Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the spatial pattern and temporal trend of colorectal cancer (CRC) burden attributed to dietary risk factors in China from 1990 to 2019 using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors study (GBD) 2019. METHODS Numbers and age-standardised rates of deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and corresponding average annual percentage change (AAPC) were determined. The joinpoint regression analysis was used to assess the temporal trends of CRC deaths and DALYs from 1990 to 2019. RESULTS In China, the number of diet-attributable CRC deaths and DALYs in 2019 were 90.41 (95% uncertainty interval: 65.69, 114.67) and 2234.06 (1609.96, 2831.24) per-1000 population, marking 2.05% and 1.68% annual increases since 1990, respectively. The region with the highest increase in age-standardised rates (ASRs) of diet-related CRC deaths and DALYs was in Taiwan with an AAPC of 2.00% (1.51, 2.48), whereas the highest decline in ASRs of CRC deaths and DALYs was observed in Hong Kong with an AAPC of -0.63% (-0.90, -0.35) (all P < 0.05). Nationally, men suffered higher CRC deaths and DALY burdens attributable to dietary risks than did women. Regarding the specific diet group, diets low in calcium, milk, and whole grains contributed to CRC deaths and DALYs the most. CONCLUSIONS Diet is an important contributor to increasing CRC burden in China. Necessary measures should be taken to kerb the growing burden attributed to dietary factors, particularly in males and in regions with middle Socio-demographic Index or lower.

Abstract
Anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy, a new lung cancer treatment, is limited to a few patients due to low PD-L1 expression and tumor immunosuppression. To address these challenges, the upregulation of PD-L1 has the potential to elevate the response rate and efficiency of anti-PD-L1 and alleviate the immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we developed a novel usnic acid-derived Iridium(III) complex, Ir-UA, that boosts PD-L1 expression and converts "cold tumors" to "hot". Subsequently, we administered Ir-UA combined with anti-PD-L1 in mice, which effectively inhibited tumor growth and promoted CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration. To our knowledge, Ir-UA is the first iridium-based complex to stimulate the expression of PD-L1 by explicitly regulating its transcription factors, which not only provides a promising platform for immune checkpoint blockade but, more importantly, provides an effective treatment strategy for patients with low PD-L1 expression.

Abstract
Objectives: To assess the prognostic impact of the neoadjuvant rectal (NAR) score following neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy and consolidation chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), as well as its value in guiding decisions for adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: Between August 2015 and August 2018, patients were eligible from the STELLAR phase III trial (NCT02533271) who received short-course radiotherapy plus consolidation chemotherapy and for whom the NAR score could be calculated. Based on the NAR score, patients were categorized into low (<8), intermediate (8-16), and high (>16) groups. The Kaplan-Meier method, log rank tests, and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate the impact of the NAR score on disease-free survival (DFS). Results: Out of the 232 patients, 24.1%, 48.7%, and 27.2% had low (56 cases), intermediate (113 cases), and high NAR scores (63 cases), respectively. The median follow-up period was 37 months, with 3-year DFS rates of 87.3%, 68.3%, and 53.4% (P<0.001) for the low, intermediate, and high NAR score groups. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the NAR score (intermediate NAR score: HR, 3.10, 95% CI, 1.30-7.37, P=0.011; high NAR scores: HR=5.44, 95% CI, 2.26-13.09, P<0.001), resection status (HR, 3.00, 95% CI, 1.64-5.52, P<0.001), and adjuvant chemotherapy (HR, 3.25, 95% CI, 2.01-5.27, P<0.001) were independent prognostic factors for DFS. In patients with R0 resection, the 3-year DFS rates were 97.8% and 78.0% for those with low and intermediate NAR scores who received adjuvant chemotherapy, significantly higher than the 43.2% and 50.6% for those who did not (P<0.001, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in the 3-year DFS rate (54.2% vs 53.3%, P=0.214) among high NAR score patients, regardless of adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: The NAR score is a robust prognostic indicator in LARC following neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy and consolidation chemotherapy, with potential implications for subsequent decisions regarding adjuvant chemotherapy. These findings warrant further validation in studies with larger sample sizes.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive type of breast cancer, which owned severe resistance to platinum-based anticancer agents. Herein, we report a new metal-arene complex, Ru-TPE-PPh3, which can be synthesized in vitro and in living cells with copper catalyzed the cycloaddition reaction of Ru-azide and alkynyl (CuAAC). The complex Ru-TPE-PPh3 exhibited superior inhibition of the proliferation of TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells with an IC50 value of 4.0 μM. Ru-TPE-PPh3 could induce the over production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to initiate the oxidative stress, and further damage the mitochondria both functionally and morphologically, as loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and cutting the supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the disappearance of cristae structure. Moreover, the damaged mitochondria evoked the occurrence of mitophagy with the autophagic flux blockage and cell death. The complex Ru-TPE-PPh3 also demonstrated excellent anti-proliferative activity in 3D MDA-MB-231 multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTSs), indicating the potential to inhibit solid tumors in living cells. This study not only provided a potent agent for the TNBC treatment, but also demonstrated the universality of the bioorthogonally catalyzed lethality (BCL) strategy through CuAAC reation.

Abstract
According to the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) data, antibiotic resistance escalates more challenges in treatment against communicable diseases worldwide. Henceforth, the use of combinational antimicrobial therapy and metal-conjugated phytoconstituents composites are considered as alternatives. The present study explored the efficacy of mercuric-sulfide-based metallopharmaceutical, Sivanar Amirtham for anti-bacterial, anti-tuberculosis, anti-HIV therapeutics and toxicity profile by haemolytic assay, first of its kind. The anti-bacterial study was performed against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA: ATCC 43300), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA14) and Vibrio cholerae (MTCC 3905) by agar well diffusion assay, wherein the highest zone of inhibition was identified for MRSA (20.7 mm) and V. cholerae (34.3 mm) at 25 mg/mL. Furthermore, the anti-tuberculosis activity experimented by microtitre alamar blue assay against M. tuberculosis (ATCC 27294) demonstrated significant activity at the concentration range of 12.5-100 µg/mL. Additionally, the anti-HIV efficacy established by the syncytia inhibition method using C8166 cell lines infected with HIV-1IIIB, showed a significant therapeutic effect. The in-vitro toxicity assay proved Sivanar Amirtham to be non-haemolytic and haemocompatible. The physicochemical characterization studies revealed the nano-sized particles with different functional groups and the distinctive metal-mineral complex could be attributed to the multi-site targeting ability. The rationale evidence and scientific validation for the efficacy of Sivanar Amirtham ensures that it could be proposed as an alternative or adjuvant for both prophylactics and therapeutics to overcome HIV infection and antimicrobial resistance as well as the multi-drug resistance challenges.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To investigate the methodological and reporting quality of non-inferiority (NI)/equivalence trials of breast cancer radiotherapy and to provide suggestions for future NI/equivalence trials. MATERIALS/METHODS Prospective phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different radiation modalities in patients with breast cancer and designed or interpreted as NI/equivalence were identified in PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library. Two reviewers independently extracted data on trial characteristics, statistical design assumptions and analysis considerations, primary end point results and conclusions. The relationship between the number of published trials and the year of publication was assessed by simple linear regression. Trials with pre-specified NI margins as absolute risk differences were reevaluated using margins as relative risk differences. RESULTS A total of 1490 records were screened and 41 articles published between January 1, 2001 and May 9, 2022 were selected for full text review. A total of 21 trials were included (18 designed as NI and 3 as equivalence). Publication of these trials increased over time (p = 0.023). Trial interventions included dose fractionation (n = 10), partial/whole breast irradiation (n = 8) and tumor bed boost (n = 3). Eleven (52.4%) trials clearly described the non-efficacy benefits. The primary endpoints included 5-year local recurrence (LR) (n = 11), 5-year locoregional recurrence (n = 3), acute/late toxicities (n = 5), 2-year LR and cosmetic outcome (n = 1), and 10-year LR (n = 1). Only seven (33.3%) trials provided justification of the margins. The absolute and relative risk margins were both mentioned in nine (42.9%) trials' methods and reported in six (28.6%) trials' results. The analyzed populations were intention-to-treat (ITT) in 10, both ITT and per-protocol in 9 trials. Seventeen (81%) trials reported confidence interval (CI), with twelve reporting CI that agreed with the type I error used in sample size calculation, but only eight (38.1%) reported p value for NI/equivalence test. Fifteen (71.4%) trials concluded NI/equivalence. Five (23.8%) trials had misleading conclusions (four for not mentioning small sample size insufficient to confirm NI/equivalence and one for inconsistent with the published results). Thirteen (61.9%) trials reported that the protocol's initial accrual target was not met, with ten (47.6%) owing to overestimation of event rates. For trials that met NI only based on absolute margin, three of eight (37.5%) trials were classified as inconclusive with the assumed relative margins. CONCLUSION The use of NI/equivalence trials of breast cancer radiotherapy has dramatically increased recently, but there is substantial room for improvement in the methodological and reporting quality of NI/equivalence trials.

Abstract
Zn2+ is involved in various physiological and pathological processes in living systems. Monitoring the dynamic spatiotemporal changes of Zn2+ levels in organelles, cells, and in vivo is of great importance for the investigation of the physiological and pathological functions of Zn2+. However, this task is quite challenging since Zn2+ in living systems is present at low concentrations and undergoes rapid dynamic changes. In this review, we summarize the design and application of fluorescent probes for Zn2+ imaging in organelles, cells, and live organisms reported over the past two years. We aim to provide inspiration for the design of novel Zn2+ probes for multi-level monitoring and deepen the understanding of Zn2+ biology.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate and compare the outcomes of supraclavicular lymph node dissection (SLND) plus radiotherapy (RT) and RT alone for patients with synchronous ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis (sISLM). MATERIALS/METHODS In all, 293 patients with sISLM across three centers were included. Of these, 85 (29.0%) received SLND plus RT and 208 (71.0%) received RT alone. All patients received preoperative systemic therapy followed by mastectomy or lumpectomy and axillary dissection. Supraclavicular recurrence-free survival (SCRFS), locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox models. Multiple imputation was used for missing data. RESULTS The median follow-up duration of the RT and SLND+RT groups were 53.7 and 63.5 months, respectively. For the RT and SLND+RT groups, the 5-year SCRFS rates were 91.7% vs. 85.5% (P = 0.522), LRRFS rates were 79.1% vs. 73.1% (P = 0.412), DMFS rates were 60.4 vs. 58.8% (P = 0.708), DFS rates were 57.6% vs. 49.7% (P = 0.291), and OS rates were 71.9% vs. 62.2% (P = 0.272), respectively. There was no significant effect on any outcome when comparing SLND+RT versus RT alone in the multivariate analysis. Based on four risk factors of DFS, patients were classified into three risk groups: the intermediate- and high-risk groups had significantly lower survival outcomes than the low-risk group. SLND+RT did not improve outcomes of any risk group compared with RT alone. CONCLUSION Patients with sISLM may not benefit from SLND. Distant metastasis remained the major failure pattern, especially for intermediate- and high-risk groups with sISLM may not benefit from SLND. Distant metastasis remained the major failure pattern, especially for intermediate- and high-risk groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate the early cardiotoxicity of hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) in patients with left-sided breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery, and to investigate the correlation between cardiotoxicity and cardiac dose. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 103 women from 2017 to 2018 who received left-sided whole-breast with or without regional nodal irradiation either using deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) or free-breathing (FB) technique were prospectively enrolled. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), electrocardiogram, and radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging were conducted before and after HFRT. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association of cancer treatment, cardiac dose, and cardiovascular risk factors with cardiotoxic effects. RESULTS The mean dose (Dmean) of the heart, left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), left ventricular (LV), and right ventricular (RV) in all patients was 403 cGy, 1685 cGy, 627 cGy, and 444 cGy, respectively. In comparison to FB, DIBH significantly reduced cardiac dose (heart Dmean 250 cGy vs. 570 cGy, LAD Dmean 1250 cGy vs. 2170 cGy, LV Dmean 420 cGy vs. 850 cGy, RV Dmean 260 cGy vs. 650 cGy; all p<0.001). With a median follow-up of 49 months (range, 2-65 months), no patients had clinical cardiac abnormalities or cardiac-related symptoms, but 42 (41%) patients had subclinical cardiac events. Among them, 41 were electrocardiogram changes, and one had LV ejection fraction decreased by 10% compared with the baseline level. Twenty-five (60%) recovered during follow-up, of which 17 (40%) experienced subclinical changes only once. The mean value of NT-proBNP did not change significantly before and after HFRT. In univariate analyses, DIBH technique significantly decreased the risk of subclinical cardiac events compared with FB (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.14-0.71; p = 0.006); however, higher mean doses of heart and LV, anthracycline-based chemotherapy, obesity, and hypertension were associated with increased risk of subclinical cardiac events (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION Early subclinical cardiac damage after HFRT in left-sided breast cancer is dose-related, and mostly manageable and reversible without medical intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To study the feasibility and safety for patients with high-risk (HR) and very high-risk (VHR) prostate cancer treated with adaptive ultra-hypofractionated whole-pelvic radiotherapy (UHF-WPRT) on 1.5 magnetic resonance (MR)-Linac. MATERIALS/METHODS Sevenpatients with clinical stage T3a-4N0-1M0-1c consecutively treated with UHF-WPRT on a 1.5-T MR-Linac were recruited prospectively in a phase II trial (NCT05183074, ChiCTR2000033382). A 36.25 Gy dose in five fractions was delivered every other day with a boost of 40 Gy to the whole prostate, as well as 25 Gy to whole pelvic nodal area with a concomitant boost of 35 Gy to metastatic regional nodes. To estimate the delivered dose, we collected data by 3D-MR for the following stages: pre-MR, position verification-MR (PV-MR) in the Adapt-To-Shape (ATS) workflow, and 3D-MR during the beam-on phase (Bn-MR) and at the end of RT (post-MR). The target and organ-at-risk contours in the PV-MR, Bn-MR, and post-MR stages were projected from the pre-MR data by deformable image registration and manually adapted by the physician, followed by dose recalculation for the ATS plan. The cumulative acute genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities were evaluated as per NCI-CTCAE 5.0 criteria. The primary endpoints were acute ≥grade 3 genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities during the first 3 months. RESULTS Overall, 133 MR scans were collected (35 pre-MR, 35 PV-MR, 31 Bn-MR and 32 post-MR scans). With a median on-couch time of 61 minutes, the mean prostate and pelvic planning target volume (PTV)-V95% of all scans was 96.98 ± 3.06% and 96.44 ± 2.85%, respectively. The corresponding mean prostate clinical target volume (CTV)-V100% was 99.89 ± 0.32%, 98.71 ± 1.90%, 97.77 ± 2.89%, and 98.56 ± 1.72%, and the mean pelvic CTV-V100% was 97.57% ± 3.70%, 96.54 ± 3.80%, 95.43 ± 4.31%, and 94.39 ± 4.47% on pre-MR, PV-MR, Bn-MR and post-MR scans, respectively. For the 4 patients with positive nodes, the mean V100% of metastatic regional nodes was 99.89 ± 0.81%. The median V29 Gy change in the rectal wall was -1% (-18%-20%). The V29 Gy of the rectal wall increased by >15% was observed in one scan. A slight increase in the high dose of bladder wall was noted due to gradual bladder growth during the workflow. With median follow-up time of 7.3 (4.6-12.2) months, all patients were followed-up for more than 3 months. No patient was observed with acute CTCAE grade 2 or more severe GU or GI toxicities (0%). CONCLUSION UHF-RT to prostate and pelvic with ATS workflow is well tolerated by patients with HR and VHR prostate cancer, with only mild GU and GI toxicities. The 3D-MR-based dosimetry analysis demonstrated clinically acceptable estimated dose coverage of target volumes during the beam-on period.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is associated with poor prognosis in solid tumors. This study aimed to describe the lymphocyte kinetics in patients with breast cancer receiving hypofractionated postmastectomy radiotherapy (RT) and to investigate the association of different RT techniques with RIL. MATERIALS/METHODS We assessed 607 patients who received hypofractionated postmastectomy RT for breast cancer in our prospective clinical database from 8 hospitals. All patients received irradiation to the chest wall and supraclavicular fossa. RT techniques included integrated RT with the photon-based intensity modulated techniques to irradiate all target volumes (integrated RT) and a hybrid approach combining photon irradiation to supraclavicular nodes and electron irradiation to the chest wall (hybrid RT). Peripheral lymphocyte counts (PLC) were tested prior to RT (baseline), weekly during RT, at 1, 2 weeks, 3, 6 months after RT, and then every 6 months. Grade 3+ RIL was defined as PLC nadir during RT of <0.5 ×103/ml. Mean PLC was compared by the t test. Univariate, multivariate, and propensity score matching (PSM) analyses were used to evaluate the effect of different RT techniques on grade 3+ RIL. RESULTS During RT, 121 (19.9%) of patients had grade 3+ RIL. The PLC started to recover at 1 week and reached baseline levels 1 year after RT. A greater proportion of the patients treated with the integrated RT (90/269, 33.5%) developed grade 3+ PLC compared with those receiving hybrid RT (31/338, 9.2%, P < 0.001). After conducting PSM, multivariate analyses showed lower baseline PLC (HR = 0.15, P<0.001) and RT technique (the integrated RT vs. hybrid RT, HR = 4.76, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for grade 3+ RIL. The PLC in patients receiving the integrated RT after RT were higher than that in those receiving hybrid RT (p<0.05). CONCLUSION RT technique affect the risk of and recovery from RIL, which may impact survival. Choosing appropriate RT technique to minimize RIL might be considered to benefit their outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation esophagitis (RE) is often overlooked in breast cancer radiotherapy. This study aimed to assess the incidence and dose-volume predictors of RE in breast cancer patients undergoing hypofractionated regional nodal irradiation (RNI). MATERIALS/METHODS Eligible patients were included who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (RT) at the chest wall, the supraclavicular/infraclavicular fossa, level II axilla, and/or the internal mammary chain after mastectomy. The prescribed dose was 43.5 Gy in 15 fractions. The dose constraint for the esophagus was maximum dose <48 Gy. RE was evaluated weekly during RT and at 1 and 2 weeks, followed by 3 and 6 months after RT, and was graded according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0. The esophagus was contoured from the lower border level of the cricoid cartilage to the lower margin of the aortic arch. Esophageal total volume, mean dose (Dmean), maximum dose (Dmax), and the relative and absolute volumes receiving at least 5-45 Gy by 5 Gy increments (RV5-RV45 and AV5-AV45) were evaluated. Univariable and multivariable logistics regression analyses were performed to determine risk factors for RE, and receiver operating characteristic curves were obtained to identify the thresholds of esophageal dosimetric parameters. RESULTS In total, 298 patients were included between May 8, 2020 and January 5, 2022 (minimum post-RT follow-up: 6 months). A total of 153 (51.3%) patients had left-sided breast cancer and 145 (48.7%) patients received internal mammary nodal irradiation (IMNI). Grade 2 and 3 RE incidence was 40.9% (122/298) and 0.3% (1/298), respectively. No grade 4 or 5 RE was observed. All RE cases resolved within 1 month after RT, and the median duration of RE was 3 weeks (range, 1-5). Based on univariable analyses, tumor laterality (p < .001), IMNI (p = .056) and esophageal Dmean, Dmax, RV10-RV40, and AV10-AV40 were risk factors of ≥grade 2 RE. Esophageal RV10-RV40 and AV35-AV40 were significantly associated with the risk of ≥grade 2 RE after adjusting for tumor laterality and IMNI. Based on multivariable analyses, RV25 and AV35 were optimum dose-volume predictors for ≥grade 2 RE at thresholds 20% for RV25 (35.9% vs. 60.9%, p = .04) and 0.27 mL for AV35 (31.0% vs. 54.6%, p = .04). CONCLUSION RE is common in breast cancer patients undergoing hypofractionated RNI. With the same esophageal contouring standard, maintaining the upper esophageal V25 at <20% and V35 at <0.27 mL may decrease the risk of RE and improve the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To report the planning dummy run results of the POstmastectomy radioThErapy in Node posiTive breast cancer with or without Internal mAmmary nodaL irradiation (POTENTIAL) trial-a multicenter, randomized, phase 3 trial-to evaluate postmastectomy radiotherapy, with or without internal mammary nodal irradiation, for patients with high-risk breast cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS All participating institutions were provided the contours of the dummy run case, and they generated radiotherapy (RT) plans per protocol guidelines. The plans were reviewed and feedback were provided by the quality assurance team, after which the institutions resubmitted revised plans. The information on beams arrangement, skin flash, inhomogeneity corrections, and protocol compliance was assessed both in the primary and final submission. RESULTS Theplans from 26 institutions were included in the analysis. A number of major deviations were found in the primary submission, such as less strict constraint on organs at risk (OARs) V5Gy, and no application of chest wall skin flash. The protocol compliance rates of the dose coverage for the planning target volume of the chest wall (PTVcw), PTV of supra/infraclavicular fossa plus axilla levels I, II, III (PTVsc+ax), and PTV of the IMN region (PTVim) were all significantly improved in the final submission compared with those in the primary submission, which were 96.2% vs. 69.2%, 100% vs. 76.9%, and 88.4% vs. 53.8, respectively. For OARs, the protocol compliance rates of heart Dmean, left anterior descending coronary artery V40Gy, ipsilateral lung V5Gy, and stomach V5Gy were significantly improved. CONCLUSION All major deviations were corrected and protocol compliance was significantly improved and of high level in the final submission. Moreover, the variations were reduced. Therefore, a planning dummy run was essential to guarantee good RT plan quality and inter-institutional consistency for multicenter trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We reported 10-year outcomes of localized prostate cancers treated with hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy of 45 Gy in 9 consecutive fractions. MATERIALS/METHODS From October 2011 to April 2017, thirty patients with localized prostate cancer were enrolled in this prospective trial. The median age of the patients was 72.5 years. According to NCCN recurrence risk criteria, eight patients were at low-risk group, 17 at intermediate risk group, 5 at high-risk group. All patients were treated with hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of 45 Gy in 9 consecutive fractions to their prostate with or without seminal vesicles. Before radiotherapy, three gold fiducials were implanted into the prostate. In order to reduce the rectal high dose irradiation volume, an inflated rectal balloon was placed in the rectum at simulation and every treatment and patients were treated with comfortable full bladder. Static Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIMRT) was applied in 1 patient, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) in 27 patients, and tomotherapy in 2 patients. Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with gold fiducial registration was adopted. Twenty-six patients also received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The median time of ADT was 6 months. Progression⁃free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. All grade ≥1 genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities were recorded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event version 5.0 (CTCAE 5.0) and Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) late morbidity criteria, and GU and GI toxicities were cumulatively calculated. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 102 months (65∼131 months), the 10-year OS was 90.0% (95% confidence interval, 83.3%-96.7%), and the 10-year PFS was 86.5% (95% confidence interval, 79.1%-93.9%). According to CTCAE 5.0, grade 1 acute gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity developed in 12 patients, grade 2 in 2 patients, grade 3 in 2 patients, and grade 1 acute genitourinary (GU) toxicity developed in 12 patients, grade 2 in 2 patients, and no grade 3 or higher toxicity occurred. According to RTOG late morbidity criteria, late (≥3 months after radiotherapy) grade 1 GI toxicity developed in 4 patients (13.3%), grade 2 in 1 (3.3%), grade 3 in 1 (3.3%), and late grade 1 GU toxicity occurred in 1 patient (3.3%), grade 2 in 1 (3.3%), grade 3 in 1 (3.3%). No grade 4 or higher GI and GU toxicities developed. Only one grade 3 GI and one grade 2 GU toxicities were observed for the maximum toxicity at the last follow-up. The potency was not evaluated. CONCLUSION The 10-year oncologic outcomes of this shortened hypofractionated IMRT regimen for mainly low/intermediate risk prostate cancer patients is favorable with acceptable acute and late toxicities.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles integrating accurate multi-diagnosis and efficient therapy hold great prospects in tumor theranostics. However, it is still a challenging task to develop multifunctional nanoparticles for imaging-guided effective eradication of tumors. Herein, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) organic agent Aza/I-BDP by coupling 2,6-diiodo-dipyrromethene (2,6-diiodo-BODIPY) with aza-boron-dipyrromethene (Aza-BODIPY). Through encapsulating with an amphiphilic biocompatible copolymer DSPE-mPEG5000, well-distributed Aza/I-BDP nanoparticles (NPs) were developed, which exhibited high 1O2 generation, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and excellent photo-stability. Notably, coassembly of Aza/I-BDP and DSPE-mPEG5000 effectively inhibits H-aggregation of Aza/I-BDP in aqueous solution and enhances the brightness simultaneously up to 31-fold. More importantly, in vivo experiments demonstrated that Aza/I-BDP NPs might be used for NIR fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging-guided photodynamic and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Nutritional therapy plays an important role in the treatment of severe burns. With the deepening understanding of metabolic patterns and body responses after severe burns, the concepts and measures of nutritional therapy are also constantly developing and improving. Permissive hypocaloric nutrition is a nutritional management approach for critically ill patients, which generally refers to a nutritional administration method in which energy intake is lower than 70% of caloric requirement. This article aims to review the metabolic characteristics after severe burns, as well as the implementation timing, duration, target calories, and nutritional content of permissive hypocaloric nutrition, in order to provide reference for clinical decision-making by clinical physicians, improve the efficacy of nutritional treatment for severe burn patients, and improve patients' prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the recurrence pattern of rectal cancer patients with radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Methods: The clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up information of rectal cancer patients with radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2004 to December 2017 were retrospectively collected. The recurrence pattern including the time and site was investigated. Results: The age of 537 patients was (55.5±11.7) years, of whom 361 were male (67.2%). The median follow-up time [M(Q1,Q3)] was 77.9 (64.5, 95.6) months. Moreover, 30.7% (165/537) of patients had distant metastasis or local recurrence; 26.8% (144/537) of patients had distant metastasis; 5.6% (30/537) of patients had local recurrence; 1.7% (9/537) of patients had both distant metastasis and local recurrence. In all the recurrent patients, 23.6% (39/165) were in the first year after surgery, followed by 27.3% (45/165) in the second year, 17.0% (28/165) in the third year, and 15.8% (26/165) after five years. According to the risk curve drawn by the life table, the highest metastasis risk of patients occurred in the second year after surgery, and the metastasis risk peak occurred again after more than five years. The lung was the most common metastatic organ, accounting for 47.9% (69/144), followed by the liver (18.8%, 27/144). The ratios of the recurrent patients in each ypTNM stage were 9.5% (8/84), 12.0% (12/100), 26.5% (41/155), 52.5% (104/198), respectively. The proportion of recurrent patients in tumor regression grade (TRG) 1-2 and TRG 3-5 patients were 19.2% (38/198) and 37.5% (127/339), respectively. Conclusions: The recurrence pattern of patients undergoing radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is mainly distant metastasis. The lung is the primary metastatic organ. The risk of distant metastasis and local recurrence is high in the first three years after surgery, and there is still high risk of recurrence after five years. For patients with ypTNM stage 2, 3 and TRG3-5, the postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and long-term follow-up should be strengthened.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological factors affecting long-term disease-free survival and the characteristics of local recurrence or distance metastasis of rectal cancer patients with complete pathological response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Methods: The clinicopathological data and follow-up information of patients with a complete pathological response of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2004 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. The clinicopathological factors affecting the long-term disease-free survival of patients were analyzed to build a prediction model of local recurrence and distant metastasis and to evaluate the benefits of postoperative chemotherapy. Results: The age of 108 patients was(56.3±11.6) years, of which 68 were males (63.0%); The median follow-up time was 79.9 (61.8, 112.6) months. There were 12 patients (11.1%) who had a local recurrence or distant metastasis. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 91.1% with 9 patients who experienced recurrence. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the residual tumor or scar (HR=8.41, 95%CI: 1.08-65.22, P=0.042) and the distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal margin before treatment (HR=4.54, 95%CI: 1.23-16.81, P=0.023) were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis. The prognosis of patients was stratified based on relevant factors. The 5-year cumulative disease-free survival rate of those patients receiving postoperative standardized chemotherapy was 92.0%, while for patients who did not receive or complete standardized chemotherapy, the 5-year cumulative disease-free survival rate was 82.3%. Conclusions: The maximum diameter of the residual tumor or scar and the distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal margin before treatment were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with a complete pathological response. Patients with independent risk factors could benefit from the standardized postoperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
Objective: Retrospective analysis of the efficacy and influencing factors of bladder preservation integrated therapy for unresectable invasive bladder cancer confined to the pelvis was done, also including the bladder function preservation and adverse effects analysis. Methods: Sixty-nine patients with unresectable locally invasive bladder cancer who received radiotherapy-based combination therapy from March 1999 to December 2021 at our hospital were selected. Among them, 42 patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, 32 underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapyand 43 with transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) prior to radiotherapy. The late adverse effect of radiotherapy, preservation of bladder function, replase and metastasis and survival were followed-up. Cox proportional hazards models were applied for the multifactorial analysis. Results: The median age was 69 years. There were 63 cases (91.3%) of uroepithelial carcinoma, 64 of stage Ⅲ and 4 of stage Ⅳ. The median duration of follow-up was 76 months. There were 7 grade 2 late genito urinary toxicities, 2 grade 2 gastrointestinal toxicities, no grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred. All patients maintained normal bladder function, except for 8 cases who lost bladder function due to uncontrolled tumor in the bladder. Seventeen cases recurred locally. There were 11 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 26.2% (11/42) and 6 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 22.2% (6/27), and the difference in local recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.709). There were 23 cases of distant metastasis (including 2 cases of local recurrence with distant metastasis), including 10 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 23.8% (10/42) and 13 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 48.1% (13/27), and the distant metastasis rate in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group was higher than that in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (P=0.036). The median 5-year overall survival (OS) time was 59 months and the OS rate was 47.8%. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) time was 20 months and the PFS rate was 34.4%. The 5-year OS rates of concurrent and non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group were 62.9% and 27.6% (P<0.001), and 5-year PFS rates were 45.4% and 20.0%, respectively (P=0.022). The 5-year OS rates of with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy were 78.4% and 30.1% (P=0.002), and the 5-year PFS rates were 49.1% and 25.1% (P=0.087), respectively. The 5-year OS rates with or without TURBT before radiotherapy were 45.5% and 51.9% (P=0.233) and the 5-year PFS rates were 30.8% and 39.9% (P=0.198), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the clinical stage (HR=0.422, 95% CI: 0.205-0.869) was independent prognostic factor for PFS of invasive bladder cancer. The multivariate analysis showed that clinical stages (HR=0.278, 95% CI: 0.114-0.678), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (HR=0.391, 95% CI: 0.165-0.930), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.188, 95% CI: 0.058-0.611), and recurrences (HR=10.855, 95% CI: 3.655-32.638) were independent prognostic factors for OS of invasive bladder cancer. Conclusion: Unresectable localized invasive bladder cancer can achieve satisfactory long-term outcomes with bladder-preserving combination therapy based on radiotherapy, most patients can retain normal bladder function with acceptable late adverse effects and improved survival particularly evident in patients with early, concurrent chemoradiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Some important biological species and microenvironments maintain a complex and delicate dynamic balance in life systems, participating in the regulation of various physiological processes and playing indispensable roles in maintaining the healthy development of living bodies. Disruption of their homeostasis in living organisms can cause various diseases and even death. Therefore, real time monitoring of these biological species and microenvironments during different physiological and pathological processes is of great significance. Fluorescent-probe-based techniques have been recognized as one of the most powerful tools for real time imaging in biological samples. In this Account, we introduce the representative works from our group in the field of fluorescent probes for biological imaging capable of detecting metal ions, small bioactive molecules, and the microenvironment. The design strategies of small molecule fluorescent probes and their applications in biological imaging will be discussed. By regulating the design strategy and mechanism (e.g., ICT, PeT, and FRET) of the electronic and spectral characteristics of the fluorescent platforms, these chemical probes show high selectivity and diverse functions, which can be used for imaging of various physiological and pathological processes. Through the exploration of the rational response mechanism and design strategy, combined with a variety of imaging techniques, such as super-resolution imaging, photoacoustic (PA) imaging, etc., we have realized multimode imaging of the important biological analytes from the subcellular level to the in vivo level, which provides powerful means to study the physiological and pathological functions of these species and microenvironments. This Account aims to offer insights and inspiration for the development of novel fluorescent probes for biological imaging, which could provide powerful tools for the study of chemical biology. Overall, we represent a series of turn-on/turn-off/ratiometric fluorescent/PA probes to visually and dynamically trace biological species and microenvironments in cells and even in vivo that seek higher resolution and depth molecular imaging to improve diagnostic methods and clarify new discoveries related to chemical biology. Our future efforts will be devoted to developing multiorganelle targeted fluorescent probes to study the mechanism of subcellular organelle interaction and employing various dual-mode probes of NIR II and PA imaging to investigate the development of related diseases and treat the related diseases at subcellular and in vivo levels.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum's (ER) dynamic nature, essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, can be influenced by stress-induced damage, which can be assessed by examining the morphology of ER dynamics and, more locally, ER properties such as hydrophobicity, viscosity, and polarity. Although numerous ER-specific chemical probes have been developed to monitor the ER's physical and chemical parameters, the quantitative detection and super-resolution imaging of its local hydrophobicity have yet to be explored. Here, we describe a photostable ER-targeted probe with high signal-to-noise ratio for super-resolution imaging that can specifically respond to changes in ER hydrophobicity under stress based on a "reserve-release" mechanism. The probe shows an excellent ability to target ER over commercial ER dyes and can be used to track local changes of hydrophobicity by fluorescence intensity and morphology during the selective autophagy of ER (i.e., reticulophagy). By correlating the level and location of ER damage with the distribution of fluorescence intensity, we were able to assess reticulophagy at the subcellular level. Beyond that, we developed a topological analytical tool adaptable to any ER probe for detecting structural changes in ER and thus quantitatively identifying reticulophagy. The algorithm-assisted tool can also be adapted to a wide range of molecular probes and organelles. Altogether, the new probe and analytical strategy described here show promise for the quantitative detection and analysis of subtle ER damage and stress.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is of great importance in physiological and pathological processes, which is associated with various inflammation-related diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer. Ferroptosis can cause abnormal change of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria. Hypochlorous acid (HClO) acts as a typical ROS. Therefore, it is needed to study the relationship between mitochondrial morphology and HClO changes during ferroptosis at the subcellular level. To this end, a near-infrared-excitation/emission fluorescent probe, HD-Br-1, for rapid detection of mitochondrial HClO was developed based on the specific oxidative cleavage of the N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate moiety. The fluctuation in mitochondrial HClO content and the change in mitochondrial morphology during ferroptosis were monitored in real time by super-resolution imaging. In addition, HD-Br-1 was successfully applied to monitor exogenous and endogenous mitochondrial HClO during cell ferroptosis and visualize tumor to discriminate from healthy tissues. Therefore, we believe that HD-Br-1 could provide a valuable approach for the detection of mitochondrial HClO in cancer cells as well as for understanding the ferroptosis mechanism and early diagnosis of cancers associated with ferroptosis for future research.

Abstract
Rapid bioactive ion exchange is a form of communication that regulates a wide range of biological processes. Despite advances in super-resolution optical microscopy, visualizing ion exchange remains challenging due to the extremely fast nature of these events. Here, a "converting a dynamic event into a static image construction" (CDtSC) strategy is developed that uses the color transformation of a single dichromatic molecular probe to visualize bioactive ion inter-organelle exchange in live cells. As a proof of concept, a reactive sulfur species (RSS) is analyzed at the mitochondria-lysosome contact sites (MLCs). A non-toxic and sensitive probe based on coumarin-hemicyanine structure is designed that responds to RSS localized in both mitochondria and lysosomes while fluorescing different colors. Using this probe, RSS give-and-take at MLCs is visualized, thus providing the first evidence that RSS is involved in inter-organelle contacts and communication. Taken together, the CDtSC provides a strategy to visualize and analyze rapid inter-organelle ion exchange events in live cells at nanometer resolution.

Abstract
Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles whose fragmentation by fission is critical to their functional integrity and cellular homeostasis. Here, we develop a method via optogenetic control of mitochondria–lysosome contacts (MLCs) to induce mitochondrial fission with spatiotemporal accuracy. MLCs can be achieved by blue-light-induced association of mitochondria and lysosomes through various photoactivatable dimerizers. Real-time optogenetic induction of mitochondrial fission is tracked in living cells to measure the fission rate. The optogenetic method partially restores the mitochondrial functions of SLC25A46−/− cells, which display defects in mitochondrial fission and hyperfused mitochondria. The optogenetic MLCs system thus provides a platform for studying mitochondrial fission and treating mitochondrial diseases. Existing methods can lack spatiotemporal accuracy to manipulate dynamic mitochondrial behaviour in live cells. Here the authors report an optogenetic method to control mitochondria-lysosome contacts and induce mitochondrial fission; they use photoactivatable dimerizers including CRY2/CIB and SspB/iLID.

Abstract
In a recent paper (https://doi.org/10.1039/D1NR02816B), we suggested that Zn can assume a +3-oxidation state when interacting with super-electrophilic clusters, BeB11(CN)12 and BeB23(CN)22. In a comment to our paper (https://doi.org/10.1039/D1NR07031B), Shang et al. have questioned this suggestion. Using density functional theory with the TPSSh functional and def2-SVP basis sets in the Gaussian16 software and semiempirical localized orbital bonding analysis (LOBA), the authors have made three major claims: (1) the oxidation state of Zn in Zn[BeB11(CN)12] and Zn[BeB23(CN)22] is +2; (2) electron affinities are not reliable to probe the oxidation states; and (3) our results are "misleading" because these are based on the VASP code. According to these authors, VASP is not suitable for small clusters because it uses projected augmented wave (PAW) pseudopotentials. In the following, we show that these claims are invalid, caused by both misunderstanding and the authors' use of a lower-level theory.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main storage site of Zn2+, and Zn2+ plays an important role in regulating ER homeostasis. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a ratiometric fluorescent Zn2+ probe ER-Zn targeting ER stress. The probe displayed a specific Zn2+ induced blue shift at the spectral maximum values of excitation (80 nm) and emission (30 nm). The ratio imaging capability of Zn2+ under dual excitation mode can be applied not only to quantitative and reversible detection of exogenous Zn2+, but also the observation of the Zn2+ level change under ER stress, elucidating the different behaviors of Zn2+ release in ER stimulated by tunicamycin and thapsigargin. Additionally, the NIR imaging capability of ER-Zn provides an important basis for further research on animal models and is expected to realize the visualization and treatment of ER stress-related diseases through the regulation of ER stress by Zn2+. We envision that this probe can be applied to screen drugs for diseases related to ER stress regulation.

Abstract
Platinum-based photosensitizers are promising anticancer agents in photodynamic therapy. The cytotoxic effects primarily arise from the production of singlet oxygen and platination of DNA. However, their efficacy is limited by drug resistance and hypoxic tumor microenvironment. A naphthalimide-modified cyclometalated platinum(II) complex PtPAN [PA = N-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)picolinamide, N = N-(2'-ethylhexyl)-4-ethynyl-1,8-naphthalimide] is designed to conquer these problems. PtPAN generates ROS efficiently under both normoxia and hypoxia. It does not interact with DNA and shows low cytotoxicity in the dark, while it kills tumor cells via ROS under near-infrared light irradiation; moreover, it inhibits tumor growth in mice at a low light dose with negligible side effects. PtPAN is the first reported platinum-based photosensitizer that is unreactive to DNA in the dark but highly cytotoxic upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation for oxygen-independent photodynamic therapy. Owing to its two-photon excitation property (λ = 825 nm), PtPAN may be suitable for the treatment of deep solid tumors.

Abstract
Background. Twelve lead ECGs are a core diagnostic tool for cardiovascular diseases. Here, we describe and analyse an ensemble deep neural network architecture to classify 24 cardiac abnormalities from 12 lead ECGs.Method. We proposed a squeeze and excite ResNet to automatically learn deep features from 12-lead ECGs, in order to identify 24 cardiac conditions. The deep features were augmented with age and gender features in the final fully connected layers. Output thresholds for each class were set using a constrained grid search. To determine why the model made incorrect predictions, two expert clinicians independently interpreted a random set of 100 misclassified ECGs concerning left axis deviation.Results. Using the bespoke weighted accuracy metric, we achieved a 5-fold cross-validation score of 0.684, and sensitivity and specificity of 0.758 and 0.969, respectively. We scored 0.520 on the full test data, and ranked 2nd out of 41 in the official challenge rankings. On a random set of misclassified ECGs, agreement between two clinicians and training labels was poor (clinician 1:κ= -0.057, clinician 2:κ= -0.159). In contrast, agreement between the clinicians was very high (κ= 0.92).Discussion. The proposed prediction model performed well on the validation and hidden test data in comparison to models trained on the same data. We also discovered considerable inconsistency in training labels, which is likely to hinder development of more accurate models.

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
Objective: To screen and analyze the key differentially expressed genes characteristics in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with bioinformatics method. Methods: NAFLD-related expression matrix GSE89632 was downloaded from the GEO database. Limma package was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in healthy, steatosis (SS), and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) samples. WGCNA was used to analyze the output gene module. The intersection of module genes and differential genes was used to determine the differential genes characteristic, and then GO function and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed using the online website STRING and Cytoscape software, and the key (Hub) genes were screened. Finally, R software was used to analyze the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the Hub gene. Results: 92 differentially expressed genes characteristic were obtained through screening, which were mainly enriched in inflammatory response-related functions of "lipopolysaccharide response and molecular response of bacterial origin", as well as cancer signaling pathways of "proteoglycan in cancer" and "T-cell leukemia virus infection-related". 10 hub genes (FOS, CXCL8, SERPINE1, CYR61, THBS1, FOSL1, CCL2, MYC, SOCS3 and ATF3) had good diagnostic value. Conclusion: The differentially expressed hub genes among the 10 NAFLD disease-related characteristics obtained with bioinformatics analysis may become a diagnostic and prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for NAFLD. However, further basic and clinical studies are needed to validate.

Abstract
Excessive emission of greenhouse gases is the most important reason for global warming. Severe climate change significantly threatens human health. World Health Organization estimated that 12.6 million deaths were attributable to modifiable environmental factors and climate change would lead to 0.25 million deaths annually during 2030-2050. All countries in the world try to reduce greenhouse gas emission to mitigate adverse impacts of climate change by following the Paris Agreement, through setting goals and measures of carbon peak, and carbon neutrality. China plays a very important role in the campaign of global Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality. Climate change is also a global health emergency, and Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality will be a strategic opportunity for China's health system. The goals of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality are harmonized with those of China's health system, both aiming to provide high-quality health security for all Chinese people. China's health system should try to not only reduce its own carbon footprints, but also make significant contributions to the global Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality campaign.

Abstract
Natural small molecules derived from plants have fascinated scientists for centuries due to their practical applications in various fields, especially in nanomedicine. Some of the natural molecules were found to show intrinsic optical features such as fluorescence emission and photosensitization, which could be beneficial to provide spatial temporal information and help tracking the drugs in biological systems. Much efforts have been devoted to the investigation of optical properties and practical applications of natural molecules. In this review, optical properties of natural small molecules and their applications in fluorescence imaging, and theranostics will be summarized. First, we will introduce natural small molecules with different fluorescence emission, ranging from blue to near infrared emission. Second, imaging applications in biological samples will be covered. Third, we will discuss the applications of theranostic nanomedicines or drug delivering systems containing fluorescent natural molecules acting as imaging agents or photosensitizers. Finally, future perspectives in this field will be discussed.
