Abstract
Objective: To investigate respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock in pediatric care units (PICU) in China and its influence on clinical outcomes. Methods: The clinical data of children with septic shock in children's PICU from January 2018 to December 2019 in 10 Chinese hospitals were retrospectively collected. They were divided into the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 groups according to the onset of disease, and the characteristics and composition of respiratory virus in the 2 groups were compared. Matching age, malignant underlying diseases, bacteria, fungi and other viruses, a new database was generated using 1∶1 propensity score matching method. The children were divided into the respiratory virus group and non-respiratory virus group according to the presence or absence of respiratory virus infection; their clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment were compared by t-test, rank sum test and Chi-square test. The correlation between respiratory virus infection and the clinical outcomes was analyzed by logistic regression. Results: A total of 1 247 children with septic shock were included in the study, of them 748 were male; the age was 37 (11, 105) months. In the pre-and post-COVID-19 groups, there were 530 and 717 cases of septic shock, respectively; the positive rate of respiratory virus was 14.9% (79 cases) and 9.8% (70 cases); the seasonal distribution of septic shock was 28.9% (153/530) and 25.9% (185/717) in autumn, and 30.3% (161/530) and 28.3% (203/717) in winter, respectively, and the corresponding positive rates of respiratory viruses were 19.6% (30/153) and 15.7% (29/185) in autumn, and 21.1% (34/161) and 15.3% (31/203) in winter, respectively. The positive rates of influenza virus and adenovirus in the post-COVID-19 group were lower than those in the pre-COVID-19 group (2.1% (15/717) vs. 7.5% (40/530), and 0.7% (5/717) vs. 3.2% (17/530), χ2=21.51 and 11.08, respectively; all P<0.05). Rhinovirus virus were higher than those in the pre-Covid-19 group (1.7% (12/717) vs. 0.2% (1/530), χ2=6.51, P=0.011). After propensity score matching, there were 147 cases in both the respiratory virus group and the non-respiratory virus group. Rate of respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress, rate of disseminated coagulation dysfunction, and immunoglobulin usage of the respiratory virus group were higher than those of non-respiratory virus group (77.6% (114/147) vs. 59.2% (87/147), 17.7% (26/147) vs. 4.1% (6/147), 15.6% (25/147) vs. 4.1% (7/147), and 35.4% (52/147) vs. 21.4% (32/147); χ2=11.07, 14.02, 11.06 and 6.67, all P<0.05); and PICU hospitalization of the former was longer than that of the later (7 (3, 16) vs. 3 (1, 7)d, Z=5.01, P<0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of respiratory viral infection was associated with respiratory failure, disseminated coagulation dysfunction, the use of mechanical ventilation, and the use of immunoglobulin and anti-respiratory viral drugs (OR=2.42, 0.22, 0.25, 0.56 and 1.12, all P<0.05). Conclusions: The composition of respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock is different between pre and post-COVID-19. Respiratory viral infection is associated with organ dysfunction in children with septic shock. Decreasing respiratory viral infection through respiratory protection may improve the clinical outcome of these children.

Abstract
Nowadays, many strategies have been developed to design biomaterials to accelerate bacteria-infected wound healing. Here, we presented a new type of multicargo-loaded inverse opal hydrogel microparticle (IOHM) for regulating oxidative stress, antibiosis, and angiogenesis of the bacteria-infected wound. The methacrylate acylated gelatin (GelMA)-based inverse opal hydrogel microparticles (IOHMs) were obtained by using the colloidal crystal microparticles as templates, and fullerol, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were loaded in IOHMs. The developed multicargo-loaded IOHMs displayed good size distribution and biocompatibility, and when they were applied in cell culture, bacteria culture, and animal experiments, they exhibited excellent anti-oxidative stress properties, antibacterial properties, and angiogenesis. These characteristics of the developed multicargo-loaded IOHMs make them ideal for bacteria-infected wound healing.

Abstract
Nearly 300,000 older adults experience a hip fracture every year, the majority of which occur following a fall. Unfortunately, recovery after fall-related trauma such as hip fracture is poor, where older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) spend a particularly long time in hospitals or rehabilitation facilities during the post-operative recuperation period. Because older adults value functional recovery and spending time at home versus facilities as key outcomes after hospitalization, identifying factors that influence days spent at home after hospitalization is imperative. While several individual-level factors have been identified, the characteristics of the treating hospital have recently been identified as contributors. However, few methodological rigorous approaches are available to help overcome potential sources of bias such as hospital-level unmeasured confounders, informative hospital size, and loss to follow-up due to death. This article develops a useful tool equipped with unsupervised learning to simultaneously handle statistical complexities that are often encountered in health services research, especially when using large administrative claims databases. The proposed estimator has a closed form, thus only requiring light computation load in a large-scale study. We further develop its asymptotic properties with stabilized inference assisted by unsupervised clustering. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate superiority of the proposed estimator compared to existing estimators.

Abstract
Neutrophils, accounting for ≈70% of human peripheral leukocytes, are key cells countering bacterial and fungal infections. Neutrophil homeostasis involves a balance between cell maturation, migration, aging, and eventual death. Neutrophils undergo different death pathways depending on their interactions with microbes and external environmental cues. Neutrophil death has significant physiological implications and leads to distinct immunological outcomes. This review discusses the multifarious neutrophil death pathways, including apoptosis, NETosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis, and outlines their effects on immune responses and disease progression. Understanding the multifaceted aspects of neutrophil death, the intersections among signaling pathways and ramifications of immunity will help facilitate the development of novel therapeutic methods.

Abstract
SS 433 is a microquasar, a stellar binary system that launches collimated relativistic jets. We observed SS 433 in gamma rays using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) and found an energy-dependent shift in the apparent position of the gamma-ray emission from the parsec-scale jets. These observations trace the energetic electron population and indicate that inverse Compton scattering is the emission mechanism of the gamma rays. Our modeling of the energy-dependent gamma-ray morphology constrains the location of particle acceleration and requires an abrupt deceleration of the jet flow. We infer the presence of shocks on either side of the binary system, at distances of 25 to 30 parsecs, and that self-collimation of the precessing jets forms the shocks, which then efficiently accelerate electrons.

Abstract
Both NO and GAs are essential for regulating various physiological processes and stress responses in plants. However, the interaction between these two molecules remains unclear. We investigated the distinct response patterns of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and GA synthesis functional deficiency mutants to NO by measuring root length. To investigate underlying mechanisms, we detected bioactive GA content using UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS, assessed the accumulation of ROS by chemical staining Arabidopsis roots. We also conducted RNA-seq analysis and compared results between Col-0 and ga3ox1, with and without SNP (as NO donor) treatment. Phenotypic results revealed that the inhibitory effect of NO on primary roots of Arabidopsis was primarily mediated by GA3-oxidase, rather than GA20-oxidase or GA2-oxidase. The content of GA3 decreased in Col-0 treated with SNP, whereas this decrease was not observed in ga3ox1. The deficiency of GA3-oxidase alleviated the buildup of H2 O2 in roots when treated with SNP. We identified 222 DEGs. GO annotation of these DEGs revealed that all top 20 GO terms were related to stress responses. Moreover, three DEGs were annotated to GA-related processes (DDF1, DDF2, EXPA1), and seven DEGs were associated with root development (RAV1, RGF2, ERF71, ZAT6, MYB77, XT1, and DTX50). In summary, NO inhibits primary root growth partially by repressing GA3-oxidase catalysed GA3 synthesis in Arabidopsis. ROS, Ca2+ , DDF1, DDF2, EXPA1 and seven root development-related genes may be involved in crosstalk between NO and GAs.

Abstract
Eutrophication has spread from shallow lakes in temperature zones to lakes in cold regions as a result of a continuous warm climate and human activities. Little proof for the importance of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) in contributing to phosphorus cycling and algae growth has been generated for aquatic ecosystems, particularly in cold eutrophic lakes. In this study, a comprehensive in situ study was conducted in overlying water, suspended particulate matter, and sediment during and after algal bloom (in July and September, respectively) in Lake Hulun. Multiple methods of 31P NMR, enzymatic hydrolysis, and UV-visible technologies were combined to detect phosphorus occurrence, bioavailability, and molecular structure from a novel angle. The 31P NMR analysis results showed that DNA-P is mainly stored in the dissolved phase and has not been detected in suspended particulate matter or sediment. Enzymatic hydrolysis was used to determine the bioavailability of DOP, which revealed that in July and September, respectively, 85% and 79% of DOP were hydrolyzable. UV-visible analysis represented that the degree of humification and molecular weight of DOP were high during the algal bloom, but these values considerably dropped following the algal bloom. The large amount of DNA-P present in the overlying water is the main reason for the high degree of humification and high molecular weight of the water body. Besides, Lake Hulun's DNA-P remains highly bioavailable during algal blooms, despite its high degree of humification and molecular weight. These findings can serve as a theoretical basis for understanding the migration and transformation of DOP, as well as the persistence of algal blooms in eutrophic lakes located in cold regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fracture is a disabling event experienced disproportionately by older adults with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD). Claims information recorded prior to a hip fracture could provide valuable insights into recovery potential for these patients. Thus, our objective was to identify distinct trajectories of claims-based days at home (DAH) before a hip fracture among older adults with ADRD and evaluate associations with postfracture DAH and 1-year mortality. METHODS We conducted a cohort study of 16 576 Medicare beneficiaries living with ADRD who experienced hip fracture between 2010 and 2017. Growth mixture modeling was used to estimate trajectories of DAH assessed from 180 days prior to fracture until index fracture admission, and their joint associations with postfracture DAH trajectories and 1-year mortality. RESULTS Before a hip fracture, a model with 3 distinct latent DAH trajectories was the best fit. Trajectories were characterized based on their temporal patterns as Consistently High (n = 14 980, 90.3%), Low but Increasing (n = 809, 5.3%), or Low and Decreasing (n = 787, 4.7%). Membership in the Low and Decreasing prefracture DAH trajectory was associated with less favorable postfracture DAH trajectories, and a 65% higher 1-year mortality rate (hazard ratio 1.65, 95% confidence interval 1.45-1.87) as compared to those in the Consistently High trajectory. Similar albeit weaker associations with these outcomes were observed for hip fracture survivors in the Low but Improving prefracture DAH trajectory. CONCLUSIONS Distinct prefracture DAH trajectories among hip fracture survivors with ADRD are strongly linked to postfracture DAH and 1-year mortality, which could guide development of tailored interventions.

Abstract
Non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia is a benign disease without significant somatic genetic changes. Postmenopausal women with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia have a significant risk of progression to endometrial cancer and persistent endometrial hyperplasia. Most cases of atypical endometrial hyperplasia in postmenopausal women are treated surgically, including hysterectomy. At present, the treatment of postmenopausal women with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia is still controversial. Correct and timely diagnosis and treatment are of great significance to prevent progression of the lesion. This study mainly provides an updated synthesis of the literature that investigates the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of postmenopausal women with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia. As of December 2022, a literature search related to postmenopausal non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia was conducted on the PubMed database. For most postmenopausal patients with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia, regular re-examination should be performed during conservative treatment. For postmenopausal patients with endometrial cancer risk factors, persistent non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia or progesterone contraindications, hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy should be the first choice.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Bone marrow sparing intensity modulated radiotherapy (BMS-IMRT) can reduce the incidence of acute hematologic toxicity (HT) for locoregionally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), but the norm has been controversial. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of bone marrow (BM) V40 <25% on decreasing the incidence of acute HT in a prospective clinical trial. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 242 LACC patients were recruited from May 2021 to May 2022, who were evenly randomized into BMS-IMRT group and standard IMRT group according to a computer-generated random number list. All patients received pelvic irradiation with concurrent cisplatin (40 mg/m2 weekly), followed by brachytherapy. For patients in BMS-IMRT group, the outer contour of pelvic bone, lumbar spine and left and right femur heads were additionally delineated as a surrogate for BM, and V40 <25% was prescribed. Blood counts were tested weekly, of which nadirs during external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) were graded to assess acute HT as primary observation index. Second observation index were dosimetric parameters of EBRT plan from the dose volume histograms (DVHs). Binary logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for predictive value analysis. RESULTS Baseline demographic, disease and treatment characteristics were all balanced between BMS-IMRT group and standard IMRT group. BMS-IMRT was associated with a lower incidence of grade ≥2 and grade ≥3 acute HT, leukopenia and neutropenia (72.70% vs 90.90%, P <0.001*; 16.50% vs 65.30%, P <0.001*; 66.10% vs 85.10%, P = 0.001*; 13.20% vs 54.50%, P <0.001*; 37.20% vs 66.10%, P <0.001*; 10.70% vs 43.80%, P <0.001*). Plan target volume (PTV) for all patients satisfied the clinical requirement of V(100%) ≥95%, and conformity and homogeneity were both comparable between 2 groups. BMS also decreased dose delivered to the organs at risk (OARs) including rectum, bladder and left and right femur head. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that BM V40 was an independent risk factor for grade ≥3 acute HT (odds ratio [OR] = 2.734, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.959-3.815, P <0.001*). Cutoff value was 25.036% and area under the curve (AUC) was 0.786. The nomogram was constructed, which was rigorously evaluated and internally cross-validated, showing good predictive performance. CONCLUSION BM V40 <25% can reduce the risks of acute HT for LACC patients receiving CCRT while the dose delivery of target volume and other normal tissues were not compromised. With great practicality and applicability, BM V40 <25% is a promising strategy, making BMS-IMRT widespread especially in the area where application of image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) such as 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET)/CT is not popularized.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the biological role and mechanism underlying the effects of colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). CCAT2 expression levels in clinical LSCC samples and TU-212 cell line were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR. The correlation of CCAT2 expression level with clinical-pathological characteristics of patients and their prognosis was analyzed. The functional role of CCAT2 in human LSCC was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell assay, flow cytometric analysis, and LSCC xenograft experiment in vivo. The expression of potential targeted proteins was detected by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. We found that expression of CCAT2 was significantly elevated in LSCC tissues and TU-212 cells (p<0.05). Survival analysis showed that LSCC patients with high expression of CCAT2 had a shorter 5-year overall survival rate than those with low expression (p<0.05). In addition, CCAT2 silencing with short hairpin RNA significantly decreased the proliferative and invasive potential of TU-212 cells (p<0.05) and promoted their apoptosis. In Nude mice, CCAT2 knockdown suppressed the growth of tumor and decreased its volume and weight in comparison with the controls (p<0.05). In TU-212 cells, CCAT2 silencing with short hairpin RNA significantly down-regulated the expression of β-catenin and CDK8 (p<0.05). Thus, knockdown of CCAT2 suppresses proliferation and invasion of the cells and inhibits Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in LSCC, which indicates novel therapeutic targets and prognostic indicators in patients with LSCC.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogues and nucleotide analogues can not only achieve long-term viral suppression in the treatment of most CHB patients but also have a positive impact on other CHB therapeutic goals and an improved prognosis. A certain difference can be observed in the impact of nucleotide analogues such as TDF and TAF and nucleoside analogues such as ETV on the clinical outcomes of CHB. Studies on the mechanism of action indicate that apart from inhibiting the direct antiviral effects of HBV reverse transcriptase, these two categories of drugs exhibit distinct impacts on immune-related signaling pathways, gene expression, genome stability, and other non-antiviral mechanisms. This article reviews the evidence on the potential non-antiviral mechanism of action of nucleoside analogues and nucleotide analogues and proposes a preliminary explanation for the observation trend of nucleotide analogues having a comparative advantage in clinical outcomes in CHB patients based on the latest research advancement.

Abstract
Microorganisms play a crucial role in the biogeochemical processes of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM), and the properties of DOM also significantly influence changes in microbial community characteristics. This interdependent relationship is vital for the flow of matter and energy within aquatic ecosystems. The presence, growth state, and community characteristics of submerged macrophytes determine the susceptibility of lakes to eutrophication, and restoring a healthy submerged macrophyte community is an effective way to address this issue. However, the transition from eutrophic lakes dominated by planktic algae to medium or low trophic lakes dominated by submerged macrophytes involves significant changes. Changes in aquatic vegetation have greatly affected the source, composition, and bioavailability of DOM. The adsorption and fixation functions of submerged macrophytes determine the migration and storage of DOM and other substances from water to sediment. Submerged macrophytes regulate the characteristics and distribution of microbial communities by controlling the distribution of carbon sources and nutrients in the lake. They further affect the characteristics of the microbial community in the lake environment through their unique epiphytic microorganisms. The unique process of submerged macrophyte recession or restoration can alter the DOM-microbial interaction pattern in lakes through its dual effects on DOM and microbial commu-----nities, ultimately changing the stability of carbon and mineralization pathways in lakes, such as the release of methane and other greenhouse gases. This review provides a fresh perspective on the dynamic changes of DOM and the role of the microbiome in the future of lake ecosystems.

Abstract
Due to significant differences in biotic and abiotic properties of soils compared to those of sediments, the predicted underlying microbe-mediated mechanisms of soil carbon emissions in response to warming may not be applicable for estimating similar emissions from inland water sediments. We addressed this issue by incubating different types of sediments, (including lake, small river, and pond sediments) collected from 36 sites across the Yangtze River basin, under short-term experimental warming to explore the effects of climate warming on sediment carbon emission and the underlying microbe-mediated mechanisms. Our results indicated that under climate warming CO2 emissions were affected more than CH4 emissions, and that pond sediments may yield a greater relative contribution of CO2 to total carbon emissions than lake and river sediments. Warming-induced CO2 and CH4 increases involve different microbe-mediated mechanisms; Warming-induced sediment CO2 emissions were predicted to be directly positively driven by microbial community network modularity, which was significantly negatively affected by the quality and quantity of organic carbon and warming-induced variations in dissolved oxygen, Conversely, warming-induced sediment CH4 emissions were predicted to be directly positively driven by microbial community network complexity, which was significantly negatively affected by warming-induced variations in pH. Our findings suggest that biotic and abiotic drivers for sediment CO2 and CH4 emissions in response to climate warming should be considered separately when predicting sediment organic carbon decomposition dynamics resulting from climate change.

Abstract
Unlike the extensive research on the response of soil microorganisms to high ambient temperature (HTA), the response of sediment microorganisms to HTA remains unclear. Understanding the response of sediment microorganisms to HTA is important to forecast their impacts on ecosystems and climate warming under projected climate change scenarios. Against the background of climate warming and frequent high ambient temperatures in summer, we conducted a laboratory incubation experiment to clarify the unique assembly characteristics of pond sediment bacterial communities at different temperatures (4, 10, 15, 25, 30 and 35 °C). The results showed that the structure and function of the microbial community in pond sediments at 35 °C were different from those under other temperatures; the microbial community structure at 35 °C had the most large modules and an average module size. Temperature and dissolved oxygen influenced the microbial community network modularity. The CO2 emission rates of pond sediments at 35 °C were significantly higher than those at other temperatures. At 35 °C, heterogeneous selection was the most important assembly process. Additionally, warming altered the microbial network structure and ecosystem functioning but not the microbial diversity or community composition, which may be related to horizontal gene transfer. Revealing the rapid response of pond sediment microorganisms to HTA is important for identifying their role in nutrient cycling and assessing the ecological impacts of climate warming and high ambient temperatures on inland water sediments.

Abstract
31P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (31P NMR) is an important analytical tool for identifying and quantifying phosphorus-based compounds in aquatic environments. However, the precipitation method typically used for analyzing phosphorus species via 31P NMR has limited application. To expand the scope of the method and apply it to highly mineralized rivers and lakes worldwide, we present an optimization technique that employs H resin to assist phosphorus (P) enrichment in highly mineralized lake water. To explore how to reduce analysis interference from salt in highly mineralized water and improve the accuracy of P analysis using 31P NMR, we conducted case studies on Lake Hulun and Qing River. This study aimed to increase the efficiency of phosphorus extraction in highly mineralized water samples by using H resin and optimizing key parameters. The optimization procedure included determining the enriched water volume, H resin treatment time, AlCl3 addition amount, and precipitation time. The final recommended optimization enrichment procedure involves treating 10 L of filtered water sample with 150 g of Milli-Q water-washed H resin for 30 s, adjusting the pH of the treated sample to 6-7, adding 1.6 g of AlCl3, stirring the mixture, and allowing the solution to settle for 9 h to collect the flocculated precipitate. The precipitate was then extracted with 30 mL of 1 M NaOH +0.05 M DETA extraction solution at 25 °C for 16 h, and the supernatant was separated and lyophilized. The lyophilized sample was redissolved in 1 mL of 1 M NaOH +0.05 M EDTA. This optimized analytical method using 31P NMR effectively identified phosphorus species in highly mineralized natural waters and can be applied to other highly mineralized lake waters globally.

Abstract
Degradable bone cement has superior osteoconductivity and plasticity and is commonly used to treat defects greater than the critical-size. Magnesium gallate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Mg-MOF), with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, are doped into a composite cement composed of calcium sulfate, calcium citrate, and dicalcium hydrogen phosphate anhydrous (CS/CC/DCPA). The doping of the Mg-MOF slightly influences the microstructure and curing properties of the composite cement, with the mechanical strength of the cement displaying a significant increase from 27 to 32 MPa. Antibacterial tests reveal that the Mg-MOF bone cement has excellent antibacterial characteristics and can effectively inhibit bacterial growth in 4 h (Staphyloccocus aureus survival rate <10%). Herein, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage models are used to investigate the anti-inflammatory characteristics of composite cement. The Mg-MOF bone cement can regulate the inflammatory factors and polarization of macrophages (M1 and M2). In addition, the composite cement promotes cell proliferation and osteo-differentiation of mBMSCs, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase and calcium nodules are increased. The bone related transcription factor and specific proteins, such as runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), bone morphogenetic protein 2, osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), and collagen type 1 (COL1), were highly expressed by the Mg-MOF bone cements. Therefore, Mg-MOF doped CS/CC/DCPA bone cement is multifunctional for bone repair, which will promote bone formation and avoid the infection of wounds, and it is suitable for use with non-load-bearing bone defects.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between balloon volume and Meckel's cave size during percutaneous puncture microballoon compression (PMC) for trigeminal neuralgia and the influence of the compression coefficient (the ratio of balloon volume/Meckel's cave size) on the prognosis. Methods: Seventy-two patients (28 males and 44 females) aged (62±11) years who underwent PMC under general anesthesia for trigeminal neuralgia in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2018 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent preoperative cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure Meckel's cave size, intraoperative balloon volume was recorded, and the compression coefficient was calculated. Follow-up visits were performed preoperatively (T0) and 1 d (T1), 1 month (T2), 3 months (T3), and 6 months (T4) postoperatively, either in the outpatient clinic or by telephone, and the Barrow Neurological Institute pain scale (BNI-P) score, the Barrow Neurological Institute facial numbness (BNI-N) score and the occurrence of complications were recorded and compared at each time point. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to different prognoses: patients in group A (n=48) were with no recurrence of pain and mild facial numbness, patients in group B (n=19) were with no recurrence of pain but severe facial numbness, while those in group C (n=5) had recurrence of pain. The differences in balloon volume, Meckel's cave size, and compression coefficient were compared among the three groups, and the correlation between balloon volume and Meckel's cave size in each group was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results: The effective rate of PMC for trigeminal neuralgia was 93.1% (67/72). At time points from T0 to T4, patients had BNI-P scores [M (Q1, Q3)] of 4.5 (4.0, 5.0), 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), 1.0 (1.0, 1.0) and 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), and BNI-N scores [M (Q1, Q3)] of 1.0 (1.0, 1.0), 4.0 (3.0, 4.0), 3.0 (3.0, 4.0), 3.0 (2.0, 4.0) and 2.0 (2.0, 3.0), respectively. Compared with those at T0, patients had lower BNI-P scores and higher BNI-N scores from T1 to T4 (all P<0.05). In all patients, group A, group B, and group C, the balloon volume was (0.65±0.15), (0.67±0.15), (0.59±0.15) and (0.67±0.17) cm3, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05), while the Meckel's cave size was (0.42±0.12), (0.44±0.11), (0.32±0.07), and (0.57±0.11) cm3, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The balloon volumes and Meckel's cave sizes were all linearly and positively correlated (r=0.852, 0.924, 0.937 and 0.969, all P<0.05). The compression coefficient in group A, B and C was (1.54±0.14), (1.84±0.18) and (1.18±0.10), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). There were no serious intraoperative complications such as death, diplopia, arteriovenous fistula, cerebrospinal fluid leak, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conclusions: Intraoperative balloon volume during PMC for trigeminal neuralgia is linearly and positively correlated with the volume of the patient's Meckel's cave. The compression coefficient varies among patients with different prognoses and the compression coefficient may be a factor affecting the patient's prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Wendler Glottoplasty to elevate vocal pitch in transgender women. Methods: The voice parameters of pre-and 3-month post-surgery of 29 transgender women who underwent Wendler Glottoplasty in department of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery of Beijing Friendship Hospital from January, 2017 to October, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The 29 transgender women ranged in age from 19-47 (27.0±6.3) years old. Subjective evaluation was performed using Transsexual Voice Questionnaire for Male to Female (TVQMtF). Objective parameters included fundamental frequency (F0), highest pitch, lowest pitch, habitual volume, Jitter, Shimmer, maximal phonation time (MPT), noise to harmonic ratio (NHR) and formants frequencies(F1, F2, F3, F4). SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistically analysis. Results: Three months after surgery, the score of TVQMtF was significantly decreased [(89.9±14.7) vs. (50.4±13.6), t=11.49, P<0.001]. The F0 was significantly elevated [(152.7±23.3) Hz vs. (207.7±45.9) Hz, t=-6.03, P<0.001]. Frequencies of F1, F2 and F3 were significantly elevated. No statistical difference was observed in the frequencies of F4. The highest pitch was not significantly altered while the lowest pitch was significantly elevated [(96.8±17.7) Hz vs. (120.0±28.9) Hz, t=-3.71, P=0.001]. Habitual speech volume was significantly increased [(60.0±5.2) dB vs. (63.6±9.6) dB, t=-2.12, P=0.043]. Jitter, Shimmer, NHR and MPT were not obviously altered (P>0.05). Conclusions: Wendler Glottoplasty could notably elevate the vocal pitch, formants frequencies and degree of vocal femininity in transgender women without affecting phonation ability and voice quality. It can be an effective treatment modality for voice feminization.

Abstract
PURPOSE To comprehensively investigate the implications of lymph node dissection (LND) and the prognostic impact of the number of lymph node (LN) metastases on survival in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) using a large-scale study. METHODS Patients who underwent surgical resection for ICC between 2004 and 2018 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries. The Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to compare cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) between different groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) and subgroup analyses were performed to balance potential confounding factors. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify prognostic factors of survival outcomes. Restricted cubic splines fitted in the Cox proportional hazard regression models were also conducted to examine associations between continuous variables and outcomes. RESULTS In all, 1028 patients were enrolled. There were 652 (63.4%) patients undergoing LND, with lymph node metastasis (LNM) confirmed in 212 (32.5%) cases. Patients receiving LND did not show better survival outcomes than those receiving non-LND (NLND). We divided the LND group into two subgroups: patients with LNM (+) and those without LNM (-). Among these three groups, patients with LNM experienced the worst CSS and OS, while NLND patients had similar survival times to LNM (-) patients. Restricted cubic spline analysis indicated that an increased number of LNM was associated with a decreased chance of survival (p < 0.001). Patients who received LND were further categorized as having no nodal metastasis (N0), 1-2 LNM (N1), or ≥3 LNM (N2) according to the number of LNM. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the mortality risk of patients with N0, N1, and N2 disease (median CSS, N0 50.0 vs. N1 22.0 vs. N2 14.0 months; median OS, N0 46.0 vs. N1 21.0 vs. N2 14.0 months, all p < 0.01) increased significantly, except for patients who had <6 LNs harvested. On multivariable survival analysis, a higher nodal stage (N1 vs. N0: CSS, hazard ratio [HR] 2.135, 95% CI 1.636-2.788, p < 0.001; OS, HR 2.100, 95% CI 1.624-2.717, p < 0.001; N2 vs. N0: CSS, HR 4.027, 95% CI 2.791-5.811, p < 0.001; OS, HR 3.678, 95% CI 2.561-5.282, p < 0.001) was an independent prognostic risk factor for survival. CONCLUSIONS Despite the lack of a clear survival benefit of LND in patients with ICC, a significant positive association between the number of LNM and poor outcomes was observed. We still suggest adequate LND by examining at least six LNs to ensure precise staging. On this basis, the recently proposed nodal classification of N0, N1, and N2 stages may also allow better prognostic stratification of ICC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is no standard treatment after resection of colorectal liver metastases and the role of systemic therapy remains controversial. To avoid over- or undertreatment, proper risk stratification with regard to postoperative treatment strategy is highly needed. We recently demonstrated the prognostic relevance of EMT-related (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) genes in stage II/III CRC. As EMT is a major step in CRC progression, we now aimed to analyse the prognostic relevance of EMT-related genes in stage IV CRC using the study cohort of the FIRE-3 trial, an open-label multi-centre randomised controlled phase III trial of patients with metastatic CRC. METHODS Overall and progression free survival were considered as endpoints (n = 350). To investigate the prognostic relevance of EMT-related genes on either endpoint, we compared predictive performance of different models using clinical data only to models using gene data in addition to clinical data, expecting better predictive performance if EMT-related genes have prognostic value. In addition to baseline models (Kaplan Meier (KM), (regularised) Cox), Random Survival Forest (RSF), and gradient boosted trees (GBT) were fit to the data. Repeated, nested five-fold cross-validation was used for hyperparameter optimisation and performance evaluation. Predictive performance was measured by the integrated Brier score (IBS). RESULTS The baseline KM model showed the best performance (OS: 0.250, PFS: 0.251). None of the other models were able to outperform the KM when using clinical data only according to the IBS scores (OS: 0.253 (Cox), 0.256 (RSF), 0.284 (GBT); PFS: 0.254 (Cox), 0.256 (RSF), 0.276 (GBT)). When adding gene data, performance of GBT improved slightly (OS: 0.262 vs. 0.284; PFS: 0.268 vs. 0.276), however, none of the models performed better than the KM baseline. CONCLUSION Overall, the results suggest that the prognostic relevance of EMT-related genes may be stage-dependent and that EMT-related genes have no prognostic relevance in stage IV CRC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemiology and spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Shanxi province. Methods: The data of HFMD in Shanxi province from 2009 to 2020 were collected from notifiable disease management information system of Chinese information system for disease control and prevention and analyzed by descriptive epidemiology, Joinpoint regression, spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatio- temporal scanning analysis. Results: A total of 293 477 HFMD cases were reported in Shanxi province from 2009 to 2020, with an average annual incidence of 67.64/100 000 (293 477/433 867 454), severe disease rate of 5.36/100 000 (2 326/433 867 454), severe disease ratio of 0.79%(2 326/293 477), mortality of 0.015/100 000 (66/433 867 454), and fatality rate of 22.49/100 000 (66/293 477). The reported incidence rate, severe disease rate, mortality rate and fatality rate of HFMD showed decreasing trends. The main high-risk groups were scattered children and kindergarten children aged 0-5. The incidence of HFMD had obvious seasonal variation, with two peaks every year: the main peak was during June-July, the secondary peak was during September-October and the peak period is from April to November. A total of 13 942 laboratory cases were confirmed, with a diagnosis rate of 4.75% (13 942/293 477), including 4 438 (35.11%, 4 438/293 477) Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) positive cases, 4 609 (33.06%, 4 609/293 477) Coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) positive cases, and 4 895 (31.83%, 4 895/293 477) other enterovirus positive cases. There was a spatial positive correlation (Moran's I ranged from 0.12 to 0.58, all P<0.05) and the spatial clustering was obvious. High-risk regions were mainly distributed in Taiyuan in central Shanxi province, Linfen and Yuncheng in southern Shanxi province, and Changzhi in southeastern Shanxi province. Spatial-temporal scanning analysis revealed 1 the most likely cluster and 8 secondary likely clusters, of which the most likely cluster (RR=2.65, LLR=22 387.42, P<0.001) located in Taiyuan and Jinzhong city, Shanxi province, including 12 counties (districts), and accumulated from April 1, 2009 to November 30, 2018. Conclusions: There was obvious spatial-temporal clustering of HFMD in Shanxi province, and the epidemic situation was in decline. The key areas were the districts in urban areas and the counties adjacent to it. Meanwhile, the monitoring and classification of other enterovirus types of HFMD should be strengthened.

Abstract
Due to the differences in biotic and abiotic factors between soil and sediments, the predicted linkages between biotic and abiotic factors and soil carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes under warming may not be suitable for sediments. Additionally, the combination of biotic and abiotic factors which determines sediment temperature-dependent CO2 and CH4 fluxes remains unresolved. To address this issue, different types of sediments (including lake, small river and pond sediments) collected from 30 sites across the Yangtze River Basin were incubated under short-term experimental warming. During the incubating phase, the sediment temperature-dependent CO2 and CH4 fluxes as well as the accompanying biotic factors (organic carbon and microbial community) and abiotic factors (pH and dissolved oxygen (DO)) were determined and analyzed synthetically. Our results indicated that sediment CO2 fluxes were more sensitive than CH4 fluxes to warming, which might lead to a relatively large CO2 contribution to total greenhouse gas emissions in a warming climate. Additionally, temperature-dependent CO2 fluxes in pond sediments were more sensitive than those in lake sediments. Random forest analysis indicated that DO greatly affected the variation in the sediment temperature-dependent CO2 fluxes, whereas Methanococcales primarily predicted the CH4 fluxes under warming. DO also highly affected the variation in the temperature sensitivity of CH4 fluxes, whereas pH mostly predicted the temperature sensitivity of CO2 fluxes. Our findings suggest that biotic and abiotic factors, especially DO, pH and the composition of methanogens, coregulate CO2 and CH4 emissions in response to climate warming. Therefore, biotic and abiotic factors should be considered in the models for predication and investigation of sediment organic carbon dynamics under climate change.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy, safety, and influencing factors among children with hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who received short-term therapy with pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFNα-2a) or continuous therapy with entecavir (ETV). Methods: Quantitative data were compared using analysis of variance to compare the differences between groups. Enumeration data were compared by χ2 test (or Fisher's exact test). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: Peg-IFNα-2a, ETV, and untreated group had HBsAg clearance rates of 46.2%, 5.3%, and 0 after 52 weeks of therapy, respectively. HBsAg clearance in the patients' group with Peg-IFNα-2a and ETV was all accompanied by anti-HBS positive conversion, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=13.616, P=0.001). Peg-IFNα-2a group was followed-up for 104 weeks. Peg-IFNα-2a, ETV, and the untreated group had HBsAg clearance rates of 46.2%, 10.5%, and 0%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=11.056, P=0.004). Only one of the two children with HBsAg clearance in the ETV group had achieved anti-HBs antibodies, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=13.616, P=0.001). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HBsAg clearance was associated with age and antiviral therapy. During treatment, adverse events such as fever (n=4, 30.8%), rash (n=4, 30.8%), fatigue (n=1, 7.7%), leukopenia (n=7, 53.8%), arthritis (n=1, 7.7%), and alopecia (n=3, 23.1%) were observed in the Peg-IFNα-2a group, while none were observed in the ETV group. Conclusion: Peg-IFNα-2a antiviral therapy produced higher HBsAg clearance than ETV in five-year-old and younger children with HBeAg-positive CHB, while ETV had fewer adverse events and was safer than Peg-IFNα-2a.

Abstract
In this work, based on excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis (EEM-FARAFAC) and two-dimensional correlation analysis of synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and combination of two spectra (2D-SF-COS, 2D-FTIR-COS, and Hetero-2D-COS), the characteristics and metal-binding behaviors of DOM in Dongping Lake were explored for molecular weight (MW), fluorescence components, and functional groups. The results showed that the entire lake was governed by protein-like materials with low MW(< 1 kDa). The complexation occurred preferentially in protein-like materials for bulk DOM after adding copper (Cu2+) and lead (Pb2+), which were changed by fractionation for MW. The active points were aliphatic C-OH for DOM-Cu and phenol -OH or polysaccharide for DOM-Pb from 2D-FTIR-COS. The protein-like components possessed higher LogK than humic-like component during binding to Cu2+ or Pb2+. Moreover, the complexing affinities of DOM-Cu (LogKCu: 3.26 ± 0.87-4.04 ± 0.49) were higher than those of DOM-Pb (LogKPb: 2.66 ± 0.52-3.78 ± 0.36). On a spatial scale, high LogKCu and LogKPb were found in the center and entrance of the lake, respectively. Humic-like component C2 in the LMW fraction possessed a stronger binding capacity with Cu2+. This study affords new insights into the migration and conversion of HMs in lakes.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical features, management and outcome of superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) associated with mediastinal malignancy in children. Methods: Clinical data of 42 children of SVSC associated with mediastinal malignancy in Shanghai Children's Medical Center from January 2015 to December 2021 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The clinical manifestations, pathological diagnosis, disease diagnosis process, and prognosis were summarized. Results: Among 42 children of SVCS associated with mediastinal malignancy, there were 31 males and 11 females. The age at diagnosis was 8.5 (1.9, 14.9) years. Cough and wheezing (33 cases, 79%), orthopnea (19 cases, 45%) and facial edema (18 cases, 43%) occurred most commonly. T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) was the most frequent pathological diagnosis (25 cases, 60%), followed by T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) (7 cases, 17%), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (4 cases, 10%) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (2 cases, 5%), peripheral T-lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, Ewing's sarcoma and germ cell tumor (1 case each). Pathological diagnosis was confirmed by bone marrow aspiration or thoracentesis in 14 cases, peripheral lymph node biopsy in 6 cases, and mediastinal biopsy in 22 cases. Twenty-seven cases (64%) had local anesthesia. Respiratory complications due to mediastinal mass developed in 3 of 15 cases who received general anesthesia. Of the 42 cases, 27 cases had sustained remission, 1 case survived with second-line therapy after recurrence, and 14 cases died (2 cases died of perioperative complications and 12 cases died of recurrence or progression of primary disease). The follow-up time was 36.7 (1.2, 76.1) months for 27 cases in continuous complete remission. The 3-year overall survival (OS) and events free survival (EFS) rates of 42 children were 59% (95%CI 44%-79%) and 58% (95%CI 44%-77%) respectively. Conclusions: SVCS associated with mediastinal malignancy in children is a life-threatening tumor emergency with high mortality. The most common primary disease is T-LBL. The most common clinical symptoms and signs are cough, wheezing, orthopnea and facial edema. Clinical management should be based on the premise of stable critical condition and confirm the pathological diagnosis through minimal invasive operation.

Abstract
Objective: A method to determine chlorobenzene metabolite-p-chlorophenol in urine by solid phase extraction-gas chromatography was established. Methods: In May 2021, the urine sample was hydrolyzed at 100 ℃ for 1.5 h with 2 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid. After cooling and filtering, the sample was enriched and purified by Oasis(®)MAX 6cc SPE column. Drip washing with 0.01 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution and elution with acetonitrile, the eluent was volumized to 5 ml with acetonitrile and determined by gas chromatography, and quantify by standard curve method. Results: Calibration curve of the method was linear within the range of 1.61-80.30 μg/ml and showed good linearity with r=0.9997, the regression equation was y=1.51602x-0.10234. The determination limit was 0.17 μg/ml, and the limit of quantitation was 0.55 μg/ml. Recovery rates were between 89.3%-104.4%, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of intra-day measurements ranged from 4.3% to 6.7%, and the RSD of inter-day measurements ranged from 4.5% to 6.7%. Conclusion: This method could optimize sample pretreatment, and eliminate the interference of impurities, which is sensitive, efficient and accurate for the determination of chlorobenzene metabolite-p-chlorophenol in urine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the non-inferiority of nedaplatin-based and cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy in cervical cancer patients. DESIGN Patients aged 28-82 years with pathologically diagnosed cervical cancer (stage IB-IVA) were randomly chosen for the study. Patients in both the cisplatin and nedaplatin groups received radiotherapy and weekly intravenous nedaplatin 30 mg/m2 or cisplatin 40 mg/m2 concurrently. RESULTS One hundred and sixty patients who received treatment between 10 May 2018 and 31 August 2020 were included. The 3-year overall survival in the nedaplatin group (median 30.5 months) was not significantly different from that in the cisplatin group (28.5 months; hazard ratio 0.131, 95% confidence interval 0.016-1.068; P = 0.058). No significant differences in hematological toxicity were observed between the two groups. Vomiting (40 versus 61), nausea (44 versus 67), and anorexia (52 versus 71) were more common in the cisplatin group whereas effects on liver function, including total bilirubin (7 versus 3), alanine aminotransferase (7 versus 2), and aspartate aminotransferase (6 versus 2), were more common in the nedaplatin group. Four patients in the cisplatin group had grade I creatinine elevation, whereas none in the nedaplatin group had abnormal creatinine levels. Two patients in the nedaplatin group discontinued concurrent chemotherapy because of infusion, and one patient in the cisplatin group discontinued treatment because of infusion-induced dizziness. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that nedaplatin has a milder gastrointestinal reaction but a more significant effect on liver function than cisplatin. In patients with cervical cancer, nedaplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy could serve as an alternative treatment to cisplatin.

Abstract
Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects around 10% of the French population annually and significantly impacts patient functioning. Efficacy of vortioxetine was demonstrated in randomised controlled trials, data on its real-world performance is needed. Objectives To describe the effectiveness and safety of vortioxetine in real-world setting from patients enrolled from France in the global RELIEVE study. Methods RELIEVE was a prospective, multi-national, observational study of outpatients initiating vortioxetine treatment for MDD at physician’s discretion. Data were collected at routine clinical visits. Here we present the outcomes of treatment of patients in France. The primary outcome was functioning measured by SDS. Secondary outcomes included depressive symptoms measured by PHQ-9, cognitive symptoms measured by PDQ-5 and DSST. Changes from baseline to month 6 were estimated with a linear mixed model of repeated measures approach. Results A total of 184 patients (mean age, 50.2 years, 65% female, 67.9% of patients had at least one comorbidity) were enrolled from France and included in the analysis. Mean(SD) SDS total score, PHQ-9, PDQ-5 scores at baseline were 21.1(5.4), 17.5(4.7) and 11.7(4.4), the scores(SE) decreased by 10.9(0.59), 9.3(0.48) and 6.1(0.37) from baseline to month 6. Mean(SD) DSST improved from 41.6(15.2) at baseline to 49.1(19.0) at month 6. Safety and tolerability profile of vortioxetine was in line with previous studies. Conclusions Sustained improvements in overall functioning, depressive symptoms, cognitive function were observed in patients treated with vortioxetine in a real-world setting, which provided further evidence of effectiveness and safety of vortioxetine in a broad MDD population in France.

Goal attainment scaling (GAS) is a method to assess the patient experience of whether a treatment is successful and capture outcomes across a diverse range of goal areas. However, this approach has not yet been used in assessing the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in Japan. GAS was first developed by Kiresuk and Sherman in the 1968, it is increasingly recognised as a sensitive method for recording patient-centred outcomes throughout the course of treatment.
Objectives
To demonstrate the effectiveness of vortioxetine on patient’s goal achievement and depressive symptoms, emotional, cognitive, overall function and quality of life.
Methods
VGOAL-J is a prospective, multi-center, observational cohort study of outpatients initiating vortioxetine treatment for MDD in Japan. Patients with a diagnosis of MDD according to DSM-5 who are 18 to 65 years will be enrolled from 20 sites in Japan and followed for 24 weeks. A total number of 120 patients is planned for enrolment. Primary outcome measures are GAS-D, WPAI, secondary outcome measures include Montgomery – Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS), Perceived Deficits Questionnaire-Depression 5-item (PDQ-D-5), Oxford Depression Questionnaire (ODQ), EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D). Safety will be also assessed with Adverse Events collected during the study.
Results
The results will be disseminated in late 2022 and provide new insights on GAS-D as an effective strategy to assess MDD treatment in Japan.
Conclusions
We expect to observe patients treated with vortioxetine achieving their treatment goals as assessed by GAS-D and improvements on patient- and clinician-reported measures in real-world settings.

Abstract
The properties and metal-binding abilities of dissolved organic matter (DOM) rely on its molecular weight (MW) structure. In this study, the spatial differences of DOM in compositions, MW structures, and binding mechanisms with copper (Cu2+) in Dongping Lake were investigated by applying excitation-emission matrix combining parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC), synchronous fluorescence (SF) spectra, two-dimensional correlation spectra (2D-COS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. The EDOM for the entrance of the Dawen River and PDOM for the macrophyte-dominated region were divided from DOM of Dongping Lake based on hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) and were size-fractioned into MW < 500 kDa and <100 kDa fractions. According to EEM-PARAFAC, Dongping Lake was dominated by tryptophan-like substances with MW < 500 kDa. The concentration of PDOM was higher than that of EDOM (p < 0.05). 2D-COS showed that protein-like components preceded humic-like components binding to Cu2+ regardless of sample type (215 nm > 285 nm > 310-360 nm). The Cu2+ binding capacity of DOM exhibited specific differences in space, components, and molecular weights. The humic-like component 1 (C1) and tryptophan-like component 4 (C4) of PDOM showed stronger binding abilities than those of EDOM. Endogenous tryptophan-like component 4 (C4) had a higher binding affinity for Cu2+ than humic-like components (logKa: C4 > C1 > C2) in PDOM irrespective of MW. Humic-like components with MW < 500 kDa displayed higher binding potentials for Cu2+. FTIR spectra showed that the main participants of DOM-Cu complexation included aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic groups, amide Ⅰ bands, and carboxyl functional groups. This study provides spatial-scale insights into the molecular weight structure of DOM in influencing the behavior, fate, and bioavailability of heavy metals in lakes.

Abstract
α-Fe2O3 has high potential energy storage capacity and can serve as a green and low-cost anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, α-Fe2O3 suffers large volume expansion and pulverization. Based on DFT calculations, TiO2 can effectively maintain the integrity of the crystal structure during the discharge/charge process. Well-defined cubic α-Fe2O3 is coated with a TiO2 layer using the hydrothermal method with the assistance of oxalic acid surface treatment, and then α-Fe2O3@TiO2 with tunable buffer chambers is obtained by altering the hydrochloric acid etching time. With the joint efforts of the buffer chamber and the robust structure of the TiO2 layer, α-Fe2O3@TiO2 alleviates the expansion of α-Fe2O3 during the discharge/charge process. The optimized sample (FT-1h) achieves good cycling performance. The reversible specific capacity remains at 893.7 mA h g-1, and the Coulombic efficiency still reaches up to 98.47% after 150 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g−1. Furthermore, the reversible specific capacity can return to 555.5 mA h g−1 at 100 mA g−1 after cycling at a high current density. Hence, the buffer chamber and the robust TiO2 layer can effectively improve the cycling stability and rate performance of α-Fe2O3.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the safety and effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for oligometastases from colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm phase Ⅱ trial. Patients who had histologically proven CRC, 1 to 5 detectable liver or lung metastatic lesions with maximum diameter of any metastases ≤5 cm were eligible. SBRT was delivered to all lesions. The primary endpoint was 3-year local control (LC). The secondary endpoints were treatment-related acute toxicities of grade 3 and above, 1-year and 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test. Results: Petients from 2016 to 2019 who were treated in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. Forty-eight patients with 60 lesions were enrolled, including 37 liver lesions and 23 lung lesions. Forty-six patients had 1 or 2 lesions, with median diameter of 1.3 cm, the median biologically effective dose (BED(10)) was 100.0 Gy. The median follow-up was 19.5 months for all lesions. Twenty-five lesions developed local failure, the median local progression free survival was 15 months. The 1-year LC, OS and PFS was 70.2% (95% CI, 63.7%~76.7%), 89.0% (95% CI, 84.3%~93.7%) and 40.4% (95%CI, 33.0%~47.8%). The univariate analysis revealed that planning target volume (PTV) and total dose were independent prognostic factors of LC (P<0.05). For liver and lung lesions, the 1-year LC, OS and PFS was 58.7% and 89.4% (P=0.015), 89.3% and 86.5% (P=0.732), 30.5% and 65.6% (P=0.024), respectively. No patients developed acute toxicity of grade 3 and above. Conclusion: SBRT is safe and effective treatment method for oligometastases from CRC under precise respiratory motion management and robust quality assurance.

Abstract
Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare mesenchymal tumors. The migration of immune cells into these tumors and the prognostic impact of tumor-specific factors determining their interaction with these tumors remain poorly understood. The current risk stratification system is insufficient to provide a precise survival prediction and treatment response. Thus, valid prognostic models are needed to guide treatment. This study analyzed the gene expression and outcome of 980 sarcoma patients from seven public datasets. The abundance of immune cells and the response to immunotherapy was calculated. Immune-related genes (IRGs) were screened through a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression was used to establish a powerful IRG signature predicting prognosis. The identified IRG signature incorporated 14 genes and identified high-risk patients in sarcoma cohorts. The 14-IRG signature was identified as an independent risk factor for overall and disease-free survival. Moreover, the IRG signature acted as a potential indicator for immunotherapy. The nomogram based on the risk score was built to provide a more accurate survival prediction. The decision tree with IRG risk score discriminated risk subgroups powerfully. This proposed IRG signature is a robust biomarker to predict outcomes and treatment responses in sarcoma patients.

Abstract
Biodegradation is a key factor determining the properties and metal binding behaviour of dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, the contributions of biodegradation to DOM properties and metal binding behaviour in Dongping Lake were explored by using synchronous fluorescence (SF) spectroscopy, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) excitation-emission matrix and parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC). According to the ratio of the fluorescence intensity of different materials to the entire fluorescence intensity (%Fmax), protein-like substances were the main substances of DOM in this lake. The reduction of protein-like substances and the enhancement of humification could be found in the whole lake under the influence of biodegradation. 3 areas (Area A, Area B and Area C) were obtained by principal component analysis (PCA), however, PCA results suggested that DOM properties and sources had some differences in the 3 areas, and DOM bioavailability in Area C was stronger than that in the other 2 areas. With copper (Cu2+) and lead (Pb2+) addition, different substances exhibited various affinities to different metal types. The locations of crosspeaks in asynchronous maps illustrated that protein-like substances were more affiliative with Cu2+, while humic-like substances were bound to Pb2+ earlier. Biodegradation had a conspicuous impact the metal binding ability of DOM in Dongping Lake. The effective quenching constants (LogK) of protein-like substances (protein-like component 2: LogKCu = 3.85 ± 0.23, LogKPb = 3.32 ± 0.23) were higher than those of humic-like substances (humic-like component 3: LogKCu = 3.15 ± 0.02, LogKPb = 2.93 ± 0.17) for both Cu2+ and Pb2+ before biodegradation. When biodegradation was finished, binding ability of humic-like substances was enhanced from 3.15 ± 0.02 to 3.41 ± 0.10 for DOM-Cu and 2.93 ± 0.17 to 3.79 ± 0.15 for DOM-Pb. On a spatial scale, metal binding ability of DOM in Dongping Lake also changed due to the influence of biodegradation. For both DOM-Cu and DOM-Pb, binding ability in south of Dongping Lake was stronger than that in other areas with the end of biodegradation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is higher in females than in males, but it remains unclear whether gender is associated with the aggressiveness of this disease. We aimed to clarify the influence of gender on the risk of developing lymph node metastasis (LNM) and on the prognosis of PTC patients. Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Setting. Academic tertiary care center. METHODS Clinical data of PTC patients who were admitted to the Department of Endocrine and Breast Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, between January 2013 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The differences in clinical features and outcomes between female and male patients were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the impact of gender on LNM. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS A total of consecutive 2536 patients were enrolled in this study. Males accounted for 25.2% (639 cases) of all patients. Central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) and lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) rates were 52.5% (1346/2536) and 22.0% (558/2536), respectively. Male presented with higher LNM rates than female patients (65.7% vs. 51.2%; P < 0.001). Male gender was independently associated with LNM (OR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.59-2.35; P < 0.001). After full adjustment, male gender still remained significantly associated with CLNM in all subgroups; however, subgroup analyses indicated no significant relationship between gender and LLNM. In addition, after a median follow-up period of 30 months, no significant difference was found in RFS between female and male patients (P=0.15). CONCLUSIONS This observational cohort study revealed that male gender was significantly associated with CLNM; whereas, LLNM was not different between female and male PTC patients in southwestern China. Moreover, currently, there is insufficient evidence to justify that male gender is an independent prognostic factor for recurrence.

Urinary complement proteins and risk of end-stage renal disease: quantitative urinary proteomics in patients with type 2 diabetes and biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy. J Endocrinol Invest 2021; 44:2709-2723.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between urinary complement proteins and renal outcome in biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS Untargeted proteomic and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional analyses and targeted proteomic analysis using parallel reaction-monitoring (PRM)-mass spectrometry was performed to determine the abundance of urinary complement proteins in healthy controls, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and patients with T2DM and biopsy-proven DN. The abundance of each urinary complement protein was individually included in Cox proportional hazards models for predicting progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). RESULTS Untargeted proteomic and functional analysis using the KEGG showed that differentially expressed urinary proteins were primarily associated with the complement and coagulation cascades. Subsequent urinary complement proteins quantification using PRM showed that urinary abundances of C3, C9, and complement factor H (CFAH) correlated negatively with annual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, while urinary abundances of C5, decay-accelerating factor (DAF), and CD59 correlated positively with annual rate of eGFR decline. Furthermore, higher urinary abundance of CFAH and lower urinary abundance of DAF were independently associated with greater risk of progression to ESRD. Urinary abundance of CFAH and DAF had a larger area under the curve (AUC) than that of eGFR, proteinuria, or any pathological parameter. Moreover, the model that included CFAH or DAF had a larger AUC than that with only clinical or pathological parameters. CONCLUSION Urinary abundance of complement proteins was significantly associated with ESRD in patients with T2DM and biopsy-proven DN, indicating that therapeutically targeting the complement pathway may alleviate progression of DN.

Abstract
Bohai Black (BHB) cattle, one of eight representative indigenous breeds in China, is well known for its high resistance to disease, endurance under unfavorable feeding conditions and excellent meat quality. Over recent, the number of BHB cattle has decreased sharply. To investigate the population structure and genetic diversity of this breed, the whole-genome data of 35 individuals from a conservation farm were obtained using the Illumina 150 bp paired-end platform. The results of the genetic structure and diversity analyses showed that BHB cattle had mixed Bos taurus and Bos indicus ancestry, close phylogenic relationships with Jiaxian Red and Luxi cattle and abundant genetic diversity. The bulls tested here could be divided into six families. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the genetic structure and diversity of the BHB cattle, and lays the theoretical basis for conservation and utilization of the valuable germplasm resource.
