Abstract
Clinical pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treatment is severely limited by lack of effective KRAS suppression strategies. To address this dilemma, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive and PDAC-targeted nanodrug named Z/B-PLS was constructed to confront KRAS through dual-blockade of its downstream PI3K/AKT/mTOR and RAF/MEK/ERK for enhanced PDAC treatment. Specifically, photosensitizer zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 (BEZ) were co-loaded into PLS which was constructed by click chemistry conjugating MEK inhibitor selumetinib (SEL) to low molecular weight heparin with ROS-responsive oxalate bond. The BEZ and SEL blocked PI3K/AKT/mTOR and RAF/MEK/ERK respectively to remodel glycolysis and non-canonical glutamine metabolism. ZnPc mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) could enhance drug release through ROS generation, further facilitating KRAS downstream dual-blockade to create treatment-promoting drug delivery-therapeutic positive feedback. Benefiting from this broad metabolic modulation cascade, the metabolic symbiosis between normoxic and hypoxic tumor cells was also cut off simultaneously and effective tumor vascular normalization effects could be achieved. As a result, PDT was dramatically promoted through glycolysis-non-canonical glutamine dual-metabolism regulation, achieving complete elimination of tumors in vivo. Above all, this study achieved effective multidimensional metabolic modulation based on integrated smart nanodrug delivery, helping overcome the therapeutic challenges posed by KRAS mutations of PDAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fatigue has a considerable impact on the driver's vehicle and even the driver's own operating ability. METHODS An intelligent algorithm is proposed for the problem that it is difficult to classify the degree of drowsiness generated by the driver during the driving process. By studying the driver's electrocardiogram (ECG) during driving, two models were established to jointly classify the ECG signals as awake, stress, and fatigue or drowsiness states for drowsiness levels. Firstly, the deep learning method was used to establish the model_1 to predict the drowsiness of the original ECG, and model_2 was developed using the combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and weighted K-nearest neighbor (WKNN) algorithm to classify the heart rate variability characteristics. Then, the drowsiness prediction results of the two models were weighted according to certain rules, and the hybrid learning model combining dilated convolution and bidirectional long short-term memory network with PCA and WKNN algorithm was established, and the mixed model was denoted as DiCNN-BiLSTM and PCA-WKNN (DBPW). Finally, the validity of the DBPW model was verified by simulation of the public database. RESULTS The experimental results show that the average accuracy, sensitivity and F1 score of the test model in the dataset containing multiple drivers are 98.79, 98.81, and 98.79 % respectively, and the recognition accuracy for drowsiness or drowsiness state is 99.33 %. CONCLUSIONS Using the proposed algorithm, it is possible to identify driver anomalies and provide new ideas for the development of intelligent vehicles.

Abstract
Lead-free inorganic perovskites have attracted intensive attention in the field of photodetectors owing to their high stability, non-toxicity, and remarkable photoelectric characteristics. Herein, we designed and developed a series of thus-far unreported lead-free all inorganic perovskite single crystals, K7Bi3X16 (X = Cl, Br). In particular, we resorted to cooling crystallization and intercalated K+ to inorganic Bi-Br and Bi-Cl frameworks as inorganic A-site cations, obtaining zero-dimensional (0D) K7Bi3X16 (X = Cl, Br) perovskite single crystals, which display suitable bandgaps, excellent electron mobility and low trap-state density, as analysed by experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Accordingly, the vertical structure K7Bi3Br16 photodetector can achieve a fast ON/OFF switch under the irradiation of 395 nm light. When the light intensity is 5 mW cm-2 and the voltage is 3 V, the responsivity is calculated to be 0.052 mA W-1. The above characteristics make K7Bi3Br16 a promising material for fabricating ultraviolet photodetectors.

Abstract
Enterococcus durans, is a potential functional strain with the capacity to regulate intestinal health and ameliorate colonic inflammation. However, the strain requires further investigation regarding its safety profile and potential mechanisms of colitis improvement. In this study, the safety of E. durans 98D (Ed) as a potential probiotic was studied using in vitro methods. Additionally, a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine colitis model was employed to investigate its impact on the intestinal microbiota and colitis. In vitro antimicrobial assays revealed Ed sensitivity to common antibiotics and its inhibitory effect on the growth of Escherichia coli O157, Streptococcus pneumoniae CCUG 37328, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. To elucidate the functional properties of Ed, 24 weight-matched 6-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups (n = 8): NC group, Con group (DSS), and Ed group (DSS + Ed). Ed administration demonstrated a protective effect on colitis mice, as evidenced by improvements in body weight, colonic length, reduced disease activity index, histological scores, diminished splenomegaly, and decreased goblet cell loss. Furthermore, Ed downregulated the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine genes (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and upregulated the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine gene IL-10. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed significant alterations in microbial α-diversity, with principal coordinate analysis indicating distinct differences in microbial composition among the three groups. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of Actinomycetota significantly increased in the Ed-treated group. At the genus level, Ed treatment markedly elevated the relative abundance of Paraprevotella, Rikenellaceae_RC9, and Odoribacter in DSS-induced colitis mice. In conclusion, Ed exhibits potential as a safe and effective therapeutic agent for DSS-induced colitis by reshaping the colonic microbiota.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an immuno-inflammatory disease characterized by excessive keratinocyte proliferation, requiring extensive lipids. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A synthase 1 (HMGCS1) is an essential enzyme in the mevalonate pathway, involved in cholesterol synthesis and the inflammatory response. However, the role of HMGCS1 in psoriasis has remained elusive. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism by which HMGCS1 controls psoriasiform inflammation. We discovered an increased abundance of HMGCS1 in psoriatic lesions when analyzing two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and confirmed this in psoriatic animal models and psoriatic patients by immunohistochemistry. In a TNF-α stimulated psoriatic HaCaT cell line, HMGCS1 was found to be overexpressed. Knockdown of HMGCS1 using siRNA suppressed the migration and proliferation of HaCaT cells. Mechanistically, HMGCS1 downregulation also reduced the expression of IL-23 and the STAT3 phosphorylation level. In imiquimod-induced psoriatic mice, intradermal injection of HMGCS1 siRNA significantly decreased the expression of HMGCS1 in the epidermis, which in turn led to an improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score, epidermal thickening, and pathological Baker score. Additionally, expression levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-23, IL1-β, chemokine CXCL1, and innate immune mediator S100A7-9 were downregulated in the epidermis. In conclusion, HMGCS1 downregulation improved psoriasis in vitro and in vivo through the STAT3/IL-23 axis.

Abstract
N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) critically regulates RNA dynamics in various biological processes. The m6A demethylase ALKBH5 promotes tumorigenesis of glioblastoma, while the intricate web that orchestrates its regulation remains enigmatic. Here, we discover that cell density affects ALKBH5 subcellular localization and m6A dynamics. Mechanistically, ALKBH5 is phosphorylated by the large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2), preventing its nuclear export and enhancing protein stability. Furthermore, phosphorylated ALKBH5 reciprocally erases m6A from LATS2 mRNA, thereby stabilizing this transcript. Unexpectedly, LATS2 depletion suppresses glioblastoma stem cell self-renewal independent of yes-associated protein activation. Additionally, deficiency in either LATS2 or ALKBH5 phosphorylation impedes tumor progression in mouse xenograft models. Moreover, high levels of LATS2 expression and ALKBH5 phosphorylation are associated with tumor malignancy in patients with gliomas. Collectively, our study unveils an oncogenic positive feedback loop between LATS2 and ALKBH5, revealing a non-canonical branch of the Hippo pathway for RNA processing and suggesting potential anti-cancer interventions.

Abstract
Ammonium nitrogen (NH4 +-N) is essential for fruit tree growth, but the impact of excess NH4 +-N from fertilizer on evergreen citrus trees is unclear. In a climate chamber, 8-month-old citrus plants were exposed to five different hydroponic NH4 +-N concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mm) for 1 month to study effects of NH4 +-N on growth characteristics, N uptake, metabolism, antioxidant enzymes and osmotic regulatory substances. Application of 10 mm NH4 +-N adversely affected root plasma membrane integrity, root physiological functions, and plant biomass. MDA, CAT, POD, APX and SOD content were significantly correlated with leaf N metabolic enzyme activity (GOGAT, GDH, GS and NR). GDH was the primary enzyme involved in NH4 +-N assimilation in leaves, while the primary pathway involved in roots was GS-GOGAT. Under comparatively high NH4 + addition, roots were the main organs involved in NH4 + utilization in citrus seedlings. Our results demonstrated that variations in NH4 + concentration and enzyme activity in various organs are associated with more effective N metabolism in roots than in leaves to prevent NH4 + toxicity in evergreen woody citrus plants. These results provide insight into the N forms used by citrus plants that are important for N fertilizer management.

Abstract
Non-professional medical interpreters are frequent participants of bilingual health communication. Yet, scholarly attention paid to this group's roles in less routinized medical encounters is insufficient. Adopting the concept of "role-space," this study explores volunteer medical interpreters' (VMIs) roles in mediating provider-patient conflicts at a designated hospital tasked to admit and treat foreign patients in City Y, China. In-depth interviews with eight VMIs, two doctors, two patients, and one Foreign Affairs officer indicate that VMIs took on the roles of provider proxy, patient advocates, information gatekeepers, and emotional supporters while navigating through challenges at the macro-, meso- and micro-level; Their practices led to four role-spaces that featured high presentation of VMIs' self-driven actions during dyadic communication with patients only and, in most cases, minimal interaction management and participant alignment in provider-patient encounters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) accounts for ∼85% of all lung carcinomas. Trans-3,5,4'-trimethoxystilbene (TMS) shows strong anti-tumor activity and induces tumor cell apoptosis. However, its function and mechanism in NSCLC still require investigation. METHODS PMA was used to treated THP-1 cells for macrophage differentiation. The abundance and m6A modification of circPACRGL were examined with qRT-PCR and MeRIP. Colony forming, transwell, wound healing, and Western blotting assays were applied to analyze proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT. Macrophage polarization was determined through flow cytometry analysis of M1 and M2 markers. The interplay between circPACRGL, IGF2BP2 and YAP1 was validated by RNA pull-down and RIP assays. Mice received subcutaneous injection of NSCLC cells as a mouse model of subcutaneous tumor. RESULTS CircPACRGL was upregulated in NSCLC cells, but it was reduced by TMS treatment. CircPACRGL depletion blocked proliferation, migration, and invasion in H1299 and H1975 cells. TMS suppressed these malignant behaviors, but it was abolished by circPACRGL overexpression. In addition, NSCLC-derived exosomes delivered circPACRGL into THP-1 cells to promote its M2 polarization, but TMS inhibited these effects by downregulating exosomal circPACRGL. Mechanically, exosomal circPACRGL bound to IGF2BP2 to improve the stability of YAP1 mRNA and regulate Hippo signaling in polarized THP-1 cells. TMS inhibited NSCLC growth via suppressing Hippo signaling and M2 polarization in vivo. CONCLUSION TMS restrains M2 polarization and NSCLC progression by reducing circPACRGL and inhibiting exosomal circPACRGL-mediated Hippo signaling. Thus, these findings provide a novel mechanism underlying NSCLC progression and potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have the highest mortality worldwide. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and their cardiomyocyte derivatives (hPSC-CMs) offer a valuable resource for disease modeling, pharmacological screening, and regenerative therapy. While most CVDs are linked to significant over-production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the effects of current antioxidants targeting excessive ROS are limited. Nanotechnology is a powerful tool to develop antioxidants with improved selectivity, solubility, and bioavailability to prevent or treat various diseases related to oxidative stress. Cerium oxide nanozymes (CeONZs) can effectively scavenge excessive ROS by mimicking the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. This study aimed to assess the nanotoxicity of CeONZs and their potential antioxidant benefits in stressed human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and their derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs). RESULTS CeONZs demonstrated reliable nanosafety and biocompatibility in hESCs and hESC-CMs within a broad range of concentrations. CeONZs exhibited protective effects on the cell viability of hESCs and hESC-CMs by alleviating excessive ROS-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, CeONZs protected hESC-CMs from doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity and partially ameliorated the insults from DOX in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs). Furthermore, during hESCs culture, CeONZs were found to reduce ROS, decrease apoptosis, and enhance cell survival without affecting their self-renewal and differentiation potential. CONCLUSIONS CeONZs displayed good safety and biocompatibility, as well as enhanced the cell viability of hESCs and hESC-CMs by shielding them from oxidative damage. These promising results suggest that CeONZs may be crucial, as a safe nanoantioxidant, to potentially improve the therapeutic efficacy of CVDs and be incorporated into regenerative medicine.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Borneol is a long-established traditional Chinese medicine that has been found to be effective in treating pain and itchy skin. However, whether borneol has a therapeutic effect on chronic itch and its related mechanisms remain unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the antipruritic effect of borneol and its molecular mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS DrugBAN framework and molecular docking were applied to predict the targets of borneol, and the calcium imaging or patch-clamp recording analysis were used to detect the effects of borneol on TRPA1, TRPM8 or TRPV3 channels in HEK293T cells. In addition, various mouse models of acute itch and chronic itch were established to evaluate the antipruritic effects of borneol on C57BL/6J mice. Then, the borneol-induced pruritic relief was further investigated in Trpa1-/-, Trpm8-/-, or Trpa1-/-/Trpm8-/- mice. The effects of borneol on the activation of TRPM8 and the inhibition of TRPA1 were also measured in dorsal root ganglia neurons of wild-type (WT), Trpm8-/- and Trpv1-/- mice. Lastly, a randomized, double-blind study of adult patients was conducted to evaluate the clinical antipruritic effect of borneol. RESULTS TRPA1, TRPV3 and TRPM8 are the potential targets of borneol according to the results of DrugBAN algorithm and molecular docking. Calcium imaging and patch-clamp recording analysis demonstrated that borneol activates TRPM8 channel-induced cell excitability and inhibits TRPA1 channel-mediated cell excitability in transfected HEK293T cells. Animal behavior analysis showed that borneol can significantly reduce acute and chronic itch behavior in C57BL/6J mice, but this effect was eliminated in Trpa1-/-, Trpm8-/- mice, or at least in Trpa1-/-/Trpm8-/- mice. Borneol elicits TRPM8 channel induced [Ca2+]i responses but inhibits AITC or SADBE-induced activation of TRPA1 channels in dorsal root ganglia neurons of WT and Trpv1-/- mice, respectively. Furthermore, the clinical results indicated that borneol could reduce itching symptoms in patients and its efficacy is similar to that of menthol. CONCLUSION Borneol has therapeutic effects on multiple pruritus models in mice and patients with chronic itch, and the mechanism may be through inhibiting TRPA1 and activating TRPM8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frequency of imaging markers (FIM) has been identified as an independent predictor of hematoma expansion in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but its impact on clinical outcome of ICH is yet to be determined. The aim of the present study was to investigate this association. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of our prior research. The data for this study were derived from six retrospective cohorts of ICH from January 2018 to August 2022. All consecutive study participants were examined within 6 h of stroke onset on neuroimaging. FIM was defined as the ratio of the number of imaging markers on noncontrast head tomography (i.e., hypodensities, blend sign, and island sign) to onset-to-neuroimaging time. The primary poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6 at 3 months. RESULTS A total of 1253 patients with ICH were included for final analysis. Among those with available follow-up results, 713 (56.90%) exhibited a poor neurologic outcome at 3 months. In a univariate analysis, FIM was associated with poor prognosis (odds ratio 4.36; 95% confidence interval 3.31-5.74; p < 0.001). After adjustment for age, Glasgow Coma Scale score, systolic blood pressure, hematoma volume, and intraventricular hemorrhage, FIM was still an independent predictor of worse prognosis (odds ratio 3.26; 95% confidence interval 2.37-4.48; p < 0.001). Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, a cutoff value of 0.28 for FIM was associated with 0.69 sensitivity, 0.66 specificity, 0.73 positive predictive value, 0.62 negative predictive value, and 0.71 area under the curve for the diagnosis of poor outcome. CONCLUSIONS The metric of FIM is associated with 3-month poor outcome after ICH. The novel indicator that helps identify patients who are likely within the 6-h time window at risk for worse outcome would be a valuable addition to the clinical management of ICH.

Abstract
Mouthguards are used to reduce injuries and the probability of them to orofacial tissues when impacted during sports. However, the usage of a mouthguard is low due to the discomfort caused by the thickness of the mouthguard. Herein, we have constructed a dynamic dual network to fabricate a shear-stiffening mouthguard with remoldability, which are called remoldable shear-stiffening mouthguards (RSSMs). Based on diboron/oxygen dative bonds, RSSMs show a shear-stiffening effect and excellent shock absorption ability, which can absorb more than 90% of the energy of a blank. Even reducing the thickness to half, RSSMs can reduce approximately 25% of the transmitted force and elongate by about 1.6-fold the buffer time compared to commercial mouthguard materials (Erkoflex and Erkoloc-pro). What is more, owing to the dynamic dual network, RSSMs show good remolding performance with unchanged shear-stiffening behavior and impact resistance, which conforms to the existing vacuum thermoforming mode. In addition, RSSMs exhibit stability in artificial saliva and biocompatibility. In conclusion, this work will broaden the range of mouthguard materials and offer a platform to apply shear-stiffening materials to biomedical applications and soft safeguarding devices.

Abstract
Background Intraneural perineurioma is a rare, benign slow-growing lesion that usually involves a single main trunk nerve during childhood and young adulthood. The treatment of intraneural perineurioma is still a subject of controversy, especially in fast-growing children. To date, there was no systemic analysis of intraneural perineurioma in children. Method A case of Intraneural perineurioma affecting the left sciatic nerve with 2 years of follow-up was presented. A systematic review was performed on literature published before June 2023, focusing on intraneural perineurioma diagnosed at no older than 18 years old. Result A 9-year-old boy presented with progressive left foot-drop and abnormal gait for 2 years. The electromyography and magnetic resonance neurography study confirmed neuropathy involving the left sciatic nerves and its branches. Pathological investigation of the left sural nerve confirmed the diagnosis of intraneural perineurioma. The boy received physical therapy, and the disease was stable during the 2 years of follow-up. Fifty-seven childhood cases were identified in literature. Five patients with oral intraneural perineurioma underwent excision of the mass with good outcomes. In the other 52 patients with peripheral nerve involvement, 25 of them received surgical treatment, with different outcomes according to different operations. Out of 33 cases with precise lesion sizes, the length of the lesion in patients without nerve resection was significantly longer than that in patients with nerve resection (12.86 ± 7.44 cm vs 4.57 ± 4.5 cm. p < 0.05). Conclusions Intraneural perineuriomas are rare benign tumors with slow progression. The options for surgery should be cautiously considered in childhood patients with long segmental peripheral nerve involvement.

Abstract
The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) is a crucial experimental animal that shares many genetic, brain organizational, and behavioral characteristics with humans. A macaque brain atlas is fundamental to biomedical and evolutionary research. However, even though connectivity is vital for understanding brain functions, a connectivity-based whole-brain atlas of the macaque has not previously been made. In this study, we created a new whole-brain map, the Macaque Brainnetome Atlas (MacBNA), based on the anatomical connectivity profiles provided by high angular and spatial resolution ex vivo diffusion MRI data. The new atlas consists of 248 cortical and 56 subcortical regions as well as their structural and functional connections. The parcellation and the diffusion-based tractography were evaluated with invasive neuronal-tracing and Nissl-stained images. As a demonstrative application, the structural connectivity divergence between macaque and human brains was mapped using the Brainnetome atlases of those two species to uncover the genetic underpinnings of the evolutionary changes in brain structure. The resulting resource includes: (1) the thoroughly delineated Macaque Brainnetome Atlas (MacBNA), (2) regional connectivity profiles, (3) the postmortem high-resolution macaque diffusion and T2-weighted MRI dataset (Brainnetome-8), and (4) multi-contrast MRI, neuronal-tracing, and histological images collected from a single macaque. MacBNA can serve as a common reference frame for mapping multifaceted features across modalities and spatial scales and for integrative investigation and characterization of brain organization and function. Therefore, it will enrich the collaborative resource platform for nonhuman primates and facilitate translational and comparative neuroscience research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the most common subtype of adult muscular dystrophy worldwide, large cohort reports on myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) in China are still lacking. This study aims to analyze the genetic and clinical characteristics of Chinese Han DM1 patients. METHODS Based on the multicenter collaborating effort of the Pan-Yangtze River Delta Alliance for Neuromuscular Disorders, patients with suspected clinical diagnoses of DM1 were genetically confirmed from January 2020 to April 2023. Peak CTG repeats in the DMPK gene were analyzed using triplet repeat-primed PCR (TP-PCR) and flanking PCR. Time-to-event analysis of onset age in females and males was performed. Additionally, detailed clinical features and longitudinal changes from the disease onset in 64 DM1 patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Fatigue Severity Scale were used to quantify the severity of daytime sleepiness and fatigue. RESULTS Among the 211 genetically confirmed DM1 patients, the mean age at diagnosis was 40.9 ± 12.2 (range: 12-74) with a male-to-female ratio of 124:87. The average size of CTG repeats was 511.3 (range: 92-1945). Among the DM1 patients with comprehensive clinical data (n = 64, mean age 41.0 ± 12.0), the age at onset was significantly earlier in males than in females (4.8 years earlier, p = 0.026). Muscle weakness (92.2%), myotonia (85.9%), and fatigue (73.4%) were the most prevalent clinical features. The predominant involved muscles at onset are hands (weakness or myotonia) (52.6%) and legs (walking disability) (42.1%). Of them, 70.3% of patients had daytime sleepiness, 14.1% had cataract surgery, 7.8% used wheelchairs, 4.7% required ventilatory support, and 1.6% required gastric tubes. Regarding the comorbidities, 4.7% of patients had tumors, 17.2% had diabetes, 23.4% had dyspnea, 28.1% had intermittent insomnia, 43.8% experienced dysphagia, and 25% exhibited cognitive impairment. Chinese patients exhibited smaller size of CTG repeats (468 ± 139) than those reported in Italy (613 ± 623), the US (629 ± 386), and Japan (625 [302, 1047]), and milder phenotypes with less multisystem involvement. CONCLUSION The Chinese Han DM1 patients presented milder phenotypes compared to their Caucasian and Japanese counterparts. A male predominance and an early age of onset were identified in male Chinese Han DM1 patients.

Abstract
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a non-invasive, radiation-free, and convenient imaging technique, has been widely used in the diagnosis of stroke. However, due to soft-field nonlinearity and the ill-posed inverse problem, EIT images always suffer from low spatial resolution. Therefore, a multi-scale convolutional attention residual-based U-Net (MARU-Net) network is proposed for stroke reconstruction. Based on the U-Net network, a residual module and a multi-scale convolutional attention module are added to the concatenation layer. The multi-scale module extracts feature information of different sizes, the attention module strengthens the useful information, and the residual module improves the performance of the network. Based on the above advantages, the network is used in the EIT system for stroke imaging. Compared with convolutional neural networks and one-dimensional convolutional neural networks, the MARU-Net network has fewer artifacts, and the reconstructed image is clear. At the same time, the reduction of noisy artifacts in the MARU-Net network is verified. The results show that the image correlation coefficient of the reconstructed image with noise is greater than 0.87. Finally, the practicability of the network is verified by a model physics experiment.

Abstract
Gouty arthritis (GA) is an inflammatory disease characterized by pain. The primary goal of current treatment strategies during GA flares remains the reduction of inflammation and pain. Research suggests that the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites contribute to the modulation of the inflammatory mechanism associated with GA, particularly through their effect on macrophage polarization. The increasing understanding of the gut-joint axis emphasizes the importance of this interaction. The primary objective of this review is to summarize existing research on the gut-immune-joint axis in GA, aiming to enhance understanding of the intricate processes and pathogenic pathways associated with pain and inflammation in GA, as documented in the published literature. The refined comprehension of the gut-joint axis may potentially contribute to the future development of analgesic drugs targeting gut microbes for GA.

Abstract
Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) is a promising negative electrode for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). By engineering the morphology and crystallinity of nanochanneled niobium oxides (NCNOs), the kinetic behavior and charge storage mechanism of Nb2O5 electrodes were investigated. Amorphous and crystalline NCNO samples were made by modulating anodization conditions (20-40 V and 140-180 °C) to synthesize nanostructures of varying pore sizes and wall thicknesses with identical chemical composition. The electrochemical energy storage properties of the NCNOs were studied, with the amorphous samples showing better overall rate performance than the crystalline samples. The enhanced rate performance of the amorphous samples is attributed to the higher capacitive contributions and Na-ion diffusivity analyzed from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT). It was found that the amorphous samples with smaller wall thicknesses facilitated improved kinetics. Among samples with similar pore size and wall thickness, the difference in their power performance stems from the crystallinity effect, which plays a more significant role in the resulting kinetics of the materials for Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers are usually thermomechanically unstable, as their mechanical strength decreases drastically upon heating, which is a fatal shortcoming for their application. Herein, inspired by heat shock proteins (HSPs) which enable living organisms to tolerate lethal high temperatures, we design an HSP-like response to impart a supramolecular elastomer with high thermomechanical stability. The HSP-like response relies on the reversible hydrolysis of boronic acid and the tunable association strength of boron dative bonds. As the temperature increases, the boronic acid dehydrates and transforms into boroxane. The boroxane, acting as a heat shock chemical, prevents the disintegration of the supramolecular network through formation of multiple and stronger dative bonds with imidazole-containing polymers, thereby enabling the material to retain its mechanical strength at high temperatures. Such chemical transformation and network change induced by the HSP-like response are fully reversible during the heating and cooling processes. Moreover, due to the dynamic nature of the supramolecular network, the elastomer possesses recycling and self-healing abilities.

Abstract
Background Adverse psychological states in surgical patients can impact outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate mood disorders and associated factors in general surgery inpatients using the Huaxi Emotional Distress Index (HEI). Methods This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed HEI scores of 20,398 adult patients hospitalized for elective surgery at a tertiary hospital in China (2018-2021). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression identified factors linked to moderate/severe mood disturbances. Results Factors linked to moderate/severe mood disturbances were identified through univariable and multivariable logistic regression. The results showed that 3.7% of the patients had HEI ≥ 13, indicating significant emotional issues. The mean age was 52.67 (16.14) years in the group with no/mild distress and 59.65 (16.34) years in the group with moderate/severe distress. Among all the cases included, there were 2,689 cases (13.18%) of gastric and esophageal diseases, 1,437 cases (7.04%) of hepatic diseases, 913 cases (4.47%) of periampullary and pancreatic tumors, 9,150 cases (44.85%) of gallbladder diseases, 2,777 cases (13.61%) of colorectal diseases, and 3,432 cases (16.83%) of other diseases. The male percentage was 45.5 and 54.9% in the two groups, respectively. Older age, male gender, unstable occupations, lower education, and unmarried status were associated with higher risks of mood disturbances (all p < 0.05). A significant downward trend in adverse emotions was observed with increasing education levels (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the study found that the inpatients had higher HEI scores prior to the COVID-19 pandemic compared to during the pandemic (p < 0.001). However, the occurrence of adverse mood states in these patients was not exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The trend test remained highly significant in the none-adjusted, age-sex adjusted, and fully adjusted models (all p for trend <0.001). Conclusion The implementation of routine screening in higher education institutions (HEIs) allows for the early identification of surgical inpatients who require psychological intervention. It is recommended that counseling services focus on individuals with lower levels of education and income instability in order to address negative mood states. Furthermore, the potential application of this screening system in other clinical settings could enable earlier psychological interventions for a larger number of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose Computed Tomography (CT) is used for the detection of pulmonary nodules, but the ambiguous risk evaluation causes overdiagnosis. Here, we explored the significance of the DNA methylation of 7 genes including TAC1, CDO1, HOXA9, ZFP42, SOX17, RASSF1A and SHOX2 in the blood cfDNA samples in distinguishing lung cancer from benign nodules and healthy individuals. METHOD A total of 149 lung cancer patients [72 mass and 77 ground-glass nodules (GGNs)], 5 benign and 48 healthy individuals were tested and analyzed in this study. The lasso-logistic regression model was built for distinguishing cancer and control/healthy individuals or IA lung cancer and non-IA lung cancer cases. RESULTS The positive rates of methylation of 7 genes were higher in the cancer group as compared with the healthy group. We constructed a model using age, sex and the ΔCt value of 7 gene methylation to distinguish lung cancer from benign and healthy individuals. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC (area under the curve) were 86.7%, 81.4% and 0.891, respectively. Also, we assessed the significance of 7 gene methylation together with patients' age and sex in distinguishing of GGNs type from the mass type. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC were 77.1%, 65.8% and 0.753, respectively. Furthermore, the methylation positive rates of CDO1 and SHOX2 were different between I-IV stages of lung cancer. Specifically, the positive rate of CDO1 methylation was higher in the non-IA group as compared with the IA group. CONCLUSION Collectively, this study reveals that the methylation of 7 genes has a big significance in the diagnosis of lung cancer with high sensitivity and specificity. Also, the 7 genes present with certain significance in distinguishing the GGN type lung cancer, as well as different stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcription factors HAND1 and HAND2 (HAND1/2) play significant roles in cardiac organogenesis. Abnormal expression and deficiency of HAND1/2 result in severe cardiac defects. However, the function and mechanism of HAND1/2 in regulating human early cardiac lineage commitment and differentiation are still unclear. METHODS With NKX2.5eGFP H9 human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), we established single and double knockout cell lines for HAND1 and HAND2, respectively, whose cardiomyocyte differentiation efficiency could be monitored by assessing NKX2.5-eGFP+ cells with flow cytometry. The expression of specific markers for heart fields and cardiomyocyte subtypes was examined by quantitative PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Microelectrode array and whole-cell patch clamp were performed to determine the electrophysiological characteristics of differentiated cardiomyocytes. The transcriptomic changes of HAND knockout cells were revealed by RNA sequencing. The HAND1/2 target genes were identified and validated experimentally by integrating with HAND1/2 chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing data. RESULTS Either HAND1 or HAND2 knockout did not affect the cardiomyocyte differentiation kinetics, whereas depletion of HAND1/2 resulted in delayed differentiation onset. HAND1 knockout biased cardiac mesoderm toward second heart field progenitors at the expense of first heart field progenitors, leading to increased expression of atrial and outflow tract cardiomyocyte markers, which was further confirmed by the appearance of atrial-like action potentials. By contrast, HAND2 knockout cardiomyocytes had reduced expression of atrial cardiomyocyte markers and displayed ventricular-like action potentials. HAND1/2-deficient hESCs were more inclined to second heart field lineage and its derived cardiomyocytes with atrial-like action potentials than HAND1 single knockout during differentiation. Further mechanistic investigations suggested TBX5 as one of the downstream targets of HAND1/2, whose overexpression partially restored the abnormal cardiomyocyte differentiation in HAND1/2-deficient hESCs. CONCLUSIONS HAND1/2 have specific and redundant roles in cardiac lineage commitment and differentiation. These findings not only reveal the essential function of HAND1/2 in cardiac organogenesis, but also provide important information on the pathogenesis of HAND1/2 deficiency-related congenital heart diseases, which could potentially lead to new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Gouty arthritis (GA) is an inflammatory disease caused by disorders of the purine metabolism. Although increasing number of drugs have been used to treat GA with the deepening of relevant research, GA still cannot be cured by simple drug therapy. The nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway plays a key role in the pathogenesis of GA. A considerable number of Chinese herbal medicines have emerged as new drugs for the treatment of GA. This article collected relevant research on traditional Chinese medicine monomers in the treatment of GA using NF-κB, GA, etc. as keywords; and conducted a systematic search of relevant published articles using the PubMed database. In this study, we analyzed the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine monomers on GA in the existing literature through in vivo and in vitro experiments using animal and cell models. Based on this review, we believe that traditional Chinese medicine monomers that can treat GA through the NF-κB signaling pathway are potential new drug development targets. This study provides research ideas for the development and application of new drugs for GA.

Abstract
The task of image captioning aims to generate captions directly from images via the automatically learned cross-modal generator. To build a well-performing generator, existing approaches usually need a large number of described images (i.e., supervised image-sentence pairs), requiring a huge effects on manual labeling. However, in real-world applications, a more general scenario is that we only have limited amount of described images and a large number of undescribed images. Therefore, a resulting challenge is how to effectively combine the undescribed images into the learning of cross-modal generator (i.e., semisupervised image captioning). To solve this problem, we propose a novel image captioning method by exploiting the cross-modal prediction and relation consistency (CPRC), which aims to utilize the raw image input to constrain the generated sentence in the semantic space. In detail, considering that the heterogeneous gap between modalities always leads to the supervision difficulty while using the global embedding directly, CPRC turns to transform both the raw image and corresponding generated sentence into the shared semantic space, and measure the generated sentence from two aspects: 1) prediction consistency: CPRC utilizes the prediction of raw image as soft label to distill useful supervision for the generated sentence, rather than employing the traditional pseudo labeling and 2) relation consistency: CPRC develops a novel relation consistency between augmented images and corresponding generated sentences to retain the important relational knowledge. In result, CPRC supervises the generated sentence from both the informativeness and representativeness perspectives, and can reasonably use the undescribed images to learn a more effective generator under the semisupervised scenario. The experiments show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art comparison methods on the MS-COCO "Karpathy" offline test split under complex nonparallel scenarios, for example, CPRC achieves at least 6% improvements on the CIDEr-D score.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disorder manifesting with progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. SMA type 1 used to be fatal within the first 2 years of life, but is now treatable with therapies targeting splicing modification and gene replacement. Nusinersen, risdiplam, and onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi improve survival, motor strength, endurance, and ability to thrive, allowing many patients to potentially attain a normal life; all have been recently approved by major regulatory agencies. Although these therapies have revolutionized the world of SMA, they are associated with a high economic burden, and access to these therapies is limited in some countries. The primary objective of this study was to compare the availability and implementation of treatment of SMA from different regions of the world. Methods In this qualitative study, we surveyed health care providers from 21 countries regarding their experiences caring for patients with SMA. The main outcome measures were provider survey responses on newborn screening, drug availability/access, barriers to treatment, and related questions. Results Twenty-four providers from 21 countries with decades of experience (mean 26 years) in treating patients with SMA responded to the survey. Nusinersen was the most available therapy for SMA. Our survey showed that while genetic testing is usually available, newborn screening is still unavailable in many countries. The provider-reported treatment cost also varied between countries, and economic burden was a major barrier in treating patients with SMA. Discussion Overall, this survey highlights the global inequality in managing patients with SMA. The spread of newborn screening is essential in ensuring improved access to care for patients with SMA. With the advancement of neurotherapeutics, more genetic diseases will soon be treatable, and addressing the global inequality in clinical care will require novel approaches to mitigate such inequality in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the predictive performance of non-contrast CT (NCCT) signs for hemorrhagic growth after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) when stratified by onset-to-imaging time (OIT). MATERIALS AND METHODS 1488 supratentorial ICH within 6 h of onset were consecutively recruited from six centers between January 2018 and August 2022. NCCT signs were classified according to density (hypodensities, swirl sign, black hole sign, blend sign, fluid level, and heterogeneous density) and shape (island sign, satellite sign, and irregular shape) features. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between NCCT signs and three types of hemorrhagic growth: hematoma expansion (HE), intraventricular hemorrhage growth (IVHG), and revised HE (RHE). The performance of the NCCT signs was evaluated using the positive predictive value (PPV) stratified by OIT. RESULTS Multivariable analysis showed that hypodensities were an independent predictor of HE (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] of 7.99 [4.87-13.40]), IVHG (3.64 [2.15-6.24]), and RHE (7.90 [4.93-12.90]). Similarly, OIT (for a 1-h increase) was an independent inverse predictor of HE (0.59 [0.52-0.66]), IVHG (0.72 [0.64-0.81]), and RHE (0.61 [0.54-0.67]). Blend and island signs were independently associated with HE and RHE (10.60 [7.36-15.30] and 10.10 [7.10-14.60], respectively, for the blend sign and 2.75 [1.64-4.67] and 2.62 [1.60-4.30], respectively, for the island sign). Hypodensities demonstrated low PPVs of 0.41 (110/269) or lower for IVHG when stratified by OIT. When OIT was ≤ 2 h, the PPVs of hypodensities, blend sign, and island sign for RHE were 0.80 (215/269), 0.90 (142/157), and 0.83 (103/124), respectively. CONCLUSION Hypodensities, blend sign, and island sign were the best NCCT predictors of RHE when OIT was ≤ 2 h. NCCT signs may assist in earlier recognition of the risk of hemorrhagic growth and guide early intervention to prevent neurological deterioration resulting from hemorrhagic growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematoma expansion (HE) is common in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and associated with a worse outcome. Imaging makers and shorter time from symptom onset are both associated with HE, but prognostic scores based on these parameters individually have not been satisfactory. We hypothesized that a score including both imaging markers of expansion, and time of onset, would improve prediction. METHODS Patients with supratentorial ICH within 6 h after onset were consecutively recruited from six centers between January 2018 and August 2022. Three markers were used: hypodensities, the blend sign, and the island sign. We first defined frequency of imaging markers (FIM) as the relationship between the number of imaging markers and onset-to-CT time (OCT). The time-adjusted FIM was defined as the ratio of the number of imaging markers to the onset-to-initial imaging time. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the relationship between FIM and HE. Receiver operating curve analysis was used to identify potential threshold values of FIM that optimally predict HE. In addition, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPVs and NPVs), and the area under the curve (AUC) of the optimal cut-off in predicting HE were calculated. RESULTS In total, 1488 patients were eligible for inclusion, of whom 418 had incident HE. Multivariate analysis showed that age, male sex, baseline Glasgow Coma Scale score, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage, and FIM were independent predictors of HE (odds ratio (OR) = 0.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.97-0.99; OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.28-2.35; OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.83-0.92; OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.28-0.62; OR = 7.82, 95% CI = 5.86-10.42, respectively). The optimal cut-off point for FIM in predicting HE was 0.63, with sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and AUC values of 0.69, 0.89, 0.71, 0.88, and 0.83, respectively. CONCLUSION The FIM adjusted for time since symptom onset is a significant predictor of HE. Its use may allow improved prediction of those patients with ICH who develop HE, and the score may be clinically applicable in the management of patients with ICH.

Abstract
Hawthorn leaf has shown therapeutic effects in the patients with myocardial ischemia. Our study combines network pharmacology, molecular docking techniques, and in vitro experiment with the aim of revealing the mechanism of hawthorn leaves in the treatment of myocardial ischemia. The active ingredients and corresponding targets of hawthorn leaf through Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology and Swiss Target Prediction databases. Targets related to myocardial ischemia were retrieved by Gene Card, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, Disgenet, and Therapeutic Targets Database databases. Cytoscape software was used to construct an ingredient-target-organ network and enrichment analysis of common targets was analyzed. Molecular docking verification of the core compound and target interactions was performed using MOE software. In vitro cell experiment was performed to verify the findings from bioinformatics analysis. Six active components and 107 potential therapeutic targets were screened. The protein-protein interaction network analysis indicated that 10 targets, including AKT1 and EGFR, were hub genes. Quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin were taken as core active components. Through pathway enrichment analysis, nearly 455 Gene Ontology entries and 77 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways were obtained, mainly including PI3K/Akt, estrogen and other signaling pathways. Molecular docking prediction showed that three main active ingredients were firmly combined with the core targets. Cellular experiments showed that quercetin alleviated oxidative damage in cells and regulated the expression of PI3K, P-AKT/AKT and Bax/Bcl-2 proteins. This study identified the potential targets of Hawthorn leaf against myocardial ischemia using network pharmacology and in vitro verification, which provided a new understanding of the pharmacological mechanisms of Hawthorn leaf in treatment of myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
Ether solvents are suitable for formulating solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI)-less ion-solvent cointercalation electrolytes in graphite for Na-ion and K-ion batteries. However, ether-based electrolytes have been historically perceived to cause exfoliation of graphite and cell failure in Li-ion batteries. In this study, we develop strategies to achieve reversible Li-solvent cointercalation in graphite through combining appropriate Li salts and ether solvents. Specifically, we design 1M LiBF4 1,2-dimethoxyethane (G1), which enables natural graphite to deliver ~91% initial Coulombic efficiency and >88% capacity retention after 400 cycles. We captured the spatial distribution of LiF at various length scales and quantified its heterogeneity. The electrolyte shows self-terminated reactivity on graphite edge planes and results in a grainy, fluorinated pseudo-SEI. The molecular origin of the pseudo-SEI is elucidated by ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The operando synchrotron analyses further demonstrate the reversible and monotonous phase transformation of cointercalated graphite. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of Li cointercalation chemistry in graphite for extreme-condition batteries. The work also paves the foundation for understanding and modulating the interphase generated by ether electrolytes in a broad range of electrodes and batteries.

Abstract
MicroRNA-130a-3p (miR-130a-3p) has been reported as closely related to atherosclerosis (AS). This study is to survey the effects of miR-130a-3p in endothelial cells (ECs) treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and explore underlying mechanisms. The proliferation and apoptosis of ox-LDL-treated HUVEC cells were determined by CCK-8, EdU, and flow cytometry assays. ELISA and Western blot analysis measured the expressions of cytokines and protein levels. Bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter assay were performed to predict and confirm that Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8) was a direct target of miR-130a-3p, and MAPK8 was negatively associated with miR-130a-3p. As expected, miR-130a-3p was down-regulated in ox-LDL-treated HUVEC cells, and up-regulation of miR-130a-3p promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of ox-LDL-treated HUVEC cells. Furthermore, miR-130a-3p mimics suppressed the expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 and decreased the protein levels of VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin. MAPK8 was highly expressed in ox-LDL-treated HUVEC cells, and silence of MAPK8 promoted proliferation inhibited apoptosis, suppressed inflammatory responses, and decreased the levels of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and E-selectin, over-expression of MAPK8 partially restored the functional effects of miR-130a-3p on proliferation, inflammatory responses, and the expressions of VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin. This study indicates that miR-130a-3p may emerge as an effective target for treating AS.

Abstract
The growth state of tumor cells is strictly affected by the specific abnormal redox status of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Moreover, redox reactions at the biological level are also central and fundamental to essential energy metabolism reactions in tumors. Accordingly, anti-tumor nanodrugs targeting the disruption of this abnormal redox homeostasis have become one of the hot spots in the field of nanodrugs research due to the effectiveness of TME modulation and anti-tumor efficiency mediated by redox interference. This review discusses the latest research results of nanodrugs in anti-tumor therapy, which regulate the levels of oxidants or reductants in TME through a variety of therapeutic strategies, ultimately breaking the original "stable" redox state of the TME and promoting tumor cell death. With the gradual deepening of study on the redox state of TME and the vigorous development of nanomaterials, it is expected that more anti-tumor nano drugs based on tumor redox microenvironment regulation will be designed and even applied clinically.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Frequency of imaging markers (FIM) has been described as a novel predictor for hematoma expansion after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). A revised definition of hematoma expansion that incorporates intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) growth, that is, revised hematoma expansion (RHE), has also been proposed. Nevertheless, the associations between FIM and IVH growth or RHE remains unexplored. The objective of this study was to assess the influence and performance of the FIM on two types. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient selection and variables were based on our published protocol. FIM was defined as the ratio of the number of imaging markers to the onset-to-neuroimaging time. The association between FIM and two definitions was tested by multivariate analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the FIM on two definitions were also evaluated. RESULTS There were 303 (20.36%) and 583 (39.18%) subjects in the IVH growth and RHE, respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that FIM was associated with both IVH growth and RHE (odds ratio [OR] = 1.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.60-2.39; OR = 15.01, 95% CI = 10.51-21.43, respectively). The optimal cutoff points for FIM to predict IVH growth and RHE were 0.63 and 0.62, with AUC, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 0.66, 0.50, 0.78, 0.36, and 0.86 versus 0.80, 0.60, 0.93, 0.84, and 0.78, respectively. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION FIM was not only a predictor of IVH growth, but also of RHE. These findings may have important clinical implications for decision-making based on risk stratification of patients with ICH.

Abstract
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is a widely used resource that comprehensively organizes and defines the phenotypic features of human disease, enabling computational inference and supporting genomic and phenotypic analyses through semantic similarity and machine learning algorithms. The HPO has widespread applications in clinical diagnostics and translational research, including genomic diagnostics, gene-disease discovery, and cohort analytics. In recent years, groups around the world have developed translations of the HPO from English to other languages, and the HPO browser has been internationalized, allowing users to view HPO term labels and in many cases synonyms and definitions in ten languages in addition to English. Since our last report, a total of 2239 new HPO terms and 49235 new HPO annotations were developed, many in collaboration with external groups in the fields of psychiatry, arthrogryposis, immunology and cardiology. The Medical Action Ontology (MAxO) is a new effort to model treatments and other measures taken for clinical management. Finally, the HPO consortium is contributing to efforts to integrate the HPO and the GA4GH Phenopacket Schema into electronic health records (EHRs) with the goal of more standardized and computable integration of rare disease data in EHRs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperlactatemia (HL) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is relatively frequent in infants and associates with increased morbidity and mortality. Studies on adults have shown that carbon dioxide production index (VCO2i) during CPB is linked to the occurrence of HL, with 'critical thresholds' for VCO2i reported to be 60 mL/min/m2. However, considering infants have a higher metabolic rate and lower tolerance to hypoxia, the critical threshold of VCO2i in infants cannot be replied to the existing adults' standards. The objective of this study is to investigate the association of VCO2i during CPB and HL, and explore the critical VCO2i threshold during CPB in infants. METHODS VCO2i predicts hyperlactatemia during cardiopulmonary bypass in pediatric cardiac surgery (pGDP-VCO2i) is a nested case-control study. A cohort of consecutive pediatric patients of less than 3 years of age, undergoing congenital cardiac surgeries between May 2021 and December 2023 in West China Hospital will be enrolled. The VCO2i levels of each patient will be recorded every 5 min during CPB. The primary outcome is the rate of HL. The infants will be divided into two groups based on the presence or not of HL. Pre- and intraoperative factors will be tested for independent association with HL. Then, we will make an analysis, and the critical value of VCO2i will be obtained. The postoperative outcome of patients with or without HL will be compared. DISCUSSION This will be the first trial to investigate the association of VCO2i during CPB and HL, and explore the critical VCO2i threshold during CPB in pediatrics. The results of this study are expected to lay a foundation for clinical application of goal-directed perfusion (GDP) management strategy, and optimize the perfusion strategy and improve the prognosis of pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
The delivery of a mini-dystrophin gene to skeletal muscles using recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype (AAV) holds great potential as a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, the presence of anti-AAV-neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) may impede the effectiveness of gene transduction. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anti-AAV9 NAbs in Chinese patients with DMD, and to characterize the target population for an AAV gene therapy. A total of one hundred male patients with DMD were included in this study, and demographic and clinical data were collected. A blood specimen was obtained from each participant for the purpose of evaluating the existence of anti-AAV9 NAbs through a cell-based functional assay conducted at a central laboratory. A NAb titer exceeding 1:4 was considered positive. The positivity rates of anti-AAV9 NAb were compared among different subgroups. The median age of this DMD cohort was 8 years old, ranging from 3 to 15 years of age. Forty-two percent of patients tested positive for anti-AAV9 NAb. Notably, all samples from patients under 4 years of age tested negative, and the positivity rates of anti-AAV9 NAb differed significantly across the three age subgroups (<4 years old, ≥4 years old and <12 years old, and ≥12 years old, χ2 = 7.221, p = 0.023). Further investigation into the living environment revealed a higher positivity rate of anti-AAV9 NAb in rural patients compared with urban patients (χ2 = 3.923, p = 0.048). Moreover, the prevalence in patients from different cities/provinces varied greatly (χ2 = 16.550, p = 0.003). There was no statistically significant difference in the positivity rate of NAb among subgroups of patients with different motor functions (ambulatory or nonambulatory) and different treatment strategies (taking or not taking glucocorticoid). In Chinese DMD patients, the prevalence of anti-AAV9 NAb was found to reach 42%. Moreover, the antibody-positive rate in children <4 years of age was low and revealed notable regional discrepancies.

Abstract
Pigeon paramyxovirus 1 (PPMV-1) is an antigenic host variant of avian paramyxovirus 1. Sporadic outbreaks of PPMV-1 infection have occurred in pigeons in China; however, few cases of human PPMV-1 infection have been reported. The purpose of this article is to report a case of severe human PPMV-1 infection in an individual with probable post-COVID-19 syndrome (long COVID) who presented with rapidly progressing pulmonary infection. The patient was a 66-year-old man who was admitted to the intensive care unit 11 days after onset of pneumonia and recovered 64 days after onset. PPMV-1 was isolated from the patient's sputum and in cloacal smear samples from domesticated pigeons belonging to the patient's neighbour. Residual severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was detected in respiratory and anal swab samples from the patient. Sequencing analyses revealed that the PPMV-1 genome belonged to genotype VI.2.1.1.2.2 and had the 112RRQKRF117 motif in the cleavage site of the fusion protein, which is indicative of high virulence. This case of cross-species transmission of PPMV-1 from a pigeon to a human highlights the risk of severe PPMV-1 infection in immunocompromised patients, especially those with long COVID. Enhanced surveillance for increased risk of severe viral infection is warranted in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficiency and the mechanism of fractional erbium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser for the treatment of morphea in mouse model. BACKGROUND Morphea is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by excessive collagen deposition in skin. Fractional Er:YAG laser treatment is a promising treatment to improve morphea, despite limited studies about the therapeutic effect and underlying mechanism. METHODS The mouse model of morphea was established by subcutaneously injecting with bleomycin (BLM). A total of 24 mice received fractional Er:YAG laser treatment once a week for 4 weeks. Objective measurement employed was ultrasonic imaging to measure dermal thickness. Subjective measures included scoring according to the adjusted Localized morphea Cutaneous Assessment Tool (LoSCAT); hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining to evaluate the histological grade of fibrosis; and quantitative morphometric studies to determine the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In this self-controlled study, fractional Er:YAG laser treatment significantly ameliorate the severity of morphea, including lower clinical score (p < 0.01), decreased dermal thickness (p < 0.001), declined histological grade of fibrosis (p < 0.001), increased MMP1 (p < 0.001), and reduced TGF-β1 (p < 0.01) expression. CONCLUSIONS We found that fractional Er:YAG laser treatment of morphea has good clinical, ultrasonic, and histopathologic efficacy, which may be a promising treatment in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the characteristics of respiratory involvement in Chinese paediatric neuromuscular disease (NMD) at early stage and to explore convenient monitoring methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Children with NMD (age < 18) diagnosed at a multidisciplinary joint NMD clinic at Peking University First Hospital from January 2016 to April 2021 were included. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) and pulmonary function test (PFT) data were analysed, and the characteristics of four groups: congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD), congenital myopathy, spinal muscular atrophy, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were compared. RESULTS A total of 83 children with NMD were referred for respiratory assessment, of who 80 children underwent PSG; 41 performed spirometry and 38, both. The duration of pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) <90% over apnoea and hypopnoea index (AHI) was lowest in DMD and significantly different from CMD (p = 0.033). AHI was positively correlated with the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) (r = 0.929, p = 0.000). The peak expiratory flow (PEF) were positively correlated with forced vital capacity (FVC), both as actual values and percent pred, respectively (r = 0.820, 0.719, p = 0.000). ROC derived sensitivity and specificity of prediction of AHI > 15/h or duration of SpO2<90% ≥ 60 min from FVC <51% pred was 75.8% and 85.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AHI and hypoxia burden were independent factors in children with NMD in PSG and attention needed to be paid in both. FVC might be a daytime predictor for significant sleep-disordered breathing or hypoxia. Nocturnal consecutive oximetry with diurnal peak flow measurement may be convenient and effective for home monitoring at early stage of respiratory involvement.

Abstract
Objective.Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has emerged as a prominent non-invasive technique for modulating brain function and treating mental disorders. By generating a high-precision magnetically evoked electric field (E-field) using a TMS coil, it enables targeted stimulation of specific brain regions. However, current computational methods employed for E-field simulations necessitate extensive preprocessing and simulation time, limiting their fast applications in the determining the optimal coil placement.Approach.We present an attentional deep learning network to simulate E-fields. This network takes individual magnetic resonance images and coil configurations as inputs, firstly transforming the images into explicit brain tissues and subsequently generating the local E-field distribution near the target brain region. Main results. Relative to the previous deep-learning simulation method, the presented method reduced the mean relative error in simulated E-field strength of gray matter by 21.1%, and increased the correlation between regional E-field strengths and corresponding electrophysiological responses by 35.0% when applied into another dataset.In-vivoTMS experiments further revealed that the optimal coil placements derived from presented method exhibit comparable stimulation performance on motor evoked potentials to those obtained using computational methods. The simplified preprocessing and increased simulation efficiency result in a significant reduction in the overall time cost of traditional TMS coil placement optimization, from several hours to mere minutes.Significance.The precision and efficiency of presented simulation method hold promise for its application in determining individualized coil placements in clinical practice, paving the way for personalized TMS treatments.

Abstract
Batteries and electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are of critical importance for applications such as electric vehicles, electric grids, and mobile devices. However, the performance of existing battery and EC technologies falls short of meeting the requirements of high energy/high power and long durability for increasing markets such as the automotive industry, aerospace, and grid-storage utilizing renewable energies. Therefore, improving energy storage materials performance metrics is imperative. In the past two decades, radiation has emerged as a new means to modify functionalities in energy storage materials. There exists a common misconception that radiation with energetic ions and electrons will always cause radiation damage to target materials, which might potentially prevent its applications in electrochemical energy storage systems. But in this review, we summarize recent progress in radiation effects on materials for electrochemical energy storage systems to show that radiation can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on various types of energy materials. Prior work suggests that fundamental understanding toward the energy loss mechanisms that govern the resulting microstructure, defect generation, interfacial properties, mechanical properties, and eventual electrochemical properties is critical. We discuss radiation effects in the following categories: (1) defect engineering, (2) interface engineering, (3) radiation-induced degradation, and (4) radiation-assisted synthesis. We analyze the significant trends and provide our perspectives and outlook on current research and future directions in research seeking to harness radiation as a method for enhancing the synthesis and performance of battery materials.

Abstract
Mouthguards are used to prevent craniomaxillofacial injuries when collisions happen during contact and high-speed sports. However, poor compliance with mouthguard wear in athletes is attributed to discomfort because of its thickness and hardness. These drawbacks significantly restrict their protective performance for oral tissues and applications during contact sports; as a result, the incidence of craniomaxillofacial injuries increases. In this study, non-Newton material is introduced into mouthguard material and then a mouthguard with shear-stiffening behavior is fabricated, which is named the shear-stiffening mouthguard (SSM). Compared with commercial mouthguard materials (Erkoflex and Erkoloc-pro), SSMs show remarkable enhancement of shock absorption ability with an approximately 60% reduction in peak force relative to commercial materials and approximately 3-fold extensive buffer time. Moreover, Young's modulus of SSMs (average 0.48 MPa) is extremely lower compared to commercial materials (22.88 MPa for Erkoflex and 26.71 MPa for Erkoloc-pro). This manifests that SSMs have not only excellent shock absorption ability but also softness perception. Moreover, SSMs show biocompatibility in vitro. In conclusion, this work provides a platform to develop a new type of thin and soft mouthguard with a shear-stiffening effect and broadens the horizon in protecting oral tissues with shear-stiffening materials.

Abstract
Objective.Transcranial magnetic stimulation in combination with electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) has been widely used to study the reactivity and connectivity of brain regions. In order to efficiently and fast solve the pulse artifacts problem caused by TMS electromagnetic pulses, a three-dimensional adaptive rational quadratic Hermite interpolation algorithm is proposed.Approach.Firstly, a three-dimensional signal matrix is obtained by a signal recombination algorithm, where the removed window is automatically obtained by a derivative threshold. Secondly, the adaptive rational quartic Hermite interpolation algorithm is used to interpolate the removed window. Finally, the performance of the algorithm is verified using simulated and public database data.Main results.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the SNR by 23.88%-47.60%, reduces the RMSE by 46.52%-81.11%, reduces the average MAE by 47.83%-58.33%, and reduces the time consumption of the proposed algorithm by 45.90% compared with the piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation algorithm.Significance.Therefore, TMS-EEG pulse artifacts can be removed effectively and quickly with the proposed algorithm.

Abstract
Liquid electrolytes in batteries are typically treated as macroscopically homogeneous ionic transport media despite having a complex chemical composition and atomistic solvation structures, leaving a knowledge gap of the microstructural characteristics. Here, we reveal a unique micelle-like structure in a localized high-concentration electrolyte, in which the solvent acts as a surfactant between an insoluble salt in a diluent. The miscibility of the solvent with the diluent and simultaneous solubility of the salt results in a micelle-like structure with a smeared interface and an increased salt concentration at the centre of the salt-solvent clusters that extends the salt solubility. These intermingling miscibility effects have temperature dependencies, wherein a typical localized high-concentration electrolyte peaks in localized cluster salt concentration near room temperature and is used to form a stable solid-electrolyte interphase on a Li metal anode. These findings serve as a guide to predicting a stable ternary phase diagram and connecting the electrolyte microstructure with electrolyte formulation and formation protocols of solid-electrolyte interphases for enhanced battery cyclability.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical and imaging features of acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion(AESD) in children. Methods: For the case series study, 21 children with AESD from Peking University First Hospital, Provincial Children's Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, and Shanxi Children's Hospital who were diagnosed and treated from October 2021 to July 2023 were selected. Clinical data were collected to summarize their clinical information, imaging, and laboratory tests, as well as treatment and prognostic characteristics. Descriptive statistical analysis was applicated. Results: Of the 21 cases with AESD, 11 were males and 10 were females, with the age of onset of 2 years and 6 months (1 year and 7 months, 3 years and 6 months). Of the 21 cases, 18 were typical cases with biphasic seizures. All typical cases had early seizures within 24 hours before or after fever onset. Among them, 16 cases had generalized seizures, 2 cases had focal seizures, and 7 cases reached the status epilepticus. Of the 21 cases, 3 atypical cases had late seizures in biphasic only. The late seizures in the 21 cases occurred on days 3 to 9. The types of late seizures included focal seizures in 12 cases, generalized seizures in 6 cases, and both focal and generalized seizures in 3 cases. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) test on days 3 to 11 showed reduced diffusion of subcortical white matter which was named "bright tree sign" in all cases. The diffuse cerebral atrophy predominantly presented in the front-parietal-temporal lobes was found in 19 cases between day 12 and 3 months after the onset of the disease. Among 21 cases, 20 had been misdiagnosed as autoimmune encephalitis, central nervous system infection, febrile convulsions, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and hemiconvulsion-hemiplegia-epilepsy syndrome. All the cases received high-dose gammaglobulin and methylprednisolone pulse therapy with poor therapeutic effect. By July 2023, 18 cases were under follow-up. Among them, 17 cases were left with varying degrees of neurologic sequelae, including 11 cases with post-encephalopathic epilepsy; 1 recovered completely. Conclusions: AESD is characterized by biphasic seizures clinically and "bright tree sign" on DWI images. Symptomatic and supportive treatments are recommended. The immunotherapy is ineffective. The prognosis of AESD is poor, with a high incidence of neurological sequelae and a low mortality.

Abstract
In recent years, electrical impedance tomography has widely been used in stroke detection. To improve the prediction accuracy and anti-noise ability of the system, the inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography needs to be solved, for which cascade convolutional neural networks are used. The proposed network is divided into two parts so that the advantages can be compounded when parts of a network are cascaded together. To get high-resolution imaging, an optimized network based on encoding and decoding is designed in the first part. The second part is composed of a residual module, which is used to extract the characteristics of voltage information and ensure that no information is lost. The anti-noise performance of the network is better than other networks. In physical experiments, it is also proved that the algorithm can roughly restore the location of the object in the field.
