Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of salvia miltiorrhiza combined with roxadustat on wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic rats and its mechanism. Methods: This study was an experimental study. Twenty male 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used to successfully establish diabetic model, then full-thickness skin defect wounds on their backs were made. The rats were divided into normal saline group, roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group according to the random number table, with 5 rats in each group. Immediately after injury, the rats in normal saline group were given 5 mL normal saline by gavage, the rats in roxadustat alone group were given 1.5 mg/mL roxadustat suspension by gavage at 25 mg/kg, the rats in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group were given 18 mg/mL salvia miltiorrhiza suspension by gavage at 300 mg/kg, and the rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were given 19.5 mg/mL roxadustat and salvia miltiorrhiza suspension at roxadustat 25 mg/kg and salvia miltiorrhiza 300 mg/kg. All were administered once a day for 2 weeks. The wounds at 0 (immediately), 4, 8, and 12 d after injury were observed, and the wound healing rates at 4, 8, and 12 d after injury were calculated (n=5). At 14 d after injury, abdominal aortic blood was collected, and hemoglobin, red cell count, and white blood cell count were detected (n=5). The wound tissue was collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe inflammatory infiltration, skin tissue structure, and neovascularization, for Masson staining to observe the proportion of collagen fiber (n=3), for Western blotting to detect the protein expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD31, interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and IL-1β (n=3), and for immunohistochemical staining to determine the protein expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), with sample number of 3. Results: From 0 to 12 d after injury, the wound areas of rats in 4 groups were gradually decreased. At 4 d after injury, the wound healing rates of rats in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than those in normal saline group and roxadustat alone group (P<0.05). At 8 d after injury, the wound healing rates of rats in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group were significantly higher than the rate in normal saline group (P<0.05), and the wound healing rate of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than the rates in the other 3 groups (with P values all <0.05). At 12 d after injury, the wound healing rates of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than the rate in normal saline group (P<0.05). At 14 d after injury, there were no statistically significant differences in the hemoglobin or red blood cell count of rats in 4 groups (P<0.05). The white blood cell count of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were respectively (24.3±1.2)×109/L, (26.3±2.4)×109/L, and (15.0±0.7)×109/L, which were significantly lower than (33.8±2.7)×109/L in normal saline group (P<0.05); the white blood cell count of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly lower than that in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (with P values both <0.05). At 14 d after injury, a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration, disordered skin tissue structure, and few new blood vessels were observed in the wounds of rats in normal saline group; while a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration, tight skin tissue structure, and rich neovascularization were observed in the wounds of rats in the other 3 groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of collagen fiber of wounds in rats among the 4 groups (P>0.05). At 14 d after injury, the protein expression levels of VEGF and CD31 in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than those in normal saline group (P<0.05), the protein expression level of CD31 in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than the levels in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (with P values both <0.05). At 14 d after injury, the protein expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat alone group, salvia miltiorrhiza alone group, and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly lower than those in normal saline group (P<0.05); the protein expression levels of IL-6 and IL-1β in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly lower than those in roxadustat alone group and salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (P<0.05); the protein expression level of TNF-α in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly lower than that in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (P<0.05). At 14 d after injury, the protein expression level of EGFR in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than the levels in the other 3 groups (with P values all <0.05); the protein expression levels of HIF-1α in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat alone group and roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group were significantly higher than the level in normal saline group (P<0.05), and the protein expression level of HIF-1α in the wound tissue of rats in roxadustat+salvia miltiorrhiza group was significantly higher than that in salvia miltiorrhiza alone group (P<0.05); there were no statistically significant differences in the protein expression level of PCNA in the wound tissue of rats in 4 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: Roxadustat combined with salvia miltiorrhiza can promote the wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic rats by promoting blood vessel regeneration and reducing inflammatory response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the use of a modified laparoscopic repair of paraostomy hernia technique, called "D-Type parastomal hernia repair surgery" which combines abdominal wall and extraperitoneal stoma reconstruction, in patients with parastomal hernia (PSH) following colorectal stoma surgery. The aim was to determine whether D-type parastomal hernia repair surgery is a promising surgical approach compared to the traditional laparoscopic repair technique (Sugarbaker method) for patients with PSH. METHODS PSH patients were selected and retrospectively divided into two groups: the study group underwent D-type parastomal hernia repair, while the control group underwent laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair. Clinical data from both groups were analyzed. RESULT Compared to control group (n = 68), the study group undergoing D-type stoma lateral hernia repair had significant increase in total operative time (98.82 ± 12.37 min vs 124.61 ± 34.99 min, p < 0.001). The study group also showed better postoperative stoma bowel function scores in sensory ability, frequency of bowel movements, and clothing cleanliness without a stoma bag (p = 0.037, 0.001, 0.002). The treatment cost was significantly higher in the control group (3899.97 ± 260.00$ vs 3215.91 ± 230.03$, p < 0.001). The postoperative recurrence rate in the control group was 26.4%, while in the study group, it was 4.3%, with a significant statistical difference (p = 0.024). In terms of long-term postoperative complications, the study group had an overall lower incidence compared to the control group (p = 0.035). Other parameters showed no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION The study suggests that D-type parastomal hernia repair surgery is a safe and feasible procedure. Compared to traditional surgery, it can reduce the recurrence of lateral hernia, improve postoperative stoma bowel function, and save medical resources.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop a modified tinnitus-relieving sound system and establish a model for predicting its treatment effects. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tinnitus Specialist Clinic of Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University. METHODS We recruited 107 patients undergoing modified tinnitus-relieving sounds between August 2020 and May 2021. Patients were divided into training (n = 75) and validation (n = 32) cohorts in a 7:3 ratio. The treatment outcome was Tinnitus Handicapped Inventory scores. Features were established using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived logistic regression model, where the selected clinical risk factors were included in the multivariate logistic regression, and a nomogram was established based on the model. The discrimination and calibration abilities of the nomogram were evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curves. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the net benefit of predictive efficacy. RESULTS Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that the initial Tinnitus Handicapped Inventory score (odds ratio [OR]: 1.13 [1.07-1.19], P < .001) and treatment duration (OR: 3.4 [1.34-8.62], P < .001) were positive factors for improved tinnitus. The nomogram model that included baseline Tinnitus Handicapped Inventory score and treatment duration achieved a better concordance index of 0.880. DCA revealed that the nomogram model could lead to net benefits and exhibited a wider range of threshold probabilities for the prediction of therapeutic effects. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that the nomogram model, including baseline Tinnitus Handicapped Inventory score and treatment duration, could achieve optimal performance in the preoperative prediction of the therapeutic effect of modified tinnitus-relieving sound.

Abstract
AIM Cinchonine (CN) and its isomer cinchonidine (CD), two of the common cinchona alkaloids, are wildly used as antimalarial drugs. However, the effects of CN and CD on the auditory system are unknown. METHODS Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were used for predicting effective drugs. The CCK-8 assay was conducted for assessing cell viability in House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells. MitoSox Red staining revealed reactive oxygen species (ROS) amounts. TMRM staining was used to assess the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Immunofluorescence staining of myosin 7a was used to examine hair cells (HCs) in cisplatin-treated neonatal mouse cochlear explants, while TUJ-1 immunostaining was used for the detection of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Cleaved caspase-3 and TUNEL immunostaining were utilized for apoptosis assessment. Immunoblot was carried out to detect PI3K-AKT signaling effectors. RESULTS Pretreatment with CN or CD significantly increased cell viability and reduced mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS accumulation in cisplatin-treated HEI-OC1 cells. Immunofluorescent staining of cochlear explants showed that CN and CD attenuated cisplatin-induced damage to SGNs and HCs. Immunoblot revealed that CN and CD downregulated the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and activated PI3K-AKT signaling in cisplatin-injured HEI-OC1 cells. CONCLUSION CD and CN can reduce ototoxicity caused by cisplatin and might help treat cisplatin-associated hearing loss.

Abstract
The present study elucidated cuproptosis-related molecular clusters involved in ischemic stroke and developed predictive models. Transcriptomic and immunological profiles of ischemic stroke-related datasets were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Next, we conducted weighted gene co-expression network analysis to determine cluster-specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Models such as random forest and eXtreme gradient boosting (XGB) were evaluated to select the best prediction performance model. Subsequently, we validated the model's predictive efficiency by using nomograms, decision curve analysis, calibration curves, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis with an external dataset. We identified two cuproptosis-related clusters involved in ischemic stroke. The DEGs in Cluster 2 were closely associated with amino acid metabolism, various immune responses, and cell proliferation pathways. The XGB model showed lower residuals, a smaller root mean square error, and a greater area under the curve value (AUC = 0.923), thus exhibiting the best discriminative performance. The AUC value for the external validation dataset was 0.921, thus confirming the high performance of the model. NFE2L2, NLRP3, GLS, LIPT1, and MTF1 were identified as potential cuproptosis predictors, thus shedding new light on ischemic stroke pathogenesis and heterogeneity.

Abstract
In response to the persistent exposure to phage infection, bacteria have evolved diverse antiviral defense mechanisms. In this study, we report a bacterial two-component defense system consisting of a Sir2 NADase and a HerA helicase. Cryo-electron microscopy reveals that Sir2 and HerA assemble into a ∼1 MDa supramolecular octadecamer. Unexpectedly, this complex exhibits various enzymatic activities, including ATPase, NADase, helicase, and nuclease, which work together in a sophisticated manner to fulfill the antiphage function. Therefore, we name this defense system "Nezha" after a divine warrior in Chinese mythology who employs multiple weapons to defeat enemies. Our findings demonstrate that Nezha could sense phage infections, self-activate to arrest cell growth, eliminate phage genomes, and subsequently deactivate to allow for cell recovery. Collectively, Nezha represents a paradigm of sophisticated and multifaceted strategies bacteria use to defend against viral infections.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To mitigate tumor displacement caused by respiratory movement and to enhance positioning accuracy in liver cancer patients during radiotherapy, abdominal compression fixation devices are commonly employed. However, the efficacy of using surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT) to further improve patient setup accuracy in combination with abdominal compression has not been fully established. Hence, we aimed to investigate this in our study. MATERIALS/METHODS In this study, we analyzed data from 11 patients with liver cancer. The patients were positioned using isocentric skin markers and the abdominal compression fixture was placed on an accurate scale reading based on the records from CT simulation. A cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan was performed to assess setup errors. These setup errors represent data for the control group - Skin marker group. The patients were then adjusted to the correct treatment position based on CBCT correction and the SGRT system was activated for monitoring. Care was taken for the region of interest drawn to avoid the abdominal compression device for all patients. The reference surface used for monitoring was the captured VRT surface rather than DICOM. The six degrees of freedom values detected by the SGRT system were recorded, representing data for the test group - SGRT group. Both sets of data were analyzed using statistical software. The errors were presented as median (interquartile range) and the differences between the two groups were tested using paired Wilcoxon rank sum test, with P < 0.05 considered as significant. RESULTS A total of 60 CBCT images were analyzed, the median values and interquartile ranges are presented in the Table. The results showed that the accuracy of the SGRT group in the x and y directions was significantly better than the skin marker group (P < 0.05). The median values for the x (transverse) direction were 0.25(0.09-0.43) cm and 0.09(0.05-0.19) cm for the skin marker and SGRT groups, respectively. The median values for the y (longitudinal) direction were 0.54 (0.29-0.79) cm and 0.14 (0.07-0.24) cm for the skin marker and SGRT groups, respectively. The results for the z (vertical) direction, Rz (rotation), Ry (roll) and Rx (pitch) rotation directions were also analyzed similarly. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that compared to skin markers, SGRT can improve the accuracy of patient positioning in liver cancer radiotherapy with abdominal compression, potentially reducing unnecessary radiation exposure from CBCT imaging due to inaccurate positioning. Further multicenter prospective clinical trials are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
In the spacer acquisition stage of CRISPR-Cas immunity, spacer orientation and protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) removal are two prerequisites for functional spacer integration. Cas4 has been implicated in both processing the prespacer and determining the spacer orientation. In Cas4-lacking systems, host 3'-5' DnaQ family exonucleases were recently reported to play a Cas4-like role. However, the molecular details of DnaQ functions remain elusive. Here, we characterized the spacer acquisition of the adaptation module of the Streptococcus thermophilus type I-E system, in which a DnaQ domain naturally fuses with Cas2. We presented X-ray crystal structures and cryo-electron microscopy structures of this adaptation module. Our biochemical data showed that DnaQ trimmed PAM-containing and PAM-deficient overhangs with different efficiencies. Based on these results, we proposed a time-dependent model for DnaQ-mediated spacer acquisition to elucidate PAM removal and spacer orientation determination in Cas4-lacking CRISPR-Cas systems.

Abstract
The two most commonly used airway management techniques during general anaesthesia are supraglottic airway devices and tracheal tubes. In older patients undergoing elective non-cardiothoracic surgery under general anaesthesia with positive pressure ventilation, we hypothesised that a composite measure of in-hospital postoperative pulmonary complications would be less frequent when a supraglottic airway device was used compared with a tracheal tube. We studied patients aged ≥ 70 years in 17 clinical centres. Patients were allocated randomly to airway management with a supraglottic airway device or a tracheal tube. Between August 2016 and April 2020, 2900 patients were studied, of whom 2751 were included in the primary analysis (1387 with supraglottic airway device and 1364 with a tracheal tube). Pre-operatively, 2431 (88.4%) patients were estimated to have a postoperative pulmonary complication risk index of 1-2. Postoperative pulmonary complications, mostly coughing, occurred in 270 of 1387 patients (19.5%) allocated to a supraglottic airway device and 342 of 1364 patients (25.1%) assigned to a tracheal tube (absolute difference -5.6% (95%CI -8.7 to -2.5), risk ratio 0.78 (95%CI 0.67-0.89); p < 0.001). Among otherwise healthy older patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia with intra-operative positive pressure ventilation of their lungs, there were fewer postoperative pulmonary complications when the airway was managed with a supraglottic airway device compared with a tracheal tube.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic subjective tinnitus has become an increasingly serious hazard that affects the health-related quality of life for millions of people. Due to the lack of curative treatment strategies, this study aims to introduce a novel acoustic therapy named the modified tinnitus relieving sound (MTRS) for tinnitus and to evaluate the efficacy of MTRS in comparison with unmodified music (UM) which served as a control. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A randomized, double-blinded, controlled, clinical trial will be carried out. Sixty-eight patients with subjective tinnitus will be recruited and randomly allocated into two groups in 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is Tinnitus Handicapped Inventory (THI); the secondary outcomes are the Hospital Anxiety and Distress Scale (HADS; HADS subscales for Anxiety (HADS-A) and Depression (HADS-D)), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), the visual analog scale (VAS) for tinnitus, and tinnitus loudness matched by sensation level (SL). Assessment will be performed at baseline and at 1, 3, 9, and 12 months post-randomization. The sound stimulus will be persistent until 9 months after randomization, and be interdictory in the last three months. Data collected during the intervention process will be analyzed and compared to baseline. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial received ethical approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University (No. 2017048). The study results will be disseminated via academic journals and conferences. FUNDING This study is supported by the Shanghai Shenkang Development Program (SHDC12019119), the Excellent Doctors-Excellent Clinical Researchers Program (SYB202008), the Shanghai Rising-Star Program (23QC1401200), the Shanghai Rising Stars of Medical Talent Youth Development Program (2021-99), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (81800912), and the National Natural Science Foundation of Shanghai (21ZR1411800).

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of inhibiting protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in cisplatin-induced hearing loss. The effects of PRMT5 inhibition on cisplatin-induced auditory injury were determined using immunohistochemistry, apoptosis assays, and auditory brainstem response. The mechanism of PRMT5 inhibition on hair cell survival was assessed using RNA-seq and Cleavage Under Targets and Tagment-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (CUT&Tag-qPCR) analyses in the HEI-OC1 cell line. Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT5 significantly alleviated cisplatin-induced damage to hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea and decreased apoptosis by protecting mitochondrial function and preventing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. CUT&Tag-qPCR analysis demonstrated that inhibition of PRMT5 in HEI-OC1 cells reduced the accumulation of H4R3me2s/H3R8me2s marks at the promoter region of the Pik3ca gene, thus activating the expression of Pik3ca. These findings suggest that PRMT5 inhibitors have strong potential as agents against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and can lay the foundation for further research on treatment strategies of hearing loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kdm6b, a specific histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase, has been reported to be implicated in a variety of developmental processes including cell differentiation and cell fate determination and multiple organogenesis. Here, we regulated the transcript level of kdm6bb to study the potential role in controlling the hearing organ development of zebrafish. METHODS A morpholino antisense oligonucleotide (MO) strategy was used to induce Kdm6b deficiency; immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization analysis were conducted to figure out the morphologic alterations and embryonic mechanisms. RESULTS Kdm6bb is expressed in the primordium and neuromasts at the early stage of zebrafish embryogenesis, suggesting a potential function of Kdm6b in the development of mechanosensory organs. Knockdown of kdm6bb severely influences the cell migration and proliferation in posterior lateral line primordium, abates the number of neuromasts along the trunk, and mRNA-mediated rescue test can partially renew the neuromasts. Loss of kdm6bb might be related to aberrant expressions of chemokine genes encompassing cxcl12a and cxcr4b/cxcr7b in the migrating primordium. Moreover, inhibition of kdm6bb reduces the expression of genes in Fgf signaling pathway, while it increases the axin2 and lef1 expression level of Wnt/β-catenin signaling during the migrating stage. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our results revealed that Kdm6b plays an essential role in guiding the migration of primordium and in regulating the deposition of zebrafish neuromasts by mediating the gene expression of chemokines and Wnt and Fgf signaling pathway. Since histone methylation and demethylation are reversible, targeting Kdm6b may present as a novel therapeutic regimen for hearing disorders.

Abstract
Juvenile hormone (JH) plays a crucial endocrine regulatory role in insect metamorphosis, reproduction, and longevity in multiple organisms, such as flies, honeybees, and migratory monarch butterflies. However, the molecular mechanism of JH affecting longevity remains largely unknown. In this study, we showed that JH III and its analog methoprene shortened the survival days significantly in the adulthood of male silkworm. At the same time, the allatostatin, a neuropeptide that inhibits the secretion of JH by the corpora allata, could extend the survival days dramatically after adult eclosion in male silkmoth. Interestingly, a central pro-longevity FoxO transcription factor was reduced upon JH stimulation in silkworm individuals and BmN-SWU1 cells. Furthermore, the analysis of the upstream sequence of the FoxO gene identified a JH response element which suggested that FoxO might be regulated as a target of JH. Surprisingly, we identified a Bmtakeout (BmTO) gene that encodes a JH-binding protein and contains a FoxO response element. As expected, FoxO overexpression and knockdown up- and down-regulated the expression of BmTO respectively, indicating that BmTO functions as a FoxO target. BmTO overexpression could release the inhibitory effect of JH on the BmFoxO gene by reducing JH bioavailability to block its signal transduction. Collectively, these results may provide insights into the mechanism of the JH-FoxO-TO axis in aging research and pest control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tinnitus is a highly prevalent hearing disorder, and the burden of tinnitus diagnosis and treatment is very heavy, especially in China. In order to better benefit the majority of tinnitus patients, we developed a new mobile app based on our patented invention - named the Fudan Tinnitus Relieving System (FTRS) - for tinnitus management. The FTRS app aims to alleviate patients' tinnitus symptoms using customized sound therapy, to evaluate the treatment effect, to provide a doctor-patient communication platform, and to support tinnitus rehabilitation and auditory health. METHODS In this study, we introduced the major functions of the FTRS app, analyzed the geographical distribution of users around China, and performed an analysis on the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with tinnitus, including age and tinnitus position, duration, frequency, and severity in both men and women based on the user information collected by the FTRS. The data for 22,867 participants (males: 13,715; females: 9,152) were included in the statistical analysis. RESULTS The FTRS app has been popular with tinnitus patients since its launch in May 2018 with its integrated pitch-matching test, individualized sound therapy, follow-up assessment, and provision of easy-to-understand science and education for tinnitus. The users were located throughout Mainland China but primarily concentrated in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Shandong provinces. We observed gender differences regarding age and tinnitus frequency, severity, and position among the app's users. The FTRS has not only facilitated patients' access to treatment at times and places that are convenient for them, but also provides a large amount of data based on user feedback in order to support clinical tinnitus research. CONCLUSIONS Compared with traditional face-to-face medical treatment, the FTRS greatly reduced medical costs and enabled patients with tinnitus to arrange their own treatment times. At the same time, the FTRS has provided standardized tinnitus data that have laid a foundation for clinical research on tinnitus. However, because of differences in the popularity and utilization of smart devices, FTRS user data might only reflect the situation of tinnitus patients who can effectively use smart devices. Therefore, the findings of this study need to be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
In recent years, it has been established that atherosclerosis is an autoimmune disease. However, little is currently known about the role of FcγRIIA in atherosclerosis. Herein, we sought to investigate the relationship between FcγRIIA genotypes and the effectiveness of different IgG subclasses in treating atherosclerosis. We constructed and produced different subtypes of IgG and Fc-engineered antibodies. In vitro, we observed the effect of different subtypes of IgG and Fc-engineered antibodies on the differentiation of CD14+ monocytes from patients or healthy individuals. In vivo, Apoe-/- mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks and administered injections of different CVI-IgG subclasses or Fc-engineered antibodies. Flow cytometry was used to assess the polarization of monocytes and macrophages. Although CVI-IgG4 reduced the release of MCP-1 compared to the other subtypes, IgG4 did not yield an anti-inflammatory effect by induction of human monocyte and macrophage differentiation in vitro. Furthermore, genetic polymorphisms of FcγRIIA were not associated with different CVI-IgG subclasses during the treatment of atherosclerosis. In vivo, CVI-IgG1 decreased Ly6Chigh monocyte differentiation and promoted M2 macrophage polarization. We also found that the secretion of IL-10 was upregulated in the CVI-IgG1-treated group, whereas V11 and GAALIE exerted no significant effect. These findings highlight that IgG1 is the optimal subtype for treating atherosclerosis, and CVI-IgG1 can induce monocyte/macrophage polarization. Overall, these results have important implications for the development of therapeutic antibodies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a lipid imbalance-induced autoimmune disease. Macrophages participate in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Although numerous studies have utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to identify the role of various macrophage phenotypes in atherosclerosis, the macrophage subpopulations that have therapeutic benefits against atherosclerosis are not fully understood. METHODS In this study, a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis was performed on the F4/80+ macrophages of apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice on a normal diet (ND), a high-fat diet (HFD), and a high-fat diet (HFD) with collagen VI monoclonal antibodies (CVI-mAb) treatment. A population of M2-like macrophages expressing the hyaluronan receptor Lyve1 was almost exclusively detectable in Apoe-/- mice on an HFD with CVI-mAb treatment, compared with other groups. Differential gene expression and gene ontology enrichment analyses revealed specific gene expression patterns that distinguished this macrophage subset and uncovered its functions. RESULTS Lyve1+ M2 macrophages appear to have specialized functions in lipid metabolism. Lyve1+ M2-like macrophages were sorted via fluorescence- activated cell sorting (FACS) and adoptively transferred to Apoe-/- mice fed an HFD. CONCLUSION Our result showed that Lyve1+ M2 macrophages could reduce the plaque areas in Apoe-/- mice.

Abstract
Overnutrition is a risk factor for various human diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancers. Therefore, targeting overnutrition represents a simple but attractive strategy for the treatment of these increasing public health threats. Fasting as a dietary intervention for combating overnutrition has been extensively studied. Fasting has been practiced for millennia, but only recently have its roles in the molecular clock, gut microbiome, and tissue homeostasis and function emerged. Fasting can slow aging in most species and protect against various human diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancers. These centuried and unfading adventures and explorations suggest that fasting has the potential to delay aging and help prevent and treat diseases while minimizing side effects caused by chronic dietary interventions. In this review, recent animal and human studies concerning the role and underlying mechanism of fasting in physiology and pathology are summarized, the therapeutic potential of fasting is highlighted, and the combination of pharmacological intervention and fasting is discussed as a new treatment regimen for human diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) combined with autologous Meek microskin transplantation on patients with extensive burns. Methods: The prospective self-controlled study was conducted. From May 2019 to June 2022, 16 patients with extensive burns admitted to the 990th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force met the inclusion criteria, while 3 patients were excluded according to the exclusion criteria, and 13 patients were finally selected, including 10 males and 3 females, aged 24-61 (42±13) years. A total of 20 trial areas (40 wounds, with area of 10 cm×10 cm in each wound) were selected. Two adjacent wounds in each trial area were divided into hUCMSC+gel group applied with hyaluronic acid gel containing hUCMSCs and gel only group applied with hyaluronic acid gel only according to the random number table, with 20 wounds in each group. Afterwards the wounds in two groups were transplanted with autologous Meek microskin grafts with an extension ratio of 1∶6. In 2, 3, and 4 weeks post operation, the wound healing was observed, the wound healing rate was calculated, and the wound healing time was recorded. The specimen of wound secretion was collected for microorganism culture if there was purulent secretion on the wound post operation. In 3, 6, and 12 months post operation, the scar hyperplasia in wound was assessed using the Vancouver scar scale (VSS). In 3 months post operation, the wound tissue was collected for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining to observe the morphological changes and for immunohistochemical staining to observe the positive expressions of Ki67 and vimentin and to count the number of positive cells. Data were statistically analyzed with paired samples t test and Bonferronni correction. Results: In 2, 3, and 4 weeks post operation, the wound healing rates in hUCMSC+gel group were (80±11)%, (84±12)%, and (92±9)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (67±18)%, (74±21)%, and (84±16)% in gel only group (with t values of 4.01, 3.52, and 3.66, respectively, P<0.05). The wound healing time in hUCMSC+gel group was (31±11) d, which was significantly shorter than (36±13) d in gel only group (t=-3.68, P<0.05). The microbiological culture of the postoperative wound secretion specimens from the adjacent wounds in 2 groups was identical, with negative results in 4 trial areas and positive results in 16 trial areas. In 3, 6, and 12 months post operation, the VSS scores of wounds in gel only group were 7.8±1.9, 6.7±2.1, and 5.4±1.6, which were significantly higher than 6.8±1.8, 5.6±1.6, and 4.0±1.4 in hUCMSC+gel group, respectively (with t values of -4.79, -4.37, and -5.47, respectively, P<0.05). In 3 months post operation, HE staining showed an increase in epidermal layer thickness and epidermal crest in wound in hUCMSC+gel group compared with those in gel only group, and immunohistochemical staining showed a significant increase in the number of Ki67 positive cells in wound in hUCMSC+gel group compared with those in gel only group (t=4.39, P<0.05), with no statistically significant difference in the number of vimentin positive cells in wound between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: The application of hyaluronic acid gel containing hUCMSCs to the wound is simple to perform and is therefore a preferable route. Topical application of hUCMSCs can promote healing of the autologous Meek microskin grafted area in patients with extensive burns, shorten wound healing time, and alleviate scar hyperplasia. The above effects may be related to the increased epidermal thickness and epidermal crest, and active cell proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 10-15% of 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSDs) have an SRY mutation residing in the high mobility group (HMG) domain. Here, we present a case of 46,XY DSD caused by a novel missense mutation in the HMG region of SRY rapidly progressing to germ cell tumors (GCTs). CASE PRESENTATION An adolescent female (15 years old) exhibiting primary amenorrhea was later diagnosed as a 46,XY female with bilateral gonadal dysplasia on the basis of peripheral lymphocyte karyotype 46,XY and a novel missense mutation in SRY (c.281 T > G, p.L94R). The novel missense mutation (c.281 T > G, p.L94R) and its adjacent region were conserved. Protein structure analysis showed that the mutant site was located in the middle of the HMG domain, and the mutant protein had a diminished ability to bind to DNA. Imaging examination revealed an adolescent female with a naive uterus. Laparoscopy and initial pathological examination revealed left gonadal dysplasia and right gonadal dysplasia with gonadoblastoma (GB). Right gonadectomy by laparoscopy was performed upon consent from the patient's parents. Less than 1 year postoperatively, the left gonadal gland deteriorated as observed by the findings of a mass in the left adnexal region by pelvic MRI and serum AFP > 1000 ng/ml by serological tests, and then total hysterectomy and adnexal and left gonadectomy by laparoscopy were performed. The GCT stage was classified as stage Ic according to FIGO. At this time, pathologic examination showed that the left gonad had progressed to yolk sac tumor and dysgerminoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy post-operatively but developed type III myelosuppression and tumor recurrence several months later. CONCLUSIONS The patient initially presented with right gonadoblastoma but chose only right gonadectomy by laparoscopy to preserve the female sex characteristics, which resulted in rapid deterioration of the left gonad and poor treatment outcomes. This case demonstrates the importance of early genetic diagnosis and treatment of 46,XY female DSD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess whether objectively measured hearing loss and self-perceived hearing handicap in adults are independently associated with food insecurity, and vice versa. DESIGN Cross-sectional population-based study. POPULATION 2,500 participants aged 50+ years from the Blue Mountains Hearing Study, with both complete pure-tone audiometry data and information on food security status. MEASUREMENTS The pure-tone average of frequencies 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz (PTA0.5-4KHz) >25 dB HL in the better ear, established the presence of hearing loss. Self-perceived hearing handicap was assessed by administering the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Elderly Screening (HHIE-S total scores of ≥8 indicates hearing handicap). A 12-item food security survey was administered, comprising statements related to individual and household food situations. RESULTS Food insecurity was reported by 12.8% of study participants. After adjusting for all potential confounders, any self-perceived hearing handicap significantly increased the likelihood of participants reporting food insecurity by 94% (p<0.0001). Participants reporting any, mild or severe self-perceived hearing handicap had around 2-fold greater odds of experiencing food insecurity. Objectively measured hearing loss did not significantly influence the food security status of study participants. Conversely, food insecurity was significantly associated with both objectively measured hearing loss and self-perceived hearing handicap: multivariate-adjusted OR 1.37 (95% CI 1.01-1.88) and OR 1.83 (95% CI 1.40-2.39), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Food insecurity was an important social determinant of hearing health among community-dwelling adults. Conversely, participants with a significant self-perceived hearing handicap were more likely to experience food insecurity. These findings add to our understanding of the substantial public health impact of both food insecurity and hearing loss and may highlight areas for future intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic subjective tinnitus poses significant challenges in clinical practice, and it is usually associated with hearing impairment, particularly with high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Patients suffering from tinnitus with SNHL experience one of the most severe sensory disabilities, and this has devastating effects on their quality of life. Nowadays, mild to moderate SNHL can be managed with a properly fitted hearing aid (HA) that provides sound amplification, and several studies suggest that HAs may also benefit those with tinnitus. However, inadequate attention has been paid by medical personnel to the impact of HA use in residual hearing protection for patients with tinnitus and coexisting SNHL, and existing evidence is still at a preliminary stage. This study aims to identify and evaluate the efficacy of the use of HAs in both sound perception and residual hearing preservation among patients with tinnitus and coexisting SNHL. METHODS AND DESIGN The present study is a prospective, single-center, outcome assessor and data analyst-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Eligible participants will be recruited and randomly allocated into the HA intervention group and the waiting list control group at a ratio of 1:1. The primary outcome is to evaluate the severity of tinnitus using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory as a continuous variable at 6 months from randomization. Secondary outcome measures include changes in hearing status and mental states. The trial will last 6 months, with follow-up visits at 3 months and 6 months. DISCUSSION This will be the first randomized, controlled trial to identify and evaluate HAs' efficacy on residual hearing preservation among tinnitus patients with coexisting high-frequency SNHL in China. We are aiming for novelty and generalizability, and strengths of this study are that it will examine the effectiveness of HA in patients with tinnitus and hearing impairment and will further explore the residual hearing protection provided by HA treatment in the tinnitus group. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05343026. Registered on April 25, 2022.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate a variety of physiological and pathological functions. miR-26a is one of the many miRNAs that have been identified as regulators of cancer development and as potential anticancer drug targets. However, the specific cellular and molecular mechanisms by which miR-26a attenuates hepatocarcinogenesis are still elusive. Here, we interrogated mouse models with miR-26a cell-specific overexpression in either hepatocytes or myeloid cells to show that miR-26a strongly attenuated the chemical-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). miR-26a overexpression broadly inhibited the inflammatory response in both hepatocytes and macrophages by decreasing several key oncogenic signaling pathways in HCC promotion. These findings thus reveal new insights into a concerted role of miR-26a in both hepatocytes and Kupffer cells to suppress hepatocarcinogenesis, thereby highlighting the potential use of miR-26a mimetics as potential approaches for the prevention and treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Cancer cells rely on heightened protein quality control mechanisms, including the ubiquitin-proteosome system that is predominantly driven by ubiquitination comprising E1, E2, and E3 trienzyme cascades. Although E3s have been extensively studied, the implication of E2s in tumorigenesis is poorly defined. Here we reveal a critical E2 in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Among all of E2s, UBE2O shows the strongest association with HCC survival prognosis, and its expression is increased in HCC tumors. Accordingly, UBE2O deficiency inhibits HCC growth and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo, while its overexpression has opposite effects. Depending on both E2 and E3 enzymatic activities, UBE2O can interact with and mediate the ubiquitination and degradation of HADHA, a mitochondrial β-oxidation enzyme, thereby modulating lipid metabolic reprogramming. HADHA is reduced in HCC tumors and inversely correlated with UBE2O levels. Importantly, HADHA acts as a tumor suppressor and primarily mediates UBE2O's function on HCC. Moreover, liver-specific deletion of Ube2o in mice are resistant to DEN-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, along with HADHA upregulation and reduced hepatic lipid accumulation. These data reveal UBE2O as a novel oncogenic driver for metabolic reprogramming and HCC development, highlighting the potential of targeting UBE2O/HADHA axis for HCC therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a survival prediction model based on the independent prognostic factors of long-term prognosis after laparoscopic liver resection(LLR) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 351 consecutive patients with ICC who received radical LLR in 13 Chinese medical centers from August 2010 to May 2021 were collected retrospectively. There were 190 males and 161 females,aged(M(IQR)) 61(14)years(range:23 to 93 years). The total cohort was randomly divided into a training dataset(264 cases) and a validation dataset(87 cases). The patients were followed up by outpatient service or telephone,and the deadline for follow-up was October 2021. Based on the training dataset,the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to screen the independent influencing factors of long-term prognosis to construct a Nomogram model. The Nomogram model's discrimination,calibration,and clinical benefit were evaluated through internal and external validation,and an assessment of the overall value of two groups was made through the use of a receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve. Results: There was no significant difference in clinical and pathological characteristics and long-term survival results between the training and validation datasets(all P>0.05). The multivariate Cox analysis showed that CA19-9,CA125,conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic surgery,and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for ICC patients after LLR(all P<0.05). The survival Nomogram was established based on the independent prognostic factors obtained from the above screening. The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of 1, 3 and 5-year overall survival rates of patients in the training dataset were 0.794(95%CI:0.721 to 0.867),0.728(95%CI:0.618 to 0.839) and 0.799(95%CI:0.670 to 0.928),and those in the validation dataset were 0.787(95%CI:0.660 to 0.915),0.831(95%CI:0.678 to 0.983) and 0.810(95%CI:0.639 to 0.982). Internal and external validation proved that the model exhibited a certain discrimination,calibration,and clinical applicability. Conclusion: The survival Nomogram model based on the independent influencing factors of long-term prognosis after LLR for ICC(including CA19-9,CA125,conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic surgery,and lymph node metastasis) exhibites a certain differentiation,calibration,and clinical practicability.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LLY-283, a selective inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), on a noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) mouse model and to identify a potential target for a therapeutic intervention against NIHL. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were used. The auditory brainstem response was measured 2 days after noise exposure. The apoptosis of hair cells (HCs) was detected by caspase-3/7 staining, whereas the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by 4-HNE staining. We demonstrated that the death of HCs and loss of cochlear synaptic ribbons induced by noise exposure could be significantly reduced by the presence of LLY-283. LLY-283 pretreatment before noise exposure notably decreased 4-HNE and caspase-3/7 levels in the cochlear HCs. We also noticed that the number of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) was notably increased after LLY-283 pretreatment. Furthermore, we showed that LLY-283 could increase the expression level of p-AKT in the SGNs. The underlying mechanism involves alleviation of ROS accumulation and activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, indicating that LLY-283 might be a potential candidate for therapeutic intervention against NIHL.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the species, distribution, and extent of drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in patients with liver cirrhosis combined with bacterial infection in a tertiary hospital in Xinjiang. Methods: 1 271 cases with liver cirrhosis combined with infection were analyzed retrospectively for pathogenic bacterial species and drug resistance condition in different bacterial strain. Results: Among the 1 271 cases with liver cirrhosis, 480 were combined with infection, and the infection rate was 37.8%. The majority of infected patients had decompensated cirrhosis (438 cases). Peritoneum (327 cases, 60.8%) was the common infection site, followed by lungs (16.9%). 343 strains of pathogens were isolated from 480 infected cases, of which 289 strains were among the top 10 common distinct bacteria, accounting for 76.5% and 23.5% of Gram-negative and positive bacteria. The first top three strains were Escherichia coli. (33.2%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.4%), and Enterococcus faecium (11.1%), and there were differences in the drug resistance rates of each strain. Conclusion: In a tertiary hospital in Xinjiang, patients with decompensated cirrhosis have a high rate of bacterial infection. The pathogenic bacteria are diverse, mainly Gram-negative bacteria; however, the infection rate of Gram-positive bacteria such as Enterococcus is gradually increasing. Additionally, according to the bacterial properties, they are divided into four categories: Enterobacter, Enterococcus, glucose non-fermenting bacteria and Staphylococcus, and it is found that even the same species of bacteria have different drug resistance rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tinnitus is highly prevalent in the population, but there are currently few effective therapeutic interventions. Mobile applications (apps) might be helpful in tinnitus diagnosis and treatment by offering sound or music tools as well as questionnaires. We assessed the efficacy of a free, publicly available smartphone app (Fudan Tinnitus Relieving System, FTRS) for self-management of tinnitus and related symptoms. METHODS Among a total of 3564 participants recruited primarily online, 2744 patients had complete information at baseline and were an average of 37 years old and were 59.84 % male. Web-administered self-report measures THI, HADS, AIS, and other multi-dimensional scales were conducted at baseline and at 1 month and 2 months following treatment. Data from 54 participants who completed continuous follow-up were used for the final efficacy analysis and longitudinal analysis. RESULTS Following the intent-to-treat principle, t-tests revealed that the distribution of patients and the tinnitus features of patients of different genders were heterogeneous. One-way ANOVA showed that after using the FTRS app, THI scores showed a decreasing trend (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION FTRS use resulted in significantly greater improvements in tinnitus and other outcomes relative to their baseline condition before treatment. Given the ubiquity of smartphones, FTRS may provide a wide-reaching and convenient public health intervention for individuals with tinnitus symptoms.

Abstract
Objective: To construct the geometric model of the pelvic floor by a two-dimensional equivalent mechanics method, and to explore the effect of the shape and position of pelvic floor organs and tissues on the biomechanical properties of the pelvic floor under different abdominal pressure. Methods: A 28-year-old healthy and symmetrical married infertile female volunteer was included. The pelvic floor tissue was scanned in the supine position using a 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner (Philips Company, Holland). Based on the method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) two-dimensional parameter measurement and computer aided design, the geometric model and finite element model of the female pelvic floor were established, and the biomechanical characteristics of the pelvic floor support system under different abdominal pressure were analyzed. Results: In this study, four different working conditions of the pelvic floor force were simulated under 60, 99, 168, and 208 cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) abdominal pressure loads. The trend was as follows: under the abdominal pressure load, the retrograde flexion of the uterus occurred, the cervical, the middle and upper vaginal segment and the levator anus muscle had the characteristic change of mechanical axial direction pointing to the sacrum and coccyx, and the deformation of the levator anus muscle in the horizontal direction was greater than that in the vertical direction. With the increase of the abdominal pressure, the maximum stress values of the pelvic floor whole system of healthy subjects under four different working conditions were 0.194 3, 0.389 6, 0.557 1, and 0.627 5 MPa, respectively, and the maximum displacement values were 10, 14, 21 and 25 mm, respectively. The maximum stress values of the cervical and vaginal middle and upper segment were 0.111 7, 0.161 8, 0.250 6, and 0.304 1 MPa, respectively, and the maximum displacement values were 3, 6, 9, and 11 mm, respectively. The maximum stress of the perineal body was 0.063 4, 0.119 6, 0.235 2, and 0.288 0 MPa, and the maximum displacement was 1, 2, 4, and 5 mm. The maximum stress values of the levator anus muscle were 0.194 3, 0.389 6, 0.557 1, and 0.627 5 MPa, and the maximum displacement values were 2, 4, 7, and 8 mm, respectively. The maximum stress and maximum displacement of pelvic organs increased with the increase of the abdominal pressure under different working conditions. The stress axial relationship of normal female pelvic floor was that the middle and upper segment of uterus and vagina mainly acted on the sacrococcyx and the levator anus muscle, and the lower vaginal segment acts on the perineal body. Conclusions: The two-dimensional equivalent mechanical modeling and finite element analysis of the female pelvic floor system can accurately reflect the biomechanical characteristics of the female pelvic floor, and the resultant stress direction of the pelvic organs points to the sacrum and coccyx. The sacrum and coccyx, levator anus and perineal body play important stress supporting roles in the pelvic floor system.

Abstract
China is one of the countries with high biodiversity on the globe, but suffers extreme biodiversity loss due to the increasingly interconnected economy. Understanding the nation-level public awareness of biodiversity under economic trades is crucial for implementing sustainable production and consumption of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study is the first to assess the public awareness of biodiversity loss associated with China's interprovincial trades by utilizing social media data and the multiregion input-output (MRIO) table. Results show that China's interprovincial trades cause heavy threats not only to local species but to distant species. Approximately 60% of provinces displace over half of their consumption-based biodiversity threats to other provinces. Nevertheless, individuals do not clearly realize their responsibility for the distant biodiversity they consumed, with a large mismatch both in popularity (Gini index = 0.51, Robin index = 39.57) and donation (Gini index = 0.69, Robin index = 54.58). To alleviate this phenomenon, our analysis suggests that the expansion of national-level nature reserves may be effectively beneficial to public biodiversity awareness, showing significantly positive partial correlation coefficients with individuals' popularity and donations. These insights provided by this study offer targeted information for conservation and call for synergistic collaboration between the civil society, especially consumers, and governments to turn the tide of biodiversity loss.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application values of right atrial (RA) volume, myocardial strain and strain rate in evaluating right atrial functions in patients with essential hypertension (EHT) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: We retrospectively collected a total of 126 EHT patients with normal LVEF, including 66 males and 60 females, age from 18 to 83(48±15) years from the Affiliated Changzhou No.2 People's Hospital with Nanjing Medical University from March, 2018 to May, 2020. According to the left ventricular mass index, those patients were divided into without left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH) group (n=66) and LVH group (n=60), and 83 healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group, which including 42 males and 41 females, age from 14 to 88 (48±16) years. The total, passive and active RA emptying fraction (total RAEF, passive RAEF and active RAEF) were measured by using RA volumes method. The RA strain (S-reservoir, S-conduit, S-booster pump) and the strain rate (SR-reservoir, SR-conduit, SR-booster pump) were measured by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. Total RAEF, S-reservoir, and Sr-reservoir represented the reservoir function, while passive RAEF, S-conduit, and Sr-conduit represented the conduit function, and active RAEF, S-booster pump and Sr-booster pump represented the booster pump function, respectively. Than the values between the EHT patients and normal subjects, and the values among the EHT patients without LVH, EHT patients without LVH and normal subjects were compared. Results: The value of active RAEF was significantly lower in EHT patient than normal controls (40.1%±10.5% vs 45.4%±11.1%,P=0.001). There were significant differences among EHT patients without LVH, EHT patients with LVH and normal subjects in passive RAEF and active RAEF (passive RAEF: 40.2%±9.3% vs 36.4%±10.7% vs 36.5%±9.4%, P=0.038, active RAEF: 39.8%±10.6% vs 40.4%±10.4% vs 45.4%±11.1%, P=0.002). There were significant differences in S-reservoir, S-conduit, S-booster pump, SR-reservoir, SR-conduit and SR-booster pump between EHT patients and normal subjects [S-reservoir: 34.8%±13.7% vs 45.0%±13.3%, S-conduit: 18.3%±9.4% vs 26.5%±9.6%, S-booster pump: 16.4%±7.3% vs 18.6%±7.1%, SR-reservoir: (1.6±0.6)/s vs (2.0±0.6)/s, SR-conduit: (-1.2±0.5)/s vs (-1.6±0.6)/s, SR-booster pump: (-1.7±0.6)/s vs (-2.3±0.6)/s; all P<0.05]. The trend tests showed normal controls achieved the largest the absolute values of S-reservoir, S-conduit, SR-reservoir, SR-conduit, SR-booster pump, followed by EHT patients without LVH and EHT patients with LVH(all P<0.001). Conclusions: Using RA volume, myocardial strain and strain rate can detect the RA impaired reservoir, conduit, and the booster pump functions in EHT patients with normal LVEF, and the RA functions were damaged more significantly in EHT patients with LVH.

Abstract
Cingulin, a cytoplasmic element of tight junctions (TJs), is involved in maintenance of the integrity of epithelial and endothelial cells. However, the role of cingulin in the development of auditory organs remains unclear. Zebrafish is popular as a model organism for hearing research. Using the whole mount in situ hybridization (WISH) experiment, we detected the expression of cingulin b in the posterior lateral line system (PLLs) of zebrafish. We traced the early development progress of zebrafish PLLs from 36 hpf to 72 hpf, and found that inhibition of cingulin b by target morpholinos resulted in severe developmental obstruction, including decreased number of neuromasts, reduced proliferative cells in the primordium, and repressed hair cell differentiation in the neuromasts. To examine the potential mechanism of cingulin b in the development of zebrafish PLL neuromasts, we performed RNA-seq analysis to compare the differently expressed genes (DEGs) between cingulin b knockdown samples and the controls. The KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that MAPK signaling pathway and cellular senescence were the key pathways with most DEGs in cingulin b-MO morphants compared to the Control-MO embryos. Furthermore, quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirmed the findings by RNA-seq that the transcript levels of cell cycle negative regulators such as tp53 and cdkn1a, were remarkably upregulated after inhibition of cingulin b. Our results therefore indicated an important role of cingulin b in the development of auditory organs, and MAPK signaling pathway was inhibited while cellular senescence pathway was activated after downregulation of cingulin b. We bring forward new insights of cingulin by exploring its function in auditory system.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy has been consistently associated with a higher incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Previous studies mainly focused on the effects of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy on pregnant mothers and fetuses, and few studies reported the postpartum growth and development of fetuses in pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate impact of maternal serum total bile acid levels on maternal and neonatal outcomes as well as child growth and food allergy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective longitudinal cohort investigation was carried out among 751 pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy at 30-32 weeks of gestation from the Longitudinal Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy Study (LoICPS). Data on the characteristics of the mothers and neonates were collected. Infant growth data and food sensitivities were also collected. RESULTS In our cohort, the average maternal serum total bile acid level was 35.09±30.02 μmol/L, with 58.8% of mothers suffering from mild intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and 29.2% suffering from severe intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Positive correlations were found between maternal serum total bile acid levels and twin pregnancy (beta-value: 11.55, 95% CI: 2.89 - 20.20. P = 0.009) and meconium stained amniotic fluid (beta-value: 14.64, 95% CI: 9.41 - 19.87. P < 0.001). In addition, the infants of mothers with severe intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy were more likely to be allergic to foods at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that despite pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy taking ursodeoxycholic acid tablets and cesarean section before expected date of childbirth, the perinatal outcome of newborns partially improving, the incidence of infantile food allergy was still increased.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease of the intestinal epithelium and ranks the third largest diagnosed malignancy in the world. Many studies have shown that the high risk of CRC is believed to be related to the formation of biofilms. To prove causation, it will be significant to decipher which specific bacteria in biofilms initiate and maintain CRC and fully describe their underlying mechanisms. Here we introduce a bacterial driver-passenger model. This model added a novel and compelling angle to the role of microorganisms, putting more emphasis on the transformation of bacterial composition in biofilms which play different roles in the development of CRC. In this model, bacterial drivers can initiate the formation of CRC through genotoxicity, while bacterial passengers maintain the CRC process through metabolites. On the basis of these pathogens, we further turned our attention to strategies that can inhibit and eradicate these pathogenic biofilms, with the aim of finding new ways to hinder colorectal carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common digestive disease without specific treatment, and its pathogenesis features multiple deleterious amplification loops dependent on translation, triggered by cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) overload; however, the underlying mechanisms in Ca2+ overload of AP remains incompletely understood. Here we show that microRNA-26a (miR-26a) inhibits pancreatic acinar cell (PAC) store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) channel expression, Ca2+ overload, and AP. We find that major SOCE channels are post-transcriptionally induced in PACs during AP, whereas miR-26a expression is reduced in experimental and human AP and correlated with AP severity. Mechanistically, miR-26a simultaneously targets Trpc3 and Trpc6 SOCE channels and attenuates physiological oscillations and pathological elevations of [Ca2+]i in PACs. MiR-26a deficiency increases SOCE channel expression and [Ca2+]i overload, and significantly exacerbates AP. Conversely, global or PAC-specific overexpression of miR-26a in mice ameliorates pancreatic edema, neutrophil infiltration, acinar necrosis, and systemic inflammation, accompanied with remarkable improvements on pathological determinants related with [Ca2+]i overload. Moreover, pancreatic or systemic administration of an miR-26a mimic to mice significantly alleviates experimental AP. These findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism underlying AP pathogenesis, establish a critical role for miR-26a in Ca2+ signaling in the exocrine pancreas, and identify a potential target for the treatment of AP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with early American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)-stage melanoma the combined loss of the autophagy regulatory protein AMBRA1 and the terminal differentiation marker loricrin in the peritumoral epidermis is associated with a significantly increased risk of metastasis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential contribution of melanoma paracrine transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signalling to the loss of AMBRA1 in the epidermis overlying the primary tumour and disruption of epidermal integrity. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was used to analyse AMBRA1 and TGF-β2 in a cohort of 109 AJCC all-stage melanomas, and TGF-β2 and claudin-1 in a cohort of 30 or 42 AJCC stage I melanomas, respectively, with known AMBRA1 and loricrin (AMLo) expression. Evidence of pre-ulceration was analysed in a cohort of 42 melanomas, with TGF-β2 signalling evaluated in primary keratinocytes. RESULTS Increased tumoral TGF-β2 was significantly associated with loss of peritumoral AMBRA1 (P < 0·05), ulceration (P < 0·001), AMLo high-risk status (P < 0·05) and metastasis (P < 0·01). TGF-β2 treatment of keratinocytes resulted in downregulation of AMBRA1, loricrin and claudin-1, while knockdown of AMBRA1 was associated with decreased expression of claudin-1 and increased proliferation of keratinocytes (P < 0·05). Importantly, we show loss of AMBRA1 in the peritumoral epidermis was associated with decreased claudin-1 expression (P < 0·05), parakeratosis (P < 0·01) and cleft formation in the dermoepidermal junction (P < 0·05). CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these data suggest a paracrine mechanism whereby TGF-β2 causes loss of AMBRA1 overlying high-risk AJCC early-stage melanomas and reduced epidermal integrity, thereby facilitating erosion of the epidermis and tumour ulceration.

Abstract
Objectives To explore the role of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) in the development of auditory system using zebrafish as experimental model. Methods Morpholino oligonucleotide was used to induce Dnmt1 deficiency. RNA sequencing, in situ hybridization (ISH), whole genomic bisulfide sequencing (WGBS) and immunostaining were used to investigate the morphologic alterations and mechanisms. Results We found that downregulation of Dnmt1 induced decreased number of neuromasts and repressed cell proliferation of primordium in the developing posterior lateral line system of zebrafish. The ISH data uncovered that Fgf signalling pathway was inhibited and the expression of chemokine members cxcr4b, cxcr7b and cxcl12a were interfered, while lef1 expression was increased after inhibiting Dnmt1. Additionally, Dnmt1 downregulation led to malformed otoliths and deformed semicircular canals, and hair cell differentiation in utricle and saccule was inhibited severely. The in situ staining of otic placode markers pax2/5 and fgf 3/8/10 was decreased when Dnmt1 downregulated. The WGBS analysis demonstrated that the global methylation status was markedly downregulated, and cell cycle genes were among those most differently expressed between Dnmt1 morphants and the controls. Further ISH analysis confirmed the findings by RNA‐seq and WGBS assay that cdkn1a and tp53 were both upregulated after knockdown of Dnmt1. Conclusion Our results revealed that Dnmt1 is essential for the development of zebrafish auditory organ through regulating cell cycle genes together with Wnt and Fgf signalling pathways.

Abstract
Kif15, a kinesin family member, is powerful in the formation of bipolar spindles. There is emerging evidence indicating that Kif15 plays vital roles in influencing the growth of axons and interference with the progression of the tumor. However, the function of Kif15 in the auditory organs remains unknown. The Western blotting test was used to examine the effect of Kif15 downregulation by specific morpholino targeting Kif15 (Kif15-MO). The development of the inner ear and posterior lateral line (PLL) system in zebrafish was under continuous observation from spawns to 96 h postfertilization (hpf) to investigate the potential role of Kif15 in the auditory and vestibular system. We uncovered that Kif15 inhibition induced otic organ deformities in zebrafish, including malformed semicircular canals, abnormal number and location of otoliths, and reduced number of hair cells (HCs) both in utricle and saccule. Furthermore, a remarkable reduction in the number of PLL neuromasts was also explored in Kif15-MO morphants compared to the normal larvae. We also detected notably reduced activity in locomotion after Kif15 was knocked down. Additionally, we performed rescue experiments with co-injection of Kif15 mRNA and found that the Kif15 splicing MO-induced deformities in otic vesicle and PLL of zebrafish were successfully rescued, and the severely reduced locomotor activity caused by Kif15-MO was partially rescued compared to the control-MO (Con-MO) embryos. Our findings uncover that Kif15 is essential in the early development of auditory and vestibular organs using zebrafish as models.
