Abstract
Bacterial infections are the primary causes of infectious diseases in humans. In recent years, the abuse of antibiotics has led to the widespread enhancement of bacterial resistance. Concerns have been raised about the identification of a common treatment platform for bacterial infections. In this study, a composite nanomaterial was used for near-infrared II (NIR-II) photothermal antibacterial treatment. Red blood cell membrane was peeled and coated onto the surface of the Au/polydopamine nanoparticle-containing aptamer. The composite nanomaterials based on Au/polydopamine exhibit highest photothermal conversion capability. Moreover, these assembled nanoparticles can quickly enter the body's circular system with a specific capability to recognise bacteria. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the composites could kill bacteria from infected blood while significantly reducing the level of bacteria in various organs. Such assemblies offer a paradigm for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by the side effects of antibiotics.

Abstract
A neutral heteropolysaccharide (PNANb) was isolated with alkali (0.1 M NaOH) from mycelia of Phellinus nigricans, and the structure, immunostimulating activity and some of the underlying molecular mechanisms of action of PNANb were explored in the current study. PNANb (14.95 kDa) predominantly consisted of Gal, Glc, and Man with minor Fuc. GC-MS and NMR analyses indicated that the backbone of PNANb was mainly composed of 6-α-Galp, 2,6-α-Galp with minor 3,6-β-Glcp, which was substituted with complex side chains at C-2 of 2,6-α-Galp and C-3 of 3,6-β-Glcp. Notably, PNANb (50 or 100 mg/kg) possessed immunoprotective effects in cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppressed C57BL/6 mice, which was supported by evidence including the enhancement of spleen and thymus indices, levels of serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM) and cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10), and macrophage activity. However, the immunostimulation effects of PNANb were decreased when macrophages were depleted, underscoring the essential role of macrophages in the beneficial effects of PNANb in Cy-induced immunosuppressed mice. Further investigations in vitro indicated that PNANb activated macrophages through MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathways mediated by Toll-like receptor 4. Therefore, PNANb can serve as a prospective immunopotentiator in immunosuppression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of resistance training (RT) with or without β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate (HMB) intervention program for ICU patients. DESIGN Open-label, parallel group, mixed method, randomized controlled trial. SETTINGS A tertiary general hospital in Fuzhou, China. METHODS Participants were randomly allocated to one of four groups. The RT group received supervised multilevel resistance training (RT) using elastic bands, administered by trained ICU nurses. The HMB group received an additional daily dose of 3.0 g HMB. The combination group underwent both interventions concurrently, while the control group received standard care. These interventions were implemented throughout the entire hospitalization period. Primary outcomes included feasibility indicators such as recruitment rate, enrollment rate, retention rate, and compliance rate. Secondary outcomes covered adverse events, acceptability (evaluated through questionnaires and qualitative interviews), and physical function. Quantitative analysis utilized a generalized estimation equation model, while qualitative analysis employed directed content analysis. RESULTS All feasibility indicators met predetermined criteria. Forty-eight patients were randomly assigned across four arms, achieving a 96% enrollment rate. Most patients adhered to the intervention until discharge, resulting in a 97.9% retention rate. Compliance rates for both RT and HMB interventions approached or exceeded 85%. No adverse events were reported. The intervention achieved 100% acceptability, with a prevailing expression of positive experiences and perception of appropriateness. The RT intervention shows potential improvement in physical function, while HMB does not. CONCLUSIONS Implementing nurse-led resistance training with elastic bands with or without HMB proved to be feasible and safe for ICU patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE A large-scale, multicenter clinical trials are imperative to definitively assess the impact of this intervention on functional outcomes in this population.

Abstract
The sulfite (S(IV))-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) has emerged as an appealing alternative to the traditional persulfate-based AOP for the elimination of organic contaminants from diverse water matrices. In this work, a silica reinforced ZIF-67(Co) catalyst (CZS) is fabricated, characterized and tested in the activation of S(IV) for the sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The prepared CZS demonstrates superior stability and catalytic ability for the degradation of SMX compared to ZIF-67(Co) across a broad pH range. Unlike the conventional radical-dominated oxidation systems, the CZS/S(IV) system for SMX degradation operates through a non-radical mechanism, featuring high-valent Co(IV) and singlet oxygen (1O2) as the predominated reactive species. The hydroxylated Co species exposed on the CZS surface is identified as the pivotal active site, realizing the S(IV) activation through a complexation-electron transfer process, resulting in the production of various reactive intermediates. Co(II) undergoes the conversion to Co(IV) by generated HSO5-, and 1O2 predominantly originates from the intermediate SO4•-. Profiting from the highly selective oxidation capacities of Co(IV) and 1O2, the established oxidative system demonstrates a remarkable interference resistance and exhibits an exceptional decontamination performance under real-world water conditions. In short, this work provides a sustainable S(IV)-based oxidation strategy for environmental remediation via non-radical mechanism.

Abstract
AIM To develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics model for the preoperative identification of mesenchymal transition (MT) subtype in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and eighty-nine patients with histopathologically confirmed HGSOC were enrolled retrospectively. Among the included patients, 55 patients were determined as the MT subtype and the remaining 134 were non-MT subtype. After extracting a total of 204 features from T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and contrast-enhanced (CE)-T1WI images, the Mann-Whitney U-test, Spearman correlation test, and Boruta algorithm were adopted to select the optimal feature set. Three classifiers, including logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF), were trained to develop radiomics models. The performance of established models was evaluated from three aspects: discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. RESULTS Seven radiomics features relevant to MT subtypes were selected to build the radiomics models. The model based on the RF algorithm showed the best performance in predicting MT subtype, with areas under the curves (AUCs) of 0.866 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.797-0.936) and 0.852 (95 % CI: 0.736-0.967) in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. The calibration curves, supported with Brier scores, indicated very good consistency between observation and prediction. Decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the RF-based model could provide more net benefit, which suggested favorable utility in clinical application. CONCLUSION The RF-based radiomics model provided accurate identification of MT from the non-MT subtype and may help facilitate personalised management of HGSOC.

Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive ailment resulting from glucocerebrosidase deficiency caused by a mutation in the GBA1 gene, leading to multi-organ problems in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. In China, GD is extremely uncommon and has a lower incidence rate than worldwide. In this study, we report the case of an adult male with an enlarged spleen for 13 years who presented with abdominal distension, severe loss of appetite and weight, reduction of the three-line due to hypersplenism, frequent nosebleeds, and bloody stools. Regrettably, the unexpected discovery of splenic pathology suggestive of splenic Gaucher disease was only made after a splenectomy due to a lack of knowledge about rare disorders. Our patient's delayed diagnosis may have been due to the department where he was originally treated, but it highlights the need for multidisciplinary consultation in splenomegaly of unknown etiology. We then investigated the patient's clinical phenotypes and gene mutation features using genetically phenotypical analysis. The analysis of the GBA1 gene sequence indicated that the patient carried a compound heterozygous mutation consisting of two potentially disease-causing mutations: c.907C > A (p. Leu303Ile) and c.1448 T > C (p. Leu483Pro). While previous research has linked the p. Leu483Pro mutation site to neurologic GD phenotypes (GD2 and GD3), the patients in this investigation were identified as having non-neuronopathic GD1. The other mutation, p. Leu303Ile, is a new GD-related mutation not indexed in PubMed that enriches the GBA1 gene mutation spectrum. Biosignature analysis has shown that both mutations alter the protein's three-dimensional structure, which may be a pathogenic mechanism for GD1 in this patient.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) poses a significant challenge with limited treatment options and a high mortality rate of approximately 45 %. Qingkailing Granule (QKL), derived from the Angong Niuhuang Pill, shows promise in addressing pulmonary conditions. Using a comprehensive approach, combining network pharmacology analysis with experimental validation, this study explores the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of QKL against PF for the first time. In vivo, QKL reduced collagen deposition and suppressed proinflammatory cytokines in a bleomycin-induced PF mouse model. In vitro studies demonstrated QKL's efficacy in protecting cells from bleomycin-induced injury and reducing collagen accumulation and cell migration in TGF-β1-induced pulmonary fibrosis cell models. Network pharmacology analysis revealed potential mechanisms, confirmed by western blotting, involving the modulation of PI3K/AKT and SRC/STAT3 signaling pathways. Molecular docking simulations highlighted interactions between QKL's active compounds and key proteins, showing inhibitory effects on epithelial damage and fibrosis. Collectively, these findings underscore the therapeutic potential of QKL in alleviating pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis through the downregulation of PI3K/AKT and SRC/STAT3 signaling pathways, with a pivotal role attributed to its active compounds.

Abstract
Plasma microRNA (miR)-9 has been identified as a promising diagnostic biomarker for traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study aims to investigate the possible role and mechanisms of miR-9a-5p affecting TBI. Microarray-based gene expression profiling of TBI was used for screening differentially expressed miRNAs and genes. TBI rat models were established. miR-9a-5p, ELAVL1 and VEGF expression in the brain tissue of TBI rats was detected. The relationship among miR-9a-5p, ELAVL1 and VEGF was tested. TBI modeled rats were injected with miR-9a-5p-, ELAVL1 or VEGF-related sequences to identify their effects on TBI. miR-9a-5p was poorly expressed in the brain tissue of rats with TBI. ELAVL1 was a downstream target gene of miR-9a-5p, which could negatively regulate its expression. Enforced miR-9a-5p expression prevented brain tissue damage in TBI rats by targeting ELAVL1. Meanwhile, ELAVL1 could increase the expression of VEGF, which was highly expressed in the brain tissue of rats with TBI. In addition, ectopically expressed miR-9a-5p alleviated brain tissue damage in TBI rats by downregulating the ELAVL1/VEGF axis. Overall, miR-9a-5p can potentially reduce brain tissue damage in TBI rats by targeting ELAVL1 and down-regulating VEGF expression.

Abstract
Glucose is required for generating heat during cold-induced nonshivering thermogenesis in adipose tissue, but the regulatory mechanism is largely unknown. CREBZF has emerged as a critical mechanism for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated the roles of CREBZF in the control of thermogenesis and energy metabolism. Glucose induces CREBZF in human white adipose tissue (WAT) and inguinal WAT (iWAT) in mice. Lys208 acetylation modulated by transacetylase CREB-binding protein/p300 and deacetylase HDAC3 is required for glucose-induced reduction of proteasomal degradation and augmentation of protein stability of CREBZF. Glucose induces rectal temperature and thermogenesis in white adipose of control mice, which is further potentiated in adipose-specific CREBZF knockout (CREBZF FKO) mice. During cold exposure, CREBZF FKO mice display enhanced thermogenic gene expression, browning of iWAT, and adaptive thermogenesis. CREBZF associates with PGC-1α to repress thermogenic gene expression. Expression levels of CREBZF are negatively correlated with UCP1 in human adipose tissues and increased in WAT of obese ob/ob mice, which may underscore the potential role of CREBZF in the development of compromised thermogenic capability under hyperglycemic conditions. Our results reveal an important mechanism of glucose sensing and thermogenic inactivation through reversible acetylation.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) enterotoxins have aroused great concern to food safety owing to its increased risk of food poisoning. The current research aimed to investigate the anti-virulence mechanisms of phloretin against S. aureus in terms of toxin activity and gene expression. The results indicated that phloretin could effectively inhibit the production of hemolysins and enterotoxins, and its anti-virulence effect was exerted in a concentration-dependent manner. Transcriptome results indicated that phloretin could downregulate the transcription level of majority virulence factors related genes (68 %) of S. aureus, including the quorum sensing-related genes (agrB, agrC, agrA, sspA, splF, splD and others) and bacterial secretion system-related genes (secDF, secY2, and yidC). In addition, it was speculated that phloretin was most likely to bind to the AgrA DNA binding domain, thereby affecting the expression of downstream virulence genes (hla, seb, spa, rot, geh, etc) based on molecular docking. Finally, the application in cooked chicken indicated that phloretin could effectively decrease the content of enterotoxins and improve the storage quality of cooked chicken. These findings not only evidenced the feasible anti-virulence activity of phloretin, but also provided a new strategy to prevent S. aureus food poisoning in cooked meat preservation.

Abstract
The extent to which brain responses are less distinctive across varying cognitive loads in older adults is referred to as neural dedifferentiation. Moment-to-moment brain signal variability, an emerging indicator, reveals not only the adaptability of an individual's brain as an inter-individual trait, but also the allocation of neural resources within an individual due to ever-changing task demands, thus shedding novel insight into the process of neural dedifferentiation. However, how the modulation of intra-individual brain signal variability reflects behavioral differences related to cognitively demanding tasks remains unclear. In this study, we employed functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) imaging to capture the variability of brain signals, which was quantified by the standard deviation, during both the resting state and an n-back task (n = 1, 2, 3) in 57 healthy older adults. Using multivariate Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis, we found that fNIRS signal variability increased from the resting state to the task and increased with working memory load in older adults. We further confirmed that greater fNIRS signal variability generally supported faster and more stable response time in the 2- and 3-back conditions. However, the intra-individual level analysis showed that the greater the up-modulation in fNIRS signal variability with cognitive loads, the more its accuracy decreases and mean response time increases, suggesting that a greater intra-individual brain signal variability up-modulation may reflect decreased efficiency in neural information processing. Taken together, our findings offer new insights into the nature of brain signal variability, suggesting that inter- and intra-individual brain signal variability may index distinct theoretical constructs.

Abstract
In recent years, the frequent occurrence of nocturnal background ozone enhancement (A gradually increasing trend in the long-term change of nocturnal ozone concentration, [NBOE]) and nocturnal ozone enhancement (the presence of a nocturnal ozone peak and high nocturnal ozone value, [NOE]) have attracted extensive attention in the academic community. NBOE and NOE impact atmospheric chemical processes, and higher nocturnal ozone concentrations adversely affect human health and biological growth. Therefore, we reviewed the research history of NBOE and NOE, provided an overview of research on NBOE, and summarized the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of NOE. According to the available observations, the frequency of NOE in a long-time series (i.e., more than one year) from 2005 to 2020 generally ranges between 15 % and 50 %. Compared to other nations, China has a higher nocturnal ozone peak. In most NOE events, the magnitude of ozone increase (ΔO3/Δt) ranges from 5 to 20 ppb, and NOE events occur more frequently during midnight. In addition, we described the current international-level understanding of the causes of NOE and the impact of NOE on nighttime and next-day atmospheric chemical processes. Future research should not only enhance the quantitative analysis of the causal factors of NBOE and NOE, but also prioritize exploring how NBOE and NOE influence secondary pollutant production, human health, and biological growth. Finally, attention should be paid to the influence of NBOE and NOE on the formulation of synergistic control policies for PM2.5 and ozone.

Abstract
RNA acetylation is a universal post-transcriptional modification that occurs in various RNAs. Transfer RNA (tRNA) acetylation is found at position 34 (ac4C34) in bacterial tRNAMet and position 12 (ac4C12) in eukaryotic tRNASer and tRNALeu. The biochemical mechanism, structural basis and functional significance of ac4C34 are well understood; however, despite being discovered in the 1960s and identification of Kre33/NAT10 and Tan1/THUMPD1 as modifying apparatuses, ac4C12 modification activity has never been reconstituted for nearly six decades. Here, we successfully reconstituted the ac4C12 modification activity of yeast Kre33 and Tan1. Biogenesis of ac4C12 is primarily dependent on a minimal set of elements, including a canonical acceptor stem, the presence of the 11CCG13 motif and correct D-arm orientation, indicating a molecular ruler mechanism. A single A13G mutation conferred ac4C12 modification to multiple non-substrate tRNAs. Moreover, we were able to introduce ac4C modifications into small RNAs. ac4C12 modification contributed little to tRNA melting temperature and aminoacylation in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our results realize in vitro activity reconstitution, delineate tRNA substrate selection mechanism for ac4C12 biogenesis and develop a valuable system for preparing acetylated tRNAs as well as non-tRNA RNA species, which will advance the functional interpretation of the acetylation in RNA structures and functions.

Abstract
Objective To study and compare the efficacy and clinical value of aminophylline and doxofylline in the clinical treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Method The study analyzed the clinical data of 92 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who received either aminophylline or doxofylline treatment in the hospital from January 2020 to June 2022. The patients were divided into a control group composed of 46 COPD patients who received aminophylline treatment and a study group composed of 46 COPD patients who received doxofylline treatment. The two groups' total effective rate and incidence of adverse reactions were compared. The serum inflammatory factor indicators, symptom scores, pulmonary ventilation function, arterial blood gas, chest and lung responsiveness, sleep status indicators, and quality of life scores of the two groups before and after treatment were compared. Results At the end of treatment, the total effective rate was higher in the study group compared to the control group (P < .05). Regarding adverse reactions, the study group's total incidence was lower than the control group's (P < .05). After treatment, the levels of serum inflammatory factor indicators of CRP, PCT, and TNF- α in both groups were decreased compared with those before treatment; while comparing the above indicators between the groups, it was found that the values in the study group were lower (all P < .05). After treatment, the scores of symptoms such as cough, expectoration, and shortness of breath in both groups of patients were significantly lower than before treatment, while compared to the control group, the scores of all symptoms were lower in the study group (P < .05). After treatment, compared with FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PaO2, and PaCO2 before treatment, the above indicators in both groups were significantly improved. However, compared with various indicators in the control group, the values of FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and PaO2 in the study group were higher, while the values of PaCO2 in the study group were lower (all P < .05). After treatment, the measured values of indicators such as thoracic compliance, lung compliance, and total compliance in the two groups were significantly higher compared with those before the treatment, while compared to the control group, the values of all indicators in the study group were higher (P < .05). After treatment, compared with the control group's monitoring of various indicators of nighttime sleep, the study group obtained better data on monitoring of sleep latency and actual sleep duration. The group obtained lower scores in sleep quality evaluation, while the two groups significantly improved their sleep-related data in night-time monitoring and evaluation compared to those before treatment, with all P < .05. After treatment, the scores in various aspects of the quality of life of patients in both groups were significantly increased compared to those before treatment, and after comparing the scores of various quality of life between the two groups, it was found that the study group was higher than the control group (all P < .05). Conclusion After the onset of COPD, doxofylline treatment can achieve better effects than aminophylline treatment.

Abstract
Protein from Sichuan peppers can elicit mild to severe allergic reactions. However, little is known about their allergenic proteins. We aimed to isolate, identify, clone, and characterize Sichuan pepper allergens and to determine its allergenicity and cross-reactivities. Sichuan pepper seed proteins were extracted and then analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Western blotting was performed with sera from Sichuan pepper-allergic individuals. Proteins of interest were purified using hydrophobic interaction chromatography and gel filtration and further analyzed by analytical ultracentrifugation, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS). Their coding region was amplified in the genome. IgE reactivity and cross-reactivity of allergens were evaluated by dot blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and competitive ELISA. Western blot showed IgE binding to a 55 kDa protein. This protein was homologous to the citrus proteins and has high stability and a sheet structure. Four DNA sequences were cloned. Six patients' sera (60%) showed specific IgE reactivity to this purified 11S protein, which was proved to have cross-reactivation with extracts of cashew nuts, pistachios, and citrus seeds. A novel allergen in Sichuan pepper seeds, Zan b 2, which belongs to the 11S globulin family, was isolated and identified. Its cross-reactivity with cashew nuts, pistachios, and citrus seeds was demonstrated.

Abstract
Constructing a phosphor with multifunctional applications is an imperative challenge. Especially, highly thermostable luminescence of phosphor is indispensable for stable white-light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Nevertheless, good thermal quenching resistance behavior is unfavorable for a fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR)-based optical temperature sensor. Herein, a highly thermostable Ba3(ZnB5O10)PO4 (BZBP)-based phosphor is successfully achieved via replacing Ba2+ with Dy3+, demonstrating simultaneously promising lighting and thermometry utilizations. Under the excitation of 350 nm, the title phosphor only loses 12% of the initial intensity when the temperature is up to 473 K, ensuring sufficient luminescence thermostability for white-LED lighting. The white-LED device fabricated using the title phosphor emits high-quality white light with a high color rendering index (Ra = 93) and low correlated color temperature (CCT = 3996 K). Meanwhile, the yellow and blue emission intensities demonstrate a downtrend difference with rising temperature. Temperature sensing properties are assessed through FIR technology. The maximal relative sensitivity reaches as high as 0.0379 K-1 at 298 K. These results reveal that the title phosphor has a great potential for indoor lighting and thermometry applications.

Abstract
Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) has gained attention as the first RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification eraser due to its overexpression being associated with various cancers. In this study, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the detection of demethylase FTO was developed based on DNAzyme-mediated CRISPR/Cas12a signal cascade amplification system and carboxylated carbon nitride nanosheets/phosphorus-doped nitrogen-vacancy modified carbon nitride nanosheets (C-CN/PCNV) heterojunction as the emitter. The biosensor was constructed by modifying the C-CN/PCNV heterojunction and a ferrocene-tagged probe (ssDNA-Fc) on a glassy carbon electrode. The presence of FTO removes the m6A modification on the catalytic core of DNAzyme, restoring its cleavage activity and generating activator DNA. This activator DNA further activates the trans-cleavage ability of Cas12a, leading to the cleavage of the ssDNA-Fc and the recovery of the ECL signal. The C-CN/PCNV heterojunction prevents electrode passivation and improves the electron-hole recombination, resulting in significantly enhanced ECL signal. The biosensor demonstrates high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.63 pM in the range from 1.0 pM to 100 nM. Furthermore, the biosensor was successfully applied to detect FTO in cancer cell lysate and screen FTO inhibitors, showing great potential in early clinical diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and phenotypic switching are key mechanisms in the development of proliferative arterial diseases. Notably, reprogramming of the glucose metabolism pattern in VSMCs plays an important role in this process. PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic potential and the mechanism underlying the effect of bergenin, an active compound found in Bergenia, in proliferative arterial diseases. METHODS The effect of bergenin on proliferative arterial disease was evaluated using platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated VSMCs and a mouse model of carotid artery ligation. VSMC proliferation and phenotypic switching were evaluated in vitro using cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine incorporation, scratch, and transwell assays. Carotid artery neointimal hyperplasia was evaluated in vivo using hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunofluorescence. The expression of proliferation and VSMC contractile phenotype markers was evaluated using PCR and western blotting. RESULTS Bergenin treatment inhibited PDGF-induced VSMC proliferation and phenotypic switching and reduced neointimal hyperplasia in the carotid artery ligation model. Additionally, bergenin partially reversed the PDGF-induced Warburg-like glucose metabolism pattern in VSMCs. RNA-sequencing data revealed that bergenin treatment significantly upregulated Ndufs2, an essential subunit of mitochondrial complex I. Ndufs2 knockdown attenuated the inhibitory effect of bergenin on PDGF-induced VSMC proliferation and phenotypic switching, and suppressed neointimal hyperplasia in vivo. Conversely, Ndufs2 overexpression enhanced the protective effect of bergenin. Moreover, Ndufs2 knockdown abrogated the effects of bergenin on the regulation of glucose metabolism in VSMCs. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that bergenin is effective in alleviating proliferative arterial diseases. The reversal of the Warburg-like glucose metabolism pattern in VSMCs during proliferation and phenotypic switching may underlie this therapeutic mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Expiratory central airway collapse (ECAC) following postintubation airway stenosis (PITS) is a rare phenomenon. The impact of airway malacia and collapse on the prognosis and the success rate of bronchoscopic interventional therapy in patients with PITS had been inadequately investigated. OBJECTIVE The aim of this research was to assess the influence of airway malacia and collapse on the efficacy of bronchoscopic interventional therapy in patients with PITS. DESIGN This retrospective analysis examined the medical documentation of individuals diagnosed with PITS who underwent bronchoscopic intervention at the tertiary interventional pulmonology center of Emergency General Hospital from 2014 to 2021. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Data pertaining to preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative stages were documented and subjected to analysis. RESULTS The patients in malacia and collapse group (MC group) exhibited a higher frequency of perioperative complications, including intraoperative hypoxemia, need for reoperation within 24 h, and postoperative intensive care unit admission rate (P < 0.05, respectively). Meanwhile, patients in group MC demonstrated significantly worse postoperative scores (higher mMRC score and lower KPS score) compared to those in pure stenosis group (P < 0.05, respectively), along with higher degrees of stenosis after treatment and a lower success rate of bronchoscopic intervention therapy cured (P < 0.05, respectively). Pearson analysis results showed that these terms were all significantly correlated with the occurrence of airway malacia and collapse in the airway (P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION The presence of malacia or collapse in patients with PITS was associated with increased perioperative complications following bronchoscopic interventional therapy, and significantly reduced the long-term cure rate compared to patients with pure tracheal stenosis.

Abstract
Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) may facilitate treatment selection. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the feasibility and clinical benefit of using PDOs to guide personalized treatment in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients diagnosed with MBC were recruited between January 2019 and August 2022. PDOs were established and the efficacy of customized drug panels was determined by measuring cell mortality after drug exposure. Patients receiving organoid-guided treatment (OGT) were matched 1:2 by nearest neighbor propensity scores with patients receiving treatment of physician's choice (TPC). The primary outcome was progression-free survival. Secondary outcomes included objective response rate and disease control rate. Targeted gene sequencing and pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Forty-six PDOs (46 of 51, 90.2%) were generated from 45 MBC patients. PDO drug screening showed an accuracy of 78.4% (95% CI 64.9%-91.9%) in predicting clinical responses. Thirty-six OGT patients were matched to 69 TPC patients. OGT was associated with prolonged median progression-free survival (11.0 months vs. 5.0 months; hazard ratio 0.53 [95% CI 0.33-0.85]; p = .01) and improved disease control (88.9% vs. 63.8%; odd ratio 4.26 [1.44-18.62]) compared with TPC. The objective response rate of both groups was similar. Pathway enrichment analysis in hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative patients demonstrated differentially modulated pathways implicated in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation in those with reduced response to capecitabine/gemcitabine, and pathways associated with cell cycle regulation in those with reduced response to palbociclib. Our study shows that PDO-based functional precision medicine is a feasible and effective strategy for MBC treatment optimization and customization.

Abstract
Alginate-encapsulated hepatocyte transplantation is a promising strategy to treat liver failure. However, its clinical application was impeded by the lack of primary human hepatocytes and difficulty in controlling their quality. We previously reported proliferating human hepatocytes (ProliHHs). Here, quality-controlled ProliHHs were produced in mass and engineered as liver organoids to improve their maturity. Encapsulated ProliHHs liver organoids (eLO) were intraperitoneally transplanted to treat liver failure animals. Notably, eLO treatment increased the survival of mice with post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) and ameliorated hyperammonemia and hypoglycemia by providing liver functions. Additionally, eLO treatment protected the gut from PHLF-augmented permeability and normalized the increased serum endotoxin and inflammatory response, which facilitated liver regeneration. The therapeutic effect of eLO was additionally proved in acetaminophen-induced liver failure. Furthermore, we performed assessments of toxicity and biodistribution, demonstrating that eLO had no adverse effects on animals and remained non-tumorigenic.

Abstract
In soft electronics, anisotropic conductive adhesive films (ACFs) are the trending interconnecting approach due to their substantial softness and superior bondability to flexible substrates. However, low bonding pressure (≤1 MPa) and fine-pitch interconnections of ACFs become challenging while being extended in advanced device developments such as wafer-level packaging and three-dimensional multi-layer integrated circuit board assembly. To overcome these difficulties, we studied two types of ACFs with distinct conductive filler sizes (ACF-1: ~20 μm and ACF-2: ~5 μm). We demonstrated a low-pressure thermo-compression bonding technique and investigated the size effect of conductive particles on ACF's mechanical properties in a customized testing device, which consists of flexible printing circuits and Flex on Flex assemblies. A consistency of low interconnection resistance (<1 Ω) after mechanical stress (cycling bending test up to 600 cycles) verifies the assembly's outstanding electrical reliability and mechanical stability and thus validates the great effectiveness of the ACF bonding technique. Additionally, in numerical studies using the finite element method, we developed a generic model to disclose the size effect of Au/Ni-coated polymer fillers in ACF on device reliability under mechanical stress. For the first time, we confirmed that ACFs with smaller filler particles are more prone to coating fracture, leading to deteriorated electrical interconnections, and are more likely to peel off from substrate electrode pads resulting in electrical faults. This study provides guides for ACF design and manufacturing and would facilitate the advancement of soft wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
B-cell lymphoma-2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1) is a versatile protein involved in the regulation of gene transcription and post-transcriptional processing. Although BCLAF1 exerts a broad tumor suppressor effect or tumor promoter effect in many cancer types, the specific roles concerning its expression levels, and its impact on tumorigenesis in Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain unclear. Here, we utilized the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) datasets alongside R software and online tools to unravel the specific roles of BCLAF1 in 33 cancer types, including its expression levels, tumor immune and molecular subtypes, and its correlation with prognosis, diagnosis, DNA methylation, and immune microenvironment. Additionally, we carried out cell biology experiments to independently investigate the expression of BCLAF1 in RCC and its effects on tumor progression. BCLAF1 was differentially expressed in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues across various cancer types and was also differentially expressed in different immune and molecular subtypes. In RCC, patients with high BCLAF1 expression had a better prognosis and BCLAF1 was tightly correlated with the stage, gender, and histological grade of patients. Furthermore, BCLAF1 had higher DNA methylation levels and higher immune infiltration levels in tumor tissues. Additionally, cell functional experiments confirmed the low expression of BCLAF1 in RCC and that BCLAF1 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion, while inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in RCC cells in vitro. Our study under-scored the potential of BCLAF1 as an important actor in tumorigenesis, especially concerning RCC where it may serve as an effective prognostic marker.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is a major health problem that can lead to prolonged damage to the digestive system. This study investigated the effects of an exopolysaccharide from genistein-stimulated Monascus purpureus (G-EMP) in a mouse model of colitis to clarify its molecular mechanisms and identified its structures. G-EMP (Mw = 56.4 kDa) was primarily consisted of → 4)-α-D-Galp-(1 →, → 2,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→ and →2)-β-D-Manp-(1 → , with one of the branches being α-D-Manp-(1 →. G-EMP intervention reduced the loss of body weight, degree of colonic damage and shortening, disease activity index scores, and histopathology scores, while restoring goblet cell production and oxidative homeostasis, repairing colonic functions, and regulating inflammatory cytokines. RNA sequencing and Western blot analysis indicated that G-EMP exerts anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing the TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway. G-EMP modulated the gut microbiota by improving its diversities, elevating the relative abundances of beneficial bacteria, declining the Firmicutes/Bacteroidota value, and regulating the level of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Correlation analysis demonstrated strong links between SCFAs, gut microbiota, and the inflammatory response, indicating the potential of G-EMP to prevent colitis.

Abstract
The distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and halogenated PAHs (HPAHs) in surface soils from the petroleum industrial area of the Yellow River Delta (YRD) in China were investigated. The total concentrations of 16 PAHs ranged from 19.6 to 1560 ng/g, while 22 HPAHs ranged from 2.44 to 14.9 ng/g. Moreover, a high degree of spatial distribution heterogeneity was observed for both PAHs and HPAHs, which is likely attributed to the distinct industrial activities in studied area. The combustion of biomass and petroleum were identified as primary sources of soil PAHs and HPAHs in the YRD. Furthermore, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, and benzo[g,h,i]perylene exhibited high ecological risks (with risk quotients of 1.47, 1.44, and 1.02, respectively) in specific sites within the YRD. Considering the high toxicity of HPAHs and their potential joint environmental effects with PAHs, continuous attention should be directed towards the environmental risks associated with both PAHs and HPAHs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Thrombocytopenia is a disease in which the number of platelets in the peripheral blood decreases. It can be caused by multiple genetic factors, and numerous challenges are associated with its treatment. In this study, the effects of alnustone on megakaryocytes and platelets were investigated, with the aim of developing a new therapeutic approach for thrombocytopenia. METHODS Random forest algorithm was used to establish a drug screening model, and alnustone was identified as a natural active compound that could promote megakaryocyte differentiation. The effect of alnustone on megakaryocyte activity was determined using cell counting kit-8. The effect of alnustone on megakaryocyte differentiation was determined using flow cytometry, Giemsa staining, and phalloidin staining. A mouse model of thrombocytopenia was established by exposing mice to X-rays at 4 Gy and was used to test the bioactivity of alnustone in vivo. The effect of alnustone on platelet production was determined using zebrafish. Network pharmacology was used to predict targets and signaling pathways. Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining determined the expression levels of proteins. RESULTS Alnustone promoted the differentiation and maturation of megakaryocytes in vitro and restored platelet production in thrombocytopenic mice and zebrafish. Network pharmacology and western blotting showed that alnustone promoted the expression of interleukin-17A and enhanced its interaction with its receptor, and thereby regulated downstream MEK/ERK signaling and promoted megakaryocyte differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Alnustone can promote megakaryocyte differentiation and platelet production via the interleukin-17A/interleukin-17A receptor/Src/RAC1/MEK/ERK signaling pathway and thus provides a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
The increasing risk of food poisoning caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) contamination has aroused great concern about food safety. Eugenol is highly favored due to its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and non-drug resistance property. The study aimed to reveal the anti-bacterial and anti-virulence mechanisms of eugenol against S. aureus using phosphoproteomics. The results indicated that eugenol could inhibit the phosphorylation levels of enzyme I in the bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS). Meanwhile, it could also inhibit the phosphorylation levels of key enzymes in bacterial carbon metabolism (such as glucose-6-phosphate isomerase of glycolysis and succinyl-CoA synthetase of tricarboxylic acid cycle), thereby decreasing the content of ATP and accelerating bacterial death. In addition, eugenol could inhibit the phosphorylation of AgrA in the quorum sensing system, thereby inhibiting the expression of agr operons (agrA and agrC) and downstream virulence genes (RNAIII, hla and seb). Finally, the application on beef indicated that eugenol could effectively decrease the content of enterotoxins and improve its storage quality. These findings provide a new way for eugenol to prevent S. aureus contamination and food poisoning in meat products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/RATIONALE Most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) develop relapsed or refractory (R/R) disease after receiving initial induction chemotherapy. Salvage chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is the only curative therapy for R/R AML. Mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine (MEC) is the current standard of care salvage regimen for R/R AML at Cleveland Clinic. The primary objective was to determine the overall remission rate (ORR: defined as patients achieving complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi)) in R/R AML patients who received MEC. METHODS Adult patients with R/R AML treated with MEC between July 1, 2014 and September 30, 2022 were included. ORR and its association with baseline characteristics were determined. Secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and safety. RESULTS Sixty patients were evaluated. The ORR was 51.7% (33.3% CR and 18.3% CRi). The median time from receipt of MEC to CR/CRi was 7.7 weeks. Patients with bone marrow blasts ≤20% and peripheral blood blasts ≤30% at MEC initiation were more than twice as likely to achieve CR/CRi compared to those with a higher blast burden. The median OS was 6.3 months. Twenty-four (40.0%) patients proceeded to alloHSCT. Twenty-one (35.0%) patients were transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) during their admission. CONCLUSIONS MEC is an effective salvage regimen for patients with R/R AML, especially among those with low disease burden at initiation. Febrile neutropenia, infections, and severe oral mucositis were common with MEC administration.

Abstract
Ide-cel received approval for relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma based on the results of the KarMMa-1 trial. However, patients with significant comorbidities, aggressive disease and prior B-cell maturation antigen-directed therapy (BCMA-DT) were excluded. This retrospective study evaluated real-world outcomes of patients who did not meet the KarMMa-1 eligibility criteria and were treated with standard of care (SOC) ide-cel. A total of 69 patients from three US centres who did not meet the KarMMa-1 criteria underwent ide-cel infusion. The main reasons for trial ineligibility included baseline grade 3-4 cytopenia (39%), prior BCMA-DT (26%), renal impairment (19%) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≥2 (14.5%). Cytokine-release syndrome occurred in 81% vs. 84%, and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome occurred in 28% vs. 18% of SOC versus KarMMa-1 patients, respectively. Early infection (≤8 weeks post-infusion) and severe infection rates were 42% vs. 49% and 30% vs. 22% for the SOC versus KarMMa-1 cohorts, respectively. Grade 3-4 cytopenias for SOC versus KarMMa-1 cohorts were: neutropenia (87% vs. 89%), anaemia (51% vs. 60%) and thrombocytopenia (65% vs. 52%). Overall response rate was higher for the SOC cohort (93% vs. 73%), as was the complete response or better rate (48% vs. 33%). However, median progression-free survival and overall survival were comparable between the two groups. Our findings support broadening the inclusion criteria of future trials evaluating ide-cel.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complicated and multistage biological process for the repair of damaged/injured tissues, which requires intelligent designs to provide comprehensive and convenient treatment. Peptide-based wound dressings have received extensive attention for further development and application due to their excellent biocompatibility and multifunctionality. However, the current lack of intuitive analysis of the development trend and research hotspots of peptides applied in wound healing, as well as detailed elaboration of possible research hotspots, restricted obtaining a comprehensive understanding and development in this field. The present study analysed publications from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database and visualized the hotspots and current trends of peptide research in wound healing. Data between January 1st, 2003, and December 31st, 2022, were collected and subjected to a bibliometric analysis. The countries, institutions, co-authorship, co-citation reference, and co-occurrence of keywords in this subject were examined using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. We provided an intuitive, timely, and logical overview of the development prospects and challenges of peptide application in wound healing and some solutions to the major obstacles, which will help researchers gain insights into the investigation of this promising field.

Abstract
Coastal wetlands play an important role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and contribute significantly to climate change mitigation. However, climate change, reclamation, and restoration have been causing substantial changes in coastal wetland areas and carbon exchange in China during recent decades. Here we compiled a carbon flux database consisting of 15 coastal wetland sites to assess the magnitude, patterns, and drivers of carbon fluxes and to compare fluxes among contrasting natural, disturbed, and restored wetlands. The natural coastal wetlands have the average net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) of -577 g C m-2 year-1, with -821 g C m-2 year-1 for mangrove forests and -430 g C m-2 year-1 for salt marshes. There are pronounced latitudinal patterns for carbon dioxide exchange of natural coastal wetlands: NEE increased whereas gross primary production (GPP) and respiration of ecosystem decreased with increasing latitude. Distinct environmental factors drive annual variations of GPP between mangroves and salt marshes; temperature was the dominant controlling factor in salt marshes, while temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation were co-dominant in mangroves. Meanwhile, both anthropogenic reclamation and restoration had substantial effects on coastal wetland carbon fluxes, and the effect of the anthropogenic perturbation in mangroves was more extensive than that in salt marshes. Furthermore, from 1980 to 2020, anthropogenic reclamation of China's coastal wetlands caused a carbon loss of ~3720 Gg C, while the mangrove restoration project during the period of 2021-2025 may switch restored coastal wetlands from a carbon source to carbon sink with a net carbon gain of 73 Gg C. The comparison of carbon fluxes among these coastal wetlands can improve our understanding of how anthropogenic perturbation can affect the potentials of coastal blue carbon in China, which has implications for informing conservation and restoration strategies and efforts of coastal wetlands.

Abstract
Observation-based method for O3 formation sensitivity research is an important tool to analyze the causes of ground-level O3 pollution, which has broad application potentials in determining the O3 pollution formation mechanism and developing prevention and control strategies. This paper outlined the development history of research on O3 formation sensitivity based on observational methods, described the principle and applicability of the methodology, summarized the relative application results in China and provided recommendations on the prevention and control of O3 pollution in China based on relevant study results, and finally pointed out the shortcomings and future development prospects in this field in China. The overview study showed that the O3 formation sensitivity in some urban areas in China in recent years presented a gradual shifting tendency from the VOC-limited regime to the transition regime or the NOx-limited regime due to the implementation of the O3 precursors emission reduction policies; O3 pollution control strategies and precursor control countermeasures should be formulated based on local conditions and the dynamic control capability of O3 pollution control measures should be improved. There are still some current deficiencies in the study field in China. Therefore, it is recommended that a stereoscopic monitoring network for atmospheric photochemical components should be further constructed and improved; the atmospheric chemical mechanisms should be vigorously developed, and standardized methods for determining the O3 formation sensitivity should be established in China in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 13-15% of breast cancer/BC patients diagnosed as pathological complete response/pCR after neoadjuvant systemic therapy/NST suffer from recurrence. This study aims to estimate the rationality of organoid forming potential/OFP for more accurate evaluation of NST efficacy. METHODS OFPs of post-NST residual disease/RD were checked and compared with clinical approaches to estimate the recurrence risk. The phenotypes of organoids were classified via HE staining and ER, PR, HER2, Ki67 and CD133 immuno-labeling. The active growing organoids were subjected to drug sensitivity tests. RESULTS Of 62 post-NST BC specimens, 24 were classified as OFP-I with long-term active organoid growth, 19 as OFP-II with stable organoid growth within 3 weeks, and 19 as OFP-III without organoid formation. Residual tumors were overall correlated with OFP grades (P < 0.001), while 3 of the 18 patients (16.67%) pathologically diagnosed as tumor-free (ypT0N0M0) showed tumor derived-organoid formation. The disease-free survival/DFS of OFP-I cases was worse than other two groups (Log-rank P < 0.05). Organoids of OFP-I/-II groups well maintained the biological features of their parental tumors and were resistant to the drugs used in NST. CONCLUSIONS The OFP would be a complementary parameter to improve the evaluation accuracy of NST efficacy of breast cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysyl oxidase (LOX) family members (LOX and LOXL1 to 4) are crucial copper-dependent enzymes responsible for cross-linking collagen and elastin. Previous studies have revealed that LOX and LOXL1 are the most dramatically dysregulated LOX isoforms during liver fibrosis. However, the crosstalk between them and the underlying mechanisms involved in the profibrotic behaviors of HSCs, as well as the progression of liver fibrosis, remain unclear. METHODS pCol9GFP-HS4,5Tg mice, Loxl1fl/flGfapCre mice, human HSC line, and primary HSCs were enrolled to study the dysregulation pattern, profibrotic roles, and the potential mechanisms of LOX and LOXL1 interaction involved in the myofibroblast-like transition of HSCs and liver fibrogenesis. RESULTS LOX and LOXL1 were synergistically upregulated during liver fibrogenesis, irrespective of etiology, together orchestrating the profibrotic behaviors of HSCs. LOX and LOXL1 coregulated in HSCs, whereas LOXL1 dominated in the coregulation loop. Interestingly, the interaction between LOXL1 and LOX prolonged their half-lives, specifically enhancing the Notch signal-mediated myofibroblast-like transition of HSCs. Selective disruption of Loxl1 in Gfap+ HSCs deactivated the Notch signal, inhibited HSC activation, and relieved carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS Our current study confirmed the synergistic roles and the underlying mechanisms of LOXL1 and LOX crosstalk in the profibrotic behaviors of HSCs and liver fibrosis progression, providing experimental evidence for further clear mechanism-based anti-LOXL1 strategy development in the therapy of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer) can cause serositis in multiple poultry species, resulting in significant losses. Although R. anatipestifer-caused infections in ducks have been well established, the literature about this disease in geese is rare. Here, we isolated and identified 56 strains of R. anatipestifer from the eastern regions of Hebei Province, China, and further determined their serotypes, antibiotic resistance, and pathogenicity. A total of 75 strains of causative bacteria were isolated from 70 sick geese with serositis. After Gram staining microscopy, PCR, and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, 56 isolates were identified as members of R. anatipestifer and 19 as Escherichia coli (E. coli). The results of serotyping showed that there were 4 serotypes prevalent in the isolate, including serotype 1 (37/56), serotype 2 (9/56), serotype 11 (8/56), and serotype 13 (2/56). The results of antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that all 56 R. anatipestifer isolates showed varying degrees of multidrug resistance (MDR). A total of 10 antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) were determined in these isolates. Four isolates of different serotypes were selected for pathogenicity examination, and all were able to reproduce serositis-like symptoms in 15-day-old goslings, with neurological symptoms and a 100% mortality rate. Hemorrhagic congestion of the brain tissue, steatosis of the hepatocytes, and disorganization of some cardiac myofibers were observed in R. anatipestifer-infected geese. All these findings will contribute to our insights into the prevalence characteristics, antibiotic resistance profile, and pathogenicity of R. anatipestifer infection in geese in eastern Hebei Province and provide scientific guidance for the treatment and control of this disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a procedure that varies in difficulty because of patient characteristics and clinical conditions. Existing physical simulators do not encompass these variations. The Virtual Airway Skills Trainer for Endotracheal Intubation (VAST-ETI) was developed to provide different patient characteristics and high-fidelity haptic feedback to improve training. METHODS We demonstrate the effectiveness of VAST-ETI as a training and evaluation tool for ETI. Construct validation was evaluated by scoring the performance of experts ( N = 15) and novices ( N = 15) on the simulator to ensure its ability to distinguish technical proficiency. Convergent and predictive validity were evaluated by performing a learning curve study, in which a group of novices ( N = 7) were trained for 2 weeks using VAST-ETI and then compared with a control group ( N = 9). RESULTS The VAST-ETI was able to distinguish between expert and novice based on mean simulator scores ( t [88] = -6.61, P < 0.0005). When used during repeated practice, individuals demonstrated a significant increase in their score on VAST-ETI over the learning period ( F [11,220] = 7206, P < 0.001); however when compared with a control group, there was not a significant interaction effect on the simulator score. There was a significant difference between the simulator-trained and control groups ( t [12.85] = -2.258, P = 0.042) when tested in the operating room. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of virtual simulation with haptic feedback for assessing performance and training of ETI. The simulator was not able to differentiate performance between more experienced trainees and experts because of limits in simulator difficulty.

Abstract
Methamphetamine use disorder (MAUD) can substantially jeopardize public security due to its high-risk social psychology and behaviour. Given that the dopamine reward system is intimately correlated with MAUD, we investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), as well as methylation status of dopamine receptor type 4 (DRD4), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) genes, and paranoid and motor-impulsive symptoms in MAUD patients. A total of 189 MAUD patients participated in our study. Peripheral blood samples were used to detect 3 SNPs and 35 CpG units of methylation in the DRD4 gene promoter region and 5 SNPs and 39 CpG units in the COMT gene. MAUD patients with the DRD4 rs1800955 C allele have a lower percentage of paranoid symptoms than those with the rs1800955 TT allele. Individuals with paranoid symptoms exhibited a reduced methylation degree at a particular DRD4 CpG2.3 unit. The interaction of the DRD4 rs1800955 C allele and the reduced DRD4CpG2.3 methylation degree were associated with a lower occurrence of paranoid symptoms. Meanwhile, those with the COMT rs4818 CC allele had lower motor-impulsivity scores in MAUD patients but greater COMT methylation levels in the promoter region and methylation degree at the COMT CpG 51.52 unit. Therefore, based only on the COMT rs4818 CC polymorphism, there was a negative correlation between COMT methylation and motor-impulsive scores. Our preliminary results provide a clue that the combination of SNP genotype and methylation status of the DRD4 and COMT genes serve as biological indicators for the prevalence of relatively high-risk psychotic symptoms in MAUD patients.

Abstract
Chronic adipose tissue inflammation accompanied by macrophage accumulation and activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in humans. The transcriptional coregulator CREBZF is a key factor in hepatic metabolism, yet its role in modulating adipose tissue inflammation and type 2 diabetes remains elusive. The present study demonstrates that overnutrition-induced CREBZF links adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) proinflammatory activation to insulin resistance. CREBZF deficiency in macrophages, not in neutrophils, attenuates macrophage infiltration in adipose, proinflammatory activation, and hyperglycemia in diet-induced insulin-resistant mice. The coculture assays show that macrophage CREBZF deficiency improves insulin sensitivity in primary adipocytes and adipose tissue. Mechanistically, CREBZF competitively inhibits the binding of IκBα to p65, resulting in enhanced NF-κB activity. In addition, bromocriptine is identified as a small molecule inhibitor of CREBZF in macrophages, which suppresses the proinflammatory phenotype and improves metabolic dysfunction. Furthermore, CREBZF is highly expressed in ATM of obese humans and mice, which is positively correlated with proinflammatory genes and insulin resistance in humans. This study identifies a previously unknown role of CREBZF coupling ATM activation to systemic insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Background Effective monitoring and management are crucial during long-term home noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in patients with hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study investigated the benefit of Internet of Things (IOT)-based management of home NPPV. Methods This multicenter, prospective, parallel-group, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial enrolled patients requiring long-term home NPPV for hypercapnic COPD. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1), via a computer-generated randomization sequence, to standard home management or IOT management based on telemonitoring of clinical and ventilator parameters over 12 months. The intervention was unblinded, but outcome assessment was blinded to management assignment. The primary outcome was the between-group comparison of the change in health-related quality of life, based on severe respiratory insufficiency questionnaire scores with a non-inferiority margin of -5. This study is registered with Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (No. ChiCTR1800019536). Findings Overall, 148 patients (age: 72.7 ± 6.8 years; male: 85.8%; forced expiratory volume in 1 s: 0.7 ± 0.3 L; PaCO2: 66.4 ± 12.0 mmHg), recruited from 11 Chinese hospitals between January 24, 2019, and June 28, 2021, were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 73) or the control group (n = 75). At 12 months, the mean severe respiratory insufficiency questionnaire score was 56.5 in the intervention group and 50.0 in the control group (adjusted between-group difference: 6.26 [95% CI, 3.71-8.80]; P < 0.001), satisfying the hypothesis of non-inferiority. The 12-month risk of readmission was 34.3% in intervention group compared with 56.0% in the control group, adjusted hazard ratio of 0.56 (95% CI, 0.34-0.92; P = 0.023). No severe adverse events were reported. Interpretation Among stable patients with hypercapnic COPD, using IOT-based management for home NPPV improved health-related quality of life and prolonged the time to readmission.

Abstract
The excessive accumulation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the environment poses a risk to environment and human health. In the present study, a potassium bicarbonate-modified pyrite/porous biochar composite (PKBC) was prepared in a one-step process and applied for the efficient removal of Cr(VI) in wastewater. The results showed that PKBC can significantly remove Cr(VI) within 4 h over a wide range of pH (2-11). Meanwhile, the PKBC demonstrated remarkable resistance towards interference from complex ions. The addition of potassium bicarbonate increased the pore structure of the material and promoted the release of Fe2+. The reduction of Cr(VI) in aqueous solution was primarily attributed to the Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox cycle. The sulphur species achieved Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle through electron transfer with iron, thus ensuring the continuous reduction capacity of PKBC. Besides, the removal rate was also maintained at more than 85% in the actual water samples treatment process. This work provides a new way to remove hexavalent chromium from wastewater and demonstrates the potential critical role of potassium bicarbonate and sulphur.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence is limited to the effects of shared governance (SG) and autonomy on nurse-sensitive indicators (NSIs). PURPOSE To explore the effects of SG, autonomy, and Magnet status on nurse and patient outcomes. METHODS A cross-sectional survey study was conducted using a convenience sample of 404 nurses from 4 hospitals. Descriptive analyses of variance (ANOVAs), and path analysis were conducted to identify hypothesized associations and predictive pathways among study variables. RESULTS Nurse managers reported higher perceptions of SG, autonomy, and satisfaction than staff nurses. SG and autonomy were significant predictors of patient falls and hospital-acquired pressure injuries. Nurses' autonomy, SG, and Magnet accreditation were significant predictors of nurse satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS Leadership support of SG and autonomous practice are key strategies to improve nurse satisfaction and NSI outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of split liver transplantation (SLT) in clinical application. Methods: This is a retrospective case-series study. The clinical data of 203 consecutive SLT, 79 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and 1 298 whole liver transplantation (WLT) performed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2014 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and three SLT liver grafts were obtained from 109 donors. One hundred and twenty-seven grafts were generated by in vitro splitting and 76 grafts were generated by in vivo splitting. There were 90 adult recipients and 113 pediatric recipients. According to time, SLT patients were divided into two groups: the early SLT group (40 cases, from July 2014 to December 2017) and the mature SLT technology group (163 cases, from January 2018 to July 2023). The survival of each group was analyzed and the main factors affecting the survival rate of SLT were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Results: The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 74.58%, 71.47%, and 71.47% in the early SLT group, and 88.03%, 87.23%, and 87.23% in the mature SLT group, respectively. Survival rates in the mature SLT group were significantly higher than those in the early SLT group (χ2=5.560,P=0.018). The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year were 93.41%, 93.41%, 89.95% in the LDLT group and 87.38%, 81.98%, 77.04% in the WLT group, respectively. There was no significant difference among the mature SLT group, the LDLT group and the WLT group (χ2=4.016, P=0.134). Abdominal hemorrhage, infection, primary liver graft nonfunction,and portal vein thrombosis were the main causes of early postoperative death. Conclusion: SLT can achieve results comparable to those of WLT and LDLT in mature technology liver transplant centers, but it needs to go through a certain time learning curve.

Abstract
The damage of integrated epithelial epithelium is a key pathogenic factor and closely associated with the recurrence of ulcerative colitis (UC). Here, we reported that vanillic acid (VA) exerted potent therapeutic effects on DSS-induced colitis by restoring intestinal epithelium homeostasis via the inhibition of ferroptosis. By the CETSA assay and DARTS assay, we identified carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX, CA9) as the direct target of VA. The binding of VA to CA9 causes insulin-induced gene-2 (INSIG2) to interact with stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), rather than SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), leading to the translocation of SCAP-SREBP1 from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus for cleavage into mature SREBP1. The activation of SREBP1 induced by VA then significantly facilitated the transcription of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) to exert an inhibitory effect on ferroptosis. By inhibiting the excessive death of intestinal epithelial cells caused by ferroptosis, VA effectively preserved the integrity of intestinal barrier and prevented the progression of unresolved inflammation. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that VA could alleviate colitis by restoring intestinal epithelium homeostasis through CA9/STIM1-mediated inhibition of ferroptosis, providing a promising therapeutic candidate for UC.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dynamic navigation for implant placement has been reported to be more accurate than freehand surgery. However, the accuracy of the calibration methods used for navigation in partially edentulous individuals with distal extensions remains unknown. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study on dental models was to evaluate the accuracy of 3 calibration methods of dynamic navigation for implant placement in the distal extension of partially edentulous arches. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eleven standardized polyurethane mandibular models with distal extensions were prepared. The left first molar, second molar, and second premolar from each model (33 tooth sites) were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 calibration methods: U-shaped tube embedded with radiopaque markers, anatomic tooth cusps, and bone markers with the random number table method. Preoperative and postoperative cone beam computed tomography images were obtained for deviation analyses. The primary outcomes were 3-dimensional (3D) deviation at the implant platform and apex and angular deviation. Differences among the test groups were analyzed by using a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the least significant difference (LSD) post hoc test (α=.05). RESULTS The mean ±standard deviation 3D deviations were 0.78 ±0.34, 1.86 ±0.91, and 1.44 ±0.57 mm at the implant platform and 0.79 ±0.35, 2.19 ±1.01, and 1.49 ±0.50 mm at the apex in the U-shaped tube, tooth cusp, and bone marker groups, respectively. The 3D deviations at the implant platform and apex were significantly different among the groups (P<.01). The angular deviation was 1.36 ±0.54, 2.95 ±2.07, and 2.92 ±2.45 degrees, with no significant differences among the groups (P=.092). CONCLUSIONS In the dynamic navigation of implant placement in the distal extension of partially edentulous arches, the U-shaped tube calibration with radiopaque markers was more accurate than the anatomic tooth cusp or bone marker calibration.

Abstract
Introduction: Sex differences in glioblastoma (GBM) have been observed in incidence, genetic and epigenetic alterations, and immune response. These differences have extended to the methylation of the MGMT promoter, which critically impacts temozolomide resistance. However, the association between sex, MGMT methylation, and survival is poorly understood, which this study sought to evaluate. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted and reported following STROBE guidelines, based on adults with newly diagnosed GBM who received their first surgical intervention at Cleveland Clinic (Ohio, USA) between 2012 and 2018. Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between sex and MGMT promoter methylation status on overall survival (OS). MGMT was defined as methylated if the mean of CpG 1-5 ≥ 12. Propensity score matching was performed on a subset of patients to evaluate the effect of individual CpG site methylation. Results: A total of 464 patients had documented MGMT methylation status with a mean age of 63.4 (range 19-93) years. A total of 170 (36.6%) were female, and 133 (28.7%) received gross total resection as a first intervention. A total of 42.5% were MGMT methylated, with females more often having MGMT methylation than males (52.1% vs. 37.4%, p = 0.004). In univariable analysis, OS was significantly longer for MGMT promoter methylated than un-methylated groups for females (2 yr: 36.8% vs. 11.1%; median: 18.7 vs. 9.5 months; p = 0.001) but not for males (2 yr: 24.3% vs. 12.2%; median: 12.4 vs. 11.3 months; p = 0.22, p for MGMT-sex interaction = 0.02). In multivariable analysis, MGMT un-methylated versus methylated promoter females (2.07; 95% CI, 1.45-2.95; p < 0.0001) and males (1.51; 95% CI, 1.14-2.00; p = 0.004) had worse OS. Within the MGMT promoter methylated group, males had significantly worse OS than females (1.42; 95% CI: 1.01-1.99; p = 0.04). Amongst patients with data on MGMT CpG promoter site methylation values (n = 304), the median (IQR) of CpG mean methylation was 3.0% (2.0, 30.5). Females had greater mean CpG methylation than males (11.0 vs. 3.0, p < 0.002) and higher per-site CpG methylation with a significant difference at CPG 1, 2, and 4 (p < 0.008). After propensity score matching, females maintained a significant survival benefit (18.7 vs. 10.0 months, p = 0.004) compared to males (13.0 vs. 13.6 months, p = 0.76), and the pattern of difference was significant (P for CpG-sex interaction = 0.03). Conclusions: In this study, females had higher mean and individual CpG site methylation and received a greater PFS and OS benefit by MGMT methylation that was not seen in males despite equal degrees of CpG methylation.
