Abstract
Objective: To explore the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using the "All in One" single-artery/vessel technique. Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 30 consecutive patients underwent TAVR using the single artery/vascular technique in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from August to December 2021 were included. Baseline clinical data, operative situation, postoperative outcomes, and incidence of adverse events during hospitalization and at one month post TAVR were analyzed. Results: Mean age was (72.6±9.7) years, 16 were male patients, STS score was (4.73±3.12)%. Four patients were diagnosed as isolated aortic regurgitation (all with tricuspid aortic valves), and 26 patients were diagnosed as aortic stenosis (AS), 10 of whom with tricuspid aortic valves and 16 of whom with bicuspid aortic valves. The single-vessel technique was applied in 3 aortic stenosis cases; the single-artery technique was applied in 27 cases. Echocardiography was performed immediately after procedure and results showed no or trace perivalvular leak in 27 cases and small perivalvular leak in 3 cases; the mean aortic transvalvular gradient of 26 AS patients decreased from (50.4±16.0) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) to (9.4±3.2) mmHg (P<0.001). The procedure time was (64.8±18.9) min. There were no intraoperative death, valve displacement, conversion to surgery, coronary artery occlusion in all 30 patients. There were no major cardiac adverse events such as myocardial infarction or stroke occurred during hospitalization or at follow-up. One-month follow-up echocardiography indicated prosthesis works well. The symptoms were significantly alleviated, and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Score (KCCQ score) of all patients increased from 48.1±18.4 to 73.5±17.6 (P<0.001). Conclusions: TAVR using the single artery/vessel technique is safe and feasible. This technique is related to reduced access complications and worthy of wide application.

Abstract
Advances in sequencing technologies have empowered epitranscriptomic profiling at the single-base resolution. Putative RNA modification sites identified from a single high-throughput experiment may contain one type of modification deposited by different writers or different types of modifications, along with false positive results because of the challenge of distinguishing signals from noise. However, current tools are insufficient for subtyping, visualization, and denoising these signals. Here, we present iMVP, which is an interactive framework for epitranscriptomic analysis with a nonlinear dimension reduction technique and density-based partition. As exemplified by the analysis of mRNA m5C and ModTect variant data, we show that iMVP allows the identification of previously unknown RNA modification motifs and writers and the discovery of false positives that are undetectable by traditional methods. Using putative m6A/m6Am sites called from 8 profiling approaches, we illustrate that iMVP enables comprehensive comparison of different approaches and advances our understanding of the difference and pattern of true positives and artifacts in these methods. Finally, we demonstrate the ability of iMVP to analyze an extremely large human A-to-I editing dataset that was previously unmanageable. Our work provides a general framework for the visualization and interpretation of epitranscriptomic data.

Abstract
Bacteroides fragilis, one of the potential next-generation probiotics, but its protective mechanism is not yet known. We aimed to characterize the anti-inflammatory effect of B. fragilisATCC25285 and to elucidate its mechanism through in vivo and in vitro experiments. An in vitro model of inflammation by induction of colonic cells with TNF-a, and co-cultured with B. fragilis to detect cell viability, apoptosis and invasive capacity. Furthermore, critical proteins of the TLR/NF-κB pathway and the inflammatory cytokines were measured. For animal trials, C57BL/6 J male mice were orally administered B. fragilis or PBS once daily for 21 days. Colitis was induced by drinking 2.5% DSS from days 0 to 7. The mice were weighed daily and rectal bleeding, stool condition and blood in the stool were recorded. We found that B. fragilis treatment alone was harmless and had no effect on cell viability or apoptosis. While predictably TNF-α decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis, B. fragilis attenuated this deterioration. The NF-κB pathway and inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β activated by TNF-α were also blocked by B. fragilis. Notably, the metabolic supernatant of B. fragilis also has an anti-inflammatory effect. Animal studies showed that live B. fragilis rather than dead strain ameliorated DSS-induced colitis, as evidenced by weight loss, shortened colon length and enhanced barrier function. The colonic tissue levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) were decreased and IL-10 was increased as a result of B. fragilis administration. In conclusion, B. fragilis ATCC25285 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects whether in vivo or in vitro, and it may be a potential probiotic agent for improving colitis.

Abstract
The exploration and development of self-powered visible-blind ultraviolet photodetectors (VBUV PDs) with high responsivity and wavelength selectivity have far-reaching significance for versatile applications. Although In2O3 shows potential for UV detection due to good UV absorption and electrical transport properties, the poor wavelength selectivity impedes further application in VBUV PDs. Here, a self-powered photoelectrochemical-type (PEC) VBUV PD is demonstrated by using gallium-indium oxide alloys (Ga-In OAs). The self-powered Ga-In OAs-based PEC VBUV PDs exhibit good VBUV photodetection performance, including a high responsivity of 50.04 mA/W and a high detectivity of 6.03 × 1010 Jones under 254 nm light irradiation, a good wavelength selectivity (UV/visible light rejection ratio of 262.45), and a fast response time (0.45/0.38 s). The good self-powered VBUV detection performance of Ga-In OAs is attributed to the larger band gap and smaller charge-transfer resistance induced by alloy engineering, which not only suppresses the absorption of visible light but also accelerates interfacial charge transfer. Moreover, an underwater optical communication system is demonstrated by using the self-powered Ga-In OAs PEC VBUV PDs. This study demonstrates that alloy engineering is a powerful tool to improve the performance of In2O3-based PEC PDs, and Ga-In OAs have great application potential for underwater optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) surgery is a clinical intervention to treat portal hypertension (PH) by deploying a covered stent to establish a shunt path for the portal vein (PV) system, and proper surgical strategy is of great importance to balance the shunt effect and the risk of complications. To understand the clinical strategies of the stent blind insertion and stent selection in clinic, this study investigated the effects of varying stent insertion positions and diameters on the PV hemodynamics and the shunt effect by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of five post-TIPS subjects. The results showed that the successful TIPS surgeries of the five PH subjects were confirmed by quantifying their pressure drops. The stent insertion positions at the main portal vein (MPV) slightly affected the clinically concerned hemodynamic indexes (i.e., MPV pressure, stent-outlet velocity) and the shunt index (SI). This indicated that the position of the stent going into the MPV may not need to be deliberately selected. Moreover, the covered stents with 6 mm and 8 mm diameters slightly influenced the hemodynamics as well, but the large-diameter stent better improved the shunt effect compared to the small-diameter one. Despite this, the 6 mm stent was suggested thanks to the higher risk of the hepatic encephalopathy (HE) observed in clinic, which indicated the excessive shunt of the 8 mm stent. The current work revealed the effects of different TIPS strategies on the surgical outcome, and could be useful for potential clinical practices.

Abstract
AIMS To report the effect of two three-muscle surgeries, inferior rectus belly transposition plus augmented superior rectus transposition plus medial rectus recession (ISM) and modified vertical rectus belly transposition plus medial rectus recession (VM), in the management of large-angle esotropia in Chinese patients with chronic sixth nerve palsy. METHODS Twenty-eight consecutive patients with large-angle esotropia ≥50Δ were prospectively enrolled and underwent either ISM or VM. Main outcomes included preoperative and postoperative deviation in primary position, abduction limitation and complications. Follow-up was at least 6 months. RESULTS Of the included patients, 13 underwent ISM and 15 underwent VM. Preoperatively, ISM group displayed larger esotropia and more severe abduction limitation. 27 patients completed the follow-up. The postoperative horizontal deviation and abduction limitation were similar in both groups. At the last follow-up, ISM group demonstrated greater improvement of abduction limitation than VM group in both grading (group difference -2.1, p<0.001) and quantitation (group difference 2.6 mm, p=0.001). However, eight (30%) patients revealed an induced adduction limitation ≤-1. Of the 22 patients with unilateral palsy, more esotropia of 14.8Δ was corrected in ISM group, compared with VM group (p=0.003). Three patients (14%) developed vertical diplopia and three (14%) developed torsional diplopia. Unexpectedly, keratitis was observed in 4 of 27 (15%) patients, all with concurrent fifth and/or seventh nerve palsy. Three patients aggravated to corneal ulceration. CONCLUSIONS Two three-muscle surgeries, ISM and VM were both effective for large-angle esotropia in Chinese patients with chronic sixth nerve palsy. However, attention should be paid to potential complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uveitis is an eye disease with a high rate of blindness, whose pathogenesis is not completely understood. Si-Ni-San (SNS) has been used as a traditional medicine to treat uveitis in China. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. This study explored the potential mechanisms of SNS in the treatment of uveitis through network pharmacology and bioinformatics. METHODS Using R language and Perl software, the active components and predicted targets of SNS, as well as the related gene targets of uveitis, were mined through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology, Therapeutic Target, Gene Expression Omnibus, GeneCards, and DrugBank databases. The network diagram of active components and intersection targets was constructed using Cytoscape software and the String database. The CytoNCA plug-in was used to conduct topological analysis on the network diagram and screen out the core compounds and key targets. The genes were analyzed for Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment. Chemoffice, Pymol, AutoDock, and Vina were used to analyze the molecular docking of key targets and core compounds of diseases through the PubChem database. RESULTS JUN, RELA, and MAPK may play important roles in the treatment of uveitis by SNS. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that core genes were mainly concentrated in MAPK, toll-like receptor, tumor necrosis factor, and nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor signaling pathways. In addition, molecular docking results showed that the bioactive compounds (kaempferol, luteolin, naringin, and quercetin) exhibited good binding ability to JUN, RELA, and MAPK. CONCLUSION Based on these findings, SNS exhibits multi-component and multi-target synergistic action in the treatment of uveitis, and its mechanism may be related to anti-inflammatory and immune regulation.

Abstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become increasingly popular in clinical practice in recent years, and there have been significant advances in the principles and stimulation modes of TMS. With the development of multi-mode and precise stimulation technology, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of TMS. The neuroregulatory effects of TMS can vary depending on the specific mode of stimulation, highlighting the importance of exploring these effects through multimodal application. Additionally, the use of precise TMS therapy can help enhance our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying these effects, providing us with a more comprehensive perspective. This article aims to review the mechanism of action, stimulation mode, multimodal application, and precision of TMS.

Abstract
Tumor angiogenesis and cancer stem cells (CSCs) are two major hallmarks of solid tumors. They have long received attention for their critical roles in tumor progression, metastasis and recurrence. Meanwhile, plenty of evidence indicates the close association between CSCs and tumor vasculature. CSCs are proven to promote tumor angiogenesis, and the highly vascularized tumor microenvironment further maintains CSCs growth in return, thereby forming a hard-breaking vicious circle to promote tumor development. Hence, though monotherapy targeting tumor vasculature or CSCs has been extensively studied over the past decades, the poor prognosis has been limiting the clinical application. This review summarizes the crosstalk between tumor vasculature and CSCs with emphasis on small-molecule compounds and the associated biological signaling pathways. We also highlight the importance of linking tumor vessels to CSCs to disrupt the CSCs-angiogenesis vicious circle. More precise treatment regimens targeting tumor vasculature and CSCs are expected to benefit future tumor treatment development.

Abstract
Surface reconstruction of electrocatalysts is very important to clarify the structure-component-activity relationship. In this work, in situ Raman and ex situ technologies are used to capture the surface structure evolution of F-Fe-CoP during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The results reveal that the leaching of F accelerates the dynamic reconstruction response of CoP to rapidly convert into active (oxy)hydroxide species. The further introduction of Fe can accelerate the charge transfer rate and alleviate the structural stacking caused by insufficient kinetics. The introduction of F and Fe increases the electron occupation states of cobalt sites and promotes the adsorption of OH- ions on the CoP catalyst, which significantly improves the OER performance. F-Fe-CoP exhibits excellent OER performance with an overpotential of 259 mV at 20 mA cm-2 . This finding enriches the OER mechanism associated with the surface reconstruction of CoP and provides a reference for the rational design of efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Growing evidence indicates that the epithelial to mesenchymal (E/M) hybrid state plays a key role in tumorigenesis. Importantly, a hybrid mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET) state in which individual cells express both epithelial and mesenchymal markers was recently identified in vivo, further strengthening the bonds between the hybrid EMT state and cancer progression. However, the role and the molecular mechanisms by which the hybrid MET state is maintained in triple-negative breast cancer cells (TNBC) remain elusive. Here, we find that loss of ZHX2 expression results in the hybrid MET phenotype in mesenchymal TNBC cells. Mechanistically, through directly binding to the CDH1 promoter, depletion of ZHX2 specifically reactivates expression of CDH1 encoding E-cadherin, an epithelial marker that is crucial for maintaining epithelial phenotype. Functionally, loss of ZHX2 expression enriches the hybrid MET cells and inhibits the migration and dissemination of TNBC cells or organoids, which could be reversed by restoration of E-cadherin. Moreover, depletion of ZHX2 suppresses lung metastasis in preclinical models of TNBC. In patients with TNBC, ZHX2 expression was amplified and negatively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin. These findings suggest that loss of ZHX2 promotes the hybrid MET state to impair TNBC progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is frequently accompanied by symptoms of nausea, dizziness, fatigue, muscle spasm, and arrhythmia, which can adversely impact the daily lives of patients who undergo hemodialysis and may lead to decreased quality of life (QoL). This study employed the KDQOL™-36 scale to evaluate the impact of frequent IDH, based on the definition determined by predialysis blood pressure (BP) and nadir systolic blood pressure (SBP) thresholds, on the QoL of patients. METHODS This is a single center retrospective cohort study involving 160 hemodialysis patients. We enrolled adult patients with uremia who received routine hemodialysis (4 h/time, 3 times/week) from October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2021. Frequent IDH was defined as an absolute nadir SBP < 90 mmHg occurring in no less than 30% of hemodialysis sessions when predialysis SBP < 159 mmHg (or < 100 mmHg when predialysis BP ≥ 160 mmHg).The differences between patients with and without frequent IDH were compared using the independent t test, Kruskal‒Wallis test, or chi-square test. The primary visit was at month 36, and the remaining visits were exploratory outcomes. RESULTS Compared to patients with infrequent IDH at baseline, those with frequent IDH had significantly lower scores on the symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease dimension at all follow-up points (P < 0.05). The symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease dimension were worse in patients with frequent IDH. Those with frequent IDH had a significantly poorer QoL regarding the dimensions of symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease and the impact of kidney disease on life. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the study suggest an association between frequent IDH and QoL dimensions of symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease and the impact of kidney disease on life dimension under the definition of frequent IDH.

Abstract
Objective To elucidate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Method A total of 24912 thyroid carcinoma patients admitted to the First Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from 2005 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 94 patients (39 males and 55 females, a male-female ratio of 1:1.4) fulfilled the selection criteria. Of these, 73 patients had undergone surgery. The clinical and pathological data were collected from each enrolled patient. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to determine independent prognostic factors. All analyses were performed with the SPSS version 26.0 and R version 1.2.5033 in the R Studio environment. Results The specimens included 20 cases of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma complicated with papillary thyroid carcinoma, 17 cases complicated with follicular thyroid carcinoma, 34 cases complicated with other pathological types and 23 with a separate entity. The patient demonstrated a large age span, median age was 57 years (range 8-85 years, average 55.20 ± 15.74 years). The survival time of the 94 cases was calculated, and the mean Overall survival time was 33 (range, 1-170) months, and the mean Recurrence-free survival time was 14 (range, 1-90) months. Recurrence-free mortality is related to the age at diagnosis, extrathyroidal extension and Associated thyroid cancer (p<0.05). In contrast, overall mortality is related to the age at diagnosis, sex, extrathyroidal extension, T stage (AJCC 8th), surgery and radiation (p<0.05). Conclusion Middle-aged and elderly patients are still at high risk for poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The pathologic results of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma are varied, and reasonable treatment has an important impact on the prognosis of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the expression profile of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and explore their potential mechanism of action. METHODS The gene expression profiles (GSE153555, GSE148219, GSE199718) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and FastQC was run for quality control checks. After filtering and classifying candidate lncRNAs by differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and weighted co-expression networks (WGCNA) in GSE153555, we predicted the potential cis- or trans-regulatory target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) by using FEELnc and established the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network by miRanda, more over functional enrichment was analyzed using the ClusterProfiler package in R Bioconductor. The hub cis- or trans-regulatory genes were verified in GSE148219 and GSE199718 respectively. RESULTS There were 340 up-regulated lncRNAs identified in AS group compared with the control group (|log2Fold Change| ≥ 1.0 and Padj ≤ 0.05), and 460 down-regulated lncRNAs. Based on target gene prediction and co-expression network construction, twelve Long non-coding RNAs (CDKN2B-AS1, AC244453.2, APCDD1L-DT, SLC12A5-AS1, TGFB3, AC243829.4, MIR4435-2HG, FAM225A, BHLHE40-AS1, LINC01614, AL356417.2, LINC01150) were identified as the hub cis- or trans-regulatory genes in the pathogenesis of CAVD which were validated in GSE148219 and GSE19971. Additionally, we found that MIR4435-2HG was the top hub trans-acting lncRNA which also plays a crucial role by ceRNA pattern. CONCLUSION LncRNAs may play an important role in CAVD and may provide a new perspective on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease. Further studies are required to illuminate the underlying mechanisms and provide potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the feasibility of using temporary permanent pacemaker (TPPM) in patients with high-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as bridging strategy to reduce avoidable permanent pacemaker implantation. Methods: This is a prospective observational study. Consecutive patients undergoing TAVR at Beijing Anzhen Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2021 to February 2022 were screened. Patients with high-degree AVB and TPPM were included. Patients were followed up for 4 weeks with pacemaker interrogation at every week. The endpoint was the success rate of TPPM removal and free from permanent pacemaker at 1 month after TPPM. The criteria of removing TPPM was no indication of permanent pacing and no pacing signal in 12 lead electrocardiogram (EGG) and 24 hours dynamic EGG, meanwhile the last pacemaker interrogation indicated that ventricular pacing rate was 0. Routinely follow-up ECG was extended to 6 months after removal of TPPM. Results: Ten patients met the inclusion criteria for TPPM, aged (77.0±11.1) years, wirh 7 females. There were 7 patients with third-degree AVB, 1 patient with second-degree AVB, 2 patients with first degree AVB with PR interval>240 ms and LBBB with QRS duration>150 ms. TPPM were applied on the 10 patients for (35±7) days. Among 8 patients with high-degree AVB, 3 recovered to sinus rhythm, and 3 recovered to sinus rhythm with bundle branch block. The other 2 patients with persistent third-degree AVB received permanent pacemaker implantation. For the 2 patients with first-degree AVB and LBBB, PR interval shortened to within 200 ms. TPPM was successfully removed in 8 patients (8/10) at 1 month without permanent pacemaker implantation, of which 2 patients recovered within 24 hours after TAVR and 6 patients recovered 24 hours later after TAVR. No aggravation of conduction block or permanent pacemaker indication were observed in 8 patients during follow-up at 6 months. No procedure-related adverse events occurred in all patients. Conclusion: TPPM is reliable and safe to provide certain buffer time to distinguish whether a permanent pacemaker is necessary in patients with high-degree conduction block after TAVR.

Abstract
Tuojiang River watershed is an economically developed and densely populated area in Sichuan Province (southwest of China), which is also an important tributary of the Yangtze River. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the main pollutants affecting water quality, but there is still lack of study on the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of these two pollutants. In this study, the typical non-point source pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed are simulated by Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, and the spatial autocorrelation method is used to reveal the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the pollution loads from the annual average and water periods. Combined with redundancy analysis (RDA) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) analysis, the main driving factors affecting the typical non-point source pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed are discussed from the global and local perspectives. The results show that (1) from different water periods, the pollution loads of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in three water periods show obviously different, is the highest in the abundant water period, with 323.4 kg/ha and 47.9 kg/ha, followed by the normal water period, with 95.7 kg/ha and 14.1 kg/ha, and the lowest in the dry water period, with 28.4 kg/ha and 4.2 kg/ha. The annual average value of TN pollution load is higher than that of TP, with 447.5 kg/ha and 66.1 kg/ha, respectively; (2) the TN and TP pollution loads are stable on the whole, and the overall level in the middle reaches is higher. The pollution loads of Shifang City and Mianzhu City are higher in all three water periods. (3) Elevation and slope are two main driving factors affecting the TN and TP pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed. Therefore, the visualization and quantification of temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of typical non-point source pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed are helpful to provide the basis for scientific prevention and control of pollution in the Tuojiang River watershed and are of great significance to promote the sustainable, coordinated, and healthy development of water environment and economy in the watershed.

Abstract
Dam-induced hydrological alterations and eco-environmental impacts have significant implications, however, these concern issues in large floodplain systems are less well understood. The present study shows a first attempt to adopt a quasi-three-dimensional groundwater flow modeling FEFLOW (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system) to investigate the influences of a proposed hydraulic dam on groundwater dynamics in the largest floodplain lake of the Yangtze River basin (Poyang Lake, China). The FEFLOW model was successfully constructed and has the ability to represent the hydrodynamics of floodplain groundwater flow. Model simulations indicate that, in general, the dam is likely to increase the groundwater levels across the floodplain during different hydrological phases. The responses of floodplain groundwater levels to the dam during the dry and recession phases are stronger (∼2-3 m) than the rising and flooding phases (<2 m). Under the natural condition, the floodplain groundwater may recharge the lake during the dry and recession phases, and discharge the lake during the rising and flooding phases. However, the dam regulation may alter the natural recharge-discharge patterns, forming a generally gaining condition of the floodplain groundwater. The proposed dam is most likely to reduce the groundwater flow velocity (∼<1 m/d) relative to the natural condition (up to 2 m/d) during different hydrological phases, and it may also alter the floodplain groundwater flow direction during the dry and recession phases. Additionally, the floodplain groundwater system is mainly characterized by losing state (-4.5 × 106 m3/yr) under the natural condition, while the dam-induced groundwater system exhibits an overall gaining state (9.8 × 106 m3/yr). The current research findings contribute to future water resources assessment and management by providing a foundation for assessing associated eco-environmental changes of the large lake-floodplain system.

Abstract
Amomi fructus is rich in volatile components and valuable as a medicine and edible spice. However, the quality of commercially available A. fructus varies, and issues with mixed sources and adulteration by similar products are common. In addition, due to incomplete identification methods, rapid detection of the purchased A. fructus quality is still an issue. In this study, we developed qualitative and quantitative evaluation models to assess the variety and quality of A. fructus using GC, electronic tongue, and electronic nose to provide a rapid and accurate variety and quality evaluation method of A. fructus. The models performed well; the qualitative authenticity model had an accuracy of 1.00 (n = 64), the accuracy of the qualitative origin model was 0.86 (n = 44), and the quantitative model was optimal on the sensory fusion data from the electronic tongue and electronic nose combined with borneol acetate content, with R 2 = 0.7944, RMSEF = 0.1050, and RMSEP = 0.1349. The electronic tongue and electronic nose combined with GC quickly and accurately evaluated the variety and quality of A. fructus, and the introduction of multi-source information fusion technology improved the model prediction accuracy. This study provides a useful tool for quality evaluation of medicine and food.

Abstract
Background A dynamic artificial intelligence (AI) ultrasonic intelligent assistant diagnosis system (dynamic AI) is a joint application of AI technology and medical imaging, which can conduct real-time synchronous dynamic analysis of nodules from multiple sectional views with different angles. This study explored the diagnostic value of dynamic AI for benign and malignant thyroid nodules in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and its significance in guiding surgical treatment strategies. Methods Data of 487 patients (154 with and 333 without HT) with 829 thyroid nodules who underwent surgery were collected. Differentiation of benign and malignant nodules was performed using dynamic AI, and diagnostic effects (specificity, sensitivity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, accuracy, misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate) was assessed. Differences in diagnostic efficacy were compared among AI, preoperative ultrasound based on the American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS), and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) diagnoses. Results The accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of dynamic AI reached 88.06%, 80.19%, and 90.68%, respectively; besides, there was consistency with postoperative pathological consequences (κ=0.690; P<0.001). The diagnostic efficacy of dynamic AI was equivalent between patients with and without HT, and there were no significant differences in sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, missed diagnosis rate, and misdiagnosis rate. In patients with HT, dynamic AI had significantly higher specificity and a lower misdiagnosis rate than did preoperative ultrasound based on the ACR TI-RADS (P<0.05). Compared with FNAC diagnosis, dynamic AI had a significantly higher sensitivity and a lower missed diagnosis rate (P<0.05). Conclusions Dynamic AI possessed an elevated diagnostic worth of malignant and benign thyroid nodules in patients with HT, which can provide a new method and valuable information for the diagnosis and development of management strategy of patients.

Abstract
Although cytotoxic treatments hold tremendous potential in boosting antitumor immunity, efferocytosis of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) could negatively remove apoptotic tumor cells through LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), resulting in inefficient tumor antigen presentation and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. To address this issue, we developed TAM-targeting nanospores (PC-CW) inspired by the predominant tropism of Rhizopus oryzae toward macrophages. To construct PC-CW, we disguised poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)-coated polyethylenimine (PEI)-shRNA nanocomplexes with the cell wall of R. oryzae conidia. LAP blockade by PC-CW delayed the degradation of engulfed tumor debris within TAMs, which not only enhanced antigen presentation but also initiated the domino effect of the antitumor immune response through STING signaling and TAM repolarization. Benefiting from this, PC-CW successfully sensitized the immune microenvironment and amplified CD8+ T cell responses following chemo-photothermal therapy, leading to substantial tumor growth control and metastasis prevention in tumor-bearing mouse models. The bioengineered nanospores represent a simple and versatile immunomodulatory strategy targeting TAMs for robust antitumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and reliable indicator of insulin resistance, and is associated with the development and poor outcomes of cardiovascular disease. Subclinical left ventricular dysfunction (SLVD) is frequently detected in approximately one-third of diabetes patients, but it has not been established whether the TyG index correlates with SLVD. We carried out this research to evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and SLVD in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional and observational study of 183 type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing, China. The TyG index and homeostasis model assessment 2 estimates for insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR) were calculated from biochemical measurements, and speckle-tracking echocardiography was carried out. According to global longitudinal strain (GLS) by echocardiography, participants were categorized into the SLVD (GLS <18%) group or the non-SLVD (GLS ≥18%) group. RESULTS In comparison with non-SLVD participants, SLVD participants had higher insulin resistance, as reflected by elevated TyG and HOMA2-IR indices, as well as a higher body mass index, waist circumference and triglyceride level (P < 0.05 for each). When grouped by TyG index tertiles, an elevated TyG index was correlated with other cardiometabolic risk factors, as well as a decrease in GLS. In the multivariate logistic regression analyses, the TyG index was an independent risk factor for SLVD in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (odds ratio 2.047, 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.914, P = 0.03), whereas HOMA2-IR was not. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index is independently associated with SLVD in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and is a more reliable indicator of SLVD than HOMA2-IR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) is considered to be the first marker of diabetes mellitus-related subclinical cardiac dysfunction, but whether it is attributable to fat mass and distribution remains uncertain. In this study, we explored whether fat mass, especially fat mass in the android area, is associated with subclinical systolic dysfunction before the onset of cardiac disease. METHODS We conducted a single-center prospective cross-sectional study between November 2021 and August 2022 on inpatients of the Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. We included 150 patients aged 18-70 years with no signs, symptoms, or history of clinical cardiac disease. Patients were evaluated with speckle tracking echocardiography and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The cutoff values for subclinical systolic dysfunction were set at a global longitudinal strain (GLS) < 18%. RESULTS After adjusting for sex and age, patients with GLS < 18% had a higher mean (± standard deviation) fat mass index (8.06 ± 2.39 vs. 7.10 ± 2.09 kg/m2, p = 0.02), higher mean trunk fat mass (14.9 ± 4.9 vs. 12.8 ± 4.3 kg, p = 0.01), and higher android fat mass (2.57 ± 1.02 vs. 2.18 ± 0.86 kg, p = 0.02) than those in the GLS ≥ 18%. Partial correlation analysis showed that the fat mass index, truck fat mass, and android fat mass were negatively correlated with GLS after adjusting for sex and age (all p < 0.05). Adjusted for traditional cardiovascular metabolic factors, fat mass index (odds ratio [OR] 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.55, p = 0.02), trunk fat mass (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.03-1.24, p = 0.01), and android fat mass (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.16-2.82, p = 0.01) were independent risk factors for GLS < 18%. CONCLUSION Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without established clinical cardiac disease, fat mass, especially android fat mass, was associated with subclinical systolic dysfunction independently of age and sex.

Abstract
Objective: T lymphocyte exhaustion is an important component of immune dysfunction. Therefore, exploring peripheral blood-exhausted T lymphocyte features in patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure may provide potential therapeutic target molecules for ACLF immune dysfunction. Methods: Six cases with HBV-ACLF and three healthy controls were selected for T-cell heterogeneity detection using the single-cell RNA sequencing method. In addition, exhausted T lymphocyte subpopulations were screened to analyze their gene expression features, and their developmental trajectories quasi-timing. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the samples between the two groups. Results: Peripheral blood T lymphocytes in HBV-ACLF patients had different differentiation trajectories with different features distinct into eight subpopulations. Among them, the CD4(+)TIGIT(+) subsets (P = 0.007) and CD8(+)LAG3(+) (P = 0.010) subsets with highly exhausted genes were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. Quasi-time analysis showed that CD4(+)TIGIT(+) and CD8(+)LAG3(+) subsets appeared in the late stage of T lymphocyte differentiation, suggesting the transition of T lymphocyte from naïve-effector-exhausted during ACLF pathogenesis. Conclusion: There is heterogeneity in peripheral blood T lymphocyte differentiation in patients with HBV-ACLF, and the number of exhausted T cells featured by CD4(+)TIGIT(+)T cell and CD8(+)LAG3(+) T cell subsets increases significantly, suggesting that T lymphocyte immune exhaustion is involved in the immune dysfunction of HBV-ACLF, thereby identifying potential effective target molecules for improving ACLF patients' immune function.

Abstract
Pumpkin polysaccharides (PPe) exhibit multiple bioactive properties, including the ability to reduce blood sugar and lipids. Our prior investigation discovered that hydrolysates (PPe-s) derived from PPe demonstrated stronger antioxidant capabilities than PPe. The objective of the current study was to explore the potential mechanism of PPe-s, utilizing Caenorhabditis elegans and MIN6 cells as models. The results of this investigation revealed that PPe-s exhibited strong scavenging ability towards ABTS+ and OH·in vitro. Additionally, PPe-s extended the lifespan of C. elegans under hydrogen peroxide stress (p < 0.05) by upregulating the mRNA expression of daf-16, sod-1, sod-3, and skn-1 (all >1.43-fold, p < 0.05). Furthermore, PPe-s enhanced the proliferation activity of MIN6 cells, induced by alloxan, increased insulin secretion and cAMP levels, and excreted intracellular excessive Ca2+ in a concentration-dependent manner. Our study demonstrated that PPe-s upregulated the expression levels of antioxidative-related genes and augmented the antioxidant defense system.

Abstract
Hordenine, a phenethylamine alkaloid, is found in a variety of plants and exhibits a broad array of biological activities and pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects. However, the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of hordenine in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) remain unclear. To address this, we examined the therapeutic effects of hordenine on dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced UC by comparing disease activity index (DAI), colon length, secretion of inflammatory factors, and degree of colonic histological lesions across diseased mice that were and were not treated with hordenine. We found that hordenine significantly reduced DAI and levels of pro-inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and also alleviated colon tissue oedema, colonic lesions, inflammatory cells infiltration and decreased the number of goblet cells. Moreover, in vitro experiments showed that hordenine protected intestinal epithelial barrier function by increasing the expression of tight junction proteins including ZO-1 and occludin, while also promoting the healing of intestinal mucosa. Using immunohistochemistry and western blotting, we demonstrated that hordenine reduced the expression of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), and ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), and it inhibited the expression of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in colon tissues. Thus, hordenine appears to be effective in UC treatment owing to pharmacological mechanisms that favor mucosal healing and the inhibition of SPHK-1/S1PR1/STAT3 signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND FBXL8 is a conserved F-box protein, belonging to the ubiquitin ligase complex, which promotes the development and progression of tumours. However, the regulation function and mechanism of FBXL8's involvement in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unclear. METHODS RT-PCR is used to detect gene expression levels. Protein levels were determined by western blotting and flow cytometry. The bindings of FBXL8 and p53 and ubiquitination levels were detected by cell transfection and immunoprecipitation. The transwell assay was used to measure the ability of cells to migrate and invade. Animal studies were used to verify the function of FBXL8 in vivo. RESULTS The expression of FBXL8 was up-regulated in CRC tissues, and its overexpression was associated with poor prognosis in CRC patients. The up-regulation of FBXL8 promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC tumour cells and maintained the stem-cell characteristics of colorectal tumour cells. Further analysis demonstrated that FBXL8 targeted p53 and reduced its stability through ubiquitination. Knockout of FBXL8 down-regulated the proliferation, migration and stem-like properties of tumour cells. CRC mouse xenograft tumour model confirmed that FBXL8 gene knockout inhibited tumour formation and liver metastasis. CONCLUSION FBXL8 was highly expressed in CRC. Mechanism studies have shown that FBXL8 degraded tumour suppressor gene p53 by ubiquitination. FBXL8 knockout inhibited the proliferation and stem characteristics of CRC cells, so SCF-FBXL8-TP53 has potential to be used as a therapeutic target for CRC in subsequent studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNA-29a-3p has been reported in a variety of cancers, but its role in hypopharyngeal cancer remains unclear. This study was to determine the role of microRNA-29a-3p in the occurrence and development of hypopharyngeal cancer. METHODS 40 patients with hypopharyngeal cancer who underwent surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from April 2013 to November 2017 were selected for this study. The cancer tissue samples of the patients were collected, and the patients were followed up for three years. The expression of microRNA-29a-3p in tissue samples was detected by in situ hybridization with fluorescent probe, and the relationships among microRNA-29a-3p and clinicopathological factors, postoperative recurrent-metastasis, survival time were studied. Immunohistochemical was used to detect the expression of Ki67 and E-cadherin in tissue samples. RESULTS Combined with HE staining results showed that microRNA-29a-3p expression was relatively high in non-cancer tissue cells (red blood cells and fibroblasts in tumor interstitial vessels), but was relatively low in cancer tissue and cells. According to the follow-up data of 40 patients with hypopharyngeal cancer, tumor size, T-stage, tumor differentiation, postoperative recurrent-metastasis of hypopharyngeal cancer patients were significantly negatively correlated with microRNA-29a-3p (p < 0.05). Immunohistochemica results further confirmed that microRNA-29a-3p was negatively correlated with the expression of Ki67 and E-cadherin. The survival time of patients positively related with microRNA-29a-3p expression (p < 0.05). Moreover, ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of the combined detection of miRNA-29a-3p+Ki67+E-cadherin was larger than that of the single detection of the three indexes. CONCLUSIONS The expression of microRNA-29a-3p is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of hypopharyngeal cancer, and it affects the proliferation and invasion. This indicates that microRNA-29a-3p serves as a therapeutic target for the occurrence and development of hypopharyngeal cancer. The evidence of study designs of this study is IV using "Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 Levels of Evidence".

Abstract
The clinical impact of any therapy requires the product be safe and effective. Gammaretroviral vectors pose several unique risks, including inadvertent exposure to replication competent retrovirus (RCR) that can arise during vector manufacture. The US FDA has required patient monitoring for RCR, and the National Gene Vector Biorepository is an NIH resource that has assisted eligible investigators in meeting this requirement. To date, we have found no evidence of RCR in 338 pre-treatment and 1,595 post-treatment blood samples from 737 patients associated with 60 clinical trials. Most samples (75%) were obtained within 1 year of treatment, and samples as far out as 9 years after treatment were analyzed. The majority of trials (93%) were cancer immunotherapy, and 90% of the trials used vector products produced with the PG13 packaging cell line. The data presented here provide further evidence that current manufacturing methods generate RCR-free products and support the overall safety profile of retroviral gene therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the kidney function after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) has gradually become a hot spot that arouse extensive attention.Our study is aimed to evaluate the incidence and predictors of acute kidney recovery (AKR) after TAVR. METHODS A total of 102 patients undergoing TAVR in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from June 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled in our study. Patients were divided into AKR group (n = 54), unchanged group (n = 40) and acute kidney injury (AKI) group (n = 8) based on the percent change of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences in general clinical characteristics and other related indicators between the three groups to analyze the risk factors of AKR. RESULTS The incidence of AKR was 53% (54/102) after TAVR. Multivariate analysis showed that the incidence of age and proportion of severe NYHA class (III or IV) was significantly higher in the AKR group while renal dysfunction (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) was lower. Besides, fluid management/volume therapy was significantly different among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS AKR is a generalizable phenomenon occurring frequently after TAVR. The age, proportion of severe NYHA class and the baseline renal function are independent predictors of AKR events in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age-associated sarcopenia is characterized of progressed loss of skeletal muscle power, mass, and function, which affects human physical activity and life quality. Besides, accompanied with sarcopenia, aged population also faces a series of metabolic dysfunctions. Irisin, the cleaved form of fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), is a myokine induced by exercise and has been shown to exert multiple beneficial effects on health. The goal of the study is to investigate the alterations of Fndc5/irisin in skeletal muscles during ageing and whether irisin administration could ameliorate age-associated sarcopenia and metabolic dysfunction. METHODS The mRNA and protein levels of FNDC5/irisin in skeletal muscle and serum from 2- and 24-month-old mice or human subjects were analysed using qRT-PCR and western blot. FNDC5/irisin knockout mice were generated to investigate the consequences of FNDC5/irisin deletion on skeletal muscle mass, as well as morphological and molecular changes in muscle during ageing via histological and molecular analysis. To identify the therapeutic effects of chronic irisin treatment in mice during ageing, in vivo intraperitoneal administration of 2 mg/kg recombinant irisin was performed three times per week in ageing mice (14-month-old) for 4 months or in aged mice (22-month-old) for 1 month to systematically investigate irisin's effects on age-associated sarcopenia and metabolic performances, including grip strength, body weights, body composition, insulin sensitivity, energy expenditure, serum parameters and phenotypical and molecular changes in fat and liver. RESULTS We showed that the expression levels of irisin, as well as its precursor Fndc5, were reduced at mRNA and protein expression levels in muscle during ageing. In addition, via phenotypic analysis of FNDC5/irisin knockout mice, we found that FNDC5/irisin deficiency in aged mice exhibited aggravated muscle atrophy including smaller grip strength (-3.23%, P < 0.05), muscle weights (quadriceps femoris [QU]: -20.05%; gastrocnemius [GAS]: -17.91%; tibialis anterior [TA]: -19.51%, all P < 0.05), fibre size (QU: P < 0.01) and worse molecular phenotypes compared with wild-type mice. We then delivered recombinant irisin protein intraperitoneally into ageing or aged mice and found that it could improve sarcopenia with grip strength (+18.42%, P < 0.01 or +13.88%, P < 0.01), muscle weights (QU: +9.02%, P < 0.01 or +16.39%, P < 0.05), fibre size (QU: both P < 0.05) and molecular phenotypes and alleviated age-associated fat tissues expansion, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis (all P < 0.05), accompanied with altered gene signatures. CONCLUSIONS Together, this study revealed the importance of irisin in the maintenance of muscle physiology and systematic energy homeostasis during ageing and suggested a potent therapeutic strategy against age-associated metabolic diseases via irisin administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an acute eye disease that seriously damages vision. Patients with CRAO often have a combination of various cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs), and CRAO patients often ignore their cardio-cerebrovascular disorders because of their ocular symptoms. In addition, there are few reports about CRAO patients with CCVDs received effective interventions implemented. We report the diagnosis and treatment of a Chinese CRAO patient with CCVD who received timely multidisciplinary interventional therapy to provide ideas for clinical ophthalmologists in the diagnosis and treatment of similar diseases. CASE DESCRIPTION A 76-year-old male patient, who had previously been diagnosed with hypertension, was admitted to hospital due to a sudden decrease in vision in his right eye for >2 days with a severe headache. After fundus photography, he was diagnosed with CRAO in the right eye. His cerebral angiography revealed multiple stenoses at arteries of his neck and brain included the right ophthalmic artery. Neurosurgery was attempted to perform a thrombolysis of the right ophthalmic artery while performing the angiography, but failed to find the opening of the right ophthalmic artery. However, through electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring during the operation, we found that the patient had frequent ventricular premature beats, so the Department of Cardiology performed coronary arteriography for him which revealed severe stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. The cardiologists performed a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the same time as the coronary angiography. Some 2 months later, the patient was admitted to the Neurosurgery Department to implant stent at the left vertebral artery. After stent implantation, his headache symptom improved significantly and his right eye vision improved. CONCLUSIONS Through timely cerebral angiography and ophthalmic examinations, the patient was diagnosed with CRAO combined with CCVD, and after received multidisciplinary interventional therapy, the patient's right eye vision and headache symptom improved and more severe cardio-cerebrovascular adverse events were avoided. In treating CRAO patients, in addition to aggressive eye treatment, the systemic cardio-cerebrovascular situation of each patient should also be assessed, a timely diagnosis made, and effective interventions implemented to reduce morbidity- and mortality-related cardio-cerebrovascular events.

Abstract
Background Limited data exist on the use of temporary permanent pacemaker (TPPM) to reduce unnecessary PPM in patients with high-degree atrioventricular block (HAVB) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Objectives This study aims to determine the feasibility of TPPM in patients with HAVB after TAVR to provide prolonged pacing as a bridge. Materials and methods One hundred and eleven consecutive patients undergoing TAVR were screened from August 2021 to June 2022. Patients with HAVB eligible for PPM were included. TPPM were used in these patients instead of conventional temporary pacing or early PPM. Patients were followed up for 1 month. Holter and pacemaker interrogation were used to determine whether to implant PPM. Results Twenty one patients met the inclusion criteria for TPPM, of which 14 patients were third-degree AVB, 1 patient was second-degree AVB, 6 patients were first degree AVB with PR interval > 240 ms and LBBB with QRS duration > 150 ms. TPPM were placed on the 21 patients for 35 ± 7 days. Among 15 patients with HAVB, 26.7% of them (n = 4) recovered to sinus rhythm; 46.7% (n = 7) recovered to sinus rhythm with bundle branch block. The remains of 26.7% patients (n = 4) still had third-degree AVB and received PPM. For patients with first-degree AVB and LBBB, PR interval shortened to < 200 ms in all 6 patients and LBBB recovered in 2 patients. TPPM were successfully removed from all patients and no procedure-related adverse events occurred. Conclusion TPPM is reliable and safe in the small sample of patients with conduction block after TAVR to provide certain buffer time to distinguish whether a PPM is necessary. Future studies with larger sample are needed for further validation of the current results.

Abstract
Traditional method of estimating pollution loads may neglect the internal spatial heterogeneity of socio-economic driving factors, which can result in overestimate and underestimate of pollution loads. In this study, the corrected approach to estimating total phosphorus (TP) pollution load was proposed to explore its future variation to develop effective phosphorus pollution control strategies for water environment management. As the first-class tributary of the Yangtze River, the TP out of limits in the Tuojiang River is serious. Thus, based on the presently related basic datasets related to TP pollution load estimation, we firstly adopted the GM (1,1) model to predict their varied trends from 2021 to 2025. We then used the pollution emission coefficient method to calculate the TP pollution load. Moreover, considering the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of the pollutant generation coefficient, we further introduced population and GDP factors to further modify the pollutant generation coefficient to correct TP pollution load. Finally, we employed the exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) method to explore spatial distribution characteristics and spatial autocorrelation of TP pollution load from diverse pollution sources in 2025. The results showed that the total TP pollution load from diverse pollution sources will increase from 12,194.92 t in 2021 to 12,461.26 t in 2025, an increase of 2.18%. More concretely, the TP pollution load from rural domestic sewage, rural domestic waste and livestock, and poultry pollution sources will separately decrease by 94.24 t, 77.9 t, and 86.52 t. However, the TP pollution load from agricultural runoff and agricultural solid wastes pollution sources will increase by 74.52 t and 451.49 t, respectively. The contribution of TP pollution load from diverse pollution sources to total TP pollution load will be as follows: livestock and poultry (63.49%) > agricultural solid wastes (16.72%) > agricultural runoff (12.26%) > rural domestic sewage (4.12%) > rural domestic waste (3.41%). The difference in the spatial distribution of TP pollution load from diverse pollution sources in 2025 will be prominent. TP pollution from rural domestic sewage and rural domestic waste pollution sources is more serious in the Xindu and Longquanyi districts, and that from agricultural runoff and agricultural solid wastes pollution sources is more prominent in the midstream and downstream. TP pollution load from livestock and poultry pollution source is higher in the Renshou, Anyue, Rongxian, Luxian counties, and Jiangyang district. Additionally, TP pollution load from rural domestic sewage, rural domestic waste, agricultural runoff, and agricultural solid wastes pollution sources in 2025 will show a clear spatial correlation, but the spatial correlation of TP pollution load from livestock and poultry pollution source will be weak. The study is effective to eliminate the influence of temporal and spatial variation of pollutants generates coefficients on TP pollution load estimation. The method can reflect the actual condition of pollution loads in watersheds more objectively, which can be applied to estimate other pollution loads of similar watersheds with intensive socio-economic activities. The findings in this study can provide a critical reference for the stakeholders to balance water environment conservation and socio-economic development.

Abstract
Objective The disclosure of mental illness is a first and crucial step in alleviating stigma and promoting mental recovery. However, at present, there is a lack of research on this subject in the Chinese context. Therefore, we conducted this survey among patients with mental illness and their family members and analyzed the influencing factors. Methods Questionnaires were distributed to qualified patients with mental illness and their family members, who were enrolled from the inpatient departments of two major mental health centers in China. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the factors affecting the disclosure of disease information by patients with mental illness and their family members. Results A total of 153 patients and 159 family members were included. The percentages of patients and family members who intended to disclose disease information were 34.6 and 18.2%, respectively. Regarding the benefits of being out (BBO), marital status and the number of hospitalizations explained 13.1% of the variance, and stigma explained 4.3% of the variance. Regarding the reasons for staying in (RSI), marital status and family history of mental illness explained 14.4% of the variance, and stigma explained 14.8% of the variance. In the model predicting the influencing factors of family member disclosure, stigma was a predictor of both BBO and RSI, explaining 8.1 and 8.7% of the variance, respectively. Conclusion Both patients and their families were more reluctant than willing to disclose. Marital status, number of hospitalizations and family history of mental illness were all influencing factors of patients' intentions to disclose disease information. Stigma is closely related to disclosure intention and plays an important role in the disclosure intentions of patients and their families. This suggests that the disclosure of disease information is complex, and many factors need to be considered. Disclosure guidelines should be tailored to individuals.

Abstract
Background Clinical values of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in patients with severe pneumonia remain controversial. Therefore, we conduct this meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of mNGS for pathogen detection and its role in the prognosis of severe pneumonia. Methods We systematically searched the literature published in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Clinical Trials.gov, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and CBM from the inception to the 28th September 2022. Relevant trials comparing mNGS with conventional methods applied to patients with severe pneumonia were included. The primary outcomes of this study were the pathogen-positive rate, the 28-day mortality, and the 90-day mortality; secondary outcomes included the duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of hospital stay, and the length of stay in the ICU. Results Totally, 24 publications with 3220 patients met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study. Compared with conventional methods (45.78%, 705/1540), mNGS (80.48%, 1233/1532) significantly increased the positive rate of pathogen detection [OR = 6.81, 95% CI (4.59, 10.11, P < 0.001]. The pooled 28-day and 90-day mortality in mNGS group were 15.08% (38/252) and 22.36% (36/161), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in conventional methods group 33.05% (117/354) [OR = 0.35, 95% CI (0.23, 0.55), P < 0.001, I2 = 0%] and 43.43%(109/251) [OR = 0.34, 95% CI (0.21, 0.54), P < 0.001]. Meanwhile, adjusted treatment based on the results of mNGS shortened the length of hospital stay [MD = -2.76, 95% CI (- 3.56, - 1.96), P < 0.001] and the length of stay in ICU [MD = -4.11, 95% CI (- 5.35, - 2.87), P < 0.001]. Conclusion The pathogen detection positive rate of mNGS was much higher than that of conventional methods. Adjusted treatment based on mNGS results can reduce the 28-day and 90-day mortality of patients with severe pneumonia, and shorten the length of hospital and ICU stay. Therefore, mNGS advised to be applied to severe pneumonia patients as early as possible in addition to conventional methods to improve the prognosis and reduce the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
This paper focuses on determining the authenticity and identifying the species of Fritillariae cirrhosae using electronic nose, electronic tongue, and electronic eye sensors, near infrared and mid-level data fusion. 80 batches of Fritillariae cirrhosae and its counterfeits (including several batches of Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K.C. Hsia, Fritillaria przewalskii Maxim, Fritillaria delavayi Franch and Fritillaria ussuriensis Maxim) were initially identified by Chinese medicine specialists and by criteria in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. After obtaining the information from several sensors we constructed single-source PLS-DA models for authenticity identification and single-source PCA-DA models for species identification. We selected variables of interest by VIP value and Wilk's lambda value, and we subsequently constructed the three-source fusion model of intelligent senses and the four-source fusion model of intelligent senses and near-infrared spectroscopy. We then explained and analyzed the four-source fusion models based on the sensitive substances detected by key sensors. The accuracies of single-source authenticity PLS-DA identification models based on electronic nose, electronic eye, electronic tongue sensors and near-infrared were respectively 96.25%, 91.25%, 97.50% and 97.50%. The accuracies of single-source PCA-DA species identification models were respectively 85%, 71.25%, 97.50% and 97.50%. After three-source data fusion, the accuracy of the authenticity identification of the PLS-DA identification model was 97.50% and the accuracy of the species identification of the PCA-DA model was 95%. After four-source data fusion, the accuracy of the authenticity of the PLS-DA identification model was 98.75% and the accuracy of the species identification of the PCA-DA model was 97.50%. In terms of authenticity identification, four-source data fusion can improve the performance of the model, while for the identification of the species the four-source data fusion failed to optimize the performance of the model. We conclude that electronic nose, electronic tongue, electronic eye data and near-infrared spectroscopy combined with data fusion and chemometrics methods can identify the authenticity and determine the species of Fritillariae cirrhosae. Our model explanation and analysis can help other researchers identify key quality factors for sample identification. This study aims to provide a reference method for the quality evaluation of Chinese herbs.

Abstract
This paper reports the effects of solvents on the dissolution rate and antioxidant capacity of Auricularia auricula polysaccharides (AAPs). The ultra-low temperature combined with microwave extraction (UME) was used to compare the dissolution rates and molecular weights of AAPs using deionized water and deep eutectic solvents (DES) as solvents, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the effects of water extract (AAPs-FW) and DES extract (AAPs-FD) on the cell wall of A. auricula. The antioxidant capacity of polysaccharide extracts in vitro was assessed by using various methods (DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radicals). In addition, in vivo oxidative stress was assessed using Caenorhabditis elegans models. The extract yield of AAPs varied among the extracts and was 19.58% ± 0.56% in AAPs-FW. Whereas DES-UME increased the yield of polysaccharides (AAPs-FD) by 9.81% in the extraction medium containing triethylene glycol-choline chloride, under the optimum conditions of 60 min freezing time, 350 W, and 90 s microwave time. The microstructure of the cell wall shown by SEM was consistent with the results of polysaccharide yields. The molecular weights of AAPs-FW and AAPs-FD were found to be 398.107 kDa and 89.099 kDa, respectively. The results demonstrated that AAPs-FD exhibited potent radical scavenging activity against DPPH and a weaker scavenging ability for ABTS and OH radicals compared to AAPs-FW. In addition, both polysaccharide extracts increased the survival rate of C. elegans under methyl viologen induced oxidative stress at specific concentrations (p < 0.05), and the antioxidant capacity of AAPs-FD was higher than that of AAPs-FW at low concentrations (0.125 mg/mL). This indicated that both polysaccharides had a protective effect against damage induced by intracellular free radical generators (methyl viologen).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In our previous taste-masking study, we found that Acesulfame K (AK) had a better taste-masking effect than other high-efficiency sweeteners for several representative bitter natural drugs in aqueous decoction. Furthermore, we performed a preliminary taste-masking study of AK for representative bitter API Berberine Hydrochloride (BH) and found that it had a good taste-masking effect. We also found that flocculent precipitation was generated in the BH solution, but it was not clear whether it was related to the good taste-masking effect. This study was conducted to explore the taste-masking effect and mechanism of AK on BH. METHODS The taste-masking effect of AK on BH was evaluated based on the Traditional Human Taste Panel Method and the electronic tongue evaluation method. DSC, XRD, and molecular simulation techniques were used to explore the mechanism of AK on BH, from the macro level and molecular level, respectively. RESULTS When evaluating the taste-masking effect, we found that 0.1% AK had the best taste-masking effect on BH, while higher concentrations had a worse taste-masking effect. DSC and XRD revealed that the flocculent precipitation was a complex AK-BH. Finally, by simulating the binding of AK, BH, and TAS2R46 receptors, we found the unique taste-masking mechanism of AK. CONCLUSION The sweet taste stimulus of AK can mask the bitter taste stimulus of BH, and AK can generate AK-BH with BH to reduce the contact between BH and bitter taste receptors. Additionally, it could block the expression of the TAS2R46 receptors.

Abstract
The accumulation of excessively high manganese levels within the brain can contribute to a series of Parkinsonian symptoms referred to as manganism. The gasoline antiknock additive Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (MMT) is an environmental source of manganese exposure and can induce manganism in rats. While some prior reports have demonstrated the differential expression of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), the degree of sncRNA dysfunction in manganism has yet to be clearly documented. As sncRNAs such as transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and ribosomal RNA-derived small RNAs (rsRNAs) exhibit high levels of modifications such as 3' terminal 3'-phosphate and 2',3'-cyclic phosphate modifications that disrupt the process of adapter ligation and m1A, m3C, m1G, and m22G RNA methylation, these transcripts are not detected in traditional small RNA-sequencing studies. Here, differential sncRNA expression was analyzed by comparing a rat model of MMT-induced unrepaired striatum damage to appropriate control samples via PANDORA-Seq, which can detect highly modified sncRNAs. Following the removal of sncRNA modifications, this approach identified 599 sncRNAs that were differentially expressed in the striatum of MMT-exposed rats relative to controls, as well as 1155 sncRNAs that were differentially expressed in Mn-treated and control rats. Additional functional analyses were performed to predict the putative targets of these sncRNAs, implicating a role for such sncRNA dysregulation in the pathogenesis of manganism in this rat model system.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic noncommunicable disease, which is related to lifestyle, environmental and other factors. The main disease of diabetes is the pancreas. Inflammation, oxidative stress and other factors can interfere with the conduction of various cell signaling pathways, thus inducing pancreatic tissue lesions and diabetes. Precision medicine covers epidemiology, preventive medicine, rehabilitation medicine and clinical medicine. On the basis of precision medicine big data analysis, this paper takes pancreas as the target to analyze the signal pathway of diabetes treatment. This paper analyzes from the five aspects of the age structure of diabetes, the blood sugar control standard of type 2 elderly diabetes mellitus, the changes in the number of diabetic patients, the ratio of patients using pancreatic species and the changes in blood sugar using the pancreas. The results of the study showed that targeted pancreatic therapy for diabetes reduced the diabetic blood glucose rate by approximately 6.94%.

Abstract
Quercetin, a flavonoid that is present in vegetables and fruits, has been found to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanism by which it inhibits colitis is uncertain. This study aimed to explore the effect and pharmacological mechanism of quercetin on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC). Mice were given a 4% (w/v) DSS solution to drink for 7 days, followed by regular water for the following 5 days. Pharmacological mechanisms were predicted by network pharmacology. High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to detect changes in the intestinal microbiota composition. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blotting were performed to examine the anti-inflammatory role of quercetin in the colon. Quercetin attenuated DSS-induced body weight loss, colon length shortening, and pathological damage to the colon. Quercetin administration modulated the composition of the intestinal microbiota in DSS-induced mice and inhibited the growth of harmful bacteria. Network pharmacology revealed that quercetin target genes were enriched in inflammatory and neoplastic processes. Quercetin dramatically inhibited the expression of phosphorylated protein kinase B (AKT) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Quercetin has a role in the treatment of UC, with pharmacological mechanisms that involve regulation of the intestinal microbiota, re-establishment of healthy microbiomes that favor mucosal healing, and the inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aimed to describe the aortic valve morphology in Chinese patients underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS), and the impact of sizing strategies and related procedural outcomes. METHODS Patients with severe AS who underwent TAVR were consecutively enrolled from 2012 to 2019. The anatomy and morphology of the aortic root were assessed. "Downsize" strategy was preformed when patients had complex morphology. The clinical outcomes of patients who performed downsize strategy were compared with those received annular sizing strategy. The primary outcome was device success rate, and secondary outcomes included Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 clinical outcomes variables based on 1-year follow-up. RESULTS A total of 293 patients were enrolled. Among them, 95 patients (32.4%) had bicuspid aortic valve. The calcium volume (Hounsfield Unit-850) of aortic root was 449.90 (243.15-782.15) mm 3 . Calcium is distributed mostly on the leaflet level. Downsize strategy was performed in 204 patients (69.6%). Compared with the patients who performed annular sizing strategy, those received downsize strategy achieved a similar device success rate (82.0% [73] vs . 83.3% [170], P = 0.79). Aortic valve gradients (downsize strategy group vs . annular sizing group, 11.28 mmHg vs. 11.88 mmHg, P = 0.64) and percentages of patients with moderate or severe paravalvular regurgitation 2.0% (4/204) vs . 4.5% (4/89), P = 0.21) were similar in the two groups at 30 days after TAVR. These echocardiographic results were sustainable for one year. CONCLUSIONS Chinese TAVR patients have more prevalent bicuspid morphology and large calcium volume of aortic root. Calcium is distributed mostly on the leaflet level. Compare with annular sizing strategy, downsize strategy provided a non-inferior device success rate and transcatheter heart valve hemodynamic performance in self-expanding TAVR procedure.

Abstract
Background: During the perioperative period of pediatric surgery, it is extremely stressful for children and parents to enter the operating room and receive the anesthesia induction. This study was designed to evaluate the perioperative outcomes with parental presence at induction of anesthesia (PPIA), intranasal dexmedetomidine, and combined use of PPIA and intranasal dexmedetomidine. Methods: In this prospective study, 124 children were randomly divided into four groups: control (no parental presence or intranasal dexmedetomidine), PPIA (parental presence), DEX (intranasal dexmedetomidine (1.0 μg/kg)), and PPIA + DEX (parental presence and intranasal dexmedetomidine (1.0 μg/kg)). The anxiety of children was mainly evaluated by the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale-Short Form (mYPAS-SF). Secondary evaluation methods were, for example, the Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC), the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED), the COMFORT Behavior Scale (COMFORT-B Scale), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results: Children in the PPIA + DEX group exhibited significantly lower mYPAS-SF and ICC scores compared with all three other groups (p < 0.001), and children in that group exhibited significantly lower mYPAS-SF and ICC scores compared with the PPIA and DEX groups (p < 0.05). The children's PAED scores in the PPIA, DEX, and PPIA + DEX groups were significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.001).The STAI-S scores of the PPIA, DEX, and PPIA + DEX groups were significantly lower than the score of the control group (p < 0.001). The VAS scores of the PPIA, DEX, and PPIA + DEX groups were significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.001), while the score of the PPIA + DEX group was significantly higher than those of the PPIA and DEX groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The combined use of PPIA and intranasal dexmedetomidine is more effective than PPIA or intranasal dexmedetomidine for alleviating the preoperative anxiety of children, improving children's induction compliance and parental satisfaction.
