental composites also exhibited improved DC, minimal microleakage, low hydrophilicity, enhanced mechanical properties, qualified in vivo biocompatibility, and slight/moderate in vitro biocompatibility. SIGNIFICANCE The resin composites incorporating multiple modified low-shrink monomers are promising for dental applications to prevent various clinical problems caused by PS and extend restoration longevity.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) expedite the conversion of organic phosphorus (OP) into PO4-P (Pi), facilitating phosphorus (P) absorption by algae. Our study explored the mechanisms of converting OP (2-aminoethylphosphonic acid (AEP) and β-glycerol phosphate (β-GP)) into Pi in Chlorella pyrenoidosa under P deficiency with sunscreen and ZnO NPs. Cell density followed the order of K2HPO4 > β-GP+ZnO > β-GP > AEP+ZnO > AEP > P-free. ZnO NPs promoted the conversion of β-GP, containing C-O-P bonds (0.028-0.041 mg/L), into Pi more efficiently than AEP, which possesses C-P bonds (0.022-0.037 mg/L). Transcriptomics revealed Pi transport/metabolism (phoB (3.99-12.01 fold), phoR (2.20-5.50 fold), ppa (4.49-10.40 fold), and ppk (2.50-5.40 fold)) and phospholipid metabolism (SQD1 (1.85-2.79 fold), SQD2 (2.60-6.53 fold), MGD (2.13-3.21 fold), and DGD (4.08-7.56 fold)) were up-regulated compared to K2HPO4. 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy identified intracellular P as polyphosphate, orthophosphate, and pyrophosphate. Synchrotron radiation-based X-ray near-edge structure spectroscopy indicated that K2HPO4 and Zn3(PO4)2 in β-GP+ZnO were increased by 8.09% and 7.28% compared to AEP+ZnO, suggesting superior P storage in β-GP+ZnO. Overall, ZnO NPs improved photoinduced electron-hole pair separation and charge separation efficiency and amplified the ·OH and ·O2- levels, promoting OP photoconversion into Pi and algae growth.

Abstract
This study explores the mechanisms enhancing phosphorus (P) release from sludge in anaerobic digestion (AD) with thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP) using sequential chemical extraction, X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (XANES), 31P NMR, and multiomics. THP-treated sludge notably increased liquid-phase P by 53.8% over 3 days compared to sewage sludge (SS), identifying solid-phase Fe-P as the primary P source. The THP+AD also provided a higher abundance of bacteria that contributed to P release through multiple pathways (MPRPB), whereas SS+AD enriched some microbial species with single P release pathway. Moreover, species co-occurrence network analysis underlined the pivotal role of P-releasing bacteria in THP+AD, with 8 out of 16 keystones being P-releasers. Among the 63 screened genes that were related to P transformations and release, the poly beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis genes associated with polyphosphate bacteria-mediated P release were more abundant in THP+AD than in SS+AD. Furthermore, the upregulation of genes involved in methyl phosphonate metabolism in the THP-treated sludge enhanced the methane production potential of the AD process. These findings suggested that MPRPB were indeed the main contributors to P release, and enrichment in the THP+AD process enhanced their capability for P liberation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a type of inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutation in the PANK2 gene. The metabolic disorder mainly affects the basal ganglia region and eventually manifests as dystonia. For patients of dystonia, their dystonic symptom may progress to life-threatening emergency--status dystonicus. OBJECTIVE We described a case of a child with PKAN who had developed status dystonicus and was successfully treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Based on this rare condition, we analysed the clinical features of PKAN with status dystonicus and reviewed the reasonable management process of this condition. CONCLUSION This case confirmed the rationality of choosing DBS for the treatment of status dystonicus. Meanwhile, we found that children with classic PKAN have a cluster of risk factors for developing status dystonicus. Once children diagnosed with similar neurodegenerative diseases are under status dystonicus, DBS can be active considered because it has showed high control rate of this emergent condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between the uncinate process (UP) and vertebral artery (VA) from a radiologic view and to confirm the surgical safety margin to minimize the risk of VA injury during anterior cervical approaches. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed computed tomography angiography of 205 patients by using a contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography protocol of the VA. Four kinds of images were simultaneously reconstructed to measure all the parameters associated with VA and UP of cervical spine. RESULTS The shortest distance from the UP's tip to the VA's medial border (P < 0.001) was at the C-6 level (2.9 ± 0.9 mm on the left and 3.2 ± 1.3 mm on the right), and the longest distance (P < 0.001) was at the C-3 level on both sides. The distance between UP's tip and the medial border of the ipsilateral VA was statistically significantly different at each cervical level, and the right distance was larger than the left (P < 0.05). We found the height of UP gradually increased from C-3 to C5-level and then decreased from C-5 to C-7 level for both sides. The mean distance between the medial borders of left UP and left VA was on average 7.5 ± 1.4 mm. The diameter of VA was on average 3.4 ± 0.6 mm on the left side and 3.2 ± 0.7 mm on the right. The diameter of the VA was statistically significantly different on both sides, and the left side was larger than the right (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Detailed radiologic anatomy of VA and UP was reviewed in this study. A deep understanding of the correlation between the UP and VA is essential to perform anterior cervical spine surgery safely and ensure adequate spinal canal decompression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the prognostic impact of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients. METHODS Data for 952 patients who received surgical resection and underwent detection of oncogenic driver mutations were retrospectively collected. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) with 95% CI of the prognosticator was calculated by Cox proportional hazards model, and cumulative incidence function was measured by competing risk regression model. RESULTS EGFR mutation was detected in 581 patients (61.0%) and was more frequent in women (63.9%), nonsmokers (85.5%), and those with ground-glass nodules (GGNs; 56.6%). EGFR mutation was not associated with recurrence and death in the entire cohort or GGN cohort. However, for patients with radiologic pure-solid appearance, EGFR mutation was an independent risk factor for RFS (aHR, 1.623; 95% CI, 1.192-2.210) and distant recurrence (aHR, 1.863; 95% CI, 1.311-2.650), but not OS. Subsequently, subgroup analysis based on EGFR mutation subtypes, including exon 19 deletions (19-Del), exon 21 L858R substitution (L858R), and rare mutations in patients with radiologic pure-solid appearance, revealed that all 3 subtypes have poorer RFS (19-Del: aHR, 1.424; 95% CI, 0.991-2.047; L858R: aHR, 1.708; 95% CI, 1.172-2.490; rare mutations: aHR, 2.500; 95% CI, 1.400-4.465) and higher prevalent distant recurrence (19-Del: aHR, 1.595; 95% CI, 1.061-2.400; L858R: aHR, 2.073; 95% CI, 1.371-3.140; rare mutations: aHR, 2.657; 95% CI, 1.397-5.050) compared with wild-type. CONCLUSIONS In clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma, EGFR mutation was associated with worse RFS and higher prevalent distant recurrence in patients with radiologic pure-solid appearance but not in patients with GGN.

Abstract
Staff and animals in livestock buildings are constantly exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which affects their respiratory health. However, its exact pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. Regulator of G-protein signaling 2 (RGS2) has been reported to play a regulatory role in pneumonia. The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic potential of RGS2 in cowshed PM2.5-induced respiratory damage. PM2.5 was collected from a cattle farm, and the alveolar macrophages (NR8383) of the model animal rat were stimulated with different treatment conditions of cowshed PM2.5. The RGS2 overexpression vector was constructed and transfected it into cells. Compared with the control group, cowshed PM2.5 significantly induced a decrease in cell viability and increased the levels of apoptosis and proinflammatory factor expression. Overexpression of RGS2 ameliorated the above-mentioned cellular changes induced by cowshed PM2.5. In addition, PM2.5 has significantly induced intracellular Ca2+ dysregulation. Affinity inhibition of Gq/11 by RGS2 attenuated the cytosolic calcium signaling pathway mediated by PLCβ/IP3R. To further investigate the causes and mechanisms of action of differential RGS2 expression, the possible effects of oxidative stress and TLR2/4 activation were investigated. The results have shown that RGS2 expression was not only regulated by oxidative stress-induced nitric oxide during cowshed PM2.5 cells stimulation but the activation of TLR2/4 had also an important inhibitory effect on its protein expression. The present study demonstrates the intracellular Ca2+ regulatory role of RGS2 during cellular injury, which could be a potential target for the prevention and treatment of PM2.5-induced respiratory injury.

Abstract
Neurogenesis, play a vital role in neuronal plasticity of adult mammalian brains, and its dysregulation is present in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). While subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) at various frequencies has been proven effective in alleviating PD symptoms, its influence on neurogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 1-week electrical stimulation at frequencies of 60Hz, 130Hz, and 180Hz on neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of PD rats. A hemiparkinsonian rat model was established using 6-hydroxydopamine and categorized into six groups: control, PD, sham stimulation, 60Hz stimulation, 130Hz stimulation, and 180Hz stimulation. Motor function was assessed using the open field test and rotarod test after one week of STN-DBS at different frequencies. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in brain tissue was analyzed via Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Immunofluorescence analysis was conducted to evaluate the expression of BrdU/Sox2, BrdU/GFAP, Ki67/GFAP, and BrdU/DCX in bilateral SVZ and the rostral migratory stream (RMS). Our findings revealed that high-frequency STN-DBS improved motor function. Specifically, stimulation at 130Hz increased dopaminergic neuron survival in the PD rat model, while significantly enhancing the proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) and neuroblasts in bilateral SVZ. Moreover, this stimulation effectively facilitated the generation of new NSCs in the ipsilateral RMS and triggered the emergence of fresh neuroblasts in bilateral RMS, with notable presence within the lesioned striatum. Conversely, electrical stimulation at 60Hz and 180Hz did not exhibit comparable effects. The observed promotion of neurogenesis in PD rats following STN-DBS provides valuable insights into the mechanistic basis of this therapeutic approach for PD.

Abstract
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is proven as an excellent anti-harmful microbial material. However, the liquid and vapor pha5se preparation methods reported so far hardly make pure Cu2O-containing composites and suffer environmental issues caused by chemical reducing agents with multiple processing steps. This work develops a facile one-pot solid-state sintering method to synthesize Cu2O/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composite via the thermal decomposition and oxidation-reduction reactions where copper formate was reduced by MCC. The Cu2O/MCC composite exhibits superior purity, dispersibility, stability, high yield, and high efficacy of antibacterial and antiviral properties, e.g., against E. coli, S. aureus, and Equine Arteritis Viral. This work utilizes elegantly the strong reducing capability of cellulose to develop an environmentally benign method to prepare high-purity Cu2O-polymer composites with low cytotoxicity and cost, which can be incorporated readily into other substrate materials to form various forms of anti-harmful microbial materials widely used in public health care products. In addition, the preparation of Cu2O-containing composites based on the reducing capability of cellulose is also expected to be applied to other cellulose-based materials for the loading of Cu2O particles.

First Observation of a Three-Resonance Structure in e^{+}e^{-}→Nonopen Charm Hadrons. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 132:191902. [PMID: 38804946 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.132.191902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
We report the measurement of the inclusive cross sections for e^{+}e^{-}→nOCH (where nOCH denotes non-open charm hadrons) with improved precision at center-of-mass (c.m.) energies from 3.645 to 3.871 GeV. We observe three resonances: R(3760), R(3780), and R(3810) with significances of 8.1σ, 13.7σ, and 8.8σ, respectively. The R(3810) state is observed for the first time, while the R(3760) and R(3780) states are observed for the first time in the nOCH cross sections. Two sets of resonance parameters describe the energy-dependent line shape of the cross sections well. In set I [set II], the R(3810) state has mass (3805.7±1.1±2.7) [(3805.7±1.1±2.7)] MeV/c^{2}, total width (11.6±2.9±1.9) [(11.5±2.8±1.9)] MeV, and an electronic width multiplied by the nOCH decay branching fraction of (10.9±3.8±2.5) [(11.0±3.4±2.5)] eV. In addition, we measure the branching fractions B[R(3760)→nOCH]=(25.2±16.1±30.4)%[(6.4±4.8±7.7)%] and B[R(3780)→nOCH]=(12.3±6.6±8.3)%[(10.4±4.8±7.0)%] for the first time. The R(3760) state can be interpreted as an open-charm (OC) molecular state, but containing a simple four-quark state component. The R(3810) state can be interpreted as a hadrocharmonium state.

A novel multivariate logistic model for predicting risk factors of failed treatment with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ventilator-associated pneumonia. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1385118. [PMID: 38784576 PMCID: PMC11111873 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1385118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to explore the risk factors for failed treatment of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ventilator-associated pneumonia (CRAB-VAP) with tigecycline and to establish a predictive model to predict the incidence of failed treatment and the prognosis of CRAB-VAP. Methods A total of 189 CRAB-VAP patients were included in the safety analysis set from two Grade 3 A national-level hospitals between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022. The risk factors for failed treatment with CRAB-VAP were identified using univariate analysis, multivariate logistic analysis, and an independent nomogram to show the results. Results Of the 189 patients, 106 (56.1%) patients were in the successful treatment group, and 83 (43.9%) patients were in the failed treatment group. The multivariate logistic model analysis showed that age (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.07, p = 0.001), yes. of hypoproteinemia (OR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.20, 4.90, p = 0.013), the daily dose of 200 mg (OR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.07, 5.00, p = 0.034), yes. of medication within 14 days prior to surgical intervention (OR = 2.98, 95% CI: 1.19, 7.44, p = 0.019), and no. of microbial clearance (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.70, p = 0.005) were risk factors for the failure of tigecycline treatment. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the AUC area of the prediction model was 0.745 (0.675-0.815), and the decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the model was effective in clinical practice. Conclusion Age, hypoproteinemia, daily dose, medication within 14 days prior to surgical intervention, and microbial clearance are all significant risk factors for failed treatment with CRAB-VAP, with the nomogram model indicating that high age was the most important factor. Because the failure rate of CRAB-VAP treatment with tigecycline was high, this prediction model can help doctors correct or avoid risk factors during clinical treatment.

Biochar and nano-hydroxyapatite combined remediation of soil surrounding tailings area: Multi-metal(loid)s fixation and soybean rhizosphere soil microbial improvement. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133817. [PMID: 38422730 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
The soil near tailings areas is relatively barren and contaminated by multi-metal(loid)s, seriously threatening the safety of crop production. Here, biochar and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) were combined to improve the sterilized and unsterilized polymetallic contaminated soil, and soil incubation and soybean pot experiments were designed. Results showed that biochar and nHAP not only increased soil C, N, and P but also effectively reduced multi-metal bioavailability, wherein the combined application of the two amendments had the best effect on metal immobilization. The synergistic effect of the two amendments decreased the acid-soluble contents of Co, Cu, Fe, and Pb in rhizosphere soils up to 86.75%, 80.69%, 89.09%, and 96.70%, respectively. The ameliorant reduced the accumulation of metal(loid)s in soybean plants, and rhizosphere microorganisms inhibited the migration of soil metals to plants. Additionally, biochar and nHAP regulated the rhizosphere soil microbial community. The rhizosphere soil of the sterilization group tended to prioritize the restoration of the original dominant bacteria. As, Pb, Fe, Urease, OM, TN, and TP were the critical environmental variables affecting rhizosphere soil bacterial communities. Therefore, combining biochar and nHAP is an environmentally friendly strategy to reduce polymetallic mobility in tailings soil and crops and improve soil microbial community structure.

Comprehensive insight into mercury contamination in atmospheric, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems surrounding a typical antimony-coal mining district. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133880. [PMID: 38430592 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
This study comprehensively investigated mercury (Hg) contents of various environmental compartments in a typical antimony-coal mining area with intensive industrial activities over the past 120 years to analyze Hg environmental behaviors and evaluate Hg risks. The total mercury (THg) contents in river water, sediments, soils, PM10, dust falls, vegetables and corns were 1.16 ± 0.63 µg/L, 2.01 ± 1.64 mg/kg, 1.87 ± 3.88 mg/kg, 7.87 ± 18.68 ng/m3, 13.01 ± 14.53 mg/kg, 0.30 ± 0.34 mg/kg and 3.11 ± 0.51 µg/kg, respectively. The δ202Hg values in soils and dust falls were - 1.58 ∼ 0.12‰ and 0.25 ∼ 0.30‰, respectively. Environmental samples affected by industrial activities in the Xikuangshan (XKS) presented higher THg and δ202Hg values. Binary mixing model proved that atmospheric deposition with considerable Hg deposition flux (0.44 ∼ 6.40, 3.12 ± 2.20 mg/m2/y) in the XKS significantly contributed to Hg accumulations on surface soils. Compared with soils, sediments with more frequent paths and higher burst probabilities presented higher dynamic Hg risks. Children were faced higher health risk of multiple Hg exposure than adults. Furthermore, the health risk of THg by consuming leaf vegetables deserved more attention. These findings provided scientific basis for managing Hg contamination.

Abstract
Based on (10087±44)×10^{6} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, a partial wave analysis of the decay J/ψ→γK_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0}η^{'} is performed. The mass and width of the X(2370) are measured to be 2395±11(stat)_{-94}^{+26}(syst) MeV/c^{2} and 188_{-17}^{+18}(stat)_{-33}^{+124}(syst) MeV, respectively. The corresponding product branching fraction is B[J/ψ→γX(2370)]×B[X(2370)→f_{0}(980)η^{'}]×B[f_{0}(980)→K_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0}]=(1.31±0.22(stat)_{-0.84}^{+2.85}(syst))×10^{-5}. The statistical significance of the X(2370) is greater than 11.7σ and the spin parity is determined to be 0^{-+} for the first time. The measured mass and spin parity of the X(2370) are consistent with the predictions of the lightest pseudoscalar glueball.

Abstract
This study aims to explore possible effect of RNA polymerase I subunit D (POLR1D) on proliferation and angiogenesis ability of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and mechanism herein. The correlation of POLR1D and Yin Yang 1 (YY1) expressions with prognosis of CRC patients in TCGA database was analyzed. Quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were applied to detect expression levels of POLR1D and YY1 in CRC cell lines and CRC tissues. SW480 and HT- 29 cells were transfected with si-POLR1D or pcDNA3.1-POLR1D to achieve POLR1D suppression or overexpression before cell migration, angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were assessed. Western blot was used to detect expressions of p38 MAPK signal pathway related proteins and interaction of YY1 with POLR1D was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). TCGA data showed that both POLR1D and YY1 expressions were up-regulated in CRC patients. High expression of POLR1D was associated with poor prognosis of CRC patients. The results showed that POLR1D and YY1 were highly expressed in CRC cell lines. Inhibition or overexpression of POLR1D can respectively suppress or enhance proliferation and angiogenesis of CRC cells. YY1 inhibition can suppress CRC progression and deactivate p38 MAPK signal pathway, which can be counteracted by POLR1D overexpression. JASPAR predicted YY1 can bind with POLR1D promoter, which was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP. YY1 transcription can up-regulate POLR1D expression to activate p38 MAPK signal pathway, thus promoting proliferation and angiogenesis ability of CRC cells.

Abstract
Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) is a highly hazardous airborne particulate matter that poses a significant risk to humans and animals. Urban airborne particulate matter contributes to the increased incidence and mortality of respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in humans. However, the specific mechanism by which PM2.5 affects animals in barn environments is yet to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effect of exposure to cow barn PM2.5 on rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383) and found that it induced apoptosis via the miR-212-5p/RASSF1 pathway. We found that lnc-Clic5 expression was downregulated in NR8383 cells exposed to cow barn PM2.5. Lnc-Clic5 plays a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory role by sponging miR-212-5p to attenuate the regulation of RASSF1. Moreover, lnc-Clic5 overexpression inhibited NR8383 apoptosis by targeting the miR-212-5p/RASSF1 pathway. Co-treatment with miR-212-5p and lnc-Clic5 in the presence of cow barn PM2.5 revealed that lnc-Clic5 reversed NR8383 cell apoptosis induced by PM2.5 when miR-212-5p was overexpressed. These findings contribute to the study of ncRNAs and ceRNAs regulating PM2.5-induced apoptosis in animal farms, provide therapeutic targets for lung macrophage apoptosis, and may be useful for further evaluating the toxicological effects of PM2.5 in farmhouses on the respiratory systems of humans and animals.

Abstract
Simulating the quantum dynamics of molecules in the condensed phase represents a longstanding challenge in chemistry. Trapped-ion quantum systems may serve as a platform for the analog-quantum simulation of chemical dynamics that is beyond the reach of current classical-digital simulation. To identify a 'quantum advantage' for these simulations, performance analysis of both analog-quantum simulation on noisy hardware and classical-digital algorithms is needed. In this Review, we make a comparison between a noisy analog trapped-ion simulator and a few choice classical-digital methods on simulating the dynamics of a model molecular Hamiltonian with linear vibronic coupling. We describe several simple Hamiltonians that are commonly used to model molecular systems, which can be simulated with existing or emerging trapped-ion hardware. These Hamiltonians may serve as stepping stones towards the use of trapped-ion simulators for systems beyond the reach of classical-digital methods. Finally, we identify dynamical regimes in which classical-digital simulations seem to have the weakest performance with respect to analog-quantum simulations. These regimes may provide the lowest hanging fruit to make the most of potential quantum advantages.

[PMID: 38376850 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000001202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND An extensive body of research has explored the role of autophagy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), revealing its critical involvement in the disease's pathogenesis, progression, and therapeutic targeting. However, there is a discernible deficit in quantitative, analytical studies concerning autophagy in the context of HCC. Accordingly, this investigation endeavored to meticulously assess the evolution of autophagy research, employing bibliometric citation analysis to offer a comprehensive evaluation of the findings in this field. METHODS The authors conducted a literature search on 2 August 2023, to extract relevant publications spanning from 2013 to 2022, indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE) of the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). Subsequently, the authors performed a bibliometric assessment of the compiled documents using visualization tools such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer. RESULTS The search yielded 734 publications penned by 4699 authors, encompassing contributions from 41 countries and 909 institutions, disseminated across 272 journals, and comprising 26 295 co-cited references from 2667 journals. Notably, China led in publication volume with 264 articles (amounting to 35.9%) and exhibited the most robust collaboration with the United States. The mechanisms underlying autophagy's influence on the emergence and advancement of HCC, as well as the implicated proteins and genes, have garnered significant attention. In recent years, investigations of targeting autophagy and the resistance to sorafenib have surfaced as pivotal themes and emerging frontiers in this domain. CONCLUSIONS This study rigorously collated and distilled the prevailing research narratives and novel insights on autophagy in HCC. The resultant synthesis provides a substantive foundation for medical professionals and researchers, as well as pivotal implications for future investigative endeavors in this arena.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a two-dimensional (2D) Hofmann-type spin-crossover coordination polymer [FeII(o-NTrz)2PtII(CN)4]·H2O (o-NTrz = 4-(o-nitrobenzyl)imino-1,2,4-triazole). Due to the remarkable configurational flexibility of triazole-based ligand, the porous structure of this compound can be reversibly regulated by the loss of guest water molecules as a consequence of rotation of o-NTrz. The 180° reorientation of the o-nitrobenzyl moiety not only induces a response of gate-closing/opening of the porous framework but also significantly modulates the spin transition temperature. The present investigation highlights the potential of Hofmann-type SCO compounds with flexible ligands in exploring unusual physical and chemical phenomena.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cyclic cryotherapy and vitamin D administration on early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as its efficacy remains unclear. Methods We divided 150 patients (three groups) who underwent TKA into those treated with or without cyclic cryotherapy and vitamin D. Results Compared with patients who did not receive cyclic cryotherapy, those who received postoperative cyclic cryotherapy and vitamin D supplementation had significantly higher American Knee Society Scores (AKSS) on postoperative day (POD) 7 and at 1 month postoperatively; higher visual analogue scale (VAS) values on POD1-3 and POD7; reduced thigh swelling on POD3 and POD7; increased range of motion (ROM) on POD3, POD7, and at 1 month postoperatively; and reduced postoperative length of stay (PLOS). However, no significant difference in patient satisfaction was observed between the patient groups. At 1 and 3 months postoperatively, patients administered cyclic cryotherapy and vitamin D had significantly higher AKSS, ROM, and vitamin D levels than those who did not receive vitamin D. No perioperative complications such as surgical site infection, skin frostbite, or vitamin D intoxication were observed. Conclusion Cyclic cryotherapy post-TKA had short-term advantages in terms of AKSS, VAS, thigh swelling, ROM, PLOS, and accelerated rehabilitation, but did not improve patient satisfaction. Cyclic cryotherapy combined with vitamin D improved AKSS and ROM at 1 and 3 months postoperatively.
