Abstract
With the large number of atypical cases in the mpox outbreak, which was classified as a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 23 July 2022, rapid diagnosis of mpox and diseases with similar symptoms to mpox such as chickenpox and respiratory infectious diseases in the early stages of viral infection is key to controlling the spread of the outbreak. In this study, antibodies against the monkeypox virus A29L protein were efficiently and rapidly identified by combining rapid mRNA immunization with high-throughput sequencing of individual B cells. We obtained eight antibodies with a high affinity for A29L validated by ELISA, which were was used as the basis for developing an ultrasensitive fluorescent immunochromatographic assay based on multilayer quantum dot nanobeads (SiTQD-ICA). The SiTQD-ICA biosensor utilizing M53 and M78 antibodies showed high sensitivity and stability of detection: A29L was detected within 20 min, with a minimum detection limit of 5 pg/mL. A specificity test showed that the method was non-cross-reactive with chickenpox or common respiratory pathogens and can be used for early and rapid diagnosis of monkeypox virus infection by antigen detection. This antibody identification method can also be used for rapid acquisition of monoclonal antibodies in early outbreaks of other infectious diseases for various studies.

Abstract
Pickled radish is a traditional fermented food with a unique flavor after long-term preservation. This study analyzed the organoleptic and chemical characteristics of pickled radish from different years to investigate quality changes during pickling. The results showed that the sourness, saltiness, and aftertaste-bitterness increased after pickling, and bitterness and astringency decreased. The levels of free amino acids, soluble sugars, total phenols, and total flavonoids initially decreased during pickling but increased with prolonged pickling. The diversity of organic acids also increased over time. Through non-targeted metabolomics analysis, 349 differential metabolites causing metabolic changes were identified to affect the quality formation of pickled radish mainly through amino acid metabolism, phenylpropane biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. Correlation analysis showed that L*, soluble sugars, lactic acid, and acetic acid were strongly associated with taste quality. These findings provide a theoretical basis for standardizing and scaling up traditional pickled radish production.

Abstract
Frog skin, a by-product of Quasipaa Spinosa farming, is rich in protein and potentially a valuable raw material for obtaining antioxidant peptides. This study used papain combined with acid protease to digest frog skin in a two-step enzymatic hydrolysis method. Based on a single factor and response surface experiments, experimental conditions were optimized, and the degree of hydrolysis was 30 %. A frog skin hydrolysate (QSPH-Ⅰ-3) was obtained following ultrafiltration and gel filtration chromatography. IC50 for DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radical scavenging capacities were 1.68 ± 0.05, 1.20 ± 0.14 and 1.55 ± 0.11 mg/mL, respectively. Peptide sequences (17) were analyzed and, through molecular docking, peptides with low binding energies for KEAP1 were identified, which might affect the NRF2-KEAP1 pathway. These findings suggest protein hydrolysates and antioxidant peptide derivatives might be used in functional foods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute suppurative terminal cholangitis (ASTC) is rarer than acute obstructive cholangitis and is not well studied. To explore this subtype of acute cholangitis, we described our clinical experience with ASTC. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients with ASTC admitted to our center from September 2014 to August 2020. We analyzed their clinical characteristics, including etiology, clinical manifestations, imaging features, treatment and prognosis. RESULTS A total of 32 ASTC patients were included in the analysis. The majority of the patients had a history of biliary operations, and clinical manifestations were occult and atypical. The positive rate of bacterial culture was 46.9%. All the patients had typical imaging features on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment with effective antibiotics was provided as soon as diagnosis was established. After treatment, most patients had a good outcome. Elevated levels of total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, procalcitonin and gamma-glutamyltransferase were the characteristics of critically ill patients and were associated with relatively poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that ASTC should be recognized as a new subtype of acute cholangitis, and that earlier diagnosis and more personalized treatments are needed.

Abstract
Background Intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) is a common spine disease, and inflammation is considered to be one of its main pathogenesis. Apigetrin (API) is a natural bioactive flavonoid isolated from various herbal medicines and shows attractive anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties; whereas, there is no exploration of the therapeutic potential of API on IVDD. Here, we aim to explore the potential role of API on IVDD in vivo and in vitro. Methods In vitro, western blotting, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immunofluorescence analysis were implemented to explore the bioactivity of API on interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced inflammatory changes in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). In vivo, histological staining and immunohistochemistry were employed to investigate the histological changes of intervertebral disk sections on puncture-induced IVDD rat models. Results In vitro, API played a crucial role in anti-inflammation and autophagy enhancement in IL-1β-induced NPCs. API improved inflammation by inhibiting the nuclear factor-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinas pathways, whereas it promoted autophagy via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT/mammalian target of the rapamycin pathway. Furthermore, in vivo experiment illustrated that API mitigates the IVDD progression in puncture-induced IVDD model. Conclusions API inhibited degenerative phenotypes and promoted autophagy in vivo and in vitro IVDD models. Those suggested that API might be a potential drug or target for IVDD.

Abstract
This study was intended to investigate whether Hericium erinaceus polysaccharides (HEP) prevent oxidative stress and apoptosis of intestinal porcine epithelial cells from jejunum (IPEC-J2 cells) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Crude HEP were extracted and purified by chromatography. The ultraviolet and infrared spectra and monosaccharide composition of HEP were analyzed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was quantified by flow cytometry method, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) production were determined by TBARS. Also, apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry method and the apoptosis-related regulatory molecules were determined by microplate or western blotting method. Our results showed that pretreatment of IPEC-J2 cells with HEP significantly scavenged ROS and reduced LDH and MDA production. HEP also reduced apoptosis and kept polarity of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, HEP increased the content of caspase-3 and PARP, and protein expression of Bcl-2, while inhibited Bax and Bad and reduced the content of caspase-9 and release of CytC. Meanwhile, HEP inhibited the protein expression of TNFR1, FAS, and FASL, and decreased the content of caspase-8. The results indicated that HEP had a protective effect against oxidative stress in IPEC-J2 cells and the underlying mechanism was reducing apoptosis via mitochondrial and death receptor pathways.

Abstract
Quantifying drivers contributing to air quality improvements is crucial for pollution prevention and optimizing local policies. Despite advances in machine learning for air quality analysis, their limited interpretability hinders attribution on global and local scales, vital for informed city management. Our study introduces an innovative framework quantifying socioeconomic and natural impacts on mitigation of particulate matter pollution in 31 Chinese major cities from 2014 to 2021. Two indices, formulated based on the additivity of Shapley additive explanations, are proposed to measure driver contributions globally and locally. Our analysis explores the self-contained and interactive effects of these drivers on particulate levels, pinpointing critical threshold values where these drivers trigger shifts in particulate matter levels. It is revealed that SO2, NOx, and dust emission reductions collectively account for 51.58 % and 51.96 % of PM2.5 and PM10 decreases at the global level. Moreover, our findings unveil a significant heterogeneity in driver contributions to pollutant mitigation across distinct cities, which can be instrumental in crafting location-specific policy recommendations.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide. Early diagnosis helps to reduce mortality and improve survival. Aptamers are widely used in cancer screening because of their high specificity, good stability and low cost. In this study, using the specific aptamer of lung cancer serum, the sandwich method colloidal gold test strip was prepared by isothermal amplification technique and the principle of nucleic acid hybridisation for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. The results showed that the test strip was positive in 8 patients with lung cancer, which was consistent with the actual cases. The test strip can accurately identify lung cancer patients. The concentration range of nucleic acid detection is 1 × 10-4 - 7 × 10-4 mol/L, and the detection limit is 0.67 mM. The test strip detection method has low cost and simple operation, and provides a reference for the development of home portable tumor early detection.

Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) has been widely utilized as a valuable assessment tool for diagnosing epilepsy in hospital settings. However, clinical diagnosis of patients with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) is challenging due to the presence of similar abnormal discharges in EEG displays compared to other types of epilepsy (non-SeLECTS) patients. To assist the diagnostic process of epilepsy, a comprehensive classification study utilizing machine learning or deep learning techniques is proposed. In this study, clinical EEG was collected from 33 patients diagnosed with either SeLECTS or non-SeLECTS, aged between 3 and 11 years. In the realm of classical machine learning, sharp wave features (including upslope, downslope, and width at half maximum) were extracted from the EEG data. These features were then combined with the random forest (RF) and extreme random forest (ERF) classifiers to differentiate between SeLECTS and non-SeLECTS. Additionally, deep learning was employed by directly inputting the EEG data into a deep residual network (ResNet) for classification. The classification results were evaluated based on accuracy, F1-score, area under the curve (AUC), and area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC). Following a 10-fold cross-validation, the ERF classifier achieved an accuracy of 73.15 % when utilizing sharp wave feature extraction for classification. The F1-score obtained was 0.72, while the AUC and AUPRC values were 0.75 and 0.63, respectively. On the other hand, the ResNet model achieved a classification accuracy of 90.49 %, with an F1-score of 0.90. The AUC and AUPRC values for ResNet were found to be 0.96 and 0.92, respectively. These results highlighted the significant potential of deep learning methods in SeLECTS classification research, owing to their high accuracy. Moreover, feature extraction-based methods demonstrated good reliability and could assist in identifying relevant biological features of SeLECTS within EEG data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (PM-GC), recognized as one of the deadliest cancers. However, whether and how the tumor cell-extrinsic tumor microenvironment (TME) is involved in the therapeutic failure remains unknown. Thus, this study systematically assessed the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in ascites from patients with PM-GC, and its contribution to dissemination and immune evasion of ascites-disseminated tumor cells (aDTCs). METHODS Sixty-three ascites and 43 peripheral blood (PB) samples from 51 patients with PM-GC were included in this study. aDTCs in ascites and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in paired PB were immunophenotypically profiled. Using single-cell RNA transcriptional sequencing (scRNA-seq), crosstalk between aDTCs and the TME features of ascites was inspected. Further studies on the mechanism underlying aDTCs-immune cells crosstalk were performed on in vitro cultured aDTCs. RESULTS Immune cells in ascites interact with aDTCs, prompting their immune evasion. Specifically, we found that the tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in ascites underwent a continuum lineage transition from cathepsinhigh (CTShigh) to complement 1qhigh (C1Qhigh) TAM. CTShigh TAM initially attracted the metastatic tumor cells to ascites, thereafter, transitioning terminally to C1Qhigh TAM to trigger overproliferation and immune escape of aDTCs. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that C1Qhigh TAMs significantly enhanced the expression of PD-L1 and NECTIN2 on aDTCs, which was driven by the activation of the C1q-mediated complement pathway. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, we identified an immunosuppressive macrophage transition from CTShigh to C1Qhigh TAM in ascites from patients with PM-GC. This may contribute to developing potential TAM-targeted immunotherapies for PM-GC.

Abstract
Microglia induced chronic inflammation is the critical pathology of Neuropathic pain (NP). Metabolic reprogramming of macrophage has been intensively reported in various chronic inflammation diseases. However, the metabolic reprogramming of microglia in chronic pain remains to be elusive. Here, we reported that immuno-metabolic markers (HIF-1α, PKM2, GLUT1 and lactate) were related with increased expression of PRMT6 in the ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal horn of the chronic construction injury (CCI) mice. PRMT6 deficiency or prophylactic and therapeutic intrathecal administration of PRMT6 inhibitor (EPZ020411) ameliorated CCI-induced NP, inflammation and glycolysis in the ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal horn. PRMT6 knockout or knockdown inhibited LPS-induced inflammation, proliferation and glycolysis in microglia cells. While PRMT6 overexpression exacerbated LPS-induced inflammation, proliferation and glycolysis in BV2 cells. Recent research revealed that PRMT6 could interact with and methylate HIF-1α, which increased HIF-1α protein stability. In sum, increased expression of PRMT6 exacerbates NP progress by increasing glycolysis and neuroinflammation through interacting with and stabilizing HIF-1α in a methyltransferase manner, which outlines novel pathological mechanism and drug target for NP.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioma presents high incidence and poor prognosis, and therefore more effective treatments are needed. Studies have confirmed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) basically regulate various human diseases including glioma. It has been theorized that HAS2-AS1 serves as an lncRNA to exert an oncogenic role in varying cancers. This study aimed to assess the value of lncRNA HAS2-AS1 as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for glioma. METHODS The miRNA expression data and clinical data of glioma were downloaded from the TCGA database for differential analysis and survival analysis. In addition, pathological specimens and specimens of adjacent normal tissue from 80 patients with glioma were used to observe the expression of HAS2-AS1. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic ability and prognostic value of HAS2-AS1 in glioma. Meanwhile, a Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted to evaluate the survival of glioma patients with different HAS2-AS1 expression levels. RESULTS HAS2-AS1 was significantly upregulated in glioma tissues compared with normal tissue. The survival curves showed that overexpression of HAS2-AS1 was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Several clinicopathological factors of glioma patients, including tumor size and WHO grade, were significantly correlated with HAS2-AS1 expression in tissues. The ROC curve showed an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.863, indicating that HAS2-AS1 had good diagnostic value. The ROC curve for the predicted OS showed an AUC of 0.906, while the ROC curve for predicted PFS showed an AUC of 0.88. Both suggested that overexpression of HAS2-AS1 was associated with poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Normal tissues could be clearly distinguished from glioma tissues based on HAS2-AS1 expression. Moreover, overexpression of HAS2-AS1 indicated poor prognosis in glioma patients. Therefore, HAS2-AS1 could be used as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for glioma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify radiological characteristics that could help differentiate cystic lung diseases between primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) and idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with pSS or iMCD who had cysts were enrolled. Cyst characteristics (number, size, morphology, and distribution) and other accompanying manifestations (nodules, ground-glass opacities, calcification, and thickening of the bronchovascular bundles and interlobular septa) were compared between them. RESULTS Eleven patients with pSS and 25 patients with iMCD were eligible for our study. Eleven patients with pSS (100.0%) and 23 patients with iMCD (92.0%) had round or oval cysts. None of the patients with pSS had irregular cysts, but 21 (84.0%) patients with iMCD had irregular cysts (P = 0.005). Smooth-walled cysts were present in 11 patients with pSS (100.0%) and 18 patients with iMCD (72.0%). Only 1 patient with pSS (9.1%) exhibited non-smooth-walled cysts, whereas 23 patients with iMCD (92.0%) had non-smooth-walled cysts (P = 0.003). The presence of nodules was common in both groups (P = 1.000). However, the nodules were more likely to be larger and more numerous in patients with iMCD (P < 0.001). Cysts with mural nodules (52.2%) and central nodules (47.8%) were only observed in iMCD (P = 0.007). CONCLUSION Although regular and smooth-walled cysts were common in the 2 diseases, irregular and non-smooth-walled cysts were more often associated with iMCD than pSS. Nodules in iMCD tended to be larger and more numerous, and a close positional relationship between nodules and cysts was only observed in iMCD.

Four distinct CeO2 catalysts featuring varied morphologies (nanorods, nanocubes, nanoparticles, and nano spindle-shaped) were synthesized through a hydrothermal process and subsequently employed in the oxidation of dichloromethane (DCM). The findings revealed that the nano spindle-shaped CeO2 exhibited exposure of crystal faces (111), demonstrating superior catalytic oxidation performance for DCM with a T90 of 337 °C and notably excellent low-temperature catalytic activity (T50 = 192 °C). The primary reaction products were identified as HCl and CO2. Through obvious characterizations, it showed that the excellent catalytic activity presented by CeO2-s catalyst might be related to the higher oxygen vacancy concentration, surface active oxygen content, and superior redox performance caused by specific exposed crystal planes. Meanwhile, CeO2-s catalyst owned outstanding stability, reusability, and water inactivation regeneration, which had tremendous potential in practical treatment.

Abstract
The aggregation behavior of amphiphilic block copolymers at the air-water interface has been extensively studied, but less attention was given to that of star copolymers. In this work, we studied the interfacial aggregation behavior of two double hydrophilic pH- and temperature-responsive miktoarm star copolymers of poly[di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]-poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDEGMA3-PDMAEMA3 and PDEGMA4-PDMAEMA7, the subscripts denote arm numbers) with different molecular weights. The effects of subphase pH and temperature on the monolayer isotherms and hysteresis curves of the two star copolymers and the morphologies of their Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films were studied by the Langmuir film balance technique and atomic force microscopy, respectively. At the air-water interface, the two star copolymers tend to form closely packed micelles. These micelles exhibit a core-shell structure, where the small hydrophobic core consists of cross-linker of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and the carbon backbones of PDEGMA and PDMAEMA arms and the short hydrophilic shell is composed of di(ethylene glycol) and tertiary amine side groups. With increasing subphase pH, the surface pressure versus molecular area isotherms shift toward larger mean molecular areas as a result of the enhanced interface adsorption of nonprotonated tertiary amine groups. The isotherm shift of PDEGMA3-PDMAEMA3 monolayers is primarily attributed to high density of tertiary amine groups in the shells, while that of PDEGMA4-PDMAEMA7 is mainly attributed to high density of di(ethylene glycol) groups in the shells. The hysteresis degrees in the monolayers of the two copolymers under alkaline and neutral conditions are greater than those under acidic conditions due to the decreased protonation degree of the tertiary amine groups. At 10 °C, the mobility of the shells is poor and the isotherms are located on the right. Above the lower critical solution temperature, di(ethylene glycol) groups contract, which causes a slight shift of the isotherms toward smaller mean molecular areas.

Abstract
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is a common side effect during antibiotic treatment, and this has warranted research into alternative protocols. In this study, we investigated the potential therapeutic effects of three cohorts, Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS 1.0386, Lactobacillus acidophilus KLDS 1.0901 and a mixed strain of both, on intestinal inflammation, the intestinal mucosal barrier, and microbial community in mice with ampicillin-induced diarrhea. The results showed that Lactobacillus inhibited the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines in the murine intestine, and alleviated the intestinal barrier damage and inflammation induced by ampicillin. In addition, Lactobacillus ameliorates intestinal epithelial barrier damage by increasing the expression of tight junction proteins and aquaporins. After Lactobacillus treatment, the diversity of gut microbiota increased significantly, and the composition and function of gut microbiota gradually recovered. In the gut microbiota, Bacteroidetes and Escherichia Shigella related to the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were significantly affected by ampicillin, while Lactobacillus regulates the cascade of the microbial-SCFA signaling pathway, which greatly promoted the generation of SCFAs. Collectively, Lactobacillus showed better results in treating AAD, especially in mixed strains.

Abstract
Chemical modifications of enzymes excel in the realm of enzyme engineering due to its directness, robustness, and efficiency; however, challenges persist in devising versatile and effective strategies. In this study, we introduce a supramolecular modification methodology that amalgamates a supramolecular polymer with Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) to create supramolecular enzymes (SupEnzyme). This approach features the straightforward preparation of a supramolecular amphiphilic polymer (β-CD@SMA), which was subsequently conjugated to the enzyme, resulting in a SupEnzyme capable of self-assembly into supramolecular nanoparticles. The resulting SupEnzyme nanoparticles can form micron-scale supramolecular aggregates through supramolecular and electrostatic interactions with guest entities, thus enhancing catalyst recycling. Remarkably, these aggregates maintain 80 % activity after seven cycles, outperforming Novozym 435. Additionally, they can effectively initiate photobiocatalytic cascade reactions using guest photocatalysts. As a consequence, our SupEnzyme methodology exhibits noteworthy adaptability in enzyme modification, presenting a versatile platform for various polymer, enzyme, and biocompatible catalyst pairings, with potential applications in the fields of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Many studies have shown that fiber in the diet plays an important role in improving the reproductive performance of sows, but there is rarely research on the impact of fiber on early embryo implantation. This study used 4D-Label free technology to identify and analyze the effect of the fiber composition in the diet on the protein in the early pregnancy uterine fluid (UF) of sows. The results indicate that ratio of insoluble fibers to soluble fibers (ISF/SF) 4.89 can increase the concentration of progesterone (PROG) and reduce tumor necrosis factorα (TNF-α) concentration in sow UF. In addition, through 4D-Label free, we identified a total of 4248 proteins, 38 proteins abundance upregulated and 283 proteins abundance downregulated in UF. Through enrichment analysis of these differential abundance proteins (DAPs), it was found that these differential proteins are mainly related to the docking of extracellular vesicles, vesicular transport, inflammatory response, and insulin resistance. Therefore, the results of this study reveal the possible mechanism by which fiber improves the reproductive performance of sows, laying a theoretical foundation for future research on the effects of diet on reproduction. SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates the importance of dietary fiber for early embryo implantation in sows. The effect of dietary ISF/SF on early embryo implantation in sows was elucidated from a proteomic perspective through 4D-Label free technology. This study not only has significant implications for improving sow reproductive efficiency, but also provides important theoretical references for studying early miscarriage and reproductive nutrition in human pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The first six months of therapy represents a high-risk period for peritoneal dialysis (PD) failure. The risk of death in the first six months is higher for older patients treated with urgent-start PD (USPD). However, there are still gaps in research on mortality and risk factors for death in this particular group of patients. We aimed to investigate mortality rates and risk factors for death in older patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving USPD within and after six months of therapy. METHODS We retrospectively studied the clinical information of older adults aged ≥ 65 years with ESRD who received USPD between 2013 and 2019 in five Chinese hospitals. Patients were followed up to June 30, 2020. The mortality and risk factors for death in the first six months of USPD treatment and beyond were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 379 elderly patients in the study, 130 died over the study period. During the follow-up period, the highest number (45, 34.6%) of deaths occurred within the first six months. Cardiovascular disease was the most common cause of death. The baseline New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV cardiac function [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.457, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.200-5.030, p = 0.014] and higher white blood cell (WBC) count (HR = 1.082, 95% CI: 1.021-1.147, p = 0.008) increased the mortality risk within six months of USPD. The baseline NYHA class III-IV cardiac function (HR = 1.945, 95% CI: 1.149-3.294, p = 0.013), lower WBC count (HR = 0.917, 95% CI: 0.845-0.996, p = 0.040), lower potassium levels (HR = 0.584, 95% CI: 0.429-0.796, p = 0.001), and higher calcium levels (HR = 2.160, 95% CI: 1.025-4.554, p = 0.043) increased the mortality risk after six months of USPD. CONCLUSION Different risk factors correlated with mortality in older adults with ESRD within and after six months of undergoing USPD, including baseline NYHA class III-IV cardiac function, WBC count, potassium, and calcium levels.

Abstract
We successfully prepared mercury sulphide nanoparticle hydrogels by physical encapsulation method. The successfully prepared mercuric sulphide nanoparticle hydrogel was a zinc folate hydrogel, which showed an obvious porous structure with interconnected and uniformly distributed pores and a pore size range of about 20 μm. The maximum drug loading of the hydrogels was 3%, and the in vitro cumulative release degree was in accordance with the first-order kinetic equation Mt = 149.529 (1 - e-0.026t). The particles in mercuric sulphide nanoparticle hydrogels significantly down-regulated the expression of the cell surface co-stimulatory molecule CD86 (p < .0001). Meanwhile, the inflammatory response was regulated through the NF-κB pathway in LPS-induced inflammatory cells. Later, it was observed that mercuric sulphide nanoparticle hydrogels could significantly counteract the inflammatory and immune models through a mouse ear swelling model, a rat foot-plantar swelling model and a rheumatoid arthritis model. This design targets the immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects through nanocomposite hydrogel technology. It reduces the drawbacks of low mercury utilisation and susceptibility to accumulation of toxicity. It aims to provide an experimental basis for the development of mercuric sulphide and the treatment of inflammatory and immune-related diseases. HighlightsMercury sulphide nanoparticle hydrogel has an optimal mercury sulphide nanoparticle content of 2%, is structurally homogeneous and stable, and does not exhibit significant liver or kidney toxicity.Mercuric sulphide nanoparticle hydrogel exerts anti-inflammatory effects in cells and rats, and regulates the expression of macrophage surface molecules and factors related to the NF-κB pathway.Mercuric sulphide nanoparticle hydrogel improves the condition of ankle synovial joints in a rat model of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that mitochondrial abnormalities increase the risk of two neurodevelopmental disorders: undiagnosed developmental disorder (UDD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, which nuclear-encoded mitochondrial-related genes (NEMGs) were associated with UDD-ASD is unclear. AIM To explore the association between de novo variants (DNVs) of NEMGs and UDD-ASD. DESIGN Comprehensive analysis based on DNVs of NEMGs identified in patients (31 058 UDD probands and 10 318 ASD probands) and 4262 controls. METHODS By curating NEMGs and cataloging publicly published DNVs in NEMGs, we compared the frequency of DNVs in cases and controls. We also applied a TADA-denovo model to highlight disease-associated NEMGs and characterized them based on gene intolerance, functional networks and expression patterns. RESULTS Compared with levels in 4262 controls, an excess of protein-truncating variants and deleterious missense variants in 1421 cataloged NEMGs from 41 376 patients (31 058 UDD and 10 318 ASD probands) was observed. Overall, 3.23% of de novo deleterious missense variants and 3.20% of de novo protein-truncating variants contributed to 1.1% and 0.39% of UDD-ASD cases, respectively. We prioritized 130 disease-associated NEMGs and showed distinct expression patterns in the developing human brain. Disease-associated NEMGs expression was enriched in both excitatory and inhibitory neuronal lineages from the developing human cortex. CONCLUSIONS Rare genetic alterations of disease-associated NEMGs may play a role in UDD-ASD development and lay the groundwork for a better understanding of the biology of UDD-ASD.

Abstract
A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from the NHANES. Bone mineral density (BMD) was compared in different thyroid-specific autoantibodies groups. Strengths of associations were calculated by using binary logistic regression models. Higher titers of thyroid-specific autoantibodies (TgAb and/or TPOAb) may lead to decreased BMD. Higher prevalence of TgAb and TPOAb significantly associated with fractures in females but not in males. PURPOSE Hashimoto's thyroiditis is characterized by elevated thyroid-specific autoantibodies. It is currently believed that osteoporosis is not only a disease with abnormal mineral metabolism but also with immune abnormalities. This study investigated the relationship between thyroid-specific autoantibodies and osteoporosis, including the bone mineral density (BMD) values and fractures. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2010). BMD was compared in different thyroid-specific autoantibodies groups. The associations between thyroid-specific autoantibodies and fractures were explored. Strengths of associations were calculated by binary logistic regression models. Candidate variables for binary logistic regression model were selected after screened in univariate analysis (variables with P < 0.05). RESULTS A total of 3865 study participants were included in this analysis; 224 participants were TgAb positive and 356 were TPOAb positive. A total of 392 participants reported hip, spine or wrist fractures. Participants with higher prevalence of TgAb or TPOAb had lower BMD. In females, significant cigarettes use, higher prevalence of TgAb and TPOAb, and the BMD of the total femur and femoral neck were significantly associated with fractures. Higher prevalence of TPOAb was particularly associated with a higher possibility of hip or spine fractures. In males, significant cigarettes use, 25OHD3, the BMD values of the total femur, femoral neck and total spine were significantly associated with fractures. CONCLUSION Higher prevalence of thyroid-specific autoantibodies may lead to decreased BMD. In females, higher prevalence of TgAb and TPOAb significantly associated with fractures and TPOAb especially relating to the fractures of hip and spine. Males patients with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency associated a higher possibility of fractures.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the properties of radiation cross-linked collagen scaffold (RCS) and its efficacy for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP). RCS was prepared from collagen dispersion by electron beam irradiation and freeze-drying. The microstructure, swelling ratio, area alteration and mechanical properties of RCS were characterized. Fifty-four New Zealand rabbits performing incisor extraction on maxilla and mandible were randomly assigned into positive, sham operation or treatment groups. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans, performed after 1, 4, and 12 weeks of surgery, were to assess changes in ridge height at buccal and palatal side, in ridge width and in micromorphological parameters. Histological analysis accessed socket microarchitecture. The results showed that RCS had stable mechanical properties and morphologic features that provided a reliable physical support for ARP. Dimensional changes in treatment group revealed significantly greater vertical height at buccal (5.32 [3.37, 7.26] mm, p < .0001) and palatal (4.37 [2.66, 6.09] mm, p < .0001) side, and horizontal width at the maxilla (0.16 [0.04, 0.28] mm, p < .01) and mandible (0.33 [0.11, 0.54] mm, p < .01) than those in sham operation group after 12 weeks. The treatment group had advantage than positive group in vertical height preservation, quantitatively. The order and density of bone trabeculae were improved in treatment group. These findings indicated that RCS had the potential to serve as an effective scaffold for ARP.

Abstract
Synthesis of ammonia by electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. However, it is commonly obstructed by the high activation energy. Here, we report the design and synthesis of an Al-Al bonded dual atomic catalyst stabilized within an amorphous nitrogen-doped porous carbon matrix (Al2NC) with high NRR performance. The dual atomic Al2-sites act synergistically to catalyze the complex multiple steps of NRR through adsorption and activation, enhancing the proton-coupled electron transfer. This Al2NC catalyst exhibits a high Faradic efficiency of 16.56±0.3% with a yield rate of 29.22±1.2 µg.h-1.mgcat-1. The dual atomic Al2NC catalyst shows long-term repeatable, and stable NRR performance. This work presents an insight into the identification of synergistic dual atomic catalytic site and mechanistic pathway for the electrochemical conversion of N2 to NH3.

Abstract
PURPOSE The synergistic effects of combining arsenic compounds with imatinib against chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have been established using in vitro data. We conducted a clinical trial to compare the efficacy of the arsenic realgar-indigo naturalis formula (RIF) plus imatinib with that of imatinib monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML (CP-CML). METHODS In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial, 191 outpatients with newly diagnosed CP-CML were randomly assigned to receive oral RIF plus imatinib (n = 96) or placebo plus imatinib (n = 95). The primary end point was the major molecular response (MMR) at 6 months. Secondary end points include molecular response 4 (MR4), molecular response 4.5 (MR4.5), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 51 months. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the recruitment to this study had to be terminated early, on May 28, 2020. The rates of MMR had no significant statistical difference between combination and imatinib arms at 6 months and any other time during the trial. MR4 rates were similar in both arms. However, the 12-month cumulative rates of MR4.5 in the combination and imatinib arms were 20.8% and 10.5%, respectively (p = 0.043). In core treatment since the 2-year analysis, the frequency of MR4.5 was 55.6% in the combination arm and 38.6% in the imatinib arm (p = 0.063). PFS and OS were similar at five years. The safety profiles were similar and serious adverse events were uncommon in both groups. CONCLUSION The results of imatinib plus RIF as a first-line treatment of CP-CML compared with imatinib might be more effective for achieving a deeper molecular response (Chinadrugtrials number, CTR20170221).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether PD-L1 testing is needed to identify patients receiving PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors is an area of debate. METHODS PubMed and Embase were searched for phase III randomized clinical trials. We assessed the heterogeneity of overall survival (OS) between patients with high and low PD-L1 expression using an interaction test. RESULTS Seventy studies representing 44791 patients were included. Both the CPS and TPS can predict better survival from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in patients with high PD-L1 expression. However, only CPS 1 has the ability to select patients who are unlikely to respond to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, while an OS advantage can be obtained from PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors both in patients with high and low PD-L1 expression defined by CPS 5, CPS 10 and TPS. CONCLUSION CPS 1 is recommended to select patients with the likelihood of benefiting from PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors while excluding patients who may not respond.

Abstract
Neutrophil-mediated immunotherapy is a promising strategy for treating Candida albicans infection due to its potential in dealing with drug-resistant events. Our previous study found that ACT001 exhibited good antifungal immunotherapeutic activity by inhibiting PD-L1 expression in neutrophils, but its strong cytotoxicity and high BBB permeability hindered its antifungal application. To address these deficiencies, a series of novel sulfide derivatives were designed and synthesized based on a slow-release prodrug strategy. Among these derivatives, compound 16 exhibited stronger inhibition of PD-L1 expression, less cytotoxicity to neutrophils, and lower BBB permeability than ACT001. Compound 16 also significantly enhanced neutrophil-mediated antifungal immunity in C. albicans infected mice, with acceptable pharmacokinetic properties and good oral safety. Moreover, pharmacological mechanism studies demonstrated that ACT001 and compound 16 reduced PD-L1 expression in neutrophils by directly targeting STAT3. Briefly, this study provided a novel prototype compound 16 which exhibited great potential in neutrophil-mediated antifungal immunotherapy.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a mycotoxin that is harmful to humans and animals. In this study, female and male rats were exposed to ZEN, and the results showed that ZEN reduced the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression levels in the liver and disrupted the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids (BAs). A decrease in food intake induced by ZEN was negatively correlated with an increase in the level of total BAs. BA-targeted metabolomics revealed that ZEN increased glycochenodeoxycholic acid levels and decreased the ratio of conjugated BAs to unconjugated BAs, which further increased the hypothalamic FXR expression levels. Preventing the increase in total BA levels induced by ZEN via Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG intervention restored the appetite. In conclusion, ZEN disrupted the enterohepatic circulation of BAs to decrease the level of food intake. This study reveals a possible mechanism by which ZEN affects food intake and provides a new approach to decrease the toxic effects of ZEN.

Abstract
The primary drivers of eutrophication in lakes following the reduction of external nutrient inputs are the release of N and P from sediments. Constructed wetlands play a pivotal role in ameliorating N, P, and other biogenic element levels. However, the presence of large vegetation in these wetlands also substantially contributes to nutrient accumulation in sediments, a phenomenon influenced by seasonal variations. In this study, a typical constructed wetland was selected as the research site. The research aimed to analyze the forms of N and P in sediments during both summer and winter. Simultaneously, a comprehensive pollution assessment and analysis were conducted within the study area. The findings indicate that elevated summer temperatures, together with the presence of wetland vegetation, promote the release of N through the nitrification process. Additionally, seasonal variations exert a significant impact on the distribution of P storage. Furthermore, the role of constructed wetlands in the absorption and release of N and P is primarily controlled by the influence of organic matter on nitrate-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen, and available phosphorus, and is also subject to seasonal fluctuations. In summary, under the comprehensive influence of constructed wetlands, vegetation types, and seasons, sediments within the lake generally exhibit a state of mild or moderate pollution. Therefore, targeted measures should be adopted to optimally adjust vegetation types, and human intervention is necessary, involving timely sediment harvesting during the summer to reduce N and P loads, and enhancing sediment adsorption and retention capacity for N and P during the winter.

Abstract
Fenneropenaeus chinensis is a commercially important shrimp species cultured in China. This study investigated eight F. chinensis populations in China, including four geographical populations, three commercial breeds, and one wild population captured from the Yellow Sea. Population stratification analysis revealed that the Hebei geographical population and commercial breeding "Huanghai No. 4" were relatively independent and stable, reflecting a relatively closed breeding environment, whereas gene introgression was present between other populations. Selective signature analysis detected artificial selection for vision, growth, and disease resistance in the Hebei population. Neuronal development-related genes were detected to be under selection in the Changyi and Rizhao populations. Fertility of the Rizhao population was also investigated. Additionally, genes in the glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis-chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate pathway were involved in the high pH tolerance of the "Huanghai No. 4" population. This study provided support for the genetic mechanism of parsing economic traits and the development of molecular breeding technologies.

Abstract
A nanomicrocapsule system was constructed through the polymerization of tannic acid (TA) and emulsifier OP-10 (OP-10), followed by the chelation of iron ions, to develop a safe and effective method for controlling Rhizoctonia solani in agriculture. The encapsulated active component is a rosin-based triazole derivative (RTD) previously synthesized by our research group (RTD@OP10-TA-Fe). The encapsulation efficiency of the nanomicrocapsules is 82.39%, with an effective compound loading capacity of 96.49%. Through the encapsulation of the RTD via nanomicrocapsules, we improved its water solubility, optimized its stability, and increased its adhesion to the leaf surface. Under acidic conditions (pH = 5.0), the release rate of nanomicrocapsules at 96 h is 96.31 ± 0.8%, which is 2.04 times higher than the release rate under normal conditions (pH = 7.0). Additionally, the results of in vitro and in vivo antifungal assays indicate that compared with the original compound, the nanomicrocapsules exhibit superior antifungal activity (EC50 values of RTD and RTD@OP10-TA-Fe are 1.237 and 0.860 mg/L, respectively). The results of field efficacy trials indicate that compared with RTD, RTD@OP10-TA-Fe exhibits a more prolonged period of effectiveness. Even after 3 weeks, the antifungal rate of RTD@OP10-TA-Fe remains at 40%, whereas RTD, owing to degradation, shows an antifungal rate of 11.11% during the same period. Furthermore, safety assessment results indicate that compared with the control, RTD@OP10-TA-Fe has almost no impact on the growth of rice seedlings and exhibits low toxicity to zebrafish. This study provides valuable insights into controlling R. solani and enhancing the compound performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis-induced myocardial injury is a serious complication of sepsis. QT prolongation is a proarrhythmic state which reflects myocardial injury in a group of heterogeneous disorders. However, the study on the clinical value of QT prolongation in sepsis is limited. METHODS We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and predictors of new-onset QT prolongation in sepsis and its impact on the outcome in a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Electrocardiographic and clinical data were collected from patients with sepsis from the wards and intensive care units of four centers after exclusion of QT-influencing medications and electrolyte abnormalities. Clinical outcomes were compared between patients with and without QT prolongation (QTc > 450 ms). Multivariate analysis was performed to ascertain whether QT prolongation was an independent predictor for 30-day mortality. The factors predicting QT prolongation in sepsis were also analyzed. RESULTS New-onset QT prolongation occurred in 235/1024 (22.9%) patients. The majority demonstrated similar pattern as type 1 long QT syndrome. Patients with QT prolongation had a higher 30-day in-hospital mortality (P < 0.001), which was also associated with increased tachyarrhythmias including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or tachycardia (P < 0.001) and ventricular arrhythmia (P < 0.001) during hospitalization. QT prolongation independently predicted 30-day mortality (P = 0.044) after multivariate analysis. History of coronary artery disease (P = 0.001), septic shock (P = 0.008), acute respiratory (P < 0.001), heart (P = 0.021) and renal dysfunction (P = 0.013) were independent predictors of QT prolongation in sepsis. CONCLUSIONS New-onset QT prolongation in sepsis was associated with increased mortality as well as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, which was predicted by disease severity and organ dysfunction.

Abstract
N1-methyladenosine (m1A) modification is one of the most prevalent epigenetic modifications on RNA. Given the vital role of m1A modification in RNA processing such as splicing, stability and translation, developing a precise and controllable m1A editing tool is pivotal for in-depth investigating the biological functions of m1A. In this study, we developed an abscisic acid (ABA)-inducible and reversible m1A demethylation tool (termed AI-dm1A), which targets specific transcripts by combining the chemical proximity-induction techniques with the CRISPR/dCas13b system and ALKBH3. We successfully employed AI-dm1A to selectively demethylate the m1A modifications at MALAT1 A8422, and this demethylation process could be reversed by removing ABA. Furthermore, we validated its demethylating function on various types of cellular RNAs including mRNA, rRNA and lncRNA. Additionally, we used AI-dm1A to specifically demethylate m1A on ATP5D mRNA, which promoted ATP5D expression and enhanced the glycolysis activity of tumor cells. Conversely, by replacing the demethylase ALKBH3 with methyltransferase TRMT61A, we also developed a controllable m1A methylation tool, namely AI-m1A. Finally, we caged ABA by 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl (DMNB) to achieve light-inducible m1A methylation or demethylation on specific transcripts. Collectively, our m1A editing tool enables us to flexibly study how m1A modifications on specific transcript influence biological functions and phenotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional therapist-based rehabilitation training for patients with movement impairment is laborious and expensive. In order to reduce the cost and improve the treatment effect of rehabilitation, many methods based on human-computer interaction (HCI) technology have been proposed, such as robot-assisted therapy and functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, due to the lack of active participation of brain, these methods have limited effects on the promotion of damaged nerve remodeling. NEW METHOD Based on the neurofeedback training provided by the combination of brain-computer interface (BCI) and exoskeleton, this paper proposes a multimodal brain-controlled active rehabilitation system to help improve limb function. The joint control mode of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) and motor imagery (MI) is adopted to achieve self-paced control and thus maximize the degree of brain involvement, and a requirement selection function based on SSVEP design is added to facilitate communication with aphasia patients. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS In addition, the Transformer is introduced as the MI decoder in the asynchronous online BCI to improve the global perception of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and maintain the sensitivity and efficiency of the system. RESULTS In two multi-task online experiments for left hand, right hand, foot and idle states, subject achieves 91.25% and 92.50% best accuracy, respectively. CONCLUSION Compared with previous studies, this paper aims to establish a high-performance and low-latency brain-controlled rehabilitation system, and provide an independent and autonomous control mode of the brain, so as to improve the effect of neural remodeling. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through offline and online experiments.

Abstract
In geotechnical engineering, a large number of pillars are often left in underground space to support the overlying strata and protect the surface environment. To enhance pillar stability and prevent instability, this study proposes an innovative technology for pillar reinforcement. Specifically, local confinement of the pillar is achieved through fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strips, resulting in the formation of a more stable composite structure. In order to validate the effectiveness of this structural approach, acoustic emission characteristics and surface strain field characteristics were monitored during failure processes, while mathematical models were employed to predict specimen instability. The test results revealed that increasing FRP strip confinement width led to heightened activity in acoustic emission events during failure processes, accompanied by a decrease in shear cracks but an increase in tensile cracks. Moreover, ductility was improved and deformation resistance capacity was enhanced within specimens. Notably, initial crack generation occurred within unconfined regions of specimens during failures; however, both length and width as well as overall numbers of cracks significantly decreased due to implementation of FRP strips. Consequently, specimen failure speed was slowed down accordingly. Finally, the instability of the partial FRP-confined cement mortar could be more accurately predicted based on the model of FRP-confined concrete. It was verified by the test results.

Abstract
This study is to investigate the effect of SPS on the UC model. An animal model of UC induced by DSS was developed using C57BL/6 mice. The body weight was recorded every day, and the symptoms related to UC were detected. H&E staining, AB-PAS staining and PSR staining were used to evaluate the histopathological changes of the colon. Inflammation and mucosal barrier indicators were detected by qRT-PCR, and the 16 S rRNA sequence was used to detect the intestinal flora. SPS can significantly prevent and treat DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in animals. SPS significantly improved clinical symptoms, alleviated pathological damage, inhibited the infiltration of intestinal inflammatory cells. SPS treatment can protect goblet cells, enhance the expression of tight junction proteins and mucins, inhibit the expression of antimicrobial peptides, thereby improving intestinal barrier integrity. The prevention and treatment mechanism of SPS may be related to the inhibition of STAT3/NF-κB signaling pathway to regulate intestinal barrier function. In particular, SPS also significantly adjusted the structure of intestinal flora, significantly increasing the abundance of Akkermansia and Limosilactobacillus and inhibiting the abundance of Bacteroides. Overall, SPS has a significant therapeutic effect on ulcerative colitis mice, and is expected to play its value effectively in clinical treatment.

Abstract
The construction of functional three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) for gas separation, specifically for the efficient removal of ethane (C2H6) from ethylene (C2H4), is significant but challenging due to their similar physicochemical properties. In this study, we demonstrate fine-tuning the pore environment of ultramicroporous 3D COFs to achieve efficient one-step C2H4 purification. By choosing our previously reported 3D-TPB-COF-H as a reference material, we rationally design and synthesize an isostructural 3D COF (3D-TPP-COF) containing pyridine units. Impressively, compared with 3D-TPB-COF-H, 3D-TPP-COF exhibits both high C2H6 adsorption capacity (110.4 cm3 g-1 at 293 K and 1 bar) and good C2H6/C2H4 selectivity (1.8), due to the formation of additional C-H···N interactions between pyridine groups and C2H6. To our knowledge, this performance surpasses all other reported COFs and is even comparable to some benchmark porous materials. In addition, dynamic breakthrough experiments reveal that 3D-TPP-COF can be used as a robust absorbent to produce high-purity C2H4 directly from a C2H6/C2H4 mixture. This study provides important guidance for the rational design of 3D COFs for efficient gas separation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of LAG-3 deficiency (LAG3-/-) on natural killer (NK) cell function and hepatic fibrosis in mice infected with Echinococcus multilocularis. METHODS C57BL/6 mice, each weighing (20 ± 2) g, were divided into the LAG3-/- and wild type (WT) groups, and each mouse in both groups was inoculated with 3 000 E. multilocularis protoscoleces via the hepatic portal vein. Mouse liver and spleen specimens were collected 12 weeks post-infection, sectioned and stained with sirius red, and the hepatic lesions and fibrosis were observed. Mouse hepatic and splenic lymphocytes were isolated, and flow cytometry was performed to detect the proportions of hepatic and splenic NK cells, the expression of CD44, CD25 and CD69 molecules on NK cell surface, and the secretion of interferon γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10 and IL-17A. RESULTS Sirius red staining showed widening of inflammatory cell bands and hyperplasia of fibrotic connective tissues around mouse hepatic lesions, as well as increased deposition of collagen fibers in the LAG3-/-group relative to the WT group. Flow cytometry revealed lower proportions of mouse hepatic (6.29% ± 1.06% vs. 11.91% ± 1.85%, P < 0.000 1) and splenic NK cells (4.44% ± 1.22% vs. 5.85% ± 1.10%, P > 0.05) in the LAG3-/- group than in the WT group, and the mean fluorescence intensity of CD44 was higher on the surface of mouse hepatic NK cells in the LAG3-/- group than in the WT group (t = -3.234, P < 0.01), while no significant differences were found in the mean fluorescence intensity of CD25 or CD69 on the surface of mouse hepaticNK cells between the LAG3-/- and WT groups (both P values > 0.05). There were significant differences between the LAG3-/- and WT groups in terms of the percentages of IFN-γ (t = -0.723, P > 0.05), TNF-α (t = -0.659, P > 0.05), IL-4 (t = -0.263, P > 0.05), IL-10 (t = -0.455, P > 0.05) or IL-17A secreted by mouse hepatic NK cells (t = 0.091, P > 0.05), and the percentage of IFN-γ secreted by mouse splenic NK cells was higher in the LAG3-/- group than in the WT group (58.40% ± 1.64% vs. 50.40% ± 4.13%; t = -4.042, P < 0.01); however, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the proportions of TNF-α (t = -1.902, P > 0.05), IL-4 (t = -1.333, P > 0.05), IL-10 (t = -1.356, P > 0.05) or IL-17A secreted by mouse splenic NK cells (t = 0.529, P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS During the course of E. multilocularis infections, LAG3-/- promotes high-level secretion of IFN-γ by splenic NK cells, which may participate in the reversal the immune function of NK cells, resulting in aggravation of hepatic fibrosis.

Abstract
Mpox is a zoonotic disease that was once endemic in Africa countries caused by mpox virus. However, cases recently have been confirmed in many non-endemic countries outside of Africa. The rapidly increasing number of confirmed mpox cases poses a threat to the international community. In-depth studies of key viral factors are urgently needed, which will inform the design of multiple antiviral agents. Mpox virus encodes a unique protein, A41, that is nonessential for viral replication, but could affect the host response to infection via interacting with chemokines. Here, mpox virus A41 protein was expressed in Sf9 cells, and purified by affinity chromatography followed by gel filtration. Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy showed that purified A41 binds a certain human chemokine CXCL8 with the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) being 1.22 × 10-6 M. The crystal structure of mpox virus A41 protein was solved at 1.92 Å. Structural analysis and comparison revealed that mpox virus A41 protein adopts a characteristic β-sheet topology, showing minor differences with that of vaccinia virus. These preliminary structural and functional studies of A41 protein from mpox virus will help us better understand its role in chemokine subversion, and contributing to the knowledge to viral chemokine binding proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE At present, no proven effective treatment is available for Lung Ischemiareperfusion Injury (LIRI). Natural compounds offer promising prospects for developing new drugs to address various diseases. This study sought to explore the potential of Rebaudioside B (Reb B) as a treatment compound for LIRI, both in vivo and in vitro. METHODS This study involved utilizing the human pulmonary alveolar cell line A549, consisting of epithelial type II cells, subjected to Oxygen-glucose Deprivation/recovery (OGD/R) for highthroughput in vitro cell viability screening. The aim was to identify the most promising candidate compounds. Additionally, an in vivo rat model of lung ischemia-reperfusion was employed to evaluate the potential protective effects of Reb B. RESULTS Through high-throughput screening, Reb B emerged as the most promising natural compound among those tested. In the A549 OGD/R models, Reb B exhibited a capacity to enhance cell viability by mitigating apoptosis. In the in vivo LIRI model, pre-treatment with Reb B notably decreased apoptotic cells, perivascular edema, and neutrophil infiltration within lung tissues. Furthermore, Reb B demonstrated its ability to attenuate lung inflammation associated with LIRI primarily by elevating IL-10 levels while reducing levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. CONCLUSION The comprehensive outcomes strongly suggest Reb B's potential as a protective agent against LIRI. This effect is attributed to its inhibition of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and its ability to mitigate the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Nano-MoS2 exhibit oxidoreductase-like activities, and has been shown to effectively eliminate excessive intracellular ROS and inhibit Aβ aggregation, thus demonstrating promising potential for anti-Alzheimer's disease (anti-AD) intervention. However, the low water dispersibility and high toxicity of nano-MoS2 limits its further application. In this study, we developed a chondroitin sulphate (CS)-modified MoS2 nanoenzyme (CS@MoS2) by harnessing the excellent biocompatibility of CS and the exceptional activities of nano-MoS2 to explore its potential in anti-AD research. Promisingly, CS@MoS2 significantly inhibited Aβ1-40 aggregation and prevented toxic injury in SH-SY5Y cells caused by Aβ1-40. In addition, CS@MoS2 protected these cells from oxidative stress damage by regulating ROS production, as well as promoting the activities of SOD and GSH-Px. CS@MoS2 also modulated the intracellular Ca2+ imbalance and downregulated Tau hyperphosphorylation by activating GSK-3β. CS@MoS2 suppressed p-NF-κB (p65) translocation to the nucleus by inhibiting MAPK phosphorylation, and modulated the expression of downstream anti- and proinflammatory cytokines. Owing to its multifunctional activities, CS@MoS2 effectively improved spatial learning, memory, and anxiety in D-gal/AlCl3-induced AD mice. Taken together, these results indicate that CS@MoS2 has significant potential for improving the therapeutic efficacy of the prevention and treatment of AD, while also presenting a novel framework for the application of nanoenzymes.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and characterized by dysregulated immune response. Studies have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein ORF7b induces host cell apoptosis through the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) pathway and blocks the production of interferon beta (IFN-β). The underlying mechanism remains to be investigated. In this study, we found that ORF7b facilitated viral infection and production, and inhibited the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling pathway through selectively interacting with mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS). MAVS439-466 region and MAVS Lys461 were essential for the physical association between MAVS and ORF7b, and the inhibition of the RLR signaling pathway by ORF7b. MAVSK461/K63 ubiquitination was essential for the RLR signaling regulated by the MAVS-ORF7b complex. ORF7b interfered with the recruitment of tumor necrosis factor receptor-related factor 6 (TRAF6) and the activation of the RLR signaling pathway by MAVS. Furthermore, interfering peptides targeting the ORF7b complex reversed the ORF7b-suppressed MAVS-RLR signaling pathway. The most potent interfering peptide V disrupts the formation of ORF7b tetramers, reverses the levels of the ORF7b-inhibited physical association between MAVS and TRAF6, leading to the suppression of viral growth and infection. Overall, this study provides a mechanism for the suppression of innate immunity by SARS-CoV-2 infection and the mechanism-based approach via interfering peptides to potentially prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.IMPORTANCEThe pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and continues to be a threat to public health. It is imperative to understand the biology of SARS-CoV-2 infection and find approaches to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and ameliorate COVID-19. Multiple SARS-CoV-2 proteins are known to function on the innate immune response, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. This study shows that ORF7b inhibits the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling pathway through the physical association between ORF7b and mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS), impairing the K63-linked MAVS polyubiquitination and its recruitment of tumor necrosis factor receptor-related factor 6 (TRAF6) to MAVS. The most potent interfering peptide V targeting the ORF7b-MAVS complex may reverse the suppression of the MAVS-mediated RLR signaling pathway by ORF7b and prevent viral infection and production. This study may provide new insights into the pathogenic mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 and a strategy to develop new drugs to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Background Adequate evaluation of degrees of liver cirrhosis is essential in surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The impact of the degrees of cirrhosis on prediction of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains poorly defined. This study aimed to construct and validate a combined pre- and intra-operative nomogram based on the degrees of cirrhosis in predicting PHLF in HCC patients using prospective multi-center's data. Methods Consecutive HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy between May 18, 2019 and Dec 19, 2020 were enrolled at five tertiary hospitals. Preoperative cirrhotic severity scoring (CSS) and intra-operative direct liver stiffness measurement (DSM) were performed to correlate with the Laennec histopathological grading system. The performances of the pre-operative nomogram and combined pre- and intra-operative nomogram in predicting PHLF were compared with conventional predictive models of PHLF. Results For 327 patients in this study, histopathological studies showed the rates of HCC patients with no, mild, moderate, and severe cirrhosis were 41.9%, 29.1%, 22.9%, and 6.1%, respectively. Either CSS or DSM was closely correlated with histopathological stages of cirrhosis. Thirty-three (10.1%) patients developed PHLF. The 30- and 90-day mortality rates were 0.9%. Multivariate regression analysis showed four pre-operative variables [HBV-DNA level, ICG-R15, prothrombin time (PT), and CSS], and one intra-operative variable (DSM) to be independent risk factors of PHLF. The pre-operative nomogram was constructed based on these four pre-operative variables together with total bilirubin. The combined pre- and intra-operative nomogram was constructed by adding the intra-operative DSM. The pre-operative nomogram was better than the conventional models in predicting PHLF. The prediction was further improved with the combined pre- and intra-operative nomogram. Conclusions The combined pre- and intra-operative nomogram further improved prediction of PHLF when compared with the pre-operative nomogram. Trial Registration Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT04076631.

Abstract
The nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 plays significant roles in viral assembly, immune evasion, and viral stability. Due to its immunogenicity, high expression levels during COVID-19, and conservation across viral strains, it represents an attractive target for antiviral treatment. In this study, we identified and characterized a single-stranded DNA aptamer, N-Apt17, which effectively disrupts the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) mediated by the N protein. To enhance the aptamer's stability, a circular bivalent form, cb-N-Apt17, was designed and evaluated. Our findings demonstrated that cb-N-Apt17 exhibited improved stability, enhanced binding affinity, and superior inhibition of N protein LLPS; thus, it has the potential inhibition ability on viral replication. These results provide valuable evidence supporting the potential of cb-N-Apt17 as a promising candidate for the development of antiviral therapies against COVID-19.IMPORTANCEVariants of SARS-CoV-2 pose a significant challenge to currently available COVID-19 vaccines and therapies due to the rapid epitope changes observed in the viral spike protein. However, the nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2, a highly conserved structural protein, offers promising potential as a target for inhibiting viral replication. The N protein forms complexes with genomic RNA, interacts with other viral structural proteins during virion assembly, and plays a critical role in evading host innate immunity by impairing interferon production during viral infection. In this investigation, we discovered a single-stranded DNA aptamer, designated as N-Apt17, exhibiting remarkable affinity and specificity for the N protein. Notably, N-Apt17 disrupts the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the N protein. To enhance the stability and molecular recognition capabilities of N-Apt17, we designed a circular bivalent DNA aptamer termed cb-N-Apt17. In both in vivo and in vitro experiments, cb-N-Apt17 exhibited increased stability, enhanced binding affinity, and superior LLPS disrupting ability. Thus, our study provides essential proof-of-principle evidence supporting the further development of cb-N-Apt17 as a therapeutic candidate for COVID-19.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of lumbar paraspinal muscle degeneration and postoperative failure to restore ideal Roussouly classification on the occurrence of mechanical complications (MC) following long-segment spinal correction surgery in female patients with degenerative scoliosis (DS). Methods: The clinical data of 72 female DS patients who underwent long-segment spinal correction surgery in Gulou Hospital from June 2017 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether restoring the ideal Roussouly classification after surgery, the patients were divided into R group(recovery group) (n=51) and N group(non-recovery group) (n=21). According to whether mechanical complications occurred after operation within two years, the patients were divided into MC (mechanical complications)group (n=24) and NMC(non-mechanical complications) group (n=48). The RM group (n=14) experienced mechanical complications in the R group, while the RN group (n=37) did not. The NM group (n=10) experienced mechanical complications in the N group, while the NN group (n=11) did not.Radiographic assessment included Sagittal parameters of spine and pelvis, standardized cross-sectional area (SCSA) and fat infiltration rate (FI%) of paraspinal muscle at each lumbar disc level. Results: The age of DS patients in this study was (61.4±6.2) years.The incidence of MC was 33.33%(n=24)in all patients. The incidence of MC was 27.45%(n=14)in group R and 47.62%(n=10) in group N. The correction amount of pelvic tilt angle (PT) (-11.62°±10.06° vs -7.04°±8.45°, P=0.046) and T1 pelvic angle(TPA)(-12.88°±11.23° vs -7.31°±9.55°, P=0.031)during surgery were significantly higher in MC group compared to the NMC group. In group R, the FI% of paraspinal muscles in each lumbar segment of patients with postoperative MC was higher than that in patients without MC (P<0.05). In the R and N groups, there was no significant difference inthe SCSA of the lumbar paravertebral muscles between patients with postoperative MC and those without MC at each level (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the average FI% of lumbar PSM was correlated with the occurrence of MC after spinal fusion in DS patients.The average FI% of lumbar PSM≥22.63% was a risk factors for MC after spinal fusion (P=0.010,OR=1.088, 95%CI:1.020-1.160). Conclusions: Female DS patients with higher degree of preoperative paraspinal muscle degeneration have a higher incidence of postoperative mechanical complications. For these patients,.there is still a higher risk of mechanical complications after surgery even if the ideal Roussouly classification is restored after surgery.
