Abstract
Bacterial and fungal aerosol pollution is widespread in indoor school environments, and poses potential health risks to students and staff. Understanding the distribution and diversity of microbial communities within aerosols is crucial to mitigate their adverse effects. Existing knowledge regarding the composition of bacterial and fungal aerosols, particularly the presence of potential pathogenic microorganisms in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from nursery schools to universities, is limited. To bridge this knowledge gap, in the present study, we collected PM2.5 samples from five types of schools (i.e., nursery schools, primary schools, junior schools, and high schools and universities) in China. We used advanced single-molecule real-time sequencing to analyze the species-level diversity of bacterial and fungal components in PM2.5 samples based on 16S and ITS ribosomal genes, respectively. We found significant differences in microbial diversity and community composition among the samples obtained from different educational institutions and pollution levels. In particularly, junior schools exhibited higher PM2.5 concentrations (62.2-86.6 μg/m3) than other schools (14.4-48.4 μg/m3). Moreover, microbial variations in PM2.5 samples were associated with institution type. Notably, the prevailing pathogenic microorganisms included Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Schizophyllum commune, all of which were identified as Class II Pathogenic Microorganisms in school settings. Four potentially novel strains of S. commune were identified in PM2.5 samples collected from the university; the four strains showed 92.4 %-94.1 % ITS sequence similarity to known Schizophyllum isolates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore bacterial and fungal diversity within PM2.5 samples from nursery schools to universities. Overall, these findings contribute to the existing knowledge of school environmental microbiology to ensure the health and safety of students and staff and impacting public health.

Abstract
NLRP3 inflammasome can be activated by a variety of stimuli and plays an important role in protecting host from pathogen invasion and maintaining homeostasis. However, the activation mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome in fish is still unclear. In the present study, the NLRP3 gene (CcNLRP3) was identified from common carp, which was 3069 bp in length and encoded a protein with five domains. Sequence analysis showed that NLRP3 was evolutionarily conserved, and CcNLRP3 was closely related to that in grass carp and zebrafish. Real-time PCR showed that CcNLRP3 was widely expressed in various immune-related tissues of healthy common carp, and significantly increased after stimulation with E. tarda, A. hydrophila and Cyprinus spring viremia virus (SVCV), suggesting that CcNLRP3 might be involved in the immune defense of common carp. The results of co-IP, spot formation, oligomerization and fluorescence localization showed that CcNLRP3 could interact with CcASC and assemble into inflammasome. The cytotoxicity assays showed that CcNLRP3 inflammasome was involved in the pyroptosis induced by CcGSDME. At the same time, CcNLRP3 could directly interact with CcCaspase-A/B and result in increased Caspase-B enzyme activity and LDH release, indicating that CcNLRP3 could also form inflammasome through ASC-independent pathway. Taken together, the results provide targets and theoretical basis for the prevention and control of infectious diseases in aquaculture.

Abstract
Bacteria and fungi are abundant and ubiquitous in bioaerosols in hospital environments. Understanding the distribution and diversity of microbial communities within bioaerosols is critical for mitigating their detrimental effects. Our knowledge on the composition of bacteria or fungi in bioaerosols is limited, especially the potential pathogens present in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from specialized hospitals. Thirty p.m.2.5 filter samples were collected from five hospitals (i.e., oral, dermatology, chest, eye, and general hospitals) in Shandong Province, East China. The diversity of bacteria and fungi was analyzed at the species level using single-molecule real-time sequencing of the 16 S and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS) ribosomal genes, respectively. Significant differences were detected across sampling sites in terms of microbial diversity and community composition in PM2.5 as well as pollution concentrations. The range of PM2.5 concentrations observed in hospital halls was higher, ranging from 39.0 to 46.2 μg/m3, compared to the wards where the concentrations ranged from 10.7 to 25.2 μg/m3. Furthermore, microbial variations in PM2.5 bioaerosols were associated with hospital type. The most dominant pathogens identified were Vibrio metschnikovii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Fusarium pseudensiforme, and Aspergillus ruber. Among these, A. ruber was identified as an opportunistic fungus in a hospital setting for the first time. Nine potentially novel strains of F. pseudensiforme, showing 84.5%-92.0% ITS sequence similarity to known Fusarium isolates, were identified in PM2.5 samples from all hospitals (excluding an eye hospital). This study highlights the importance of hospital environments in shaping microbial aerosol communities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to provide insights into the bacterial and fungal biodiversity of PM2.5 in specialized hospitals, enriching research in healthcare environmental microbiology and carrying significant public health implications.

Abstract
Fish live in an aquatic environment rich in various microorganisms and pathogens. Fish mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) plays a very important role in immune defence. This study was conducted to characterize the immune response mediated by CcIgZ3 in common carp (Cyprinus carpio.) and investigate the proliferating CcIgZ3+ B lymphocytes in gill. We determined the expression of CcIgZ3 in many different tissues of common carp following stimulation by intraperitoneal injection of TNP-LPS (2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl hapten conjugated to lipopolysaccharide) or TNP-KLH (2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl hapten conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin). Compared with TNP-KLH, TNP-LPS can induce greater CcIgZ3 expression in the head kidney, gill and hindgut, especially in the gill. The results indicate that the gill is one of the main sites involved in the immune response mediated by CcIgZ3. To examine the distribution of CcIgZ3+ B lymphocytes, immunohistochemistry (IHC) experiments were performed using a polyclonal antibody against CcIgZ3. The results indicated that CcIgZ3 was detected in the head kidney, hindgut and gill. To further examine whether CcIgZ3+ B lymphocytes proliferate in the gills, proliferating CcIgZ3+ B cells were analysed by immunofluorescence staining using an anti-CcIgZ3 polyclonal antibody and an anti-PCNA monoclonal antibody. CcIgZ3 and PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) double-labelled cells in the gills were located within the epithelial cells of the gill filaments of common carp stimulated with TNP-LPS at 3 dps and 7 dps, and relatively more proliferating CcIgZ3+ B cells appeared in the gills of common carp at 7 dps. These data imply that CcIgZ3+ B cells in the gills might be produced by local proliferation following TNP-LPS stimulation. In summary, compared with those in TNP-KLH, CcIgZ3 preferentially affects the gills of common carp following challenge with TNP-LPS. CcIgZ3+ B cells proliferate in the gills to quickly produce the CcIgZ3 antibody. In addition, CcIgZ3+ B cells can be activated to induce a strong immune response very early locally in the gill and produce the antibody CcIgZ3, which helps exert an immune-protective effect. These results suggest that an effective vaccine can be designed to promote production of the mucosal antibody CcIgZ3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between bone metabolism markers, bone mineral density (BMD), and sarcopenia. METHODS A total of 331 consecutive patients aged ≥ 60 years who were hospitalized between November 2020 and December 2021 were enrolled. Participants were divided into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups according to the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia criteria (AWGS, 2019). The clinical data, bone metabolism markers (β-CTX, N-MID, and TP1NP), and BMD were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Age, β-CTX, and N-MID of the sarcopenia group were higher than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05), but the BMD T values were lower than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that increased femoral neck BMD (FNBMD) was a protective factor for sarcopenia, while increased β-CTX was a risk factor. Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis showed that the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia were positively correlated with FNBMD and negatively correlated with β-CTX and N-MID. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that BMI and FNBMD significantly positively affected muscle strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM). The FNBMD significantly positively affected physical performance, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected muscle strength, ASM, and physical performance. CONCLUSION Increased FNBMD may be a protective factor against sarcopenia, and increased β-CTX may be a risk factor. The FNBMD significantly positively affected the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected them. BMD and bone metabolism marker levels may be considered in early screening for sarcopenia.

Abstract
AIM To examine the diagnostic performance of different models based on computed tomography (CT) imaging features in differentiating the invasiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with multiple pleural contact types. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1,573 patients with NSCLC (tumour size ≤3 cm) were included retrospectively. The clinical and pathological data and preoperative imaging features of these patients were investigated and their relationships with visceral pleural invasion (VPI) were compared statistically. Multivariate logistic regression was used to eliminate confounding factors and establish different predictive models. RESULTS By univariate analysis and multivariable adjustment, surgical history, tumour marker (TM), number of pleural tags, length of solid contact and obstructive inflammation were identified as independent risk predictors of pleural invasiveness (p=0.014, 0.003, <0.001, <0.001, and 0.017, respectively). In the training group, comparison of the diagnostic efficacy between the combined model including these five independent predictors and the image feature model involving the latter three imaging predictors were as follows: sensitivity of 88.9% versus 77% and specificity of 73.5% versus 84.1%, with AUC of 0.868 (95% CI: 0.848-0.886) versus 0.862 (95% CI: 0.842-0.880; p=0.377). In the validation group, the sensitivity and specificity of these two models were as follow: the combined model, 93.5% and 74.3%, the imaging feature model, 77.4% and 81.3%, and their areas under the curve (AUCs) were both 0.884 (95% CI: 0.842-0.919). The best cut-off value of length of solid contact was 7.5 mm (sensitivity 68.9%, specificity 75.5%). CONCLUSIONS The image feature model showed great potential in predicting pleural invasiveness, and had comparable diagnostic efficacy compared with the combined model containing clinical data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study explored the changes and new characteristics of burnout and turnover intention of primary health care (PHC) providers during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS This study investigated 1326 PHC providers during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2022 in one district of Shanghai, China. Independent t-test or one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test were used to analyse the between-group variation of variables associated to burnout and turnover intention. Then, hierarchical regression analysis was used to further determine the impact of certain variables on burnout and turnover intention, the relationship of burnout on turnover intention and the possible moderating effect. RESULTS The results showed that there was no significant change in the prevalence of overall burnout of PHC providers compared to the pre-epidemic period; however, there was a significant increase in high-level burnout. No significant change in turnover intention at the moderate level and above was observed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, PHC providers who were older, married, local and had a higher skill level had higher burnout, while PHC providers who were male, unmarried, non-local and separated from their family had a higher turnover intention. It was shown that burnout, with its three sub-dimensions, was a good predictor of turnover intention. The impact of burnout on turnover intention was shown to be alleviated by certain variables, including being married, living locally and receiving benefit packages, including the preferential education policy for children and talent incentive policies. CONCLUSIONS Results from this study have highlighted the importance of paying attention to vulnerable groups of PHC providers, for example those who are separated from their families, during emergency situations. Various incentive tools could be comprehensively used to ensure the stability and efficiency of PHC human resources.

Abstract
Blimp1 is the master regulator of B cell terminal differentiation in mammals, it inhibits expression of many transcription factors including bcl6, which provides the basis for promoting further development of activated B lymphocytes into plasma cells. Blimp-1 is thought to act as a sequence-specific recruitment factor for chromatin-modifying enzymes including histone deacetylases (HDAC) and methyltransferases to repress target genes. The cDNA of Ccblimp1a (Cyprinus carpio) open reading frame is 2337 bp encoding a protein of 777 amino acids. CcBlimp1a contains a SET domain, two Proline Rich domains, and five ZnF_C2H2 domains. Blimp1 are conserved in vertebrate species. Ccblimp1a transcripts were detected in common carp larvae from 1 dpf (day post fertilization)to 31 dpf. Ccblimp1a expression was up-regulated in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) and spleen leukocytes (SPL) of common carp stimulated by intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. Ccblimp1a expression in PBL and SPL of common carp was induced by TNP-LPS and TNP-KLH. The results indicated TNP-LPS induced a rapid response in PBL and TNP-KLH induced much stronger response in SPL and PBL. IHC results showed that CcBlimp1 positive cells were distributed in the head kidney, trunk kidney, liver, and gut. Immunofluorescence stain results showed that CcBlimp1 was expressed in IgM + lymphocytes. The subcellular localization of CcBlimp1 in the nuclei indicated CcBlimp1 may be involved in the differentiation of IgM + lymphocytes. Further study focusing on the function of CcBlimp1 transcriptional repression was performed using dual luciferase assay. The results showed that the transcription repression of CcBlimp1 on bcl6aa promoter was affected by the histone deacetylation inhibitor and was synergized with histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). The results of Co-IP in HEK293T and immunoprecipitation in SPL indicated that CcBlimp1 recruited HDAC3 and might be involved in the formation of complexes. These results suggest that CcBlimp1 is an important transcription factor in common carp lymphocytes. Histone deacetylation modification mediated by HDAC3 may have important roles in CcBlimp1 transcriptional repression during the differentiation of lymphocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It remains unknown about the relationship between vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) calcification and plaque instability. We aimed to investigate the characteristics of VBA calcification using vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) and its association with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). METHODS Nine hundred and thirty patients with VBA stenosis who underwent vessel wall MRI and CT examinations were evaluated retrospectively. Calcification morphology was classified as either intimal or non-intimal predominant using a CT-pathology-validated grading method. Qualitative and quantitative plaque MRI variables and calcification characteristics were compared between culprit and non-culprit lesions. The association between VBA calcification and the occurrence of culprit lesions was investigated using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 150 patients with ACI and 142 patients without ACI were eligible for subsequent analyses, respectively. In the qualitative analysis, T1 hyperintensity (p < 0.001) and intimal predominant calcification (p = 0.021) were more frequently observed in the culprit than non-culprit lesions. In the quantitative analyses, culprit lesions had a larger stenosis degree, plaque length, normal wall index, contrast enhancement ratio, lower calcification density and smaller calcification volume than non-culprit lesions (p all < 0.05). Intimal predominant calcification (odds ratio [OR], 2.51; 95 % confident interval [CI], 1.31-4.82, p = 0.006) and calcification density (OR, 0.53; 95 % CI, 0.35-0.78, p = 0.001) were independently associated with the presence of ACI after adjusting for clinical risk factors and plaque variables. CONCLUSIONS Intimal predominant calcification in vertebrobasilar atherosclerosis is associated with the likelihood of having caused acute cerebral infarction. The morphology and density of VBA calcification may provide insight into stroke risk stratification in the posterior circulation.

Abstract
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) serve as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein and modulates innate immune responses to viral contagion. Most investigations involving teleost STING antiviral immunity have examined DNA viruses. Therefore, fish STING signaling events against RNA viruses require additional exploration. Here, common carp STING (named CcSTING) was cloned and characterized. The bioinformatics analyses of CcSTING showed evolutionary conservations and were most closely related to other cyprinid STINGs. Immunofluorescence staining discovered that the CcSTING was chiefly placed in the cytoplasm, specifically within the ER. CcSTING was ubiquitously generated in all analyzed organs, with especially strong expression in the gills and head kidney. Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) stimulation and poly(I:C) infection induced the generation of CcSTING in immune-associated organs, as well as in peripheral blood leukocytes. Additional investigations revealed that CcSTING overexpression strongly suppressed SVCV replication in EPC cells. Mechanistically, CcSTING enhanced IFN-1 and ISGs expression following SVCV infection. CcSTING also substantially increased both IFN and NF-κB promoter luciferase activity via a dosage-dependent fashion. Lastly, CcSTING significantly up-regulated both TBK1 and p65 phosphorylation. Collectively, these findings demonstrated the critical role and underlying mechanism of fish STING in response to RNA virus.

Abstract
At present, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has caused a serious impact on a global scale. The infection and carrier rate of MRSA in the community is increasing year by year, but there is still no convenient detection system for on-site rapid detection. It is very important to select a rapid detection system to accurately and quickly detect patients infected with MRSA. We have developed a high-efficient single-tube detection platform based on RPA and CRISPR reaction system to detect the genes of mecA and clfA of MRSA. Using this detection platform, visual MRSA detection could be achieved in 30 min. It was observed that this detection platform was capable to successfully detect the target genomic as low as 5 copies μL-1, and the reaction was completed in one step without opening the lid. This detection platform could only detect MRSA, but not other common clinical pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus xylosus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus warneri, indicated its satisfactory selectivity for MRSA without interference from other bacteria. The results of clinical samples show that the platform has outstanding advantages in sensitivity, specificity and identification of methicillin resistance. The entire reaction can be completed in one step in the handheld instrument without opening the cover, avoiding aerosol pollution during the reaction. The detection platform combined with handheld instruments will have great application potential in point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Intelectin is a lectin with the capacity to recognize and bind to carbohydrates. In this study, we successfully cloned cITLN3 from common carp, which consists of a signal peptide domain, a FReD domain, and an intelectin domain. The expression levels of cITLN3 were detected in various organs of common carp, including the liver, head kidney, spleen, foregut, midgut, and hindgut, with the highest expression observed in the liver. Following infection with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) or Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila), the expression level of cITLN3 was significantly upregulated in all organs of common carp. Subsequently, we expressed and purified the recombinant cITLN3 protein using an E. coli expression system. The cITLN3 could aggregate both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in the presence of Ca2+, with a stronger affinity for gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, our study demonstrated that cITLN3 displayed a higher binding affinity towards PGN compared to LPS. Furthermore, we observed that cITLN3 had the potential to inhibit bacterial proliferation in common carp and safeguard intestinal integrity during bacterial stimulation. And the results also indicated that cITLN3 might played a role in the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) signaling pathway activation.

Abstract
The long-term success rate of dental implants can be improved by establishing a favorable biological sealing with a high-quality epithelial attachment. The application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) holds promise for facilitating the soft tissue integration around implants, but the molecular mechanism is still unclear and the general application of MSC sheet for soft tissue integration is also relatively unexplored. We found that gingival tissue-derived MSC (GMSC) sheet treatment significantly promoted the expression of hemidesmosome (HD)-related genes and proteins in gingival epithelial cells (GECs). The formation of HDs played a key role in strengthening peri-implant epithelium (PIE) sealing. Further, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing showed that GMSC sheet significantly upregulated the PI3K/AKT pathway, confirming that cell adhesion and HD expression in GECs were regulated by GMSC sheet. We observed that the expression of transcription factor CREB3L2 in GECs was downregulated. After treatment with PI3K pathway inhibitor LY294002, CREB3L2 messenger RNA and protein expression levels were upregulated. Further experiments showed that overexpression or knockdown of CREB3L2 could significantly inhibit or promote HD-related genes and proteins, respectively. We confirmed that CREB3L2 was a transcription factor downstream of the PI3K/AKT pathway and participated in the formation of HDs regulated by GMSC sheet. Finally, through the establishment of early implant placement model in rats, we clarified the molecular function of CREB3L2 in PIE sealing as a mechanical transmission molecule in GECs. The application of GMSC sheet-implant complex could enhance the formation of HDs at the implant-PIE interface and decrease the penetration distance of horseradish peroxidase between the implant and PIE. Meanwhile, GMSC sheet reduced the length of CREB3L2 protein expression on PIE. These findings elucidate the potential function and molecular mechanism of MSC sheet regulating the epithelial sealing around implants, providing new insights and ideas for the application of stem cell therapy in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) This study aimed to investigate the effect of effective dose to immune cell (EDIC) combined with pre-radiotherapy (RT) absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) on treatment-related lymphopenia during RT and treatment outcome in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A subgroup analysis in patients who received consolidation immunotherapy was also conducted. MATERIALS/METHODS Between August 2008 and December 2021, 517 patients with locally advanced NSCLC treated with definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had serial complete-blood-count tests at pre-, and during-CRT. Severe lymphopenia was defined as ALC < 0.5x109cells/L during RT. EDIC was calculated according to mean doses of the lung, heart and the total body. The patients were grouped according to high and low EDIC and pre-RT ALC and was assessed for its correlation with radiation induced lymphopenia and survival outcomes. RESULTS Of 517 eligible patients, most of the patients received weekly paclitaxel with carboplatin (90.3%) and 195 patients (37.7%) received consolidation immunotherapy following CRT. A median radiation dose of 63 Gy (IQR, 60-64.5) was delivered in 30 fractions. The optimal cutoff value of EDIC and pre-RT ALC for predicting severe lymphopenia were 2.89 Gy and 2.03x109cells/L, respectively. High risk group was defined as EDIC ≥ 2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC < 2.03x109cells/L, low risk group as EDIC <2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC ≥ 2.03x109cells/L, and intermediate group as EDIC ≥ 2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC ≥ 2.03x109cells/L or EDIC < 2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC < 2.03x109cells/L. The incidence of severe lymphopenia during RT in high, intermediate, and low risk group was 90.1%, 77.1%, and 52.3%, respectively (p<0.001). The risk groups were independent predictors for both progression-free survival (PFS) (p<0.001) and overall survival (OS) (p<0.001). The high-risk group had higher incidence of locoregional and distant recurrences (p<0.001). In the subset of patients who were treated with consolidation immunotherapy, the risk groups were predictive of severe lymphopenia (p = 0.001), PFS (p = 0.004), and OS (p = 0.012). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the combination of EDIC and pre-RT ALC is a predictor for severe lymphopenia during RT, recurrence, and survival in patients with locally advanced NSCLC who received CRT. Moreover, the combination of EDIC and pre-RT ALC may serve as a potential biomarker for the benefit of maintenance immunotherapy.

Abstract
Pigmented rodent tooth enamel is mainly composed of parallel hydroxyapatite nanorods and a small amount of organic matrix. These hydroxyapatite nanorods tend to be carbonated and contain traces of iron, fluorine, and magnesium. The pigmented rodent tooth enamel which contains trace iron is stronger and more resistant to acid corrosion than unpigmented rodent enamel, which could provide inspiration for the preparation and synthesis of high performance and corrosion resistant artificial materials. However, the regulatory role and mechanical enhancement of iron ions in enamel growth are unclear. Here, we synthesized enamel-like fluorapatite nanorod arrays in vitro using a mineralization technique at room-temperature. To investigate the regulatory effect of iron ions on the fluorapatite nanorod arrays (FAP-Fe), the phosphate solution is slowly transfused dropwise in the calcium ion solution, and different concentrations of iron ions are added to the calcium ion solution in advance. We demonstrated that fluorapatite nanorod arrays (FAP) can be epitaxially grown from amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles and iron ions can improve the microstructure of FAP nanorod arrays and obtain the same enamel bundle structure as the natural enamel. Moreover, high concentration of iron ions can inhibit the crystallization of fluorapatite. The FAP-Fe nanorod arrays controlled by 0.02 mM Fe3+ have good mechanical properties. Their hardness is 1.34 ± 0.02 GPa and Young's modulus is 65.3 ± 0.4 GPa, respectively. This work is helpful to understand the role of trace elements in natural enamel in the regulation of enamel formation and to provide a theoretical foundation for the preparation of high strength artificial composites, which can play a greater role in the fields of biological alternative materials, anti-oil coating, oil/water separation, anti-bioadhesion and so on.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the long-term effect of combined surgery for the treatment of congenital tibial pseudarthrosis in children. Methods: The clinical data of 44 children with congenital tibial pseudarthrosis who underwent combined surgery (tibial pseudarthrosis tissue resection, intramedullary rod fixation, Ilizarov external fixator fixation, wrapped autologous iliac bone graft) from August 2007 to October 2011 at the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Hunan Children's Hospital were collected retrospectively. There were 33 males and 11 females. The age at the time of surgery was (3.7±2.2)years (range:0.6 to 12.4 years), including 25 cases under 3 years old and 19 cases above 3 years old.Among them, 37 cases were complicated with neurofibromatosis type 1.The operation status, postoperative complications and follow-up results were recorded. Results: The follow-up time after surgery was (10.9±0.7)years (range:10 to 11 years).Thirty-nine out of 44 patients (88.6%) achieved initial healing of tibial pseudarthrosis, with an average healing time of (4.3±1.1)months (range:3 to 10months).In the last follow-up, 36 cases (81.8%) had unequal tibial length, 20 cases (45.4%) had refractures, 18 cases (40.9%) had ankle valgus, 9 cases (20.4%) had proximal tibial valgus, and 11 cases (25.0%) had high arched feet.Nine cases (20.4%) developed distal tibial epiphyseal plate bridging.17 cases (38.6%) had abnormal tibial mechanical axis.Seven cases (15.9%) developed needle infection, and one case (2.3%) developed tibial osteomyelitis. 21 patients (47.7%) had excessive growth of the affected femur.Five patients (11.3%) had ankle stiffness, and 34 patients (77.2%) had intramedullary rod displacement that was not in the center of the tibial medullary cavity.Among them, 8 cases (18.1%) protruded the tibial bone cortex and underwent intramedullary rod removal.18 children have reached skeletal maturity, while 26 children have not been followed up until skeletal maturity. Conclusion: Combined surgery for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia in children has a high initial healing rate, but complications such as unequal tibia length, refracture, and ankle valgus occur during long-term follow-up, requiring multiple surgical treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The search for prognostic biomarkers indicating sensitivity to immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma patients has zeroed in on genes in the switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) pathway. The mutational profiles of key genes are not clearly defined, however, and no comparisons have been conducted on whether mutations in the genes involved provide the same predictive value. METHODS In this study, analysis of clinical factors, tumor mutation burden (TMB), chromosomal instability, and co-alterations was conducted for 4344 lung adenocarcinoma samples. Independent online cohorts (N = 1661 and 576) were used to supplement the analysis with survival and RNA-seq data. RESULTS Mutational burden and chromosomal instability analysis showed that ARID family mutations (including ARID1A, ARID1B, or ARID2 mutations) and SMARC family mutations (including SMARCA4 or SMARCB1 mutations) display different profiles from wild-type (WT) samples (TMB: ARID versus WT: P < 2.2 × 10-16, SMARC versus WT: P < 2.2 × 10-16; CIN: ARID versus WT: P = 1.8 × 10-5, SMARC versus WT: P = 0.027). Both mutant groups have a higher proportion of transversions than transitions, whereas the ratio is more equal for wild-type samples. Survival analysis shows that patients with ARID mutations were more sensitive to immunotherapy treatment than wild-type and SMARC-mutated patients (P < 0.001 and P = 0.013, respectively), and multivariate Cox analysis reveals that the presence of ARID mutations is likely the main cause. CONCLUSIONS The research presented in this study shows that mutations in the ARID gene family, including ARID1A, ARID1B, and ARID2, are primarily responsible for the sensitive response to immunotherapy treatment in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a critical role in a variety of cellular activities, and its structures and functions have been extensively studied. However, little is known about cell differentiation-related microtubule remodeling, its regulatory mechanisms, and its physiological functions. Recent studies have shown that microtubule-binding proteins as well as cell junctions, such as desmosomes and adherens junctions, are involved in the remodeling of microtubules in response to cell differentiation. In addition, the microtubule-organizing activity and structural integrity of centrosomes undergo dramatic changes during cell differentiation to promote microtubule remodeling. Here we summarize recent advances revealing the dynamic changes in microtubule organization and functions during cell differentiation. We also highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying microtubule modeling in differentiated cells, focusing on the key roles played by microtubule-binding proteins, cell junctions, and centrosomes.

Abstract
Gasdermin family proteins are important effector proteins mediating pyroptosis and play an important role in innate immune response. GSDME can be cleaved by inflammatory Caspases at specific sites, releasing an active form of N-terminal fragment that binds to the plasma membrane to form pores and release cellular contents. Here, two GSDME genes, CcGSDME-like (CcGSDME-L) and CcGSDMEa, were cloned from common carp. The sequence similarity of the two genes were very high and more similar to DrGSDMEa of zebrafish in evolution. The expression levels of CcGSDME-L and CcGSDMEa can respond to the stimulation of Edwardsiella tarda. The results of cytotoxicity assay showed that CcGSDMEs were cleaved by the activation of canonical CcNLRP1 inflammasome, leading to obvious pyroptosis characteristics and increased cytotoxicity. In EPC cells, three CcCaspases responded to intracellular LPS stimulation and induced significantly cytotoxicity. In order to clarify the molecular mechanism of CcGSDME-induced pyroptosis, the N-terminal of CcGSDME-L (CcGSDME-L-NT) was expressed in 293T cells, which showed strong cytotoxicity and obvious pyroptosis characteristics. Fluorescence localization assay showed that the CcGSDME-L-NT was expressed on cell membrane, and CcGSDMEa-NT was located on the cell membrane or some organelle membranes. These findings can enrich the knowledge of CcNLRP1 inflammasome and GSDMEs mediated pyroptosis in common carp, and provide basic data for the prevention and treatment of fish infectious diseases.

Abstract
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein that plays critical roles in innate immunity and pathogenesis of various diseases. To date, teleost STING against viral stimulation has been identified, whereas STING signaling events in fish against bacteria are not well understood. In the present study, the open reading frame (ORF) of STING from Asian swamp eel (Monopterus albus) was cloned (named MaSTING) and its roles in bacterial infection were investigated. Amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis revealed that MaSTING had conserved structures with mammalian STING and shared the closest relationship with mandarin fish STING. Subcellular localization analysis showed that MaSTING distributed in the whole cytoplasm and mainly co-localized with ER. Expression pattern analysis found that MaSTING was constitutively expressed in all the examined tissues with the highest expression in the liver and spleen. Post stimulation with bacteria and various PAMPs, the expression of MaSTING was induced at indicated time points in the immune-related organs and isolated peripheral blood leucocytes. Furthermore, the mechanism underlying MaSTING against bacterial infection was further studied. The qPCR analysis showed that MaSTING overexpression promoted 2'3'-cGAMP induced the expression of IFN-1, ISG15, Viperin, Mx, IL-1β and TNF-α. Western blotting assay suggested that MaSTING significantly enhanced the phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and p65. MaSTING also significantly increased the luciferase activity of IFN-1 and NF-κB promoters. Taken together, MaSTING is involved in host defense against bacterial infection by inducing the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Subepithelial connective tissue or free gingival grafts are often used in traditional mucogingival surgery to treat gingival recession and keratinized gingival insufficiency. However, due to the disadvantages of autologous soft tissue grafts, such as the preparation of the second surgical site, the limited amount of tissue in the donor site, and postoperative discomfort for patients, the research on autologous soft tissue substitute materials has attracted extensive attention. A variety of donor-substitute materials from different sources are currently used in membranous gingival surgeries, including platelet-rich fibrin, acellular dermal matrix, xenogeneic collagen matrix, etc. This paper reviews the research progress and application of several different types of substitute materials in soft tissue augmentation for natural teeth, providing a reference for the application of autologous soft tissue substitutes in clinical gingival augmentation surgery.

Abstract
Antibody (Ab) responses against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) proteins mismatched between donor and recipient are leading cause of allograft loss in kidney transplantation. However, therapies targeting alloreactive B cell and Ab-secreting cell (ASC) are lacking, motivating the need to understand how to prevent and abrogate these alloresponses. Using molecular, structural, and proteomic techniques, we profiled the B cell response in a kidney transplant recipient with antibody-mediated rejection and graft loss. We found that this response spanned the rejected organ and peripheral blood, stimulated the differentiation of multiple B cell subsets, and produced a high-affinity, donor-specific, anti-HLA response. We found epitopic immunodominance that relied on highly exposed, solvent-accessible mismatched HLA residues as well as structural and biomolecular evidence of autoreactivity against the recipient's self-HLA allele. These alloreactive and autoreactive signatures converged in the recipient's circulating donor-specific Ab repertoire, suggesting that rejection requires both the recognition of non-self and breaches of tolerance to lead to alloinjury and graft loss.

Abstract
GW117 is new melatonergic antidepressant being developed to show better antidepressant action than agomelatine. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the toxicity and to determine potential target organs after oral (gavage) administration of the test article GW117 for 28 days and to assess the reversibility after a 4-week recovery phase in beagle dogs. Toxicokinetics was also evaluated. Four groups were designed in this study, including the vehicle control group and the GW117 50, 150 and 500 mg/kg/day groups, with 5 dogs/sex/group. Body weight, hematology, clinical chemistry, gross necropsy, organ weight, histopathology, and other indicators were examined. Results showed that animals dosed at ≥150 mg/kg/day showed gastrointestinal reactions (watery feces and dark green/red brown feces), with a dose-response relationship in the incidence and severity grade. Female dogs at 500 mg/kg/day had an increase in organ weight and ratios of the liver at the end of the dosing phase. Histopathology examination showed that some animals at 500 mg/kg/day, especially female animals, had minimal centrilobular hepatocyte hypertrophy in the liver, which reversed after 28-day recovery. With the exception of the above, no GW117-related abnormality was noted. Meanwhile, there were no sexual differences in drug exposure and accumulation after the first and last dosing. The no observed adverse effect dose level (NOAEL) was 150 mg/kg/day, under which mean Cmax and AUC0 → t were 583.5 and 2767.0 ng/ml*h for females and 663.2 and 4046.3 ng/ml*h for males on Day 28.

Abstract
Tripartite motifs (TRIM) is a large family of E3 ubiquitin ligases that play an important role in ubiquitylation. TRIM proteins regulate a wide range of biological processes from cellular response to viral infection and are implicated in various pathologies, from Mendelian disease to cancer. Although the TRIM family has been identified and characterized in tetrapods, but the knowledge about common carp and other teleost species is limited. The genes and proteins in the TRIM family of common carp were analyzed for evolutionary relationships, characterization, and functional annotation. Phylogenetic analysis was used to elucidate the evolutionary relationship of TRIM protein among teleost and higher vertebrate species. The results show that the TRIM orthologs of highly distant vertebrates have conserved sequences and domain architectures. The pairwise distance was calculated among teleost species of TRIMs, and the result exhibits very few mismatches at aligned position thus, indicating that the members are not distant from each other. Furthermore, TRIM family of common carp clustered into six groups on the basis of phylogenetic analysis. Additionally, the analysis revealed conserved motifs and functional domains in the subfamily members. The difference in functional domains and motifs is attributed to the evolution of these groups from different ancestors, thus validating the accuracy of clusters in the phylogenetic tree. However, the intron-exon organization is not precisely similar, which suggests duplication of genes and complex alternative splicing. The percentage of secondary structural elements is comparable for members of the same group, but the tertiary conformation is varied and dominated by coiled-coil segments required for catalytic activity. Gene ontology analysis revealed that these proteins are mainly associated with the catalytic activity of ubiquitination, immune system, zinc ion binding, positive regulation of transcription, ligase activity, and cell cycle regulation. Moreover, the biological pathway analyses identified four KEGG and 22 Reactome pathways. The predicted pathways correspond to functional domains, and gene ontology which proposes that proteins with similar structures might perform the same functions.

Abstract
Following concerted efforts for over 7 decades, great achievements have been gained in the national schistosomiasis control program of China. Currently, China is moving towards the stage of schistosomiasis elimination, when the major task is to make full use of available resources to improve schistosomiasis surveillance and response to sustainably consolidate gained schistosomiasis control achievements and prevent re-emerging schistosomiasis. There is therefore an urgent need for optimization of interventions for schistosomiasis elimination. Based on analysis of socioeconomic features at different stages of the national schistosomiasis control program in China, this review discusses the relationship between the needs of assessment of schistosomiasis elimination interventions and the optimized strategy of schistosomiasis elimination at different stages of the national schistosomiasis control program using a marginal benefit approach and proposes the optimized schistosomiasis elimination strategy that allows the highest marginal benefit with currently available schistosomiasis elimination costs, so as to provide the optimal strategic pathway to schistosomiasis elimination and facilitate the achievement of the targets set in Healthy China 2030.

Abstract
The emergence of recombinant porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has caused a substantial threat to the swine industry in recent years. However, the protective efficacy of different sublineage 8.7 PRRSV modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines against emerging strains were still obscure. In this study, a broad epidemiological investigation of PRRSV showed the prevalence of NADC30-like strain increased in Shandong Province, China from 2018 to 2020. Through piglet trial for vaccination and challenge with recombinant NADC30-like SDlz1601 strain, CH-1R MLV vaccine showed better protective effect than JXA1-R and TJM-F92 MLV vaccines in terms of clinical score and pathological observation. Moreover, all three MLV vaccines could reduce virus loads in the serum of piglets. This study provides valuable insights into the prevalence of the NADC30-like strain and the protective effect of PRRS MLV vaccines against recombinant NADC30-like strains, which could help to improve the prevention and control of PRRSV infections.

Abstract
We studied the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) inhibitor BGJ-398 on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM MSC) into osteoblasts in wild type (wt) mice and in animals with mutation in TBXT gene (mt) and possible differences in the pluripotency of these cells. Cytology tests showed that the cultured BM MSC could differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes. The effect of different BGJ-398 concentrations on the expression of FGFR3, RUNX2, SMAD1, SMAD4, SMAD5, SMAD6, SMAD7, and SMAD8 were studied by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. The expression of RUNX2 protein was evaluated by Western blotting. BM MSC of mt and wt mice did not differ in pluripotency and expressed the same membrane marker antigens. BGJ-398 inhibitor reduced the expression of FGFR3 and RUNX2. In BM MSC from mt and wt mice have similar gene expression (and its changing) in FGFR3, RUNX2, SMAD1, SMAD4, SMAD5, SMAD6, SMAD7, and SMAD8 genes. Thus, our experiments confirmed the effect of decreased expression of FGFR3 on osteogenic differentiation of BM MSC from wt and mt mice. However, BM MSC from mt and wt mice did not differ in pluripotency and are an adequate model for laboratory research.

Abstract
PGRP is a family of pattern recognition molecules of the innate immune system. PGRPs are conserved from insects to mammals and have diverse functions in antimicrobial defense. Here we cloned a common carp PGRP ortholog, CcPGRP2 containing a conserved C-terminal PGRP domain. We tested the expression levels of CcPGRP2 in the liver, spleen, kidney, foregut, midgut, and hindgut of the highest level in the liver. The expression of CcPGRP2 upregulated in common carp infected with Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) or Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Recombinant CcPGRP2 protein expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) system and the purified CcPGRP2 could maintain the integrity of intestinal mucosa of common carp infected with A. hydrophila. In addition, CcPGRP2 could agglutinate or bind both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in a Zn2+-dependent manner. CcPGRP2 has a stronger agglutination and bacterial binding ability in gram-positive bacteria than in gram-negative bacteria. It is perhaps because CcPGRP2 could bind peptidoglycan (PGN) with a higher degree to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). And CcPGRP2 shows antimicrobial activities in the presence of Zn2+. Our results of CcPGRP2 provided new insight into the function of PGRP in the innate immunity of the common carp.

Abstract
1. Ammonia is one of major air pollutants in intensive poultry houses, where it causes immunosuppression in broilers. Although previous studies have focused on a particular organ, data on multiple organs have not been reported.2. In the following work, broilers were exposed to environmental ammonia (0, 10, 20, and 40 mg/m3 from 1-21 d old; and 0, 15, 30, and 60 mg/m3 from 22-42 d old).3. Ammonia exposure reduced bird spleen index at 42 d and thymus index at 14, 28, 35 and 42 d, meaning that ammonia caused immunosuppression in birds. Moreover, high ammonia exposure down-regulated the expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in lung tissue at 21 d, as well as TLR4 in lung and tracheal mucosa at 42 d when analysed using qRT-PCR. It increased SIgA in saliva at 42 d when analysed by ELISA. Ammonia increased interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, interferon-α (IFN-α), and IFN-γ in serum at 28 d from the ELISA assay, which indicated that all of these factors took part in ammonia-immunosuppression in birds.4. Three antioxidants (CAT, SOD, T-AOC) decreased, and one oxidant MDA increased after ammonia exposure in the liver and blood, which indicated that ammonia caused oxidative stress via the imbalance of antioxidants/oxidants in birds.5. Correlation analysis showed that TLR4 and TLR15 in the tracheal mucosa were significantly positively related to IFN-γ and negatively related to IL-6. TLR2 in the lung was significantly positively related to IL-1β, and TLR2 in bird tracheal mucosa was negatively related to IL-6 in serum.6. The results suggested that oxidative stress mediated immunosuppression caused by ammonia gas via antioxidant/oxidant imbalance in broilers.

Abstract
PURPOSE The declining physical condition of the older adults is a pressing issue. Wu Qin Xi exercise, despite being low-intensity, is highly effective among older adults. Inspired by its characteristics, we designed a new exercise program for frail older adults, combining strength, endurance, and Wu Qin Xi. Furthermore, we employed machine learning to predict whether frailty can be reversed in older adults after the intervention. METHODS A total of 181 community-dwelling frail older adults aged 65 years or older participated in this single-center, randomized controlled study, with 54.7% (n=99) being female. The study assessed the effectiveness of several exercise modalities in reversing frailty. The Fried's frailty criterion was used to assess the degree of frailty of the subjects. Participants were assigned a three-digit code 001-163 and randomly assigned (1:1:1) by computer to three different groups based on the study participant number: the Wu Qin Xi group (WQX), the strength exercise mixed with endurance exercise training group (SE), and the WQXSE hybrid exercise group incorporated the above two. Body composition and frailty-related physical fitness factors were measured before and after a 24-week intervention. The measurements included Body height, Body mass, Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), grip strength assessment (GS), 6min walk test (6 min WT), and 10 m maximum walk speed (10 m MWS). Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA to determine group and time interaction effects and machine learning models were used to predict program effectiveness. RESULTS A total of 163 participants completed the study, with 53.9% (n=88) of them being female. The two items, 10 m maximum walking speed (10 m MWS) and grip strength, were significantly affected by the interaction of group and time. Compared to the other two groups, the WQXSE group showed the most improvement in the item 10 m MWS. In addition, following 24 weeks of training, 68 (41.7%) of the initially frail older adults had reversed their frailty status. Among them, 19 (36.5%) were in the WQX group, 24 (44.4%) were in the WQXSE group, and 25 (43.9%) were in the SE group. The stacking model exhibited superior performance when compared to other algorithms. CONCLUSION A hybrid exercise regimen comprising the Wu Qin Xi routine and exercises focused on both strength and endurance holds the potential to yield greater improvements in the physical fitness of older adults, as well as reducing frailty. Leveraging a stacking model, it is possible to forecast the likelihood of older adults successfully reversing their frailty status following participation in a prevention exercise program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interferon (IFN) regulatory factors (IRFs) is a kind of transcription factors, which play an important role in regulating the expression of type I IFN and related genes. In mammals, IRF6 is not relevant with IFN expression, while zebrafish IRF6 was reported to be a positive regulator of IFN expression and could be phosphorylated by both MyD88 and TBK1. However, the role of IRF6 in the immune response and IFN transcription of common carp is unknown. RESULTS In the present study, the cDNA of IRF6 gene (CcIRF6) was cloned from common carp using RACE technique, with a total length of 1905 bp, encoding 471 amino acid residues, which possesses two functional domains of DBD and IAD. Similarity analysis showed that CcIRF6 had more than 50% similarity with IRFs of other vertebrates, and had the highest similarity with grass carp and zebrafish, among which the DBD domain was much more conserved. The phylogenetic analysis showed that CcIRF6 is in the branch of Osteichthyes and has the closest relationship with grass carp. In healthy common carp, the CcIRF6 was expressed in all the examined tissues, with the highest level in the oral epithelium, and the lowest level in the head kidney. After intraperitoneal injection of poly(I:C) or Aeromonas hydrophila, the expression of CcIRF6 increased in spleen, head kidney, foregut and hindgut of common carp. Moreover, poly(I:C), LPS, PGN and flagellin induced the expression of CcIRF6 in peripheral leukocytes and head kidney leukocytes of common carp in vitro. In EPC cells, CcIRF6 inhibited the expression of some IFN-related genes and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and dual luciferase reporter assay showed that CcIRF6 reduced the activity of IFN and NF-κB reporter genes. CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that CcIRF6 is involved in the antiviral and antibacterial immune response of common carp, and negatively regulate the expression of IFN and NF-κB signalling pathways, which provides a theoretical basis for the study and prevention of fish disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Inflammatory Caspases are key effectors of the inflammasomes and play an important role in innate immune response. However, there are few studies on the homologs of inflammatory Caspases in bony fish. In the present study, three inflammatory Caspase genes were cloned from common carp and named CcCaspase-A1, CcCaspase-A2 and CcCaspase-B. Nucleotide sequences alignment revealed that the three Caspases were very similar in structure, which contained a PYD domain in the N-terminal, and a CASc domain in the C-terminal. In the phylogenetic tree, CcCaspase-A1 and CcCaspase-A2 were close to the Caspase-A of grass carp, and CcCaspase-B was close to the DrCaspase-B of zebrafish. In healthy common carp, the expression levels of CcCaspase-A1 and CcCaspase-A2 were the highest in the gills, and CcCaspase-B was the highest in the spleen. After immune stimulation with Edwardsiella tarda or Aeromonas hydrophila, the expression levels of all CcCaspases increased significantly. The fluorescence localization assays showed that all these CcCaspases were expressed in the cytoplasm, and were involved in the assembly of CcNLRP1 inflammasome. These results suggest that the inflammatory CcCaspases play a key role in immune response of common carp against bacterial infection, which may enrich the knowledge of inflammasome in fish, and provide basic data for the prevention and treatment of fish infectious diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility and accuracy of 0-1 h high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) concentration and its changes in judging non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and to investigate the feasibility of a simplified process. Methods: Patients with acute chest pain and suspected NSTEMI who were admitted to the emergency department of Fuwai Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and Nanjing First Hospital from January 2017 to September 2020 were selected. Hs-cTnI test was carried out for the selected patients at the time of visit (0 h) and 1 h after visit. According to the 0-1 h hs-cTnI diagnostic process and threshold standard recommended by European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines in 2015, the laboratory adjudication was determined. Cardiologists who did not participate in the project design and did not know the results of hs-cTnI test performed the clinical judgment according to the routine diagnosis and treatment process of emergency department. Taking clinical judgment as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of 0-1 h hs-cTnI concentration and its change recommended by the guidelines for judging NSTEMI in Chinese population was analyzed. The guide process was simplified. Under the condition of not considering the time of chest pain, the guideline threshold was used for test and judgement, and the diagnostic efficacy of the simplified process was evaluated. Results: A total of 1 534 patients were enrolled in the study, aged (62±12) years and 952 (62.1%) patients were male. Among them, 402 patients (26.2%) were clinically diagnosed as NSTEMI and 1 132 patients (73.8%) were diagnosed as non-NSTEMI. According to the diagnosis and determination process recommended by the guidelines, NSTEMI was excluded in 672 patients (42.8%), and 464 patients (30.2%) were diagnosed as NSTEMI. The consistency rate with clinical determination reached 92.4% (1 050/1 136), the sensitivity of excluding diagnosis was 99.5% (95%CI: 98.0%-99.9%), the negative predictive value was 99.7% (95%CI: 98.8%-99.9%), and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.008 (95%CI: 0.002-0.335). The diagnostic specificity was 92.6% (95%CI: 90.9%-94.0%), the positive predictive value was 81.9% (95%CI: 78.0%-85.2%), and the positive likelihood ratio was 12.739 (95%CI: 10.356-15.670). According to the simplified process, NSTEMI was excluded in 675 patients (44.0%), and 463 patients (30.2%) were diagnosed as NSTEMI. The consistency rate with clinical judgment was 92.4% (1 051/1 138), the sensitivity of exclusion diagnosis was 99.3% (95%CI: 97.6%-99.8%), the negative predictive value was 99.6% (95%CI: 98.6%-99.9%), and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.012 (95%CI: 0.004-0.389). The diagnostic specificity was 92.6% (95%CI: 90.9%-94.0%), the positive predictive value was 81.9% (95%CI: 78.0%-85.2%), and the positive likelihood ratio was 12.705 (95%CI: 10.328-15.630). There was no significant difference in diagnostic efficacy between the simplified process and the recommended process (all P>0.05). Conclusion: The diagnostic process for judging NSTEMI according to the 0-1 h hs-cTnI concentration and its change criteria recommended by the 2015 ESC guidelines is applicable in the Chinese population and remains highly accurate in judging NSTEMI without considering the duration of chest pain at the time of presentation.

Abstract
The common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) is an important farmed species worldwide. Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues play an essential role in the fight against pathogen infection. Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) poses a serious threat to the common carp aquaculture industry. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving mucosal immune responses to SVCV infection is critical. In this study, the mucosal tissues (gills, foregut and hindgut) were collected from normal and infected fishes for transcriptome analysis. A total of 932,378,600 clean reads were obtained, of which approximately 80% were successfully mapped to the common carp genome. 577, 1,054 and 1,014 differential expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the gills, foregut and hindgut, respectively. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay indicated that the DEGs expression in the foregut following SVCV infection was consistent with the transcriptome results. Among them, two key genes of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor family, melanoma-differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) and laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2) (i.e., CcMDA5 and CcLGP2), underwent further analysis. Overexpression of CcMDA5 or CcLGP2 increased phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 and interferon regulatory factor 3 and the expression of interferon-1 (ifn-1), myxovirus resistance (mx), viperin and interferon-stimulated gene 15 (isg15), and inhibited SVCV replication in epithelioma papulosum cyprini cells. Furthermore, CcLGP2 significantly upregulated the CcMDA5-induced ifn-1 mRNA expression and the activation of the ifn-1 promoter. Finally, confocal microscopy and coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed that CcLGP2 colocalizes and interacts with CcMDA5 via the C-terminal regulatory domain. This study provides essential gene resources for understanding the fish immune response to SVCV infection and sheds light on the potential role of fish LGP2 in the MDA5 regulation.

Abstract
Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a highly conserved multifunctional protein localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is secreted through exosomes and its degradation is associated with the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27), and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Its structure contains three α-helices and eleven β-strands, and features a helical hairpin as its hallmark. TCTP shows a remarkable similarity to the methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B (MsrB) and mammalian suppressor of Sec4 (Mss4/Dss4) protein families, which exerts guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity on small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) proteins, suggesting that some functions of TCTP may at least depend on its GEF action. Indeed, TCTP exerts GEF activity on Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb) to boost the growth and proliferation of Drosophila cells. TCTP also enhances the expression of cell division control protein 42 homolog (Cdc42) to promote cancer cell invasion and migration. Moreover, TCTP regulates cytoskeleton organization by interacting with actin microfilament (MF) and microtubule (MT) proteins and inducing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. In essence, TCTP promotes cancer cell movement. It is usually highly expressed in cancerous tissues and thus reduces patient survival; meanwhile, drugs can target TCTP to reduce this effect. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms of TCTP in promoting cancer invasion and migration, and describe the current inhibitory strategy to target TCTP in cancerous diseases.

Abstract
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) is one of the most widely cultivated fish in China. Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) is a highly pathogenic virus and has often caused excessive losses in carp pond fisheries. Innate immune play important roles against virus infection. To better understand the immune response of common carp against SVCV infection, transcriptome analysis was performed using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform. It was showed that a total of 3953 differentially expressed unigenes were identified, and the RLR signaling pathway were significantly enriched after SVCV infection. Subsequently, the role of RLR signaling pathway in SVCV infection was studied. The results showed that common carp RIG-I (CcRIG-I) and TRIM25 (CcTRIM25) significantly decreased the replication of SVCV by inducing the phosphorylation of TBK1, IRF3 and p65 and the expression of ifn-1, viperin, isg15 and mx. Further studies illustrated that CcTRIM25 could positive regulate CcRIG-I mediated downstream signaling pathway. Finally, the mechanism of CcTRIM25 promoting CcRIG-I-mediated signaling was investigated. CcTRIM25 could interact with the caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD) of CcRIG-I and promoted K63-linked polyubiquitination of CcRIG-I. Altogether, the study revealed a mechanism of CcTRIM25 regulating CcRIG-I mediated immune response in SVCV infection.

Abstract
Mannose receptor (MR), as a member of the C-type lectin (CLEC) family, plays an important role in the internalize pathogen-associated ligands and activate immune response. In the present study, MR was identified and characterized from Asian swamp eel (Monopterus albus) (namely MaMR). The open reading frame of MaMR was 4311 bp in length encoding 1437 amino acids of a ∼162.308 kDa protein, including a cysteine-rich (CR) domain, a fibronectin type II (FNII) domain, eight C-type lectin-like domains (CTLDs), a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic domain. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that MaMR shared the highest similarity with that of Paralichthys olivaceus. The expression of MaMR was found in all the examined tissues, with the highest expression in the spleen and kidney. After injection with Edwardsiella tarda, the transcript level of MaMR was initially reduced and then significantly elevated in the liver, spleen, foregut and hindgut. In the isolated peripheral blood leukocytes, the expression of MaMR was significantly induced post stimulated with LPS and LTA. Then the MaMR-CTLD4-8 recombinant protein was purified. Bacterial agglutination and binding assay showed that rMaMR-CTLD4-8 could bind with both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and agglutinate bacteria in the presence of calcium in vitro. Further analysis revealed that MaMR and TLR2 coordinately induced the expression of TRAF6 and promoted the phosphorylation level of p65, leading to the expression of proinflammatory cytokines il-1β and tnf-α in EPC cells. Taken together, these results reveal that MaMR plays an important role in the immune response of fish to pathogen infections.

Abstract
DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6 × 6 × 6 m 3 liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light. The scintillation light signal in these detectors can provide the trigger for non-beam events. In addition, it adds precise timing capabilities and improves the calorimetry measurements. In ProtoDUNE-DP, scintillation and electroluminescence light produced by cosmic muons in the LArTPC is collected by photomultiplier tubes placed up to 7 m away from the ionizing track. In this paper, the ProtoDUNE-DP photon detection system performance is evaluated with a particular focus on the different wavelength shifters, such as PEN and TPB, and the use of Xe-doped LAr, considering its future use in giant LArTPCs. The scintillation light production and propagation processes are analyzed and a comparison of simulation to data is performed, improving understanding of the liquid argon properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the pharmacist's knowledge about rational use of antimicrobials in Shanxi of China, so as to find out the problems and provide support for the management of antimicrobials. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted, which included the basic information of the respondents, the basic knowledge about antimicrobial management and the related knowledge about antimicrobial drugs. SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 462 pharmacists were investigated. The average score of the knowledge related to rational use of antimicrobials was 10.49 ± 4.05. It showed that the hospital type, grade, pharmacist's education, professional title and years of experience had effect on the pharmacist's knowledge level about antimicrobial drugs (P < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that hospital grade and pharmacist's education were the main influencing factors (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Pharmacists have insufficient knowledge about the rational use of antibacterial drugs. It is essential to strengthen the training in management regulations and application of antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the acute and long-term outcome of catheter ablation for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy (ALVC). Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study enrolled ALVC patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of VT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2011 to December 2018 and collected their clinical characteristics and intraoperative electrophysiological examination. Patients were followed up every 6 months after radiofrequency ablation until August 2021. Echocardiographic results and VT recurrence post radiofrequency ablation were analysed. Results: Totally 12 patients were enrolled (mean age: (42±15) years, 11 males(11/12)). The mean of left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDd) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were (51±5)mm and (65±5)%, respectively. Twelve VTs were induced in 10 patients during the electrophysiological study, and the mean tachycardia cycle length was (293±65) ms. Three-dimensional substrate mapping revealed the diseased area at endocardial site in one patient, at epicardial sites in the other 11 patients (involved endocardial sites in 2 cases) with the basal part near the mitral annulus being the predilection for the substrate (10/11). After the catheter ablation at the endocardial and epicardial sites respectively, the complete procedure endpoint was achieved in all patients (VT cannot be induced post ablation). The median follow-up time was 65 (25, 123) months. One patient was lost to follow-up, and the other 11 patients survived without VT. No significant cardiac function deterioration was detected by the echocardiographic examination ((51±5)mm vs. (52±5)mm, P>0.05 for LVDd, (65±5)% vs. (60±6)%, P>0.05 for LVEF) at the end of follow-up. Conclusion: After radiofrequency ablation, the complete procedure endpoint is achieved in ALVC patients, and the catheter ablation provides long-term ventricular tachycardia control during the long-term follow-up.
