Abstract
Diabetic wounds can occur as a prevalent complication among people diagnosed with diabetes, frequently resulting in the necessity for amputation. The cause and effect of diabetic foot ulcer is complex, involving multiple factors. In the present study, wound healing strategies utilizing nanomaterials have proven to be effective in battling bacterial infections and improve wound regeneration. Poloxamers (PLX) exhibit extensive potential as a viable option for the development of nanomedicines owing to their inherent characteristics of self-assembly and encapsulation. This study aims to design and develop a PLX/ZnO nanocomposite incorporated with Centella Asiatica extract (CAE) for the multi-functional action in the diabetic wound healing treatment. Subsequently physico-chemical characterizations, such as XRD, FTIR, and TEM observations, demonstrated that the ZnO were evenly distributed through the PLX framework. The developed nanocomposite was biocompatible with mouse fibroblast cell line (L929), and it had multiple beneficial characteristics, such as a rapid self-healing process and effective antibacterial action against G+ and G- bacterial pathogens. After being treated with the developed formulation, skin fibroblast cell line and HUVECs demonstrated a substantial increase in their in vitro cell proliferation ability, migration, and tube-forming abilities. The utilization of a CAE@PLX/ZnO nanoformulation presents a viable strategy and a distinctive, encouraging composite for diabetic wound healing treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While evidence suggests that the attitudes of healthcare providers toward medical decision-making in adolescents diagnosed with depression merit exploration, research on their preferences for Shared Decision-Making (SDM) and the factors affecting these preferences remains limited. OBJECTIVE To investigate Chinese mental health professionals' (MHPs) preferences for SDM in adolescents with depression and identify the relationships between their preference for SDM and trust and discrimination. METHODS A cross-sectional design was used in this study. Clinical Decision-making Style-Staff (CDMS-S) was applied to evaluate their preferences for SDM. Physician Trust in the Patient Scale (PTPS) was utilised to assess their trust in consumers. Social Distance Scale to Mental Illness (SDSMI) was utilised to measure their discrimination against people with mental illness. RESULTS A total of 581 MHPs were identified in China. MHPs rated their preference for participation in decision making (PD) as shared (1.89 ± 0.472), information (IN) as moderate (2.62 ± 0.682), and family involvement (FI) as high (3.13 ± 0.840). The preferences for three decision topics ranked from the highest to the lowest score were working-related decision (2.35 ± 0.681), general preferences in decision (1.82 ± 0.581) and medication-related decision (1.74 ± 0.826). The mean score of PTPS and SDSMI were 34.71 (SD=9.709) and 15.17 (SD=4.299), respectively. Logistic regression indicated that the preference for PD was associated with discrimination; the preference for IN was associated with trust, discrimination and SDM-related training experience; and the preference for FI was associated with both trust and discrimination. CONCLUSIONS While MHPs generally exhibit a favourable attitude toward SDM, this positivity is not universally observed across all contexts. There remains room for improvement in the willingness to co-develop medication regimens and share health information. Rational recognition of depression, and building trusting and friendly therapeutic relationships are key to promoting MHPs' preferences for SDM. PRACTICAL VALUE MHPs' preferences for SDM have a significant impact on SDM implementation, which will be promoted by implementing SDM-related training.

Abstract
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has been popular for treating brain tumours and epilepsy. The strict control of tissue thermal damage extent is crucial for LITT. Temperature prediction is useful for predicting thermal damage extent. Accurately predicting in vivo brain tissue temperature is challenging due to the temperature dependence and the individual variations in tissue properties. Considering these factors is essential for improving the temperature prediction accuracy. OBJECTIVE To present a method for predicting patient-specific tissue temperature distribution within a target lesion area in the brain during LITT. APPROACH A magnetic resonance temperature imaging (MRTI) data-driven estimation model was constructed and combined with a modified Pennes bioheat transfer equation (PBHE) to predict patient-specific temperature distribution. In the PBHE for temperature prediction, the individual specificity and temperature dependence of thermal tissue properties and blood perfusion, as well as the individual specificity of optical tissue properties were considered. Only MRTI data during one laser irradiation were required in the method. This enables the prediction of patient-specific temperature distribution and the resulting thermal damage region for subsequent ablations. MAIN RESULTS Patient-specific temperature prediction was evaluated based on patients' data acquired during LITT in the brain, using intraoperative MRTI data as the reference standard. Our method significantly improved the prediction performance of temperature distribution and thermal damage region. The average root mean square error was decreased by 69.54%, the average intraclass correlation coefficients was increased by 37.5%, the average Dice similarity coefficient was increased by 43.14% for thermal damage region prediction. SIGNIFICANCE The proposed method can predict temperature distribution and thermal damage region at an individual patient level during LITT, providing a promising approach to assist in patient-specific treatment planning for LITT in the brain.

Abstract
PURPOSE Biopsies play a crucial role in determining the classification and staging of tumors. Ultrasound is frequently used in this procedure to provide real-time anatomical information. Using augmented reality (AR), surgeons can visualize ultrasound data and spatial navigation information seamlessly integrated with real tissues. This innovation facilitates faster and more precise biopsy operations. METHODS We have developed an augmented reality biopsy navigation system characterized by low display latency and high accuracy. Ultrasound data is initially read by an image capture card and streamed to Unity via net communication. In Unity, navigation information is rendered and transmitted to the HoloLens 2 device using holographic remoting. Concurrently, a retro-reflective tool tracking method is implemented on the HoloLens 2, enabling the simultaneous tracking of the ultrasound probe and biopsy needle. Distinct navigation information is provided during in-plane and out-of-plane punctuation. To evaluate the effectiveness of our system, we conducted a study involving ten participants, assessing puncture accuracy and biopsy time in comparison to traditional methods. RESULTS Ultrasound image was streamed from the ultrasound device to augmented reality headset with 122.49±11.61ms latency, while only 16.22±11.25ms was taken after data acquisition from image capture card. Navigation accuracy reached 1.23±0.68mm in the image plane and 0.95±0.70mm outside the image plane, within a depth range of 200 millimeters. Remarkably, the utilization of our system led to 98% and 95% success rate in out-of-plane and in-plane biopsy, among ten participants with little ultrasound experience. CONCLUSION To sum up, this paper introduces an AR-based ultrasound biopsy navigation system characterized by high navigation accuracy and minimal latency. The system provides distinct visualization contents during in-plane and out-of-plane operations according to their different characteristics. Use case study in this paper proved that our system can help young surgeons perform biopsy faster and more accurately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Substantial observational evidence suggests an association between neuropsychiatric conditions and Venous Thromboembolism (VTE). However, the causal relationship between these two conditions requires further investigation. Therefore, we employed a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) approach to assess bidirectional causal effects between four neuropsychiatric conditions and VTE, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). METHODS Genetic variants associated with four neuropsychiatric conditions, including Schizophrenia (SCH), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Bipolar Disorder (BD), and Epilepsy, as well as VTE, DVT, and PE were selected. Bidirectional univariable and multivariable MR methods were applied to evaluate causal relationships among these conditions. The primary causal estimates were obtained using the Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW) method with multiplicative random effects, supplemented by MR Egger regression, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using MR pleiotropy residual sum ,funnel plots and outlier (MR-PRESSO) method. RESULTS Univariable MR results showed that genetic susceptibility to MDD increases the risk of VTE and PE (VTE: OR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.08-1.46, P=0.004; PE: OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.09-1.69, P=0.006), and PE has an adverse causal effect on MDD (OR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.00-1.04, P=0.026). Adjustment for confounders such as obesity, sleep duration, smoking, physical activity, and alcohol consumption revealed that increased genetic susceptibility to MDD is also associated with VTE and PE. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that genetic susceptibility to MDD may have an adverse causal effect on the risk of VTE and PE, and PE has a reverse causal effect on MDD. Prevention and early diagnosis of depression are crucial in the management of VTE and PE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the visual outcomes of the first operated eyes with those of the second operated eyes following small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). METHODS A total of 202 patients (404 eyes) underwent SMILE using the tear film mark centration method for myopia and myopic astigmatism correction. Baseline characteristics, objective optical quality, decentered displacement, induced corneal aberrations, and modulation transfer function (MTF) values were assessed. Linear regression analyzed the relationship between decentration and visual quality parameters, including corneal aberrations and MTF values. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in objective visual quality, efficacy, and safety indexes between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The average decentered displacement for the first and second surgical eyes was 0.278 ± 0.17 mm and 0.315 ± 0.15 mm, respectively (P = 0.002). The horizontal coma in the first surgical eyes were notably lower than in the second (P = 0.000). MTF values at spatial frequencies of 5, 10, 15, and 20 cycles/degree (c/d) were higher in the first surgical eyes compared to the second (all P < 0.05). Linear regression indicated that high-order aberrations (HOAs), root mean square (RMS) coma, spherical aberration, horizontal coma, vertical coma, and eccentric displacement were all linearly correlated. Furthermore, MTF values exhibited a linear relationship with eccentric displacement across these spatial frequencies. CONCLUSIONS There was no discernible difference in visual acuity, efficacy, or safety between the two operated eyes. Nonetheless, the first operated eyes exhibited reduced decentered displacement and demonstrated superior outcomes in terms of horizontal coma and MTF values compared to the second operated eyes following SMILE. The variations in visual quality parameters were linearly correlated with decentered displacement.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and capecitabine) for locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LA HSCC) and potential predictive factors for ORR. Methods: A single-center, prospective, phase 2 and single-arm trial was conducted for evaluating antitumor activity of camrelizumab+TPF(docetaxel+cisplatin+capecitabine) for LA HSCC between May 21, 2021 and April 15, 2023, patients admitted to the Eye & ENT Hospital affiliated with Fudan University. The primary endpoint was ORR, and enrolled patients with LA HSCC at T3-4N0-3M0 received induction chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles: camrelizumab 200 mg day 1, docetaxel 75 mg/m2 day 1, cisplatin 25 mg/m2 days 1-3, and capecitabine 800 mg/m2 days 1-14. Patients were assigned to radioimmunotherapy when they had complete response or partial response (PR)>70% (Group A), or assigned to surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy when they had PR≤70% (Group B), and the responses were defined by using tumor volume evaluation system. Tumor diameter was also used to assess the treatment responses by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Use SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 51 patients were enrolled who underwent the induced chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles, and all were males, aged 35-69 years old. After three cycles of induction immunochemotherapy, 42 (82.4%) patients existed in Group A (complete response or PR>70%) and 9 patients (17.6%) in Group B (PR≤70%), the ORR was 82.4%. The primary endpoint achieved expected main research objectives. Compared to the patients of Group A, the patients of Group B showed the higher T stage and the larger volume of primary tumor before induced immunochemotherapy, and also had the less regression of tumor volume after induced immunochemotherapy (all P<0.05). The optimal cutoff value of pre-treatment tumor volume for predicting ORR was 39 cm3. The T stage (OR=12.71, 95%CI: 1.4-112.5, P=0.022) and the volume (OR=7.1, 95%CI: 1.4-36.8, P=0.018) of primary tumor were the two main factors affecting ORR rate of induction chemoimmunotherapy. Conclusion: The induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF shows an encouraging antitumor efficacy in LA HSCC.

Abstract
Leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) is a type of hermaphrodite fish, but the mechanisms of gonadal development and gametogenesis remain unclear. In the present study, we performed histological observation and transcriptomic analysis during the process of sexual differentiation in P. leopardus. According to the histological results, sexual differentiation was completed at 15 months old, developed synchronously in male and female individuals at 2 years old, and matured synchronously at 3 years old. Comparative transcriptomic analyses showed that the gonadal had differentiated by 15 months old, with enrichment of pathways associated with cell proliferation, transcriptional metabolism, and germline stem cell differentiation. Furthermore, cilium movement and fatty acid anabolism, which are associated with spermatogenesis and oocyte growth, were significantly enriched at 3 years old. In addition, key genes associated with male and female sex differentiation, such as amh, dmrt1, dmrt2a, zp4, sox3, gdf9, and gsdf, were identified by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Finally, the localization and expression of the key genes amh and sox3 were observed in different cell types within the testes and ovaries, reflecting the development of the testes and ovaries, respectively. All the evidence indicates that P. leopardus is a hermaphrodite and synchronously sexually mature fish. Our study complements the gonadal development patterns of hermaphroditic fish by providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying sexual differentiation and sex change in hermaphroditic groupers.

Abstract
The rapid development of the economy and society is causing an increase in the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) produced by people's daily lives. With the strong support of the Chinese government, incineration power generation has steadily become the primary method of treating MSW, accounting for 79.86%. However, burning produces a significant amount of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI-FA), which contains heavy metals, soluble chlorine salts, and dioxins. China's MSWI-FA yield increased by 8.23% annually to 7.80 million tons in 2022. Besides, the eastern region, especially the southeastern coastal region, has the highest yield of MSWI-FA. There are certain similarities in the chemical characteristics of MSWI-FA samples from Northeast, North, East, and South China. Zn and CaO have the largest amounts of metals and oxides, respectively. The Cl content is about 20 wt%. This study provides an overview of the techniques used in the thermal treatment method, solidification and stabilization, and separation and extraction of MSWI-FA and compares their benefits and drawbacks. In addition, the industrial applications and standard requirements of landfill treatment and resource utilization of MSWI-FA in China are analyzed. It is discovered that China's resource utilization of MSWI-FA is insufficient through the study on the fly ash disposal procedures at a few MSW incineration facilities located in the economically developed Guangdong Province and the traditional industrial city of Tianjin. Finally, the prospects for the disposal of MSWI-FA were discussed.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most fatal cancers with high morbidity and mortality, which severely affects people's lives. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 858 (LINC00858) was confirmed to promote the progression of colorectal cancer and lung cancer. However, the role of lncRNA LINC00858 is still unknown in ESCC. Herein, the main purpose of research was to explore LINC00858 function and its impact on ESCC cell biological behaviors. RT-qPCR was used to test the expression of LINC00858, miR-425-5p and ABL proto-oncogene 2 (ABL2) in ESCC cells. Functional experiments such as EdU assay, CCK-8 assay, transwell assay and Western blot assay were conducted to investigate the biological behaviors of ESCC cells. Luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay were implemented to determine the binding situation among RNAs. LINC00858 expression was abnormally high in ESCC cells and down-regulation of LINC00858 could restrain the proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT process of ESCC cells. Furthermore, miR-425-5p was proved to be sponged by LINC00858 and was down-regulated in ESCC cells. Besides, we discovered that miR-425-5p could target ABL2. Moreover, knockdown of ABL2 reversed the promoting function of miR-425-5p inhibitor on ESCC progression. LINC00858 aggravated ESCC progression via regulating the miR-425-5p/ABL2 axis.

Abstract
Benzene is the typical volatile organic compound (VOC) of indoor and outdoor air pollution, which harms human health and the environment. Due to the stability of their aromatic structure, the catalytic oxidation of benzene rings in an environment without an external energy input is difficult. In this study, the efficient degradation of benzene at room temperature was achieved by constructing Ag and Ni bimetallic active site catalysts (AgNi/BCN) supported on boron-carbon-nitrogen aerogel. The atomic-scale Ag and Ni are uniformly dispersed on the catalyst surface and form Ag/Ni-C/N bonds with C and N, which were conducive to the catalytic oxidation of benzene at room temperature. Further catalytic reaction mechanisms indicate that benzene reacted with ·OH to produce R·, which reacted with O2 to regenerate ·OH. Under the strong oxidation of ·OH, benzene was oxidized to form alcohols, carboxylic acids, and eventually CO2 and H2O. This study not only significantly reduces the energy consumption of VOC catalytic oxidation, but also improves the safety of VOC treatment, providing new ideas for the low energy consumption and green development of VOC treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate how sleeve gastrectomy (SG), a typical operation of bariatric surgery, attenuated symptom, and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). METHODS DKD model was induced by high-fat diet (HFD) combined with streptozocin in Wistar rats. SG was performed, and the group subjected to sham surgery served as control. The animals were euthanized 12 weeks after surgery, followed by sample collection for the subsequent experiment. The HK-2, a renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line derived from human, was utilized to investigate the potential mechanisms. RESULTS SG improved metabolic parameters and glucose homeostasis, and could alleviate DKD in terms of renal function indices as well as histological and morphological structures in DM rats, accompanied with a significant reduction in renal tubular injury. Compared with sham group, SG reduced the renal tubular ferroptosis. To further clarify the mechanism involved, in vitro experiments were performed. In the presence of high glucose, renal tubular TGF-β1 secretion was significantly increased in HK-2 cell line, which led to activation of ferroptosis through TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway. Inhibition of TGF-β1 receptor and phosphorylation of Smad3 significantly ameliorated TGF-β1-mediated ferroptosis. In vivo experiments also found that SG improved the hyperglycemic environment, reduced renal TGF-β1 concentrations, and down-regulated the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS With the capacity to lower the glucose, SG could attenuate the ferroptosis by inhibiting TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway in DKD rats, and eventually attenuated DKD.

Abstract
Developing efficient bifunctional materials is highly desirable for overall proton membrane water splitting. However, the design of iridium materials with high overall acidic water splitting activity and durability, as well as an in-depth understanding of the catalytic mechanism, is challenging. Herein, we successfully developed subnanoporous Ir3Ni ultrathin nanocages with high crystallinity as bifunctional materials for acidic water splitting. The subnanoporous shell enables Ir3Ni NCs optimized exposure of active sites. Importantly, the nickel incorporation contributes to the favorable thermodynamics of the electrocatalysis of the OER after surface reconstruction and optimized hydrogen adsorption free energy in HER electrocatalysis, which induce enhanced intrinsic activity of the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Together, the Ir3Ni nanocages achieve 3.72 A/mgIr(η=350 mV) and 4.47 A/mgIr(η=40 mV) OER and HER mass activity, which are 18.8 times and 3.3 times higher than that of commercial IrO2 and Pt, respectively. In addition, their highly crystalline identity ensures a robust nanostructure, enabling good catalytic durability during the oxygen evolution reaction after surface oxidation. This work provides a new revenue toward the structural design and insightful understanding of metal alloy catalytic mechanisms for the bifunctional acidic water splitting electrocatalysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) is a significant mental health concern that often leads to recurrent depression in adulthood. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) offers unique insights into the neural mechanisms underlying this condition. However, despite previous research, the specific vulnerable brain regions affected in adolescent MDD patients have not been fully elucidated. AIM To identify consistent vulnerable brain regions in adolescent MDD patients using rs-fMRI and activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis. METHODS We performed a comprehensive literature search through July 12, 2023, for studies investigating brain functional changes in adolescent MDD patients. We utilized regional homogeneity (ReHo), amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and fractional ALFF (fALFF) analyses. We compared the regions of aberrant spontaneous neural activity in adolescents with MDD vs healthy controls (HCs) using ALE. RESULTS Ten studies (369 adolescent MDD patients and 313 HCs) were included. Combining the ReHo and ALFF/fALFF data, the results revealed that the activity in the right cuneus and left precuneus was lower in the adolescent MDD patients than in the HCs (voxel size: 648 mm3, P < 0.05), and no brain region exhibited increased activity. Based on the ALFF data, we found decreased activity in the right cuneus and left precuneus in adolescent MDD patients (voxel size: 736 mm3, P < 0.05), with no regions exhibiting increased activity. CONCLUSION Through ALE meta-analysis, we consistently identified the right cuneus and left precuneus as vulnerable brain regions in adolescent MDD patients, increasing our understanding of the neuropathology of affected adolescents.

Abstract
The leopard coral grouper ( Plectropomus leopardus) is a species of significant economic importance. Although artificial cultivation of P. leopardus has thrived in recent decades, the advancement of selective breeding has been hindered by the lack of comprehensive population genomic data. In this study, we identified over 8.73 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) through whole-genome resequencing of 326 individuals spanning six distinct groups. Furthermore, we categorized 226 individuals with high-coverage sequencing depth (≥14×) into eight clusters based on their genetic profiles and phylogenetic relationships. Notably, four of these clusters exhibited pronounced genetic differentiation compared with the other populations. To identify potentially advantageous loci for P. leopardus, we examined genomic regions exhibiting selective sweeps by analyzing the nucleotide diversity ( θπ) and fixation index ( F ST) in these four clusters. Using these high-coverage resequencing data, we successfully constructed the first haplotype reference panel specific to P. leopardus. This achievement holds promise for enabling high-quality, cost-effective imputation methods. Additionally, we combined low-coverage sequencing data with imputation techniques for a genome-wide association study, aiming to identify candidate SNP loci and genes associated with growth traits. A significant concentration of these genes was observed on chromosome 17, which is primarily involved in skeletal muscle and embryonic development and cell proliferation. Notably, our detailed investigation of growth-related SNPs across the eight clusters revealed that cluster 5 harbored the most promising candidate SNPs, showing potential for genetic selective breeding efforts. These findings provide a robust toolkit and valuable insights into the management of germplasm resources and genome-driven breeding initiatives targeting P. leopardus.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that shares some common features of malignancy. Autophagy plays vital roles in endometriosis and influences endometrial cell metastasis, and hypoxia was identified as the initiator of this pathological process through hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α). A newly discovered circular RNA FOXO3 (circFOXO3) is critical in cell autophagy, migration, and invasion of various diseases and is reported to be related to hypoxia, although its role in endometriosis remains to be elucidated up to now. In this study, a lower circFOXO3 expression in ectopic endometrium was investigated. Furthermore, we verified that circFOXO3 could regulate autophagy by downregulating the level of p53 protein to mediate the migration and invasion of human endometrial stromal cells (T HESCs). Additionally, the effects of HIF-1α on circFOXO3 and autophagy were examined in T HESCs. Notably, overexpression of HIF-1α could induce autophagy and inhibit circFOXO3 expression, whereas overexpressing of circFOXO3 under hypoxia significantly inhibited hypoxia-induced autophagy. Mechanistically, the direct combination between HIF-1α and HIF-1α-binding site on adenosine deaminase 1 acting on RNA (ADAR1) promoter increased the level of ADAR1 protein, which bind directly with circFOXO3 pre-mRNA to block the cyclization of circFOXO3. All these results support that hypoxia-mediated ADAR1 elevation inhibited the expression of circFOXO3, and then autophagy was induced upon loss of circFOXO3 via inhibition of p53 degradation, participating in the development of endometriosis.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is one of the prominent features that distinguishes tumor cells from normal cells. The role of metabolic abnormalities in regulating innate immunity is poorly understood. In this study, we found that IDI1 is significantly upregulated in liver cancer. IDI1 has no significant effect on the growth or invasion of liver cancer cells but significantly promotes liver cancer development in mice. Through molecular mechanism studies, we found that IDI1 interacts with the important regulator of innate immunity cGAS and recruits the E3 ligase TRIM41 to promote cGAS ubiquitination and degradation, inhibiting the cGAS-Sting signaling pathway. IDI1 inhibits the phosphorylation of TBK1 and the downstream factor IRF3 as well as the expression of CCL5 and CXCL10. In summary, this study revealed the important role of the metabolic enzyme IDI1 in the regulation of innate immunity, suggesting that it may be a potential target for liver cancer treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between portal vein thrombosis and rebleeding after non-urgent endoscopic treatment of esophagogastric varices. Methods: The cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric varices diagnosed in the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to March 2023 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into thrombotic group and non-thrombotic group according to the presence or absence of portal vein thrombosis. The failure rate of endoscopic treatment and rebleeding rate in different periods were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to select the best cutoff value of gastric varicose diameter that affected total rebleeding during follow-up in both groups. The influencing factors of rebleeding within 12 and 36 months in both groups were analyzed, and the influencing factors of rebleeding within 36 months in thrombus group were further analyzed. Results: A total of 106 patients were enrolled, including 53 patients in the thrombotic group [male 37, female 16, aged 18-78 (54±13) years] and 53 patients in the non-thrombotic group [male 37, female 16, aged 27-83 (55±12) years]. The follow-up time of the two groups were (20±15) and (25±15) months, respectively. The total rebleeding rate in the thrombotic group was higher than that in the non-thrombotic group [30.2% (16/53) vs 13.2% (7/53), P˂0.05]. The rebleeding rates within 6, 12, 24 and 36 months in the thrombotic group were higher than those in the non-thrombotic group [18.9% (10/53) vs 5.7% (3/53), 18.9% (10/53) vs 5.7% (3/53), 28.3% (15/53) vs 9.4% (5/53), 30.2% (16/53) vs 11.3% (6/53), all P˂0.05]. The best cut-off value of the diameter of gastric varices that affects the total rebleeding in the two groups was 10.4 mm (10 mm was selected as the best cut-off value for the convenience of practical clinical application). Hemoglobin ˂ 85 g/L (HR=0.202, 95%CI: 0.043-0.953, P=0.043), 10 mm ˂ the diameter of GV ≤ 15 mm (HR=5.321, 95%CI: 1.161-24.390, P=0.031) and endoscopic variceal ligation combined with endoscopic tissue adhesive injection (EVL+ETAI) (HR=7.172, 95%CI: 1.910-26.930, P=0.004) were the risk factors for the first gastroesophageal variceal rebleeding within 12 months after non-urgent endoscopic treatment. EVL+ETAI (HR=3.811, 95%CI: 1.441-10.084, P=0.007) and portal vein thrombosis (HR=4.026, 95%CI: 1.483-10.932, P=0.006) were the risk factors for the first gastroesophageal variceal rebleeding within 36 months after non-urgent endoscopic treatment. The study found that, 10 mm ˂ the diameter of GV ≤ 15 mm (HR=7.503, 95%CI: 1.568-35.890, P=0.012) was the risk factor for rebleeding within 36 months in the thrombotic group. Conclusion: Portal vein thrombosis is a risk factor for rebleeding after non-urgent endoscopic treatment of esophagogastric varices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The factors influencing fluid absorption in mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (mini-PCNL) are still unknown. We aim to investigate the factors that influence irrigation fluid absorption during mini-PCNL. METHODS A total of 94 patients who underwent mini-PCNL were included in this prospective study. The endoscopic surgical monitoring system (ESMS) was used to measure the volume of irrigation fluid absorbed during the procedure. Irrigating time, the total volume of irrigation fluid, stone size, S.T.O.N.E. score, hemoglobin, electrolyte levels, and postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS A significant correlation was observed between fluid absorption and the presence of postoperative fever, and based on this phenomenon, patients were divided into low and high fluid absorption groups. The serum creatinine level in the high fluid absorption group was significantly high (7 vs. 16.5, p = 0.02). Significant differences were observed between the low and high fluid absorption groups in terms of mean stone size (21.70 mm vs. 26.78 mm), presence of stone burden ≥ 800 mm2 (4% vs. 23%), S.T.O.N.E. score > 8 (4% vs. 38%), the fluid used > 18,596 ml (19% vs. 78%), irrigation time (55.61 min vs. 91.28 min), and perfusion rate (24% vs. 45%) (all p < 0.05). The rates of postoperative fever and SIRS in the high fluid absorption group were significantly high (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Mean stone size, presence of stone burden ≥ 800 mm2, S.T.O.N.E. score > 8, the fluid used > 18596 mL, irrigation time, and perfusion rate are risk factors of intraoperative fluid absorption in mini-PCNL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the corneal biological parameters stability between the different corneal residual bed thickness (RBT) after Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE). METHODS In this prospective clinical trial, 127 eyes of 64 patients underwent SMILE. According to the corneal RBT, the patients were divided into the 250-270 µm, 270-290 µm and 290-310 µm groups. Corvis ST (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) and Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) measurements were performed preoperatively, 1 day, 1week, 1month and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS The keratometer values among the three groups were no significant differences in postoperative periods (each P > 0.05), except the corneal thickness values (each P < 0.05). In the 250-270 µm and 270-290 µm groups, the keratometer and corneal thickness values were decreased at postoperative 1 week and increased at 1 and 3 months. The 290-310 µm group significantly higher posterior maximum elevation (PME) than the 250-270 µm group at 1 and 3 months (P = 0.022, 0.022, respectively), and higher preoperative thinnest point (PTE) at 1 week and 1 month (P = 0.013, 0.035, respectively). The PME of the 290-310 µm group was higher than the 270-290 µm group at 3 months (P = 0.045), and higher PTE at 1 week and 3 months (P = 0.022, 0.02, respectively). In all three groups, the maximal deformation amplitude (DA) was significantly higher at 1 and 3 months compared to postoperative 1 day and 1 week, and the IOP was decreased at 1 month then recovered at 3 months (each P < 0.05).The DA of the 250-270 µm group was significantly higher than the 290-310 µm group at postoperative 1 week, 1 and 3 months (P = 0.001, 0.01, 0.02, respectively). The change of the posterior corneal elevation and biomechanical parameters values were no significant differences among the three groups in postoperative periods (each P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The range of 250-310 µm RBT was safe and stable at the early postoperative of SMILE. The RBT may be positively correlated with the posterior corneal elevation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether or not intermittent hypoxia (IH), the main characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may affect the myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) production of lung fibroblast through the HIF-1α-TGF-β/Smad pathway and assess the interventional role of a HIF-1α inhibitor, 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME2). METHOD The human lung fibroblast MRC5 cells were exposed to normoxia or IH conditions, and the expression of myofibroblast differentiation marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and ECM protein collagen I were evaluated. To clarify the underlying mechanism, the expression level of HIF-1α, TGF-β, and p-Smads/Smads were measured and the effects of inhibiting HIF-1α with 2-ME2 on the α-SMA expression level and ECM production through the TGF-β/Smad pathway were assessed. Si HIF-1α was applied to genetically inhibit HIF-1α in MRC5 cells, and the related proteins were assessed. RESULTS IH increased the protein and mRNA expression of Collagen I and α-SMA of MRC5 cells in a time-dependent manner. IH activated the protein and mRNA level of HIF-1α and TGF-β and increased the phosphorylation of Smad2/Smad3 of MRC5 cells in a time-dependent manner. 2-ME2 inhibited the activation of HIF-1α induced by IH and decreased overexpression of TGF-β, p-Smad2/Smad2, and p-Smad3/Smad3, which in turn partially reversed the upregulation of α-SMA and Collagen I induced by IH in MRC5 cells. When HIF-1α was successfully silenced by si-HIF-1α, upregulation of TGF-β induced by intermittent hypoxia was partially decreased. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that IH contributes to myofibroblast differentiation and excessive ECM production of MRC5 cells through activation of the HIF-1α-TGF-β/Smad pathway. 2-ME2 partially attenuated myofibroblast differentiation induced by IH by inhibiting the HIF-1α-TGF-β/Smad pathway.

Abstract
Carotenoid based body coloration are common features in fish, which depends on the diet derived carotenoids pigments deposition, employing a bunch of carotenoid uptake, absorption and processing related genes. Scavenger receptors are a large family of cell surface receptors with complex structure and diverse functions. However, the SRs genes have been insufficiently explored concerning their role in fish carotenoid coloration. Here, we systemically identified 19 SRs family genes and investigated their expression patterns of in various tissues of P. leopardus. Expression analysis unveiled the diverse involvements of SRs in the intestine of P. leopardus with different body colors and the responses to exogenous carotenoids. Notably, cd36, emerged as a pivotal factor in intestinal functions predominantly localized in the intestinal epithelial and goblet cells. Knockdown of cd36 led to the reduction in skin brightness and carotenoid levels in both intestine and skin, while overexpressing cd36 increased the carotenoids uptake of cells in vitro. Additionally, our investigations revealed that cd36 exerts regulation on genes associated with carotenoid uptake, transport, and processing. To sum up, our results provide a comprehensive view on SRs functions in carotenoid coloration of P. leopardus and will facilitate the understanding on the mechanism of carotenoids coloration of vertebrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to its enormous biomass, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) plays a crucial role in the Antarctic Ocean ecosystem. In recent years, Antarctic krill has found extensive application in aquaculture, emerging as a sustainable source of aquafeed with ideal nutritional profiles. However, a comprehensive study focused on the detailed effects of dietary Antarctic krill on aquaculture animals, especially farmed marine fishes, is yet to be demonstrated. RESULTS In this study, a comparative experiment was performed using juvenile P. leopardus, fed with diets supplemented with Antarctic krill (the krill group) or without Antarctic krill (the control group). Histological observation revealed that dietary Antarctic krill could reduce lipid accumulation in the liver while the intestine exhibited no obvious changes. Enzyme activity measurements demonstrated that dietary Antarctic krill had an inhibitory effect on oxidative stress in both the intestine and the liver. By comparative transcriptome analysis, a total of 1,597 and 1,161 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the intestine and liver, respectively. Functional analysis of the DEGs showed multiple enriched terms significantly related to cholesterol metabolism, antioxidants, and immunity. Furthermore, the expression profiles of representative DEGs, such as dhcr7, apoa4, sc5d, and scarf1, were validated by qRT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Finally, a comparative transcriptome analysis was performed to demonstrate the biased effects of dietary Antarctic krill and astaxanthin on the liver of P. leopardus. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that dietary Antarctic krill could reduce lipid accumulation in the liver of P. leopardus, enhance antioxidant capacities in both the intestine and liver, and exhibit molecular-level improvements in lipid metabolism, immunity, and antioxidants. It will contribute to understanding the protective effects of Antarctic krill in P. leopardus and provide insights into aquaculture nutritional strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep deprivation is a prevalent issue that impacts cognitive function. Although numerous neuroimaging studies have explored the neural correlates of sleep loss, inconsistencies persist in the reported results, necessitating an investigation into the consistent brain functional changes resulting from sleep loss. AIM To establish the consistency of brain functional alterations associated with sleep deprivation through systematic searches of neuroimaging databases. Two meta-analytic methods, signed differential mapping (SDM) and activation likelihood estimation (ALE), were employed to analyze functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. METHODS A systematic search performed according to PRISMA guidelines was conducted across multiple databases through July 29, 2023. Studies that met specific inclu-sion criteria, focused on healthy subjects with acute sleep deprivation and reported whole-brain functional data in English were considered. A total of 21 studies were selected for SDM and ALE meta-analyses. RESULTS Twenty-one studies, including 23 experiments and 498 subjects, were included. Compared to pre-sleep deprivation, post-sleep deprivation brain function was associated with increased gray matter in the right corpus callosum and decreased activity in the left medial frontal gyrus and left inferior parietal lobule. SDM revealed increased brain functional activity in the left striatum and right central posterior gyrus and decreased activity in the right cerebellar gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, corpus callosum, and right cuneus. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis consistently identified brain regions affected by sleep deprivation, notably the left medial frontal gyrus and corpus callosum, shedding light on the neuropathology of sleep deprivation and offering insights into its neurological impact.

Abstract
Xiaoyao Wan (XYW) is a prescription medicine of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with the effects of "soothing the liver and relieving depression," and "strengthening spleen and nourishing blood". XYW has been widely concerned in the treatment of depression and has become one of the commonly used classic formulas in clinical practice. However, the pharmacodynamic substance basis and the quality control studies of XYW are hitherto quite limited. Here, we aim to fully utilize an advanced ultra - performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole - Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS), headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) technique to deep characterization of the pharmacological substance basis and quantitatively evaluate the quality of XYW. Firstly, 299 compounds were identified or tentatively characterized, including 198 non-volatile organic compounds (n-VOCs) and 101 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Secondly, principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) was used to analyze quality differences in XYW at different manufacturers. Thirdly, a parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) method was established and validated to quantify the fourteen major effective substances in different manufacturers of XYW, which were chosen as the benchmarked substances to evaluate the quality of XYW. In conclusion, this study shows that the strategy provides a useful method for quality control of TCM and offers a practical workflow for exploring the quality consistency of TCM.

Abstract
Background Tuberculosis continues to be a significant public health concern in China, particularly among the elderly population. This study aimed to assess the risk factors of tuberculosis among elderly individuals in China through a cohort study, focusing on this high-risk population. Methods The population-based census was strategically designed to cover diverse regions and demographics across the city. The survey captured demographic and lifestyle information, as well as a clinical examination. Participants were prospectively followed up over a specified duration to monitor the incidence of tuberculosis cases. Results After a follow-up period of more than 7 years, 246 individuals developed tuberculosis, resulting in an incidence rate of 92.21 per 100,000 person-years (95 % CI 81.2-104.3). In multivariate analysis, the following factors were found to have significant associations with active tuberculosis. Increasing age correlated with a higher risk of active tuberculosis (AHR = 1.03 per 1-year increase in age, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.04, P < 0.001). Males continued to have a higher risk compared to females (HR = 2.73, 95%CI: 2.08, 3.58, P < 0.001). Individuals with a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) faced nearly three times higher risk compared to their obese counterparts (HR = 2.87, 95 % CI: 1.51, 5.46, P = 0.001). Conversely, those with an underweight BMI had a ten-fold higher risk compared to the obese group (HR = 9.89, 95 % CI: 4.92, 19.85, P < 0.001). Elderly individuals who quit smoking had a 1.35-fold increased risk compared to non-smokers (HR = 1.35, 95%CI: 1.12, 1.64, P < 0.001). Conclusions Tuberculosis incidence among the elderly population in China remained alarmingly high. This finding emphasizes the urgent need for implementing proactive case detection measures specifically tailored to address the specific needs of this vulnerable demographic, particularly in individuals who are male, have a history of former or current smoking, and have a low BMI. Moreover, we must not underestimate the influence of former smoking on tuberculosis risk.

Abstract
The differentiation and developmental trajectory of fish gonads, significantly important for fish breeding, culture, and production, has long been a focal point in the fields of fish genetics and developmental biology. However, the mechanism of gonadal differentiation in leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) remains unclear. This study investigates the 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (Hsd17b) gene family in P. leopardus, with a focus on gene characterization, expression profiling, and functional analysis. The results reveal that the P. leopardus's Hsd17b gene family comprises 11 members, all belonging to the SDR superfamily. The amino acid similarity is only 12.96%, but conserved motifs, such as TGxxxGxG and S-Y-K, are present in these genes. Hsd17b12a and Hsd17b12b are unique homologs in fish, and chromosomal localization has confirmed that they are not derived from different transcripts of the same gene, but rather are two independent genes. The Hsd17b family genes, predominantly expressed in the liver, heart, gills, kidneys, and gonads, are involved in synthesizing or metabolizing sex steroid hormones and neurotransmitters, with their expression patterns during gonadal development categorized into three distinct categories. Notably, Hsd17b4 and Hsd17b12a were highly expressed in the testis and ovary, respectively, suggesting their involvement in the development of reproductive cells in these organs. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) further indicated specific expression sites for these genes, with Hsd17b4 primarily expressed in germ stem cells and Hsd17b12a in oocytes. This comprehensive study provides foundational insights into the role of the Hsd17b gene family in gonadal development and steroidogenesis in P. leopardus, contributing to the broader understanding of fish reproductive biology and aquaculture breeding.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SANzymes) emerge as promising alternatives to conventional enzymes. However, chemical instability limits their application. Here, a systematic synthesis of highly active and stable SANzymes is presented by leveraging noble metal-porphyrins. Four noble metal-porphyrins are successfully synthesized to mimic the active site of natural peroxidases through atomic metal-N coordination anchored to the porphyrin center. These noble metal-porphyrins are integrated into a stable and biocompatible Zr-based metal-organic framework (MxP, x denoting Ir, Ru, Pt, and Pd). Among these, MIrP demonstrates superior peroxidase-like activity (685.61 U mg-1 ), catalytic efficiency, and selectivity compared to horseradish peroxidase (267.71 U mg-1 ). Mechanistic investigations unveil heightened catalytic activity of MIrP arises from its robust H2 O2 adsorption capacity, unique rate-determining step, and low energy threshold. Crucially, MIrP exhibits remarkable chemical stability under both room temperature and high H2 O2 concentrations. Further, through modification with (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate, a natural ligand for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 1, targeted SANzyme (MIrPHE) tailored for EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma is engineered. This study not only presents an innovative strategy for augmenting the catalytic activity and chemical stability of SANzymes but also highlights the substantial potential of MIrP as a potent nanomedicine for targeted catalytic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Background Asthma is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, reversible airway obstruction, and chronic airway inflammation. It is the most common chronic disease in childhood. However, the diagnosis of childhood asthma remains challenging, and there is an urgent need to develop new diagnostic methods. Methods To identify biomarkers of asthma in children, we adopted the Orbitrap-based data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry proteomics method to analyze the serum proteomic signatures of children with acute asthma and convalescent children. Results We identified 747 proteins in 46 serum samples and 50 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) that distinguished between asthmatic and healthy children. Next, functional enrichment analysis of the DEPs was conducted, it was indicated that the DEPs were significantly enriched in immune-related and function terms and pathways. Furthermore, we performed statistical analysis and identified MMP14, ABHD12B, PCYOX1, LTBP1, CFHR4, APOA1, IGHG4, ANG and IGFALS proteins as the diagnostic biomarker candidates. Ultimately, a promising asthma diagnostic model for preschool children based on IGFALS was built and evaluated. The area under the curve (AUC) of the IGFALS model was 0.959. Conclusions In this study, the DIA proteome strategy was used and the largest number of proteins of asthmatic children serum proteomics was identified. The proteomics results showed that the DEPs play the central role of the inflammation-immune mechanism in asthma pathogenesis, suggesting that these proteins may be used in asthma diagnosis, prognosis, or therapy, and suggested biomarkers for asthma of preschool children. In conclusion, our results provide insight into the pathophysiology of asthma. We believe that the diagnostic model will facilitate clinical decision-making regarding asthma in preschool children.

Abstract
The flower buds of three Panax species (PGF: P. ginseng; PQF: P. quinquefolius; PNF: P. notoginseng) widely consumed as health tea are easily confused in market circulation. We aimed to develop a green, fast, and easy analysis strategy to distinguish PGF, PQF, and PNF. In this work, fast gas chromatography electronic nose (fast GC e-nose), headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), and headspace solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) were utilized to comprehensively analyze the volatile organic components (VOCs) of three flowers. Meanwhile, a principal component analysis (PCA) and heatmap were applied to distinguish the VOCs identified in PGF, PQF, and PNF. A random forest (RF) analysis was used to screen key factors affecting the discrimination. As a result, 39, 68, and 78 VOCs were identified in three flowers using fast GC e-nose, HS-GC-IMS, and HS-SPME-GC-MS. Nine VOCs were selected as potential chemical markers based on a model of RF for distinguishing these three species. Conclusively, a complete VOC analysis strategy was created to provide a methodological reference for the rapid, simple, and environmentally friendly detection and identification of food products (tea, oil, honey, etc.) and herbs with flavor characteristics and to provide a basis for further specification of their quality and base sources.

Abstract
Current therapies for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can slow disease progression but cannot cure the infection, as it is difficult to eliminate or permanently silence HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). The interaction between host factors and cccDNA is essential for their formation, stability, and transcriptional activity. Here, we focused on the regulatory role of the host factor ENPP1 and its interacting transcription factor LMNB1 in HBV replication and transcription to better understand the network of host factors that regulate HBV, which may facilitate the development of new antiviral drugs. Overexpression of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) in Huh7 cells decreased HBV pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) expression levels, whereas knockdown of ENPP1 increased them. A series of HBV promoter and mutant plasmids were constructed, and a luciferase reporter assay showed that overexpression of ENPP1 caused inhibition of the HBV promoter and its mutants. A DNA pull-down assay showed that lamin B1 (LMNB1), but not ENPP1, interacts directly with the HBV enhancer II/ basic core promoter (EnhII/BCP). ZDOCK and PyMOL software were used to predict the interaction of ENPP1 with LMNB1. Overexpression of LMNB1 inhibited the activity of the HBV promoter and its mutant. The acetylation levels at the amino acids 111K, 261K, and 483K of LMNB1 were reduced compared to the control, and an LMNB1 acetylation mutant containing 111R, 261Q, 261R, 483Q, and 483R showed increased promoter activity. In summary, ENPP1 together with LMNB1 increased the acetylation level at 111K and 261K, and LMNB1 inhibited the activity of HBV promoter and downregulated the expression of pregenomic RNA and HBcAg. Our follow-up studies will investigate the expression, clinical significance, and relevance of ENPP1 and LMNB1 in HBV patient tissues, explore the effect of LMNB1 on post-transcriptional progression, and examine whether ENPP1 can reduce cccDNA levels in the nucleus.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present the widely unknown perioperative outcomes and continence status of bladder cancer patients following robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with Mainz pouch II urinary diversion (UD). MATERIALS AND METHODS From November 2020 to December 2023, 37 bladder cancer patients who underwent RARC with Mainz pouch II UD were retrospectively assessed (ChiCTR2300070279). The results, which included patient demographics, perioperative data, continence, and complications (early ≤ 30 days and late ≤ 30 days) were reported using the RC-pentafecta criteria. RC-pentafecta criteria included ≥ 16 lymph nodes removed, negative soft tissue surgical margins, absence of major (Grade III-IV) complication at 90 days, absence of clinical recurrence at ≤ 12 months, and absence of long-term UD-related sequelae. A numeric rating scale assessed patient satisfaction with urinary continence 30 days after surgery. The validated Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) questionnaire was used to evaluate bowel function. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to evaluate overall survival (OS). RESULTS Of the 37 patients evaluated over a median (range) follow-up period of 23.0 (12.0-36.5) months. The median (range) age was 65 (40-81) years. The median (range) time to urinary continence after surgery was 2.3 (1.5-6) months. Of the 37 patients, 31 (83.8%) were continent both during the day and at night, 34 (91.9%) were continent during the day, 32 (86.5%) were continent at night, 35 (94.6%) were satisfied with their urinary continence status, and 21 (56.8%) were very satisfied. The mean (range) voiding frequency was 6 (4-10) during the day and 3 (2-5.5) at night. The mean (range) PAC-SYM total score was 9.50 (4.00-15.00). In 12 (32.4%) of the patients, RC-pentafecta was achieved, and achieving RC-pentafecta was linked to better satisfaction scores (7.3 vs. 5.5, p = 0.034). There was no significant difference between RC-pentafecta and No RC-pentafecta groups in terms of OS (25.6 vs. 21.5 months, p = 0.16). 7 (19.4%) patients experienced late complications. CONCLUSIONS Mainz pouch II UD following RARC in bladder cancer patients results in a satisfactory continence rate. Achieving RC-pentafecta was correlated with better satisfaction scores. The intracorporeal approach to Mainz pouch II UD is beneficial for female patients due to its reduced invasiveness.

Abstract
Study question In infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is the sequential use of letrozole 2.5 mg/follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) more effective than letrozole 5 mg/FSH in stimulating ovulation and promoting pregnancy? Research design and methods The study was designed as a prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled pragmatic clinical trial. 220 infertile women between the ages of 20 and 40, who matched the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS and had no other identified reasons for infertility were enrolled from April 2023 to July 2023.The participants were randomly assigned to two groups in a 1:1 ratio. One group received 2.5 mg of letrozole on cycle days 3-7 with a sequential injection of 75 IU FSH on cycle days 8-10 (n = 110), while the other group received 5 mg of letrozole on cycle days 3-7 with a sequential injection of 75 IU FSH on cycle days 8-10 (n = 110). The duration of FSH treatment varied depending on the follicular development stage. Each participant underwent one to three treatment cycles until achieving pregnancy.The primary outcome was the cumulative pregnancy rate of all the participants. Secondary outcomes included characteristics and clinical pregnancy rates of all the intervention cycles. Results For all 220 participants, the sequential letrozole 2.5 mg/FSH treatment group had a significantly higher cumulative pregnancy rate compared to the letrozole 5 mg/FSH treatment group (72.7% versus 59.1%, RR (95%CI) = 1.23 (1.02, 1.49), P-value = 0.033). For all 468 intervention cycles, letrozole 2.5 mg/FSH group had a significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate than the letrozole 5 mg/FSH group (36.2% versus 26.3%, P-value = 0.021), no statistically significant differences were observed in ovulation rates or adverse effects. Conclusions The data indicate that the sequential letrozole 2.5mg/FSH protocol may be more effective than the sequential letrozole 5mg/FSH protocol for promoting pregnancy in infertile women with PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system. Nevertheless, current therapies do not provide satisfactory results. It is imperative that novel strategies should be developed for treating bladder cancer. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic agent, Ivermectin, on bladder cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. METHODS CCK-8 and EdU incorporation assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, TUNEL assay, and western blotting. Flow cytometry and DCFH-DA assay were used to analyze the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. DNA damage was determined by Neutral COMET assay and γ H2AX expression. Proteins related to apoptosis and DNA damage pathways were determined by WB assay. Xenograft tumor models in nude mice were used to investigate the anti-cancer effect of Ivermectin in vivo. RESULTS Our study showed that in vitro and in vivo, Ivermectin inhibited the growth of bladder cancer cells. In addition, Ivermectin could induce apoptosis, ROS production, DNA damage, and activate ATM/P53 pathwayrelated proteins in bladder cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS According to these findings, Ivermectin may be a potential therapeutic candidate against bladder cancer due to its significant anti-cancer effect.

Abstract
Background: Intravesical chemotherapy is highly recommended after transurethral resection of bladder tumor for patients with bladder cancer (BCa). However, this localized adjuvant therapy has drawbacks of causing indiscriminate damage and inability to penetrate bladder mucosal. Methods: Fluorinated polylysine micelles (PLLF) were synthesized by reacting polylysine (PLL) with heptafluorobutyrate anhydride. Anti-apoptotic gene defender against cell death 1 (DAD1) was selected by different gene expression analysis between BCa patients and healthy individuals and identified by several biological function assays. The gene transfection ability of PLLF was verified by multiple in vitro and in vivo assays. The therapeutic efficiency of PLLF nanoparticles (NPs) targeting DAD1 were confirmed by intravesical administration using an orthotopic BCa mouse model. Results: Decorated with fluorinated chains, PLL can self-assemble to form NPs and condense plasmids with excellent gene transfection efficiency in vitro. Loading with the CRISPR-Cas9 system designed to target DAD1 (Cas9-sgDAD1), PLLF/Cas9-sgDAD1 NPs strongly inhibited the expression of DAD1 in BCa cells and induced BCa cell apoptosis through the MAPK signaling pathway. Furthermore, intravesical administration of PLLF/Cas9-sgDAD1 NPs resulted in significant therapeutic outcomes without systemic toxicity in vivo. Conclusion: The synthetized PLLF can transmucosally deliver the CRISPR-Cas9 system into orthotopic BCa tissues to improve intravesical instillation therapy for BCa. This work presents a new strategy for targeting DAD1 gene in the intravesical therapy for BCa with high potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To evaluate the clinical results and safety of fungal periprosthetic joint Infections (fPJIs) using two-stage treatment protocol. MATERIAL AND METHODS 8 patients with fPJIs (3 hips and 5 knees) using two-stage revision were reviewed retrospectively and followed up at least 2 years. The preoperative demographic data, two-stage treatment protocol, results of microbiology and histologic workup and postoperative follow-up results (reimplantation success rate and infection free time) were recorded. RESULTS 7 patients got successful reimplantation, with a 75% reimplantation success rate. Two patients got knee arthrodesis eventually. All patients were infection free with a median follow-up of 4.0 ± 2.0 years (range, 2-7 years). Of them, Candida species were found in 7 patients, while non-Candida specimen was only isolated in 1 patient with Aspergillus. Only 2 patients had coexisting bacterial infection (Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci and Proteus mirabilis respectively). The average interval between the initial surgery and diagnosis of fPJIs was 21.50±34.79 months (range, 4-104 months). The mean time of spacer implantation was 7.75±2.77 months (range, 6-14 months). None serious complication or above knee amputation was found. DISCUSSION fPJIs are very rare and considerable challenge after total hip or knee arthroplasty. The goal of therapy is to eradicate local infection and maintain function. Candida species were the most common pathogen. The duration between spacer placement and staged reimplantation was highly variable, and generally dependent upon the results of joint aspirates and infl ammatory markers. The current study shows that the two-stage treatment protocol is recommended for fungal periprosthetic hip and knee joint infections. CONCLUSIONS The two-stage treatment protocol is recommended for fungal periprosthetic hip and knee joint infections. The safety and effi cacy of biantibiotical impregnated (antifungal + antibiotics) cement spacer is confi rmed. Further evidence-based work is needed to determine the optimal drug dose and reimplantation time. KEY WORDS two-stage treatment protocol, fungal periprosthetic infections, hip spacer, knee spacer.

Abstract
The leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus), which has become increasingly popular in consumption due to its bright body color and great nutritional, holds a high economic and breeding potential. However, in recent years, the P.leopardus aquaculture industry has been impeded by the nervous necrosis virus (NNV) outbreak, leading to widespread mortality among fry and juvenile grouper. However, the genetic basis of resistance to NNV in P. leopardus remains to be investigated. In the present study, we conducted a genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) on 100 resistant and 100 susceptible samples to discover variants and potential genes linked with NNV resistance. For this study, 157,926 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on whole genome resequencing were discovered, and eighteen SNPs loci linked to disease resistance were discovered. We annotated six relevant candidate genes, including sik2, herc2, pip5k1c, npr1, mybpc3, and arhgap9, which showed important roles in lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and neuronal survival. In the brain tissues of resistant and susceptible groups, candidate genes against NNV infection showed significant differential expression. The results indicate that regulating neuronal survival or pathways involved in lipid metabolism may result in increased resistance to NNV. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to NNV resistance will be beneficial for the growth of the P. leopardus breeding sector. Additionally, the identified SNPs could be employed as biomarkers of disease resistance in P. leopardus, which will facilitate the selective breeding of grouper.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the key genes and molecular pathways in the progression of thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC) promoted by testosterone using RNA-sequencing technology, and to provide new drug targets for improving the therapeutic effect of PTC. METHODS Orchiectomy (ORX) was carried out to construct ORX mouse models. TPC-1 cells were subcutaneously injected for PTC formation in mice, and the tumor tissues were collected for RNA-seq. The key genes were screened by bioinformatics technology. Tnnt1 expression in PTC cells was knocked down or overexpressed by transfection. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation assay, scratch assay and transwell assay were adopted, respectively, for the detection of cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion. Besides, quantification real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot were utilized to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of genes in tissues or cells. RESULTS Both estradiol and testosterone promoted the growth of PTC xenografts. The key gene Tnnt1 was screened and obtained by bioinformatics technology. Functional analysis revealed that overexpression of Tnnt1 could markedly promote the proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of PTC cells, as well as could activate p38/JNK pathway. In addition, si-Tnt1 was able to inhibit the cancer-promoting effect of testosterone. CONCLUSION Based on the outcomes of bioinformatics and basic experiments, it is found that testosterone can promote malignant behaviors such as growth, migration, invasion and EMT process of PTC by up-regulating Tnnt1 expression. In addition, the function of testosterone may be achieved by activating p38/JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Qingjin Yiqi granule (QYG) is a prescription medicine of traditional Chinese medicine which is widely used clinically for the recovery of coronavirus patients. However, there is currently limited research on the quality control of QYG. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of QYG qualitatively and quantitatively by making full use of advanced chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques. METHODS Firstly, a multicomponent characterisation of QYG was performed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a Q Exactive™ hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS) system using a rapid negative/positive switching mode. Secondly, the co-condition fingerprint analysis of constituted herbal medicines of QYG was performed to unveil active ingredients as the quality markers of QYG. Thirdly, the marker compounds in 10 batches of QYG were quantified by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a Waters Xevo TQ-S triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-QQQ-MS) system. RESULTS A comprehensive method that combined the inclusion list and data-dependent acquisition (DDA) to achieve a systematic characterisation of QYG was established by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS. After analysis based on Compound Discoverer software and Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) platform, a total of 332 compounds were detected. Eleven Q-markers were determined for the quality evaluation of QYG by comparison with the fingerprint of nine constituted herbal medicines. An adjusted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) quantification method was further established to simultaneously determine the 11 Q-markers for holistic quality evaluation of QYG. CONCLUSION This is the first study to report comprehensive multicomponent characterisation, identification, and quality assessment of QYG, which could be used for effective guarantee of the quality of QYG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to find coronary artery disease (CAD) related apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) and to evaluate the diagnostic value of the assay based on it. METHODS Patients with CAD diagnosed by coronary angiography (disease group, n = 180) and healthy subjects (control group, n = 199) were recruited. The correlation between methods and CAD were evaluated by Spearman's rank correlation coefficients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the auxiliary diagnostic value of methods for CAD. Odds ratios (ORs) of the test results in CAD were estimated using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Measurements from an ApoA1 mAb were found significantly positively correlated with CAD (r = 0.243, P < 0.01), unlike the measurements from the ApoA1 pAb were negatively correlated with CAD (r = -0.341, P < 0.001). The areas under the ROC curve of the ApoA1 mAb and pAb measurements were 0.704 and 0.563, respectively, in patients with normal HDL-C levels. ApoA1 values from the mAb assay had a significant positive impact on CAD risk. CONCLUSION An ApoA1 mAb-based assay can distinguish a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclass positively related to CAD, which can be used to improve and reappraise CAD risk assessment.

Planar defects are known to be of importance in affecting the functional properties of materials. Translational antiphase boundaries (APBs) in particular have attracted considerable attention in perovskite oxides, but little is known in lead-free antiferroelectric oxides that are promising candidates for energy storage applications. Here, we present a study of translational APBs in prototypical antiferroelectric NaNbO3 using aberration-corrected (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques at different length scales. The translational APBs in NaNbO3 are characterized by a 2-fold-modulated structure, which is antipolar in nature and exhibits a high density, different from the polar nature and lower density in PbZrO3. The high stability of translational APBs against external electric fields and elevated temperatures was revealed using ex situ and in situ TEM experiments and is expected to be associated with their antipolar nature. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that translational APBs possess only slightly higher free energy than the antiferroelectric and ferroelectric phase energies with differences of 29 and 33 meV/f.u., respectively, justifying their coexistence down to the nanoscale at room temperature. These results provide a detailed atomistic elucidation of translational APBs in NaNbO3 with antipolar character and stability against external stimuli, establishing the basis of defect engineering of antiferroelectrics for energy storage devices.

Abstract
The spread of many infectious diseases relies on aerosol transmission to the respiratory tract. Here we design an intranasal mask comprising a positively-charged thermosensitive hydrogel and cell-derived micro-sized vesicles with a specific viral receptor. We show that the positively charged hydrogel intercepts negatively charged viral aerosols, while the viral receptor on vesicles mediates the entrapment of viruses for inactivation. We demonstrate that when displaying matched viral receptors, the intranasal masks protect the nasal cavity and lung of mice from either severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or influenza A virus. With computerized tomography images of human nasal cavity, we further conduct computational fluid dynamics simulation and three-dimensional printing of an anatomically accurate human nasal cavity, which is connected to human lung organoids to generate a human respiratory tract model. Both simulative and experimental results support the suitability of intranasal masks in humans, as the likelihood of viral respiratory infections induced by different variant strains is dramatically reduced.

Abstract
Background The relationship between leisure sedentary behavior (LSB) and periodontitis risk remains unclear in terms of causality and the potential mediating effects of intermediate factors. Materials and methods Using the aggregate data of several large-scale genetic association studies from participants of European descent, we conducted a univariate, two-step, and multivariate Mendelian random (MR) analysis to infer the overall effect of LSB on periodontitis, and quantified the intermediary proportion of intermediary traits such as smoking. Results Our findings indicated that per 1-SD increase (1.87 h) in leisure screen time (LST), there was a 23 % increase in the risk of periodontitis. [odds ratios (95 % CI) = 1.23 (1.04-1.44), p = 0.013]. Smoking was found to partially mediate the overall causal effect of LST on periodontitis, with a mediation rate of 20.7 % (95 % CI: 4.9%-35.5 %). Multivariate MR analysis demonstrated that the causal effect of LST on periodontitis was weakened when adjusting for smoking, resulting in an odds ratio of 1.19 (95 % CI: 1.01-1.39, p = 0.049) for each 1 standard deviation increase in exposure. Conclusion The study provides evidence of a potential causal relationship between LSB characterized by LST and periodontitis, thereby further supporting the notion that reducing LSB is beneficial for health. Furthermore, it confirms the role of smoking as a mediator in this process, suggesting that inhibiting smoking behavior among individuals with long-term LSB may serve as a strategy to mitigate the risk of periodontitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Conformal sphincter preservation operation (CSPO) is a sphincter preservation operation for very low rectal cancers. Compared to intersphincteric resection (ISR), CSPO retains more dentate line and distal rectal wall, and also avoids damaging the nerves in the intersphincteric space. This study aimed to compare the postoperative anal function and quality of life between the CSPO and ISR. METHOD Patients with low rectal cancer undergoing CSPO (n = 117) and ISR (n = 66) were included from Changhai and Huashan Hospital, respectively, between 2011 and 2020. A visual analog scale (range 0-10) was utilized to evaluate satisfaction with anal function and quality of life. The anal function was evaluated with Wexner scores and low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) score. Quality of life was evaluated with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR38. RESULTS The CSPO group had more male patients (65.8% vs. 50%, p = 0.042), more preoperative chemoradiotherapy (33.3% vs. 10.6%, p < 0.001), lower tumor position (3.45 ± 1.13 vs. 4.24 ± 0.86 cm, p < 0.001), and more postoperative chemotherapy (65% vs. 13.6%, p < 0.001) compared to the ISR group. In addition, CSPO patients had shorter postoperative stay (6.63 ± 2.53 vs. 7.85 ± 4.73 days, p = 0.003) and comparable stoma reversal rates within 1 year after surgery (92.16% vs. 96.97%, p = 0.318). Multivariable analysis showed that CSPO significantly contributed to higher satisfaction with anal function (beta = 1.752, 95% CI 0.776-2.728) and with quality of life (beta = 1.219, 95% CI 0.374-2.064), but not to Wexner, LARS score, or EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR38. CONCLUSION CSPO improved the satisfaction with anal function and quality of life but utilized more preoperative chemoradiotherapy. CSPO may be an alternative choice for patients with very low rectal cancers in better physical health and with higher requirements for anal function and quality of life.

Abstract
AIM To compare the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters, specifically true diffusion coefficient (D), pseudo diffusion coefficient (D∗), and perfusion fraction (f) for quantitatively differentiating benign and malignant renal lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in the EMBASE and PubMed databases before September 2022 to identify studies in English investigating the diagnostic accuracy of DWI and IVIM in renal lesions. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) values were estimated for each parameter. RESULTS A total of 19 studies involving 1,860 renal lesions (1,160 malignant and 700 benign), met the inclusion criteria. Among these studies, 15 assessed the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), four assessed IVIM, and three evaluated both ADC and IVIM. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC for ADC were 0.84 (95% confidence interval [Cl], 0.79-0.88), 0.82 (95% Cl, 0.72-0.89), and 0.89 (95% Cl, 0.86-0.92), respectively. The IVIM parameter with the highest diagnostic accuracy was D, with a pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 0.89 (95% Cl, 0.74-0.96), 0.96 (95% Cl, 0.85-0.99), and 0.98 (95% Cl, 0.96-0.99), respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and AUC for f were 0.67 (95% Cl, 0.55-0.77), 0.81 (95% Cl, 0.30-0.98), and 0.73 (95% Cl, 0.69-0.77), respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC for D∗ were 0.87 (95% Cl, 0.81-0.91), 0.59 (95% Cl, 0.48-0.70), and 0.82 (95% Cl, 0.78-0.85), respectively. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis indicated that both IVIM and DWI had moderate to high diagnostic accuracy for differentiating benign and malignant renal lesions. Among the IVIM parameter, D exhibited the highest diagnostic accuracy, demonstrating higher sensitivity and specificity than ADC, D∗, and f.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computer-aided diagnosis is of great significance to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pancreatic cancer that has an insidious course and does not have obvious symptoms at first. However, segmentation of pancreatic cancer is challenging because the tumors vary in size with the smallest tumor having a size of about 0.5c m $cm$ in diameter, and most of them have irregular shapes and unclear boundaries. PURPOSE In this study, we developed a deep learning architecture Multi-Scale Channel Attention Unet (MSCA-Unet) for pancreatic tumor segmentation and collected CT images of 419 patients from The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University and a public dataset. We embedded the multi-scale network into the encoder to extract semantic information at different scales and the decoder to provide supplemental information to overcome the loss of information in the upsampling and the drift of the localized tumor due to the upsampling and skip connections. METHODS We adopted the channel attention unit after the multi-scale convolution to emphasize the informative channels, which was observed to have the effects of accelerating the positioning process, reducing false positives, and improving the accuracy of outlining very small, irregular pancreatic tumors. RESULTS Our results show that our network outperformed the other current mainstream segmentation networks and achieved a Dice index of 68.03%, a Jaccard of 59.31%, and an FPR of 1.36% on the private dataset Task-01 without data pre-processing. Compared with the other pancreatic tumor segmentation networks on the public dataset Task-02, our network produced the best Dice index, 80.12%, with the assistance of the data pre-processing scheme. CONCLUSIONS This study strategically utilizes the multi-scale convolution and channel attention mechanism of the architecture to provide a dedicated network for segmentation of small and irregular pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unexplained recurrent spontaneous pregnancy loss (URPL) lacks effective treatment and reliable early diagnosis and prediction. Immunologic dysfunction can be an underlying cause of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Considering the regulatory role of CD40-CD40L in immune responses, we explored its clinical significance in URPL. METHODS The 108 women with URPL who were treated in Hebei Yanda Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as study subjects, and another 108 healthy women who were not pregnant and matched with the age and body mass index of the study group were selected as the control group. CD40 and CD4 + CD25 + Treg cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and CD40L in peripheral blood platelets were measured by flow cytometry. The predictive value of CD40-CD40L in URPL for the risk of RPL was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The correlations of CD40-CD40L with CD4 + CD25 + Treg cells and serum pro-inflammatory factors were assessed by Pearson's analysis. RESULTS CD40 on the surface of PBMCs and CD40L on the surface of platelets were up-regulated in URPL patients. CD40 in combination with CD40L had high predictive value for the risk of RPL in URPL patients. Peripheral blood CD40-CD40L was positively linked to IL-17 and IL-23, and negatively to CD4 + CD25 + Treg cells and IL-10 in URPL patients. CONCLUSIONS The CD40-CD40L pathway expression in peripheral blood can help predict the risk of RPL in URPL patients.
