Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD), also known as programmed cell death (PCD), plays a critical role in various biological processes, such as tissue injury/repair, development, and homeostasis. Dysregulation of RCD pathways can lead to the development of many human diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Maintaining proper metal ion homeostasis is critical for human health. However, imbalances in metal levels within cells can result in cytotoxicity and cell death, leading to a variety of diseases and health problems. In recent years, new types of metal overload-induced cell death have been identified, including ferroptosis, cuproptosis, and calcicoptosis. This has prompted us to examine the three defined metal-dependent cell death types, and discuss other metals-induced ferroptosis, cuproptosis, and disrupted Ca2+ homeostasis, as well as the roles of Zn2+ in metals' homeostasis and related RCD. We have reviewed the connection between metals-induced RCD and various diseases, as well as the underlying mechanisms. We believe that further research in this area will lead to the discovery of novel types of metal-dependent RCD, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, and the development of new therapeutic strategies for human diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Restless legs syndrome (RLS) stands as a prevalent neurological complication within maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. However, the alterations in cerebral blood flow (CBF) among MHD-RLS patients remain uncharted. Through the utilization of the arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique, we evaluated the fluctuations in CBF within distinct brain regions and analyzed the risk factors for the development of RLS in MHD patients in the context of the clinic. METHODS Thirty-one MHD patients with concomitant RLS (MHD-RLS group) and thirty-one non-RLS patients matched based on age, gender, as well as cognitive function (MHD-nRLS group) were included. Through image preprocessing and data analysis, the changes in CBF values in distinct brain regions were obtained, and the CBF values of brain regions with substantial differences between the two groups were correlated with the RLS scores. Furthermore, the differences in baseline data were compared, and through the utilization of multifactorial logistic regression, the independent risk factors for the development of RLS were examined. RESULTS Compared with the MHD-nRLS group, the MHD-RLS group had increased CBF in the right superior temporal gyrus, reduced CBF in the right hippocampus, left middle frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus of right triangle, middle frontal gyrus of left orbit, left precentral gyrus, and left precuneus. Only left precentral gyrus CBF were negatively correlated with RLS scores after correction for dialysis duration(r = -0.436, P = 0.016). Accordingly, multifactorial regression analysis by stepwise method yielded that the left precentral gyrus CBF values(OR: 0.968, 95%CI: 0.944-0.993, P = 0.012) remained an independent risk factor for RLS in MHD patients. In addition, the results showed that hemodialysis duration (OR: 1.055, 95%CI: 1.014-1.098, P = 0.008) and serum iron levels (OR: 0.685, 95%CI: 0.551-0.852, P = 0.001) were also risk factors for the development of RLS. CONCLUSION Patients afflicted with MHD-RLS exhibit alterations in CBF across several brain regions. Notably, the left precentral gyrus might serve as a pivotal region influencing the onset of RLS among MHD patients. Furthermore, extended hemodialysis duration and a relative insufficiency in serum iron levels independently contribute as risk factors for RLS development within the MHD patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of oral and transdermal estradiol in alleviating menopausal symptoms. METHOD A total of 257 recently menopausal women were randomized into two groups. The t-E2 group received transdermal estradiol (2.5 g per day) (n = 128) and the o-E2V group received oral estradiol valerate (2 mg per day) (n = 129) for 24 weeks; both groups received micronized progesterone (200 mg per day). The primary outcome measure is the change in the modified Kupperman Menopausal Index (KMI) after 24 weeks of treatment. Menopausal symptoms were recorded at screening and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks using both the KMI and the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). RESULTS Significant amelioration was observed by KMI and MRS scores for both groups after treatment (p < 0.001). The mean KMI scores showed no difference between the two groups. The mean MRS scores were similar between the two groups at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. The results showed statistical differences after 12 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment (p = 0.005 and p = 0.011). Both the after-treatment scores minus the baseline scores of KMI and MRS and the incidence of adverse effects showed no difference between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that both transdermal and oral estradiol are effective in relieving menopausal symptoms, with little difference in treatment efficacy and safety. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER ChiCTR2300073146.

Abstract
MicroRNAs have been shown to potentially function in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. This study aimed to examine the expression of microRNA-320 (miR-320) in cerebral IR injury and its involvement in cerebral mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses by targeting the HMGB1/NF-kappaB axis. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion to simulate cerebral IR injury. The cerebral expression of miR-320 was assessed using qRT-PCR. Neurological function, cerebral infarct volume, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines were evaluated using relevant methods, including staining, fluorometry, and ELISA. HMGB1 expression was analyzed through Western blotting. The levels of miR-320, HMGB1, neurological deficits, and cerebral infarction were significantly higher after IR induction. Intracerebral overexpression of miR-320 resulted in substantial neurological deficits, increased infarct volume, elevated levels of 8-isoprostane, NF-kappaBp65, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and HMGB1 expression. It also promoted the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS levels while reducing MnSOD and GSH levels. Downregulation of miR-320 and inhibition of HMGB1 activity significantly reversed the outcomes of cerebral IR injury. MiR-320 plays a negative role in regulating cerebral inflammatory/oxidative reactions induced by IR injury by enhancing HMGB1 activity and modulating mitochondrial function.

Abstract
The block copolymer micelles and natural biopolymers were utilized to form layer-by-layer (LbL) films via electrostatic interaction, which were able to effectively load and controllably release favipiravir, a potential drug for the treatment of coronavirus epidemic. The LbL films demonstrated reversible swelling/shrinking behavior along with the manipulation of temperature, which could also maintain the integrity in the structure and the morphology. Due to dehydration of environmentally responsive building blocks, the drug release rate from the films was decelerated by elevating environmental temperature and ionic strength. In addition, the pulsed release of favipiravir was observed from the multilayer films under the trigger of temperature, which ensured the precise control in the content of the therapeutic reagents at a desired time point. The nanoparticle-based LbL films could be used for on-demandin vitrorelease of chemotherapeutic reagents.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy of precise radiation therapy for lymphatic drainage area prevention (ENI) and invasive field irradiation (IFI) in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radical radiotherapy. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 esophageal cancer patients admitted to our hospital from March 2018 to March 2021 who underwent radical radiotherapy. Among them, 48 patients who received precise radiation therapy to prevent radiation in the lymphatic drainage area were included in the ENI group, and 48 patients who received field irradiation were included in the IFI group. Compare and analyze the total clinical response rate, local control rate within 3 years after treatment, survival rate, and incidence of adverse reactions after radiotherapy between two groups of patients. There was no statistically significant difference in the total clinical response rate between the ENI group and the IFI group after radiotherapy (P > .05). There was no statistically significant difference in local control rate and survival rate between the ENI group and the IFI group within 3 years of treatment (P > .05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the ENI group was significantly higher than that in the IFI group, with a statistically significant difference (P < .05). When giving radical radiotherapy to esophageal cancer patients, the clinical total effective rate, survival rate, and local control rate of involving field irradiation are equivalent to the preventive radiation effect of precise radiotherapy for lymphatic drainage area. Besides, involving field irradiation can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in patients after radiotherapy, which has high clinical value.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review was performed to systematically compare the effectiveness and safety of the first dorsal metacarpal artery flaps (FDMAF) and reverse homodigital dorsal flaps (RHDF) for thumb reconstruction. METHODS All literatures, which compared FDMAF versus RHDF for thumb reconstruction, were acquired through a comprehensive search in multiple databases from inception until 31st August 2022. A meta-analysis was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 19 articles were retrieved, comprising 396 patients in the FDMAF group and 423 patients in the RHDF group. The pooled estimates suggested that there were no significant differences in venous congestion, complications about flap necrosis and reduced range of motion (ROM) of thumb, static 2-point discrimination (S-2PD) between the two groups. On the other hand, patients in the RHDF group had less vascular crisis (odds ratio [OR] = 3.15, 95%CI, 1.31-7.56), complications about poor cortical reorientation (OR = 440.02, 95%CI, 91.97-2105.27) and higher satisfaction rate (OR = 0.56, 95% CI, 0.33-0.96) than those in the FDMAF group. CONCLUSIONS The two surgical procedures were both safe and reliable since no significant differences were found in flap necrosis between the two groups. However, the patients in the RHDF group had less complications about vascular crisis, poor cortical reorientation and higher satisfaction rate. Accordingly, we thought RHDF may be more superior for thumb reconstruction than FDMAF.

Abstract
Brain functional networks derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provide a promising approach to understanding cognitive processes and predicting cognitive abilities. The topological attribute parameters of global networks are taken as the features from the overall perspective. It is constrained to comprehend the subtleties and variances of brain functional networks, which fell short of thoroughly examining the complex relationships and information transfer mechanisms among various regions. To address this issue, we proposed a framework to predict the cognitive function status in the patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) at a functional subnetwork scale (CFSFSS). The nodes from different network indicators were combined to form the functional subnetworks. The area under the curve (AUC) of the topological attribute parameters of functional subnetworks were extracted as features, which were selected by the minimal Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR). The parameter combination with improved fitness was searched by the enhanced whale optimization algorithm (E-WOA), so as to optimize the parameters of support vector regression (SVR) and solve the global optimization problem of the predictive model. Experimental results indicated that CFSFSS achieved superior predictive performance compared to other methods, by which the mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and root mean square error (RMSE) were up to 0.5951, 0.0281 and 0.9994, respectively. The functional subnetwork effectively identified the active brain regions associated with the cognitive function status, which offered more precise features. It not only helps to more accurately predict the cognitive function status, but also provides more references for clinical decision-making and intervention of cognitive impairment in ESRD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to systematically compare the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic wafer procedure (AWP) versus ulnar shortening osteotomy (USO) for ulnar impaction syndrome (UIS) treatment. METHODS All the studies included in this meta-analysis compared the efficacy of AWP to USO for UIS and were acquired through a comprehensive search across multiple databases. The meta-analysis was performed by calculating the effect sizes with the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 8 articles were included in this analysis, comprising 148 cases in the AWP group and 163 cases in the USO group. The pooled estimates indicated no significant differences in combined Darrow's Criteria or Modified Mayo Wrist Score, Modified Mayo Wrist Score, DASH scores, grip strength, VAS score, and postoperative ulnar variation. On the other hand, the patients in the AWP group exhibited fewer complications (OR = 0.17, 95%CI 0.05-0.54, P = 0.003) and a lower reoperation rate (OR = 0.12, 95%CI 0.05-0.28, P < 0.00001) than those in the USO group. CONCLUSIONS The two surgical techniques were both effective in treating UIS but the AWP group showed fewer complications and a lower reoperation rate. Therefore, AWP may present a superior alternative for UIS treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Muscle strength decline and vitamin D deficiency are coexisting conditions associated with multiple adverse health outcomes. This prospective study aimed to investigate the multiplicative and additive interactions between handgrip strength (HS) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] on all-cause mortality in Chinese community-dwelling older adults. STUDY DESIGN This is a population-based cohort study. METHODS 2635 older adults (85.15 ± 12.01 years) were recruited from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2012-2018). Low HS was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 updated consensus (<28 kg for men and <18 kg for women). Serum 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L were defined as vitamin D deficiency. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association of HS and 25(OH)D with all-cause mortality. Socio-demographics, health status, and clinical characteristics were included as covariates. RESULTS 1715 (65.09 %) and 1885 (71.54 %) participants had low HS and vitamin D deficiency, respectively. During a median follow-up of 3.52 years, 1107 older people died. After multivariable adjustment, both HS and 25(OH)D levels were inversely associated with all-cause mortality risk (Ps < 0.001). The hazard ratios (HRs) of low HS and vitamin D deficiency for all-cause mortality were 1.73 (95 % CI: 1.41-2.13) and 1.61 (95 % CI: 1.32-1.93), respectively. Although significant multiplicative interactions were not found, the association between low HS and all-cause mortality was attenuated in the higher 25(OH)D subgroup than in the lower 25(OH)D subgroup (stratified by 50 nmol/L). The multiple-adjusted HR of mortality for combined low HS and vitamin D deficiency was 2.18 (95 % CI: 1.73-2.56), which was higher than that for these two conditions alone. Significant additive interactions between low HS and vitamin D deficiency on mortality were observed (relative excess risk due to interaction: 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.37-1.05). CONCLUSIONS Low HS and low 25(OH)D levels synergistically increased the risk of all-cause mortality. Our results added new insights to the priority of early detection for older adults with comorbid muscle strength decline and vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OHD) on performance, gut health, and bone quality of broilers fed with reduced calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) diet during Eimeria spp. challenge. A total of 576 fourteen-day-old Cobb 500 male chicks were randomly distributed in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, with 6 replicates of 12 birds each. The main factors were 25-OHD level (0 or 3,000 IU/kg of feed), mineral level (0.84% of Ca/0.42% of P, the levels recommended for the grower phase (NOR) or 0.64% of Ca/0.22% of P (RED), and mid-high mixed Eimeria challenge or nonchallenge. 25-OHD improved phosphorus retention (P = 0.019), bone ash weight (P = 0.04), cortical bone trabecular connectivity (P = 0.043) during coccidiosis. For birds fed with reduced mineral levels, 25-OHD supplementation increased bone ash weight (P = 0.04). However, 25-OHD did not improve bone ash weight when birds were challenged and fed with reduced mineral levels. The dietary 3,000 IU of 25-OHD supplementation did not improve performance or gut morphology but support bone health during coccidiosis. Future investigations are needed for better understand 25-OHD role on bone microarchitecture and oxidative metabolism during coccidiosis.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to explore the resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of amygdala subregions in healthy controls (HCs) and in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) both with and without anxiety or depression. Materials and Methods A total of 33 patients with CD and with anxiety or depression (CDad group), 31 patients with CD but without anxiety or depression (CDnad group), and 29 age-, sex-, and education level-matched HCs underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging. rsFC analysis was used to analyze the FC between the amygdala subregions and other areas of the brain. Results Compared with the HC group, the CDad group demonstrated decreased rsFC between the right laterobasal subregion and the left hippocampus (P < .001) and right middle frontal gyrus (P < .001) and between the left superficial subregion and the left insula (P < .001). Compared with the HC group, the CDnad group demonstrated decreased rsFC between the left centromedial subregion and the left insula (P < .001). Compared with the CDnad group, the CDad group demonstrated decreased rsFC between the left centromedial subregion and the right precuneus (P < .001) and postcentral gyrus (P < .001), between the right laterobasal subregion and the left hippocampus (P < .001), and between the left superficial subregion and the right middle frontal gyrus (P < .001). Conclusions There are significant FC changes in the amygdala subregions in patients with CD. These changes may be related to the disease itself or to the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Abstract
Research on functional changes in the brain of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients is emerging around the world, which brings new perspectives to medical research. In this paper, the methods of canonical correlation analysis (CCA), kernel canonical correlation analysis (KCCA), and sparsity preserving canonical correlation analysis (SPCCA) were applied to the fusion of simultaneous EEG-fMRI data from 25 IBD patients and 15 healthy individuals. The CCA, KCCA and SPCCA fusion methods were used for data processing to compare the results obtained by the three methods. The results clearly show that there is a significant difference in the activation intensity between IBD and healthy control (HC), not only in the frontal lobe (p < 0.01) and temporal lobe (p < 0.01) regions, but also in the posterior cingulate gyrus (p < 0.01), gyrus rectus (p < 0.01), and amygdala (p < 0.01) regions, which are usually neglected. The mean difference in the SPCCA activation intensity was 60.1. However, the mean difference in activation intensity was only 36.9 and 49.8 by using CCA and KCCA. In addition, the correlation of the relevant components selected during the SPCCA calculation was high, with correlation components of up to 0.955; alternatively, the correlations obtained from CCA and KCCA calculations were only 0.917 and 0.926, respectively. It can be seen that SPCCA is indeed superior to CCA and KCCA in processing high-dimensional multimodal data. This work reveals the process of analyzing the brain activation state in IBD disease, provides a further perspective for the study of brain function, and opens up a new avenue for studying the SPCCA method and the change in the intensity of brain activation in IBD disease.

Abstract
The terahertz structured beams played a significant role in imaging. We utilized the transmitter with 0.1 THz to generate the quasi-Pearcey beam. The beam is produced by combining the self-designed parabola-slit modulated plate and Fourier lens, showing stripe-shaped pattern and self-focusing property. Based on that, introducing it into the testing of ptychography, we discovered there are decent effects in field reconstruction of the probe and sample with this beam by comparisons both in the simulations and the experiments. The beam has good spatial coherence through the analysis of the spatial frequency spectrums. It suggests that the beam with such features can take advantage of rapid reconstruction in full-field imaging.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the prognostic value of the composite posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early Computed tomography (CT) Score (ASPECTS)-Collaterals (pcASCO) score, which combines diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) posterior circulation ASPECTS (pcASPECTS) and the magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)-collateral circulation score at baseline among patients with acute posterior circulation ischaemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with acute posterior circulation ischaemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy were analysed retrospectively. The DWI-pcASPECTS and MRA-collateral circulation score before treatment and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days after treatment were used as the endpoints. An mRS ≤2 was defined as a good prognosis, and an mRS ≥3 was defined as a poor prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyse independent predictors of functional outcome 90 days after mechanical thrombectomy. RESULTS Mechanical thrombectomy was performed in 57 patients; 38 patients had a good prognosis, 19 patients had a poor prognosis, and 33 patients were successfully recanalised. Univariate logistic regression found that National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (OR: 1.18, p<0.001), pcASPECTS (OR: 1.91, p=0.028) and pcASCO score (OR: 0.51, p=0.001) were factors of good functional outcome. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis showed that the diagnostic efficiency of the NIHSS and pcASCO was better (AUC = 0.88, 0.83, p<0.05) than that of the pcASPECTS (AUC = 0.65). The prediction model was established by age, NIHSS, and pcASCO, and the diagnostic efficiency of the prediction model was better (AUC = 0.94). CONCLUSIONS The composite MR-pcASCO score can be used as an important predictor of the prognosis of patients with acute posterior circulation ischaemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of a sensory re-education (SR) program after free neurovascular toe pulp flap for finger or thumb pulp defect reconstruction. METHODS From January 2015 to January 2020, 49 patients with finger or thumb pulp defects treated with free fibular side flaps of the great toe or tibial side flaps of the second toe were recruited. The patients were randomly divided into two groups one month after surgery. The training group received the SR program, and the control group underwent the traditional rehabilitation program. Clinical evaluation included Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament (SWM) tests, static two-point discrimination (2-PD), and sensibility grading, measured at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS A total of 42 patients completed the follow-up, including 22 (16 males) patients in the training group and 20 patients (12 males) in the control group. Compared with 1 month after the operation, significant improvements in sensory recovery were observed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively in both groups. In addition, earlier sensory recovery was seen in the SR group compared to the control group, showing significant differences at 3 and 6 months but not at 9 and 12 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION Although SR seemed to accelerate preliminary sensory recovery after free neurovascular toe pulp flaps for digital defect reconstruction, the program should be reconsidered as it offers no significant improvement over the control group at later follow-up stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of end-stage renal disease associated with mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI) mainly relies on objective cognitive assessment, clinical observation, and neuro-psychological evaluation, while only adopting clinical tools often limits the diagnosis accuracy. METHODS We proposed a multi-modal feature selection framework with higher-order correlated topological manifold (HCTMFS) to classify ESRDaMCI patients and identify the discriminative brain regions. It constructed brain structural and functional networks with diffuse kurtosis imaging (DKI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, and extracted node efficiency and clustering coefficient from the brain networks to construct multi-modal feature matrices. The topological relationship matrices were constructed to measure the lower-order topological correlation between features. Then the consensus matrices were learned to approximate the topological relationship matrices at different confidence levels and eliminate the noise influence of individual matrices. RESULTS The higher-order topological correlation between features was explored by the Laplacian matrix of the hypergraph, which was calculated through the consensus matrix. The new framework achieved an accuracy rate of 93.56 % for classifying ESRDaMCI patients, and outperformed the existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve. CONCLUSIONS This study contributes to effectively reflect the functional neural degradation of ESRDaMCI and provide a reference for the diagnosis of ESRDaMCI by selecting discriminative brain regions.

Abstract
Physical inactivity is a global epidemic. People who take the initiative to exercise will feel pleasure during the exercise process and stick with it for a long time, while people who passively ask for exercise will feel pain and cannot stick with it. However, the neural mechanisms underlying voluntary and forced exercise remain unclear. Here, we report that voluntary running increased the frequency and amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSC) but decreased membrane excitability in D1R-MSNs, whereas D2R-MSNs did not change in mEPSC and membrane excitability. Forced running increased the frequency of mEPSC and membrane excitability in D2R-MSNs, but D1R-MSNs did not change, which may be the mechanism by which forced exercise has a non-rewarding effect. These findings provide new insights into how voluntary and forced exercise mediate reward and non-reward effects.

Abstract
Background Our previous study has suggested that blocking stanniocalcin 2 (STC2) could reduce sunitinib resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) under normoxia. The hypoxia is a particularly important environment for RCC occurrence and development, as well as sunitinib resistance. The authors proposed that STC2 also plays important roles in RCC sunitinib resistance under hypoxia conditions. Methods The ccRCC Caki-1 cells were treated within the hypoxia conditions. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting were applied to detect the STC2 expression in ccRCC Caki-1 cells. STC2-neutralizing antibodies, STC2 siRNA, and the recombinant human STC2 (rhSTC2) were used to identify targeting regulation on STC2 in modulating sunitinib resistance, proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion. In addition, autophagy flux and the lysosomal acidic environment were investigated by Western blotting and fluorescence staining, and the accumulation of sunitinib in cells was observed with the addition of STC2-neutralizing antibodies and autophagy modulators. Results Under hypoxia conditions, sunitinib disrupted the lysosomal acidic environment and accumulated in Caki-1 cells. Hypoxia-induced the STC2 mRNA and protein levels in Caki-1 cells. STC2-neutralizing antibodies and STC2 siRNA effectively aggravated sunitinib-reduced cell viability and proliferation, which were reversed by rhSTC2. In addition, sunitinib promoted EMT, migration, and invasion, which were reduced by STC2-neutralizing antibodies. Conclusion Inhibiting STC2 could reduce the sunitinib resistance of ccRCC cells under hypoxia conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The brain neuromechanism in maintenance hemodialysis patients (MHD) with cognitive impairment (CI) remains unclear. The study aimed to probe the relationship between spontaneous brain activity and CI by using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data. METHODS Here, 55 MHD patients with CI and 28 healthy controls were recruited. For baseline data, qualitative data were compared between groups using the χ2 test; quantitative data were compared between groups using the independent samples t-test, ANOVA test, Mann-Whitney U-test, or Kruskal-Wallis test. Comparisons of ALFF/fALFF/ReHo values among the three groups were calculated by using the DPABI toolbox, and then analyzing the correlation with clinical variables. p < .05 was considered a statistically significant difference. Furthermore, back propagation neural network (BPNN) was utilized to predict cognitive function. RESULTS Compared with the MHD-NCI group, the patients with MHD-CI had more severe anemia and higher urea nitrogen levels, lower mALFF values in the left postcentral gyrus, lower mfALFF values in the left inferior temporal gyrus, and greater mALFF values in the right caudate nucleus (p < .05). The above-altered indicators were correlated with MOCA scores. BPNN prediction models indicated that the diagnostic efficacy of the model which inputs were hemoglobin, urea nitrogen, and mALFF value in the left central posterior gyrus was optimal (R2 = 0.8054), validation cohort (R2 = 0.7328). CONCLUSION The rs-fMRI can reveal the neurophysiological mechanism of cognitive impairment in MHD patients. In addition, it can serve as a neuroimaging marker for diagnosing and evaluating cognitive impairment in MHD patients.

Abstract
The origin of metastatic liver tumours (arising from gastric or colorectal sources) is closely linked to treatment choices and survival prospects. However, in some instances, the primary lesion remains elusive even after an exhaustive diagnostic investigation. Consequently, we have devised and validated a radiomics nomogram for ascertaining the primary origin of liver metastases stemming from gastric cancer (GCLMs) and colorectal cancer (CCLMs). This retrospective study encompassed patients diagnosed with either GCLMs or CCLMs, comprising a total of 277 GCLM cases and 278 CCLM cases. Radiomic characteristics were derived from venous phase computed tomography (CT) scans, and a radiomics signature (RS) was computed. Multivariable regression analysis demonstrated that gender (OR = 3.457; 95% CI: 2.102-5.684; p < 0.001), haemoglobin levels (OR = 0.976; 95% CI: 0.967-0.986; p < 0.001), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels (OR = 0.500; 95% CI: 0.307-0.814; p = 0.005), and RS (OR = 2.147; 95% CI: 1.127-4.091; p = 0.020) exhibited independent associations with GCLMs as compared to CCLMs. The nomogram, combining RS with clinical variables, demonstrated strong discriminatory power in both the training (AUC = 0.71) and validation (AUC = 0.78) cohorts. The calibration curve, decision curve analysis, and clinical impact curves revealed the clinical utility of this nomogram and substantiated its enhanced diagnostic performance.

Abstract
The effects of dietary supplementation of essential oil on growth performance, carcass yield, meat quality, serum antioxidant capacity, and intestinal tight junctions of broilers with or without Eimeria challenge were investigated. A total of 576 one-day-old male broilers were randomly separated into 8 treatments (6 replication floor-pens per treatment, 12 broilers per pen) in a 4 × 2 factorial design. The 4 diets consisted of 1) a corn and soybean meal basal diet, 2) an anticoccidial diet (60 g nicarbazin and 60 g narasin per ton of feed), 3) an oregano oil diet (500 ppm oregano oil), and 4) a clove oil diet (500 ppm clove oil). On d 10, half chicks were challenged with 1 × 104 sporulated oocysts of E. tenella, E. acervulina, and E. maxima per chick, whereas the others were inoculated with an equal amount of dilution (0.5 mL). The Eimeria challenge induced a higher fecal oocyst output on d 18, a lower duodenum Occludin expression level on d 28, a lower serum catalase level, and a higher cook loss and protein loss in thigh muscle on d 42. The anticoccidial diet lowered fecal Eimeria output and increased d 1 to 42 BW gain as compared to the control diet. The clove oil treatment enhanced duodenum ZO-1 expression level in nonchallenged birds, increased BW gain from d 1 to 14 and breast yield on d 42. The oregano oil treatment enhanced ZO-1 expression of challenged birds, reduced feed intake from 15 to 28 d, and helped broilers gain more tender meat. For those Eimeria-challenged broilers, both clove and oregano oil treatments recovered drip loss in breast muscle. Our results suggested that Eimeria challenge in broiler early age could interrupt later serum antioxidant capacity and damage meat quality. The dietary supplementation of clove or oregano essential oils could improve broiler growth performance and partially relieve the coccidial damage in gut integrity and meat quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a serious pregnancy complication, and women with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus can develop chronic hyperglycemia during pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of information-based continuity of care on glucose levels, health awareness, and maternal and infant outcomes in pregnant women with GDM, thereby providing a basis for the clinical implementation of effective interventions for GDM to reduce or avoid adverse outcomes due to GDM. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and sixty cases of pregnant women with GDM who underwent treatment in the obstetrics and gynecology department of our hospital from June 2019 to September 2021 were randomly selected as the study population and divided into the control group (n=80) and the study group (n=80). Women in the control group were received with conventional nursing intervention, and those in the study group were obtained with information-based continuity of care on the basis of the control group. Basic clinical data were collected. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2h postprandial glucose (2hPG), knowledge of health education, treatment compliance scores, and changes in delivery outcomes were compared between the two groups. According to the maternal blood glucose control level, 160 pregnant women with GDM were divided into the better control group (143 cases) and the poor control group (17 cases). The risk factors affecting the level of maternal glycemic control in gestational diabetes were analyzed. RESULTS After the intervention, the levels of FBG and 2hPG were significantly lower in both groups than those before the intervention, while the levels of FBG and 2hPG in the study group were notably lower than those in the control group. The health education knowledge score and treatment compliance score after the intervention were significantly higher than those before the intervention, and the health education knowledge score and treatment compliance score in the study group were observably higher than those in the control group (p<0.01). The adverse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women in the study group were significantly reduced compared with those in the control group (p<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index (BMI), dietary control, literacy, and information-based continuity of care were all influential factors for maternal glycemic control level (p<0.05). Among the influencing factors, dietary control and continuity of care had clinical value in predicting maternal glycemic control levels in gestational diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Continuous nursing based on informatization can effectively control the blood glucose level of pregnant women with GDM, improve the treatment compliance of pregnant women and the awareness rate of gestational diabetes knowledge so as to reduce the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and improve the health level. In addition, BMI and dietary control are independent risk factors that affect the blood glucose control level of pregnant women. Relevant intervention measures should be formulated according to the relevant influencing factors to effectively control the blood glucose level of pregnant women with GDM and improve maternal and infant outcomes.

Abstract
Combined arterial spin labeling (ASL) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can reveal more comprehensive properties of the spatiotemporal and quantitative properties of brain networks. Imaging markers of end-stage renal disease associated with mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI) will be sought from these properties. The current multimodal classification methods often neglect to collect high-order relationships of brain regions and remove noise from the feature matrix. A multimodal classification framework is proposed to address this issue using hypergraph latent relation (HLR). A brain functional network with hypergraph structural information is constructed by fMRI data. The feature matrix is obtained through graph theory (GT). The cerebral blood flow (CBF) from ASL is selected as the second modal feature matrix. Then, the adaptive similarity matrix is constructed by learning the latent relation between feature matrices. Latent relation adaptive similarity learning (LRAS) is introduced to multi-task feature learning to construct a multimodal feature selection method based on latent relation (LRMFS). The experimental results show that the best classification accuracy (ACC) reaches 88.67%, at least 2.84% better than the state-of-the-art methods. The proposed framework preserves more valuable information between brain regions and reduces noise among feature matrixes. It provides an essential reference value for ESRDaMCI recognition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of computed tomography (CT) texture features in the treatment response of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (APC) receiving palliative chemotherapy. METHODS This study enrolled 84 patients with APC treated with first-line chemotherapy and conducted texture analysis on primary pancreatic tumors. 59 patients and 25 were randomly assigned to the training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 7:3. The treatment response to chemotherapy was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST1.1). The patients were divided into progressive and non-progressive groups. The least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) was applied for feature selection in the training cohort and a radiomics signature (RS) was calculated. A nomogram was developed based on a multivariate logistic regression model incorporating the RS and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and was internally validated using the C-index and calibration plot. We performed the decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve analysis to reflect the clinical utility of the nomogram. The nomogram was further externally confirmed in the validation cohort. RESULTS The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the RS and CA19-9 were independent predictors (P < 0.05), and a trend was found for chemotherapy between progressive and non-progressive groups. The nomogram incorporating RS, CA19-9 and chemotherapy showed favorable discriminative ability in the training (C-index = 0.802) and validation (C-index = 0.920) cohorts. The nomogram demonstrated favorable clinical utility. CONCLUSION The RS of significant texture features was significantly associated with the early treatment effect of patients with APC treated with chemotherapy. Based on the RS, CA19-9 and chemotherapy, the nomogram provided a promising way to predict chemotherapeutic effects for APC patients.

Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) experience changes in both the structure and function of their brain networks. In the past, cognitive impairment was often classified based on connectivity features, which only reflected the characteristics of the binary brain network or weighted brain network. It exhibited limited interpretability and stability. This study aims to quantitatively characterize the topological properties of brain functional networks (BFNs) using multi-threshold derivative (MTD), and to establish a new classification framework for end-stage renal disease with mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI). The dynamic BFNs (DBFNs) were constructed and binarized with multiple thresholds, and then their topological properties were extracted from each binary brain network. These properties were then quantified by calculating their derivative curves and expressing them as multi-threshold derivative (MTD) features. The classification results of MTD features were compared with several commonly used DBFN features, and the effectiveness of MTD features in the classification of ESRDaMCI was evaluated based on the classification performance test. The results indicated that the linear fusion of MTD features improved classification performance and outperformed individual MTD features. Its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 85.98 ± 2.92%, 86.10 ± 4.11%, and 81.54 ± 4.27%, respectively. Finally, the feature weights of MTD were analyzed, and MTD-cc had the highest weight percentage of 28.32% in the fused features. The MTD features effectively supplemented traditional feature quantification by addressing the issue of indistinct classification differentiation. It improved the quantification of topological properties and provided more detailed features for diagnosing cognitive disorders.

Abstract
Effectively selecting discriminative brain regions in multi-modal neuroimages is one of the effective means to reveal the neuropathological mechanism of end-stage renal disease associated with mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI). Existing multi-modal feature selection methods usually depend on the Euclidean distance to measure the similarity between data, which tends to ignore the implied data manifold. A self-expression topological manifold based multi-modal feature selection method (SETMFS) is proposed to address this issue employing self-expression topological manifold. First, a dynamic brain functional network is established using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), after which the betweenness centrality is extracted. The feature matrix of fMRI is constructed based on this centrality measure. Second, the feature matrix of arterial spin labeling (ASL) is constructed by extracting the cerebral blood flow (CBF). Then, the topological relationship matrices are constructed by calculating the topological relationship between each data point in the two feature matrices to measure the intrinsic similarity between the features, respectively. Subsequently, the graph regularization is utilized to embed the self-expression model into topological manifold learning to identify the linear self-expression of the features. Finally, the selected well-represented feature vectors are fed into a multicore support vector machine (MKSVM) for classification. The experimental results show that the classification performance of SETMFS is significantly superior to several state-of-the-art feature selection methods, especially its classification accuracy reaches 86.10%, which is at least 4.34% higher than other comparable methods. This method fully considers the topological correlation between the multi-modal features and provides a reference for ESRDaMCI auxiliary diagnosis.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to predict the risk of mortality rate in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) based on the risk prediction model of CABG using artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies. The clinical data of 2,364 patients undergoing CABG in our hospital from January 2019 to August 2021 were collected in this work. Based on AI and big data technology, business requirement analysis, system requirement analysis, complication prediction module, big data mining technology, and model building are carried out, respectively; the successful CABG risk prediction system includes case feature analysis service, risk warning service, and case retrieval service. The commonly used precision, recall, and F1-score were adopted to evaluate the quality of the gradient-boosted tree (GBT) model. The analysis proved that the GBT model was the best in terms of precision, F1-score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). According to the CABG risk prediction model, 1,382 patients had a score of <0, 463 patients had a score of 0 ≤ score ≤ 2, 252 patients had a score of 2 < score ≤ 5, and 267 patients had a score of >5, which were stratified into four groups: A, B, C, and D. The actual number of in-hospital deaths was 25, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 1.05%. The mortality rate predicted by the CABG risk prediction model was 2.67 ± 1.82% (95% confidential interval (CI) (2.87-2.98)), which was higher than the actual value. The CABG risk prediction model showed the credible results only in group B with AUC = 0.763 > 0.7. In group B, 3 patients actually died, the actual mortality rate was 0.33%, and the predicted mortality rate was 0.96 ± 0.78 (95% CI (0.82-0.87)), which overestimated the mortality rate of patients in group B. It successfully constructed a CABG risk prediction model based on the AI and big data technologies, which would overestimate the mortality of patients with intermediate risk, and it is suitable for different types of heart diseases through continuous research and development and innovation, and provides clinical guidance value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current treatment paradigm of imatinib-resistant metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) does not incorporate KIT/PDGFRA genotypes in therapeutic drug sequencing, except for PDGFRA exon 18-mutant GIST that is indicated for avapritinib treatment. Here, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing was used to analyze plasma samples prospectively collected in the phase III VOYAGER trial to understand how the KIT/PDGFRA mutational landscape contributes to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance and to determine its clinical validity and utility. PATIENTS AND METHODS VOYAGER (N = 476) compared avapritinib with regorafenib in patients with KIT/PDGFRA-mutant GIST previously treated with imatinib and one or two additional TKIs (NCT03465722). KIT/PDGFRA ctDNA mutation profiling of plasma samples at baseline and end of treatment was assessed with 74-gene Guardant360® CDx. Molecular subgroups were determined and correlated with outcomes. RESULTS A total of 386/476 patients with KIT/PDGFRA-mutant tumors underwent baseline (pre-trial treatment) ctDNA analysis; 196 received avapritinib and 190 received regorafenib. KIT and PDGFRA mutations were detected in 75.1% and 5.4%, respectively. KIT resistance mutations were found in the activation loop (A-loop; 80.4%) and ATP-binding pocket (ATP-BP; 40.8%); 23.4% had both. An average of 2.6 KIT mutations were detected per patient; 17.2% showed 4-14 different KIT resistance mutations. Of all pathogenic KIT variants, 28.0% were novel, including alterations in exons/codons previously unreported. PDGFRA mutations showed similar patterns. ctDNA-detected KIT ATP-BP mutations negatively prognosticated avapritinib activity, with a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 1.9 versus 5.6 months for regorafenib. mPFS for regorafenib did not vary regardless of the presence or absence of ATP-BP/A-loop mutants and was greater than mPFS with avapritinib in this population. Secondary KIT ATP-BP pocket mutation variants, particularly V654A, were enriched upon disease progression with avapritinib. CONCLUSIONS ctDNA sequencing efficiently detects KIT/PDGFRA mutations and prognosticates outcomes in patients with TKI-resistant GIST treated with avapritinib. ctDNA analysis can be used to monitor disease progression and provide more personalized treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With the acceleration of aging progress, China is projected to have the largest older population globally. This study aimed to examine the association of upper limb strength (ULS) and lower limb strength (LLS) with all-cause mortality based on the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2012-2018). STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective cohort study. METHODS Participants were 2442 older adults (aged 84.98 ± 11.94 years) recruited from eight longevity areas in China. Limb muscle strength was evaluated using handgrip strength and objective physical examinations. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyze the association of limb muscle strength with all-cause mortality. Demographic characteristics, health status, and biological markers were included as confounders. RESULTS Over a median follow-up period of 42.2 months, 993 older people died. After adjusting for all covariates, low ULS was associated with higher mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.25-1.84), and the association of low LLS with all-cause mortality was only significant in women (HR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.04-1.79). Participants with combined low ULS and low LLS had the highest risk of mortality than those with normal limb muscle strength (hazard ratio = 2.06, 95% confidence interval = 1.61-2.63). The combined association of ULS and LLS with mortality was robust in subgroup and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION Low ULS and low LLS were independently and synergistically associated with higher all-cause mortality risk. Considering the high prevalence of limb muscle weakness among Chinese older adults, especially the oldest-old, limb strength could be considered as a potential doable mortality predictor for community health care.

Abstract
Studies investigating the effect of scald time on pork quality are confounded with time of dehairing. To understand better pork quality development and two-toning in hams, twenty-four carcasses were assigned to an 8- or 16-min dwell time prior to the dehairing, with or without scalding (n = 6 per trt). Semimembranosus (SM) muscles were collected following dehairing and at 24 h postmortem. Protracted time to dehair improved ultimate pH (pHu; P < 0.005) and reduced (P < 0.05) color variation. One hundred forty-two carcasses were then subjected to protracted (control, 10-min) dwell times (15-min, or 20-min) in an industrial setting. Lightness was improved with 15-min dwell times compared to control, however 20-min dwell decreased the pHu (P < 0.001), increased lightness (P < 0.05), and percent purge (P < 0.001) in the SM. Also, lightness of the longissimus muscle (LM) increased (P < 0.001) with dwell time. These data show time to dehairing impacts pork quality development and suggest dehairing may be critical to quality development in a muscle-dependent manner.

Abstract
Environmental and occupational exposure to cadmium (Cd) poses a serious threat to human health. Recent studies indicate that Cd perturbs the immune system and increases the risk of pathogenicity and mortality of bacterial or virus infection. However, the underlying mechanism of Cd-modulated immune responses remains unclear. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of Cd in the immune function of mouse spleen tissues and its primary T cells with Concanavalin A (ConA, a well-known T cell mitogen) activation condition, and elucidate the molecular mechanism. The results showed that Cd exposure inhibited ConA-induced the expressions of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) in mouse spleen tissues. Furthermore, the transcriptomic profile by RNA-sequence reveals that: (1) Cd exposure can alter immune system process; (2) Cd may affect the NFκB signaling pathway. Both in vitro and in vivo results showed that Cd exposure reduced ConA-activated toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)-IκBα-NFκB signaling, and the expressions of TLR9, TNF-α and IFN-γ, which were effectively reversed by autophagy-lysosomal inhibitors. All these results confirmedly demonstrated that, by promoting the autophagy-lysosomal degradation of TLR9, Cd suppressed immune response under ConA activation condition. This study provides insight on the mechanism of Cd immunnotoxicity, which might contribute to the prevention of Cd toxicity in the future.

Abstract
Stress is acknowledged as one of the major factors responsible for autophagy induction, a tightly regulated process that acts as a pro-death or pro-survival mechanism within cells. Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, induces apoptosis and autophagy in cells after exposure to low concentrations. This is due to Cd's ability to induce oxidative stress in cells and tissues by overproducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Several proteins have been found to mediate the process of autophagy but aspects of their specific roles and targets remain undefined. Though LC3-II and p62 have traditionally been used as biomarkers that define autophagy, recent findings have revealed some limitations to LC3-II since it can be accumulated in cells in an autophagy-independent manner, whereas p62 remains a good determinant of the process. In addition to LC3-II and p62, recent studies have suggested that a new member of the autophagy protein family, the vacuole membrane protein 1 (VMP1), is essential in driving autophagy and could be an important biomarker for detecting the initiation and progression of autophagy. This review therefore focuses on current trends in autophagy biomarkers, the effect of Cd on the expression of LC3-II, p62, VMP1, and Beclin-1 and their relation and inter-regulatory roles in autophagy and apoptosis, pharmacological importance and the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Although MRI has made considerable progress in Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), most studies have concentrated on data information from a single modality, and a better understanding of the interplay between brain function and structure, as well as appropriate clinical aids to diagnosis, is required. We calculated functional connectivity through fMRI time series using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) data from 27 IBD patients and 29 healthy controls. Through the DKI data of each subject, its unique structure map is obtained, and the relevant indicators are projected onto the structure map corresponding to each subject by using the graph Fourier transform in the grasp signal processing (GSP) technology. After the features are optimized, a classical support vector machine is used to classify the features. IBD patients have altered functional connectivity in the default mode network (DMN) and subcortical network (SCN). At the same time, compared with the traditional brain network analysis, in the test of some indicators, the average classification accuracy produced by the framework method is 12.73% higher than that of the traditional analysis method. This paper found that the brain network structure of IBD patients in DMN and SCN has changed. Simultaneously, the application of GSP technology to fuse functional information and structural information is superior to the traditional framework in classification, providing a new perspective for subsequent clinical auxiliary diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to construct a competent model that can effectively predict the prognosis of patients with gastric carcinoid (GC) or neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of patients with GC or NEC were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1975 to 2017. Univariable and multivariable Cox analysis was used to determine the independent factors for patients with GC or NEC. Nomograms were established based on the independent factors and the results were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS A total of 214 patients with GC and 65 patients with gastric NEC were extracted from the SEER database. Independent prognostic factors for patients with GC were M stage, gender, age, and chemotherapy. Independent prognostic factors for patients with gastric NEC included age, M stage, and chemotherapy. ROC curves, calibration curves, and DCA confirmed that the nomograms can precisely predict the prognosis of patients with GC and NEC. CONCLUSIONS The nomograms can effectively predict survival in patients with GC or NEC, which may assist the clinician in their decision-making and quantitatively judge the prognosis of individual patients.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd2+) exposure induces chronic kidney disease and renal cancers, which originate from injury and cancerization of renal tubular cells. Previous studies have shown that Cd2+ induced cytotoxicity by disrupting the intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis that is physically regulated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store. However, the molecular mechanism of ER Ca2+ homeostasis in Cd2+-induced nephrotoxicity remains unclear. In this study, our results firstly revealed that the activation of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) by NPS R-467 could protect against Cd2+ exposure-induced cytotoxicity of mouse renal tubular cells (mRTEC) by restoring ER Ca2+ homeostasis through the ER Ca2+ reuptake channel sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA). Cd2+-induced ER stress and cell apoptosis were effectively abrogated by SERCA agonist CDN1163 and SERCA2 overexpression. In addition, in vivo, and in vitro results proved that Cd2+ reduced the expressions of SERCA2 and its activity regulator phosphorylation phospholamban (p-PLB) in renal tubular cells. Cd2+-induced SERCA2 degradation was suppressed by the treatment of proteasome inhibitor MG132, which suggested that Cd2+ reduced SERCA2 protein stability by promoting the proteasomal protein degradation pathway. These results suggested that SERCA2 played pivotal roles in Cd2+-induced ER Ca2+ imbalance and stress to contribute to apoptosis of renal tubular cells, and the proteasomal pathway was involved in regulating SERCA2 stability. Our results proposed a new therapeutic approach targeting SERCA2 and associated proteasome that might protect against Cd2+-induced cytotoxicity and renal injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the association between early administration of vasopressors and in-hospital mortality in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients admitted to the ICU. PATIENTS AND METHODS The MIMIC-IV database was used to identify AP patients who had and had not received vasopressors. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression, propensity score matching (PSM), and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 894 AP patients admitted to the ICU were included in the study. Among them, AP patients who received vasopressors were associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality in the unadjusted model (OR: 7.77, 95% CI 4.92-12.61, p<0.001), multivariable-adjusted model (OR: 2.51,95% CI 1.1-5.76, p<0.05), PSM model (OR: 2.58, 95% CI 1.03-6.85, p<0.05) and IPTW model (OR: 1.82, 95% CI 1.06-3.15, p<0.05) compared with patients who did not receive vasopressors. In the subgroup analysis, age (≥ 65 years old: OR: 2.5, 95% CI 0.82-7.91; <65 years old: OR: 4.63, 95% CI 0.84-26.41), male (OR: 1.19, 95% CI 0.35-4.03), ethnicity (white: OR: 2.49, 95% CI 0.81-7.62; non-white: OR: 4.28, 95% CI 0.85-23.7), usage of norepinephrine (OR: 2.29, 95% CI 0.91-5.78), and single-use of vasopressor (OR: 1.48, 95% CI 0.43-4.95) were not associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with AP, whereas vasopressin (OR: 4.27, 95% CI 1.24-15.13; p<0.05) and phenylephrine usage (OR: 4.75, 95% CI 1.66-13.95; p<0.05), combined vasopressor usage (OR: 4.41, 95% CI 1.55-12.96; p<0.01), and female usage (OR: 7.89, 95% CI 2.03-34.2; p<0.01) were associated with in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Early vasopressor use is significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality among critically ill AP patients. This association might be greater in females, vasopressin, phenylephrine, and combined vasopressor users. Our results may benefit clinicians as they can guide the rational use of vasopressors in critically ill AP patients admitted to the ICU.

Abstract
The structure and function of brain networks (BN) may be altered in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, there are relatively few attentions on ESRD associated with mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI). Most studies focus on the pairwise relationships between brain regions, without taking into account the complementary information of functional connectivity (FC) and structural connectivity (SC). To address the problem, a hypergraph representation method is proposed to construct a multimodal BN for ESRDaMCI. First, the activity of nodes is determined by connection features extracted from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (i.e., FC), and the presence of edges is determined by physical connections of nerve fibers extracted from diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) (i.e., SC). Then, the connection features are generated through bilinear pooling and transformed into an optimization model. Next, a hypergraph is constructed according to the generated node representation and connection features, and the node degree and edge degree of the hypergraph are calculated to obtain the hypergraph manifold regularization (HMR) term. The HMR and L1 norm regularization terms are introduced into the optimization model to achieve the final hypergraph representation of multimodal BN (HRMBN). Experimental results show that the classification performance of HRMBN is significantly better than that of several state-of-the-art multimodal BN construction methods. Its best classification accuracy is 91.0891%, at least 4.3452% higher than that of other methods, verifying the effectiveness of our method. The HRMBN not only achieves better results in ESRDaMCI classification, but also identifies the discriminative brain regions of ESRDaMCI, which provides a reference for the auxiliary diagnosis of ESRD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Iodixanol contrast media with different doses using computed tomography angiography (CTA) and perfusion (CTP) to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) in overweight patients lacks assessment. Our study compared iodixanol 320 mg I/ml and 270 mg I/ml on image quality and accuracy of CTA combined CTP (CTA-CTP) to diagnose CAD. METHODS Overweight patients with suspected of CAD were randomized into iodixanol 270 group (received iodixanol 270 mg I/ml) and iodixanol 320 group (received iodixanol 320 mg I/ml). Based on these characteristics data, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and corresponding area under the curve (AUC) were plotted to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the two administrations. RESULTS The subjective definition score, signal to noise ratio, and CT value of aorta in iodixanol 320 group were higher than iodixanol 270 group. In iodixanol 270 group: the image exhibited a normal state of both vessels and myocardial perfusion; and the AUC, specificity, and sensitivity were 0.376, 66.67, and 80.46, respectively. In iodixanol 320 group: the image exhibited a diameter stenosis in right coronary artery and myocardial infarction of inferior wall and proximal inferior wall septum, as well as myocardial perfusion defects; and the AUC, specificity, and sensitivity in iodixanol 320 group were 0.824, 75.00, and 89.87, respectively. CONCLUSION Accuracy and image quality of iodixanol 320 mg I/ml in the diagnosis of CAD with CTA-CTP was higher than using iodixanol 270 mg I/ml.

Abstract
Fresh pork color is a function of pigment, and the pH and temperature conditions in the carcass postmortem. To explore the role of scald on color development, carcasses (n = 16) were subjected to either a 4- or 8-min scald. Semimembranosus (SM) muscle samples were collected before and after scalding, and at 24 h postmortem. A 50% reduction in scald time resulted in lighter color (L*) across the muscle early postmortem (P < 0.001), yet the 8-min scald treatment was lighter (P = 0.001) at 24 h. An interaction between scald time and sampling time showed in an increase in L* values at 4-min immediately following scald (P < 0.001). Two-hundred carcasses were then subjected to a modified scald time (6.5 min, or 7.5 min) in an industrial setting. Lowering scald time failed to recapitulate results. In fact, darker meat (L* value; P = 0.0166) was noted in the SM across longer scalds. These data suggest modest changes in scald time may not be responsible for changes in pork quality development.
