Abstract
As one of the most environmental concerns, inhaled particulate matter (PM10) causes numerous health problems. However, the associations between anxiety behavior and toxicity caused by PM10 have rarely been reported so far. To investigate the changes of behavior after PM10 exposure and to identify the potential mechanisms of toxicity, PM10 samples (with doses of 15 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg) were intratracheally instilled into rats to simulate inhalation of polluted air by the lungs. After instillation for eight weeks, anxiety-like behavior was evaluated, levels of oxidative stress and morphological changes of hippocampus were measured. The behavioral results indicated that PM10 exposure induced obvious anxiety-like behavior in the open field and elevated plus maze tests. Both PM10 concentrations tested could increase whole blood viscosity and trigger hippocampal neuronal damage and oxidative stress by increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and malondialdehyde levels, and decreasing the expressions of antioxidant-related proteins (e.g., nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), SOD1 and heme oxygenase 1). Furthermore, through collecting and analyzing questionnaires, the data showed that the participants experienced obvious anxiety-related emotions and negative somatic responses under heavily polluted environments, especially PM10 being the main pollutant. These results show that PM10 exposure induces anxiety-like behavior, which may be related to suppressing the Nrf2/Keap1-SOD1 pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy, safety and optimal dose of polyethylene glycol loxenatide (PEX168) for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical trials of PEX168 for T2DM were identified in 8 databases, with a build time limit of January 2023. Included studies were subjected to meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA). RESULTS On the efficacy endpoint, the meta-analysis showed that PEX168 100 μg significantly reduced 0.86% glycated hemoglobin type A1c (HbA1c) (MD -0.86, 95% CI -1.02 - -0.70, p<0.00001), 1.11 mmol/L fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (MD -1.11, 95% CI -1.49 - -0.74, p<0.00001) and 1.91 mmol/L 2h postprandial glucose (PPG) (MD -1.91, 95% CI -3.35 - -0.46, p=0.01) compared with placebo. The TSA showed that all these benefits were conclusive. On safety endpoints, total adverse events (AEs), gastrointestinal (GI) AEs, serious AEs, and hypoglycemia were comparable to placebo for PEX168 100 μg (p>0.05). In the dose comparison, the HbA1c, FPG, and 2h PPG of PEX168 200 μg were comparable to 100 μg (p>0.05), while GI AEs were significantly higher than 100 μg (RR=2.84, 95% CI 1.64-4.93, p=0.0002). CONCLUSIONS PEX168 100 μg can significantly lower blood glucose and does not increase the risk of total AEs, GI AEs, and hypoglycemia, which may be a preferred glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The encapsulation of the proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an essential step of fuel cell stack assembly. The selection of the assembly pressure is very important to the stack performance and life. Based on that, this paper presents a method to describe the internal physical deformation of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) after inhomogeneous pressure by using user-defined functions (UDFs). The results show that the transmission difference caused by the nonuniform GDL deformation can be clearly seen by the UDFs method, and there is an obvious transition of GDL at the interface of the channel and the rib. A three-dimensional single-channel PEMFC model is established, and an optimal assembly pressure range is obtained, between 1.5 and 2.0 MPa. The maximum thermal stress inside the cell occurs in the middle of the membrane electrode assembly and decreases as the assembly pressure increases. Furthermore, the influence of rib-channel ratios is discussed. Compared to the fuel cells with ratios of 2:1, 2:3, and 1:2, the one with 1:1 exhibits the maximum current density and the highest power density.

Abstract
Graphdiyne (GDY) multilayers show stacking-style-dependent physical properties; thus, controlling the stacking style of nanostructures is crucial for utilizing their electrical, optical, and transport properties in electro-optical devices. Herein, we report the assemblies of nanographdiynes decorated with substituents with different steric hindrances to adjust the stacking style. We show that the π-stacked aggregates were influenced by peripheral substituents and the substrate. Steric hexaterphenyl-substituted nanoGDY scaffolds led to dimer structures stacked in the AB-3 configuration with a twist angle of 26.01° or the AB-1 configuration with an in-plane shift along one diyne link. With the interval replacement of steric substituents with long C12 alkyl chains, nanoGDYs were stacked in the AB-2 configuration to decrease the steric congestion, eventually leading to one-dimensional (1D) nanofibrous aggregates. Self-assembly in the presence of substrates can result in ABC-stacked nanoGDYs, which endowed us with the possibility of using nanoGDY as the template for GDY growth in a homogeneous reaction. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and near-infrared-ultraviolet-visible (NIR-UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy indicate that the crystalline GDY prepared in this way is a 1.18 eV bandgap semiconductor.

Abstract
Six new (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8) and seven known (4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13) diterpenoids have been identified in the pulp of Coffea arabica. The structures of new diterpenoids were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR (HSQC, HMBC, 1H-1H COSY, and ROESY), HRESIMS, IR, DP4+, electronic circular dichroism, and X-ray crystallography analysis. Compound 1 is ent-labdane-type diterpenoid, whereas compounds (2-13) are ent-kaurane diterpenoids. The result of α-glucosidase inhibitory assay demonstrated that compounds (1, 3, 5, 7, and 10) have moderate inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 55.23 ± 0.84, 74.02 ± 0.89, 66.46 ± 1.05, 49.70 ± 1.02, and 76.34 ± 0.46 μM, respectively, compared to the positive control (acarbose, 51.62 ± 0.21 μM). Furthermore, molecular docking analysis has been conducted to investigate the interaction between the compounds and the receptors of α-glucosidase to interpret their mechanism of activity. This study is the first investigation that successfully discovered the presence of diterpenoids within the coffee pulp.

Abstract
Recent studies have reported the role of the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R), a member of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily, encoded by the CHRM3 gene, in cardiac function and the regulation of blood pressure (BP). The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of CHRM3 genetic variants with salt sensitivity, longitudinal BP changes, and the development of hypertension in a Chinese population. We conducted a chronic dietary salt intervention experiment in a previously established Chinese cohort to analyze salt sensitivity of BP. Additionally, a 14-year follow-up was conducted on all participants in the cohort to evaluate the associations of CHRM3 polymorphisms with longitudinal BP changes, as well as the incidence of hypertension. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10802811 within the CHRM3 gene displayed significant associations with low salt-induced changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP), while rs373288072, rs114677844, and rs663148 exhibited significant associations with SBP and MAP responses to a high-salt diet. Furthermore, the SNP rs58359377 was associated with changes in SBP and pulse pressure (PP) over the course of 14 years. Additionally, the 14-year follow-up revealed a significant association between the rs619288 polymorphism and an increased risk of hypertension (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.06-2.87, p = .029). This study provides evidence that CHRM3 may have a role in salt sensitivity, BP progression, and the development of hypertension.

Abstract
Covering: up to March 2023Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a popular tool for analyzing the structures of natural products (NPs). This review presents a summary of the recent advancements in ML-assisted mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data analysis to establish the chemical structures of NPs. First, ML-based MS/MS analyses that rely on library matching are discussed, which involves the utilization of ML algorithms to calculate similarity, predict the MS/MS fragments, and form molecular fingerprint. Then, ML assisted MS/MS structural annotation without library matching is reviewed. Furthermore, the cases of ML algorithms in assisting structural studies of NPs based on NMR are discussed from four perspectives: NMR prediction, functional group identification, structural categorization and quantum chemical calculation. Finally, the review concludes with a discussion of the challenges and the trends associated with the structural establishment of NPs based on ML algorithms.

Abstract
Passivating the interfaces between the perovskite and charge transport layers is crucial for enhancing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here we report a dual-interface engineering approach to improving the performance of FA0.85 MA0.15 Pb(I0.95 Br0.05 )3 -based PSCs by incorporating Ti3 C2 Clx Nano-MXene and o-TB-GDY nanographdiyne (NanoGDY) into the electron transport layer (ETL)/perovskite and perovskite/ hole transport layer (HTL) interfaces, respectively. The dual-interface passivation simultaneously suppresses non-radiative recombination and promotes carrier extraction by forming the Pb-Cl chemical bond and strong coordination of π-electron conjugation with undercoordinated Pb defects. The resulting perovskite film has an ultralong carrier lifetime exceeding 10 μs and an enlarged crystal size exceeding 2.5 μm. A maximum PCE of 24.86 % is realized, with an open-circuit voltage of 1.20 V. Unencapsulated cells retain 92 % of their initial efficiency after 1464 hours in ambient air and 80 % after 1002 hours of thermal stability test at 85 °C.

Abstract
Inhibition of angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) is an important means of treating hypertension since it plays an important regulatory function in the renin-angiotensin system. The aim of this study was to investigate the ACE inhibitory effect of bioactive peptides from green coffee beans using in silico and in vitro methods. Alcalase and thermolysin were employed to hydrolyze protein extract from coffee beans. Bioactive peptides were identified by LC-MS/MS analysis coupled with database searching. The potential bioactivities of peptides were predicted by in silico screening, among which five novel peptides may have ACE inhibitory activity. In vitro assay was carried out to determine the ACE inhibitory degree. Two peptides (IIPNEVY, ITPPVMLPP) were obtained with IC50 values of 57.54 and 40.37 μM, respectively. Furthermore, it was found that two inhibitors bound to the receptor protein on similar sites near the S1 active pocket of ACE to form stable enzyme-peptide complexes through molecular docking, and the Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that IIPNEVY was a noncompetitive inhibitor, and ITPPVMLPP was suggested to be a mixed-type inhibitor. Our study demonstrated that two peptides isolated from coffee have potential applications as antihypertensive agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of iguratimod (IGU) and methylprednisolone (MP) for the efficacy and safety of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) by a meta-analysis and a trial sequential analysis (TSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical studies of IGU combined with MP for pSS were searched through eight databases. Revman 5.3 and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta were used for the meta-analysis and TSA. RESULTS In terms of efficacy endpoints, compared with "HCQ+MP" group, "IGU+MP" group decreased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [mean difference (MD)=-5.15, 95% confidence interval (CI)=(-7.37, -2.93), p<0.0001], immunoglobulin G (IgG) [MD=-3.38, 95% CI=(-4.13, -2.64), p<0.00001], immunoglobulin M (IgM) [MD=-0.64, 95% CI=(-1.19, -0.09), p=0.02], Immunoglobulin A (IgA) [MD=-1.16, 95% CI=(-1.92, -0.39), p=0.003], EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) [MD=-1.62, 95% CI=(-2.07, -1.17), p<0.0001], EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) [MD=-2.07, 95% CI=(-2.54, -1.59), p<0.0001], increase platelet (PLT) [MD=13.21, 95% CI=(9.77,16.65), p<0.00001], and improve Schirmer I test (SIT) [MD=1.86, 95% CI=(1.40, 2.32), p<0.0001]. TSA presented that these benefits observed with the current information volume were all conclusive, except for IgM. In terms of safety endpoints, the total adverse event rates (AEs), leucopenia, gastrointestinal (GI) AEs, skin diseases, and liver dysfunction of the "IGU+MP" group and the "HCQ+MP" group were comparable. And TSA indicated that the results need to be confirmed by additional studies. Harbord regression showed no publication bias (p=0.986). CONCLUSIONS IGU combined with MP effectively attenuates autoimmune responses (IgG, IgM, IgA), reduces clinical symptoms and disease activity (ESR, PLT, ESSPRI, ESSDAI), and improves the exocrine gland functional status (SIT) in patients with pSS. IGU combined with MP does not increase the risk of adverse events, which means that IGU combined with MP may be a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of pSS and has value for further research exploration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims to evaluate tirzepatide's efficacy and safety in treating type 2 diabetes by meta-analysis and trial-sequential-analysis (TSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight databases were searched for clinical trials on tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes with a time limit of November 2022. Revman5.3 and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta were selected for meta-analysis and TSA. RESULTS Compared with placebo, the meta-analysis demonstrated that tirzepatide 15 mg reduced hemoglobin-type-A1C (HbA1c) (p<0.00001), fasting-serum-glucose (FSG) (p<0.00001), and weight (p<0.00001). Compared with insulin, tirzepatide 15 mg reduced HbA1c (p<0.00001), FSG (p<0.00007), and weight (p<0.00001). Compared with glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor-agonist (GLP-1 RA), tirzepatide 15 mg reduced HbA1c (p=0.00004), FSG (p=0.001), and weight (p<0.00001). In safety endpoints, the meta-analysis revealed that adverse events (AEs) of placebo, insulin and GLP-1 RA were comparable to tirzepatide 15 mg. The total AEs (p=0.02) and gastrointestinal (GI) AEs (p=0.03) were higher in tirzepatide 15 mg than in the placebo, while hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dl) was comparable. The major adverse cardiovascular events-4 (MACE-4) (p=0.03) and hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dl) (p<0.00001) of tirzepatide 15 mg were lower when compared to insulin, while total AEs (p=0.03) were increased. Compared with GLP-1 RA, tirzepatide 15 mg was comparable in safety endpoints in total AEs and GI AEs, while hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dl) (p=0.04) was higher. TSA indicated that HgA1c, FSG, and weight benefits were conclusive. In safety endpoints, only MACE-4 and hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dl) of Tirzepatide 15 mg vs. Insulin were conclusive. Harbord regression of AEs suggested no evident publication bias (p=0.618). CONCLUSIONS Tirzepatide 15 mg reduced HbA1c and weight more effectively than placebo, insulin, and GLP-1 RA. Total AEs were higher than placebo and insulin but comparable to GLP-1 RA. Tirzepatide 15 mg is a kind of optimal strategy to treat type 2 diabetes. However, there is a need to focus on GI AEs.

Abstract
Intersphincteric resection (ISR) surgery increases the rate of anal sphincter preservation in patients with ultra-low rectal cancers. However, the anastomotic site of ISR surgery is at risk for structural healing complications such as anastomotic leakage, anastomotic dehiscence, secondary anastomotic stenosis, chronic presacral sinus, rectovaginal fistula, and rectourethral fistula, which can lead to a persistent defunctioning ostomy or a secondary permanent colostomy. This article systematically describes the preoperative high-risk factors and characteristics of anastomotic site structural healing complications after ISR surgery, as well as the management of the anastomotic site during various stages including hospitalization, from discharge to one month after surgery, from one month after surgery to before stoma reversal, and after stoma reversal. This is to provide a clearer understanding of the risks associated with the anastomotic site at different stages of the healing process and to timely detect and actively manage related complications, thereby reducing the rate of permanent colostomy and truly achieving the dual goals of "survival benefit" and "quality of life improvement" in ISR surgery.

Abstract
Porous metal foam with complex opening geometry has been used as a flow field to enhance the distribution of reactant gas and the removal of water in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. In this study, the water management capacity of a metal foam flow field is experimentally investigated by polarization curve tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Additionally, the dynamic behavior of water at the cathode and anode under various flooding situations is examined. It is found that obvious flooding phenomena are observed after water addition both into the anode and cathode, which are alleviated during a constant-potential test at 0.6 V. Greater abilities of anti-flooding and mass transfer and higher current densities are found as the same amount of water is added at the anode. No diffusion loop is depicted in the impedance plots although a 58.3% flow volume is occupied by water. The maximum current density of 1.0 A cm-2 and the lowest Rct around 17 mΩ cm2 are obtained at the optimum state after 40 and 50 min of operation as 2.0 and 2.5 g of water are added, respectively. The porous metal pores store a certain amount of water to humidify the membrane and achieve an internal "self-humidification" function.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that coffee has a role in regulating lipid metabolism. However, the active compounds and pharmacological mechanism(s) are still unclear. Here, four new coffee diterpenoids (1-4) were identified from roasted arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) beans, and together with 31 known coffee diterpenoids (5-35), their bioactivities in the regulation of lipid content in white adipocytes were evaluated. Based on their structures and correlated bioactivities, we proposed that the α,β-unsaturated-γ-lactone moiety and hydroxyl group at C-3 are required for the bioactivity. Furthermore, the pharmacological approaches revealed that the active new diterpenoid, dehydrocaffarolide B, inhibited the Akt/mTOR/GSK3β pathway and arrested cells in the G0/G1 phase of the mitotic clonal expansion process during the adipocyte differentiation and maturation, eventually resulting in the blunting of lipid accumulation in the adipocytes. Collectively, our findings identified four new diterpenoids of arabica coffee and elucidated a mechanism of an active lactone-type diterpenoid in the regulation of lipid content in white adipocytes.

Abstract
In this study, medium roasted coffee with four different fermented coffee fruits post-treatments (dry, wet, semi-dry and hot air dry) was used as the material. Chemical profile and sensorial analysis were used to comprehensively analyze the effects of post-treatments on coffee flavor characteristics from multiple dimensions. A total of 31 water-soluble chemical components and 39 volatile compounds were identified in roasted coffee, and distinct post-treatments based on chemical orientation make coffee highly differentiated. In addition, the principal component analysis (PCA) of the chemical composition integrated data set showed that the first two principal components could explain 54.9% of the sample variability. All four post-treatments can be classified as "specialty coffees" according to the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocol, with various organoleptic characteristics and flavor attributes. As a result, the fermented coffee fruits post-treatment method further determines the quality characteristics of coffee, thus meeting the needs of different niche markets.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility, safety, and short- and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic pelvic exenteration (LPE) in treating locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 173 patients who had undergone pelvic exenteration (PE) for locally advanced rectal cancer that had been shown by preoperative imaging or intraoperative exploration to have invaded beyond the mesorectal excision plane and adjacent organs in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (n=64) and Peking University First Hospital (n=109) from 2010 January to 2021 December were collected retrospectively. Laparoscopic PE (LPE) had been performed on 82 of these patients and open PE (OPE) on 91. Short- and long-term outcomes (1-, 3-, and 5-year overall and disease-free survival and 1- and 3-year cumulative local recurrence rates) were compared between these groups. Results: The only statistically significant difference in baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05) was administration of neoadjuvant therapy. Compared with OPE, LPE had a significantly shorter operative time (319.3±129.3 minutes versus 417.3±155.0 minutes, t=4.531, P<0.001) and less intraoperative blood loss (175 [20-2000] ml vs. 500 [20-4500] ml, U=2206.500, P<0.001). The R0 resection rates were 98.8% and 94.5%, respectively (χ2=2.355, P=0.214). At 18.3% (15/82), and the incidence of perioperative complications was lower in the LPE group than in the OPE group (37.4% [34/91], χ2=7.727, P=0.005). The rates of surgical site infection were 7.3% (6/82) and 23.1% (21/91) in the LPE and OPE group, respectively (χ2=8.134, P=0.004). The rates of abdominal wound infection were 0 and 12.1% (11/91) (χ2=10.585, P=0.001), respectively, and of urinary tract infection 0 and 6.6% (6/91) (χ2=5.601, P=0.030), respectively. Postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the LPE than OPE group (12 [4-60] days vs. 15 [7-87] days, U=2498.000, P<0.001). The median follow-up time was 40 (2-88) months in the LPE group and 59 (1-130) months in the OPE group. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 91.3%, 76.0%, and 62.5%, respectively, in the LPE group, and 91.2%, 68.9%, and 57.6%, respectively, in the OPE group. The 1, 3, and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 82.8%, 64.9%, and 59.7%, respectively, in the LPE group and 76.9%, 57.8%, and 52.7%, respectively, in the OPE group. The 1- and 3-year cumulative local recurrence rates were 5.1% and 14.1%, respectively, in the LPE group and 8.0% and 15.1%, respectively, in the OPE group (both P>0.05). Conclusions: In locally advanced rectal cancer patients, LPE is associated with shorter operative time, less intraoperative blood loss, fewer perioperative complications, and shorter hospital stay compared with OPE. It is safe and feasible without compromising oncological effect.

Abstract
Graphdiyne, a sp- and sp2-hybridized 2D π-conjugated carbon material with well-dispersed pores and unique electronic properties, was well investigated and applied in catalysis, electronics, optics, and energy storage and conversion. Graphdiyne fragments with conjugation in 2D can provide in-depth insights for understanding the intrinsic structure-property relationships of graphdiyne. Herein, an atomic precise wheel-shaped nanographdiyne composed of six dehydrobenzo [18] annulenes ([18]DBAs, the smallest macrocyclic unit of graphdiyne), was realized through the sixfold intramolecular Eglinton coupling in the hexabutadiyne precursors obtained by the sixfold Cadiot-Chodkiewicz cross-coupling of hexaethynylbenzene. Its planar structure was revealed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The full cross-conjugation of the six 18π electron circuits yields the π-electron conjugation along the giant π core. This work provides a realizable method for the synthesis of future graphdiyne fragments with different functional groups and/or heteroatom doping, as well as the study of the unique electronic/photophysical properties and aggregation behavior of graphdiyne.

Abstract
This study aimed to improve the brewing quality of commercial Arabica coffee through anaerobic germination. Changes in important compounds and cupping scores of germination roasting coffee with different germination degrees were investigated by 1H NMR, HS-SPME-GC-MS and sensory analysis. Statistical analysis of multivariate analysis results indicated that 6 water-soluble chemical components and 8 volatile chemical components have the potential to be markers of germinated roasting coffee. In addition, germination significantly reduced caffeine content and acrylamide formation in roasted coffee. Sensory analysis according to the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) cupping protocol demonstrated that anaerobic germination modified flavor attributes, improved the quality, and increased sensory scores. Furthermore, anaerobic sprouting increased fruity descriptors, but over-sprouting did not improve overall attributes while producing both fermentative and vegetable descriptors. Therefore, suitable anaerobic germination of green coffee beans can be used as a new strategy to improve the flavor of commercial Arabica coffee.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging and R2∗ mapping of cystic fluid in differentiating ovarian endometriotic cysts (OE) from other ovarian cystic (OOC) lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 42 patients who underwent 3 T pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were enrolled. Nineteen lesions were OE and 27 lesions were OOC. The APTw imaging and R2∗ values of the cystic fluid were measured and compared between the two groups using the independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of different parameters. The area under ROC curves (AUCs) was compared using the Delong test. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between APTw imaging and R2∗ values. RESULTS APTw imaging values of OE were lower, while R2∗ values were higher in OE than those in OOC (p=0.001 and < 0.001). The AUCs of APTw imaging and R2∗ values to identify OE from OOC were 0.910 and 0.975. The AUC increased to 0.990 when combining APTw imaging and R2∗ values, yet without a significant difference to the APTw imaging or R2∗ value alone (p=0.229 and 0.082, respectively). APTw imaging values were negatively correlated with R2∗ values (r=-0.522, p<0.001). CONCLUSION Both APTw imaging and R2∗ values of OE are significantly different from other ovarian cystic lesions. APTw imaging combined with R2∗ values show excellent diagnostic efficacy to differentiate between OE and OOC.

Abstract
Objective: A permanent stoma can seriously affect patients' quality of life. Clinicians need to consider the risk of a permanent stoma when making clinical decisions. This study analyzed preoperative predictors of a permanent stoma after laparoscopic intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer (LISR), and a prediction model was constructed validated. Methods: This was a retrospective study that analyzed clinical data of 331 ultralow rectal cancer patients who were diagnosed with primary rectal adenocarcinoma by endoscopy and pathology, including 218 males and 113 female, (58.8±11.2) years and (23.7±3.1) kg/m2. The patients underwent LISR with a preventive stoma from January 2012 to December 2020. Patients with multiple primary colorectal cancers, who underwent emergency surgery for intestinal obstruction or bleeding or perforation, and did not complete 18 months follow up were exclucled. R software was used to randomly select 234 patients as the modeling group with a ratio of approximately 7:3, and the remaining 97 patients comprised the validation group. The stoma site was determined by the surgeon before the operation, and the ileum 30 cm from the ileocecal valve was selected. The rates of a permanent stoma for the entire group and the preoperative clinical factors that may affect the permanency of a stoma in the modeling group were determined. A permanent stoma was defined as failure to close the stoma at 18 months after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the preoperative independent risk factors for a permanent stoma after LISR. R software was used to create the nomogram model, and the predictive ability of the nomogram model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Among the 331 patients who underwent LISR, 37 (26 cases in the modeling group and 11 cases in the validation group, 11.2%) developed a permanent stoma for the following reasons: anastomotic stenosis due to leakage (16 cases, 43.2%), distant metastasis (16 cases, 43.2%), intolerant to stoma closure surgery (3 cases, 8.1%), stenosis due to postoperative radiation (1 case, 2.7%), and poor recovery of anorectal function (1 case, 2.7%). Univariate analysis showed that preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, poorly differentiated tumor, cT3 stage, and distant metastasis were associated with a permanent stoma. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy [OR=3.078, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.326-7.147; P=0.009], cT3 stage (OR=2.257, 95%CI: 1.001-5.091; P=0.049), and stage IV cancer (OR=16.180, 95%CI: 2.753-95.102; P=0.002) were independent risk factors for permanent stoma after LISR. Based on the selected risk factors, a nomogram model for predicting permanent stoma was constructed. The area under the ROC curve of the modeling group was 0.793, the optimal cut-off value was 0.890, the sensitivity was 0.577, and the specificity was 0.885. The area under the ROC curve of the validation group was 0.953. The corrected curves of the modeling group and the validation group showed a good degree of fit. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, cT3 stage, and distant metastasis are independent predictors of a permanent stoma after LISR, and the nomogram model is helpful to predict the probability of a permanent stoma. Patients with high-risk factors should be adequately informed of the risk of a permanent stoma before colorectal surgery.

Abstract
Chemical functionalization of carbon support for Pt catalysts is a promising way to enhance the performance of catalysts. In this study, Pt/C catalysts grafted with various amounts of phenylsulfonic acid groups were prepared under mild conditions. The influence of sulfonic acid groups on the physiochemical characteristics and electrochemical activities of the modified catalysts were studied using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, a transmission electron microscope, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The presence of the chemical groups enhanced the hydrogen adsorption onto/desorption off the Pt surface during the CV cycling. In contrast, the hydrogen peaks of the grafted catalysts increased after 500 CV cycles, especially for Pt (111) facets. The highest electrochemical surface area (ECSA) after the aging test was obtained for the catalyst with 18.0 wt.% graft, which was ca. 87.3% higher than that of the non-functionalized Pt catalyst. In the density functional theory (DFT) calculation, it was proven that SO3H adsorption on the crystalline was beneficial for Pt stability. The adsorption energy and bond distance of the adsorbed SO3H on Pt (110), (100), and (111) surfaces were calculated. All the stable configurations were obtained when O from S-O single bond or S was bound to the Pt surface, with the adsorption energy following the trend of (111)F > (100)H > (110)H. This result was consistent with the ECSA experiment, which explained the high electrochemical stability of the sulfonic acid groups-grafted Pt/C catalyst.

Abstract
The objective of this review is to evaluate the influence of six factors on coffee volatiles. At present, the poor aroma from robusta or low-quality arabica coffee can be significantly improved by advanced technology, and this subject will continue to be further studied. On the other hand, inoculating various starter cultures in green coffee beans has become a popular research direction for promoting coffee aroma and flavor. Several surveys have indicated that shade and altitude can affect the content of coffee aroma precursors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which remain to be fully elucidated. The emergence of the new roasting process has greatly enriched the aroma composition of coffee. Cold-brew coffee is one of the most popular trends in coffee extraction currently, and its influence on coffee aroma is worthy of in-depth and detailed study. Omics technology will be one of the most important means to analyze coffee aroma components and their quality formation mechanism. A better understanding of the effect of each parameter on VOCs would assist coffee researchers and producers in the optimal selection of post-harvest parameters that favor the continuous production of flavorful and top-class coffee beans and beverages. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The micronucleomics test can comprehensively display a variety of harmful endpoints, such as DNA damage and repair, chromosome breakage or loss and cell growth inhibition, with fast, simple and economical feature. Micronucleomics is not only widely used in the comprehensive assessment of the types and modes of genetic action of exogenous chemicals (such as drugs, food additives, cosmetics, environmental pollutants, etc.), but also plays an important role in the screening and risk assessment of cancer population at high risk. However, the traditional micronucleomics image counting method has the characteristics of time-consuming, low accuracy, and high cost, which cannot meet the current analysis requirements of large-scale, multi-index, rapidity, high precision and visualization. In recent years, with the rapid development of the era of precision medicine based on big data, visualized analysis of new micronucleomics based on machine learning and detection strategies based on deep learning have shown a good application prospect. This review, based on the application value of micronucleomics, systematically compares the traditional and new artificial intelligence counting of micronucleus images, and discusses the future direction of micronucleus image detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly become a global pandemic. Age is an independent factor in death from the disease, and predictive models to stratify patients according to their mortality risk are needed. AIM To compare the laboratory parameters of the younger (≤70) and the elderly (>70) groups, and develop death prediction models for the two groups according to age stratification. DESIGN A retrospective, single-center observational study. METHODS This study included 437 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China, 2020. Epidemiological information, laboratory data and outcomes were extracted from electronic medical records and compared between elderly patients and younger patients. First, recursive feature elimination (RFE) was used to select the optimal subset. Then, two random forest (RF) algorithms models were built to predict the prognoses of COVID-19 patients and identify the optimal diagnostic predictors for patients' clinical prognoses. RESULTS Comparisons of the laboratory data of the two age groups revealed many different laboratory indicators. RFE was used to select the optimal subset for analysis, from which 11 variables were screened out for the two groups. The RF algorithm were built to predict the prognoses of COVID-19 patients based on the best subset, and the area under ROC curve (AUC) of the two groups is 0.874 (95% CI: 0.833-0.915) and 0.842 (95% CI: 0.765-0.920). CONCLUSION Two prediction models for COVID-19 were developed in the patients with COVID-19 based on random forest algorithm, which provides a simple tool for the early prediction of COVID-19 mortality.

Abstract
Seven new (1-4, 6-8) diterpenoids with rare skeletons and seven known ones (9, 12, 17, 18 and 23-25) were isolated from roasted beans of Coffea arabica L. Together with previously obtained diterpenoids, a total of 26 molecules (1-25, 4a) were evaluated their activities on Cav3.1 low voltage-gated Ca2+ channel. Compounds 1, 3, 6, 7, 12, 13, 17, 19 and 24 exhibited noticeable Cav3.1 inhibitions (41.2%-96.1%) at 10 μM. The IC50 values of 1, 6, 7, 12, 13, 17 and 24 are 2.9, 2.3, 0.68, 14.8, 11.6, 6.1 and 6.8 μM, respectively. The ring moiety at C-18 and C-19, and esterification of OH-17 with long-chain fatty acids seem important for their activities. Further studies indicated that 1 and cafestol may act on different binding sits with the Cav3.1 blocker Z944, which is in clinical trial. Significantly, the present study initially shows that coffee diterpenoids are potential natural resources for Cav3.1 inhibitors.

Abstract
As a novel surgical technique, taTME has developed rapidly in recent years. TaTME inevitably attracts some skepticism on safety, efficacy, and indication. First, the controversies over taTME are mainly reflected on the safety and effectiveness of taTME. On one hand, the increase of surgical complications, such as urethral injury, CO2 embolism, anastomotic leakage and pelvic infection, has raised concerns about the safety of taTME. Second, the poor quality of taTME specimens, the increased local recurrence rate and the impaired anal function after taTME, also make people question the effectiveness of taTME. Third, there are more or less controversies in the selection of taTME cases, surgical procedures and cost-effectiveness. However, it can not be denied that taTME has a promising future in view of both surgical theory and clinical practice. Furthermore, taTME is a relatively safe and effective supplementary surgical procedure, especially for patients with low rectal cancer. We should attach more importance to structured training for beginners and conduct high-quality clinical studies in the future development of taTME in China, so as to ensure the safe implementation of taTME and obtain high-level evidence-based medicine evidence, and then standardize the clinical practice of taTME.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common perioperative complication of heart and great vessels surgery, aggravating the original myocardial damage and seriously affecting the postoperative recovery of cardiac function. The aim of this study was to reveal the functional effects and potential mechanisms of notoginsenoside R1 (NG-R1) in myocardial cells injured by hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R). METHODS The rat cardiomyocyte line H9c2 was subjected to H/R with or without NG-R1 treatment. The levels of miR-132 and HBEGF in the cell were altered by microRNA or short-hairpin RNA transfection. Cell viability, apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were monitored. Dual luciferin was used to detect the relationship between miR-132 and HBEGF. RESULTS NG-R1 (20 μM) had no impact on H9c2 cells, but cell viability was significantly reduced at 80 μM. NG-R1 (20 μM) protected H9c2 cells against H/R-induced cell damage, accompanied by increased cell viability, reduced cell apoptosis, and downregulation of LDH and MDA. Furthermore, the level of miR-132 was decreased in response to H/R exposure but then increased after NG-R1 treatment. When miR-132 was overexpressed, H/R-induced cell damage could be recovered. Downregulation of miR-132 limited the protective effect of NG-R1 on H/R damage. We also found that HBEGF was a direct target of miR-132. The expression of HBEGF was increased upon H/R damage, and this increase was reversed after NG-R1 treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that NG-R1 markedly protected H9c2 cells against H/R-induced damage via upregulation of miR-132 and downregulation of its target protein HBEGF.

Abstract
This work aimed to study the composition differences of roasted beans between 12 coffee cultivars (Catimor 7963, HIBRIDO DE TIMOR, Ruiru 11, Castillo, DTARI 296, DTARI 366, DTARI 392, DTARI 585, SL28, SL34, Catuai-Amarelo and Catuai-Vermelho) from Bourbon-Typica group and Introgressed group under subtropical humid monsoon climate. The water-soluble compounds of roasted coffee beans were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), and the aroma components were analyzed by static headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry (SHS-GC/MS). In total, 20 water soluble compounds and 43 volatile compounds were identified. Both water-soluble and volatile compounds are rich in acidic substances, and the content varied depending on the cultivars. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) clustered 12 coffee cultivars into four groups. The four different chemically defined clusters of Arabica cultivars produced by chemical differences cannot reflect the traditional grouping based on introgressed, and it is one-sided to judge coffee quality based on lineage. These results give further insight into the quality characteristics of different coffee cultivars, which is of great significance for guiding the adjustment of cultivars' structure and the breeding of new cultivars.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Studies have demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important in the development and prognosis of prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the functions and mechanism of lnc-SNHG14 in prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) or Western blot (WB) were performed to detect mRNA expressions of SNHG14 and miR-5590-3p, and the protein levels of Yin Yang-1 (YY1) in prostate cancer tissues, adjacent tissues, and cancer cell lines. The correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations between SNHG14, miR-5590-3p, and YY1. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to analyze the overall survival for prostate cancer patients. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was performed to measure cell proliferation ability and flow cytometry assay was used to detect cell apoptotic rate. Besides, transwell assay was used to measure cell invasion ability. In addition, WB was performed to measure protein expressions in prostate cancer cell lines. Finally, Luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the binding sites between SNHG14 and miR-5590-3p, miR-5590-3p, and YY1. RESULTS The results showed that SNHG14 was significantly increased in prostate cancer tissues and prostate cancer cell lines, which were related with advanced stage and poor diagnosis for prostate cancer patients. MiR-5590-3p was reduced in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines, which were negatively correlated with SNHG14. YY1 was found to be increased in prostate cancer tissues, which was negatively correlated with miR-5590-3p and positively correlated with SNHG14. Furthermore, SNHG14 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis in DU145 cells. In addition, protein expressions of Cyclin D1, Bcl-2, and N-cadherin were repressed, and the levels of Bax, Cleaved Caspase-3, and E-cadherin were increased. Besides, miR-5590-3p inhibition promoted cell proliferation and invasion, and inhibited apoptosis in DU145 cells. Importantly, Luciferase reporter assay proved that SNHG14 could directly sponge with miR-5590-3p, which could bind with YY1 and regulate the functions of cancer cell. Finally, we proved that SNHG14 regulated cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, and invasion via miR-5590-3p/ YY1 axis in prostate cancer. CONCLUSIONS Above all, we found that SNHG14 was increased in prostate cancer patients, which was related with future diagnosis for prostate cancer patients. Of note, we discovered that SNHG14 could promote cell proliferation, invasion, and repress cell apoptosis via miR-5590-3p/YY1 axis in prostate cancer, which might provide a new target for treating prostate cancer.

Abstract
Meiosis is critical to generating oocytes and ensuring female fertility; however, the mechanisms regulating the switch from mitotic primordial germ cells to meiotic germ cells are poorly understood. Here, we implicate intercellular bridges (ICBs) in this state transition. We used three-dimensional in toto imaging to map meiotic initiation in the mouse fetal ovary and revealed a radial geometry of this transition that precedes the established anterior-posterior wave. Our studies reveal that appropriate timing of meiotic entry across the ovary and coordination of mitotic-meiotic transition within a cyst depend on the ICB component Tex14, which we show is required for functional cytoplasmic sharing. We find that Tex14 mutants more rapidly attenuate the pluripotency transcript Dppa3 upon meiotic initiation, and Dppa3 mutants undergo premature meiosis similar to Tex14 Together, these results lead to a model that ICBs coordinate and buffer the transition from pluripotency to meiosis through dilution of regulatory factors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the thermal injury effects on human HaCaT cells under simulated microgravity environment. Methods: The human HaCaT cells were collected and divided into simulated microgravity thermal injury (SMGTI) group, normal gravity thermal injury (NGTI) group, and normal gravity false injury (NGFI) group according to the random number table. Cells in NGTI and NGFI groups were cultured routinely in culture bottle, and cells in SMGTI group were cultured in the rotary cell culture system to simulate microgravity environment. Cells in SMGTI and NGTI groups were bathed in hot water of 45 ℃ for 10 minutes to make thermal injury model, and cells in NGFI group were bathed in warm water of 37 ℃ for 10 minutes to simulate thermal injury. At post injury hour (PIH) 12, cell morphology of 3 groups was observed under inverted phase contrast electron microscope. At PIH 2, 6, and 12, single cell suspension in the 3 groups was collected to detect the cell cycle by flow cytometer and the mRNA expressions of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), and cysteine-aspartic protease 3 (caspase-3) by real time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and the experiments were repeated for 3 times. At PIH 2, 6, and 12, cell culture supernatant in the 3 groups was collected to detect the concentration of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method, the experiment was repeated for 3 times. The sample in each group and each time point was 3. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for factorial design, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: (1) At PIH 12, cells in NGFI group showed regular shape and regular arrangement, with no cell debris. The cell shape in NGTI group was generally regular, with fewer cell debris and closer arrangement than that in NGFI group. The cells in SMGTI group showed more irregular shapes, different sizes, and dead cell debris. (2) The percentage of G1 phase cells in NGTI group was significantly higher than that in NGFI group and SMGTI group at PIH 2, respectively (P<0.05), and the percentage of G1 phase cells in NGTI group was significantly lower than that in NGFI group and SMGTI group at PIH 6 and 12, respectively (P<0.05). The percentage of G2/M phase cells in NGTI group was significantly lower than that in SMGTI group at PIH 2 (P<0.05), and the percentage of G2/M phase cells in NGTI group was significantly higher than that in NGFI group and SMGTI group at PIH 6 and 12, respectively (P<0.05). The percentage of S phase cells in NGTI group at PIH 2, 6, and 12 was significantly higher than that in SMGTI group (P<0.05), and the percentage of S phase cells in NGTI group at PIH 2 and 6 was significantly lower than that in NGFI group (P<0.05). (3) The HSP70 mRNA expressions of cells in NGTI group were 2.50±0.30 and 3.99±0.35 at PIH 2 and 6, which were significantly higher than 1.14±0.15 and 0.82±0.27 in NGFI group (P<0.05), and 1.17±0.53 and 1.65±0.59 in SMGTI group (P<0.05). The MMP-9 mRNA expression of cells in SMGTI group was significantly higher than that in NGTI group at PIH 2, 6, and 12, respectively (Z=-2.319, -2.882, -2.908, P<0.05). At each time point after injury, the mRNA expression of caspase-3 of cells in NGTI group was similar to that in NGFI group and SMGTI group, respectively (P>0.05). (4) The concentration of HB-EGF in cell culture supernatant of NGTI group was significantly lower than that in NGFI group at PIH 2, 6 and 12 (P<0.05), and the concentration of HB-EGF in cell culture supernatant of SMGTI group was significantly higher than that in NGTI group at PIH 2 and 6 (P<0.05). Conclusions: The proliferation and secretion functions and expression of wound repair related protein of human HaCaT cells inflicted with thermal injury in simulated microgravity environment showed complex and diversified changes, which provide theoretical basis for further research on damage repair under weightlessness.

Abstract
A new method, multivariate similarity clustering analysis (MSCA) method, was established for biogeographical distribution analyzing. General similarity formula (GSF), the core of MSCA method, can be used to calculate the similarity coefficients between 2 and among any ≥ 3 geographical units. Taking the global insects as example, we introduced the steps to use of GSF and consequent clustering processes of this method in details. Firstly, geographical distributions of certain taxa (e.g. Insecta) were categorized into basic geographical units (BGUs); Secondly, similarity coefficients between 2 and among n BGUs were calculated using GSF. Thirdly, hierarchical clustering was conducted according to values of similarity coefficients (from high to low); then a clustering diagram was generated. Finally, a framework of biogeographical division map was established for the target taxa (e.g. Insecta). We concluded that the MSCA method was efficiently applied in analyzing the biogeographical distribution of given biological taxa; the geographical regions regarding global insects were categorized into 7 Realms with 20 sub-Realms based on the results of MSCA method.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the incidence rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and assess the effect of metabolic risk factor management on the development of CVD in patients with diabetes. METHODS We studied 733 patients with diabetes without prior CVD in the Shanghai Taopu community health service center. Success in managing CVD risk factors was evaluated as follows: (1) glucose control (haemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] <7.0% in patients aged <65years and <8.0% in patients aged ≥65years), (2) blood pressure control (<140/90mmHg), and (3) lipid control (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥1.0mmol/L in men and ≥1.3mmol/L in women, and triglycerides <1.7mmol/L). RESULTS During a median 8.0-year follow-up, 206 CVD incident cases were identified. Each 1% increment in HbA1c, 10mmHg increment in systolic blood pressure (SBP), and 1mmol/L increment in triglycerides during follow-up significantly increased the risk of CVD by 17%, 37%, and 14%, respectively. Compared to those who did not, patients who met the blood pressure and glucose control goals during follow-up had a 64% and a 29% decreased risk of CVD, respectively. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios of CVD were 1.00, 1.78 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-2.87), and 2.51 (95% CI 1.54-4.07) among patients who attained three, two, and one/none of the CVD factor control goals (HbA1c, blood pressure, and lipid) during follow-up, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Average levels of HbA1c, SBP, and triglycerides during follow-up were positively associated with the risk of CVD, and treatment targeting multiple factors can significantly reduce CVD risk.

Abstract
Ganoderma mushrooms have been widely used as functional food in China, Japan, and Korea. Ganoderma triterpenoids are deemed to be the main functional constituents. The structures of Ganoderma triterpenoids are complex but quite similar, which makes their analyses markedly limited. In this study, we developed a general 2D NMR method to differentiate Ganoderma triterpenoids, which classifies them into six types (A-F). Then, by the NMR-based isolation of A-F type triterpenoids from the fruiting bodies of G. resinaceum, four new compounds (1-4) and eight known compounds (5-12) were obtained. Moreover, combined with spiking experiments in 1D and 2D NMR spectra, compounds 5, 7, and 8, which belong to triterpenoids of A and B types, were identified. At the end, to achieve a more extensive application for this NMR method, a qNMR method for the absolute quantification of 5, 7, and 8 in the gross triterpenoids from G. resinaceum was set up. The results showed that this NMR method is reliable for the NMR-guided isolation and quantification of triterpenoids in G. resinaceum.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) that have accumulated in the environment are emerging as contaminating pollutants due to their interactions with metal ions. MPs change the migration and transformation of metal ions in the environment and afterward impact their environmental presence. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the interaction characteristics and mechanisms between Cd2+and MPs for assessing the ecological impacts of MPs. The traditional sequencing batch equilibrium test demonstrated that the sorption of Cd2+ onto MPs was related to the type of MPs present, the pH value of the solution, the ionic strength of the participants and the presence of humic acid. The sorption dynamics and isotherm experiment illustrated that the interactions were controlled by surface sorption and distribution effects. The specific surface area and surface charge were the main factors in managing the sorption process. FTIR spectra and a 2D-COS analysis showed that different functional groups played an important role in the sorption of Cd2+onto MPs. The results from this work afford new insights on how MPs may play an important role in the fate and transport of heavy metals and present a new analysis method for evaluating the environmental behavior of MPs and their role in transporting other contaminants.

Abstract
The study was aimed to develop an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which can detect specifically Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1). The primers were designed based on the conserved sequence of FHV-1 glycoprotein B gene. The recombinant protein with reactogenicity was purified as coating antigen of the assay. The indirect ELISA, characterized by high sensitivity showed no cross-reaction with two types of feline virus, had detection limit at 1:2000 dilution. The positive rate of the assay, according to the determined cutoff value (0.25), was basically consistent with Feline Herpes Virus Antibody ELISA kit. In conclusion, the indirect ELISA with high repeatability and reproducibility can be used for detecting FHV-1, and can provide necessary support to related research.

Abstract
In order to understand infection of avian influenza A virus (AIV) and canine distemper virus (CDV) in the Siberian Tiger in Northeast China, 75 Siberian Tiger serum samples from three cap- tive facilities in northeastern China were collected. AIV and CDV antibody surveillance was test- ed by using hemagglutination inhibition and serum neutralization methods. The results showed that the seroprevalence of H5 AIV, H9 AIV and CDV was respectively 9.33% (7/75), 61.33% (46/75) and 16% (12/75). In the 1⟨years ⟨2 and > 5 year-old group, the seroprevalence of the H9 AIV was 24% and 80% (P ⟨ 0.01), and the CDV seroprevalence was 6% and 36% (P ⟨ 0.01), respectively. It was demonstrated that 3 (4%) out of 75 serum samples were AIV+CDV seropos- itive, with 2.67% (2/75) in H9+AIV and 1.33% (1/75) in H5+H9+AIV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of AIV and CDV seroprevalence in Siberian Tigers in China, which will provide base-line data for the control of AIV and CDV infection in Siberian Tigers in China.

Abstract
Overexpression of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is associated with progression of several cancers. The expression of Shh in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been reported with inconsistent results. Lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) are two major subtypes of NSCLC, which have different genetic genotypes and clinical therapeutic options. The expression of Shh in specimen of patients with NSCLC has yet to be comprehensively determined according to histological subtypes. Shh expression level was determined in 167 NSCLC patients (56 LAC patients and 111 LSCC patients) by immunohistochemical assay (IHC) and disease-free survival and overall survival of patients were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Shh protein level in pleural effusion from patients with pneumonia or pleural empyema, tuberculosis, LAC and LSCC was measured with enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). We found that Shh expression is increased in tumor tissues from both LAC and LSCC patients compared with the paired adjacent tissues, while Shh level is negatively correlated with tumor differentiation only in LSCC, LSCC patients containing higher-Shh expression have a poorer prognosis. Furthermore, Shh level is elevated in pleural effusion from LSCC patients compared with that of parapneumonic and LAC pleural effusion. Shh expression in tumor tissues or pleural effusion may represent a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker of LSCC patients, pleural effusion Shh may assist to distinguish between LAC and LSCC.

Abstract
We report high-energy mid-infrared pulse generation by Q-switching of dysprosium-doped fiber lasers for the first time. Two different modulation techniques are demonstrated. Firstly, using active acousto-optic modulation, pulses are produced with up to 12 μJ energy and durations as short as 270 ns, with variable repetition rates from 100 Hz to 20 kHz and central wavelengths tunable from 2.97 to 3.23 μm. Experiments are supported by numerical modeling, identifying routes for improved pulse energies and to avoid multi-pulsing by careful choice of modulator parameters. Secondly, we demonstrate passive Q-switching by fabricating an inkjet-printed black phosphorus saturable absorber, simplifying the cavity and generating 1.0 μJ pulses with 740 ns duration. The performance and relative merits of each modulation approach are then critically discussed. These demonstrations highlight the potential of dysprosium as a versatile gain medium for high-performance pulsed sources beyond 3 μm.
