Abstract
The pathological implications of tumor-associated macrophages in the glioma microenvironment have been highlighted, while there lacks a gene signature to characterize the functional status and clinical implications of these cells. Comprehensive bioinformatics approaches were employed to develop an M2 macrophage-associated gene signature at bulk-tumor and single-cell levels and explore immunological and metabolic features. Consequently, the PI3K pathway and fatty acid metabolism were correlated with the M2 fraction. Further distilling the pathway members resulted in a leukotriene synthesis-related gene signature (Macro index), including PIK3R5, PIK3R6, ALOX5, ALOX5AP, and ALOX15B, that was primarily expressed by monocytes/macrophages. Increased Macro index predicted IL13-induced macrophages, and was associated with T-cell dysfunction at both transcriptional and epigenetic levels and predicted an unfavorable outcome. Besides, the Macro index was proportional with PAI1 at the protein level, with high levels of the latter suggesting a decreased progression-free interval of glioblastoma. Notably, the monocytes/macrophages in the glioma environment contribute to the expression of immune checkpoints and the Macro index predicts glioma responsiveness to anti-PD1 treatment. Together, our study proposed a leukotriene synthesis-related M2 macrophage gene signature, which may provide insights into the role of these cells in the glioma microenvironment and facilitate individually tailored therapeutic strategies for the disease.

Abstract
PAHs have been widely detected to accumulate in saline and hypersaline environments. Moderately halophilic microbes are considered the most suitable player for the elimination of PAHs in such environments. In this study, consortium 5H was enriched under 5% salinity and completely degraded phenanthrene in 5 days. By high-throughput sequencing, consortium 5H was identified as being mainly composed of Methylophaga, Marinobacter and Thalassospira. Combined with the investigation of intermediates and enzymatic activities, the degradation pathway of consortium 5H on phenanthrene was proposed. Consortium 5H was identified as having the ability to tolerate a wide range of salinities (1%-10%) and initial PAH concentrations (50 mg/L to 400 mg/L). It was also able to function under neutral to weak alkaline conditions (pH from 6 to 9) and the phytotoxicity of the produced intermediates showed no significant difference with distilled water. Furthermore, the metagenome of consortium 5H was measured and analyzed, which showed a great abundance of catabolic genes contained in consortium 5H. This study expanded the knowledge of PAH-degradation under hypersaline environments and consortium 5H was proposed to have good potential for the elimination of PAH pollution in saline/hypersaline environments.

Abstract
Objectives: To compare the short-term outcomes of branched stentgrafts for left subclavian artery (LSA) revascularization or partial LSA coverage without reconstruction in the treatment of type B aortic dissection with proximal tear close to LSA. Methods: A total of 125 type B aortic dissection patients were treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in Xinqiao Hospital of the Army Medical University from January 2019 to March 2021. Their medical records were reviewed and the outcomes were followed up. According to the different treatment methodologies, the patients were divided into complete LSA coverage with reconstruction group (n=25) and partial LSA coverage without reconstruction group (n=100). The data of baseline characteristics, clinical outcomes, and incidence of postoperative in-hospital adverse events were collected and compared between the two groups. The adverse events during one-year follow-up were also compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used to compare the cumulative survival rates between groups. Results: Compared with partial LSA coverage group, distance of proximal tear to LSA((8.69±2.32)mm vs. (13.77±1.71) mm) was shorter, in-hospital expenses[175 400(166 000-189 900) yuan vs. 143 700 (138 100-151 800) yuan] was higher, average length of stent [200.00 mm vs. 150.00 (150.00-150.00) mm] and operation time [155.00 (140.00-170.00) min vs. 95.00 (80.00-100.00) min] were longer, and volumes of contrast agent [300.00 (200.00-300.00) ml vs. 200.00 (200.00-300.00) ml] (P<0.05) were higher for patients in the complete LSA coverage with reconstruction group. The incidence of post-operative fever was significantly higher in complete LSA coverage with revascularization group than that in partial LSA partial coverage with reconstruction group (56% vs. 25%, P=0.003). There was no significant difference in the incidences of all-cause death, stroke, endoleak, paraplegia, and LSA branch vessel occlusion between the two groups during follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the cumulative survival rates between the two groups (log-rank test: P=0.572 5). Conclusion: The TEVAR with complete LSA revascularization or partial LSA coverage without reconstruction for type B aortic dissection close to LSA are safe and effective with high success rates. There is no significant difference between these two techniques in short-term outcomes.

Abstract
NETs are chromatin-derived webs extruded from neutrophils as a result of either infection or sterile stimulation using chemicals, cytokines, or microbes. In addition to the classical role that NETs play in innate immunity against infection and injuries, NETs have been implicated extensively in cancer progression, metastatic dissemination, and therapy resistance. The purpose of this review is to describe recent investigations into NETs and the roles they play in tumor biology and to explore their potential as therapeutic targets in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Sansevieria trifasciata var. laurentii (De Wild.) N.E. Brown, commonly known as variegated snake plant or variegated mother-in-law's tongue, is a popular landscape and house plant. In September and October 2019, the obvious leaf spot symptoms were observed on the plants in a 0.2 hm2 of nursery in Qingdao city of China with incidence of 55%. The disease usually starts from the tip or edge of the leaf, initially have slightly water-soaked semi-circular or round brown lesions, which gradually expanded and coalesced into irregular shapes about 3-8 cm in diameter. Grayish brown sunken spots with dark margins that evolve into concentric rings of acervuli which were characteristic of anthracnose, and orange sticky conidial masses were observed under the moist condition. The leaves with typical anthracnose symptoms were collected and deposited in the herbarium of Qingdao agricultural university under accessions no. QDHB074-QDHB087. Subsequently 20 isolates with the same colony and morphological characteristics were obtained from ten diseased leaves by placing surface-sterilized tissue pieces with typical spots on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Colonies are floccose with grayish-white to dark olivaceous gray color, and gray black on the reverse after 14 days at 28°C. Straight conidia [15.0 to 27.5 × 3.5 to 7.0 μm in size (average 18.2 × 6.1 μm) (n = 50)] were cylindrical, aseptate, hyaline, slippery surface, most with one tapering end and the other oval. Setae were black, 185-230 μm in length, with a thin tip and septate in the middle. Appressoria [6.5 to 7.3 × 7.8 to 9.2 μm in size (average 6.8 × 8.1 μm) (n = 15)] were black to dark brown, solitary, spherical with smooth wall. The fungal isolates were identified as Colletotrichum sansevieriae Nakamura (Nakamura et al. 2006), based on the morphological characteristics. To confirm the identification, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and calmodulin (CAL) regions of a representative isolate HWL-1016 were amplified by primers ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990) and CMD5/CMD6 (Weir et al. 2012), respectively. The 549 bp ITS (MN922517) and 597 bp CAL (OM994078) sequences had respectively 100% and 99.30% identity with the sequences from holotype species of C. sansevieriae MAFF 239721 (no. NR_152313 and LC180125). Phylogenetic tree based on ITS and CAL sequences respectively or jointly constructed by PAUP4.0 (Swofford 2002) revealed that the fungus in this study clustered with C. sansevieriae isolates (NR_152313, KC790947, HQ433226, JF911349, MN386823). Pathogenicity test of isolate HWL1016 was evaluated on five 3- to 4-month-old potted S. trifasciata var. laurentii under greenhouse conditions (27±2 °C, 16-hr light/8-hr dark photoperiod, 80% relative humidity). Conidial suspension (1×106 conidia/mL) of the isolated fungus from PDA colonies cultured for 15 days and sterile distilled water (as control) were sprayed on pin-pricked surface-sterilized (70% alcohol) leaves of potted plants, respectively. Three replications (three plants) were done for each treatment, and the experiment was repeated twice. The inoculated plants were covered with plastic films for 2 days and obvious water-soaked wounds were observed on the sixth day. After 16 days, the symptoms of the inoculated plants were similar to those in the nursery, with disease incidence reached 100%, while controls remained symptomless. C. sansevieriae was subsequently reisolated from the symptomatic tissues. Anthracnose on S. trifasciata var. laurentii caused by C. sansevieriae has been reported in Australia, Iran, Japan, Malaysia (Kee et al. 2020), South Korea, USA (Talhinhas & Baroncelli 2021), India (Gautam et al. 2012) and Thailand (Li et al. 2020). To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. sansevieriae causing anthracnose on S. trifasciata var. laurentii in China. This study will contribute to guide effective management based on pathogen.

Abstract
Background: Lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) carry a high risk of malignant transformation, leading to severe neurologic deterioration and ultimately, death. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an essential role in tumor maintenance, progression, and immunotherapy resistance. Therefore, the LGG TME deserves comprehensive exploration for a novel therapeutic target.Methods: The ESTIMATE algorithm was used to estimate infiltrating stromal and immune cells of LGG patients obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to classify survival differences. TME-related differentially expressed genes were identified between the low- and high-immune/stromal groups. Hub genes were screened by constructing protein–protein interaction networks and performing the Cox regression analysis. Differential analysis, survival analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, and clinical relevance analysis specific to hub genes were evaluated by using the TCGA and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas datasets, and the results were validated by qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry in tissues from LGG patients.Results: The immune and stromal components in TME were negatively related to patient prognosis. Differentially expressed genes sharing immune score and stromal score were mainly involved in the immune response. C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5), as only a hub gene, was significantly higher in LGG patients than normal patients and negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients. High-expression CCR5 was positively related to immune-related and tumor progression pathways. CCR5 protein expression was higher in LGG with isocitrate dehydrogenase wildtype. Validated results showed that CCR5 was upregulated in LGG tissues at mRNA and protein levels and could affect immune cell infiltration. These results suggested that CCR5 was a potential indicator for the status of TME.Conclusion: Glioma cells remodel the immune microenvironment through the high expression of CCR5 and lead to a poor prognosis in patients with LGG. The inhibition of CCR5 may contribute to the efficacy of LGG immunotherapy.

Abstract
Study question
What is the correlation between a reproductive-tract specific beta-defensin DEFB119 and seminal microbiome and their involvement in male infertility?
Summary answer
A subpopulation of male-factor infertile patients demonstrated an elevated level of DEFB119 that is associated with decreased bacterial diversity and differentially regulated bacterial taxa.
What is known already
Beta-defensins are small (2-6kDa) cationic peptides with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. A group of beta-defensins are specifically expressed in the male reproductive tract (MRT) and modulate sperm functions and fertility. Accumulating evidence suggests an association between seminal microbiome and semen quality. Specific bacterial taxa are involved in the development and maturation of the sperm, while dysbiosis contributes to infertility. However, despite the antimicrobial nature of beta-defensins, whether these small peptides interact with the seminal microbiome remain elusive.
Study design, size, duration
93 semen samples were collected from the Prince of Wales Hospital (Hong Kong). The seminal DEFB119 level was determined by ELISA and the seminal microbiome was examined by 16S rRNA sequencing. The effect of DEFB119 on the seminal microbiome was validated in a subgroup of 5 samples by comparing total bacterial load (n = 5) and the abundance of selected genera (n = 4) after incubating with recombinant DEFB119 (2ug/ml) or vehicle for 1hr at 37°C.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The patients were grouped according to seminal DEFB119 level and the spermiogram. Samples with DEFB119 levels below the threshold (900ng/ml, median of the cohort) were in G1/2 (n = 30/53) based on the absence/presence of abnormal sperm parameters. Samples with elevated levels of DEFB119 and abnormal sperm parameters were in G3 (n = 5). The seminal microbiome in G1-3 was analyzed by Quantitative Insights into Microbial Ecology (2021.2) and R package microeco.
Main results and the role of chance
Seminal DEFB119 level in G3 was significantly higher than that in G1 and 2 (p < 0.001). Microbiome alpha and beta diversity were comparable in G1 and G2 (p > 0.1) but was significantly lower in G3 (p < 0.05). Taxonomic analysis showed the dominance of different bacterial taxa in the three groups, including Prevotella in G1 and 2, and Streptococcus in G3. The dysbiosis of seminal microbiome in patients with an elevated level of DEFB119 demonstrated a marked reduction in the complexity of functional networks. In validation experiments, recombinant DEFB119 treatment in G1 or G2 seminal plasma samples decreased the total bacterial load. Of note, the abundance of Prevotella and Streptococcus was differentially regulated by rDEFB119 treatment.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Our study is a single-center study with a relatively small sample size, which makes interpretation of the analysis susceptible to individual variations. As a result, G3-specific abundant taxa identified in 16S rRNA analysis may not be representative.
Wider implications of the findings
Our work has provided novel insight into the host-microbiome interaction via reproductive-tract-specific antimicrobial peptides, which shed light on the aetiology of male-factor infertility.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) is one of the key enzymes to produce acetyl coenzyme A. What is its role in early embryonic development?
Summary answer
ACLY affected by activation of T447, S451 and S455 sites into nucleus and band with EP300 to affect genomic DNA and ribosomal DNA transcription.
What is known already
ACLY is one of the key enzymes to produce acetyl coenzyme A, which participates in fatty acid metabolism and regulates acetylation. Studies have found that ACLY knockout cells can survive, while the cell proliferation capacity will be weakened. ACLY is highly expressed in the cytoplasm of Hela cells colon cancer cells and other somatic cells. When AKT phosphorylates S455 site, ACLY enters the nucleus and participates in DNA damage repair. Its localization and role in embryos have not been studied. The only thing we know is homozygous mice could not be detected at E8.5 days after implantation.
Study design, size, duration
Twenty-four human day 6 developmentally arrested embryos were used to detect ACLY localization. Dozens of ACLY heterozygous female mice were used to test the time points of ACLY homozygous lethality after mating with heterozygous male mice. After zygotes were taken from wild-type C57BL6 mice, microinjection technology was used to explore the effects of knocking down ACLY, changing ACLY location or mutating ACLY. HeLa cells were used to explore at the molecular level.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
In this experiment, we used human abandoned or donated embryos, gene knockout mice, wild-type C57BL6 mice and Hela cell.
The experimental techniques used include in vitro embryo culture, EU staining, plasmid transfection, immunoprecipitation, western blot analysis, in vitro transcription, microinjection, immunofluorescence, RT-PCR and RNA-seq.
Main results and the role of chance
Firstly, our study found its special nuclear localization in early embryos for the first time and proved that its localization was related to embryonic development potential.
Secondly, the specific period of ACLY homozygous death was identified by ACLY heterozygous mice. And by knocking down ACLY or adding inhibitor SB204990, It was found that ACLY played an important role in cell proliferation, blastocyst formation and lineage differentiation of early embryo development.
Thirdly, we proved that ACLY nucleation played an important role in the development of early embryos. and the activated form of T447, S451 and S455 three sites led to ACLY nucleation.
Finally, we found that ACLY affected the level of histone acetylation and UBF acetylation. And then genomic DNA and ribosomal DNA transcription level were decreased. We further explored how the acetyl group produced by ACLY regulated transcription. The interaction between ACLY and EP300 was confirmed by immunofluorescence and COIP experiments. After knocking down EP300 in embryos or inhibiting its function with inhibitor c646, the results are consistent with knocking down ACLY. The above experimental data prove that ACLY affects histone acetylation level and regulates gene opening through the interaction with EP300.
Limitations, reasons for caution
We need to further explore the factors that promote ACLY into the nucleus, so as to add it to in vitro culture to enhance the embryonic development potential.
Wider implications of the findings
The study provides a new mechanism for insulin or lysophosphatidic acid to promote embryo development, and helps to improve the quality of embryo development in the process of embryo culture in vitro.

Abstract
The quinolone ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic used for human medicine as well as the aquaculture industry. The emergence of ciprofloxacin-resistant Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains is currently a global public health concern. However, the mechanism of ciprofloxacin resistance in V. parahaemolyticus is not yet fully clarified. We generated mutants with decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility using in vitro selection and investigated genes associated with ciprofloxacin resistance on a genetic level. Our selection process yielded mutants that possessed altered minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for ciprofloxacin and other unrelated antibiotics. These included Ser83Ile mutations in GyrA and Val461Glu in ParE as well as mutations in the resistance nodulation cell division (RND) family transporter gene vmeD and the putative TetR family regulator gene vp0040 upstream of the vmeCD operon. Measurements of steady-state mRNA levels revealed that the ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants overexpressed vmeCD. Further, the introduction of the vp0040 mutated allele from H512 into the sensitive parental strain increased the MIC for ciprofloxacin 31.25-fold. Taken together, these results indicated that ciprofloxacin resistance in these mutants was due to the quinolone resistance determining region mutation as well as overexpression of vmeCD caused by a loss of vp0040 gene repression. This also accounted for the presence of the multidrug resistance phenotype for these mutant strains since RND efflux system can export structurally unrelated antibiotics.

Abstract
Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.; Paeoniaceae) is highly valued in Chinese culture for their ornamental and medicinal benefits in anti-inflammation, anti-arrhythmia, activating the immune system and protecting the cardiovascular system (Zhai et al. 2020). In May from 2019 to 2021, leaf spot symptoms were observed on tree peony in an area of 0.8 hm2 in Bozhou, Anhui Province, China; with a disease incidence of 35%. Initially, black-brown spots (0.5-2.4 mm) appeared on the leaves, as the disease developed, the spots enlarged to form round, black lesions. Small pieces of tissue taken from the margins of lesions were surface-disinfected by 75% ethanol for 20 s followed by 0.1% mercuric chloride for 3 min, rinsed with distilled sterile water for three times, placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 25 ºC for 7 days in the dark.Fifteen single spore isolates were obtained as described (Dong 2009). When cultured on PDA for 10 days, colonies were white, villose, then became gray-brown, with the reverse side becoming reddish-brown; Chlamydospores globose or irregular shaped, dark brown, unicellular or multicellular (4.3 to 12.2 × 13.1 to 33.7 µm) (n = 200). Pycnidia were black-brown, mostly spheroid, and 86 to 128 × 110 to 197 µm (n = 50); Conidia were hyaline, ellipsoidal, unicellular, aseptate, and 4.1 to 5.2 × 1.8 to 2.4 µm (n = 200) . The DNA of a representative isolate AF21-1-2 was extracted using the CTAB protocol (Doyle and Doyle 1987). The rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), β-tubulin (TUB) and 28s nrDNA (LSU) genes were amplified and sequenced using the primers ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), Bt2a/Bt2b (Glass et al. 1995), and LR5/LR0R (Vilgalys and Hester, 1990), respectively (OK485136, OK631973, and ON358331). BLASTn analysis showed that the ITS, TUB, and LSU sequences had 99% (497/501 bp), 98% (530/539 bp), and 99% (878/882 bp) identity with the Epicoccum sorghinum isolates ESCZO20 (MN944541), CZ01 (MT254851) and Dl16-338 (LN907481), respectively. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree revealed that AF21-1-2 clustered with E. sorghinum isolates. For pathogenicity test, leaves of 3-year-old healthy tree peony plant in the field were inoculated with 105 conidia/ml spore suspension (prepared with 30-day-old cultures on PDA), added with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-80. Ten surface-sterilized leaves per plant were sprayed with 30 ml suspension until runoff, a total of 3 plants were inoculated. Leaves sprayed with sterilized water serve as a negative control. Each plant was covered with a plastic bag to maintain high relative humidity at 15 to 23°C and was monitored daily for symptom development. Typical symptoms appeared on more than 80% of the leaves after 7 days of inoculation, while control leaves remained symptomless. Cultures isolated from inoculated leaves had the same morphological and molecular traits as those that were previously used to test Koch's postulates. Based on the morphological and molecular characteristics, the causal agent on tree peony was identified as E. sorghinum (Aveskamp et al. 2010). To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. sorghinum causing leaf spot on tree peony in China. The disease will cause serious economic loss for tree peony if it is not managed properly. This report may provide the basis for diagnosis and control of the disease.

Abstract
Background In recent years, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has been a concern of many researchers, as it is one of the main drivers of cancer-related deaths worldwide. GBM in general usually does not responding well to immunotherapy due to its unique microenvironment. Methods To uncover any further informative immune-related prognostic signatures, we explored the immune-related distinction in the genetic or epigenetic features of the three types (expression profile, somatic mutation, and DNA methylation). Twenty eight immune-related hub genes were identified by Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA). The findings showed that three genes (IL1R1, TNFSF12, and VDR) were identified to construct an immune-related prognostic model (IRPM) by lasso regression. Then, we used three hub genes to construct an IRPM for GBM and clarify the immunity, mutation, and methylation characteristics. Results Survival analysis of patients undergoing anti-program cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) therapy showed that overall survival was superior in the low-risk group than in the high-risk group. The high-risk group had an association with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), high immune cell infiltration, immune activation, a low mutation number, and high methylation, while the low-risk group was adverse status. Conclusions In conclusion, IRPM is a promising tool to distinguish the prognosis of patients and molecular and immune characteristics in GBM, and the IRPM risk score can be used to predict patient sensitivity to checkpoint inhibitor blockade therapy. Thus, three immune-related signatures will guide us in improving treatment strategies and developing objective diagnostic tools.

Background
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or venous thromboembolism (VTE) receiving long-term direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy undergo diagnostic or therapeutic procedures at a rate of approximately 10% annually. The prospective Global EMIT-AF/VTE program (Edoxaban Management in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures; NCT02950168, NCT02951039) demonstrated that physician-guided periprocedural management of the DOAC edoxaban in these patients was associated with low bleeding and thromboembolic event rates. It is unclear whether the experience of a previous (index) procedure influences the periprocedural management of subsequent procedures.
Purpose
To analyze differences in periprocedural edoxaban management in patients on chronic anticoagulation therapy undergoing multiple diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Methods
Baseline characteristics were recorded in patients enrolled in the EMIT-AF/VTE program who underwent multiple procedures. Details of periprocedural edoxaban interruption were collected from patients who underwent two procedures of the same European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) bleeding risk level or procedural type. Only data from the index and second procedure of the same category were included in this analysis; procedures conducted less than 7 days apart were excluded. All analyses are exploratory and descriptive in nature.
Results
Among 227 patients who underwent multiple procedures, the most common types were vascular and gastrointestinal (GI) procedures. Patients had a mean ± standard deviation age of 72.1 ± 9.8 years, a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 3.2 ± 1.6, a HAS-BLED score of 1.9 ± 1.0, and were mostly male (67.0%). Patients who underwent low/minor risk procedures were less likely to undergo edoxaban interruption with their second procedure compared with their index procedure (Figure 1A), and the median interruption duration was shorter for the second procedure (Table 1). A second high risk procedure was associated with a higher rate of both pre- and postprocedural edoxaban interruption compared with a patient’s index procedure, but treatment resumed earlier (Figure 1B). Patients who underwent vascular procedures had a lower rate of pre- and postprocedural interruption and a shorter interruption time with their second procedure (Table 1). Conversely, patients who underwent GI procedures experienced pre- and postprocedural interruption more often for their second procedure. The median interruption duration was longer for GI procedures than for vascular procedures (Table 1).
Conclusion
Overall, periprocedural edoxaban interruption varied by procedural bleeding risk and type. Edoxaban interruption patterns differed between index and second procedures, indicating that periprocedural edoxaban management may be influenced by the experience of previous procedures.

Abstract
Background: Although ferroptosis has been validated to play a crucial role in some types of tumors, the influence of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) on the immune microenvironment in low-grade glioma (LGG) remains unclear. In this research, we screen the FRGs to assess the prognosis value and immune microenvironment in LGG, to provide reliable diagnosis and treatment evidence for the clinic. Methods: A total of 1,239 patients of LGG samples were selected for subsequent analyses from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas, and the Repository of Molecular Brain Neoplasia Data datasets. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen for prognostic FRGs. Consensus clustering was utilized to determine ferroptosis subtypes of LGG patients. Next, the prognostic model was constructed based on differentially expressed FRGs and validation in the validating datasets. The immune microenvironment, biological pathway, and hypoxia score were explored by single-sample gene set enrichment analysis. The potential response of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy was also estimated. In addition, the correlation between the risk score and autophagy-related genes was examined by the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: A total of three ferroptosis subtypes were identified by consensus clustering for prognostic FRGs which exhibited different outcomes, clinicopathological characteristics, and immune microenvironment. Afterward, a prognostic model that performed great predictive ability based on nine prognostic FRGs has been constructed and validated. Moreover, the prognostic model had the potential to screen the sensitivity to chemotherapy and immunotherapy in LGG patients. Finally, we also found that the prognostic model has a great connection to autophagy and hypoxia. Conclusion: We developed a ferroptosis-related prognostic model which strongly linked to diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and recurrence of LGG. This study also reveals the connection between ferroptosis and tumor immune microenvironment.

Abstract
Glioma is one of the most human malignant diseases and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Nevertheless, the present stratification systems do not accurately predict the prognosis and treatment benefit of glioma patients. Currently, no comprehensive analyses of multi-omics data have been performed to better understand the complex link between pyroptosis and immune. In this study, we constructed four pyroptosis immune subgroups by pyroptosis regulators and obtained nine pyroptosis immune signatures by analyzing the differentially expressed genes between the four pyroptosis immune subgroups. Nine novel pyroptosis immune signatures were provided for assessing the complex heterogeneity of glioma by the analyses of multi-omics data. The pyroptosis immune prognostic model (PIPM) was constructed by pyroptosis immune signatures, and the PIPM risk score was established for glioma cohorts with a total of 1716 samples. Then, analyses of the tumor microenvironment revealed an unanticipated correlation of the PIPM risk score with stemness, immune checkpoint expression, infiltrating the immune system, and therapy response in glioma. The low PIPM risk score patients had a better response to immunotherapy and showed sensitivity to radio-chemotherapy. The results of the pan-cancer analyses revealed the significant correlation between the PIPM risk score and clinical outcome, immune infiltration, and stemness. Taken together, we conclude that pyroptosis immune signatures may be a helpful tool for overall survival prediction and treatment guidance for glioma and other tumors patients.

Abstract
Fossil evidence of eukaryotic life older than 1.8 Ga has long been debated because known fossils of that age usually lack cellular micro- and ultra-structures that bear strong affinities to eukaryotes. These include fossils of the ∼1.9 Ga Gunflint Chert microbiota that, despite being exceptionally well preserved, have suffered from cellular degradation, which poses challenges to studying their delicate cellular structures. In this study, we use an extended-focal-depth imaging technique, in combination with scanning electron microscopy, to document multiple types of large (10-35 μm diameter), cyst-like bodies based on distinctive details such as (1) radially arranged internal strands similar to those in some acritarchs and dinoflagellates; (2) regularly spaced long tubular processes, stubby pustules, and/or robust podia on the cell surface; (3) reticulate cell-wall sculpturing such as scale-like tubercles, pits, and ridges; and (4) internal bodies that may represent membrane-bound organelles. These micro- and ultra-structures provide strong morphological evidence for the presence of protists in the late Paleoproterozoic.

Abstract
The CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is an essential step in natural photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis to provide carbohydrate foods and hydrocarbon energy in the carbon-neutral cycle. However, the current solar conversion efficiencies and/or product selectivity of the CO2RR are very sluggish due to its complicated multiple-step charge transfer reactions. Here, we systematically investigate the charge transfer reaction rate during CO2 reduction on CuBi2O4 photocathodes, where the surface is modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). We discover that the surface amine group increases the charge separation rate, significantly enhancing the surface charge transfer reaction rate. However, the surface acidity has less influence on the first-order reaction, indicating that a rate-determining step (RDS) exists in the early stage of the photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) processes. Moreover, the intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) confirms that both surface charge transfer and the recombination rate on APTES-coated CuBi2O4 are larger than bare CuBi2O4 while possessing comparable charge transfer efficiencies. Overall, the surface charge transfer reactions under the PEC condition require designing more effective nanostructured photoelectrodes and powerful characterization methods to intrinsically increase the charge separation and transfer rate while reducing the recombination rate.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the prevalence and frequencies of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in cervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). Methods: The cases of cervical AIS with concurrent tests of cytology and HPV typing from January 2007 to February 2020 in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 478 cases of cervical AIS were obtained. The average age of the patients was 39.4 years (range, 19-81 years). The largest age group was 30-39 years (44.8%), followed by 40-49 years (34.7%). Among the 478 patients, 355 underwent high-risk HPV (hrHPV) testing and had a hrHPV-positive rate of 93.8%. Of the 355 patients, 277 also underwent HPV typing and were mostly positive for either or both HPV16 and HPV18 (93.1%), with 55.6% positive for HPV18 and 48.7% positive for HPV16. Among the 478 cases, 266 cases (55.6%) were diagnosed with both AIS and squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL), while 212 cases (44.4%) were diagnosed with only AIS. Patients infected with HPV16 in the AIS and SIL group significantly outnumbered those in the AIS alone group (P<0.05). Moreover, the rate of positive cytology was 55.9% (167/299 cases), while that of negative cytology was 44.1% (132/299). Among the 109 patients with negative cytology results and co-tested hrHPV, there were 101 HPV-positive cases (92.7%), of which 88 cases were subject to HPV typing and showed an HPV16/18 positive rate of 94.3% (83/88 cases). Conclusions: The combination of HPV typing and cytological screening can maximize the detection rate of cervical AIS, and should continue to be utilized, ideally on a larger scale, in the future.

Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a common marine foodborne pathogen that causes gastroenteritis. With the long-term use of antibiotics, many bacteria become resistant strains, therefore, developing antibiotic-free antimicrobial strategies is urgent. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as the abundant constituent of polyphenols in tea extract has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and non-toxicity. Here, we took advantage of EGCG to evaluate its inhibition effect on the growth of V. parahaemolyticus 17802 and the biofilm formation, and explore its antibacterial mechanism. It was found that EGCG showed antibacterial activity to V. parahaemolyticus 17802, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is 128 μg mL-1 , crystal violet staining and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) evidenced EGCG hindered its biofilm formation. Moreover, the swimming motility and extracellular polysaccharides were also notably inhibited. The antibacterial mechanism was further confirmed by several assays, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), live/dead staining assay, together with membrane permeability assay, which all suggested that EGCG caused damage to cell membrane and made it lose integrity, eventually resulting in the death of V. parahaemolyticus 17802. The bactericidal activity of EGCG verified its potential as a promising candidate to combat foodborne pathogen.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic and relapsing autoimmune disorders with active participation of Th17 lymphocytes. In the recent treatment strategy of Crohn's disease, human umbilical cord matrix (Wharton's jelly) has been reported having immune privilege. In this study, primary umbilical cord MSC were isolated and cultured for further treatment, their immunophenotype and functional features were confirmed by flow cytometry and adipogenesis, osteogenesis, and chondrogenesis assays. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from 11 patients with fistulizing Crohn's disease and 14 healthy volunteers, and the proportions of CD8-CD17A+T lymphocytes and CD3+T cells in these samples cultured in the presence or absence of umbilical cord MSC were analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, proliferation of T cells was assessed by CFSE staining. In PBMC samples from patients with Crohn's disease, the content of CD8-CD17A+T lymphocytes was higher than in samples from heathy controls, however, co-culturing with umbilical cord MSC decreased the proportion of CD8-CD17A+T lymphocytes in PBMC samples isolated from Crohn's disease patients. Additionally, co-culturing of PBMC from Crohn's disease patients with umbilical cord MSC improved T cells function, including CD3+T cells level and T cells proliferation. These results suggest that umbilical cord MSC treatment could alleviate elevation CD8-CD17A+T lymphocyte in Crohn's disease patients and modulate T cells dysfunctions, which implies that umbilical cord MSC might be a promising strategy for Crohn's disease patients.

Abstract
Background Processed foods are popular and contain large amounts of industrial fructose, which changes people’s diet and exacerbates the negative health effects of high fructose. Several studies have shown that excessive intake of fructose has a major impact on vascular disease. However, the mechanism of the effect of high fructose on blood vessels is currently unclear. Methods The effect of fructose on the vasodilatation of isolated thoracic aortic rings was observed by using wire myography in wild-type (WT) mice. Cell viability and nitric oxide (NO) production were assessed by the corresponding kits in mouse vascular endothelial cells. The effect of fructose on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and their changes in phosphorylation were detected by using Western blots. Moreover, a PP2A inhibitor (okadaic acid, OA) was used to evaluate the relationship between fructose and PP2A. Furthermore, PP2ACα endothelial-specific knockout (PP2A cKO) mice were used to detect the vasodilatation of in vitro fructose-incubated thoracic aortic rings by using wire myography. Results High fructose induced endothelium-dependent dysfunctional vasodilatation. High fructose reduced acetylcholine (Ach)-induced vasodilation but did not affect sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced vasodilation. Accordingly, NO production and the phosphorylation level of eNOS at serine (Ser) 1177 (P-eNOS) in vascular endothelial cells were remarkably reduced without changes in cell viability. The expression of protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit (PP2AC) was increased and the expression of phosphorylated PP2AC (P-PP2A, tyrosine [Tyr] 307) was significantly decreased. Nevertheless, these effects were reversed by OA. Moreover, knockout of the PP2A gene could recover the response of vessels to Ach under high fructose stimulation. Conclusions Our observations demonstrate an underlying mechanism of fructose-induced dysfunctional vasodilatation. Fructose could activate PP2A, which leads to decrease in the phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser1177 and the reduction of NO release, thus leading to the occurrence of endothelium-dependent dysfunctional vasodilatation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the safety and effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for oligometastases from colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm phase Ⅱ trial. Patients who had histologically proven CRC, 1 to 5 detectable liver or lung metastatic lesions with maximum diameter of any metastases ≤5 cm were eligible. SBRT was delivered to all lesions. The primary endpoint was 3-year local control (LC). The secondary endpoints were treatment-related acute toxicities of grade 3 and above, 1-year and 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test. Results: Petients from 2016 to 2019 who were treated in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. Forty-eight patients with 60 lesions were enrolled, including 37 liver lesions and 23 lung lesions. Forty-six patients had 1 or 2 lesions, with median diameter of 1.3 cm, the median biologically effective dose (BED(10)) was 100.0 Gy. The median follow-up was 19.5 months for all lesions. Twenty-five lesions developed local failure, the median local progression free survival was 15 months. The 1-year LC, OS and PFS was 70.2% (95% CI, 63.7%~76.7%), 89.0% (95% CI, 84.3%~93.7%) and 40.4% (95%CI, 33.0%~47.8%). The univariate analysis revealed that planning target volume (PTV) and total dose were independent prognostic factors of LC (P<0.05). For liver and lung lesions, the 1-year LC, OS and PFS was 58.7% and 89.4% (P=0.015), 89.3% and 86.5% (P=0.732), 30.5% and 65.6% (P=0.024), respectively. No patients developed acute toxicity of grade 3 and above. Conclusion: SBRT is safe and effective treatment method for oligometastases from CRC under precise respiratory motion management and robust quality assurance.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the value of color Doppler ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in evaluating the level of carotid bifurcation and the morphology of extracranial internal carotid artery in patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis. Methods: The carotid artery examination data of 186 patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis who underwent carotid DSA and color Doppler ultrasound in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital from July 2017 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 154 males and 32 females, with ages ranging from 36 to 84 (66±8) years old. The correlation between the position of carotid bifurcation and the level of cervical spine, the distance from the position of carotid bifurcation to mandibular angle, the correlation of the level of bifurcation with the length of neck, and the incidence of carotid distortion were analyzed. Results: DSA showed that the most common position of carotid bifurcation was at C3 level on the left [37.3% (56/150)], and at C3-C4 level on the right [33.6% (42/125)], and the highest position was at C2 level on the left, and at C2-C3 levels on the right, while the lowest level on both sides was at C5 level. The incidence of high bifurcation of left carotid artery (C3 and above) was 46% (69/150), which was higher than that of right carotid artery [21.6% (27/125), P<0.001]. The incidence of high carotid bifurcation in men and women was 33.2% (76/229) and 43.5% (20/46), respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.182). Carotid ultrasound showed that the distance between the left carotid bifurcation and the mandibular angle was (3.0±1.3) cm, which was shorter than that on the right [(3.4±1.2) cm] (P<0.001). The distance between carotid bifurcation and mandibular angle in men and women was (3.2±1.2) cm and (3.3±1.0) cm, respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.093). There was no significant correlation between carotid bifurcation level and carotid length (right: r = 0.02, P = 0.091; left: r = 0.01, P = 0.927). The incidence of carotid artery distortion was 28.1% (9/32) in women and 15.6% (24/154) in men, with no significant difference (P = 0.091). The incidence of right carotid artery distortion in high bifurcation group was 59.3% (16/27), which was higher than that in non-high bifurcation group [3.1% (3/98)] (P<0.001). Likewise, the incidence of left carotid artery distortion in high bifurcation group was 30.4% (21/69), which was higher than that in non-high bifurcation group [2.5% (2/81)] (P<0.001). Conclusions: The bifurcation position of left carotid artery in patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis is higher than that of the right. Patients with high bifurcation of carotid artery are more likely to be complicated with carotid distortion. Preoperative color doppler ultrasound combined with DSA can evaluate the distortion of extracranial carotid artery, thereby providing reference for the selection of surgical methods.

Abstract
Objective: To screen and analyze the key differentially expressed genes characteristics in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with bioinformatics method. Methods: NAFLD-related expression matrix GSE89632 was downloaded from the GEO database. Limma package was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in healthy, steatosis (SS), and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) samples. WGCNA was used to analyze the output gene module. The intersection of module genes and differential genes was used to determine the differential genes characteristic, and then GO function and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed using the online website STRING and Cytoscape software, and the key (Hub) genes were screened. Finally, R software was used to analyze the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the Hub gene. Results: 92 differentially expressed genes characteristic were obtained through screening, which were mainly enriched in inflammatory response-related functions of "lipopolysaccharide response and molecular response of bacterial origin", as well as cancer signaling pathways of "proteoglycan in cancer" and "T-cell leukemia virus infection-related". 10 hub genes (FOS, CXCL8, SERPINE1, CYR61, THBS1, FOSL1, CCL2, MYC, SOCS3 and ATF3) had good diagnostic value. Conclusion: The differentially expressed hub genes among the 10 NAFLD disease-related characteristics obtained with bioinformatics analysis may become a diagnostic and prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for NAFLD. However, further basic and clinical studies are needed to validate.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) can cause abnormal spermatogenesis in male reproductive toxicity. However, the toxicity and toxicological mechanisms of SNPs in testosterone synthesis and secretion in Leydig cells are not well known. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect and molecular mechanism of low doses of SNPs in testosterone production in Leydig cells. For this, mouse primary Leydig cells (PLCs) were exposed to 100 nm Stöber nonporous spherical SNPs. We observed significant accumulation of SNPs in the cytoplasm of PLCs via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). CCK-8 and flow cytometry assays confirmed that low doses (50 and 100 μg/mL) of SNPs had no significant effect on cell viability and apoptosis, whereas high doses (more than 200 μg/mL) decreased cell viability and increased cell apoptosis in PLCs. Monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining showed that SNPs caused the significant accumulation of autophagosomes in the cytoplasm of PLCs. SNPs activated autophagy by upregulating microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3-II) and BCL-2-interacting protein (BECLIN-1) levels, in addition to downregulating sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/P62) level at low doses. In addition, low doses of SNPs enhanced testosterone secretion and increased steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) expression. SNPs combined with rapamycin (RAP), an autophagy activator, enhanced testosterone production and increased StAR expression, whereas SNPs combined with 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and chloroquine (CQ), autophagy inhibitors, had an opposite effect. Furthermore, BECLIN-1 depletion inhibited testosterone production and StAR expression. Altogether, our results demonstrate that low doses of SNPs enhanced testosterone secretion via the activation of autophagy in PLCs.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a recently discovered regulated programmed cell death, is associated with tumorigenesis and progression in glioblastoma. Based on widely recognized ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs), the regulation of ferroptosis patterns and corresponding characteristics of immune infiltration of 516 GBM samples with GSE13041, TCGA-GBM, and CGGA-325 were comprehensively analyzed. Here, we revealed the expression, mutations, and CNV of FRGs in GBM. We identified three distinct regulation patterns of ferroptosis and found the hub genes of immunity and stemness among DEGs in three patterns. A prognostic model was constructed based on five FRGs and verified at the mRNA and protein level. The risk score can not only predict the prognosis but also the degree of immune infiltration and ICB responsiveness by functional annotation. The overall assessment of FRGs in GBM patients will guide the direction of improved research and develop new prognostic prediction tools.

Abstract
5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation is an important RNA modification pattern that can participate in oncogenesis and progression of cancers by affecting RNA stability, expression of oncogenes, and the activity of cancer signaling pathways. Alterations in the expression pattern of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are potentially correlated with abnormalities in the m5C regulation features of cancers. Our aim was to reveal the mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulated the m5C process, to explore the impact of aberrant regulation of m5C on the biological properties of lower-grade gliomas (LGG), and to optimize current therapeutic. By searching 1017 LGG samples from the Cancer Genome Atlas and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas, we first clarified the potential impact of m5C regulators on LGG prognosis in this study and used univariate Cox analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to explore clinically meaningful lncRNAs. Consequently, we identified four lncRNAs, including LINC00265, CIRBP-AS1, GDNF-AS1, and ZBTB20-AS4, and established a novel m5C-related lncRNAs signature (m5CrLS) that was effective in predicting prognosis. Notably, mutation rate, WHO class II, IDH mutation, 1p/19q co-deletion and MGMT promoter methylation were increased in the low m5CrLS score group. Patients with increased m5CrLS scores mostly showed activation of tumor malignancy-related pathways, increased immune infiltrating cells, and decreased anti-tumor immune function. Besides, the relatively high expression of immune checkpoints also revealed the immunosuppressed state of patients with high m5CrLS scores. In particular, m5CrLS stratification was sensitive to assess the efficacy of LGG to temozolomide and the responsiveness of immune checkpoint blockade. In conclusion, our results revealed the molecular basis of LGG, provided valuable clues for our understanding of m5C-related lncRNAs, and filled a gap between epigenetics and tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Background Obesity is a global pandemic with a steady increase in global BMI since 1975. Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for patients with severe obesity in order to sustain long-term weight loss and reduce comorbidity burden and mortality associated with obesity. However, post-bariatric surgery patients face nutritional complications ranging from micronutrient deficiencies to intestinal failure requiring total parenteral nutrition (TPN). From our institution of home TPN patients, 6.4% of patients had bariatric surgery. Intestinal failure is a burdensome diagnosis for patients, and there is a paucity of literature characterizing patients post-bariatric surgery who develop intestinal failure. Aims We aim to identify the patient characteristics, surgical details, and nutritional traits that predisposed patients to developing intestinal failure requiring advanced nutritional support. Methods This is a retrospective chart review of 48 patient admitted to the Royal Alexandra Hospital post-bariatric surgery for nutritional support and followed by the TPN program dieticians and nurses. Results Our results show the mean BMI was 49.94 kg/m2 pre-bariatric surgery. Interestingly, the mean BMI at time of hospitalization for bariatric-surgery related complications was 33.210 kg/m2 which is classified as overweight but most of patients were severely malnourished with SGA C (43.8%), SGA B (29.17%), and 8.3% were SGA A. Patients requiring parenteral nutrition post-bariatric surgery are mostly female, developed barriers to oral intake, 15% engaged in medical tourism, 58.3% had an underlying mental health diagnosis, and only 18.8% were on a multivitamin even though it is standard of post-bariatric surgery care. The time between initial bariatric surgery to hospital admission was 11.2 years, and most required ≥1 revisional surgery. The mean age at bariatric surgery was 33.2-years old and the average age at initial hospitalization was 48.9-years old. Patients requiring ≥2 admissions had vertical band gastroplasty or sleeve gastrectomy (both 36.8%) while 21.1% had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Of these patients, 39.6% of patients required ≥2 hospital admissions and the mean total days spent in hospital was 57.15 days. While these complications are uncommon, these patients result in multiple prolonged hospitalizations and can be difficult to manage. Conclusions Overall, the results of our study will allow the multidisciplinary teams that care for post-bariatric surgery patients to identify patients at risk of intestinal failure and potentially intervene with early enrollment into home nutrition program. With increasing awareness, patients at higher risk can be closely monitored in order to prevent micronutrient deficiencies before they progress to intestinal failure and require lifetime parenteral nutrition.

Abstract
The inodilator levosimendan, in clinical use for over two decades, has been the subject of extensive clinical and experimental evaluation in various clinical settings beyond its principal indication in the management of acutely decompensated chronic heart failure. Critical care and emergency medicine applications for levosimendan have included postoperative settings, septic shock, and cardiogenic shock. As the experience in these areas continues to expand, an international task force of experts from 15 countries (Austria, Belgium, China, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the USA) reviewed and appraised the latest additions to the database of levosimendan use in critical care, considering all the clinical studies, meta-analyses, and guidelines published from September 2019 to November 2021. Overall, the authors of this opinion paper give levosimendan a "should be considered" recommendation in critical care and emergency medicine settings, with different levels of evidence in postoperative settings, septic shock, weaning from mechanical ventilation, weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiogenic shock, and Takotsubo syndrome, in all cases when an inodilator is needed to restore acute severely reduced left or right ventricular ejection fraction and overall haemodynamic balance, and also in the presence of renal dysfunction/failure.

Abstract
Effective treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) remains an open challenge. Given the critical role of the immune microenvironment in the progression of cancers, we aimed to develop an immune-related gene (IRG) signature for predicting prognosis and improving the current treatment paradigm of GBM. Multi-omics data were collected, and various bioinformatics methods, as well as machine learning algorithms, were employed to construct and validate the IRG-based signature and to explore the characteristics of the immune microenvironment of GBM. A five-gene signature (ARPC1B, FCGR2B, NCF2, PLAUR, and S100A11) was identified based on the expression of IRGs, and an effective prognostic risk model was developed. The IRG-based risk model had superior time-dependent prognostic performance compared to well-studied molecular pathology markers. Besides, we found prominent inflamed features in the microenvironment of the high-risk group, including neutrophil infiltration, immune checkpoint expression, and activation of the adaptive immune response, which may be associated with increased hypoxia, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type, and necrosis. Notably, the IRG-based risk model had the potential to predict the effectiveness of radiotherapy. Together, our study offers insights into the immune microenvironment of GBM and provides useful information for clinical management of this desperate disease.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are constantly produced in cells, an excess of which causes oxidative stress. ROS has been linked to regulation of the Hippo pathway; however, the underlying detailed mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report that MOB1, a substrate of MST1/2 and co-activator of LATS1/2 in the canonical Hippo pathway, interacts with and is acetylated at lysine 11 by acetyltransferase CBP and deacetylated by HDAC6. MOB1-K11 acetylation stabilizes itself by reducing its binding capacity with E3 ligase Praja2 and subsequent ubiquitination. MOB1-K11 acetylation increases its phosphorylation and activates LATS1. Importantly, upstream oxidative stress signals promote MOB1 acetylation by suppressing CBP degradation, independent of MST1/2 kinase activity and HDAC6 deacetylation effect, thereby linking oxidative stress to activation of the Hippo pathway. Functionally, the acetylation-deficient mutant MOB1-K11R promotes lung cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and accelerates tumor growth in vivo, compared to the wild-type MOB1. Clinically, acetylated MOB1 corresponds to better prediction of overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, as demonstrated, an oxidative stress-CBP regulatory axis controls MOB1-K11 acetylation and activates LATS1, thereby activating the Hippo pathway and suppressing YAP/TAZ nuclear translocation and tumor progression.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of N-trimethyl chitosan-recombinant tissue factor pathway inhibitor (rTFPI) complex on avulsion flap with roll compaction in rat. Methods: The experimental methods were adopted. The N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI complex solution was prepared by ion cross-linking method. The morphology of the complex was observed by scanning electron microscope, and its diameter was measured. The encapsulation rate of rTFPI in the complex and drug loading rate of the complex was determined and calculated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method (n=3). The concentration of rTFPI in the solution at 0, 10, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 240 minutes of storage was measured by ELISA method to observe the release of rTFPI, and its half-life was calculated (n=3). Twenty-four 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into phosphate buffered saline (PBS) group, N-trimethyl chitosan alone group, rTFPI alone group, and N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group according to the random number table, with 6 rats in each group. The avulsion flaps with roll compaction were prepared on the backs of rats with pedicles located on the line of the bilateral iliac spine and lifted from the surface of the muscle membrane. One injection of corresponding reagents was carried out immediately after in-situ suture and on post operation day (POD) 1, 2, and 3. General changes of the flap were observed on POD 1, 3, and 7. On POD 7, the survival area of the flap was measured and the survival rate of the flap was calculated; the flaps were divided into pedicle, proximal, middle, and distal segments, and the blood perfusion in the proximal, middle, and distal segment tissue of the flap was detected by the laser speckle blood flow imager; tissue samples in the middle of the flap were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin to observe the changes in tissue structure and the infiltration of inflammatory cells, and the numbers of embolized blood vessels and new blood vessels per 100 times visual field were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference test. Results: The N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI complex had an irregular spherical structure with a diameter of 150-200 nm. The encapsulation rate of rTFPI in the complex and drug loading rate of the complex were (88.7±2.1)% and (2.83±0.09)%, respectively. The concentration of rTFPI in the solution of the N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI complex gradually increased with prolonged storage time, and the release was basically stable at 90 min, with half-life of (651±36) min. On POD 1, the distal parts of flaps of rats in N-trimethyl chitosan alone group darkened significantly. On POD 3, scabs and necrosis were relatively mild on the distal segment of the flaps of rats in rTFPI alone group and N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group as compared with those of the other two groups. On POD 7, the necrosis boundaries of the flaps of rats in each group were clear. On POD 7, the flap survival rates of rats in rTFPI alone group and N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group were (63±7)% and (73±5)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (41±3)% in PBS group and (52±7)% in N-trimethyl chitosan alone group. Moreover, the flap survival rate of rats in N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group was significantly higher than that in rTFPI alone group (P<0.05). On POD 7, the flaps of rats in each group had blood perfusion; the blood perfusion values in the proximal segment tissue of the rat flaps in N-trimethyl chitosan alone group and the blood perfusion values in the proximal, middle, and distal segment tissue of the rat flaps in rTFPI alone group and N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group were significantly higher than those in PBS group (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the blood perfusion values in the distal segment tissue of the rat flaps in rTFPI alone group and the blood perfusion values in the middle and distal segment tissue of the rat flaps in N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group were significantly higher than those in N-trimethyl chitosan alone group (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the blood perfusion value in the middle segment tissue of the rat flaps in N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group was significantly higher than that in rTFPI alone group (P<0.01). On POD 7, inflammatory cells infiltrated more and cell edema was obvious in the middle segment tissue of the rat flaps in PBS group and N-trimethyl chitosan alone group. Compared with those of the previous two groups, the inflammation degrees in the middle segment tissue of the rat flaps in rTFPI alone group and N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group were significantly milder, the number of embolized blood vessels was significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the number of new blood vessels was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with that of rTFPI alone group, the number of new blood vessels in the middle segment tissue of the rat flaps in N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI group increased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions: The effect of sustained release of rTFPI can be achieved by loading rTFPI with N-trimethyl chitosan. Compared with rTFPI alone, the N-trimethyl chitosan-rTFPI complex can further improve the blood perfusion of the avulsion flaps with roll compaction in rat and improve the survival rate of the flap.

Abstract
In order to improve the capability of Klebsiella pneumoniae to produce an important chemical raw material, 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), a new type of K. pneumoniae x546 was obtained by glycerol acclimation and subsequently was used to produce 1,3-PDO. Under the control of pH value using Na+ pH neutralizer, the 1,3-PDO yield of K. pneumoniae x546 in a 7.5-L fermenter was 69.35 g/L, which was 1.5-fold higher than the original strain (45.91 g/L). After the addition of betaine, the yield of 1,3-PDO reached up to 74.44 g/L at 24 h, which was 40% shorter than the original fermentation time of 40 h. To study the potential mechanism of the production improvement of 1,3-PDO, the Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) technology was applied to investigate the production of 1,3-PDO in K. pneumoniae. Compared with the control group, 170 up-regulated proteins and 291 down-regulated proteins were identified. Through Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, it was found that some proteins [such as homoserine kinase (ThrB), phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase (PurT), phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide synthase (PurC), etc.] were involved in the fermentation process, whereas some other proteins (such as ProX, ProW, ProV, etc.) played a significant role after the addition of betaine. Moreover, combined with the metabolic network of K. pneumoniae during 1,3-PDO, the proteins in the biosynthesis of 1,3-PDO [such as DhaD, DhaK, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), BudC, etc.] were analyzed. The process of 1,3-PDO production in K. pneumoniae was explained from the perspective of proteome for the first time, which provided a theoretical basis for genetic engineering modification to improve the yield of 1,3-PDO. Because of the use of Na+ pH neutralizer in the fermentation, the subsequent environmental pollution treatment cost was greatly reduced, showing high potential for industry application in the future.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the relationship between renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (RIRI) and the activation of the renal 5-HT degradation system, including 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR), 5-HT synthases and monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A). MAIN METHODS Rat RIRI was induced by removing the right kidney, causing ischemia of the left kidney for 45 min and reperfusion for different times. RIRI model (ischemia for 45 min and reperfusion for 24 h) was pretreated with 5-HT2AR antagonist sarpogrelate hydrochloride (SH) and the 5-HT synthase inhibitor carbidopa. In HK-2 cells, cellular damage was induced by hypoxia (24 h)/reoxygenation (12 h) (H/R) and treated with SH, carbidopa or the MAO-A inhibitor clorgyline. Hematoxylin-eosin, immunohistochemistry, TUNEL and fluorescent probe staining, RT-qPCR, western blotting, ELISA, etc. were used in the tests. KEY FINDINGS The development of RIRI and the emergence of the RIRI peak were consistent with renal 5-HT degradation system activation. The highest expression regions of the 5-HT degradation system overlapped with those of the most severe lesions in the kidney, which were in proximal renal tubules. Rat RIRI and HK-2 cell damage, including oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, could be almost abolished by synergistic inhibition of SH and carbidopa. Clorgyline also abolished the cellular damage induced by H/R. H/R-induced production of mitochondrial ROS in HK-2 cells was due to MAO-A-catalyzed 5-HT degradation, and 5-HT2AR was involved by mediating the expression of 5-HT synthases and MAO-A. SIGNIFICANCE These findings revealed a close association between RIRI and activation of the renal 5-HT degradation system.
