Abstract
The antiviral activity of interferon gamma (IFNγ) against hepatitis B virus (HBV) was demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro in a previous study. IFNγ can suppress HBV replication by accelerating the decay of replication-competent nucleocapsids of HBV. However, in this study, we found that the direct application of the mouse IFNγ (mIFNγ) expression plasmid to the liver of an HBV hydrodynamic injection (HI) mouse model led to the persistence of HBV, as indicated by sustained HBsAg and HBeAg levels in the serum as well as an increased percentage of the HBsAg positive mice, whereas the level of HBV DNA in the serum and the expression of HBcAg in the liver were inhibited at the early stage after HI. Meanwhile, we found that the productions of both HBcAb and HBsAb were suppressed after the application of mIFNγ. In addition, we found that HBV could be effectively inhibited in mice immunized with HBsAg expression plasmid before the application of mIFNγ. Furthermore, mIFNγ showed antiviral effect and promoted the production of HBsAb when the mice subjected to the core-null HBV plasmid. These results indicate that the application of mIFNγ in the HBV HI mouse model, the mice showed defective HBcAg-specific immunity that impeded the production of HBcAb and HBsAb, finally allowing the persistence of the virus. Moreover, IFNγ-induced negative immune regulatory factors also play an important role in virus persistence.

Abstract
Optical and acoustic tweezers, despite operating on different physical principles, offer non-contact manipulation of microscopic and mesoscopic objects, making them essential in fields like cell biology, medicine, and nanotechnology. The advantages and limitations of optical and acoustic manipulation complement each other, particularly in terms of trapping size, force intensity, and flexibility. We use photoacoustic effects to generate localized Lamb wave fields capable of mapping arbitrary laser pattern shapes. By using localized Lamb waves to vibrate the surface of the multilayer membrane, we can pattern tens of thousands of microscopic particles into the desired pattern simultaneously. Moreover, by quickly and successively adjusting the laser shape, microparticles flow dynamically along the corresponding elastic wave fields, creating a frame-by-frame animation. Our approach merges the programmable adaptability of optical tweezers with the potent manipulation capabilities of acoustic waves, paving the way for wave-based manipulation techniques, such as microparticle assembly, biological synthesis, and microsystems.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a common feature in various neurological disorders. Understanding neuroinflammation and neuro-immune interactions is of significant importance. However, the intercellular interactions in the inflammatory model are intricate. Microfluidic chips, with their complex micrometer-scale structures and real-time observation capabilities, offer unique advantages in tackling these complexities compared to other techniques. In this study, microfluidic chip technology was used to construct a microarray physical barrier structure with 15 μm spacing, providing well-defined cell growth areas and clearly delineated interaction channels. Moreover, an innovative hydrophilic treatment process on the glass surface facilitated long-term co-culture of cells. The developed neuroinflammation model on the chip revealed that SH-SY5Y cytotoxicity was predominantly influenced by co-cultured THP-1 cells. The co-culture model fostered complex interactions that may exacerbate cytotoxicity, including irregular morphological changes of cells, cell viability reduction, THP-1 cell migration, and the release of inflammatory factors. The integration of the combinatorial cell-cell interaction chip not only offers a clear imaging detection platform but also provides diverse data on cell migration distance, migration direction, and migration angle. Furthermore, the designed ample space for cell culture, along with microscale channels with fluid characteristics, allow for the study of inflammatory factor distribution patterns on the chip, offering vital theoretical data on biological relevance that conventional experiments cannot achieve. The fabricated user-friendly, reusable, and durable co-culture chip serves as a valuable in vitro tool, providing an intuitive platform for gaining insights into the complex mechanisms underlying neuroinflammation and other interacting models.

Abstract
DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) arise from enzymatic intermediates, metabolism or chemicals like chemotherapeutics. DPCs are highly cytotoxic as they impede DNA-based processes such as replication, which is counteracted through proteolysis-mediated DPC removal by spartan (SPRTN) or the proteasome. However, whether DPCs affect transcription and how transcription-blocking DPCs are repaired remains largely unknown. Here we show that DPCs severely impede RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription and are preferentially repaired in active genes by transcription-coupled DPC (TC-DPC) repair. TC-DPC repair is initiated by recruiting the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) factors CSB and CSA to DPC-stalled RNA polymerase II. CSA and CSB are indispensable for TC-DPC repair; however, the downstream TC-NER factors UVSSA and XPA are not, a result indicative of a non-canonical TC-NER mechanism. TC-DPC repair functions independently of SPRTN but is mediated by the ubiquitin ligase CRL4CSA and the proteasome. Thus, DPCs in genes are preferentially repaired in a transcription-coupled manner to facilitate unperturbed transcription.

Abstract
Identifying genetic markers of economically valuable traits has practical benefits for the meat goat industry. To better understand the genomic variations influencing body conformation traits, a genome-wide association study was performed on Tashi goats, an indigenous Chinese goat breed. A total of 155 Tashi goats were phenotyped for eight body conformation traits: body height, body length, chest depth, chest width, chest girth, rump width, rump height, and cannon bone circumference. Then, 100 Tashi goats were randomly selected for whole-genome sequencing and genotyped. We obtained 1676.4 Gb of raw data with an average sequencing depth of 6.2X. Clean reads were aligned to the ARS1.2 reference genome, and 11,257,923 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. The structure analysis showed that these Tashi goats were almost not genetically related. The 109, 20, 52, 14, 62, 51, 70, and 7 SNPs were significantly associated with body height, body length, chest depth, chest width, chest girth, rump width, rump height, and cannon bone circumference. Within the ±500 kb region of significant SNPs, 183 genes were annotated. The most significantly enriched KEGG pathway was "olfactory transduction", and the most significantly enriched gene ontology (GO) terms were "cellular process", "cellular anatomical entity", and "molecular transducer activity". Interestingly, we found several SNPs on chromosomes 10 and 11 that have been identified multiple times for all eight body conformation traits located in two fragments (114 kb and 1.03 Mb). In chr.10:25988403-26102739, the six SNPs were tightly linked, the TACTAG genotype was the highest at 91.8%, and the FNTB (Farnesyltransferase, CAAX Box Beta) and CHURC1 (Churchill Domain Containing 1) genes were located. In chr.11:88216493-89250659, ten SNPs were identified with several dependent linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks, and seven related genes were annotated, but no significant SNP was located in them. Our results provide valuable biological information for improving growth performance with practical applications for genomic selection in goats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is well acknowledged that tobacco-derived lung carcinogens can induce lung injury and even lung cancer through a complex mechanism. MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) are differentially expressed in tobacco-derived carcinogen nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK)-treated A/J mice. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH RNA sequencing was used to detect the level of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Murine and human lung normal and cancer cells were used to evaluate the function of lncRNA XIST and miR-328-3p in vitro, and NNK-treated A/J mice were used to test their function in vivo. In vivo levels of miR-328-3p and lncRNA XIST were analysed, using in situ hybridization. miR-328-3p agomir and lncRNA XIST-specific siRNA were used to manipulate in vivo levels of miR-328-3p and lncRNA XIST in A/J mice. KEY RESULTS LncRNA XIST was up-regulated in NNK-induced lung injury and dominated the NNK-induced ectopic miRNA expression in NNK-induced lung injury both in vitro and in vivo. Either lncRNA XIST silencing or miR-328-3p overexpression exerted opposing effects in lung normal and cancer cells regarding cell migration. LncRNA XIST down-regulated miR-328-3p levels as a miRNA sponge, and miR-328-3p targeted the 3'-UTR of FZD7 mRNA, which is ectopically overexpressed in lung cancer patients. Both in vivo lncRNA XIST silencing and miR-328 overexpression could rescue NNK-induced lung injury and aberrant overexpression of the lung cancer biomarker CK19 in NNK-treated A/J mice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our results highlight the promotive effect of lncRNA XIST in NNK-induced lung injury and elucidate its post-transcriptional mechanisms, indicating that targeting lncRNA XIST/miR-328-3p could be a potential therapeutic strategy to prevent tobacco carcinogen-induced lung injury in vivo.

Abstract
Fifty compounds including seven undescribed (1, 13, 18-20, 30, 31) and forty-three known (2-12, 14-17, 21-29, 32-50) ones were isolated from the extract of the twigs and leaves of Aglaia odorata with anti-neuroinflammatory activities. Their structures were determined by a combination of spectral analysis and calculated spectra (ECD and NMR). Among them, compounds 13-25 were found to possess tertiary amide bonds, with compounds 16, 17, and 19-21 existing detectable cis/trans mixtures in 1H NMR spectrum measured in CDCl3. Specifically, the analysis of the cis-trans isomerization equilibrium of tertiary amides in compounds 19-24 was conducted using NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. Bioactivity evaluation showed that the cyclopenta[b]benzofuran derivatives (2-6, 8, 10, 12) could inhibit nitric oxide production at the nanomolar concentration (IC50 values ranging from 2 to 100 nM) in lipopolysaccharide-induced BV-2 cells, which were 413-20670 times greater than that of the positive drug (minocycline, IC50 = 41.34 μM). The cyclopenta[bc]benzopyran derivatives (13-16), diterpenoids (30-35), lignan (40), and flavonoids (45, 47, 49, 50) also demonstrated significant inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 1.74 to 38.44 μM. Furthermore, the in vivo anti-neuroinflammatory effect of rocaglaol (12) was evaluated via immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, and western blot assays in the LPS-treated mice model. The results showed that rocaglaol (12) attenuated the activation of microglia and decreased the mRNA expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the cortex and hippocampus of mice. The mechanistic study suggested that rocaglaol might inhibit the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway to relieve the neuroinflammatory response.

Abstract
Sugar-free food has been gaining popularity because of low-calorie content. But sugar replacement by high-intensity sweeteners can negatively affect sensory. In this study, the effect of the addition of sucralose (Suc), stevioside (Ste), and erythritol (Ery) as sugar substitutes on the sensory profile and overall acceptance of ice cream were evaluated by penalty analysis (PA) based on the check-all-that apply (CATA) method, with those of the partial least squares (PLS) regression. Twelve sweetening agents of ice cream samples were presented to 106 consumers who answered on an overall liking question using the 15-point hedonic scale and a CATA question with 32 attributes that described the sensory characteristics of ice cream. The results showed that mixed sweeteners (60%Suc+20%Ste+20%Ery or 60%Suc+10%Ste+30%Ery) can present an advantageous performance when used separately, and making ice cream similar to that of sucrose (Sac) added. Adding Suc, Ste, and Ery to ice cream hardly felt bitterness, astringency, and chemical-like sensations of the sweetening agent. The significant difference between different sweeteners is the intensity and speed of sweetness. Developing combination of high-potency sweeteners that can make sweetness appear quickly could open up new ways to design sugar-free ice cream.

Abstract
From the 95% ethanol aqueous extract of the roots of Clausena lansium, six previously undescribed alkaloids (1, 2a, 2b, 15, 24a, 24b), a pair of prenylated phenylpropenols (26a, 26b), two coumarins (27, 28), and two undescribed sesquiterpenes (37, 38) were isolated and identified using spectroscopic and electron circular dichroism data, together with thirty-two known compounds. The absolute configurations of three alkaloids (3a, 3b, 4a) were determined for the first time. In vitro assay showed that alkaloids 7, 10, 12, 19, and furanocoumarins 34, 35 displayed inhibitory effects on the production of nitric oxide in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV-2 microglial cells, which were stronger than that of the minocycline (positive control). RT-PCR results indicated that indizoline (7) could inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6) in LPS-treated BV-2 cells.

Abstract
Apart from individual genetic background, unhealthy lifestyle and diet, etc., nutrition also plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of gastrointestinal tumors. Although some patients with gastrointestinal tumors can be satisfied with the traditional nutritional support, it is apparently inadequate for the systemic management of all patients. Precision nutrition support, also known as personalized nutrition support, refers to safe and efficient individualized nutrition intervention based on the investigation of individual genetic background, life characteristics, metabolic indicators, intestinal microbial characteristics, and physiological status factors through big data analysis for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. This review focuses on the relationship between nutrition and gastrointestinal tumors and discusses the progress of precision nutrition support therapy in the gastrointestinal tumors. Based on this, we hope to achieve effective personalized intervention protocols, and improve the clinical outcome and the overall oncology care of gastrointestinal tumors.

Abstract
The composition and stability of soil aggregates are important indicators for measuring soil quality, which would be affected by land use changes. Taking wetlands with different returning years (2 and 15 years) in the Yellow River Delta as the research object, paddy fields and natural wetlands as control, we analyzed the changes in soil physicochemical properties and soil aggregate composition. The results showed that soil water content, total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon and total phosphorus of the returning soil (0-40 cm) showed an overall increasing trend with returning period, while soil pH and bulk density was in adverse. There was no significant change in clay content, electrical conductivity, and total nitrogen content. The contents of macro-aggregates and micro-aggregates showed overall increasing and decreasing trend with returning period, respectively. The stability of aggregates in the topsoil (0-10 cm) increased with returning years. Geometric mean diameter and mean weight diameter increased by 8.9% and 40.4% in the 15th year of returning, respectively, while the mass proportion of >2.5 mm fraction decreased by 10.5%. There was no effect of returning on aggregates in subsoil (10-40 cm). Our results indicated that returning paddy field to wetland in the Yellow River Delta would play a positive role in improving soil structure and aggregate stability.

Abstract
With the promise of a potentially single-dose curative regimen, CAR-T cell therapies have brought a paradigm shift in the treatment and management of hematological malignancies with 6 approved products in the USA. However, there are no approved CAR-T cell therapies for solid tumors. Herein, we report the clinical pharmacology profile of AMG 119, the first CAR-T cell therapy targeting delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3), in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) small cell lung cancer (SCLC). AMG 119 demonstrated robust cellular expansion with long-lasting cell persistence and a favorable exposure-response relationship. AMG 119 has been demonstrated to be clinically safe and well tolerated at the doses tested, with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) reported. This is the first publication of the clinical pharmacology profile of a CAR-T cell therapy in SCLC, with encouraging cellular kinetics data supporting the potential for CAR-T cell therapy in solid tumor space.

Abstract
Background With the development of endoscopic technology, the application of upper endoscopy can quickly target the lesion site of patients with peptic ulcer complicated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Objective This study aims to discuss the clinical effect of octreotide combined with upper endoscopy in treating peptic ulcer complicated with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Methods A total of 82 patients diagnosed with peptic ulcer complicated with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were recruited as study objects in the researchers' hospital. According to the treatment method, this retrospective study divided the patients into a control group (n=41, receiving adrenaline injection under upper endoscopy only) and a treatment group (n=41, receiving adrenaline injection under upper endoscopy and Octreotide intravenously). Results After treatment, the volume of blood loss, average hemostasis time, hospital stay, and time of occult blood turning negative in the treatment group were shorter than those in the control group (P < .05). After treatment, the clinical efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P < .05). The levels of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and thrombin time (TT) levels in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group, with significant differences (P < .05). Conclusion and Relevance Combining octreotide and upper endoscopy has affirmative efficacy and good hemostatic effect on treating peptic ulcer complicated with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage with less pain and short recovery time, which is worthy of clinical application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to explore imaging features including tissue characterization and myocardial deformation in diabetic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and investigate its prognostic value for adverse outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with HFpEF who underwent cardiac MRI between January 2010 and December 2016 were enrolled. Feature-tracking (FT) analysis and myocardial fibrosis were assessed by cardiac MRI. Cox proportional regression analysis was performed to determine the association between MRI variables and primary outcomes. Primary outcomes were all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization during the follow-up period. RESULTS Of the 335 enrolled patients with HFpEF, 191 had diabetes mellitus (DM) (mean age: 58.7 years ± 10.8; 137 men). During a median follow-up of 10.2 years, 91 diabetic HFpEF and 56 non-diabetic HFpEF patients experienced primary outcomes. DM was a significant predictor of worse prognosis in HFpEF. In diabetic HFpEF, the addition of conventional imaging variables (left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial volume index, extent of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) resulted in a significant increase in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (from 0.693 to 0.760, p < 0.05). After adjustment for multiple clinical and imaging variables, each 1% worsening in GLS was associated with a 9.8% increased risk of adverse events (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Diabetic HFpEF is characterized by more severely impaired strains and myocardial fibrosis, which is identified as a high-risk HFpEF phenotype. In diabetic HFpEF, comprehensive cardiac MRI provides incremental value in predicting prognosis. Particularly, MRI-FT measurement of GLS is an independent predictor of adverse outcome in diabetic HFpEF. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Our findings suggested that MRI-derived variables, especially global longitudinal strain, played a crucial role in risk stratification and predicting worse prognosis in diabetic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, which could assist in identifying high-risk patients and guiding therapeutic decision-making. KEY POINTS • Limited data are available on the cardiac MRI features of diabetic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, including myocardial deformation and tissue characterization, as well as their incremental prognostic value. • Diabetic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients was characterized by more impaired strains and myocardial fibrosis. Comprehensive MRI, including tissue characterization and global longitudinal strain, provided incremental value for risk prediction. • MRI served as a valuable tool for identifying high-risk patients and guiding clinical management in diabetic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Abstract
Improper treatment of rural black wastewater (RBW) presents substantial challenges, including the wastage of resource, environmental contamination, and economic consequences. This study proposed an integrated process for RBW treatment, consisting of coagulation/flocculation (C/F) pretreatment and subsequent inoculation of indigenous microalgal-bacterial consortium (IMBC) for nitrogen recovery, namely C/F-IMBC process. Specifically, the optimal C/F conditions (polyaluminium chloride of 4 g/l, polyacrylamide of 50 mg/l, and pH of 6) were determined through a series of single-factor experiments, considering CN, turbidity, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) removal, economic cost, and potential influence on the water environment. Compared to the sole IMBC system for RBW treatment, the proposed C/F-IMBC process exhibited a remarkable 1.23-fold increase in microalgal growth and a substantial 17.6-22.6 % boost in nitrogen recovery. The altered RBW characteristic induced by C/F pretreatment was supposed to be responsible for the improved system performance. In particular, the abundance of DOM was decreased and its composition was simplified after C/F pretreatment, based on the analysis for excitation-emission matrices with parallel factor and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, thus eliminating the potential impacts of toxic DOM components (e.g., Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) on IMBC activity. It should also be noted that C/F pretreatment modified microbial community structure as well, thereby regulating the expression of nitrogen-related genes and enhancing the system nitrogen recovery capacity. For instance, the functional Cyanobacteria responsible for nutrient recovery was enriched by 1.95-fold and genes involved in the assimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia pathway were increased by 1.52-fold. These fundamental findings are expected to offer insights into the improvement of DOM removal and nitrogen recovery for IMBC-based wastewater treatment system, and provide valuable guidance for the development of sustainable on-site RBW treatment technologies.

Abstract
The spontaneous emulsification for the formation of water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions needs the help of at least one kind of the third component (surfactant or cosolvent) to stabilize the oil-water interface. Herein, with the water/CS2-soluble polymer poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEAM) as a surfactant, the spontaneous formation of water-in-PDEAM/CS2 emulsions is reported for the first time. The strong affinity between PDEAM and water or the increase of PDEAM concentration will accelerate the emulsification process with high dispersed phase content. It is demonstrated that the spontaneous emulsification of condensed water droplets into the PDEAM/CS2 solution occurs during the breath figure process, resulting in porous films with two levels of pore sizes (i.e., micron and submicron). The emulsification degree and the amounts of submicron-sized pores increase with PDEAM concentration and solidifying time of the solution. This work brings about incremental interest in spontaneous emulsification that may happen during the breath figure process. The combination of these two simultaneous processes provides us with an option to build hierarchically porous structures with condensed and emulsified water droplets as templates. Such porous membranes may have great potential in fields such as separation, cell culture, and biosensing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic thyroidectomy has been preliminarily proven effective and safe for thyroid diseases. The cosmetic outcomes and life quality are critical contents of postoperative assessment. This review will primarily focus on the assessment methods and results related to cosmetic outcomes, sensory alteration of surgical area, and quality of life following endoscopic thyroidectomy. METHODS A comprehensive search of published articles within the last decade was conducted using the terms "endoscopic/robotic thyroidectomy," "patient satisfaction scores," "questionnaire," "quality of life," and "cosmetic" in PubMed. RESULTS Assessment methods for postoperative cosmetic satisfaction and sensory alterations encompassed verbal/visual analog scales, scar evaluations, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament tests, and more. The evaluation of postoperative quality of life in endoscopic thyroidectomy involved tools such as SF-36, SF-12, thyroid-specific questionnaires, thyroid cancer-specific quality of life questionnaires (THYCA-QOL), as well as assessments related to voice and swallow function. The cosmetic results of endoscopic thyroidectomy generally surpassed those of open thyroidectomy, while the quality of life in endoscopic procedures was either superior or equivalent to that in open thyroidectomy, especially with respect to general health, role emotion, and vitality. CONCLUSIONS Assessments of cosmetic outcomes and sensory alterations following endoscopic thyroidectomy predominantly relied on patients' subjective feelings. The objective and subjective perspectives of scar assessments remain underutilized. In addition, postoperative laryngoscopy and voice function assessments in endoscopic thyroidectomy procedures require more attention.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The fruit of Lycium barbarum L. is widely employed with the traditional effect of tonic properties. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Gou Qi can be distributed in the meridian of stomach, as well as the liver and kidney, indicating its effect on the digestive system. Clinical studies found that Gou Qi enhanced gastrointestinal functions. Pharmacological research showed the extract of Lycium barbarum exhibiting a repaired effect on the intestine barrier. Lycibarbarspermidine L (LBS L), which belongs to polyamines, is separated from the fruit of Lycium barbarum. However, it is unknown whether LBS L can restore damaged intestinal barrier like other polyamines such as spermidine. AIM OF THE STUDY To elucidate the recovery effect of LBS L on damaged intestinal epithelium and its miRNA-related mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS IEC-6 cells were used in vitro to assess the therapeutic effect of LBS L on the injured intestine and the regulation of miR-195-3p. Spermidine (SPD) with intestinal mucosal repair effect was used as a positive control. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were subjected to 48 h fasting to induce intestinal epithelial atrophy in vivo. To determine the therapeutic effect of LBS L on injured intestinal epithelium and explore the mechanism, the fasting model group rats were treated with LBS L (25 mg/kg) for 4 days. RESULTS Results in vitro showed that LBS L (10 μM) promoted cell proliferation and migration, affecting the S phase of the cell cycle. Western blot signals showed that LBS L raised the expression level of occludin. The miR-195-3p levels were decreased following LBS L treatment, which could be inversed by transfecting miR-195-3p mimic, demonstrating that LBS L inhibited miR-195-3p to improve cell growth. Results in vivo showed that LBS L could reverse the atrophic villi and inflammatory cell infiltration in the submucosa and restore miR-195-3p, occludin, and Ki67 levels in the intestine of mice in the fasting group. CONCLUSIONS LBS L restores injured intestinal epithelium by reducing the expression of miR-195-3p.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders in the Indian Ayurvedic medical system. According to the theory behind traditional Chinese medicine, turmeric can be distributed in the spleen meridian, for which it has been used as a digestive aid. Curcumin (Cur), a natural polyphenol compound originally derived from turmeric, has anti-inflammatory activity and can assist in treating inflammatory bowel disease. AIMS OF THE STUDY To investigate curcumin's protective effects on intestinal epithelium and explore the underlying miR-195-3p-related mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS The miR-195-3p mimics were used to over-express miR-195-3p. The in vitro effects of Cur and miR-195-3p on the intestine were shown utilizing intestinal cryptlike epithelial cell line-6 (IEC-6) cells. By fasting for 48 h, an intestinal mucosal atrophy model of SD rats was created in vivo. Cur (25 or 50 mg/kg) was assessed for its protective effect on intestinal epithelium. Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) with an intestinal protective effect reported in our previous research was adopted as a positive drug for the in vivo and in vitro bioactivity evaluation since there is no universally positive drug for either intestinal mucosal restitution or miR-195-3p modulation. RESULTS Cur protects the intestinal epithelium and promotes its repair after injury via down-regulating miR-195-3p. In vitro experiments showed that Cur inhibited the apoptosis of IEC-6 cells, stimulated their growth, and down-regulated the level of miR-195-3p in cells. When miR-195-3p was overexpressed, the viability of IEC-6 cells decreased while the apoptosis rate increased. All the above detrimental effects were alleviated after curcumin intervention. Moreover, Cur reversed the effect of miR-195-3p on its downstream occludin. In vivo, results showed that 48-h fasting impaired the integrity of the small intestinal mucosa (abnormal crypt structure and reduced goblet cell number), which was ameliorated by Cur treatment. In addition, the Cur treatment reversed both the increased expression level of miR-195-3p and decreased levels of ki-67 and occludin caused by fasting. CONCLUSIONS Cur could promote the proliferation and repair after injury of the intestinal mucosa by down-regulating miR-195-3p.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary computed tomography angiography stenosis score (CCTA-SS) is a proposed diagnosis score that considers the plaque characteristics, myocardial function, and the diameter reduction rate of the lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the CCTA-SS in seeking coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS The 228 patients with suspected CAD who underwent CCTA and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) procedures were under examination. The diagnostic performance was evaluated with the receiver operating curve (ROC) for CCTA-SS in detecting CAD (defined as a diameter reduction of ≥ 50%) and severe CAD (defined as a diameter reduction of ≥ 70%). RESULTS The area under ROC (AUC) of CCTA-SS was 0.909 (95% CI: 0.864-0.943), which was significantly higher than that of CCTA (AUC: 0.826; 95% CI: 0.771-0.873; P = 0.0352) in diagnosing of CAD with a threshold of 50%. The optimal cutoff point of CCTA-SS was 51% with a sensitivity of 90.66%, specificity of 95.65%, positive predictive value of 98.80%, negative predictive value of 72.13%, and accuracy of 91.67%, whereas the optimal cutoff point of CCTA was 55%, and the corresponding values were 87.36%, 93.48%, 98.15%, 65.15%, and 88.60%, respectively. With a threshold of 70%, the performance of CCTA-SS with an AUC of 0.927 (95% CI: 0.885-0.957) was significantly higher than that of CCTA with an AUC of 0.521 (95% CI: 0.454-0.587) (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS CCTA-SS significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy of coronary stenosis, including CAD and severe CAD, compared with CCTA.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS), recognized as the most effective intervention for morbid obesity and associated metabolic comorbidities, encompasses both weight loss-dependent and weight loss-independent mechanisms to exert its metabolic benefits. In this study, we employed plasma proteomics technology, a recently developed mass spectrometric approach, to quantitatively assess 632 circulating proteins in a longitudinal cohort of 9 individuals who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Through time series clustering and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, we observed that complement activation, proteolysis, and negative regulation of triglyceride catabolic process were the primary biological processes enriched in down-regulated proteins. Conversely, up-regulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were significantly associated with negative regulation of peptidase activity, fibrinolysis, keratinocyte migration, and acute-phase response. Notably, we identified seven proteins (ApoD, BCHE, CNDP1, AFM, ITIH3, SERPINF1, FCN3) that demonstrated significant alterations at 1-, 3-, and 6-month intervals post SG, compared to baseline. These proteins play essential roles in metabolism, immune and inflammatory responses, as well as oxidative stress. Consequently, they hold promising potential as therapeutic targets for combating obesity and its associated comorbidities.

Abstract
Microalgae-based bioremediation is likely to be challenged by the microplastics (MPs) in wastewater induced by the widely use of surgical masks (SMs) during COVID-19. However, such toxic impact was generally evaluated under high exposure concentrations of MPs, which was not in agreement with the actual wastewater environments. Therefore, this study investigated the microalgal cellular responses to the surgical mask exudates (SMEs) in wastewater and explored the underlying inhibitory mechanism from the molecular perspective. Specifically, 390 items/L SMEs (including 200 items/L MPs which was the actual MP level in wastewater) significantly inhibited nutrient uptake and photosynthetic activities interrupted peroxisome biogenesis and induced oxidative stress which destroyed the structure of cell membrane. Moreover, the SMEs exposure also affected carbon fixation pathways, suppressed ABC transporters while promoted oxidative phosphorylation processes for the ATP accumulation These comprehensive processes led to an 8.5% reduced microalgae growth and variations of cellular biocomponents including lipid, carbohydrate, and protein. The increased carotenoids and consumed unsaturated fatty acid were considered to alleviate the SMEs-induced stress, and the enhanced EPS secretion facilitated the homogeneous aggregation. These findings will enhance current understandings of the SMEs effects in wastewater on microalgae and further improve the practical relevance of microalgae wastewater bioremediation technology.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to observe the effects of Rosa roxburghii Tratt seed (RRTS) on growth performance, meat quality, and sensory characteristic parameters in rabbits. Ninety-six New Zealand White rabbits were allotted to four dietary treatments containing 0 (CON), 120 (LR), 240 (MR), and 360 mg/kg (HR) RRTS. The experimental period lasted for 11 weeks. Thirty-two fattened rabbits were slaughtered, and the Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle was used for analyses. The feeding of RRTS was significantly (P < 0.05) decreased the feed conversion ratio (FCR). pH45min, pH24h, lightness, redness, drip loss, and percentage of water loss were unaffected (P > 0.05) by dietary treatments, whereas MR and HR treatments resulted in lower (P < 0.05) levels of yellowness and higher (P < 0.05) levels of shear force. LR showed significantly higher (P < 0.05) meat polyphenol compounds and vitamin E relative to the CON. Moreover, compared to the CON, HR treatment showed significantly higher (P < 0.05) vitamin C and glutathione peroxidase, and LR and MR displayed lower (P < 0.05) superoxide anion radicals, and all treatments had higher levels catalase (CAT). C18:2n-6 t, C20:2, C20:3n-6, C20:4n-6, C20:5n-3, C22:5n-3, and C22:6n-3 in LTL meat were higher (P < 0.05) in MR than CON rabbits. Moreover, the LTL muscle sensory evaluation parameters of appearance and fibrousness were improved (P < 0.05). Overall, dietary supplementation with RRTS is a valid strategy for decreasing FCR, and improving meat CAT concentration, C20:5n-3 and C22:5n-3 profiles, and sensory characteristics parameters of rabbits.

Abstract
A large animal model of chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) is crucial for the understanding the underlying pathophysiological processes of chronic CAD and consequences for cardiac structure and function. The goal of this study was to develop a chronic model of CAD in a swine model and to evaluate the changes of myocardial structure, myocardial motility, and myocardial viability during coronary stenosis. A total of 30 swine (including 24 experimental animals and 6 controls) were enrolled. The chronic ischemia model was constructed by using Ameroid constrictor in experimental group. The 24 experimental animals were further divided into 4 groups (6 animals in each group) and were sacrificed at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after operation for pathological examination, respectively. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed preoperatively and weekly postoperatively until sacrificed both in experimental and control group. CMR cine images, rest/adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stress myocardial contrast perfusion and LGE were performed and analyzed. The rest wall thickening (WT) score was calculated from rest cine images. The MPRI (myocardial perfusion reserve index) and MPR (myocardial perfusion reserve) were calculated based on rest and stress perfusion images. Pathology staining including triphenyltetrazolium chloride, HE and picrosirus red staining were performed after swine were sacrificed and collagen volume fraction (CVF) was calculated. The time to formation of ischemic, hibernating, and infarcted myocardium was recorded. In experimental group, from 1w to 4w after surgery, the rest WT score decreased gradually from 35.2 ± 2.0%, 32.0 ± 2.9% to 30.5 ± 3.0% and finally 29.06 ± 1.78%, p < 0.001. Left ventricular ejection fraction was gradually impaired after modeling (58.9 ± 12.6%, 56.3 ± 10.1%, 55.3 ± 9.0%, 53.8 ± 9.9%, respectively). And the MPR and MPRI also decreased stepwise with extent of surgery time (MPRI dropped from 2.1 ± 0.4, 2.0 ± 0.2 to 1.8 ± 0.3 and finally 1.7 ± 0.1, p = 0.004; MPR dropped from 2.3 ± 0.4, 2.1 ± 0.2 to 1.9 ± 0.4 and finally 1.8 ± 0.1, p < 0.001). Stronger associations between MPR, MPRI and CVF were paralleled lower wall thickening scores in fibrosis-affected areas. The ischemic myocardium was first appeared in the first week after surgery (involving ten segments), hibernated myocardium was first appeared in the second week after surgery (involving seventeen segments). LGE was first appeared in eight swine in the third weeks after surgery (16 segments). At 4w after surgery, average 9.6 g scar tissue was found among 6 swine. At the same time, histological analysis established the presence of fibrosis and ongoing apoptosis in the infarcted area. In conclusion, our study provided valuable insights into the pathophysiological processes of chronic CAD and its consequences for cardiac structure and function in a large animal model through combining myocardial motion and stress perfusion.

Abstract
In the research on lung protective effects from the roots of Stemona sessilifolia, twenty-five Stemona alkaloids have been isolated, including four undescribed components (1, 3-5), a new natural product (2) and 20 known alkaloids (6-25). Their structures were analyzed by NMR spectra, high-resolution mass spectrum data, and other chemical methods. UPLC-QTOF/MS method was used to identify the Stemona alkaloids and summarize the fragmentation patterns of mass spectrometry. The lung-protective effects of these compounds were evaluated using MLE-12 cells induced by NNK and nm SiO2. The results showed that compounds 3, 5, 8, 10-11, 17-21 and 23 exhibited protective effects on NNK-induced cell injury. Compounds 2, 8-11, 14, 17-19 and 22 showed improvement in nm SiO2-induced lung epithelial cell injury. Compound 10 (tuberostemonine D), a representative alkaloid with a high content in Stemona sessilifolia, significantly protected C57BL/6 lung injury mice induced by nm SiO2, suggesting it a key component of Stemona alkaloids that play a protective role in lung injury. The results of in vivo activity showed that compound 10 could improve the lung injury of mice, reduce ROS content, and recover the levels of SOD and MDA in serum. Its protective effect on lung injury might be related to Nrf2 activation.

Abstract
AIMS Haemodynamic forces (HDFs) provided a feasible method to early detect cardiac mechanical abnormalities by estimating the intraventricular pressure gradients. The novel advances in assessment of HDFs using routine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) cines shed new light on detection of preclinical dysfunction. However, definition of normal values for this new technique is the prerequisite for application in the clinic. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 218 healthy volunteers [38.1 years ± 11.1; 111 male (50.9%)] were recruited and underwent CMR examinations with a 3.0T scanner. Balanced steady state free precession breath hold cine images were acquired, and HDF assessments were performed based on strain analysis. The normal values of longitudinal and transversal HDF strength [root mean square (RMS)] and ratio of transversal to longitudinal HDF were all evaluated in overall population as well as in both genders and in age-specific groups. The longitudinal RMS values (%) of HDFs were significantly higher in women (P < 0.05). Moreover, the HDF amplitudes significantly decreased with ageing in entire heartbeat, systole, diastole, systolic/diastolic transition, and diastolic deceleration, while increased in atrial thrust. In multivariable linear regression analysis, age, heart rate, and global longitudinal strain emerged as independent predictors of the amplitudes of longitudinal HDFs in entire heartbeat and systole, while left ventricular end-diastole volume index was also independently associated with longitudinal HDFs in diastole and diastolic deceleration (P < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION Our study provided comprehensive normal values of HDF assessments using CMR as well as presented with specific age and sex stratification. HDF analyses can be performed with excellent intra- and inter-observer reproducibility.

Abstract
Transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) is crucial for cellular function, but DNA damage severely impedes this process. Thus far, transcription-blocking DNA lesions (TBLs) and their repair have been difficult to quantify in living cells. To overcome this, we generated, using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing, mScarletI-tagged Cockayne syndrome group B protein (CSB) and UV-stimulated scaffold protein A (UVSSA) knockin cells. These cells allowed us to study the binding dynamics of CSB and UVSSA to lesion-stalled RNA Pol II using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). We show that especially CSB mobility is a sensitive transcription stress marker at physiologically relevant DNA damage levels. Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER)-mediated repair can be assessed by studying CSB immobilization over time. Additionally, flow cytometry reveals the regulation of CSB protein levels by CRL4CSA-mediated ubiquitylation and deubiquitylation by USP7. This approach allows the sensitive detection of TBLs and their repair and the study of TC-NER complex assembly and stability in living cells.

Abstract
Cystatin SN (CST1) appears to have pro-tumor effects in breast cancer (BC) and is involved in ferroptosis; however, there is no report on the regulation of ferroptosis by CST1 for BC development. The purpose of this study is to investigate the functions and mechanisms operated by CST1 in BC development and ferroptosis. Transcription Factor Activator Protein 2γ (TFAP2C) and CST1 levels in BC tissues and estrogen receptor (ER)+ cells were quantified by RT-qPCR and western blotting. After knocking down TFAP2C and CST1 expression in MCF7 and T47D cells, the proliferation, colony formation ability, apoptosis, and cell cycle were assessed. Ferroptosis was verified by detecting glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE) levels. The kits were used to test Fe2+, reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and glutathione levels, and ultrastructure of mitochondria was observed through transmission electron microscope. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation test were carried out to investigate the interaction of TFAP2C and CST1. A transplanted tumor model was established to explore the function of TFAP2C in tumorigenesis by quantifying TFAP2C, CST1, Ki67, and GPX4 levels through western blotting and immunochemistry after silencing TFAP2C. TFAP2C and CST1 were predominantly expressed in BC cells. Silencing of TFAP2C or CST1 expression suppressed ER+ BC cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis and ferroptosis, and blocked cell cycle transition from G1 phase to S phase. TFAP2C knockdown in transplanted tumors inhibited tumor growth and GPX4 level. Upregulating CST1 nullified the anti-tumor effects of TFAP2C knockdown and TFAP2C promoted CST1 expression through transcription activation. TFAP2C activates CST1 transcription to facilitate BC development and block ferroptosis.

Abstract
This work examined the influence of zirconium concentration on barium titanate (BZT) BaZrxTi1-xO3, with (x = 0, 0.15, 0.50, 0.75, and 1), produced by the tartrate precursor technique. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra support the X-ray diffraction (XRD) results regarding formation of the perovskite structure. Grain size grows with Zr concentration, suggesting that the presence of Zr ions enlarges the grains. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images demonstrated that, due to their nano size, nanocrystallites are agglomerated in most images with irregular morphologies and average particle sizes from 20.75 nm to 63.75 nm. Increasing Zr content diminished the piezoelectric coefficient (d33) and the grain size. The value of d33 decreases by increasing Zr content, and there is an inverse relationship between grain size and d33. The remnant polarization of BZT increases with increasing Zr4+ content, which may be suitable for permanent memory device applications.

Abstract
In order to achieve zero discharge and resource utilization of industrial high salt wastewater, a hybrid system of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) and hollow fiber vacuum membrane distillation (HFVMD) was constructed, and several experiments of air tightness, single working condition and multiple working conditions were carried out with ammonium chloride solution as feed, then thermal economic performance were evaluated via a single factor analysis method. The obtained results showed that the system had excellent airtightness to ensure normal evaporation experiment, and high separation efficiency of 99.9% and lower evaporation energy consumption to achieve high efficient separation by combining the advantages of the hydrophobic membrane evaporation and latent heat recovery in view of MVR and HFVMD technologies. Furthermore, increasing feed temperature and feed flow rate increased evaporation rate and decreased evaporation energy consumption, while increasing feed concentration decreased evaporation rate and increased evaporation energy consumption. Finally, the single factor analysis indicated that total investment cost, annual operation cost and annual evaporation capacity were the main factors while environmental cost and equipment service life were the secondary factors which affected the specific evaporation cost. The above research provides theoretical and experimental bases for the development of the proposed system in the future.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES It is still challenging for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to detect ischemic heart disease (IHD) without the use of gadolinium contrast. We aimed to evaluate the potential value of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stress myocardial strain derived from feature tracking (FT) as a novel method for detecting IHD in a swine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS CMR cines, myocardial perfusion imaging at rest and during ATP stress, and late gadolinium enhancement were obtained in both control and IHD swine. Normal, remote, ischemic, and infarcted myocardium were analyzed. The diagnostic accuracy of myocardial strain for infarction and ischemia was assessed using coronary angiography and pathology as reference. RESULTS Eleven IHD swine and five healthy control swine were enrolled in this study. Strain parameters, even at rest, were associated with myocardial ischemia and infarction(all p < 0.05). The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values of all strain parameters for detecting infarcted myocardium exceeded 0.900 (all p < 0.05). The AUC values for detecting ischemic myocardium were as follows: 0.906 and 0.847 for stress and rest radial strain, 0.763 and 0.716 for stress and rest circumferential strain, 0.758 and 0.663 for stress and rest longitudinal strain (all p < 0.001). Heat maps demonstrated that all strain parameters showed mild to moderate correlations with the stress myocardial blood flow and myocardial perfusion reserve (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION CMR-FT-derived ATP stress myocardial strain shows promise as a noninvasive method for detecting myocardial ischemia and infarction in an IHD swine model, with rest strain parameters offering potential as a needle-free diagnostic option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The proportion of abnormal electrocardiogra (ECG) in patients with coronary artery fistula (CAF) is relatively high, but the correlation between CAF and arrhythmia is mostly reported in individual case studies. This paper analyzes the correlation between imaging features and ECG features. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to analyze the incidence and distribution characteristics of abnormal ECG in patients with CAF and further explore the difference in ECG characteristics between coronary-cameral fistula (CCF) and coronary-pulmonary artery fistula (CPAF). METHOD A total of 144,448 patients who underwent coronary computerized tomography angiography (CTA) examination from January 2016 to December 2022 were included in this study, and 284 patients with CAF (excluding coronary atherosclerosis) were selected for analysis of their ECG and image characteristics. And divided them into the CPAF (221 cases) and CCF (63 cases) groups, the differences in ECG between the two groups was compared. The changes in the ECG after the operation were analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of abnormal ECG in patients with CAF was approximately 72.9%. There were significant differences in the proportion of ECG block, myocardial ischemia and structural ECG changes between the CPAF group and CCF group (P < 0.05). CCF was more likely to cause conduction block and ischemic and structural ECG changes. A total of 53 patients with CAF underwent surgical treatment, 28 patients with improved ECG (52%). CONCLUSION CCF especially CCF patients often have abnormal ECG findings such as conduction block, myocardial ischemia, and structural changes, which can often be restored to normal through surgery.

Abstract
Daphnepedunins G (1) and H (2) with unusual macrocyclic 3,4-seco-daphnane orthoester structure were isolated from Daphne pedunculata. Their structures were determined by physicochemical and spectroscopic analyses combined with synthetic methods, including methyl esterification, derivatization reaction using a chiral anisotropic agent, and biomimetic conversion. Compounds 1 and 2 along with their methyl esters 1a and 2a were evaluated for anti-HIV activity, among which 1a and 2a exhibited potent activity with IC50 values of 1.08 and 1.17 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Introduction: Traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations have become an increasingly utilized strategy for tumour treatment. Qidongning Formula (QDN) is a kind of antitumour compound preparation used in hospitals, and it can inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells. However, due to the complexity of botanical drugs, the quality evaluation of QDN is inconsistent, affecting clinical efficacy and posing potential safety risks for clinical application. Additionally, tissue distribution is an integral part of the drug development process. Methods: To study the distribution characteristics of markers in compound preparations and rat tissues, a novel HPLC-QQQ-MS/MS quantitative analytical method was established to determine five markers in QDN simultaneously, and the method was verified. Results and discussion: The analytical results showed that the contents of salidroside (51.6 ± 5.75 μg/g), calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (94.2 ± 15.4 μg/g), specnuezhenide (371 ± 72.5 μg/g), formononetin (23.8 ± 5.39 μg/g), and polyphyllin I (87.7 ± 10.6 μg/g) were stable in different batches of QDN. After intragastric administration (13.5 g/kg) in rats for 1 h, four markers in the QDN, except polyphyllin I, were distributed in most tissues. QDN was distributed chiefly in the stomach and small intestine, followed by the liver or kidney. The study also found that specnuezhenide had the highest concentration in both QDN and rat tissues (102 ± 22.1 μg/g in the stomach), while formononetin had the highest transfer rate (0.351%) from QDN to rat intestines. The above research lays a quality research foundation for the antitumour application of QDN and provides a scientific reference for the quality control of Chinese medicine compound preparations.

Abstract
Due to the limited host range of HBV, research progress has been hindered by the absence of a suitable animal model. The natural history of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) infection in woodchuck closely mirrors that of HBV infection in human, making this species a promising candidate for establishing both in vivo and in vitro HBV infection models. Therefore, this animal may be a valuable species to evaluate HBV vaccines and anti-HBV drugs. A significant milestone in HBV and hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection is the discovery of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) as the functional receptor. In an effort to enhance susceptibility to HBV infection, we introduced hNTCP into the woodchuck hepatocytes by multiple approaches including transduction of vLentivirus-hNTCP in woodchuck hepatocytes, transfection of p-lentivirus-hNTCP-eGFP plasmids into these cells, as well as transduction of vAdenovirus-hNTCP-eGFP. Encouragingly, our findings demonstrated the successful introduction of hNTCP into woodchuck hepatocytes. However, it was observed that these hNTCP-expressing hepatocytes were only susceptible to HDV infection but not HBV. This suggests the presence of additional crucial factors mediating early-stage HBV infection that are subject to stringent species-specific restrictions.

Abstract
The aim was to construct and verify a nomogram-based assessment of cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma after surgery. Patients were collected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program between 2004 and 2015. Independent prognostic indicators were determined in the training cohort by Cox regression model. We identified 2217 eligible patients, who were further categorized into the training set (n = 1693) as well as the validation set (n = 524). Multivariate analysis revealed that age at diagnosis, gender, grade, tumor size, T stage, N stage, and M stage were independent predictive indicators. Then, the above 7 predictive factors were incorporated into a nomogram model to assess CSS, which showed good calibration and discrimination capacities in both sets. Both internal and external calibration plot diagrams revealed that the actual results were consistent with the predicted outcomes. The time-independent area under the curves for 3-year and 5-year CSS in the nomogram were larger than American Joint Committee on Cancer and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results summary stage system. Moreover, decision curve analysis indicated the clinical utility of the nomogram. The nomogram demonstrated favorable predictive accuracy of survival in colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma patients after surgery, which should be further confirmed before clinical implementation.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism plays an important role in the growth and development of tumors. However, the role of lipid metabolism in gallbladder cancer (GBC) has not been clearly clarified. Here, we demonstrated that fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key enzyme in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, had upregulated expression in GBC samples both at protein and mRNA levels. Analysis of clinical data indicated the association between elevated FASN expression and poorer histology grades. Furthermore, FASN activity impairment through FASN knockdown or treatment with orlistat resulted in the inhibition of cell proliferation and migration, as well as increased sensitivity to gemcitabine. Both FASN knockdown and orlistat treatment induced cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, impairment of FASN activity suppressed the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which led to increased cell apoptosis and sensitivity to gemcitabine. These findings were also validated through nude mouse xenograft models, thus highlighting the potential of targeting FASN as a clinical treatment strategy. Collectively, the present study underscores the crucial role of FASN in the progression of gallbladder cancer via the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore individual weight of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) metrics to predict mid-term outcomes in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and develop a risk algorithm for mid-term outcome based on CMR biomarkers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with DCM who underwent CMR imaging were prospectively enrolled in this study. The primary endpoint was a composite of heart failure (HF) death, sudden cardiac death (SCD), aborted SCD, and heart transplantation. RESULTS A total of 407 patients (age 48.1 ± 13.8 years, 331 men) were included in the final analysis. During a median follow-up of 21.7 months, 63 patients reached the primary endpoint. NYHA class III/IV (HR = 2.347 [1.073-5.133], p = 0.033), left ventricular ejection fraction (HR = 0.940 [0.909-0.973], p < 0.001), late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) > 0.9% and ≤ 6.6% (HR = 3.559 [1.020-12.412], p = 0.046), LGE > 6.6% (HR = 6.028 [1.814-20.038], p = 0.003), and mean extracellular volume (ECV) fraction ≥ 32.8% (HR = 5.922 [2.566-13.665], p < 0.001) had a significant prognostic association with the primary endpoints (C-statistic: 0.853 [0.810-0.896]). Competing risk regression analyses showed that patients with mean ECV fraction ≥ 32.8%, LGE ≥ 5.9%, global circumferential strain ≥ - 5.6%, or global longitudinal strain ≥ - 7.3% had significantly shorter event-free survival due to HF death and heart transplantation. Patients with mean ECV fraction ≥ 32.8% and LGE ≥ 5.9% had significantly shorter event-free survival due to SCD or aborted SCD. CONCLUSION ECV fraction may be the best independently risk factor for the mid-term outcomes in patients with DCM, surpassing LVEF and LGE. LGE has a better prognostic value than other CMR metrics for SCD and aborted SCD. The risk stratification model we developed may be a promising non-invasive tool for decision-making and prognosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT "One-stop" assessment of cardiac function and myocardial characterization using cardiac magnetic resonance might improve risk stratification of patients with DCM. In this prospective study, we propose a novel risk algorithm in DCM including NYHA functional class, LVEF, LGE, and ECV. KEY POINTS • The present study explores individual weight of CMR metrics for predicting mid-term outcomes in dilated cardiomyopathy. • We have developed a novel risk algorithm for dilated cardiomyopathy that includes cardiac functional class, ejection fraction, late gadolinium enhancement, and extracellular volume fraction. • Personalized risk model derived by CMR contributes to clinical assessment and individual decision-making.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the factors influencing visual outcomes in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who developed persistent submacular fluid (PSF) after scleral buckling surgery. Methods: A retrospective case series analysis was conducted. Clinical data were collected from patients who underwent successful scleral buckling surgery for RRD at Beijing Tongren Hospital from June 2020 to December 2022 and were followed up. Patients with RRD involving the macular area preoperatively and graded as C1 or below in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) were included. Surgical procedures followed a minimally invasive scleral buckling approach. PSF was defined as subretinal fluid persisting for more than 1 month postoperatively. Regular follow-up visits were scheduled at postoperative days 1, 3, 7, 2 weeks, and 1 month, followed by monthly visits until complete PSF absorption. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, refractive error, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed at each follow-up time point. Eyes were divided into two groups based on whether the final follow-up BCVA was≥0.5 and whether the absorption time of PSF was>6 months, and statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, chi-squared test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: A total of 46 patients (46 eyes) were included in this study, comprising 25 males and 21 females, with a median age of 32.5 (21.0, 57.3) years. The preoperative equivalent spherical refractive error was (-5.27±4.05) D, and the preoperative duration of illness was 30 (14, 92) days. The preoperative BCVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution,logMAR) was 2.00 (1.00, 2.50). Scleral buckle surgery was performed in 28 eyes (60.9%), and 18 eyes (39.1%) underwent scleral buckle surgery combined with encircling. External drainage was performed in 15 eyes (32.6%), while 31 eyes (67.4%) had no external drainage. BCVA (logMAR) at 1 month, 3 months, and the final follow-up postoperatively was 0.60 (0.50, 1.00), 0.40 (0.28, 0.53), and 0.15 (0.00, 0.50), respectively. In the final follow-up, 31 eyes (67.4%) achieved BCVA≥0.5, and 26 eyes (56.5%) had continuous ellipsoid zone on OCT. The differences in BCVA (logMAR) between preoperative, 1 month, 3 months, and the final follow-up were statistically significant (Z=-5.85, -5.63, -4.73;all P<0.001). The absorption time of PSF postoperatively was 6.50 (3.00, 9.00) months, ranging from 2 to 19 months. The eyes with PSF duration<3 months, 3-6 months, and>6 months were 12 eyes (26.1%), 11 eyes (23.9%), and 23 eyes (50.0%), respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in preoperative BCVA≥0.05, preoperative duration of illness within 1 month, PVR grading, surgical method, and continuous ellipsoid zone on OCT (all P<0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in PSF absorption time, different types of PSF, and intraoperative drainage (all P>0.05). The PSF absorption time in the two groups was 7 (3, 10) months and 6 (4, 8) months, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions: Preoperative visual acuity, duration of illness, and PVR grading are factors influencing visual outcomes in patients with RRD who have undergone scleral buckling surgery and develop PSF. In contrast, intraoperative drainage, PSF absorption time, and different PSF types are not factors affecting visual prognosis. Although PSF may persist for a long time after scleral buckling surgery, it does not significantly impact long-term visual outcomes.

Abstract
Understanding the role of parton mass and Casimir color factors in the quantum chromodynamics parton shower represents an important step in characterizing the emission properties of heavy quarks. Recent experimental advances in jet substructure techniques have provided the opportunity to isolate and characterize gluon emissions from heavy quarks. In this Letter, the first direct experimental constraint on the charm-quark splitting function is presented, obtained via the measurement of the groomed shared momentum fraction of the first splitting in charm jets, tagged by a reconstructed D^{0} meson. The measurement is made in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, in the low jet transverse-momentum interval of 15≤p_{T}^{jet ch}<30 GeV/c where the emission properties are sensitive to parton mass effects. In addition, the opening angle of the first perturbative emission of the charm quark, as well as the number of perturbative emissions it undergoes, is reported. Comparisons to measurements of an inclusive-jet sample show a steeper splitting function for charm quarks compared with gluons and light quarks. Charm quarks also undergo fewer perturbative emissions in the parton shower, with a reduced probability of large-angle emissions.

Abstract
The affective Brain-Computer Interface (aBCI) systems, which achieve predictions for individual subjects through training on multiple subjects, often cannot achieve satisfactory results due to the differences in Electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns between subjects. One tried to use Subject-specific classifiers, but there was a lack of sufficient labeled data. To solve this problem, Domain Adaptation (DA) has recently received widespread attention in the field of EEG-based emotion recognition. Domain adaptation (DA) learning aims to solve the problem of inconsistent distributions between training and test datasets and has received extensive attention. Most existing methods use Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) or its variants to minimize the problem of domain distribution inconsistency. However, noisy data in the domain can lead to significant drift in domain means, which can affect the adaptability performance of learning methods based on MMD and its variants to some extent. Therefore, we propose a robust domain adaptation learning method with possibilistic distribution distance measure. Firstly, the traditional MMD criterion is transformed into a novel possibilistic clustering model to weaken the influence of noisy data, thereby constructing a robust possibilistic distribution distance metric (P-DDM) criterion. Then the robust effectiveness of domain distribution alignment is further improved by a fuzzy entropy regularization term. The proposed P-DDM is in theory proved which be an upper bound of the traditional distribution distance measure method MMD criterion under certain conditions. Therefore, minimizing P-DDM can effectively optimize the MMD objective. Secondly, based on the P-DDM criterion, a robust domain adaptation classifier based on P-DDM (C-PDDM) is proposed, which adopts the Laplacian matrix to preserve the geometric consistency of instances in the source domain and target domain for improving the label propagation performance. At the same time, by maximizing the use of source domain discriminative information to minimize domain discrimination error, the generalization performance of the learning model is further improved. Finally, a large number of experiments and analyses on multiple EEG datasets (i.e., SEED and SEED-IV) show that the proposed method has superior or comparable robustness performance (i.e., has increased by around 10%) in most cases.

Abstract
As an important branch in the field of affective computing, emotion recognition based on electroencephalography (EEG) faces a long-standing challenge due to individual diversities. To conquer this challenge, domain adaptation (DA) or domain generalization (i.e., DA without target domain in the training stage) techniques have been introduced into EEG-based emotion recognition to eliminate the distribution discrepancy between different subjects. The preceding DA or domain generalization (DG) methods mainly focus on aligning the global distribution shift between source and target domains, yet without considering the correlations between the subdomains within the source domain and the target domain of interest. Since the ignorance of the fine-grained distribution information in the source may still bind the DG expectation on EEG datasets with multimodal structures, multiple patches (or subdomains) should be reconstructed from the source domain, on which multi-classifiers could be learned collaboratively. It is expected that accurately aligning relevant subdomains by excavating multiple distribution patterns within the source domain could further boost the learning performance of DG/DA. Therefore, we propose in this work a novel DG method for EEG-based emotion recognition, i.e., Local Domain Generalization with low-rank constraint (LDG). Specifically, the source domain is firstly partitioned into multiple local domains, each of which contains only one positive sample and its positive neighbors and k2 negative neighbors. Multiple subject-invariant classifiers on different subdomains are then co-learned in a unified framework by minimizing local regression loss with low-rank regularization for considering the shared knowledge among local domains. In the inference stage, the learned local classifiers are discriminatively selected according to their importance of adaptation. Extensive experiments are conducted on two benchmark databases (DEAP and SEED) under two cross-validation evaluation protocols, i.e., cross-subject within-dataset and cross-dataset within-session. The experimental results under the 5-fold cross-validation demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared with several state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the correlation between LA and LV strain measurements in different clinical scenarios and evaluate to what extent LA deformation contributes to the prognosis of patients. METHODS A total of 297 consecutive participants including 75 healthy individuals, 75 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, 74 idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and 73 chronic myocardial infarction (MI) patients were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The associations of LA-LV coupling with clinical status were statistically analyzed by correlation, multiple linear regression, and logistic regression. Survival estimates were calculated by receiver operating characteristic analyses and Cox regression analyses. RESULTS Overall, moderate correlations were found between LA and LV strain in every phase of the cardiac cycle (r: -0.598 to -0.580, all p < 0.001). The slope of the regression line of the individual strain-strain curve had a significant difference among 4 groups (-1.4 ± 0.3 in controls, -1.1 ± 0.6 in HCM, -1.8 ± 0.8 in idiopathic DCM, -2.4 ± 1.1 in chronic MI, all p < 0.05). During a median follow-up of 4.7 years, the total LA emptying fraction was independently associated with primary (hazard ratio: 0.968, 95% CI: 0.951-0.985) and secondary endpoints (hazard ratio: 0.957, 95% CI: 0.930-0.985) with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.720 respectively, 0.806, which was significantly higher than the AUC of LV parameters. CONCLUSIONS The coupled correlations between the left atria and ventricle in every phase and the individual strain-strain curve vary with etiology. LA deformation in late diastole provides prior and incremental information on cardiac dysfunction based on LV metrics. The total LA emptying fraction was an independent indicator for clinical outcome superior to that of LV typical predictors. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Left ventricular-atrial coupling is not only valuable for comprehending the pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases caused by different etiologies but also holds significant importance for the prevention of adverse cardiovascular events and targeted treatment. KEY POINTS • In HCM patients with preserved LVEF, LA deformation is a sensitive indicator for cardiac dysfunction prior to LV parameters with a reduced LA/LV strain ratio. • In patients with reduced LVEF, LV deformation impairment is more consequential than that of the LA with an increased LA/LV strain ratio. Furthermore, impaired LA active strain indicates potential atrial myopathy. • Among LA and LV parameters, the total LA emptying fraction is the best predictor for guiding clinical management and follow-up in patients with different statuses of LVEF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Blood-flow pattern is an essential factor in cardiovascular development. Recently, blood speckle-tracking echocardiography (BST) based on high-frame-rate ultrasound has emerged as a promising technique for the assessment of blood-flow patterns and properties. The objectives of this study were to determine the feasibility of BST in the fetus and to assess intracardiac blood-flow patterns of fetuses with a congenital heart defect (CHD) using this technique. METHODS This was a prospective study consisting of 35 normal fetuses, 35 fetuses with left-sided obstructive lesion (LSOL) and 35 fetuses with right-sided obstructive lesion (RSOL). BST images of fetal intracardiac regions of interest (ROIs), including the left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), ascending aorta (AAo), aortic arch (AA), descending aorta (DAo) and pulmonary artery (PA), were obtained and analyzed. The feasibility of BST was assessed, and blood-flow pattern and number of vortices in the ROIs were recorded. RESULTS The median gestational age of the fetuses was 24.7 weeks (range, 19.6-34.3 weeks). BST was feasible in 81.6% of cases, and the cut-off value of depth for an adequate BST image was ≤ 7.9 cm. There were no differences in the presence of vortex/turbulent blood flow in the LV or RV among the three groups. Vortex/turbulent blood flow in the AAo was detected in 0% (0/35), 14.3% (5/35) and 57.1% (20/35) of cases in the control, LSOL and RSOL groups, respectively. The respective values were 5.7% (2/35), 14.3% (5/35) and 51.4% (18/35) for the AA; 0% (0/35), 48.6% (17/35) and 0% (0/35) for the DAo; and 0% (0/35), 40.0% (14/35) and 51.4% (18/35) for the PA. With the exception of the DAo in the RSOL group, vortex/turbulent flow in the great artery ROIs was significantly more common in the LSOL and RSOL groups than in controls (P < 0.01). In the LSOL group, the number of vortices in the AAo, AA, DAo and PA was significantly greater compared with that in controls (P < 0.01). In the RSOL group, the number of vortices in the LV, AAo, AA and PA was significantly greater compared with that in controls (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Fetuses with CHD were more likely to exhibit vortex/turbulent blood flow and increased number of vortices in the great arteries compared with healthy controls. Further research is needed to determine the biomechanical effect of blood-flow patterns, especially vortex flow, on fetal cardiovascular structure and function. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The urgent challenge for ischemic stroke treatment is the lack of effective neuroprotectants that target multiple pathological processes. Crebanine, an isoquinoline-like alkaloid with superior pharmacological activities, presents itself as a promising candidate for neuroprotection. However, its effects and mechanisms on ischemic stroke remain unknown. METHODS The effects of crebanine on brain damage following ischemic stroke were evaluated using the middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) model. Mechanism of action was investigated using both MCAO/R rats and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 cells. RESULTS We initially demonstrated that crebanine effectively ameliorated the neurological deficits in MCAO/R rats, while also reducing brain edema and infarction. Treatment with crebanine resulted in the up-regulation of NeuN+ fluorescence density and down-regulation of FJB+ cell count, and mitigated synaptic damage. Crebanine attenuated the hyperactivation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 2 (NOX2) by downregulating NADP+ and NADPH levels, suppressing gp91phox and p47phox expressions, and reducing p47phox membrane translocation in Iba-1+ cells. Additionally, crebanine reduced the quantity of Iba-1+ cells and protein expression. Correlation analysis has demonstrated that the inhibition of NOX2 activation in microglia is beneficial for mitigating I/R brain injuries. Moreover, crebanine exhibited significant antioxidant properties by down-regulating the expression of superoxide anion and intracellular reactive oxygen species in vivo and in vitro, and reducing lipid and DNA peroxidation. Crebanine exerted anti-inflammatory effect, as evidenced by the reduction in the expressions of nitric oxide, interleukin 1β, tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase. The effect of crebanine was achieved through the suppression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway. This is supported by evidence showing reduced NF-κB p65 promoter activity and nucleus translocation, as well as suppressed IκBα phosphorylation and degradation. Additionally, it inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPKs. Importantly, the anti-oxidative stress and neuroinflammation effects of crebanine were further enhanced after silencing gp91phox and p47phox. CONCLUSION Crebanine alleviated the brain damages of MCAO/R rats by inhibiting oxidative stress and neuroinflammation mediated by NOX2 in microglia, implying crebanine might be a potential natural drug for the treatment of cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a prevalent inherited retinal degenerative disease resulting from photoreceptor and pigment epithelial apoptosis. The Rhodopsin (RHO) is the most commonly associated pathogenic gene in RP. However, RHO mutations (c.512C>T P171L) have been infrequently reported, and the RP pathogenesis caused by these mutations remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of RHO (c.512C>T P171L) mutation on retinal cell differentiation and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of RP. An effective retinal organoid induction scheme for inhibiting the Wnt signaling pathway was selected for further experiments, and the established cell line chHES-406 was demonstrated to be heterozygous for RHO c.512C>T, with a normal karyotype and pluripotency potential. Furthermore, the development of chHES-406 organoids may be delayed, and apoptosis detection and co-localization revealed that chHES-406 organoids had more apoptotic cells than chHES-90 in the outer nuclear layer (ONL), mutant RHO protein was mislocalized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and stress-related and apoptotic gene expression increased. Overall, our study elucidated a possible mechanism by which ER stress caused by RHO P171L protein mislocalization may lead to ONL cell apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent findings elucidated hepatic PPARγ functions as a steatogenic-inducer gene that activates de novo lipogenesis, and is involved in regulation of glucose homeostasis, lipid accumulation, and inflammation response. This study delved into a comprehensive analysis of how PPARγ signaling affects the exercise-induced improvement of insulin resistance (IR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), along with its underlying mechanism. METHODS Chronic and acute swimming exercise intervention were conducted in each group mice. IR status was assessed by GTT and ITT assays. Serum inflammatory cytokines were detected by Elisa assays. PPARγ and its target genes expression were detected by qPCR assay. Relative protein levels were quantified via Western blotting. ChIP-qPCR assays were used to detect the enrichment of PPARγ on its target genes promoter. RESULTS Through an exploration of a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced IR and NAFLD model, both chronic and acute swimming exercise training led to significant reductions in body weight and visceral fat mass, as well as hepatic lipid accumulation. The exercise interventions also demonstrated a significant amelioration in IR and the inflammatory response. Meanwhile, swimming exercise significantly inhibited PPARγ and its target genes expression induced by HFD, containing CD36, SCD1 and PLIN2. Furthermore, swimming exercise presented significant modulation on regulatory factors of PPARγ expression and transcriptional activity. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that swimming exercise can improve lipid metabolism in IR and NAFLD, possibly through PPARγ signaling in the liver of mice.
