Abstract
Herein, we report a series of 5d transition metal (TM) single atoms supported on ZIS as promising catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction using first-principles calculations. The binding behaviors of TMs with the ZIS surface in single-atom catalyst formation are analysed using the adsorption energy (Eads), partial density of states (PDOS), charge density difference (CDD), and crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP). The TM@ZIS (TM = Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, and Pt) shows excellent hydrogen evolution performance with the Gibbs free energy (ΔGH*) values from -0.120 to 0.128 eV. The Tafel and Heyrovsky reaction mechanisms to drive H2 formation are also identified.

Abstract
Dmrt (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor) is a protein family of transcription factors implicated in sexual regulation. Dmrt proteins are widely conserved and known for their involvement in sex determination and differentiation across species, from invertebrates to humans. In this study, we identified a novel gene with a DM (doublesex/Mab-3)-domain gene in the river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, which we named MniDmrt1B due to its similarities and close phylogenetic relationship with Dmrt1B in Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Through amino acid alignments and structural predictions, we observed conservation and identified putative active sites within the DM domain. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that MniDmrt1B exhibited high expression levels in the testis, with consistently higher expression in males compared to females during development. Additionally, similar to other sex-regulated genes, the MniDmrt1B gene exhibited high expression levels during the sex differentiation-sensitive periods in M. nipponense. These results strongly indicated that MniDmrt1B probably plays an important role in testis development and sex differentiation in M. nipponense.

Abstract
Vanadium-based compounds are fantastic cathodes for aqueous zinc metal batteries due to the high specific capacity and excellent rate capability. Nevertheless, the practical application has been hampered by the dissolution of vanadium in traditional aqueous electrolytes owing to the strong polarity of water molecules. Herein, we propose a hybrid electrolyte made of Zn(ClO4)2 salt in tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4) and H2O solvents to upgrade the cycle life of Zn//K0.486V2O5 battery. The G4 jointly solvates with Zn2+ ions and replaces a portion of the H2O molecules in the Zn2+ solvation sheath. It forms a strong bond with H2O, reducing its activity, and significantly inhibiting vanadium dissolution and water-induced parasitic reaction. Consequently, the optimized electrolyte with H2O and G4 volume ratio of 5 : 5 enhances the cycling stability of Zn//K0.486V2O5 battery, enabling it to reach up to 600 cycles. In addition, the battery demonstrates a satisfactory reversible capacity of 475.7 mAh g-1 and excellent rate performance attributed to the moderate ionic conductivity (28.8 mS cm-1) of the hybrid electrolyte. Last but not least, in the optimized electrolyte, the symmetric Zn//Zn cells deliver a long cycling performance of 400 h, while the asymmetric Zn//Cu cells shows a high average coulombic efficiency of 97.4 %.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a crucial component of CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) in macroalgae. In Saccharina japonica, an important brown seaweed, 11 CAs, including 5 α-, 3 β-, and 3 γ-CAs, have been documented. Among them, one α-CA and one β-CA were localized in the periplasmic space, one α-CA was found in the chloroplast, and one γ-CA was situated in mitochondria. Notably, the known γ-CAs have predominantly been identified in mitochondria. In this study, we identified a chloroplastic γ-type CA, Sjγ-CA2, in S. japonica. Based on the reported amino acid sequence of Sjγ-CA2, the epitope peptide for monoclonal antibody production was selected as 165 Pro-305. After purification and specificity identification, anti-SjγCA2 monoclonal antibody was employed in immunogold electron microscopy. The results illustrated that Sjγ-CA2 was localized in the chloroplasts of both gametophytes and sporophytes of S. japonica. Subsequently, immunoprecipitation coupled with LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that Sjγ-CA2 mainly interacted with photosynthesis-related proteins. Moreover, the first 65 amino acids at N-terminal of Sjγ-CA2 was identified as the chloroplast transit peptide by the transient expression of GFP-SjγCA2 fused protein in tabacco. Real-time PCR results demonstrated an up-regulation of the transcription of Sjγ-CA2 gene in response to high CO2 concentration. These findings implied that Sjγ-CA2 might contribute to minimizing the leakage of CO2 from chloroplasts and help maintaining a high concentration of CO2 around Rubisco.

Abstract
Natural resistant starch (RS) in rice provides human health benefits, and its concentration in rice is influenced by the structure and physicochemical properties of starch. The native starch structures and physicochemical properties of three rice varieties, QR, BR58, and BR50, and their relationships to in vitro digestibility were studied. The starch granules in all three varieties were irregular or polyhedral in shape. There were a few oval granules and a few pinhole structures in QR, no oval granules but a higher number of pinholes in BR58, and no oval granules and pinholes in BR50. QR is a low-amylose (13.8 %), low-RS (0.2 %) variety. BR58 is a low-amylose (15.3 %), high-RS (6.5 %) variety. BR50 is a high-amylose (26.7 %), high-RS (8.3 %) variety. All three starches exhibited typical A-type diffraction patterns. Starch molecular weight, chain length distribution, starch branching degree, pasting capabilities, and thermal properties differed considerably between the rice starches. The RS contents of the rice starch varieties were positively correlated with AAC, Mw/Mn, Mz/Mn, peak 3, B, PTime, and Tp and negatively correlated with Mn, peak 2, DB, PV, and BD, according to Pearson's correlation analysis. These findings may be helpful for the breeding and development of high-RS rice varieties.

Abstract
Detecting transportation pipeline leakage points within chemical plants is difficult due to complex pathways, multi-dimensional survey points, and highly dynamic scenarios. However, hexapod robots' maneuverability and adaptability make it an ideal candidate for conducting surveys across different planes. The path-planning problem of hexapod robots in multi-dimensional environments is a significant challenge, especially when identifying suitable transition points and planning shorter paths to reach survey points while traversing multi-level environments. This study proposes a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-guided Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) approach, namely, the PSO-guided DDQN (PG-DDQN) algorithm, for solving this problem. The proposed algorithm incorporates the PSO algorithm to supplant the traditional random selection strategy, and the data obtained from this guided approach are subsequently employed to train the DDQN neural network. The multi-dimensional random environment is abstracted into localized maps comprising current and next level planes. Comparative experiments were performed with PG-DDQN, standard DQN, and standard DDQN to evaluate the algorithm's performance by using multiple randomly generated localized maps. After testing each iteration, each algorithm obtained the total reward values and completion times. The results demonstrate that PG-DDQN exhibited faster convergence under an equivalent iteration count. Compared with standard DQN and standard DDQN, reductions in path-planning time of at least 33.94% and 42.60%, respectively, were observed, significantly improving the robot's mobility. Finally, the PG-DDQN algorithm was integrated with sensors onto a hexapod robot, and validation was performed through Gazebo simulations and Experiment. The results show that controlling hexapod robots by applying PG-DDQN provides valuable insights for path planning to reach transportation pipeline leakage points within chemical plants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To enhance the retention times and therapeutic efficacy of paeoniflorin (PF), a liver-targeted drug delivery system has been developed using glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) as a ligand. SIGNIFICANCE The development and optimization of GA-modified PF liposomes (GPLs) have shown promising potential for targeted delivery to the liver, opening up new possibilities for liver disease treatment. METHODS This study aimed to identify the best prescriptions using single-factor experiments and response surface methodology. The formulation morphology was determined using transmission electron microscopy. Tissue distribution was observed through in vivo imaging, and pharmacokinetic studies were conducted. RESULTS The results indicated that GPLs, prepared using the thin film dispersion method and response surface optimization, exhibited well-dispersed and uniformly sized particles. The in vitro release rate of GPLs was slower compared to PF monomers, suggesting a sustained release effect. The liver-targeting ability of GA resulted in stronger fluorescence signals in the liver for targeted liposomes compared to non-targeted liposomes. Furthermore, pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that GPLs significantly prolonged the residence time of PF in the bloodstream, thereby contributing to prolonged efficacy. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that GPLs are more effective than PF monomers in terms of controlling drug release and delivering drugs to specific targets, highlighting the potential of PF as a liver-protective drug.

Abstract
Autophagy is implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We aimed to investigate whether the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 pathway affects the development of PAH by mediating autophagy. A PAH rat model was established using monocrotaline (MCT). Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were extracted, and the changes in proliferation, migration, autophagy, and oxidative stress were analyzed following overexpression or knockdown of p62. The impact of p62 on the symptoms of PAH rats was assessed by the injection of an adenovirus overexpressing p62. We found that the knockdown of p62 increased the proliferation and migration of PASMCs, elevating the oxidative stress of PASMCs and upregulating gene expression of NADPH oxidases. Co-IP assay results demonstrated that p62 interacted with Keap1. p62 knockdown enhanced Keap1 protein stability and Nrf2 ubiquitination. LC3II/I and ATG5 were expressed more often when p62 was knocked down. Treating with an inhibitor of autophagy reversed the impact of p62 knockdown on PASMCs. Nrf2 inhibitor treatment reduced the expression of Nrf2 and p62, while increasing the expression of Keap1, LC3II/I, and ATG5 in PASMCs. However, overexpressing p62 diminished mRVP, SPAP, and Fulton index in PAH rats and attenuated pulmonary vascular wall thickening. Overexpression of p62 also decreased the expression of Keap1, LC3II/I, and ATG5 and increased the nuclear expression of Nrf2 in PAH rats. Importantly, overexpression of p62 reduced oxidative stress and the NADPH oxidase expression in PAH rats. Overall, activation of the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 positive feedback signaling axis reduces the proliferation and migration of PASMCs and alleviates PAH by inhibiting autophagy and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Objective: Based on real-world research, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and economy of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) and recombinant human interleukin 11 (rhIL-11) in the treatment of cancer therapy induced thrombocytopenia (CTIT). Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical data of patients with CTIT who were treated with rhTPO or rhIL-11 in a single cancer hospital from January 2020 to December 2021. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to eliminate confounding factors. The measurements of effectiveness analysis were the platelet compliance rate, days of medication, days of compliance, highest platelet count after medication, platelet count elevation before and after medication, and the lowest platelet count after next-cycle cancer therapy. The economic evaluation was performed according to the results of the effectiveness evaluation. At the same time, patients were stratified according to type of tumor and grade of thrombocytopenia for subgroup analysis. Results: A total of 262 patients were collected and 174 patients were enrolled after PSM, 87 in the rhTPO group and 87 in the rhIL-11 group. In all patients, there were no significant differences in the platelet compliance rate, mean days of medication, median days of compliance, median highest platelet count after medication, and the median platelet count elevation before and after medication between the two groups (p > 0.05), but the median lowest platelet count after next-cycle cancer therapy in the rhTPO group was lower than that in the rhIL-11 group (p = 0.014). The subgroup analysis showed that the rhTPO group had longer mean days of medication than the rhIL-11 group in patients with hematological malignancies (p = 0.042), and a lower median lowest platelet count after next-cycle cancer therapy in patients with grade I/II thrombocytopenia than rhIL-11 group (p = 0.022), with no significant difference in other outcome indicators (p > 0.05). As there was no statistically significant difference in platelet compliance rate between the two groups, the cost-minimization analysis showed that the rhIL-11 group had lower treatment costs than the rhTPO group. Conclusion: RhTPO and rhIL-11 showed similar effectiveness in the treatment of CTIT, but rhIL-11 was more advantageous in economic cost.

Abstract
Macrobrachium nipponense is gonochoristic and sexually dimorphic. The male prawn grows faster and usually has a larger size than the female. Therefore, a higher male proportion in stock usually results in higher yield. To investigate the impact of temperature on sexual differentiation in M. nipponense, two temperature treatments (26 °C and 31 °C) were conducted. The results showed that compared to the 31 °C treatment (3.20 ± 0.12), the 26 °C treatment displayed a lower female/male ratio (2.20 ± 0.11), which implied that a lower temperature could induce masculinization in M. nipponense. The temperature-sensitive sex differentiation phase was 25-35 days post hatching (DPH) at 26 °C while 15-20 DPH at 31 °C. Transcriptome and qPCR analysis revealed that a lower temperature up-regulated the expression of genes related to androgen secretion, and down-regulated the expressions of genes related to oogonia differentiation. Thirty-one temperature-regulated sex-differentiation genes were identified and the molecular mechanism of temperature-regulated sex differentiation was suggested. The finding of this study indicates that temperature regulation can be proposed as an innovative strategy for improving the culture yield of M. nipponense.

Abstract
An intriguingly high abundance of both ThC13+ and UC13+ cluster cations was observed in a previous mass spectrometry experiment; however, the structural identification of these cations has not yet been completed. In this study, we determined the lowest lying structures of ThC13+ and UC13+ clusters using an unbiased structural search method. The 13-coordinate planar ring configuration was the most stable for both ThC13+ and UC13+ cluster cations. The C-An bonds in ThC13+ and UC13+ show a small degree of covalency, originating from the overlap of the s, d, and f orbitals of the An atoms with C 2p orbitals of both π and σ characteristics. The infrared and electronic absorption spectra of the most favorable planar ring configurations were theoretically simulated to facilitate the identification of the molecular structures in future experiments. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the experimental mass spectra.

Abstract
Designing bifunctional electrocatalysts with outstanding reactivity and durability towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has remained a long-term aim for metal-air batteries. Achieving the high level of fusion between two distinct metal components to form bifunctional catalysts with optimized heterointerfaces and well-defined morphology holds noteworthy implications in the enhancement of electrocatalytic activity yet challenging. Herein, the fabrication of numerous heterointerfaces of CoN/MnO is successfully realized within ultrathin carbon nanosheets via a feasible self-templating synthesis strategy. Experimental results and theoretic calculations verify that the interfacial electron transfer from CoN to MnO at the heterointerface engenders an ameliorated charge transfer velocity, finely tuned energy barriers concerning reaction intermediates and ultimately accelerated reaction kinetics. The as-prepared CoN/MnO@NC demonstrates exceptional bifunctional catalytic performance, excelling in both OER and ORR showcasing a low reversible overpotential of 0.69 V. Furthermore, rechargeable liquid and quasi-solid-state flexible Zn-air batteries employing CoN/MnO@NC as the air-cathode deliver remarkable endurance and elevated power density, registering values of 153 and 116 mW cm-2 respectively and exceeding Pt/C + RuO2 counterparts and those reported in literature. Deeply exploring the effect of electron-accumulated heterointerfaces on catalytic activity would contribute wisdom to the development of bifunctional electrocatalysts for rechargeable metal-air batteries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the relationship between system interface elements' design features and interaction performance in simulated vehicle vibration environments. BACKGROUND Touch screens have been widely used in vehicle information systems, but few studies have focused on the decline of touchscreen interaction performance and task load increase when driving on unpaved roads. METHOD The interaction performance (reaction time and task accuracy rate) with vibration frequencies below 3 Hz (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 Hz) and different interface design elements was investigated employing a touch screen computer and E-prime software. RESULTS The results indicate that vehicle vibration (below 3 Hz) can significantly reduce interaction performance with a vehicle information system interface. CONCLUSION An appropriate increase in the physical size of the interface design features (visual stimulus materials and touch buttons) can help to mitigate this negative effect of vibration. APPLICATION The results and findings of this study can be utilized for the design of information system interfaces as it relates to the vibration scenario of unpaved roads.

Abstract
Actinides are an important component of nuclear fuel for nuclear power and affect human health, and a key process in the transport of radionuclides in the environment is adsorption on mineral surfaces. In this work, we have used density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the microscopic adsorption and diffusion mechanisms of actinyls, U(V), U(VI), Np(V), Np(VI) Pu(V), and Pu(VI), on the gibbsite (001) surface. Actinyls(VI) are attached to the gibbsite surface through two An-Os bonds, which results in a bidentate inner sphere mode, while actinyls(V) favor a monodentate inner sphere adsorption mode with the gibbsite (001) surface. The solvent effects were considered through an explicit water cluster model. All the actinyls studied can be efficiently adsorbed on the gibbsite (001) surface with binding energies ranging from -113.9 kJ mol-1 to -341.2 kJ mol-1. Electronic structure analyses indicate that the cooperation of the An-Os bonds and hydrogen bonds leads to high adsorption stability of the actinyls with the gibbsite surface. The diffusion barriers of the actinyls on the gibbsite surface were determined, and the high energy barriers indicate that this type of gas-phase diffusion process is not likely to take place.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate MRI-based radiomics models capable of evaluating supraspinatus tendon tears within the shoulder joints by using arthroscopy as the reference standard. METHODS A total of 432 patients (332 in the training set and 100 in the external validation set) with intact supraspinatus tendon (n = 202) and supraspinatus tendon tear (n = 230, 130 full-thickness tears and 100 partial-thickness tears) were enrolled. Radiomics features were extracted from fat-saturated T2-weighted coronal images. Two radiomics signature models for detecting supraspinatus tendon abnormalities (tear or not), and stage lesion severity (full- or partial-thickness tear) and radiomics scores (Rad-score), were constructed and calculated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic performance of the two models was validated using ROC curves on the training and validation datasets. RESULTS For the radiomics model of no tears or tears, thirteen features from MR images were used to build the radiomics signature with an AUC value of 0.98 in the training set, 0.97 in the internal validation set, and 0.98 in the external validation set. For the radiomics model of full- or partial-thickness tears, thirteen features from MR images were used to build the radiomics signature with an AUC value of 0.79 in the training set, 0.69 in the internal validation set, and 0.77 in the external validation set. CONCLUSION The proposed radiomics models in this study can accurately rule out supraspinatus tendon tears and are capable of assessing the severity staging of tears with moderate accuracy based on shoulder MR images. KEY POINTS • The radiomics model of no tears or tears achieved a high overall accuracy of 93.6%, sensitivity of 91.6%, and specificity of 95.2% for supraspinatus tendon tears. • The radiomics model of full- or partial-thickness tears displayed moderate performance with an accuracy of 76.4%, a sensitivity of 79.2%, and a specificity of 74.3% for supraspinatus tendon tears severity staging.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening disease with high morbidity and mortality. Our previous results demonstrated that Ficolin A (FcnA) protected against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mild ALI via activating complement, however the mechanism of severe lung damage caused by sepsis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether FcnA modulated gut microbiota to affect the progression of sepsis-induced severe ALI. Fcna-/- and Fcnb-/- C57BL/6 mice were applied to establish the ALI model by injection of LPS intraperitoneally. Mice were treated with antibiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and intratracheal administration of recombinant protein S100A4. Changes in body weight of mice were recorded, and lung injury were assessed. Then lung tissue wet/dry weight was calculated. We found knockout of FcnA, but not FcnB, alleviated sepsis-induced severe ALI evidenced by increased body weight change, decreased wet/dry weight of lung tissue, reduced inflammatory infiltration, decreased lung damage score, decreased Muc-2, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and Cr levels, and increased sIgA levels. Furthermore, knockout of FcnA restored gut microbiota homeostasis in mice. Correlation analysis showed that Akkermansia was significantly negatively associated with TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Moreover, knockout of FcnA regulated gut microbiota to protect ALI through S100A4. Finally, we found knockout of FcnA alleviated ALI by inhibiting S100A4 via gut Akkermansia in mice, which may provide further insights and new targets into treating sepsis-induced severe lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinases have emerged as key stimulatory drivers in several cancer-related pathways. This is particularly evident in non-small cell lung cancer with regulating cell growth and apoptosis and so on. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are one breakthrough option that could improve the life quality of cancer patients. INTRODUCTION This study aims to find more effective tyrosine kinase inhibitors. METHODS In this study, natural products from TargetMol that may be the potential TKI for lung cancer were screened through structure-based virtual screening and experimental validation. Moreover, the binding between the hit compounds and tyrosine kinase was explored. RESULTS From the study findings, Gramicidin and Tannic acid have strong interactions with the four tyrosine kinases (ALK, TRK, MET, and ABL), and this could significantly inhibit the viability of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that Gramicidin and Tannic acid might be potential multiple TKI and are promising anticancer agents that call for further study.

Abstract
A recent experiment has confirmed that onion-like nanospheres of carbon (OLC) covered with single Pt atoms show comparable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity to the commercial Pt/C. In this work, we have performed screening calculations on the single transition metal (TM) atom supported on OLC (a total of 26 candidates) using the density functional theory (DFT) to find excellent HER catalysts. Our calculated results indicate that the Nb1/CLO, Mo1/CLO, Ru1/CLO, Rh1/CLO, Pd1/CLO, and Ir1/OLC show high-efficient catalysts performance for the HER, as experimental Pt1/OLC does. We also try to seek an appropriate descriptor relevant to the Gibbs free energies, and the average local ionization energy (ALIE), which is first used to predict HER activity, shows a perfect linear correlation with Gibbs free energy. It is interesting to note that the ALIE descriptor is more successful than the commonly used d-band center.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the primary reason of tumor morbidity and mortality worldwide. We aimed to study the transfer process of S100A4 between cells and whether it affected NSCLC development by affecting STAT3 expression. First, S100A4 expression in NSCLC cells was measured. The exosomes in MRC-5, A549, and H1299 cells were isolated and identified. We constructed si-S100A4 and si-PD-L1 to transfect A549 cells and oe-S100A4 to transfect H1299 cells, and tested the transfection efficiency. Cell function experiments were performed to assess cell proliferation, clone number, apoptosis, cell cycle, migration, and invasion abilities. In addition, ChIP was applied to determine the targeting relationship between S100A4 and STAT3. Next, we explored NSCLC cell-derived exosomes role in NSCLC progress by transmitting S100A4. Finally, we verified the function of exosome-transmitted S100A4 in NSCLC in vivo. High expression of S100A4 was secreted by exosomes. After knocking down S100A4, cell proliferation ability was decreased, clones number was decreased, apoptosis was increased, G1 phase was increased, S phase was repressed, and migration and invasion abilities were also decreased. ChIP validated STAT3 and PD-L1 interaction. After knocking down S100A4, PD-L1 expression was decreased, while ov-STAT3 reversed the effect of S100A4 on PD-L1 expression. Meanwhile, S100A4 inhibited T-cell immune activity by activating STAT3. In addition, knockdown of PD-L1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. NSCLC cell-derived exosomes promoted cancer progression by transmitting S100A4 to activate STAT3 pathway. Finally, in vivo experiments further verified that exosome-transmitted S100A4 promoted NSCLC progression. Exosome-transmitted S100A4 induces immunosuppression and the development of NSCLC by activating STAT3.

Abstract
1. This study aimed to study the preventive and therapeutic effects of andrographolide (Andro) during Mycoplasma gallisepticum HS strain (MG) infection in ArborAcres (AA) broilers.2. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Andro against MG was measured. Broiler body weight, feed efficiency, morbidity, cure rate and mortality were recorded during the experiment. Air sac lesion scores and immune organ index were calculated. Expression of pMGA1.2 in lung tissue and serum biochemical indices were examined. Histopathological examinations of immune organs, liver, trachea and lung tissue were conducted by Haematoxylin and Eosin stain.3. MIC was 3.75 μg/mL and Andro significantly inhibited the expression of pMGA1.2 (P ≤ 0.05). Compared with control MG-infected group, Andro low-dose and high-dose prevention reduced the morbidity of chronic respiratory disease in 40.00% and 50.00%, respectively. Mortality of C, D and E group was 16.67%, 10.00% and 6.67%, respectively. Cure rate of E, F, G and H group was 92.00%, 92.86%, 93.33% and 100.0%, respectively. Compared with control MG-infected group, Andro treatment significantly increased average weight gain (AWG), relative weight gain rate (RWG) and feed conversion rate (FCR) at 18 to 24 days (P ≤ 0.05). Compared with control group, Andro alone treatment significantly increased AWG in broilers (P ≤ 0.05).4. Compared with control MG-infected group, Andro significantly attenuated MG-induced air sac lesion, immune organs, liver, trachea and lung damage in broilers. Andro alone treatment did not induce abnormal morphological changes in these organs in healthy broilers. Serum biochemical analysis results showed, comparing with control MG-infected group, Andro significantly decreased the content of total protein, albumin, globulin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, urea, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, and increased the albumin/globulin ratio and content of alkaline phosphatase, apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A-I in a dose-dependent manner (P ≤ 0.05).5. Andro could act as a potential agent against MG infection in broilers.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of extreme precipitation on the risk of outpatient visits for depression and to further explore its associated disease burden and vulnerable population. Methods A quasi-Poisson generalized linear regression model combined with distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was used to investigate the exposure-lag-response relationship between extreme precipitation (≥95th percentile) and depression outpatient visits from 2017 to 2019 in Suzhou city, Anhui Province, China. Results Extreme precipitation was positively associated with the outpatient visits for depression. The effects of extreme precipitation on depression firstly appeared at lag4 [relative risk (RR): 1.047, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.005–1.091] and lasted until lag7 (RR = 1.047, 95% CI: 1.009–1.087). Females, patients aged ≥65 years and patients with multiple outpatient visits appeared to be more sensitive to extreme precipitation. The attributable fraction (AF) and numbers (AN) of extreme precipitation on outpatient visits for depression were 5.00% (95% CI: 1.02–8.82%) and 1318.25, respectively. Conclusions Our findings suggested that extreme precipitation may increase the risk of outpatient visits for depression. Further studies on the burden of depression found that females, aged ≥65 years, and patients with multiple visits were priority targets for future warnings. Active intervention measures against extreme precipitation events should be taken to reduce the risk of depression outpatient visits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing PPE can induce skin damage such as erythema, pruritus, erosion, and ulceration among others. Although the skin microbiome is considered important for skin health, the change of the skin microbiome after wearing PPE remain unknown. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to characterize the diversity and structure of bacterial and fungal flora on skin surfaces of healthcare workers wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). METHODS A total of 10 Chinese volunteers were recruited and the microbiome of their face, hand, and back were analyzed before and after wearing PPE. Moreover, VISIA was used to analyze skin features. RESULTS Results of alpha bacterial diversity showed that there was statistically significant decrease in alpha diversity indice in the skin samples from face, hand, and three sites after wearing PPE as compared with the indice in the skin samples before wearing PPE. Further, the results of evaluated alpha fungal diversity show that there was a statistically significant decrease in alpha diversity indices in the skin samples from hand after wearing PPE as compared with the indices in the skin samples before wearing PPE (P<0.05). Results of the current study found that the main bacteria on the face, hand, and back skin samples before wearing the PPE were Propionibacterium spp. (34.04%), Corynebacterium spp. (13.12%), and Staphylococcus spp. (38.07%). The main bacteria found on the skin samples after wearing the PPE were Staphylococcus spp. (31.23%), Xanthomonas spp. (26.21%), and Cutibacterium spp. (42.59%). The fungal community composition was similar in three skin sites before and after wearing PPE. CONCLUSION It was evident that wearing PPE may affect the skin microbiota, especially bacteria. Therefore, it was evident that the symbiotic microbiota may reflect the skin health of medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to remove heavy metals from metallurgical industry sludge by bioleaching alone and bioleaching combined with persulfate (PDS). The results showed that the removal of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Mn reached 70%, 83.8%, 25.2%, and 76.9% by bioleaching alone after 18 days, respectively. The experiment of bioleaching combined with PDS was carried out in which the optimal additive dosage of K2S2O8, 8 g/L, was added to bioleaching after 6 d. After 1 h, the removal of four heavy metals reached 75.1, 84.3, 36.7, and 81.6%, respectively. Compared with bioleaching alone, although the increase in removal efficiency was only slightly increased, the treatment cycle was distinctly shortened from 18 to 6 days + 1 h. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the surface morphology of the sludge was changed significantly by the combined treatment. The content of heavy metals was significantly reduced after bioleaching combined with PDS by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and free radical quenching experiments, it was indicated that sulfate radicals [Formula: see text] plays a leading role in the combined treatment. The treated sludge mainly existed in a stable form, and the bioavailability was reduced with European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) morphology analysis. This study proved that the combination of bioleaching and PDS could not only shorten the treatment cycle but also further improve the efficiency of heavy metal leaching. It provides a novel treatment method for the removal of heavy metals from metallurgical industry sludge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between seat armrest height and human neck comfort when using a smartphone while sitting on a passenger seat during the flight. MATERIAL AND METHODS The authors used a wireless angle-measuring instrument and subjective comfort scale to evaluate the changes of head flexion angle and neck comfort level of 24 young smartphone users in an aircraft simulated cabin. RESULTS The study results indicated that using a smartphone while sitting on a passenger seat during the flight would pose a larger discomfort to the neck, and the discomfort would be higher for gaming than reading tasks. Seat armrest height is related to the comfort level of the neck when using a smartphone, increasing the height of the armrest can effectively alleviate discomfort in this state. CONCLUSIONS Considering the prevalence of passengers using smartphones in aircraft, a seat armrest that can be properly adjusted in height, which can effectively reduce the risk of passenger head flexion angle and neck discomfort.

Abstract
The removal of actinides from radioactive wastewater is an important subject with the continuous application of nuclear energy. All-electron density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to understand the adsorption behaviors of actinyl ions on C60(OH)24 fullerenol in this work. The outer-sphere (OS) bonding mode is more stable than the inner-sphere one because of the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds in the OS mode. The actinyl(VI) ions can be more efficiently absorbed by fullerenol than actinyl(V) ones. The bonding nature of actinyl ions with C60(OH)24 was revealed by various electron density topological analyses. Multiple hydrogen bonds formed in the OS complexes show moderate bond strength with partial covalent nature and are responsible for their high stability. IR spectra were fingerprinted to distinguish the interaction modes of actinyl ions with C60(OH)24.

Abstract
Oxygen-based anionic redox reactions have recently emerged as a lever to increase the capacity of Mn-rich layered oxide cathodes in addition to the charge compensation based on cationic redox reactions for sodium-ion batteries. Unfortunately, the irreversibility of anionic redox often aggravates irreversible structure change and poor cycling performance. Here, a stable anionic redox is achieved through substituting Na ions by Mg ions in P2-type Na0.83 Li0.25 Mn0.75 O2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Mg substitution effectively decreases the oxygen chemical potential, causing an improvement in lattice oxygen stability. Moreover, at a highly desodiated state, Mg ions that remain in the lattice and interact with O 2p orbitals can decrease the undercoordinated oxygen and the nonbonded, electron-deficient O 2p states, facilitating the reversibility of oxygen redox. When cycled in the voltage range of 2.6-4.5 V where only anionic redox occurs for charge compensation, Na0.773 Mg0.03 Li0.25 Mn0.75 O2 presents a much better reversibility, giving a 4 times better cycle stability than that of Na0.83 Li0.25 Mn0.75 O2 . Experimentally, Na0.773 Mg0.03 Li0.25 Mn0.75 O2 exhibits a ≈1.1% volume expansion during sodium insertion/extraction, suggestive of a "zero-strain" cathode. Overall, the work opens a new avenue for enhancing anionic reversibility of oxygen-related Mn-rich cathodes.

Abstract
The 21st century presents many challenges to mankind, including climate change, fast growing human population, and serious concerns over food security. Wheat is a leading cereal crop that largely fulfills the global food needs. Low temperature stress accompanied by nutrient-starved soils is badly disrupting the source-sink relationship of wheat, thus causing an acute decline in final yield and deteriorating the grain quality. This review paper aimed to understand how low temperature stress affects wheat source-sink organs (i.e., leaves, roots, and spikes) and how phosphorus application reliefs in alleviating its harmful consequences. Also, we discussed mitigation strategies to enhance wheat capacity to adapt to varying temperature extremes and made rational recommendations based on modern agronomic and breeding approaches. Therefore, this study is likely to establish a solid foundation for improving the tolerance to low temperature stress and to improve its phosphorus utilization efficiency in wheat.

Abstract
Late spring coldness (LSC) is critical for wheat growth and development in the Huang-Huai valleys of China. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms for young spikes responding to low temperature (LT) stress during anther connective tissue formation phase (ACFP). To elucidate the molecular mechanisms associated with low temperature, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis of wheat cultivars Xinmai26 (XM26: cold-sensitive) and Yannong19 (YN19: cold-tolerant) using RNA-seq data. Over 4000 differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified under low temperature conditions (T1: 4°C) and freezing conditions (T2: -4°C) compared with control (CK: 16°C). The number of DEGs associated with two cultivars at two low temperature treatments (T1: 4°C and T2: -4°C) were 834, 1,353, 231, and 1,882 in four comparison groups (Xinmai26-CK vs. Xinmai26-T1, Xinmai26-CK vs. Xinmai26-T2, Yannong19-CK vs. Yannong19-T1, and Yannong19-CK vs. Yannong19-T2), respectively. Furthermore, to validate the accuracy of RNA-seq, 16 DEGs were analyzed using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Several transcriptome changes were observed through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway functional enrichment analysis in plant hormone signal transduction, circadian rhythm-plant, and starch and sucrose metabolism under low temperature. In addition, 126 transcription factors (TFs), including AP2-ERF, bHLH, WRKY, MYB, HSF, and members of the bZIP family, were considered as cold-responsive. It is the first study to investigate DEGs associated with low temperature stress at the transcriptome level in two wheat cultivars with different cold resistance capacities. Most likely, the variations in transcription factors (TFs) regulation, and starch and sucrose metabolism contribute to different cold resistance capacities in the two cultivars. Further, physiological activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) enzymes, malondialdehyde (MDA), soluble sugar (SS), and sucrose contents were evaluated to investigate the negative impacts of low temperature in both cultivars. These findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of plant responses to low temperature and potential candidate genes that required for improving wheat's capacity to withstand low temperature stress.

Abstract
The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection is high worldwide, while numerous research has focused on unraveling the relationship between H. pylori infection and extragastric diseases. Although H. pylori infection has been associated with thyroid diseases, including thyroid nodule (TN), the relationship has mainly focused on potential physiological mechanisms and has not been validated by large population epidemiological investigations. Therefore, we thus designed a case-control study comprising participants who received regular health examination between 2017 and 2019. The cases and controls were diagnosed via ultrasound, while TN types were classified according to the guidelines of the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS). Moreover, H. pylori infection was determined by C14 urea breath test, while its relationship with TN type risk and severity was analyzed using binary and ordinal logistic regression analyses. A total of 43,411 participants, including 13,036 TN patients and 30,375 controls, were finally recruited in the study. The crude odds ratio (OR) was 1.07 in Model 1 (95% CI = 1.03-1.14) without adjustment compared to the H. pylori non-infection group. However, it was negative in Model 2 (OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.97-1.06) after being adjusted for gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure and in Model 3 (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.97-1.06) after being adjusted for total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein on the basis of Model 2. Control variables, including gender, age, BMI, and diastolic pressure, were significantly correlated with the risk of TN types. Additionally, ordinal logistic regression results revealed that H. pylori infection was positively correlated with malignant differentiation of TN (Model 1: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.02-1.11), while Model 2 and Model 3 showed negative results (Model 2: OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.96-1.06; Model 3: OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.96-1.05). In conclusion, H. pylori infection was not significantly associated with both TN type risk and severity of its malignant differentiation. These findings provide relevant insights for correcting possible misconceptions regarding TN type pathogenesis and will help guide optimization of therapeutic strategies for thyroid diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Accurate prediction of the expression level of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is crucial before immunotherapy. The purpose of this study was to construct and validate a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT)-based radiomics signature to discriminate between high and low expression status of PD-L1. METHODS A total of 179 HNSCC patients who underwent immunohistochemical examination of tumor PD-L1 expression at one of two centers were enrolled in this study and divided into a training set (n = 122; 55 high PD-L1 expression and 67 low PD-L1 expression) and an external validation set (n = 57; 26 high PD-L1 expression and 31 low PD-L1 expression). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method was used to select the key features for a CECT-image-based radiomics signature. The performance of the radiomics signature was assessed using receiver operating characteristics analysis. RESULTS Six features were finally selected to construct the radiomics signature. The performance of the radiomics signature in the discrimination between high and low PD-L1 expression status was good in both the training and validation sets, with areas under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.889 and 0.834 for the training and validation sets, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The constructed CECT-based radiomics signature model showed favorable performance for discriminating between high and low PD-L1 expression status in HNSCC patients. It may be useful for screening out those patients with HNSCC who can best benefit from anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy.

Abstract
In this study, cattail was researched as a natural cellulose source to extract cellulose. Dewaxing, alkali and bleaching treatments were carried out for the cattail fibers (CFs). The FTIR, SEM and XRD results indicated that hemicellulose and lignin were successfully removed from the CFs, and the content of cattail cellulose increased from 41.66 ± 1.11% to 89.72 ± 1.07%. Subsequently, cellulose aerogel was prepared by the extracted cattail cellulose. The Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was uniformly loaded onto the surface of cellulose aerogel by the in situ growth, and ZIF-8 Cattail Cellulose Aerogel (ZCCA) was finally prepared. The SEM, FTIR, XRD and TGA results further confirmed the successful preparation of ZCCA. Additionally, the results of the adsorption experiment showed that ZCCA had excellent adsorption performance for enrofloxacin, and the maximum adsorption capacity of enrofloxacin reached 172.09 mg·g-1 while showing good reusability. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of enrofloxacin was a spontaneous endothermic reaction and that the adsorption mechanism involves the interaction of hydrogen bonds, electrostatic and π-π stacking.

Abstract
As novel non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an essential role in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases, and the regulation of these functional molecules has become a research hotspot gradually. Within the past decade, phytochemicals were reported to regulate the expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in various chronic diseases, and more recently, most studies focus on the regulatory roles of phytochemicals on circRNAs. Abnormal expression of circRNAs has been identified in chronic diseases like cancer, heart failure, depression and atherosclerosis, and numerous studies have revealed the modulation of circRNAs by phytochemicals including berberine, celastrol, cinnamaldehyde, curcumin, et al. The expression of circRNAs, such as circSATB2 and circFOXM1, were modulated by phytochemicals, and these regulations further affected cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, autophagy, chemosensitivity, radiosensitivity and other biological processes. Mechanismly, the circRNAs mainly functioned as miRNA sponge, subsequently affecting miRNA-mediated regulation of target genes and related cell signaling pathways. In this review, we summarized the impact of phytochemicals on circRNAs expression and biological function, and discussed the mechanisms underlying phytochemicals regulating circRNAs in cancer and other chronic diseases.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP), a new 2D material as a layered allotrope of phosphorus, has regained attention due to its outstanding semiconductor characteristics. However, the major hurdles of using few-layer BP for applications are its poor solution processability and low ambient stability. Here, we report a covalent modification of BP nanosheets by a chemical reaction with sodium alkoxide. Fourier transform infrared spectra, Raman spectra, X-ray photoemission spectra and thermogravimetric analyses all confirmed the successful introduction of alkoxy groups on the BP surface with P-O-C bonds, which increased the solubility and ambient stability of BP. The introduced alkoxy groups as soluble side chains on the BP surface not only increase the solubility of BP nanosheets by almost 3 times, but also decrease the degradation ratio of the modified BP by about 2 times because of the encapsulation. In this work we developed a facile synthetic strategy to covalently modify BP by introducing soluble side chains, suggesting an effective way to realize its full potential application in electronics.
