Abstract
Fiber film have received widespread attention due to its green friendliness. We can use microorganisms to degrade lignin in straw to obtain cellulose and make fiber films. Herein, a group of high-temperature (50 °C) lignin degrading bacterial consortium (LDH) was enriched and culture conditions for lignin degradation were optimized. Combined with high-throughput sequencing technology, the synergistic effect of LDH-composited bacteria was analyzed. Then LDH was used to treat rice straw for the bio-pulping experiment. The results showed that the lignin of rice straw was degraded 32.4 % by LDH at 50 °C for 10 d, and after the optimization of culture conditions, lignin degradation rate increased by 9.05 % (P < 0.001). The bacteria that compose in LDH can synergistically degrade lignin. Paenibacillus can encode all lignin-degrading enzymes present in the LDH. Preliminary tests of LDH in the pulping industry have been completed. This study is the first to use high temperature lignin degrading bacteria to fabricate fiber film.

Abstract
Rieske nonheme iron aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenases (RHOs) play pivotal roles in determining the substrate preferences of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degraders. However, their potential to degrade high molecular weight PAHs (HMW-PAHs) has been relatively unexplored. NarA2B2 is an RHO derived from a thermophilic Hydrogenibacillus sp. strain N12. In this study, we have identified four "hotspot" residues (V236, Y300, W316, and L375) that may hinder the catalytic capacity of NarA2B2 when it comes to HMW-PAHs. By employing structure-guided rational enzyme engineering, we successfully modified NarA2B2, resulting in NarA2B2 variants capable of catalyzing the degradation of six different types of HMW-PAHs, including pyrene, fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, and benzo[a]pyrene. Three representative variants, NarA2B2W316I, NarA2B2Y300F-W316I, and NarA2B2V236A-W316I-L375F, not only maintain their abilities to degrade low molecular weight PAHs (LMW-PAHs), but also exhibited 2-4 times higher degradation efficiency for HMW-PAHs in comparison to another isozyme, NarAaAb. Computational analysis of the NarA2B2 variants predict that these modifications altering the size and hydrophobicity of the active site pocket making it more suitable for HMW-PAHs. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between three-dimensional structure and functionality, thereby opening up possibilities for designing improved RHOs that can be more effectively used in the bioremediation of PAHs.

Abstract
Human activities have led to the release of various environmental pollutants, triggering ecological challenges. In situ, microbial communities in these contaminated environments are usually assumed to possess the potential capacity of pollutant degradation. However, the majority of genes and microorganisms in these environments remain uncharacterized and uncultured. The advent of meta-omics provided culture-independent solutions for exploring the functional genes and microorganisms within complex microbial communities. In this review, we highlight the applications and methodologies of meta-omics in uncovering of genes and microbes from contaminated environments. These findings may assist in future bioremediation research.

Abstract
A large amount of agricultural waste causes global environmental pollution. Biogas production by microbial pretreatment is an important way to utilize agricultural waste resources. In this study, Sporocytophaga CG-1 (A, cellulolytic strain) was co-cultured with Bacillus clausii HP-1 (B, non-cellulolytic strain) to analyze the effect of pretreatment of rice straw on methanogenic capacity of anaerobic digestion (AD). The results showed that weight loss rate of filter paper of co-culture combination is 53.38%, which is 29.37% higher than that of A. The synergistic effect of B on A can promote its degradation of cellulose. The cumulative methane production rate of the co-culture combination was the highest (93.04 mL/g VS substrate), which was significantly higher than that of A, B and the control group (82.38, 67.28 and 67.70 mL/g VS substrate). Auxiliary bacteria can improve cellulose degradation rate by promoting secondary product metabolism. These results provide data support for the application of co-culture strategies in the field of anaerobic digestion practices.

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
Flavoprotein monooxygenases catalyze reactions, including hydroxylation and epoxidation, involved in the catabolism, detoxification, and biosynthesis of natural substrates and industrial contaminants. Among them, the 6-hydroxy-3-succinoyl-pyridine (HSP) monooxygenase (HspB) from Pseudomonas putida S16 facilitates the hydroxylation and C-C bond cleavage of the pyridine ring in nicotine. However, the mechanism for biodegradation remains elusive. Here, we refined the crystal structure of HspB and elucidated the detailed mechanism behind the oxidative hydroxylation and C-C cleavage processes. Leveraging structural information about domains for binding the cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and HSP substrate, we used molecular dynamics simulations and quantum/molecular mechanics calculations to demonstrate that the transfer of an oxygen atom from the reactive FAD peroxide species (C4a-hydroperoxyflavin) to the C3 atom in the HSP substrate constitutes a rate-limiting step, with a calculated reaction barrier of about 20 kcal/mol. Subsequently, the hydrogen atom was rebounded to the FAD cofactor, forming C4a-hydroxyflavin. The residue Cys218 then catalyzed the subsequent hydrolytic process of C-C cleavage. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the versatile functions of flavoproteins in the natural transformation of pyridine and HspB in nicotine degradation.IMPORTANCEPseudomonas putida S16 plays a pivotal role in degrading nicotine, a toxic pyridine derivative that poses significant environmental challenges. This study highlights a key enzyme, HspB (6-hydroxy-3-succinoyl-pyridine monooxygenase), in breaking down nicotine through the pyrrolidine pathway. Utilizing dioxygen and a flavin adenine dinucleotide cofactor, HspB hydroxylates and cleaves the substrate's side chain. Structural analysis of the refined HspB crystal structure, combined with state-of-the-art computations, reveals its distinctive mechanism. The crucial function of Cys218 was never discovered in its homologous enzymes. Our findings not only deepen our understanding of bacterial nicotine degradation but also open avenues for applications in both environmental cleanup and pharmaceutical development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) dysfunction is involved in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) strain imaging is a feasible and reproducible tool for examining global and regional LA functions, as well as left ventricular (LV) function in IIM patients. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and reproducibility of LA strain occurrence and strain rate for LA function assessment using CMR in IIM cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 IIM and 42 healthy control cases were included. Baseline ventricular function was comparatively assessed in both groups. LA strain occurrence and strain rate were examined by cine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] utilizing an in-house semiautomated technique. LA global function indexes were quantitated, including reservoir, conduit, and booster-pump functions. RESULTS A total of 78 participants were enrolled in this study. There was no significant difference in left/right ventricular routine functions between IIM patients and control individuals (p>0.05); the same results (p>0.05) was also observed between patients with high hs-cTnI and normal. However, LV mass index had significant difference (p1=0.003, p2<0.01). Compared with IIM patients and control individuals, only total strain (εs) (p4=0.046) and passive strain (εe) (p4=0.002) showed significant difference, and in cases with high hs-cTnI and normal hs-cTnI, there are differences for εs (p3=0.012) and εe (p4=0.047). The strongest association was found between εe and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (r=0.581, p<0.01). CONCLUSION IIM cases have altered LA reservoir and conduit functions, and LA strain could reflect LA function.

Abstract
In this study, a gene encoding for acetylxylan esterase was cloned and expressed in E. coli. A single uniform band with molecular weight of 31.2 kDa was observed in SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Served as the substrate, p-nitrophenol butyrate was employed to detect the recombinant enzyme activity. It exhibited activity at a wide temperature range (30-100 °C) and pH (5.0-9.0) with the optimal temperature of 70 °C and pH 8.0. Acetylxylan esterase showed two substrates' specificities with the highest Vmax of 177.2 U/mg and Km of 20.98 mM against p-nitrophenol butyrate. Meanwhile, the Vmax of p-nitrophenol acetate was 137.0 U/mg and Km 12.16 mM. The acetic acid yield of 0.39 g/g was obtained (70 °C and pH 8.0) from wheat bran pretreated using amylase and papain. This study showed the highest yield up to date and developed a promising strategy for acetic acid production using wheat bran.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the mid-term efficacy of one-stage unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) combined with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA) with ACL deficiency. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 13 patients (14 knees) who underwent UKA with ACL reconstruction for knee medial compartment OA combined with ACL deficiency in Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from January 2012 to January 2020 were retrospective analyzed. A 1∶1 proportioning study was conducted with 13 patients (14 knees) who underwent UKA due to medial compartment OA with intact ACL during the same period. The matching conditions were the same gender, age, surgical side, anesthesia method, comorbidities, and imaging lesions. There were 26 patients (28 knees) in the two groups, including 6 males (6 knees) and 20 females (22 knees), aged (58.9±4.2) years. The range of motion (ROM) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) were used to evaluate the knee joint function at the last follow-up. The anteroposterior, lateral and axial X-ray films of the knee joint and the weight-bearing full-length X-ray films of the lower limbs were taken during follow-up. The hip knee ankle (HKA) angle, the posterior slope angle (PSA) of tibial prosthesis, and the anterior tibial translation (ATT) were recorded and compared between the two groups. The progression of lateral compartment OA, prosthesis loosening, and dislocation were evaluated. The mid-term follow-up clinical efficacy of the two surgical methods was compared, and the etiology of the patients was analyzed to verify the clinical efficacy and patient selection of one-stage UKA combined with ACL reconstruction. Results: The follow-up time of the two groups was (7.14±2.45) years. At the last follow-up, there was no significant difference in joint ROM between the combined group and the UKA group (120.90°±2.95° vs 122.29°±3.22°, P=0.260). There was no significant difference in OKS score between the two groups [(42.50±1.99) vs (43.21±2.26), P=0.380]. There was no significant difference in HKA angle and ATT distance between the two groups before operation (both P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the results were better than those before operation, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no significant difference in HKA Angle between the combined group and the simple group (177.79°±1.25 ° vs 177.86°±1.29°, P=0.880). Tibial prosthesis PSA and ATT distance were not significantly different between the two groups [(4.57°±0.94° vs 4.50°±1.34°and (0.21±0.89) mm vs (0.14±1.35) mm, both P>0.05)]. There was no prosthesis loosening and obvious progression of lateral compartment OA in both groups at the last follow-up. Conclusion: For young patients with medial compartment OA secondary to ACL deficiency, UKA combined with ACL reconstruction is recommended, it can obtain good mid-term results.

Abstract
The potentially toxic elements (PTEs), Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Hg and As in the water from the Beibu Gulf, were investigated to reveal the contaminant characteristics and assess the risks to human health. The results showed that the concentration of PTEs in the Beibu Gulf varies significantly both seasonally and spatially, with higher concentrations in summer and in the northern and southern gulf. Terrestrial inputs and local anthropogenic discharge are responsible for the higher level in the northern gulf, and the transportation of water masses is also an important factor for the higher concentrations in the southern gulf. Ecological risk assessment suggested that Hg is the main ecological risk factor. The health risk assessment revealed that dermal exposure to PTEs in the gulf presents potentially carcinogenic health effects for humans. This study provides new insight into the transport of PTEs over a large area of the Beibu Gulf.

Abstract
Modules, toolboxes, and synthetic biology systems may be designed to address environmental bioremediation. However, weak and decentralized functional modules require complex control. To address this issue, an integrated system for toxicant detection and biodegradation, and subsequent suicide in chronological order without exogenous inducers is constructed. Salicylic acid, a typical pollutant in industrial wastewater, is selected as an example to demonstrate this design. Biosensors are optimized by regulating the expression of receptors and reporters to get 2-fold sensitivity and 6-fold maximum output. Several stationary phase promoters are compared, and promoter Pfic is chosen to express the degradation enzyme. Two concepts for suicide circuits are developed, with the toxin/antitoxin circuit showing potent lethality. The three modules are coupled in a stepwise manner. Detection and biodegradation, and suicide are sequentially completed with partial attenuation compared to pre-integration, except for biodegradation, being improved by the replacements of ribosome binding site. Finally, a long-term stability test reveals that the engineered strain maintained its function for ten generations. The study provides a novel concept for integrating and controlling functional modules that can accelerate the transition of synthetic biology from conceptual to practical applications.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are harmful to human health due to their carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects. A thermophilic Hydrogenibacillus sp. strain N12 capable of degrading a variety of PAHs and derivatives was previously isolated. In this study, an aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenase, NarA2B2, was identified from strain N12, with substrate specificity including naphthalene, phenanthrene, dibenzothiophene, fluorene, acenaphthene, carbazole, biphenyl, and pyrene. NarA2B2 was proposed to add one or two atoms of molecular oxygen to the substrate and catalyze biphenyl at C-2, 2 or C-3, 4 positions with different characteristics than before. The key catalytic amino acids, H222, H227, and D379, were identified as playing a pivotal role in the formation of the 2-his-1-carboxylate facial triad. Furthermore, we conducted molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, notably, D219 enhanced the stability of the iron center by forming two stable hydrogen bonds with H222, while the mutation of F216, T223, and H302 modulated the catalytic activity by altering the pocket's size and shape. Compared to the wild-type (WT) enzyme, the degradation ratios of acenaphthene by F216A, T223A, and H302A had an improvement of 23.08%, 26.87%, and 29.52%, the degradation ratios of naphthalene by T223A and H302A had an improvement of 51.30% and 65.17%, while the degradation ratio of biphenyl by V236A had an improvement of 77.94%. The purified NarA2B2 was oxygen-sensitive when it was incubated with L-ascorbic acid in an anaerobic environment, and its catalytic activity was restored in vitro. These results contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism responsible for PAHs' degradation in thermophilic microorganisms.IMPORTANCE(i) A novel aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenase named NarA2B2, capable of degrading multiple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and derivatives, was identified from the thermophilic microorganism Hydrogenibacillus sp. N12. (ii) The degradation characteristics of NarA2B2 were characterized by adding one or two atoms of molecular oxygen to the substrate. Unlike the previous study, NarA2B2 catalyzed biphenyl at C-2, 2 or C-3, 4 positions. (iii) Catalytic sites of NarA2B2 were conserved, and key amino acids F216, D219, H222, T223, H227, V236, F243, Y300, H302, W316, F369, and D379 played pivotal roles in catalysis, as confirmed by protein structure prediction, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and point mutation.

Abstract
The remediation of polluted sites containing multiple contaminants like nicotine and heavy metals poses significant challenges, due to detrimental effects like cell death. In this study, we isolated a new strain Pseudomonas sp. NBB capable of efficiently degrading nicotine even in high level of heavy metals. It degraded nicotine through pyrrolidine pathway and displayed minimum inhibitory concentrations of 2 mM for barium, copper, and lead, and 5 mM for manganese. In the presence of 2 mM Ba2+ or Pb2+, 3 g L-1 nicotine could be completely degraded within 24 h. Moreover, under 0.5 mM Cu2+ or 5 mM Mn2+ stress, 24.13% and 72.56% of nicotine degradation were achieved in 60 h, respectively. Strain NBB tolerances metal stress by various strategies, including morphological changes, up-regulation of macromolecule transporters, cellular response to DNA damage, and down-regulation of ABC transporters. Notably, among the 153 up-regulated genes, cds_821 was identified as manganese exporter (MneA) after gene disruption and recovery experiments. This study presents a novel strain capable of efficiently degrading nicotine and displaying remarkable resistance to heavy metals. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into the potential application of nicotine bioremediation in heavy metal-contaminated areas.

Abstract
AIM To use multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT)-derived tricuspid annulus (TA) measurements to identify predictors for tricuspid regurgitation (TR) reduction after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and to investigate the impact of TR change on prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective, single-centre study was conducted on consecutive patients who underwent TAVR with concomitant baseline mild or more severe TR from April 2012 to April 2022. TA parameters were measured using MDCT. RESULTS The study comprised 266 patients (mean age 74.2 ± 7.6 years, 147 men) and 45.1% had more than one grade of TR reduction at follow-up. Independent predictors of TR reduction at follow-up were distance between TA centroid and antero-septal commissure (odd ratio [OR] 0.776; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.672-0.896, p=0.001), baseline TR of moderate or worse (OR 4.599; 95% CI: 2.193-9.648, p<0.001), systolic pulmonary artery pressure (OR 1.018; 95% CI: 1.002-1.035, p=0.027), age (OR 0.955; 95% CI: 0.920-0.993, p=0.019), and pre-existing atrial fibrillation (OR 0.209; 95% CI: 0.101-0.433, p<0.001). Patients without TR reduction had higher rates of rehospitalisation (hazard ratio [HR] 0.642; 95% CI: 0.413-0.998, p=0.049). CONCLUSIONS The MDCT-derived TA parameter was predictive of TR reduction after TAVR. Persistent TR after TAVR was associated with higher rates of rehospitalisation.

Abstract
Liver failure progresses quickly with high mortality. Non-biological artificial liver support system therapy is one of the important treatments for patients with liver failure. The basic techniques of non-biological artificial liver support system therapy include plasma exchange, plasma adsorption and continuous renal replacement therapy. In this paper, the effect and choice of these basic techniques, the treatment timing, the possible patients who may benefit, and the existing problems are summarized and discussed. We hope to provide a reference for the rational use of non-biological artificial liver support system therapy in clinical practice.

Abstract
Industrial expansion has led to environmental pollution by xenobiotic compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and monoaromatic hydrocarbons. Pseudomonas spp. have broad metabolic potential for degrading aromatic compounds. The objective of this study was to develop a "biological funneling" strategy based on genetic modification to convert complex aromatic compounds into cis,cis-muconate (ccMA) using Pseudomonas putida B6-2 and P. brassicacearum MPDS as biocatalysts. The engineered strains B6-2 (B6-2ΔcatBΔsalC) and MPDS (MPDSΔsalC(pUCP18k-catA)) thrived with biphenyl or naphthalene as the sole carbon source and produced ccMA, attaining molar conversions of 95.3% (ccMA/biphenyl) and 100% (ccMA/naphthalene). Under mixed substrates, B6-2ΔcatBΔsalC grew on biphenyl as a carbon source and transformed ccMA from non-growth substrates benzoate or salicylate to obtain higher product concentration. Inserting exogenous clusters like bedDC1C2AB and xylCMAB allowed B6-2 recombinant strains to convert benzene and toluene to ccMA. In mixed substrates, constructed consortia of engineered strains B6-2 and MPDS specialized in catabolism of biphenyl and naphthalene; the highest molar conversion rate of ccMA from mixed substrates was 85.2% when B6-2ΔcatBΔsalC was added after 24 h of MPDSΔsalC(pUCP18k-catA) incubation with biphenyl and naphthalene. This study provides worthwhile insights into efficient production of ccMA from aromatic hydrocarbons by reusing complex pollutants.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic derivatives are organic pollutants which threaten ecosystems and human beings. In this study, a new strain, Shinella sp. FLN 14, was isolated and characterized. It can utilize fluorene as its sole carbon source and effectively co-metabolize multiple PAHs and heterocyclic derivatives, including phenanthrene, acenaphthene, and fluoranthene. Two possible metabolic pathways are proposed (i.e., salicylic acid pathway and phthalic acid pathway). Whole-genome sequencing revealed that strain FLN14 possesses a chromosome and four plasmids. However, when combined with ensemble genetic information, novel fluorene-degrading functional gene clusters were not located within the genome of FLN 14, except for some new dioxygenases and electron transport chains, which typically initiate the oxidation of aromatic compounds. In wastewater bioremediation, strain FLN14 removed nearly 95 % of PAHs within 5 days and maintained high degrading activity during the 18-day reaction compared to the control. Overall, our study provides a promising candidate to achieve bioremediation of PAHs-contaminated environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The search for prognostic biomarkers indicating sensitivity to immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma patients has zeroed in on genes in the switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) pathway. The mutational profiles of key genes are not clearly defined, however, and no comparisons have been conducted on whether mutations in the genes involved provide the same predictive value. METHODS In this study, analysis of clinical factors, tumor mutation burden (TMB), chromosomal instability, and co-alterations was conducted for 4344 lung adenocarcinoma samples. Independent online cohorts (N = 1661 and 576) were used to supplement the analysis with survival and RNA-seq data. RESULTS Mutational burden and chromosomal instability analysis showed that ARID family mutations (including ARID1A, ARID1B, or ARID2 mutations) and SMARC family mutations (including SMARCA4 or SMARCB1 mutations) display different profiles from wild-type (WT) samples (TMB: ARID versus WT: P < 2.2 × 10-16, SMARC versus WT: P < 2.2 × 10-16; CIN: ARID versus WT: P = 1.8 × 10-5, SMARC versus WT: P = 0.027). Both mutant groups have a higher proportion of transversions than transitions, whereas the ratio is more equal for wild-type samples. Survival analysis shows that patients with ARID mutations were more sensitive to immunotherapy treatment than wild-type and SMARC-mutated patients (P < 0.001 and P = 0.013, respectively), and multivariate Cox analysis reveals that the presence of ARID mutations is likely the main cause. CONCLUSIONS The research presented in this study shows that mutations in the ARID gene family, including ARID1A, ARID1B, and ARID2, are primarily responsible for the sensitive response to immunotherapy treatment in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Objective: Cancer immunotherapy can lead to various side effects, termed immune-related adverse events (irAE). This study summarized and analyzed the clinical and pathological characteristics of immune-mediated liver injury caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ILICI). Methods: This is a retrospective case series study involving 11 patients diagnosed with ILICI at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from November 2019 to November 2021. Patient demographic information and clinical data, including gender, age, ILICI onset, clinical and radiological manifestations, pathological features, treatment, and resumption of ICI were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results: The patients were primarily males (9/11) with a median age of 65 (range: 32-73) years. ICI mainly resulted in either partial remission (4/11) or stable disease (3/11). ILICI occurred after a median of two cycles of anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) therapy, with a median time from the initial and last anti-PD-1 therapy to ILICI onset of 57 days and 17 days, respectively. ILICI was mostly severe (3/11) or very severe (6/11). While the clinical and radiological manifestations were non-specific, the pathological features were active lobular hepatitis and portal inflammation, with prominent CD8+T lymphocyte infiltration. The basic treatment was hepatoprotective drugs (10/11). Glucocorticoids were used as the primary therapy (9/11) but were ineffective in 4 of 9 cases. Of these, 3 of 9 cases received combined treatment with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), only one of whom achieved remission. By the end of the study, 2 of 11 cases had resumed ICI and neither had experienced an ILICI relapse. Conclusion: The ILICI patients in this study had a corresponding history of ICI treatment and pathological features. The main treatment included hepatoprotective drugs and glucocorticoids. Immunosuppressive drugs were added for some cases but had poor efficacy.

Abstract
Although many anaerobic microorganisms that can degrade PAHs have been harnessed, there is still a large gap between laboratory achievements and practical applications. Here, we review the recent advances in the biodegradation of PAHs under anoxic conditions and highlight the mechanistic insights into the metabolic pathways and functional genes. Achievements of practical application and enhancing strategies of anaerobic PAHs bioremediation in soil were summarized. Based on the concerned issues during research, perspectives of further development were proposed including time-consuming enrichment, byproducts with unknown toxicity, and activity inhibition with low temperatures. In addition, meta-omics, synthetic biology and engineering microbiome of developing microbial inoculum for anaerobic bioremediation applications are discussed. We anticipate that integrating the theoretical research on PAHs anaerobic biodegradation and its successful application will advance the development of anaerobic bioremediation.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a form of cell death associated with inflammation. In the maintenance of airway homeostasis, pyroptosis goes through activation and assembly of Inflammasome. The pyroptosis pathway is mediated by caspase which activates the pore-forming effect of substrate gasdermin family members. It eventually leads to lysis and release of the cell contents and then induces an inflammatory response. In this process, it participates in airway homeostasis regulation by affecting airway immunity, airway epithelial structure and airway microbiota. Therefore, we discussed the correlation between airway immunity, airway epithelial structure, airway microbiota and the mechanism of pyroptosis to describe the role of pyroptosis in airway homeostasis regulation which is of great significance for understanding the occurrence and treatment of airway inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant therapy is recommended for locally advanced esophageal cancer, but the optimal strategy remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) followed by minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients staged as cT3-4aN0-1M0 ESCC were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to the nCRT or nCT group stratified by age, cN stage, and centers. The chemotherapy, based on paclitaxel and cisplatin, was administered to both groups, while concurrent radiotherapy was added for the nCRT group; then MIE was carried out. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03001596). RESULTS A total of 264 patients were eligible for the intention-to-treat analysis. By 30 November 2021, 121 deaths had occurred. The median follow-up was 43.9 months (interquartile range 36.6-49.3 months). The overall survival in the intention-to-treat population was comparable between the nCRT and nCT strategies [hazard ratio (HR) 0.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.58-1.18; P = 0.28], with a 3-year survival rate of 64.1% (95% CI 56.4% to 72.9%) versus 54.9% (95% CI 47.0% to 64.2%), respectively. There were also no differences in progression-free survival (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.59-1.16; P = 0.27) and recurrence-free survival (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.71-1.60; P = 0.75), although the pathological complete response in the nCRT group (31/112, 27.7%) was significantly higher than that in the nCT group (3/104, 2.9%; P < 0.001). Besides, a trend of lower risk of recurrence was observed in the nCRT group (P = 0.063), while the recurrence pattern was similar (P = 0.802). CONCLUSIONS NCRT followed by MIE was not associated with significantly better overall survival than nCT among patients with cT3-4aN0-1M0 ESCC. The results underscore the pending issue of the best strategy of neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced bulky ESCC.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of different serological markers and the correlation with disease phenotype in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods: The clinical data of 445 IBD patients in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from June 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected, including 223 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC) [111 males, 112 females, with a median age of 46(20,79) years] and 222 cases of Crohn's disease (CD) [147 males, 75 females, with a median age of 39 (19, 72) years]. The positive rates of serum anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA), goblet cell autoantibodies (GAB) and pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) in the two groups were analyzed. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of UC and CD were calculated. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the relationship between different combinations of antibodies and disease phenotype. Results: The positive rates of ASCA and PAB in CD patients were 34.7% (77/222) and 38.3% (85/222), respectively, which were higher than those in UC patients [10.3% (23/223) and 4.5% (10/223), P<0.001]. The positive rate of ANCA in UC patients was 50.2% (112/223), which was higher than that in CD patients [5.4% (12/222), P<0.001]. The positive rates of serum GAB in CD and UC patients were 21.6% (48/222) and 28.3% (63/223), respectively, with no significant difference (P=0.760). In patients with CD, the sensitivity of mono-marker ASCA (+), dual-marker ASCA (+) ANCA (-), quadruple-marker ASCA (+) ANCA (-) PAB (+) GAB (-) in diagnosing CD was 34.7%, 32.9%, 20.7%, the specificity was 89.7%, 95.5%, 100.0%, the positive predictive value was 77.0%, 90.1%, 100.0%, and the negative predictive value was 58.0%, 58.7%, 55.9%, respectively. In patients with UC, the sensitivity of mono-marker ANCA (+), dual-marker ANCA (+) ASCA (-), quadruple-marker ANCA (+) ASCA (-) PAB (-) GAB (+) in diagnosing UC was 50.2%, 40.4%, 24.2%, the specificity was 94.6%, 95.5%, 100.0%, the positive predictive value was 90.3%, 90.0%, 100.0%, and the negative predictive value was 65.4%, 61.4%, 56.8%, respectively. Mono-marker ASCA (+) (OR=3.39, 95%CI: 1.59-7.21), dual-marker ASCA (+) ANCA (-) (OR=2.87, 95%CI: 1.34-6.14), triple-marker ASCA (+) ANCA (-) GAB (-) (OR=3.09, 95%CI: 1.31-7.31) and quadruple-marker ASCA (+) ANCA (-) PAB (+) GAB (-) (OR=3.15, 95%CI: 1.56-8.03) were associated with stenosis and/or penetrating type CD. The mono-marker ANCA (+) (OR=2.69, 95%CI: 1.42-5.12) and dual-marker ANCA (+) ASCA (-) (OR=2.11, 95%CI: 1.03-4.16) were associated with extensive colonic lesions in UC. Conclusion: Based on ASCA or ANCA, the combination with PAB or GAB, is conducive to IBD diagnosis, and is associated with stenosis and/or penetrating type of CD and extensive type of UC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent behavioral research indicates that social media may be successfully integrated into weight loss interventions to mitigate the obesity epidemic that has been linked with type two diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, as well as poor psychological health. This study aimed to examine the content and characteristics of 100 most trending TikTok videos related to weight loss. STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study. METHODS Videos were analyzed for source, predominant theme, and inclusion of specific content. Independent two-tailed t-tests assessed the effect of content on number of comments, likes, and forwards garnered by the videos. RESULTS More than 90% of the videos were consumer generated, indicating a missed opportunity by health professionals to use social media to provide accurate information regarding weight loss. Less than one-fifth of the videos were informational but significantly influenced the number of comments (P < .001) and likes (P = .002). Videos mentioning benefits ((P < .001) and speed of weight loss (P = .003) significantly influenced the number of forwards, whereas those that mentioned recipes (P = .005) and how to lose weight (P = .003) significantly affected the number of comments. CONCLUSION The results underscore the need for further research to elucidate the effectiveness of social media in impacting weight loss, as well as how they may supplement traditional health promotion and behavior interventions for weight loss.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as phenanthrene, are a type of organic pollutants that exist widely in the environment. Of the currently known degradation methods, bioremediation is a desirable and feasible option. A novel Diaphorobacter sp. Strain MNS-0 was isolated from saponification wastewater and showed the ability to degrade phenanthrene, fluorene, acenaphthene, anthracene, benzo[a]anthracene, or chrysene using phenanthrene as the sole carbon source. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy analysis of catabolic intermediates indicates that phenanthrene degradation occurs through the phthalic acid pathway in strain MNS-0. Genome sequencing shows that strain MNS-0 has two plasmids and one chromosome containing a presumptive phenanthrene degradation gene cluster. Strain MNS-0 was able to completely degrade 100 mg/L phenanthrene within 40 h and tolerate up to 10 g/L NaCl at pH 9.0, while maintaining phenanthrene degradation activity. We thus propose that strain MNS-0 is an effective degrader for bioremediation of PAHs pollution, even in relatively harsh alkali environments such as saponification wastewater.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the withdrawal in patients receiving methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and its related influencing factors in Hubei province. Methods: The patients receiving MMT in clinics in Hubei province were selected from June 2006 to December 2021. The general demographic data, drug abuse history, and MMT information were collected. The survival data of patients with MMT were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate analysis. Results: A total of 26 716 patients receiving MMT were included in this study, and the gender ratio between men and women was 3.34∶1(20 557∶6 159). The duration of MMT was 0.01-15.72 years, and the median duration was 2.21 (95%CI: 2.16-2.26) years. At the end of the follow-up, the withdrawal proportion was 86.75% (23 175/26 716). MMT's 0-year, 2-year, 4-year, 9-year and 14-year cumulative probabilities appeared as 67.61%, 40.24%, 30.03%, 15.49% and 6.56%, respectively. Results from the Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that the factors of the withdrawal risk were higher in patients receiving MMT, including minority nationality (HR=1.66,95%CI:1.52-1.82), having jobs (HR=1.05, 95%CI:1.01-1.08), no history of compulsory isolation or detoxification (HR=1.04, 95%CI:1.01-1.09) and the enrollment in 2016-2021 (HR=1.46,95%CI:1.35-1.58). The factors of the withdrawal risk were lower in patients receiving MMT, including 60-year-olds or above (HR=0.56,95%CI:0.42-0.75), college degree or above education level (HR=0.83, 95%CI:0.75-0.91), outpatient services of other cities (HR=0.90, 95%CI:0.87-0.93), drug use for 20 years or more (HR=0.72, 95%CI:0.66-0.80), 90 mg or more per daily dosage (HR=0.73,95%CI:0.69-0.78) and the enrollment in 2011-2015 (HR=0.93,95%CI:0.89-0.97). Conclusions: The withdrawal proportions of patients receiving MMT were high in Hubei province. The withdrawal influencing factors were complex. The daily dose was an essential factor that can be intervened under the safe MMT condition, and a higher dose should be appropriately prescribed.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of split liver transplantation (SLT) and living donor liver transplantation(LDLT) in the treatment of children with biliary atresia. Methods: The clinical data of 64 children with biliary atresia who underwent SLT and 44 children who underwent LDLT from June 2017 to May 2022 at Liver Surgery & Liver Transplantation Center,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively analyzed. Among the children who received SLT, there were 40 males and 24 females. The median age at transplantation was 8 months (range:4 to 168 months). Among the patients who received LDLT, there were 24 males and 20 females. The age at transplantation ranged from 4 to 24 months,with a median age of 7 months. Sixty-four children with biliary atresia were divided into two groups according to the SLT operation time: 32 cases in the early SLT group(June 2017 to January 2019) and 32 cases in the technically mature SLT group (February 2019 to May 2022). Rank sum test or t test was used to compare the recovery of liver function between the LDLT group and the SLT group,and between the early SLT group and the technically mature SLT group. The incidence of postoperative complications was compared by χ2 test or Fisher exact probability method. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Results: The cold ischemia time(M (IQR)) (218 (65) minutes), intraoperative blood loss(175 (100) ml) and graft-to-recipient body weight ratio (3.0±0.7) in the LDLT group were lower than those in the SLT group(500 (130) minutes, 200 (250) ml, 3.4±0.8) (Z=-8.064,Z=-2.969, t=-2.048, all P<0.05). The cold ischemia time(457(158)minutes) and total hospital stay ((37.4±22.4)days) in the technically mature SLT group were lower than those in the early SLT group(510(60)minutes, (53.0±39.0)days).The differences were statistically significant (Z=-2.132, t=1.934, both P<0.05).The liver function indexes of LDLT group and SLT group showed unimodal changes within 1 week after operation. The peak values of ALT, AST, prothrombin time, activeated partial thromboplasting time, international normalized ratio, fibrinogen and creatinine all appeared at 1 day after operation, and the peak value of prothrombin activity appeared at 3 days after operation. All indicators returned to normal at 7 days after operation. The 1-,2-,and 3-year overall survival rates were 95.5% in LDLT group and 93.5% in the technically mature SLT group, and the difference was not statistically significant. The 1-,2-,and 3-year overall survival rates were 90.2% in the early SLT group and 93.5% in the technically mature SLT group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). The main complications of the early SLT group were surgery-related complications(28.1%,9/32), and the main complications of the technically mature SLT group were non-surgery-related complications(21.9%,7/32). There were 5 deaths in the SLT group,including 4 in the early SLT group and 1 in the technically mature SLT group. Conclusion: The survival rate of SLT in the treatment of biliary atresia is comparable to that of LDLT.

Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate the clinical feasibility of microscopic resection of hemilateral tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSM) via the contralateral eye brow arch approach. The clinical data of 34 patients with TSM who underwent microsurgery from January 2016 to June 2021 in the Neurosurgery Department of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine and the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University were collected and reviewed. The postoperative visual acuity improvement rate was 88.5% (23/26), and the total tumor resection rate was 88.2% (30/34); the postoperative visual acuity improvement in patients with total tumor resection was better than that of patients with partial resection [90.9% (20/22) vs 3/4]. Meanwhile, the postoperative visual acuity improvement in patients with the superior optic nerve and laterl-superior optic nerve was better than that of patients with the lateral optic nerve type (12/14, 8/8 vs 3/4). Supraorbital skin numbness occurred in 3 cases after operation, and the symptoms disappeared during follow-up; 2 cases had mild disturbance of hormone level, and urine output of 2 cases increased after operation, which returned to normal level after symptomatic treatment; 1 case had subcutaneous effusion which was absorbed after treatment. There were no complications such as olfactory disturbance and intracranial infection. During follow-up for 3-60 (33±6) months, recurrence occurred in 2 cases and reoperation was performed. For the hemilateral TSM, according to the preoperative evaluation of the origin of the TSM and the side with visual impairment, the contralateral eyebrow approach is selected to fully expose the tumor base below the optic nerve. It is beneficial to fully resect the tumor under direct vision, and the symptoms of postoperative visual impairment are significantly improved, indicating that the current surgical method can be used in the clinical setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE Plenty of studies have examined the long term effect of weight loss on bone mineral density. This study aimed to explore the effects of 10% weight loss on early changes in bone metabolism as well as the possible influencing factors. METHODS Overweight and obese outpatients (BMI > 24.0 kg/m2) were recruited from the nutrition clinic and followed a calorie-restricted, high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet program. Dietary intake, body composition, serum procollagen type I N-propeptide (PINP), β-Crosslaps, PTH, 25(OH) VitD, a series of inflammatory cytokines and adipokines were measured for the participants before starting to lose weight and after 10% weight loss (NCT04207879). RESULTS A total of 75 participants were enrolled and 37 participants achieved a weight loss of at least 10%. It was found that PINP decreased (p = 0.000) and the β-Crosslaps increased (p = 0.035) in female participants. Decreases in PTH (p = 0.001), serum IL-2 (p = 0.013), leptin (p = 0.001) and increases in 25(OH) VitD (p = 0.001), serum ghrelin (p = 0.033) were found in 37 participants after 10% of their weight had been lost. Change in PINP was detected to be significantly associated with change in lean body mass (r = 0.418, p = 0.012) and change in serum ghrelin(r = - 0.374, p = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS Bone formation was suppressed and bone absorption was increased in female subjects after a 10% weight loss. Bone turnover was found to be associated with lean body mass and affected by the circulating ghrelin level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been widely reported to be safe and feasible, and has a powerful effect on improving metabolism and weight loss in patients with a high body mass index (BMI). A few studies have focused on the comparison of RYGB with medical treatment in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with a lower BMI. OBJECTIVES To compare the metabolic effects and safety of RYGB versus medical treatment during a 2 years follow-up in T2D patients with a BMI of 25 to 32.5 kg/m2. METHODS This retrospective and multicenter cohort study participants were extracted from the T2D patients with a lower BMI (25-32.5 kg/m2) from three bariatric centers between 2009 and 2018. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize bias, and each patient in the surgical group was matched 1:2 to the patients in the medical group with the closest propensity score. Finally, 71 patients who received RYGB and 142 patients who underwent medical treatment with a 2 years follow-up were enrolled to compare the effects of RYGB and medical treatment. The primary endpoint was achievement of the triple endpoint (the simultaneous achievement of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) < 7.0%, fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) < 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 130 mmHg at the year-1 visit). Changes in weight, BMI, medication usage, complications, and adverse events were assessed. RESULTS In total, 213 patients (mean age of 47.4 ± 9.5 years, 70.4% male, mean BMI of 28.6 ± 2.2 kg/m2) were included in this study. At the end of the first year, 17 patients (23.9%) in the surgical group and 10 (7.0%) in the medical group had achieved the composite triple endpoint (OR 4.64; 95% CI 1.82-11.81; p = 0.001). Additionally, 43 patients (60.6%) in the surgical group and 11 patients (19.7%) in the medical group experienced remission of T2D. However, more complications were observed in the surgical group (36 vs. 22, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Among T2D patients with a BMI between 25.0 and 32.5 kg/m2, RYGB was more effective than medical treatment in resolving metabolic disorders and also resulted in more complications. The risk for complications should be considered in the clinical decision-making process for T2D patients with a low BMI.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of enteral immunonutrition support therapy on nutritional metabolism, immune function, and inflammatory response in adult burn patients at nutritional risk as assessed by the modified 2nd nutrition risk screening (NRS) 2002. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. From December 2019 to January 2022, 500 adult patients who were admitted to the Affiliated Huaihai Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and had nutritional risk assessed by the modified 2nd NRS 2002 were recruited into the study. According to burn severity, the patients were divided into common burn patients (n=450) and severe burn patients (n=50). According to the random number table, the patients with common burn were divided into common burn diet nutrition group and common burn diet enteral immunonutrition group, with 225 patients in each group, and the patients with severe burn were divided into severe burn diet enteral non-immunonutrition group and severe burn diet enteral immunonutrition group, with 25 patients in each group. The patients in each group were given the corresponding nutritional support therapies on the basis of routine burn treatment. On post injury day (PID) 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21, the total energy intake and total protein intake of the patients in 4 groups were recorded, the plasma prealbumin, albumin, transferrin, serum immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgG, IgM, peripheral blood CD3 positive T cell percentage, CD4 positive T cell count, CD8 positive T cell count, the ratio of CD4 positive T cells to CD8 positive T cells, natural killer cell percentage, plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6), free mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number, and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) of the patients in 4 groups were detected, and the nitrogen balance of the patients in 4 groups on the day was calculated. On PID 7, 14, and 21, the modified 2nd NRS 2002 scores of the patients in 4 groups were reassessed. The sepsis incidence during treatment and the length of hospital stay of the patients in 4 groups and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay of the patients in the 2 severe burn groups were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, Mann-Whitney U test, independent sample t test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, and Bonferroni correction. Results: A total of 476 patients completed the trial, with 213 patients in common burn diet nutrition group (112 males and 101 females, aged (37±19) years), 218 patients in common burn diet enteral immunonutrition group (115 males and 103 females, aged (42±16) years), 22 patients in severe burn diet enteral non-immunonutrition group (11 males and 11 females, aged (35±8) years), and 23 patients in severe burn diet enteral immunonutrition group (12 males and 11 females, aged (35±8) years).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a culture system for human nasal mucosal organoids with controllable differentiation to reproduce the structure and function of the source tissue through staged expansion-differentiation culture. METHODS Fresh samples of surgically resected middle turbinate and nasal polyp tissues were collected, from which the nasal mucosa epithelial cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion and filtration for continuous culture at the air-liquid interface for expansion (EO group) or staged culture for expansion and differentiation (DO group). Immunohistochemical staining was used to characterize the structure, cellular composition and ciliary function of nasal mucosal organoids in the two groups. The secretion function of the differentiated nasal mucosal organoids in DO group was evaluated using PAS staining. RESULTS Both of the two organoid culture systems yielded vacuolar or solid spherical 3D organoids, and their diameters increased progressively with time. On day 16 of culture, more vacuolar organoids occurred in DO group, while more solid spherical organoids were seen in EO group, and the proportion of vacuoles was significantly greater in DO group than in EO group [(54.67±13.26)% vs (21.67±8.57)%, P < 0.05]. Short tandem repeat (STR) test of the nasal mucosal organoids and the source tissue showed a 100% match between them. On day 21 of culture, scanning and transmission electron microscopy of the nasal mucosal organoids identified ultrastructure of cilia in DO group and short villi structure in most of the organoids in EO group. Immunohistochemical staining showed positivity for P63 (basal cells), β-tubulin (ciliated columnar cells), and MUC5AC (goblet cells) in the organoids. Compared with those in EO group, the organoids in DO group showed significantly greater percentages of ciliated cells [(7.95±1.81)% vs (27.04±5.91)%, P < 0.05] and goblet cells [(14.46±0.93)% vs (39.85±5.43)%, P < 0.05) with a similar percentage of basal cells [(56.91±14.12)% vs (53.42±15.77)%, P > 0.05]. The differentiated nasal mucosal organoids in DO group were positively stained for glycogen. CONCLUSION The staged expansion-differentiation culture method allows more stable and prolonged growth of the cultured cells in vitro to produce organoids with controllable differentiation closely resembling the morphological structure and functions (ciliary function and secretory function) of the source tissue.

Abstract
BackgroundAbatacept (ABA) has demonstrated efficacy and safety in active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in Europe and the United States as one of bDMARDs [1]. However, the clinical activity of Abatacept (ABA) has not been sufficiently investigated in patients with RA from a real-world clinical setting in China.ObjectivesThis study was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Abatacept in the RA patients in Chinese population who were refractory to csDMARDs, aiming to provide further reference for clinical rational drug use.MethodsClinical data of 55 patients with active RA who were admitted in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from June 2020 to June 2021 and did not respond to csDMARDs was retrospectively analyzed. Patients in this study were treated with Abatacept (125 mg by subcutaneous injection once weekly combined with csDMARDs. Changes in clinical manifestations, including DAS28-ESR, CDAI, ACR 20/50/70 at week 12 and 24 from baseline and AEs during 24 weeks were observed and recorded.Results55 patients (46 women and 9 men) were included in this study with a mean age 50.80 ± 12.46 and a mean disease duration of 6.29 ± 6.22 years. The ACR 20 response at week 12 and 24 was 50.91% (28/55) and 87.27% (48/55), respectively. Besides, DAS 28-ESR score were significantly lower at week 12 and 24 compared to baseline (P <0.05) with 19 patients (34.55%) achieving clinical remission or low disease activity. Changes in CDAI scores revealed that 80% patients achieved clinical remission or low disease activity at week 24. DAS28-ESR score was significantly lower in previously untreated patients (Biologic-naive) (n=36) (3.40 ± 0.81) than in the previously treated patients (Biologic non-naive) (n=19) (3.83 ± 0.68) (P = 0.02) (Figure 1). RF, CCP antibody and GLOB levels were significantlyreduced in RA patients after 24-week ABA treatment compared to baseline (P﹤0.05) (Table 1). Two hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers, two patients with active tuberculosis and one patient with latent tuberculosis status showed no reactivation of HBV and no new active tuberculosis lesions 24 weeks after treatment with ABA. AEs were reported in 9.1% (5/55), but no serious infections occurred.Table 1.Analysis of clinical and serological parameters at baseline and after treatment with Abatacept.IndexesBaseline12 weeks24 weeksTJC6 (4,10)3 (2,4)*2 (1,3) **SJC2 (1,4)1 (0,2)*0 (0,1)**PtGA-VAS(0-10cm)8 (7,10)5 (3,6)*2(2,3)**HAQ2 (0,4)1 (0,2)*0 (0,1)**ESR (mm/h)51 (41,89)37 (28,51)*23 (17,37)**HsCRP(mg/L)14.08 (3.7,35.0)5,77 (2.27,20.78) *4.12 (1.34,9.37) **GLOB34.47±5.69-30.33±3.81*RF-IgM (IU/mL)408.55 (68.8,566.5)-167.41 (34.9, 171.25) *RF-IgG (U/mL)8.63 (4.55, 11.1)-7.94 (3.13, 6.23) *RF-IgA (U/mL)90.18 (25.63, 99.12)-58.20 (16.81, 59.09) *CCP (RU/mL)1095.45 (66.79, 1033.28)-782.0 (58.49, 857.5) **p﹤0.05,TJC=Tender joint count, SJC=Swollen joint count, GLOB= immunoglobulin.ConclusionIn the Chinese patients with active RA refractory to csDMARDs, the combination of ABA and csDMARDs showed great clinical efficacy and a favorable safety profile.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of nucleos(t)ide analogues in the treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B with normal alanine aminotransferase and high level of HBV DNA. Methods: Treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B patients who were followed up at the Center of Infectious Diseases, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as subjects. Demographic characteristics, the results of laboratory examination before treatment and one year after treatment were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into tenofovir dipivoxil (TDF) and propofol fumurate tenofovir (TAF) treatment group according to different types of medication. The changes of serum HBV DNA level, HBeAg serological conversion and HBsAg quantitative level were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 38 cases were enrolled. Among them, there were 16 and 22 cases in the TDF and TAF group, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in demographic characteristics, baseline HBV DNA levels and HBsAg quantitative levels between the two groups. Virological response was achieved in 60.5% (23/38) of patients after one year of antiviral therapy. Serum HBV DNA levels below the lower limit of detection [68.2% (15/22) vs. 50.0% (8/16), P=0.258] and higher HBeAg seroconversion rate [18.2%] (4/22) vs. 6.3% (1/16), P=0.374] was obtained in TAF than TDF group; however, there was no statistically significant differences between the two. Serum HBsAg quantitative level was significantly reduced with TDF and TAF treatment. In addition, alanine aminotransferase elevation was reduced in TAF than TDF treated group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patient age was an independent predictor of a virological response to antiviral therapy. Conclusion: HBeAg-positive CHB patients with normal alanine aminotransferase, and high HBV DNA level can obtain better curative effect after TDF and TAF treatment.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) commonly coexist in contaminated sites, posing a significant threat to ecosystem. Strains that degrade a wide range of substrates play important roles in bioremediation of contaminated environment. In this study, we reveal that Pseudomonas brassicacearum MPDS was able to remove 31.1% naphthalene of 500 mg/kg from soil within 2 d, while its relative abundance decreased significantly on Day 20, indicating its applicable potential in soil remediation. In addition to naphthalene, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene, and fluorene as reported previously, strain MPDS is able to degrade carbazole, phenanthrene, pyrene, and 2-bromonaphthalene. Moreover, NahA from strain MPDS has multi-substrate catalytic capacities on naphthalene, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene, phenanthrene, and 2-bromonaphthalene into dihydrodiols, while converts fluorene and carbazole into monohydroxy compounds according to GC-MS analysis. This study provides further insights into the exploration of soil remediation by strain MPDS and the mining of enzymes involved in the degradation of PAHs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of melatonin on the growth and metastasis of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and explore the mechanism. METHODS MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 1, 3 or 5 mmol/L melatonin, and the changes in cell proliferation were examined using CCK-8 assay. Colony-forming assay and wound healing assay were used to assess the effects of melatonin treatmnent on colony-forming ability and migration of the cells. Flow cytometry and immunofluoresnce assay were employed to examine apoptosis and positive staining for autophagy-related proteins in the cells treated with 3 mmol/L melatonin. The effects of melatonin treatment alone or in combination with 3-methyladenine (3-MA) on the expressions of the proteins associated with autophagy (LC3, P62 and Beclin1), apoptosis (Bcl2 and Bax) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (E-cadherin and Snail) were examined with Western blotting. RESULTS Melatonin treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner (P < 0.05), suppressed colony-forming ability and migration (P < 0.01), and promoted apoptosis of the cells (P < 0.01). Melatonin treatment alone significantly increased the expressions of Bax (P < 0.05), E-cadherin, LC3-II/LC3-I, and Beclin1 and lowered the expressions of Bcl2 (P < 0.05), Snail, P62 (P < 0.05), and Bcl2/Bax ratio (P < 0.01) in the cells, and caused enhanced positive staining of Beclin1 protein and attenuated staining of P62 protein. Compared with melatonin treatment alone, melatonin treatment combined with 3-MA significantly decreased the expressions of Beclin1 (P < 0.001), LC3-II/LC3-I (P < 0.05), Bax (P < 0.01), and E-cadherin (P < 0.001) and increased the expressions of Bcl2 (P < 0.05), Snail, and Bcl2/Bax ratio (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Melatonin can induce autophagy of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells to inhibit cell proliferation and metastasis and promote cell apoptosis, and suppressing autophagy can weaken the inhibitory effect of melatonin on the growth and metastasis of breast cancer cells.
