Abstract
Peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based Fenton-like reactions are promising advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to degrade recalcitrant organic water pollutants. Current research predominantly focuses on augmenting the generation of reactive species (e.g., surface-activated PDS complexes (PDS*) to improve treatment efficiency, but overlooks the potential benefits of enhancing the reactivity of these species. Here, we enhanced PDS* generation and reactivity by incorporating Zn into CuO catalyst lattice, which resulted in 99% degradation of 4-chlorophenol within only 10 min. Zn increased PDS* generation by nearly doubling PDS adsorption while maintaining similar PDS to PDS* conversion efficiency, and induced higher PDS* reactivity than the common catalyst CuO, as indicated by a 4.1-fold larger slope between adsorbed PDS and open circuit potential of a catalytic electrode. Cu-O-Zn formation upshifts the d-band center of Cu sites and lowers the energy barrier for PDS adsorption and sulfate desorption, resulting in enhanced PDS* generation and reactivity. Overall, this study informs strategies to enhance PDS* reactivity and design highly active catalysts for efficient AOPs.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide photosynthesis suffers from insufficient catalytic activity due to the high energy barrier of hydrogen extraction from H2O. Herein, we report that mechanochemically synthesized keto-form anthraquinone covalent organic framework which is able to directly synthesize H2O2 (4784 μmol h-1 g-1 at λ > 400 nm) from oxygen and alkaline water (pH = 13) in the absence of any sacrificial reagents. The strong alkalinity resulted in the formation of OH-(H2O)n clusters in water, which were adsorbed on keto moieties within the framework and then dissociated into O2 and active hydrogen, because the energy barrier of hydrogen extraction was largely lowered. The produced hydrogen reacted with anthraquinone to generate anthrahydroquinone, which was subsequently oxidized by O2 to produce H2O2. This study ultimately sheds light on the importance of hydrogen extraction from H2O for H2O2 photosynthesis and demonstrates that H2O2 synthesis is achievable under alkaline conditions.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalytic activation is effective to eliminate organic pollutants from water, thus the development of low-cost and efficient catalysts is significant in applications. The resource conversion of plastic wastes (PWs) into carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a promising candidate for PMS-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and also a sustainable strategy to realize plastic management and reutilization. Herein, cost-effective PWs-derived N-doped CNTs (N-pCNTs) were synthesized, which displayed efficient activity for PMS activation through an electron transfer pathway (ETP) for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation in high salinity water. The pyrrolic N induced the positively charged surface of N-pCNTs, favoring the electrostatic adsorption of PMS and subsequent generation of active PMS* . A galvanic oxidation process was developed to prove the electron-shuttle dominated ETP for SMX oxidation. Combined with theoretical calculations, the efficiency of ETP was determined by the potential difference between HOMO of SMX and LUMO of N-pCNTs. Such oxidation produced low-toxicity intermediates and resulted in selective degradation of specific sulfonamide antibiotics. This work reveals the feasibility of low-cost N-pCNTs catalysts from PWs serving as an appealing candidate for PMS-AOPs in water remediation, providing a new solution to alleviate environmental issues caused by PWs and also advances the understanding of ETP during PMS activation.

Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of curcumin in improving mouth opening (MO), burning sensation (BS), and tongue protrusion (TP) symptoms in patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). An electronic search up to November 2022 was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, EBSCO, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library databases to identify studies using curcumin in the treatment of OSF with comparison to control groups (drugs previously proven to be effective for OSF treatment) or placebo. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were considered. RevMan 5.3 software was used for the meta-analysis. Thirteen RCTs met the eligibility criteria and were included in the analysis. The results showed no significant improvement in MO (in millimetres) for curcumin when compared to control at 1 month (P = 0.91), 2 months (P = 0.54), 3 months (P = 0.56), or 6 months (P = 0.17) of treatment. There was no significant difference in BS (assessed using a visual analogue scale) between curcumin and control after 1 month (P = 0.05), 2 months (P = 0.64), 3 months (P = 0.13), or 6 months (P = 0.56) of treatment. Compared with the control groups, treatment with curcumin for 1 month (P = 0.32), 2 months (P = 0.07), and 3 months (P = 0.14) did not significantly improve the TP (in millimetres) of patients. The administration of curcumin, whether topically applied or taken orally, did not confer statistically significant improvements in MO, BS, or TP in comparison to the control treatments, among patients with OSF. The results of this meta-analysis showed that compared to placebo, the application of curcumin for 6 months markedly alleviated BS (P < 0.001). Curcumin treatment in OSF reaches a clinically effective range, but more bioavailability-centred outcomes should be reported. Robust multicentre RCTs are warranted to elucidate the efficacy of curcumin in improving specific outcomes like MO, BS, and TP in patients with this condition. Defining the therapeutic role of this natural compound may provide an effective botanical alternative for managing OSF.

Abstract
The medicinal plant Sophora tonkinensis is a characteristic Chinese shrub of karst areas. The arid climate in karst areas produces high-quality S. tonkinensis; however, the mechanisms of drought tolerance are not clear, which restricts sustainable plantings of S. tonkinensis. This study involved a 20-day drought stress experiment with potted S. tonkinensis and threee soil water regimes: control (CK), mild drought (MDT), and severe drought (SDT). Plant morphology, biomass, physiological indicators, alkaloid content, and other changes under drought stress were monitored. The content of soluble sugars and proteins, and activity of antioxidant enzymes in leaves and roots were higher under drought than CK, indicating that S. tonkinensis is tolerant to osmotic stress in early drought stages. Content of matrine and oxymatrine increased gradually with increasing drought duration in the short term. The epidermis of S. tonkinensis leaves have characteristics of desert plants, including upper epidermal waxy layer, lower epidermal villi, and relatively sunken stomata, suggesting that S. tonkinensis has strong drought tolerance. In conclusion, drought stress changed the cell structure of S. tonkinensis, induced antioxidant enzyme activity and increased its resistance to drought.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES China may face new threats to public health due to the increased risk of imported mpox (monkeypox) cases. However, research gaps exist in the acceptance of mpox vaccination and potential associated factors in the Chinese population. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a cross-sectional study targeting community residents in Shenzhen, China, from August 5 to September 7 2022. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information about demographic and health characteristics, mpox-related perceptions, and attitudes towards mpox vaccination. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to detect the factors associated with willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination. RESULTS A total of 2293 community residents were included in the analyses (average age: 34.03, female: 72.6%). Among the participants, 76.9% were aware of mpox, 62.1% were aware of the global mpox outbreak, but only 53.6% had a high knowledge level of mpox. Males had a higher proportion of high knowledge (56.9% vs 52.3%, P<0.05) and a lower proportion of high worry (30.2% vs 45.4%, P<0.05) than females. Approximately 69.1% of the participants were willing to vaccinate against mpox, and 69.6% were willing to recommend mpox vaccination to people around them, in which no gender difference was found. The obstacle reported most among people hesitant to receive vaccination was concerning the safety and side-effects, whereas it changed to be concerning the suitability due to individual health differences among people hesitant to recommend mpox vaccines. Factors associated with the willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination included having a history of influenza vaccination, having a history of COVID-19 vaccination, being aware of the global mpox outbreak, having a high knowledge level of mpox, and having a high level of mpox-related worry. CONCLUSIONS This study identified a moderate willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination among Chinese adults. Without gender differences, willingness to receive and recommend mpox vaccination was significantly associated with mpox-related perceptions, such as awareness, knowledge, and worry. Authoritative and up-to-date information is needed to help the general population improve public confidence in mpox vaccines in China.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), a multifunctional cytokine, plays a pivotal role in synaptic formation, plasticity, and neurovascular unit regulation. This review highlights TGF-β1's potential impact on cognitive function, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative disorders. However, despite the growing body of evidence, a comprehensive understanding of TGF-β1's precise role remains elusive. Further research is essential to unravel the complex mechanisms through which TGF-β1 influences cognitive function and to explore therapeutic avenues for targeting TGF-β1 in neurodegenerative conditions. This investigation sheds light on TGF-β1's contribution to cognitive function and offers prospects for innovative treatments and interventions. This review delves into the intricate relationship between TGF-β1 and cognitive function.

Abstract
Based on a stress process perspective, this study examines how the hukou system and gender intersect to shape the relationship between functional limitations and psychological well-being in older adults. Using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (N = 17,708 at baseline), analyses are carried out with random- and fixed-effects models. Analyses show that an urban hukou benefits the psychological well-being of Chinese older adults by weakening the relationship between functional limitations and depression, and these differences do not vary significantly between men and women. The relationship between functional limitations and life satisfaction does not differ by hukou region. This study shows that China's household registration system provides an important context for the associations between functional limitations and psychological well-being in later life. The hukou system is an important stratifying agent and should be taken into account in the study of stress and aging in a Chinese context.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Re-radiotherapy (re-RT) is the main treatment for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (lrNPC) patients, and commonly led to radiation-induced nasopharyngeal (NP) necrosis, which was lethal but rare study has focused on it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cause and impact of radiation-induced NP necrosis in lrNPC patients who received re-RT. MATERIALS/METHODS Totally 252 lrNPC patients who received re-RT between January 2013 and December 2020 were retrospectively collected. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) no NP necrosis before re-RT; (2) complete medical records, including treatment, clinical and dosimetric information; (3) conventional fractionated radiotherapy. All patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy ± chemotherapy. Radiation-induced NP necrosis was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and/or electronic nasopharyngoscopy. Dosimetric factors of the planning target volume of primary tumor (PTVp) were extracted from the dose-volume histogram (DVH), which was rescaled to an equivalent dose of 2 Gy per fraction (EQD 2 Gy) using a linear quadratic model. Logistic regression was used to identify the independent prognostic factors for generating the nomogram. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 44.63 months (inter-quartile range [IQR], 27.70 - 69.20 months), 47.6% of patients (120/252) occurred radiation-induced NP necrosis, which mostly happened within 1 year post re-RT (median [IQR], 5.83 [3.37 - 11.57] months). The 3-year overall survival was 83.0% vs 39.7% (P<0.001) in lrNPC patients with or without radiation-induced NP necrosis. Except for the fractionated dose, other dosimetric factors of PTVp were not significantly different between two groups, including D98 (dose to 98% of PTVp), D50, D2 and homogeneity index (Table 1). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that continuous variable age (HR [95% CI]: 1.04 [1.02 - 1.07], P = 0.003) and tumor volume (HR [95% CI]: 1.02 [1.01 - 1.03], P<0.001), and fractionated dose > 2.22 Gy (HR [95% CI]: 2.36 [1.32 - 4.21], P = 0.004) were independent factors in predicting radiation-induced NP necrosis, which yielded a C-index of 0.742 (95% CI, 0.682 - 0.803) for OS in the nomogram. CONCLUSION The incidence of radiation-induced NP necrosis was high in lrNPC patients who received re-RT. Patients with older age, larger tumor volume or receiving fractionated dose over 2.22 Gy were more easily to suffer NP necrosis, which need to explore novel treatment strategies to improve patients' survivals.

Abstract
Gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma (GB-NEC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma that arises from the gallbladder. Patients with GB-NEC usually have a poor prognosis. The present study described two cases diagnosed with GB-NEC and reviewed the literature to improve knowledge of GB-NEC. The present study reported on two cases of GB-NEC in male patients aged 65 and 66 years, respectively. Both patients underwent surgical resection. Postoperative pathology confirmed that one case had mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma and the other had large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. In addition, both patients had uneventful recoveries following surgery and received cisplatin-etoposide combination chemotherapy. The present study summarized the two cases and reviewed the literature to improve understanding of GB-NEC. The results revealed that radiological findings of GB-NEC are non-specific. The present study demonstrated that surgical resection was still the most effective therapy and that postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy could markedly improve the prognosis of patients with GB-NEC.

Abstract
Dimethylsulfide (DMS) is the major biosulfur source emitted to the atmosphere with key roles in global sulfur cycling and potentially climate regulation. The main precursor of DMS is thought to be dimethylsulfoniopropionate. However, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a widely distributed and abundant volatile in natural environments, can be methylated to DMS. The microorganisms and the enzymes that convert H2S to DMS, and their importance in global sulfur cycling were unknown. Here we demonstrate that the bacterial MddA enzyme, previously known as a methanethiol S-methyltransferase, could methylate inorganic H2S to DMS. We determine key residues involved in MddA catalysis and propose the mechanism for H2S S-methylation. These results enabled subsequent identification of functional MddA enzymes in abundant haloarchaea and a diverse range of algae, thus expanding the significance of MddA mediated H2S methylation to other domains of life. Furthermore, we provide evidence for H2S S-methylation being a detoxification strategy in microorganisms. The mddA gene was abundant in diverse environments including marine sediments, lake sediments, hydrothermal vents and soils. Thus, the significance of MddA-driven methylation of inorganic H2S to global DMS production and sulfur cycling has likely been considerably underestimated.

Abstract
The synuclein family, consisting of α-, β-, and γ-synuclein, is primarily expressed in neurons. Mutations of α- and β-synuclein have been linked to Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, respectively. Recent studies have shown that synucleins are upregulated in various tumors, including breast, ovarian, meningioma, and melanoma, and high synuclein expression is associated with poor prognosis and drug resistance. We report a novel rearrangement of β-synuclein in a pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) case, where β-synuclein (SNCB) is fused in-frame with ETS variant transcription factor 6 (ETV6), a gene frequently rearranged in acute leukemia including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), and T-ALL. An additional case of β-synuclein rearrangement was identified in a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung through analysis of the public TCGA database. Both rearrangements involve the C-terminal of β-synuclein. Since β-synuclein shares extensive amino acid similarities with α-synuclein and α-synuclein binds to 14-3-3, an important regulator of apoptosis, the rearranged β-synuclein may contribute to tumorigenesis by deregulating apoptosis. In addition, overexpression of synucleins has been shown to increase cell proliferation, suggesting that the rearranged β-synuclein may also deregulate the cell cycle.

Abstract
The investigation of the pyrolysis behaviour of real-world waste plastics (RWWP) and using them as the feedstock to produce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could serve as an effective solution to address the global waste plastics catastrophe. This research aimed to characterize the pyrolysis behaviour of RWWP via thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and fast pyrolysis-TG/mass spectrometry (Py-TG/MS) analyses. Activation energies (131.04 kJ mol-1 -171.04 kJ mol-1) for RWWP pyrolysis were calculated by three methods: Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) method, and Starink method. Py-TG/MS results indicated that the RWWP could be identified as polystyrene (RWWP-1), polyethylene (RWWP-2), polyethylene terephthalate (RWWP-3, 4), and polypropylene (RWWP-5, 6). In addition, RWWP-1, 2, 5, 6 outperform RWWP-3 and 4 as sources of carbon for producing CNTs. The results showed a high carbon yield of 32.21 wt% and a high degree of CNT purity at 93.04%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatment is a reference treatment for acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO). However, no established and specific methods are available for the preoperative screening of patients with ABAO suitable for endovascular treatment. This study explores the potential value of DWI-based radiomics in predicting the functional outcomes of endovascular treatment in ABAO. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with ABAO treated with endovascular treatment from the BASILAR registry (91 patients in the training cohort) and the hospitals in the Northwest of China (31 patients for the external testing cohort) were included in this study. The Mann-Whitney U test, random forests algorithm, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were used to reduce the feature dimension. A machine learning model was developed on the basis of the training cohort to predict the prognosis of endovascular treatment. The performance of the model was evaluated on the independent external testing cohort. RESULTS A subset of radiomics features (n = 6) was used to predict the functional outcomes in patients with ABAO. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the radiomics model were 0.870 and 0.781 in the training cohort and testing cohort, respectively. The accuracy of the radiomics model was 77.4%, with a sensitivity of 78.9%, specificity of 75%, positive predictive value of 83.3%, and negative predictive value of 69.2% in the testing cohort. CONCLUSIONS DWI-based radiomics can predict the prognosis of endovascular treatment in patients with ABAO, hence allowing a potentially better selection of patients who are most likely to benefit from this treatment.

Abstract
High-valent metal-oxo (HVMO) are powerful non-radical reactive species that enhance advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) due to their long half-lives and high selectivity towards recalcitrant water pollutants with electron-donating groups. However, high-valent cobalt-oxo (CoIV=O) generation is challenging in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based AOPs because the high 3d-orbital occupancy of cobalt would disfavor its binding with a terminal oxygen ligand. Herein, we propose a strategy to construct isolated Co sites with unique N1O2 coordination on Mn3O4 surface. The asymmetric N1O2 configuration is able to accept electrons from Co 3d-orbital, resulting in significant electronic delocalization at Co sites for the promoted PMS adsorption, dissociation and subsequent generation of CoIV=O species. CoN1O2/Mn3O4 exhibits high intrinsic activity in PMS activation and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation, highly outperforming its counterpart with CoO3 configuration, carbon-based single-atom catalysts with CoN4 configuration, and commercial cobalt oxides. CoIV=O species effectively oxidize the target contaminants via oxygen atom transfer to produce low-toxicity intermediates. These findings could advance mechanistic understanding of PMS activation at the molecular level and guide the rational design of efficient environmental catalysts.

Solar evaporation has become a promising and sustainable technique for harvesting freshwater from seawater and wastewater. However, the applicability and efficacy of solar evaporation need further improvement to achieve high production closer to theoretical limits in compact systems. A 3D (three-dimensional) hierarchical inverted conical solar evaporation is developed, which consists of a 3D copper foam skeleton cone decorated with micro-/nano-structures functionalized with graphene oxide, fabricated via easy and scalable wet oxidation, impregnation, and drying at room temperature. The proposed configuration empowers high-efficiency solar absorption, continuous liquid film spreading and transport, enhanced interfacial local evaporation, and rapid vapor diffusion through the pores. More notably, the 3D conical evaporator realizes thermal localization at the skeleton interface and allows evaporation to occur along the complete structure with unimpeded liquid and vapor rapid diffusion. The solar-thermal evaporation efficiency under 1-Sun is as high as 93% with a maximum evaporation rate per unit area of 1.71 kg·m-2 ·h-1 . This work highlights the benefits of synergistic cooperation of an easily scalable 3D hierarchical functiomicro-/nano-structured copper foam skeletons and functionalized graphene oxide for high-efficient solar evaporation of interest to numerous applications.

Abstract
Four-nitrogen-coordinated transitional metal (MN4) configurations in single-atom catalysts (SACs) are broadly recognized as the most efficient active sites in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes. However, SACs with a coordination number higher than four are rarely explored, which represents a fundamental missed opportunity for coordination chemistry to boost PMS activation and degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants. We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate here that five-nitrogen-coordinated Mn (MnN5) sites more effectively activate PMS than MnN4 sites, by facilitating the cleavage of the O-O bond into high-valent Mn(IV)-oxo species with nearly 100% selectivity. The high activity of MnN5 was discerned to be due to the formation of higher-spin-state N5Mn(IV)═O species, which enable efficient two-electron transfer from organics to Mn sites through a lower-energy-barrier pathway. Overall, this work demonstrates the importance of high coordination numbers in SACs for efficient PMS activation and informs the design of next-generation environmental catalysts.

Abstract
Background Recent evidence shows that COL3A1 promotes the progression of many types of cancer. The purpose of our study is to explore the correlation between COL3A1 and the prognosis of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and its potential mechanism. Methods We initially screened the differentially expressed gene COL3A1 in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the association between the expression level of COL3A1, prognosis, and the clinical parameters of HNSCC patients was verified. A nomogram was constructed according to the multivariate analysis results. Next, a heatmap of COL3A1 co-expressed genes was constructed in TCGA database. The TargetScan database is used to explore the microRNAs (miRNA) related to COL3A1. The starBase database was used to explore and predict the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that the candidate miRNAs might bind to. Finally, the potential mechanism of action was investigated using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Results COL3A1 expression is elevated in HNSCC tumor tissues, and HNSCC patients with high COL3A1 expression have worse prognostic factors. COL3A1 was positively correlated with the central carbon metabolism-related proteins: epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1), hexokinase 3 (HK3), and phosphofructokinase, platelet (PFKP). The TargetScan database showed that the best candidate miRNA for binding to the three prime untranslated region (3'UTR) end of COL3A1 mRNA was hsa-miR-29b-3p, which was negatively correlated with COL3A1. The starBase database showed that the lncRNA X Inactive Specific Transcript (lncRNA XIST) was the best candidate upstream non-coding RNA for regulating hsa-miR-29b-3p. GSEA showed that COL3A1 may be involved in the poor prognosis of HNSCC by participating in carbon metabolism, glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, and the Wingless-Type MMTV Integration Site Family (Wnt) and vascular endothelial growth factor A-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFA-VEGFR2) pathways. Conclusions Low COL3A1 expression can be employed as a new HNSCC predictive biomarker, and the prognosis of HNSCC patients with lower COL3A1 expression can be greatly improved. At the same time, we found that the lncRNA XIST/miR-29b-3p/COL3A1 axis may regulate the central carbon metabolism of HNSCC and is associated with poor prognosis. These findings point to a potential target for developing HNSCC anticancer therapies.

Abstract
Background Recent evidence shows that CHD4 is involved in a variety of biological events of tumors. Our aim was to investigate the correlation between CHD4 and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods After CHD4 was screened as a differentially expressed gene in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TGCA) database, the correlations of its expression level with the clinical parameters and prognosis of patients with OSCC were analyzed. The outcomes of the multivariate analysis were used to construct a nomogram, and the accuracy of the model was evaluated with the calibration curve. The GeneMANIA and STRING databases were used to generate network diagrams depicting interactions of genes with CHD4, and heat maps of genes co-expressed with CHD4 were generated using the TCGA database. TargetScan was then used to look into the miRNAs that interact with the 3' untranslated region of CHD4 mRNA. Finally, GSEA enrichment analysis was used to explore the possible mechanism. Results The differentially expressed molecule CHD4 was screened by TCGA database for OSCC. CHD4 was overexpressed in OSCC tumor tissues, and OSCC patients with low expression of CHD4 have better OS and DSS. The nomogram had a C-index of 0.575 (0.548-0.602), which indicated some degree of predictive reliability. CHD4 has certain correlation with exons of OSCC related genes, including TP53, NOTCH1, CASP8, PTEN, TP63, ANXA1, CDH1, CTNNB1, GDF15 and EGFR. According to the TargetScan database, hsa-miR-194-5p is the miRNA that regulates CHD4 upstream the most. GSEA analysis showed that CHD4 may participate in the poor prognosis of OSCC by participating in PI3K/AKT pathway, protein adhesion regulation, MAPK pathway, cytokine and inflammatory response regulation, angiogenesis and platelet regulation. Conclusions The decreased expression of CHD4 may indicate a better prognosis in OSCC patients and could serve as a novel predictive biomarker for OSCC. Also, hsa-miR-194-5p was found to contribute to the poor prognosis of OSCC by regulating CHD4 and enhancing tumor anoikis resistance via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings suggest that CHD4 might be a therapeutic target for the effective treatment of OSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been reported to be a major cause of low back pain (LBP). Interleukin (IL)-37 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine of the interleukin-1 family, which exerts salutary physiological effects. In this study, we assessed the protective effect of IL-37 on IDD progression and its underlying mechanisms. METHODS Immunofluorescence (IF) was conducted to measure IL-37 expression in nucleus pulposus tissues. CCK-8 assay and Edu staining were used to examine the vitality of IL-37-treated nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Western blot, qPCR, ELISA as well as immunohistochemistry were used to assess senescence associated secreted phenotype (SASP) factors expression; and NF-κB pathway was evaluated by western blot and IF; while IL-1R8 knock-down by siRNAs was performed to ascertain its significance in the senescence phenotype modulated by IL-37. The therapeutic effect of IL-37 on IDD were evaluated in puncture-induced rat model using X-ray, Hematoxylin-Eosin, Safranin O-Fast Green (SO), and alcian blue staining. RESULTS We found IL-37 expression decreased in the IDD process. In vitro, IL-37 suppressed SASP factors level and senescence phenotype in IL-1β treated NPCs. In vivo, IL-37 alleviated the IDD progression in the puncture-induced rat model. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that IL-37 inhibited IDD progression by downregulating NF-κB pathway activation in NPCs by activating IL-1R8. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that IL-37 delays the IDD development through the IL-1R8/NF-κB pathway, which suggests IL-37 as a promising novel target for IDD therapy.

Abstract
Liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. The present study aimed to evaluate the infiltration of M1-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and explore the role of infiltration of M1-like TAMs in the proliferation and apoptosis evasion of liver cancer cells. Furthermore, the association between M1-like TAM and the efficacy of postoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for patients with liver cancer was investigated. The levels of CD68, human leukocyte antigen-DR and phosphorylated NF-κB (p-)p65 were detected by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Cell cycle analysis, MTT and clonogenic assays were utilized to investigate the proliferation of liver cancer cells. It was indicated that M1-like TAM increased the p-p65/p65 ratio in liver cancer cells and promoted cell proliferation. Furthermore, JSH-23, an inhibitor that prevents p65 from entering the nucleus, decreased the proliferation of liver cancer cells in M1-like TAM-conditioned medium. In addition, M1-like TAM increased the number of liver cancer cells in the S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle and also upregulated the expression levels of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)1, CDK2 and cyclin D1. By contrast, M1-like TAM decreased the expression level of p21. Through these effects, the anti-apoptotic ability of liver cancer cells was enhanced. Of note, JSH-23 reversed these changes related to the cell cycle, anti-apoptotic ability and the expression levels of proteins induced by M1-like TAM in liver cancer cells. In conclusion, the infiltration of M1-like TAM in liver tissue negatively influenced the efficacy of postoperative TACE for patients with liver cancer.

Abstract
In persulfate activation by copper-based catalysts, high-valent copper (Cu(III)) is an overlooked reactive intermediate that contributes to efficient persulfate utilization and organic pollutant removal. However, the mechanisms underlying heterogeneous activation and enhanced persulfate utilization are not fully understood. Here, copper oxide (CuO) nanosheets (synthesized with a facile precipitation method) exhibited high catalytic activity for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation with 100% 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation within 3 min. Evidence for the critical role of surface-associated Cu(III) on PMS activation and 4-CP degradation over a wide pH range (pH 3-10) was obtained using in situ Raman spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and quenching tests. Cu(III) directly oxidized 4-CP and other phenolic pollutants, with rate constants inversely proportional to their ionization potentials. Cu(III) preferentially oxidizes 4-CP rather than react with two PMS molecules to generate one molecule of 1O2, thus minimizing this less efficient PMS utilization pathway. Accordingly, a much higher PMS utilization efficiency (77% of electrons accepted by PMS ascribed to 4-CP mineralization) was obtained with CuO/PMS than with a radical pathway-dominated Co3O4/PMS system (27%) or with the 1O2 pathway-dominated α-MnO2/PMS system (26%). Overall, these results highlight the potential benefits of PMS activation via heterogeneous high-valent copper oxidation and offer mechanistic insight into ultrahigh PMS utilization efficiency for organic pollutant removal.

Abstract
Iron minerals, such as iron oxides and iron oxyhydroxides, are the main influential soil components in catalyzed hydrogen peroxide propagation (CHP). Due to their dual effects on H2O2 activation to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and invalid consumption to produce oxygen, the intrinsic reactivity of iron minerals toward H2O2 decomposition requires comprehensive investigations. Herein, six iron minerals (hematite, magnetite, maghemite, goethite, feroxyhyte, and ferrihydrite) for H2O2 decomposition were investigated by a combination of normalized kinetic rate constants of H2O2 decomposition (NkH2O2), O2 production (NkO2), benzoic acid degradation (NkBA), and hexachloroethane degradation (NkHCA) over the surface area of each mineral. The results indicate H2O2 decomposition over iron minerals is a surface-related heterogeneous process. Hematite and goethite are the most promising minerals for environmental cleanup in terms of ROS production, because their H2O2 utilization efficiency for benzoic acid (BA) degradation (0.138 and 0.024 mol BA/mol H2O2 for hematite and goethite, respectively) are highest among the six iron minerals. Magnetite and maghemite are highly active for both H2O2 decomposition and O2 production at neutral and basic pHs. The presence of organic compounds suppresses O2 production by more than 60%, which favors H2O2 utilization. Ferrihydrite and feroxyhyte are considered as the problematic mineral for CHP due to that the two minerals acquire a high O2 production and negligible ROS generation at all pHs. The results of this study provide new insights to increase the understandings of H2O2-iron mineral systems and guide the application of iron minerals in chemical oxidation technologies.

Abstract
Background Colonization has been reported to play an important role in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infection; however, the extent to which carriers develop clinical CRE infection and related risk factors in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients is unclear. Aim To investigate the frequency of CRE colonization and its contribution to infections in NICU patients. Methods CRE colonization screening and CRE infection surveillance were performed in the NICU in 2017 and 2018. Findings Among 1230 unique NICU patients who were screened for CRE colonization, 144 patients tested positive (11.7%, 144/1230), with 9.2% (110/1197) in the intestinal tract, which was higher than that in the upper respiratory tract (6.6%, 62/945) (P=0.026). Gestational age, low birth weight and prolonged hospitalization were risk factors for CRE colonization (all P<0.001). Diversilab homology monitoring found an overall 17.4% (25/144) risk of infection among patients colonized with CRE. For carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) and carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CR-ECO), the risks were 19.1% (21/110) and 13.8% (4/29), respectively. The independent risk factors for CR-KP clinical infection among CR-KP carriers were receiving mechanical ventilation (odds ratio (OR), 10.177; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.667–38.830; P=0.013), a high level of neonatal nutritional risk assessment (OR, 0.251; 95% CI, 0.072–0.881; P=0.031) and a high neonatal acute physiology II (SNAP-II) score (OR, 0.256; 95% CI, 0.882–1.034; P=0.025). Conclusions The colonization of CRE may increase the incidence of corresponding CRE infection in NICU patients. Receiving mechanical ventilation, malnutrition and critical conditions with high SNAP-II scores were independent risk factors for subsequent CR-KP clinical infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3)-associated autoinflammatory disease (NLRP3-AID) is a rare, heterogeneous disease entity associated with mutations in NLRP3. Biologic therapy for NLRP3-AID yields diverse results. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of Chinese adult patients with NLRP3-AID who were treated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors. METHODS Five patients with NLRP3-AID were diagnosed and treated with TNF-α inhibitors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 2017 and 2020 and were followed up for 6 to 12 months. All patients were systematically studied for treatment outcomes, including clinical manifestations and inflammatory markers. RESULTS All five adult NLRP3-AID patients were Chinese Han, and four patients were males. The mean age at disease onset was 4.2 ± 4.1 years, and the mean time of diagnosis delay was 19.8 ± 6 years. All patients received TNF-α inhibitors with or without methotrexate/prednisone. During follow-up, all patients achieved remarkable clinical remission of skin lesions and polyarthritis and showed improvements in acute-phase reactants, inflammatory cytokines, patient visual analogue scale, physician global assessment and 36-item Short Form (SF-36). CONCLUSIONS Early diagnosis and effective therapy for NLRP3-AID are essential for avoiding irreversible organ damage. TNF-α inhibitors might serve as a therapeutic alternative for patients with NLRP3-AID who have unsatisfactory responses or no access to interleukin-1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Photocatalytic H2O2 production is an innovative on-site H2O2 synthesis method to treat organic pollutants through Fenton-like reactions, avoiding the need and potential liability of H2O2 storage and transportation. Accurate quantification of H2O2 is crucial to explore the mechanism of photocatalytic H2O2 production and optimize reaction parameters. In this work, three common H2O2 quantification methods (i.e., titration with potassium permanganate (KMnO4), and colorimetry with ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) or N,N-diethylp-phenylenediamine-horseradish peroxidase (DPD-POD)) were compared and their susceptibility to interference by seven types of representative organics were considered. Interference mechanisms were explored based on the electron-donating (Egap) and electron-accepting (ELUMO) ability of the present organics. The accuracy of the KMnO4 titration method is greatly compromised by aromatic compounds even at 0.1 mM due to the increased KMnO4 consumption by direct oxidation. The presence of p-benzoquinone that directly reacts with NH4VO3 and DPD compromises these colorimetric methods, especially DPD-POD colorimetry at concentrations as low as 0.1 mM. The DPD-POD method should also be scrutinized in the presence of phenols due to significant disturbance by oxidation byproducts (e.g. hydroquinone inducing immediate color disappearance). A flowchart was generated to provide guidelines for selecting an appropriate H2O2 quantification method for different water matrices treated by Fenton-like reactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the application value of the technique of fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering in the selection of minimally invasive incision for internal fixation of rib fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical data of 55 cases of patients who underwent internal fixation for rib fracture in our hospital from June 2019 to April 2020 were selected. The differences in the accuracy of preset incision, incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative wound drainage, and postoperative pain score between the group with fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering (n=32) and the group with traditional localization method (n=23). RESULTS Compared with traditional localization method, fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering could improve the accuracy of surgical incision, reduce the operation time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative wound drainage, and postoperative pain score (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The application of fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering has obvious effects on the accurate selection of incision of rib fracture internal fixation, and it is an effective method that is worthy of promotion.

Abstract
Potentiation of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis by IgG immunocomplexes (ICs) is generally considered an important pathway leading to cartilage and bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, whether IgG ICs possess pro-osteoclastogenic potential independent of RANKL and inflammatory cytokines is unclear. Here we demonstrate that by fully cross-linking human FcγRIIa (hFcγRIIa) or co-ligating hFcγRIIa and TLR4, IgG ICs alone could drive the differentiation of human blood monocytes into nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1-negative nonclassical osteoclasts (NOCs). Surprisingly, IgG ICs could also overrule RANKL-induced classical osteoclast (COC) differentiation in vitro. In mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, hFcγRIIa-transgenic, but not nontransgenic control, mice suffered from cartilage/bone destruction accompanied by the presence of NFATc1- NOCs lining the eroded cartilage surface in affected joints. Our results not only identify a novel subset of IC-induced NOCs but also provide a possible explanation for the uncoupling of FcγR-mediated cartilage destruction from RANKL-related bone erosion in autoinflammatory arthritis. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR)..

Abstract
Low-temperature biohydrometallurgy is implicated in metal recovery in alpine mining areas, but bioleaching using microbial consortia at temperatures <10°C was scarcely discussed. To this end, a mixed culture was used for chalcopyrite bioleaching at 6°C. The mixed culture resulted in a higher copper leaching rate than the pure culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans strain YL15. High-throughput sequencing technology showed that Acidithiobacillus spp. and Sulfobacillus spp. were the mixed culture's major lineages. Cyclic voltammograms, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy unveiled that the mixed culture enhanced the dissolution reactions, decreased the corrosion potential and increased the corrosion current, and lowered the charge transfer resistance and passivation layer impedance of the chalcopyrite electrode compared with the pure culture. This study revealed the mechanisms via which the mixed culture promoted the chalcopyrite bioleaching.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine on brucellosis and its influence on humoral immune indexes. Methods: In October 2019, 169 cases of brucellosis hospitalized in Tianjin Second People's Hospital were selected as the research objects, and divided into two groups according to the random number method, 84 cases in the integrated treatment group and 85 cases in the western medicine treatment group. The western medicine treatment group was given antibiotics and other routine western medicine support treatment. The integrated treatment group was given traditional Chinese medicine for treatment based on syndrome differentiation, on the basis of western medicine treatment group, and 6 weeks was a course of treatment. The clinical efficacy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were compared between the two groups of patients after treatment, and the changes in humoral immune indexes, biochemical, and liver and kidney functions of the patients before and after treatment were analyzed. Results: The total effective rate was 100.00% (84/84) in the integrated treatment group and 97.65% (83/85) in the western medicine treatment group. The difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . The difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in TCM syndrome scores between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05) , and the TCM syndrome scores after treatment were lower than before treatment (P<0.05) . Among them, the TCM syndrome scores of the integrated treatment group were lower than those of the western medicine treatment group (P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, miRNA-155, C-reactive protein (CRP) , erythrocyte sedimention rate (ESR) , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05) . After treatment, IgG, IgA, IgM, miRNA-155, CRP, ESR, ALT and AST were all lower than before treatment, and C3 and C4 complement levels were higher than before treatment (P<0.05) . Among them, IgG, IgA, IgM, miRNA-155, CRP, ESR, ALT and AST in the integrative treatment group were all lower than the western medicine treatment group, while the C3 and C4 complement levels were higher than the western medicine treatment group (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The treatment of brucellosis with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine can significantly improve the TCM syndrome score and reduce the levels of CRP and ESR. The mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of the patient's humoral immunological indicators.

Abstract
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is a characteristic environmental factor of the deep ocean. However, it remains unclear how piezotolerant bacteria adapt to HHP. Here, we identify a two-step metabolic pathway to cope with HHP stress in a piezotolerant bacterium. Myroides profundi D25T, obtained from a deep-sea sediment, can take up trimethylamine (TMA) through a previously unidentified TMA transporter, TmaT, and oxidize intracellular TMA into trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) by a TMA monooxygenase, MpTmm. The produced TMAO is accumulated in the cell, functioning as a piezolyte, improving both growth and survival at HHP. The function of the TmaT-MpTmm pathway was further confirmed by introducing it into Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis Encoded TmaT-like and MpTmm-like sequences extensively exist in marine metagenomes, and other marine Bacteroidetes bacteria containing genes encoding TmaT-like and MpTmm-like proteins also have improved HHP tolerance in the presence of TMA, implying the universality of this HHP tolerance strategy in marine Bacteroidetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes have seen great advances in human disease control in a minimally invasive manner. This research aimed to explore the function of MSC-derived exosomes in diabetic nephropathy (DN) progression and the molecules involved. METHODS A rat model with DN and rat glomerular mesangial cell (GMC) models treated with high glucose (HG) were established, which were treated with exosomes from adipose-derived-MSCs (adMSCs). The levels of blood glucose, serum creatinine, and urinary protein, the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), kidney weight/body weight, and mesangial hyperplasia and kidney fibrosis in rats were determined. The expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), collagen I (Col. I), fibronectin (FN), Bax and Bcl-2 in HG-treated GMCs was assessed. The microRNA (miRNA) carried by adMSC-exosomes was identified, and the implicated down-stream molecules were analyzed. RESULTS adMSC-derived exosomes decreased levels of blood glucose, serum creatinine, 24-h urinary protein, UACR and kidney weight/body weight, and they suppressed mesangial hyperplasia and kidney fibrosis in DN rats. The exosomes also suppressed levels of IL6, Col. I and FN in HG-treated GMCs and promoted cell apoptosis. miR-125a was at least partially responsible for the above protective events mediated by adMSC-exosomes. miR-125a directly bound to histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), while HDAC1 further regulated endothelin-1 (ET-1) activation. Up-regulation of HDAC1 blocked the functions of adMSC-exosomal miR-125a. CONCLUSION This study suggested that adMSC-derived exosomes inhibit DN progression and alleviate the symptoms by carrying miR-125a, during which HDAC1 and ET-1 were inhibited. This study may provide novel effects into DN treatment.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by an abrupt deterioration of renal function. Formononetin (FOR) protects against cisplatin (CIS)‑induced AKI, and it has various potential pharmacological and biological effects, including anti‑inflammatory, antioxidative and anti‑apoptotic effects. The current study investigated the role of FOR in CIS‑induced AKI. Rats were treated with CIS to establish an AKI model, followed by treatment with FOR. HK‑2 cells were treated with CIS, FOR, GW6471 [a peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor α (PPARα) antagonist], eupatilin (a PPARα agonist) and nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2) small interfering RNA (siNrf2), and cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by MTT and flow cytometry assays. The mRNA and proteins levels of PPARα, Nrf2, heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1) and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) were measured by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting. The results demonstrated that FOR attenuated the histopathological changes, the levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, TNF‑α and IL‑1β, and the MDA content and MPO activity, whereas it enhanced CAT activity in the AKI rat model. Furthermore, FOR and eupatilin promoted cell viability and CAT activity, and increased the levels of PPARα, Nrf2 and HO‑1 and NQO1, but suppressed apoptosis and MPO activity, and reduced the levels of MDA, TNF‑α and IL‑1β in CIS‑treated HK‑2 cells. Notably, the aforementioned effects were reversed by GW6471 treatment or siNrf2 transfection. In conclusion, FOR protects against CIS‑induced AKI via activation of the PPARα/Nrf2/HO‑1/NQO1 pathway.

Abstract
In the process of globalization, customer demand is usually difficult to predict, and product recycling is generally difficult to achieve accurately. It is also urgent to deal with increased inventory while avoiding shortages, with the purpose of reducing supply chain risks. This study analyzes the integrated supply chain decision-making problem in the random product demand and return environment. It proposes a multi-objective optimization model, which is an effective tool to solve the design and planning problems of the global closed-loop supply chain. It consists of a multi-period, single-product and multi-objective mixed integer linear programming model, which can solve some strategic decision problems, including the network structure, entity capacities, flow of products and components, and collection levels, as well as the inventory levels. From the perspective of economic, environmental and social benefits, three objective functions are defined, including maximizing the net present value (NPV) of the system, minimizing the total CO2e emissions of supply chain activities, and maximizing social sustainability indicators. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the advantages of this model, and sensitivity analysis results are provided. The results show that changes in product demand and return rate will have a great impact on economic and social performance.

Abstract
Using first-principles transport calculations, we predict that the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of single-crystal Co_{x}Fe_{1-x} alloys is strongly dependent on the current orientation and alloy concentration. An intrinsic mechanism for AMR is found to arise from the band crossing due to magnetization-dependent symmetry protection. These special k points can be shifted towards or away from the Fermi energy by varying the alloy composition and hence the exchange splitting, thus allowing AMR tunability. The prediction is confirmed by delicate transport measurements, which further reveal a reciprocal relationship of the longitudinal and transverse resistivities along different crystal axes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the function of miRNA-21 and interleukin-6 receptor/Janus Kinase-Signal transducer and activator of transcription (IL-6R/JAK-STAT) pathway in microglia on inflammatory responses after spinal cord injury (SCI). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study first detected respectively the protein level of inflammatory factor inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) by Western blotting after transfection of miR-21 or administration of miR-21 inhibitor in activated microglia cells of rat in vitro. The quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized to detect the expression of IL-6R under two different interventions. Next, we established a model of spinal cord injury in rat and inspected miR-21 and IL-6R in SCI rat by qRT-PCR. In addition, the protein levels of iNOS and TNF-α in SCI rat were detected by Western blotting. MiR-21 inhibitor was injected into the injured area of SCI rat to delve into the function of miR-21 down-expression on iNOS and TNF-α expression by Western blot as well as the RNA levels of IL-6R, JAK and STAT3 by qRT-PCR. Furthermore, the SCI rat with movement and coordination of hindlimbs was observed by Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan locomotor rating scale (BBB scale) after miR-21 down-expression. RESULTS Compared with the microglia transfected with miR-21, the execution of inhibitor in microglia effectively relieved the expression of IL-6R and the breakout of iNOS and TNF-α. Meanwhile, the increase of miR-21 was significantly observed in SCI rat along with significant improvement of inflammatory response-related factors including iNOS and TNF-α. After that, we injected SCI rat with miR-21 inhibitor into the spinal cord injury area and found the inhibition of miR-21 decreased the protein levels of iNOS and TNF-α. Simultaneously, down-expression of miR-21 evidently declined the RNA levels of IL-6R, JAK, and STAT3 in SCI rat. Compared with the sham-operated rat, the movement and coordination of hindlimbs of the SCI group displayed dramatic dysfunction. However, miR-21 down-expression elevated the movement and coordination of hindlimbs of the SCI rat than those of the only injury group. CONCLUSIONS Inhibition of miR-21 can promote the recovery of spinal cord injury by down-regulating IL-6R/JAK-STAT signaling pathway and inhibiting inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Published trials reported that high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (HEEPSWT) can effectively treat early stage femoral head osteonecrosis (ESFHO). However, their results are still inconsistent. Thus, this study will systematically and comprehensively explore the effectiveness and safety of HEEPSWT for ESFHO. METHODS We will retrieve the electronic databases of Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, VIP database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from inception to the present. All randomized controlled trials that focusing on the effectiveness and safety of HEEPSWT for ESFHO will be considered. Two researchers will undertake literature selection, information collection, and risk of bias evaluation separately. If disagreements occur, we will invite a third researcher for consultation and a final decision will be made. Cochrane risk of bias tool, and Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation will be utilized to assess the risk of bias and quality of evidence, respectively. We will perform statistical analysis using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS This study will provide a detailed summary of exist evidence related to the effectiveness and safety of HEEPSWT for ESFHO. CONCLUSION The results of this study synthesize the evidence regarding the HEEPSWT for ESFHO, which may help to guide clinical management in the future.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon materials attract broad interest as catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation toward an efficient, nonradical advanced oxidation process. However, synthesis of N-rich carbocatalysts is challenging because of the thermal instability of desirable nitrogenous species (pyrrolic, pyridinic, and graphitic N). Furthermore, the relative importance of different nitrogenous configurations (and associated activation mechanisms) are unclear. Herein, we report a "coating-pyrolysis" method to synthesize porous 2D N-rich nanocarbon materials (PCN-x) derived from dopamine and g-C3N4 in different weight proportions. PCN-0.5 calcined at 800 °C had the highest surface area (759 m2/g) and unprecedentedly high N content (18.5 at%), and displayed the highest efficiency for 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation via PMS activation. A positive correlation was observed between 4-CP oxidation rates and the total pyridinic and pyrrolic N content. These N dopants serve as Lewis basic sites to facilitate 4-CP adsorption on the PCN surface and subsequent electron-transfer from 4-CP to PMS, mediated by surface-bound complexes (PMS-PCN-0.5). The main degradation products were chlorinated oligomers (mostly dimeric biphenolic compounds), which adsorbed to and deteriorated the carbocatalyst. Overall, this study offers new insights for rational design of nitrogen-enriched carbocatalysts, and advances mechanistic understanding of the critical role of N species during nonradical PMS activation.
