Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between proteinuria levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients remains controversial. METHODS In this investigation, we conducted a retrospective analysis involving 1138 patients who were registered in the CKD-Research of Outcomes in Treatment and Epidemiology (ROUTE) study. The primary outcome of this study was the composite of cardiovascular events or all-cause death. Cox proportional hazards regression, smooth curve fitting, piecewise linear regression, and subgroup analyses were used. RESULTS The mean age of the included individuals was 67.3 ± 13.6 years old. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for UPCR in middle and high groups, compared to the low group, were 1.93 (95% CI: 1.28-2.91) and 4.12 (95% CI: 2.87-5.92), respectively, after multivariable adjustment. Further adjustments maintained significant associations; HRs for middle and high groups were 1.71 (95% CI: 1.12-2.61) and 3.07 (95% CI: 2.08-4.54). A nonlinear UPCR-primary outcome relationship was observed, with an inflection point at 3.93 g/gCr. CONCLUSION Among non-dialyzed patients with stage G2-G5 CKD, a nonlinear association between UPCR and the primary outcome was observed. A higher UPCR (when UPCR < 3.93 g/gCr) was an independent predictor of the primary outcome. Importantly, our study predates SGLT2 inhibitor use, showcasing outcomes achievable without these medications. Future research considerations will involve factors like SGLT-2 inhibitor utilization.

Abstract
The moth-flame algorithm shows some shortcomings in solving the complex problem of optimization, such as insufficient population diversity and unbalanced search ability. In this paper, an IMFO (Improved Moth-Flame Optimization) algorithm is proposed to be applied in solving the optimization problem of function. First, cat chaotic mapping is used to generate the initial position of moth to improve the population diversity. Second, cosine inertia weight is introduced to balance the global and local search abilities of the algorithm. Third, the memory information in the particle swarm algorithm is introduced into the iterative process of the algorithm to speed up the convergence of the population. Finally, Gaussian mutation strategy is used in the current optimal solution to avoid the algorithm from falling into the local optimum. Simulation experiments are conducted on 11 benchmark test functions, compared with other improved MFO (Moth-Flame Optimization) algorithms and classical optimization algorithms. The results show that the IMFO has higher accuracy and stability in solving the above-mentioned test functions. The proposed algorithm is experimented and verified by optimizing the KELM (Kernel Extreme Learning Machine) in an engineering example and exhibits a better optimization performance.

Abstract
Perovskite materials and their applications in optoelectronics have attracted intensive attentions in recent years. However, in-depth understanding about their anisotropic behavior in ultrafast carrier dynamics is still lacking. Here we explore the ultrafast dynamical evolution of photo-excited carriers and photoluminescence based on differently-oriented MAPbBr3 wafers. The distinct in-plane polarization of carrier relaxation dynamics of the (100), (110) and (111) wafers and their out-of-plane anisotropy in a picosecond time scale were found by femtosecond time- and polarization-resolved transient transmission measurements, indicating the relaxation process dominated by optical/acoustic phonon interaction is related to photoinduced transient structure rearrangements. Femtosecond laser two-photon fabricated patterns exhibit three orders of magnitude enhancement of emission due to the formation of tentacle-like microstructures. Such a ultrafast dynamic study carried on differently-oriented crystal wafers is believed to provide a deep insight about the photophysical process of perovskites and to be helpful for developing polarization-sensitive and ultrafast-response optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Background Hyperlipidemia is common in primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) patients, and tubular atrophy (TA) is an unfavorable prognostic factor. However, the correlation between the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and TA is controversial. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and TA in PMN patients. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study and collected data from 363 PMN patients at Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from January 2008 to April 2023. The primary objective was to evaluate the independent correlation between the TG/HDL-C ratio and TA using binary logistic regression model. We used a generalized additive model along with smooth curve fitting and multiple sensitivity analyses to explore the relationship between these variables. Additionally, subgroup analyses were conducted to delve deeper into the results. Results Of the 363 PMN patients, 75 had TA (20.66%). The study population had a mean age of 46.598 ± 14.462 years, with 217 (59.78%) being male. After adjusting for sex, age, BMI, hypertension, history of diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, UPRO, eGFR, HB, FPG, and ALB, we found that the TG/HDL-C ratio was an independent risk factor for TA in PMN patients (OR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.61, P=0.0213). A non-linear correlation was observed between the TG/HDL-C ratio and TA, with an inflection point at 4.25. The odds ratios (OR) on the left and right sides of this inflection point were 1.56 (95% CI: 1.17, 2.07) and 0.25 (95% CI: 0.04, 1.54), respectively. Sensitivity analysis confirmed these results. Subgroup analysis showed a consistent association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and TA, implying that factors such as gender, BMI, age, UPRO, ALB, hypertension and severe nephrotic syndrome had negligible effects on the link between the TG/HDL-C ratio and TA. Conclusion Our study demonstrates a non-linear positive correlation between the TG/HDL-C ratio and the risk of TA in PMN patients, independent of other factors. Specifically, the association is more pronounced when the ratio falls below 4.25. Based on our findings, it would be advisable to decrease the TG/HDL-C ratio below the inflection point in PMN patients as part of treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP), a special adverse event (AE) only observed in patients treated with camrelizumab, was reported to be correlated with the efficacy of camrelizumab in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. This study to analyze the possible correlation between the occurrence of RCCEP and efficacy of camrelizumab in patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and RCCEP occurrence of camrelizumab in 58 patients with R/M HNSCC in the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine between January 2019 and June 2022. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess the correlation between the occurrence of RCCEP and the survival of enrolled patients, and COX multifactor analysis was adopted to evaluate associated factors that affected the efficacy of camrelizumab immunotherapy. RESULTS A significant correlation between the incidence of RCCEP and a higher objective response rate was observed in this study (p=0.008). The occurrence of RCCEP was associated with better median overall survival (17.0 months vs. 8.7 months, p<0.0001, HR=5.944, 95% CI:2.097-16.84) and better median progression-free survival (15.1 months vs. 4.0 months, p<0.0001, HR=4.329,95% CI:1.683-11.13). In COX multifactor analysis, RCCEP occurrence was also an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in patients with R/M HNSCC. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of RCCEP can show a better prognosis, it could be used as a clinical biomarker to predict the efficacy of camrelizumab treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of institutional policies routine SARS-CoV-2 testing before treatment starts with mandatory quarantine periods for COVID-positive patients during the first year of the COVID19 pandemic across radiation oncology sections at our tertiary cancer center. MATERIALS/METHODS Electronic medical databases were queried to identify all patients treated with curative intent at a large urban cancer center and regional satellites a year prior to the pandemic (02/11/19-12/30/19; pre-pandemic) and the first year of the pandemic (03/11/20-12/30/20; post-pandemic). New treatment starts were filtered for those undergoing treatment under a single ICD-10 diagnosis and the first treatment in each time period for each patient. Chi-square tests were used for categorical variables, and the t-test was used for continuous variables to correlate differences in demographic and clinical factors before and during the pandemic. RESULTS The total number of new treatment starts were similar between the pre-pandemic (2,218 patients) and post-pandemic (2,130 patients) periods, but there was a 26% decrease in treatments in April 2020 compared to April 2019 and a 40% increase in treatments in November 2020 compared to November 2019. Post-pandemic patients had higher minimum Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (mean 46.0 vs 42.6, P = 0.0013) and were younger (62.8 yo vs 64.3 yo, P = 0.0001). The proportion of patients being treated from the same state as our institution was higher in the post-pandemic period compared to pre-pandemic (77.8% vs 72.43%, P = 0.0259). Distribution of treatments across department disease-site sections were significantly different (P<0.0001), with the proportion of patients treated by the Breast service having increased by 22% whereas the metropolitan area regional satellites experienced a 18% reduction. There were no statistically significant differences amongst pre- and post-pandemic patients with respect to race, marital status, or smoking status. Post-pandemic patients had less total radiation-related clinical visits (mean 24.8 vs 28.6, P<0.0001), lower administered dose (4329 cGy vs 4533 cGy, P<0.0001), and lower radiation fraction count (17 vs 19, P<0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in the duration between CT simulation and treatment start, but post-pandemic patients had shorter duration of elapsed days during treatment (27 days vs 29 days, P = 0.0001). A disease-site-specific analysis demonstrated that these differences were most pronounced in patients treated for breast cancer. CONCLUSION In the first year of the COVID19 pandemic, our institution saw a dynamic change in the number of new radiation treatments. Additional analyses across individual disease-specific services may reveal insight into dose, fractionation, and technique, which may account for the observed differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a widely explored therapeutic target in solid tumors. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab-pkrb, a biosimilar of trastuzumab, in combination with paclitaxel, in HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 27 patients; they were administered a loading dose of 8 mg/kg trastuzumab-pkrb on day 1, followed by 6 mg/kg and 175 mg/m2 paclitaxel on day 1 every 3 weeks, intravenously. All patients received six cycles of the combination treatment and continued to receive trastuzumab-pkrb maintenance until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to 2 years. HER2 positivity (based on immunohistochemistry analysis) was determined according to the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology /College of American Pathologists HER2 testing guidelines. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were evaluated via primary endpoint analysis. The ORR was 48.1% (1 complete and 12 partial responses) and the duration of response was 6.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.4-9.3 months]. With a median follow-up of 10.5 months, the median PFS and OS were 8.4 months (95% CI 6.2-8.8 months) and 13.5 months (95% CI 9.8 months-not reached), respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) of any grade was peripheral neuropathy (88.9%). The most common grade 3/4 TRAEs were neutropenia (25.9%), thrombocytopenia (7.4%), and anemia (7.4%). CONCLUSIONS Trastuzumab-pkrb plus paclitaxel demonstrates promising efficacy with manageable toxicity profiles in patients with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic UC.

Abstract
This study explores how the perception of specific aspects of smart governance affects the business environment as to attract investment. To this end, we used a survey design and collected data from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou. A total of 500 responses from different industries and companies were obtained and then empirically analyzed using ridge regression and intermediary effect models. We found that the perception of smart governance enhances investment due to strong governance and abundant business opportunities. Natural sustainability attracts investment directly because, when cities become smart, they tend to improve their sustainability and attract talent and capital inflows. This external participation has a direct impact on enterprise investment because it creates more business opportunities. An improved social credit system represents the comprehensive progress of the business environment and positively mediates smart governance and investment. This is the first study to combine the key elements of smart governance, the development stage of smart governance, and various dimensions of the business environment to analyze the influence of smart governance perceptions on commercial investments.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the pathological classification of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) and screen the immunohistochemical markers that can distinguish MPeM from peritoneal metastatic carcinoma (PC) . Methods: In June 2020, the pathological results of peritoneal biopsy of 158 MPeM and 138 PC patients from Cangzhou Central Hospital, Cangzhou People's Hospital, and Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May 2011 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and the pathological classifications of MPeM in Cangzhou were summarized. Immunohistochemical markers of MPeM and PC patients were analyzed, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn for differential diagnosis of MPeM and PC. Results: There were 55 male and 103 female MPeM patients in Cangzhou, with an average age of 57.1 years old. The asbestos exposure rate was 91.14% (144/158). The most common pathological classifications were cutaneous type, accounting for 90.51% (143/158). There were significant differences in the expression of calreticulum protein, CK5/6, vimentin, D2-40, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and tail type homologous nuclear gene transcription factor 2 (CDX-2) between MPeM and PC (P<0.05). Among the 6 positive markers, the sensitivity of calreticulum protein was the highest (0.905) and CEA was the lowest (0.428) . Conclusion: Calreticulum protein, CK5/6, vimentin, D2-40, CEA and CDX-2 may be used as specific markers to distinguish the diagnosis of MPeM from PC.

Abstract
Self-assembled enantiomers of an asymmetric di-iron metallohelix differ in their antiproliferative activities against HCT116 colon cancer cells such that the compound with Λ-helicity at the metals becomes more potent than the Δ compound with increasing exposure time. From concentration- and temperature-dependent 57Fe isotopic labelling studies of cellular accumulation we postulate that while the more potent Λ enantiomer undergoes carrier-mediated efflux, for Δ the process is principally equilibrative. Cell fractionation studies demonstrate that both enantiomers localise in a similar fashion; compound is observed mostly within the cytoskeleton and/or genomic DNA, with significant amounts also found in the nucleus and membrane, but with negligible concentration in the cytosol. Cell cycle analyses using flow cytometry reveal that the Δ enantiomer induces mild arrest in the G1 phase, while Λ causes a very large dose-dependent increase in the G2/M population at a concentration significantly below the relevant IC50. Correspondingly, G2-M checkpoint failure as a result of Λ-metallohelix binding to DNA is shown to be feasible by linear dichroism studies, which indicate, in contrast to the Δ compound, a quite specific mode of binding, probably in the major groove. Further, spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) failure, which could also be responsible for the observed G2/M arrest, is established as a feasible mechanism for the Λ helix via drug combination (synergy) studies and the discovery of tubulin and actin inhibition. Here, while the Λ compound stabilizes F-actin and induces a distinct change in tubulin architecture of HCT116 cells, Δ promotes depolymerization and more subtle changes in microtubule and actin networks.

Abstract
The KamLAND-Zen experiment has provided stringent constraints on the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay half-life in ^{136}Xe using a xenon-loaded liquid scintillator. We report an improved search using an upgraded detector with almost double the amount of xenon and an ultralow radioactivity container, corresponding to an exposure of 970 kg yr of ^{136}Xe. These new data provide valuable insight into backgrounds, especially from cosmic muon spallation of xenon, and have required the use of novel background rejection techniques. We obtain a lower limit for the 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}>2.3×10^{26} yr at 90% C.L., corresponding to upper limits on the effective Majorana neutrino mass of 36-156 meV using commonly adopted nuclear matrix element calculations.

Abstract
We present the development of a compact Thomson parabola ion spectrometer capable of characterizing the energy spectra of various ion species of multi-MeV ion beams from >1020W/cm2 laser produced plasmas at rates commensurate with the highest available from any of the current and near-future PW-class laser facilities. This diagnostic makes use of a polyvinyl toluene based fast plastic scintillator (EJ-260), and the emitted light is collected using an optical imaging system coupled to a thermoelectrically cooled scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor camera. This offers a robust solution for data acquisition at a high repetition rate, while avoiding the added complications and nonlinearities of micro-channel plate based systems. Different ion energy ranges can be probed using a modular magnet setup, a variable electric field, and a varying drift-distance. We have demonstrated operation and data collection with this system at up to 0.2 Hz from plasmas created by irradiating a solid target, limited only by the targeting system. With the appropriate software, on-the-fly ion spectral analysis will be possible, enabling real-time experimental control at multi-Hz repetition rates.

Abstract
The global scope of pollution from plastic waste is a well-known phenomenon associated with trade, mass consumption, and disposal of plastic products (e.g., personal protective equipment (PPE), viral test kits, and vacuum-packaged food). Recently, the scale of the problem has been exacerbated by increases in indoor livelihood activities during lockdowns imposed in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The present study describes the effects of increased plastic waste on environmental footprint and human health. Further, the technological/regulatory options and life cycle assessment (LCA) approach for sustainable plastic waste management are critically dealt in terms of their implications on energy resilience and circular economy. The abrupt increase in health-care waste during pandemic has been worsening environmental quality to undermine the sustainability in general. In addition, weathered plastic particles from PPE along with microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) can all adsorb chemical and microbial contaminants to pose a risk to ecosystems, biota, occupational safety, and human health. PPE-derived plastic pollution during the pandemic also jeopardizes sustainable development goals, energy resilience, and climate control measures. However, it is revealed that the pandemic can be regarded as an opportunity for explicit LCA to better address the problems associated with environmental footprints of plastic waste and to focus on sustainable management technologies such as circular bio-economies, biorefineries, and thermal gasification. Future researches in the energy-efficient clean technologies and circular bio-economies (or biorefineries) in concert with a "nexus" framework are expected to help reduce plastic waste into desirable directions.

Abstract
The PROBIES diagnostic is a new, highly flexible, imaging and energy spectrometer designed for laser-accelerated protons. The diagnostic can detect low-mode spatial variations in the proton beam profile while resolving multiple energies on a single detector or more. When a radiochromic film stack is employed for "single-shot mode," the energy resolution of the stack can be greatly increased while reducing the need for large numbers of films; for example, a recently deployed version allowed for 180 unique energy measurements spanning ∼3 to 75 MeV with <0.4 MeV resolution using just 20 films vs 180 for a comparable traditional film and filter stack. When utilized with a scintillator, the diagnostic can be run in high-rep-rate (>Hz rate) mode to recover nine proton energy bins. We also demonstrate a deep learning-based method to analyze data from synthetic PROBIES images with greater than 95% accuracy on sub-millisecond timescales and retrained with experimental data to analyze real-world images on sub-millisecond time-scales with comparable accuracy.

Background
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes are unsatisfactory despite postcardiac arrest care. Early prediction of prognoses might help stratify patients and provide tailored therapy.
Purpose
In this study, we derived and validated a novel scoring system to predict hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI) and in-hospital death (IHD).
Methods
We retrospectively analysed Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry data collected from in Korea between 2015 and 2018. Patients without neuroprognostication data were excluded, and the remaining patients were randomly divided into derivation and validation cohorts. HIBI was defined when at least one prognostication predicted a poor outcome. IHD meant all deaths regardless of cause. In the derivation cohort, stepwise multivariate logistic regression was conducted for HIBI and IHD scores, and model performance was assessed. We then classified patients into four categories and analysed associations between the categories and cerebral performance categories (CPCs) at hospital discharge. Finally, we validated our models in the internal validation cohort.
Results
Among 1373 patients, 240 were excluded, and 1133 were randomised into derivation (n=754) and validation cohorts (n=379). In the derivation cohort, 7 and 8 predictors were selected for HIBI (0–8) and IHD scores (0–11), respectively, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.85 (95% CI 0.82–0.87) and 0.80 (95% CI 0.77–0.82), respectively. Applying optimum cutoff values of ≥6 points for HIBI and ≥7 points for IHD, patients were classified as follows: HIBI (-)/IHD (-), Category 1 (n=424); HIBI (-)/IHD (+), Category 2 (n=100); HIBI (+)/IHD (-), Category 3 (n=21); and HIBI (+)/IHD (+), Category 4 (n=209). CPCs at discharge were significantly different in each category (p<0.001). In the validation cohort, the model showed moderate discrimination (AUC 0.83, 95% CI 0.79–0.87 for HIBI and AUC 0.77, 95% CI 0.72–0.81 for IHD) with good calibration. Each category of the validation cohort showed a significant difference in discharge outcomes (p<0.001) and a similar trend to the derivation cohort.
Conclusions
We presented a novel approach for assessing illness severity after OHCA. Although external prospective studies are warranted, risk stratification for HIBI and IHD could help provide OHCA patients with appropriate treatment.

Objective
To determine the clinical feasibility of novel serum biomarkers by comparing them with conventional serum biomarkers in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with target temperature management (TTM).
Methods
This study was a prospective observational study conducted on OHCA patients who underwent TTM. We measured serum biomarker Neuron‑Specific Enolase (NSE), S-100B (S100 calcium-binding protein), Tau protein, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Neurofilament Light Chain (NFL), and Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Conventional biomarkers include NSE and S-100B. The primary outcome was good neurologic outcome at 6 months after OHCA.
Results
A total of 100 patients were included in this study from August 2018 to May 2020. Among the included patients, 46 patients had good neurologic outcomes. As for the biomarker's AUC value measured immediately after ROSC, GFAP had the highest value (0.850), and among the values measured 24 hours after ROSC, S100B showed the highest value (0.901). The AUC values of biomarkers measured after 48 hours and 72 hours after ROSC, were the highest in NFL (0.921, 0.946). AUC values measured after 72 hours of ROSC showed higher values in novel biomarkers than in conventional biomarkers.
Conclusion
After 72 hours of ROSC, the Novel biomarkers showed a higher AUC value than the conventional biomarkers. Among them, NFL showed the highest AUC values than other biomarkers at 48 and 72 hours of ROSC.

Abstract
AIMS Medication for advanced sarcomas has not improved for three decades. Patient-derived tumour xenografts (PDTX) are a promising solution for developing new therapies and real-time personalised medicine because of their highly effective prediction of drug efficacy. However, there is a dearth of PDTX models for sarcomas due to the scarcity and heterogeneity of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multicentre clinical collaborative study (ChiCTR-OOC-17013617) was carried out. Fresh patient tumour tissues via resection or biopsy were used for the PDTX set-up. The standard medical care chosen by the physician was given to the patient, in parallel with testing on multiple regimens. The outcomes of patients' responses and PDTX tests were compared. Comprehensive analyses were carried out to assess the clinical value of PDTX for the treatment of sarcomas. Living tissues from successfully engrafted cases were deposited into a repository. RESULTS Forty-two cases, including 36 bone sarcomas and six soft-tissue sarcomas, were enrolled; the overall engraftment rate was 73.8%. Histopathological examination showed a 100% consistency between primary tumours and tumour grafts. The engraftment rate was independent of age, gender and sampling methods, but was associated with subtypes of tumour. The outgrowth time of tumour grafts could be associated with prognosis. Major somatic mutations in tumour grafts occurred primarily in common tumour driver genes. Poor prognosis was associated with the KMT2C mutation. A drug efficacy test showed complete concordance between the PDTX model and patients' responses in 17 regimens. CONCLUSION PDTX is an ideal preclinical model for sarcomas because of its faithful preservation of the heterogeneity of the disease, a satisfactory engraftment rate and high accuracy in its prediction of drug efficacy.

Abstract
After establishment of an animal model of atherosclerosis, speckle tracking imaging was performed to analyze the correlation between ultrasound characteristics and pathological manifestations. Rabbits were divided into the normal control (NC) and atherosclerosis (AS) groups. Rabbits in the AS group were subjected to ultrasound-guided balloon injury of the abdominal aorta and fed a high-fat diet for 16 wk. Rabbits in the NC group were fed a normal diet for the same period. After 16 wk, all animals underwent serological tests, ultrasound and speckle tracking circumferential strain analysis. In the AS group, 28 hypo-echoic plaques had formed. The circumferential strain of six segments at the short axis of plaques in the AS group was lower than that in the NC group (p < 0.001), and global circumferential strain (GCS) in the AS group was significantly reduced compared with the NC group (p < 0.001). In the AS group, the area ratio of type I to type III collagen fibers was smaller than that in the NC group. The GCS of atherosclerotic plaques was positively correlated with the area ratio of type I to type III collagen fibers in plaques (r = 0.7181, p < 0.001). In conclusion, there is a significant positive correlation between the decreased circumferential strain and the decreased area ratio of type I to type III collagen fibers in hypo-echoic plaques.

Abstract
We present in this work the development of an ultra-compact, multi-channel x-ray spectrometer (UCXS). This diagnostic has been specially built and adapted to perform at high-repetition-rate (>1 Hz) for high-intensity, short-pulse laser plasma experiments. X-ray filters of varying materials and thicknesses are chosen to provide spectral resolution up to ΔE ≈ 1 keV over the x-ray energy range of 1-30 keV. These filters are distributed over a total of 25 channels, where each x-ray filter is coupled to a single scintillator. The UCXS is designed to detect and resolve a large variety of laser-driven x-ray sources such as low energy bremsstrahlung emission, fluorescence, and betatron radiation (up to 30 keV). Preliminary results from commissioning experiments at the ABL laser facility at Colorado State University are provided.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The number of hospitals offering transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) programs has increased exponentially in the United States over past several years. Multiple prior studies indicate relationship between hospital volume and clinical outcomes for various cardiac procedures.
Purpose
The association between the hospital procedural volume and clinical outcomes for TAVR is yet poorly understood. In this study, we aim to examine the in-hospital outcomes after TAVR stratified by hospital volume within a nationally representative, large database.
Methods
The National Readmission Database (NRD) 2016–2019 was used to identify hospitals with established TAVR programs (performing ≥20 TAVRs/year). Based on annualized procedural volume of transfemoral TAVR, hospitals were stratified into tertiles of low, medium, and high volume TAVR centers. Rates of adverse in-hospital events (death, cardiac arrest, stroke, vascular complications, and permanent pacemaker), 30-day mortality, and 30-day readmission rates were examined. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to compare overall outcomes following TAVR in low-, medium-, and high-volume centers; adjusted for baseline characteristics and comorbidity burden.
Results
Of 71 million discharge records reviewed, a total of 232,581 patients underwent transfemoral TAVR between 2016–2019. Of all the TAVR cases, 77,183 (33.2%), 75,987 (32.7%), and 79,411 (34.1%) were performed at low-, medium-, and high-volume hospitals respectively. The median number of annual TAVR procedures was 91, 229, and 456 in low-, medium-, and high-volume centers respectively. Adjusted in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in low-volume (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.21–1.62, p<0.01) and medium-volume (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.11–1.50, p<0.01) hospitals compared with high-volume centers. Similarly, adjusted 30-day mortality (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.27–1.66, p<0.01), 30-day readmission rates (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05–1.18, p<0.01), and in-hospital cardiac arrest (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.08–1.33, p<0.01) were significantly higher for centers in the lowest-volume tertile compared with those in the highest-volume tertile. There were no significant differences in hospital length of stay (mean, 4.3±6.5 days), in-hospital stroke, acute kidney injury, vascular complications, need for permanent pacemaker, or mechanical circulatory support post-TAVR between the three groups.
Conclusion
In the United States, an inverse volume-mortality relationship was observed for transfemoral TAVR procedures from 2016 through 2019. Mortality and readmission rates at 30 days post-TAVR were significantly higher at low-volume hospitals compared with high-volume hospitals. Further research focusing at establishing protocols and standardized training programs may help mitigate the discrepancy in TAVR outcomes amongst hospitals with discrepant procedural volume.

Abstract
Accurately and rapidly diagnosing laser-plasma interactions is often difficult due to the time-intensive nature of the analysis and will only become more so with the rise of high repetition rate lasers and the desire to implement feedback on a commensurate timescale. Diagnostic analysis employing machine learning techniques can help address this problem while maintaining a high degree of accuracy. We report on the application of machine learning to the analysis of a scintillator-based electron spectrometer for experiments on high intensity, laser-plasma interactions at the Colorado State University Advanced Lasers and Extreme Photonics facility. Our approach utilizes a neural network trained on synthetic data and tested on experiments to extract the accelerated electron temperature. By leveraging transfer learning, we demonstrate an improvement in the neural network accuracy, decreasing the network error by 50%.

Abstract
Background Despite the increasing prevalence of poor sleep quality among medical students, only few studies have identified the factors associated with it sing methods from epidemiological surveys. Predicting poor sleep quality is critical for ensuring medical Students’ good physical and mental health. The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive visual predictive nomogram for predicting the risk of poor sleep quality in medical students. Methods We investigated medical Students’ association with poor sleep quality at JiTang College of North China University of Science and Technology through a cross-sectional study. A total of 5,140 medical students were randomized into a training cohort (75%) and a validation cohort (25%). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the factors associated with poor sleep quality. A nomogram was constructed to predict the individual risk of poor sleep quality among the medical students studied. Results 31.9% of medical students in the study reported poor sleep quality. We performed multivariate logistic analysis and obtained the final model, which confirmed the risk and protective factors of poor sleep quality (p < 0.05). Protective factors included the absence of physical discomfort (OR = 0.638, 95% CI: 0.546–0.745). Risk factors included current drinking (OR = 0.638, 95% CI: 0.546∼0.745), heavy study stress (OR = 2.753, 95% CI: 1.456∼5.631), very heavy study stress (OR = 3.182, 95% CI: 1.606∼6.760), depressive symptoms (OR = 4.305, 95% CI: 3.581∼5.180), and anxiety symptoms (OR = 1.808, 95% CI: 1.497∼2.183). The area under the ROC curve for the training set is 0.776 and the area under the ROC curve for the validation set is 0.770, which indicates that our model has good stability and prediction accuracy. Decision curve analysis and calibration curves demonstrate the clinical usefulness of the predictive nomograms. Conclusion Our nomogram helps predict the risk of poor sleep quality among medical students. The nomogram used includes the five factors of drinking, study stress, recent physical discomfort, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms. The model has good performance and can be used for further research on and the management of the sleep quality of medical students.

Abstract
Short-pulse, laser-solid interactions provide a unique platform for studying complex high-energy-density matter. We present the first demonstration of solid-density, micron-scale keV plasmas uniformly heated by a high-contrast, 400 nm wavelength laser at intensities up to 2×10^{21} W/cm^{2}. High-resolution spectral analysis of x-ray emission reveals uniform heating up to 3.0 keV over 1 μm depths. Particle-in-cell simulations indicate the production of a uniformly heated keV plasma to depths of 2 μm. The significant bulk heating and presence of highly ionized ions deep within the target are attributed to the few MeV hot electrons that become trapped and undergo refluxing within the target sheath fields. These conditions enabled the differentiation of atomic physics models of ionization potential depression in high-energy-density environments.

Abstract
The transmission dynamics and health risks of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are inextricably linked to ineract with environment, climate, air pollution, and meteorological conditions. The spread of COVID-19 infection can thus perturb the 'planetary health' and livelihood by exerting impacts on the temporal and spatial variabilities of environmental pollution. Prioritization of COVID-19 by the health-care sector has been posing a serious threat to economic progress while undermining the efforts to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for environmental sustainability. Here, we review the multifaceted effects of COVID-19 with respect to environmental quality, climatic variables, SDGs, energy resilience, and sustainability programs. It is well perceived that COVID-19 may have long-lasting and profound effects on socio-economic systems, food security, livelihoods, and the 'nexus' indicators. To seek for the solution of these problems, consensus can be drawn to establish and ensure a sound health-care system, a sustainable environment, and a circular bioeconomy. A holistic analysis of COVID-19's effects on multiple sectors should help develop nature-based solutions, cleaner technologies, and green economic recovery plans to help maintain environmental sustainability, ecosystem resilience, and planetary health.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between CLOCK and BMAL1 genes and MEN2 medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Methods: Thirteen cases with MEN2 MTC and thirteen cases with non-MEN2 MTC were selected who were treated in the Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital between January 2013 and September 2021. Clinical indicators such as blood calcitonin level, tumor diameter and metastatic lymph node of patients were collected. The expression differences of CLOCK and BMAL1 between MEN2 MTC and para-carcinoma tissue as well as between MEN2 MTC and non-MEN2 MTC were detected by immunohistochemistry and qPCR. The correlation between lymph node metastasis and CLOCK or BMAL1 expression was analyzed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis combined with qPCR and correlation analysis was used to explore the expression regulation relationship between RET and circadian clock genes. The rhythm disorder of MEN2 cells was verified by lipopolysaccharide cell stimulation experiment after dexamethasone rhythm synchronization. Results: MEN2 MTC exhibited typical RET gene mutation. The mean blood calcitonin level, the tumor diameter and the number of metastatic lymph nodes of patients with MEN2 MTC were higher than those of patients with non-MEN2 MTC (t value was 2.76, 2.53, 2.26, all P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression levels of CLOCK and BMAL1 in MEN2 MTC were higher than those in non-MEN2 MTC, while negatively expressed in para-cancerous thyroid follicle. qPCR displayed that the expression of CLOCK gene in cancer tissues was higher than that in non-MEN2 MTC and para-cancerous tissues (t value was 2.68 and 2.86, all P<0.05); the expression of BMAL1 gene in MEN2 MTC was higher than that in non-MEN2 MTC and para-cancerous tissues (t value was 2.21 and 2.35, all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of CLOCK and BMAL1 genes were positively correlated with the number of lymph node metastases in patients with MEN2 MTC (r=0.65, P<0.001; r=0.52, P=0.005). PPI network analysis indicated that the expression of CLOCK gene was positively correlated with the abnormal expression of RET gene (r=0.96, P<0.001). With lipopolysaccharide to stimulate cultured cells in vitro after dexamethasone rhythm synchronization, the expressions of CLOCK and BMAL1 in MEN2 MTC cells (0.47±0.22 and 2.60±1.48) at 12 hours of synchronization were significantly lower than those in para-cancerous tissues (1.70±1.62 and 8.23±2.52), the difference was statistically significant(t=5.04, P=0.007; t=3.34, P=0.029). Conclusion: CLOCK and BMAL1 are correlated with the occurrence and development of MEN2 MTC, and may be potential targets for the development of new therapeutic strategies for MEN2 MTC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of physical activity on hip/knee osteoarthritis (OA) and how it varies by genetic susceptibility to OA remains inconclusive. METHODS In a cohort study of UK Biobank, 436,166 OA-free participants were recruited in 2006-2010 and followed for knee/hip OA until the end of 2020. 28 physical activity-related items were collected at baseline. Cox regression was used to estimate associations between physical activity behaviors, as well as major activity patterns (i.e., significant principal components[PCs] identified by principal component analysis), and risk of OA, adjusting for multiple confounders. We further stratified the analyses by polygenic risk score (PRS) for OA to examine the impact of genetic susceptibility to OA on the studied association. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 11.15 years, 13,227 hip and 21,119 knee OA cases were identified. 19, out of 28, studied items showed associations with increased OA risk. Compared with low adherence group(<1st tertile of PC score for each pattern), individuals with high adherence to five identified patterns were associated with increased risk of OA. The moderate adherence to "strenuous sports"(HR = 0.93, 95%CI: 0.89-0.97) and "walking for pleasure"(HR = 0.93, 95%CI: 0.89-0.98) patterns was associated with reduced OA. Similar risk patterns were obtained in the stratified analysis by PRS levels for OA. CONCLUSION High intensity of most activity patterns were associated with increased OA. However, a protective effect was suggested for moderate adherence to patterns of "strenuous sports" and "walking for pleasure" that consistent across different genetic susceptibilities, underscoring the potential benefits of moderate-intensity physical activity on OA.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the feasibility of an ultra-low volume contrast media (CM) protocol for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 214 patients receiving coronary CTA were enrolled prospectively and divided into group A (n=107) receiving a conventional dose of CM and group B (n=107) receiving an ultra-low dose. CT values of the right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD), and left circumflex artery (LCX) were measured and radiation doses recorded. The image quality was compared between the groups. Changes in renal function indices and proteinuria before, 24, and 72 hours after coronary CTA among those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were also assessed. RESULTS There were significant differences in CT values and radiation doses between groups A and B. In group A, the average RCA, LAD, and LCX CT values were 412.5 ± 79.2, 423.5 ± 73.7, and 422.0 ± 88.1 HU, respectively. In group B, the average RCA, LAD, and LCX CT values were 275.2 ± 16.2, 277.8 ± 16.4, and 278.9 ± 16.5 HU, respectively. The radiation dose in the ultra-low protocol recipients (118.70 ± 18.52 mGy·cm) was significantly lower than that used in conventional coronary CTA (131.75 ± 20.96 mGy·cm). The image quality of group B was comparable to that of group A, satisfying the diagnostic requirement. In patients with mild CKD, there were no significant differences in renal functions after coronary CTA. CONCLUSION An ultra-low CM protocol was established for coronary CTA, providing comparable image quality and diagnostic yields but significantly lower radiation dose compared with a conventional protocol. This new protocol might be applicable to patients with mild CKD.

Abstract
The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson was the last missing component of the model. After observation of the Higgs boson, a measurement of the W boson mass provides a stringent test of the model. We measure the W boson mass, MW, using data corresponding to 8.8 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a 1.96 tera-electron volt center-of-mass energy with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A sample of approximately 4 million W boson candidates is used to obtain [Formula: see text], the precision of which exceeds that of all previous measurements combined (stat, statistical uncertainty; syst, systematic uncertainty; MeV, mega-electron volts; c, speed of light in a vacuum). This measurement is in significant tension with the standard model expectation.

Abstract
Natural structural colors inspire people to obtain the technology of spectral characteristics by designing and preparing micro-nano structures on the material’s surface. In this paper, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to simulate the spectral selectivity of micro-nano grating on an Au surface, and the spectral response characteristics of different physical parameters to the incident light are obtained. The results show that, when the grating depth is shallow, the absorption peaks of TM polarized incident light on the material surface take on redshifts with the increase in the grating period. Meanwhile, when the depth-width ratio of the grating structure is high, the absorption peak appears in the reflection spectrum and presents a linear red shift with the increase in the grating period after the linearly polarized light TE wave incident on the surface of the micro-nano structure. At the same time, the wavelength of the absorption peak of the reflection spectrum and the grating period take on one-to-one correspondence relations, and when the TM polarized light is incident, the reflection spectrum exhibits obvious selective absorption characteristic peaks at certain grating periods (for example, when the period is 0.4 μm, there are three absorption peaks at the wavelengths of 0.7, 0.95, and 1.55 μm). These simulation results can provide a good theoretical basis for the preparation of micro-nano structures with spectral regulation function in the practical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The microRNA (miRNA) expression of the tonsil tissues in patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) has not been reported in the literature. METHODS In this study, the expression of nine miRNAs was measured in the tonsil tissues of patients with IgAN, including miRNA-21-5p, miRNA-29a-3p, miRNA-34a-5p, miRNA-146a-5p, miRNA-146b-5p, miRNA-148b-3p, miRNA-150-5p, miRNA-155-5p, and miRNA-181a-5p. Forty patients with proved primary IgA nephropathy were enrolled in our study, 20 IgAN patients with gross hematuria, which induced by tonsillitis (GH-IgAN group) and 20 IgAN patients without gross hematuria in the history (non-GH-IgAN group). Another 20 patients recruited as the control group (CT group) were chronic tonsillitis without kidney disease. RESULTS Compared to the CT group, the expression level of miRNA-150-5p in the tonsils was significantly upregulated in the GH-IgAN group, but not in the non-GH-IgAN group (P = 0.031 and P = 0.122, respectively). A correlation analysis was performed between the expression of miRNAs in the tonsils and the clinical data of IgAN patients. The results showed that in the GH-IgAN group, the miRNA-150 expression was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure (β = 2.36, 95% CI 1.11-3.61, P = 0.0016), diastolic blood pressure (β = 1.02, 95% CI 0.22-1.82, P = 0.0224), uric acid (β = 7.43, 95% CI 1.81-13.04, P = 0.0184), leukocyte count (β = 0.22, 95% CI 0.09-0.35, P = 0039), neutrophil count (β = 0.19, 95% CI 0.06-0.32, P = 0.0096), cholesterol (β = 0.09, 95% CI 0.02-0.16, P = 0.0207) and triglyceride level (β = 0.16, 95% CI 0.10-0.22, P < 0.000). Besides, it was negatively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (β = -2.06, 95% CI: -3.90 - -0.21, P = 0.0421) in the GH-IgAN group; however, no significant correlation was found in the non-GH-IgAN group. CONCLUSION The present findings suggest that miRNA-150-5p may be important in the pathogenesis of IgAN, especially in mucosal immunity against the disease.

Abstract
To explore the protective effects of L-carnitine on erectile function and reproductive function in rats with diabetes. A total of 60 male diabetes mellitus induced-erectile dysfunction (DMED) rats were randomly divided into three groups, 20 rats in each group. The blank group was fed normally, the control group was fed with 0.9% sodium chloride solution 5 ml/kg/day, and the experimental group was given L-carnitine 300 mg/kg/day. After six weeks, the Corpus cavernosum penis pressure (ICP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured. The sperm of epididymis were taken to detect the parameters of sperm. After six weeks of treatment, ICP and MAP in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05), and sperm density and PR in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group and the blank group (p < 0.05). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05). Malondialdehyde (MDA) in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05). The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05). We conclude that L-carnitine can significantly improve erectile function and reproductive function in rats with diabetes and it has great potential in the treatment of systemic organ damage in DMED rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to elucidate the regulatory effects of microRNA-655-3p (miR-655-3p) on growth and invasiveness of trophoblasts to influence the development of preeclampsia (PE). PATIENTS AND METHODS Relative levels of miR-655-3p and PBX3 in 24 PE pregnant women and 24 healthy ones were examined. Then, the regulatory effects of miR-655-3p and PBX3 on viability and invasiveness in HTR-8/SVneo cells were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assay, respectively. Next, the expression levels of apoptosis-associated genes were determined. Finally, the interaction between miR-655-3p and PBX3 was tested by Dual-Luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS MiR-655-3p was upregulated in placental tissues of PE pregnant women than those of healthy ones. The overexpression of miR-655-3p suppressed viability and invasiveness, and induced apoptosis in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Besides, PBX3 was the target gene binding to miR-655-3p, and more importantly, the overexpression of PBX3 partially reversed the regulatory effects of miR-655-3p on viability and invasiveness in HTR-8/SVneo cells. CONCLUSIONS MiR-655-3p is involved in the development of PE by regulating biological features of trophoblasts by targeting PBX3.

Abstract
Introduction The Oxford Classification score, which predicts renal outcomes for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), is widely used in clinical practice. Nevertheless, the relationship between these markers and longitudinal changes in renal function are poorly understood. Methods This was a population-based retrospective cohort study of 280 adults with biopsy-proven primary IgAN from 2011 to 2018. We used generalized additive mixed models to control for traditional kidney disease risk factors to analyze the associations between Oxford Classification MEST-C scores (mesangial hypercellularity, M; endocapillary hypercellularity, E; segmental glomerulosclerosis, S; tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, T; crescents, C) and longitudinal changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after renal biopsy. Results The median eGFR was 78.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 at baseline, and then it decreased on average by 1.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year in the entire cohort. In adjusted models, compared with patients without relative lesions, the presence of T > 50% (T2) (−5.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], −9.5 to −2.0 mL/min/1.73m2 per year) was associated with the fastest eGFR decline. S present (S1) (−2.9; 95% CI, −4.6 to −1.1 mL/min/1.73m2 per year) and C > 25% glomeruli (C2) (−3.4; 95% CI, −6.4 to −0.5 mL/min/1.73m2 per year) also demonstrated steeper eGFR declines. However, we found no association between M > 0.5 (M1), E present (E1), T 26%–50% (T1), and C present ≥ 1 glomerulus (C1), and progressive eGFR decline (p > 0.05). Conclusion The Oxford Classification scores, S1, T2, and C2, were independently associated with the longitudinal decreases in renal function in patients with IgAN. These findings suggested therapies targeted at improving early damage to these lesions might be essential to delay renal progression.

Abstract
Screening a natural product library of 850 compounds yield isoliquiritigenin as an effective anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory NO induced by Pam3CSK4, while its activity accompanied by toxicity. Further studies obtained the optimized isoliquiritigenin derivative SMU-B14, which can inhibit Pam3CSK4 triggered toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling with low toxicity and high potency. Preliminary mechanism studies indicated that SMU-B14 worked through TLR2/MyD88, phosphorylation of IKKα/β, leading to the reduce degradation of NF-κB related IKBα and p65 complex, then inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β both in human and murine cell lines. Subsequent polarization experiments showed SMU-B14 significant reversed the polarization of M1 phenotype primary macrophage activated by Pam3CSK4in vitro, and reduced the infiltration of neutrophil and polarization of M1-type macrophage, decreased serum alanine transaminase (ALT), as a result protected liver from being injured in vivo. In summary, we obtained an optimized lead compound SMU-B14 and found it functionally blocked TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to down-regulate the production of inflammatory cytokines resulted significant liver protection property.
