Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are promising tumor treatments mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have the advantages of being minimally invasive. However, the hypoxia of tumor microenvironment and poor target ability often reduce the therapeutic effect. Here we propose a tumor targeted nanoplatform PCN-224@Co3O4-HA for enhanced PDT and synergistic CDT, constructed by hyaluronate-modified Co3O4 nanoparticles decorated metal-organic framework PCN-224. Co3O4 can catalyze the decomposition of highly expressed H2O2 in tumor cells to produce oxygen and alleviate the problem of hypoxia. It can also produce hydroxyl radicals according to the Fenton-like reaction for chemical dynamic therapy, significantly improving the therapeutic effect. The cell survival experiment showed that after in vitro treatment, 4T1 and MCF-7 cancer cells died in a large area under the anaerobic state, while the survival ability of normal cell LO2 was nearly unchanged. This result effectively indicated that PCN-224@Co3O4-HA could effectively relieve tumor hypoxia and improve the effect of PDT and synergistic CDT. Cell uptake experiments showed that PCN-224@Co3O4-HA had good targeting properties and could effectively aggregate in tumor cells. In vivo experiments on mice, PCN-224@Co3O4-HA presented reliable biosafety performance, and can cooperate with PDT and CDT therapy to prevent the growth of tumor.

Abstract
The heart primarily derives its energy through lipid oxidation. In cardiomyocytes, lipids are stored in lipid droplets (LDs) and are utilized in mitochondria, although the structural and functional connections between these two organelles remain largely unknown. In this study, visible evidence have presented indicating that a complex is formed at the mitochondria-LD membrane contact (MLC) site, involving mitochondrion-localized Mfn2 and LD-localized Hsc70. This complex serves to tether mitochondria to LDs, facilitating the transfer of fatty acids (FAs) from LDs to mitochondria for β-oxidation. Reduction of Mfn2 induced by lipid overload inhibits MLC, hinders FA transfer, and results in lipid accumulation. Restoring Mfn2 reinstates MLC, alleviating myocardial lipotoxicity under lipid overload conditions both in-vivo and in-vitro. Additionally, prolonged lipid overload induces Mfn2 degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, following Mfn2 acetylation at the K243 site. This leads to the transition from adaptive lipid utilization to maladaptive lipotoxicity. The experimental findings are supported by clinical data from patients with obesity and age-matched non-obese individuals. These translational results make a significant contribution to the molecular understanding of MLC in the heart, and offer new insights into its role in myocardial lipotoxicity.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The accuracy of virtual dentofacial patients has been explored, but the accuracy of virtual patients established by using a straightforward and reliable method and the accuracy of different virtual patients are unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the accuracy of virtual dentofacial patients digitized by using registered-block impression, exposed anterior teeth, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction methods based on 3-dimensional (3D) facial and dental images. MATERIAL AND METHODS From the 15 selected participants who needed CBCT scanning, 3 kinds of virtual dentofacial patients were established by using 3 registration methods based on digital dental casts: 3D facial images, CBCT data, and registered-block impression. Compared with actual measurement, 25 linear distances of all virtual dentofacial patients were selected and measured by using a software program, and 3 separate measurements were calculated by the same person. The 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the deviations among 3 kinds of virtual dentofacial patients (trueness) and the deviations within groups (precision). The 1-sample t test was used to compare the difference between the deviation and the ideal error of 0.00 (α=.05). RESULTS Compared with the actual measurement, the trueness of the average deviations for registered-block impression (1.02 ±1.24 mm) was better than that of exposed anterior teeth (2.35 ±1.71 mm) and CBCT reconstruction (2.86 ±1.61 mm). The precision of the average deviations for registered-block impression (1.29 ±1.43 mm) was better than that of exposed anterior teeth (2.00 ±1.72 mm) and CBCT reconstruction (2.12 ±1.94 mm). Significant differences in trueness and precision were found among the 3 groups of virtual dentofacial patients (P<.01). Significant differences among the deviations of all linear distances and the ideal error of 0.00 were observed for all groups of virtual dentofacial patients (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of registered-block impression was better than that of the exposed anterior teeth and CBCT reconstruction. The accuracy of exposed anterior teeth was lower than that of the other methods but could satisfy the requirements of clinical diagnostics and scientific methods. The accuracy of CBCT reconstruction was poor and could only be used for special situations that permitted low accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safely implementing transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) requires accurate navigation. Traditional fluoroscopy falls short in reducing the risk of post-procedure pneumothorax. The potential of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) as a more precise navigation method warrants further exploration. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted on ILD patients undergoing TBLC. Patients were assigned either fluoroscopy or ENB for cryoprobe positioning. Navigation accuracy was evaluated using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images as the standard. Safety and diagnostic yield were also observed. RESULTS Seventeen patients underwent TBLC, with 10 guided by fluoroscopy and seven by ENB. Fluoroscopy-guided cryoprobe navigation required more adjustments [9/15 (60%) v.s. 1/9 (11%), p = 0.018] for subsequent TBLC compared to ENB, as confirmed by CBCT images. Clinical characteristics, post-procedure complications, and biopsy specimen size showed no significant differences between the groups. Fourteen patients obtained a pathological diagnosis, and 15 received a multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) diagnosis. In the fluoroscopy group, three patients failed to obtain a pathological diagnosis, and two failed to obtain an MDD diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS ENB demonstrates significantly superior accuracy in TBLC navigation compared to traditional fluoroscopy when CBCT images are used as a reference. Further studies are necessary to determine the value of ENB in TBLC navigation for ILD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the relative growth rates (RGRs) of the maxilla and mandible at varying fusion stages of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS), thereby elucidating the potential of SOS stages in predicting maxillomandibular growth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 320 subjects (171 boys and 149 girls), aged 6 to 18 years, were retrospectively included. Each subject had a minimum of two longitudinal cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, with no more than one interval of SOS fusion stage change between the two scans. Subjects were categorized based on their SOS fusion stages and genders. The RGRs of the maxilla and mandible at various SOS fusion stages were measured and compared using longitudinal CBCT images. RESULTS Significant statistical differences were observed in maxillomandibular RGRs across various SOS fusion stages. In girls, the sagittal growth of the maxilla remained stable and active until SOS 3, subsequently exhibited deceleration in SOS 4-5 (compared to SOS 3-4, P < .05) and continued to decrease in SOS 5-6. Whereas in boys, the sagittal growth of the maxilla remained stable until SOS 4, and a deceleration trend emerged starting from SOS 5 to 6 (P < .01 compared to SOS 4-5). Mandibular growth patterns in both genders exhibited a progression of increasing-accelerating-decelerating rates from SOS 2 to 6. The highest RGRs for total mandibular length were observed in SOS 3-4 and SOS 4-5. CONCLUSION Spheno-occipital synchondrosis fusion stages can serve as a valid indicator of maxillomandibular growth maturation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess lung deformation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using with elastic registration algorithm applied to three-dimensional ultrashort echo time (3D-UTE) MRI and analyze relationship of lung deformation with the severity of IPF. METHODS Seventy-six patients with IPF (mean age: 62 ± 6 years) and 62 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (mean age: 58 ± 4 years) were prospectively enrolled. End-inspiration and end-expiration images acquired with a single breath-hold 3D-UTE sequence were registered using elastic registration algorithm. Jacobian determinants were calculated from deformation fields and represented on color maps. Jac-mean (absolute value of the log means of Jacobian determinants) and the Dice similarity coefficient (Dice) were compared between different groups. RESULTS Compared with healthy controls, the Jac-mean of IPF patients significantly decreased (0.21 ± 0.08 vs. 0.27 ± 0. 07, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the Jac-mean and Dice correlated with the metrics of pulmonary function tests and the composite physiological index. The lung deformation in IPF patients with dyspnea Medical Research Council (MRC) ≥ 3 (Jac-mean: 0.16 ± 0.03; Dice: 0.06 ± 0.02) was significantly lower than MRC1 (Jac-mean: 0. 25 ± 0.03, p < 0.001; Dice: 0.10 ± 0.01, p < 0.001) and MRC 2 (Jac-mean: 0.22 ± 0.11, p = 0.001; Dice: 0.08 ± 0.03, p = 0.006). Meanwhile, Jac-mean and Dice correlated with health-related quality of life, 6 min-walk distance, and the extent of pulmonary fibrosis. Jac-mean correlated with pulmonary vascular-related indexes on high-resolution CT. CONCLUSION The decreased lung deformation in IPF patients correlated with the clinical severity of IPF patients. Elastic registration of inspiratory-to-expiratory 3D UTE MRI may be a new morphological and functional marker for non-radiation and noninvasive evaluation of IPF. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This prospective study demonstrated that lung deformation decreased in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients and correlated with the severity of IPF. Elastic registration of inspiratory-to-expiratory three-dimensional ultrashort echo time (3D UTE) MRI may be a new morphological and functional marker for non-radiation and noninvasive evaluation of IPF. KEY POINTS • Elastic registration of inspiratory-to-expiratory three-dimensional ultrashort echo time (3D UTE) MRI could evaluate lung deformation. • Lung deformation significantly decreased in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients, compared with the healthy controls. • Reduced lung deformation of IPF patients correlated with worsened pulmonary function and the composite physiological index (CPI).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac hypertrophy is studied in relation to energy metabolism, autophagy, and ferroptosis, which are associated with cardiovascular adverse events and chronic heart failure. Protein kinase D (PKD) has been shown to play a degenerative role in cardiac hypertrophy. However, the role of ferroptosis in PKD-involved cardiac hypertrophy remains unclear. METHODS A cardiac hypertrophy model was induced by a subcutaneous injection of angiotensin II (Ang II) for 4 weeks. Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-PKD or AAV9-Negative control were injected through the caudal vein 2 weeks prior to the injection of Ang II. The degree of cardiac hypertrophy was assessed using echocardiography and by observing cardiomyocyte morphology. Levels of ferroptosis and protein expression in the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/P53 signaling pathway were measured both in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS The results indicated that PKD knockdown reduces Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy, enhances cardiac function and inhibits ferroptosis. The involvement of the JNK/P53 pathway in this process was further confirmed by in vivo and in vitro experiments. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our findings suggest that PKD knockdown mitigates Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy and ferroptosis via the JNK/P53 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of fibrosis is a criterion for subtype classification in the newly updated hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) guidelines. The present study aimed to summarize differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis of non-fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (NFHP) and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP) and explore factors associated with the presence of fibrosis. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with HP through a multidisciplinary discussion were enrolled. Collected data included demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and radiologic and histopathological features. Logistic regression analyses were performed to explore factors related to the presence of fibrosis. RESULTS A total of 202 patients with HP were enrolled, including 87 (43.1%) NFHP patients and 115 (56.9%) FHP patients. Patients with FHP were older and more frequently presented with dyspnea, crackles, and digital clubbing than patients with NFHP. Serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 125, carbohydrate antigen 153, gastrin-releasing peptide precursor, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, and antigen cytokeratin 21-1, and count of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) eosinophils were higher in the FHP group than in the NFHP group. BAL lymphocytosis was present in both groups, but less pronounced in the FHP group. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that older age, <20% of lymphocyte in BAL, and ≥1.75% of eosinophil in BAL were risk factors for the development of FHP. Twelve patients developed adverse outcomes, with a median survival time of 12.5 months, all of whom had FHP. CONCLUSIONS Older age, <20% of lymphocyte in BAL, and ≥1.75% of eosinophil in BAL were risk factors associated with the development of FHP. Prognosis of patients with NFHP was better than that of patients with FHP. These results may provide insights into the mechanisms of fibrosis in HP.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Transthyretincardiac amyloidosis is a rare disease that has gained significant attention in recent years because of misfolding of transthyretin fibrils produced by the liver, leading to their deposition in the myocardium. The disease has an insidious onset, nonspecific clinical manifestations, and historically lacked effective drugs, making early diagnosis and treatment challenging. The survival time of patients largely depends on the extent of heart involvement at the time of diagnosis, and conventional treatments for cardiovascular disease do not provide significant benefits. Effective management of the disease requires treatment of its underlying cause. Orthotopic liver transplantation and combined hepato-heart transplantation have been clinically effective means of treating transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis mutants for many years. However, transplantation has many limitations in clinical practice. In recent years, the development of new drugs has brought new hope to patients. This review presents the latest advances in drug development and clinical application to provide a reference for clinicians managing transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) combined with positive lateral pelvic lymph nodes (LPLN) tends to present worse prognosis. However, for those patients it remains unclear whether other combination high-risk factors affect the prognosis. This study aimed to use propensity score matching (PSM) to examine long-term outcomes and failure patterns in patients with positive vs. negative LPLN. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with LARC were retrospectively divided into LPLN-positive and LPLN-negative groups. LPLN-positivity was defined as lymph node short diameter greater than or equal to 7 mm with specific morphological features. Clinical characteristics were compared between the groups using the chi-square test. PSM was applied to balance these differences. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and local-regional recurrence (LRR) and distant metastasis (DM) rates were compared between the groups using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests. RESULTS Prior to PSM, a total of 651 LARC patients were included. The LPLN-positive group had higher rates of lower location (53.1% vs. 43.0%, P = 0.025), mesorectal fascia (MRF)-positive (53.9% vs. 35.4%, P<0.001) and extramural venous invasion (EMVI)-positive (51.2% vs. 27.2%, P<0.001) disease than the LPLN-negative group. After PSM, there were 114 patients for each group along with the balanced clinical factors, and both groups had comparable surgery, pathologic complete response (pCR), and ypN stage rates. The median follow-up time was 45.9 months, 3-year OS (88.3% vs. 92.1%, P = 0.276) and LRR (5.7% vs. 2.8%, P = 0.172) rates were comparable between LPLN-positive and LPLN-negative groups. Meanwhile, despite no statistical difference, 3-year PFS (78.8% vs. 85.9%, P = 0.065) and DM (20.4% vs. 13.3%, P = 0.061) rates slightly differed between the groups. Among 10 patients with LRR, seven (70.0%) had lateral pelvic recurrence, among them, five patients were LPLN-positive, and four (80.0%) of these patients did not receive simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB- IMRT).45 patients were diagnosed with DM, 11 (40.7%) LPLN-positive and 3 (17.6%) LPLN-negative patients were diagnosed with oligometastases (P = 0.109). CONCLUSION Our study shows there is a tendency of worse PFS and DM in LPLN-positive than LPLN-negative patients, for LPLN-positive patients, oligometastases account for a large proportion of all distant metastases.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) This study evaluated the feasibilities and outcomes following four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4D-MRI) guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). MATERIALS/METHODS From March 2018 to January 2022, we identified 76 unresectable CRLM patients with 123 lesions who received 4D-MRI guided SBRT in our institution. 4D-MRI simulation with or without abdominal compression was conducted for all patients. The prescription dose was 50-65 Gy in 5-12 fractions. The image quality of computed tomography (CT) and MRI were compared using the Clarity Score. Clinical outcomes and toxicity profiles were evaluated. RESULTS The 4D-MRI significantly improved the image quality compared with CT images (mean Clarity Score: 1.67 vs 2.88, P < 0.001). The abdominal compression significantly reduced motions in cranial-caudal direction (P = 0.03) with 2 phase T2 weighted images assessing tumor motion. The median follow-up time was 12.5 months. For 98 lesions assessed for best response, the complete response, partial response and stable disease rate were 57.1 %, 30.6 % and 12.2 %, respectively. The local control (LC) rate at 2 year was 97.3%. 46.1% of patients experienced grade 1-2 toxicities and only 2.6% patients experienced grade 3 hematologic toxicities. CONCLUSION The 4D-MRI technique allowed precise target delineation and motion tracking in unresectable CRLM patients. High LC rate and mild toxicities were achieved. This study provided evidence for using 4D-MRI guided SBRT as an alternative treatment in unresectable CRLM.

Abstract
PURPOSE To quantitatively analyze lung elasticity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using elastic registration based on 3-dimensional pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging (3D-PMRI) and to assess its' correlations with the severity of IPF patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty male patients with IPF (mean age: 62±6 y) and 30 age-matched male healthy controls (mean age: 62±6 y) were prospectively enrolled. 3D-PMRI was acquired with a 3-dimensional ultrashort echo time sequence in end-inspiration and end-expiration. MR images were registered from end-inspiration to end-expiration with the elastic registration algorithm. Jacobian determinants were calculated from deformation fields on color maps. The log means of the Jacobian determinants (Jac-mean) and Dice similarity coefficient were used to describe lung elasticity between 2 groups. Then, the correlation of lung elasticity with dyspnea Medical Research Council (MRC) score, exercise tolerance, health-related quality of life, lung function, and the extent of pulmonary fibrosis on chest computed tomography were analyzed. RESULTS The Jac-mean of IPF patients (-0.19, [IQR: -0.22, -0.15]) decreased (absolute value), compared with healthy controls (-0.28, [IQR: -0.31, -0.24], P<0.001). The lung elasticity in IPF patients with dyspnea MRC≥3 (Jac-mean: -0.15; Dice: 0.06) was significantly lower than MRC 1 (Jac-mean: -0.22, P=0.001; Dice: 0.10, P=0.001) and MRC 2 (Jac-mean: -0.21, P=0.007; Dice: 0.09, P<0.001). In addition, the Jac-mean negatively correlated with forced vital capacity % (r=-0.487, P<0.001), forced expiratory volume 1% (r=-0.413, P=0.004), TLC% (r=-0.488, P<0.001), diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide % predicted (r=-0.555, P<0.001), 6-minute walk distance (r=-0.441, P=0.030) and positively correlated with respiratory symptoms (r=0.430, P=0.042). Meanwhile, the Dice similarity coefficient positively correlated with forced vital capacity % (r=0.577, P=0.004), forced expiratory volume 1% (r=0.526, P=0.012), diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide % predicted (r=0.435, P=0.048), 6-minute walk distance (r=0.473, P=0.016), final peripheral oxygen saturation (r=0.534, P=0.004), the extent of fibrosis on chest computed tomography (r=-0.421, P=0.021) and negatively correlated with activity (r=-0.431, P=0.048). CONCLUSION Lung elasticity decreased in IPF patients and correlated with dyspnea, exercise tolerance, health-related quality of life, lung function, and the extent of pulmonary fibrosis. The lung elasticity based on elastic registration of 3D-PMRI may be a new nonradiation imaging biomarker for quantitative evaluation of the severity of IPF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The GAP model was widely used as a simple risk "screening" method for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). OBJECTIVES We sought to validate the GAP model in Chinese patients with IPF to evaluate whether it can accurately predict the risk for mortality. METHODS A total of 212 patients with IPF diagnosed at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from 2015 to 2019 were enrolled. The latest follow-up ended in September 2022. Cumulative mortality of each GAP stage was calculated and compared based on Fine-Gray models for survival, and lung transplantation was treated as a competing risk. The performance of the model was evaluated in terms of both discrimination and calibration. RESULTS The cumulative mortality in patients with GAP stage III was significantly higher than that in those with GAP stage I or II (Gray's test p < 0.0001). The Harrell c-index for the GAP calculator was 0.736 (95% CI: 0.667-0.864). The discrimination for the GAP staging system were similar with that for the GAP calculator. The GAP model overestimated the mortality rate at 1- and 2-year in patients classified as GAP stage I (6.90% vs. 1.77% for 1-year, 14.20% vs. 6.78% for 2-year). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that the GAP model overestimated the mortality rate in mild group.

Abstract
In an era of rapid industrial development, such that the demand for energy is increasing daily, lithium-ion batteries are playing a dominant role in energy storage devices due to their high safety and low cost. However, it is still a challenge for the preparation of advanced cathodes, which can determine the battery performance, with stable structures and fast diffusion of Li+. This is especially the case for lithium iron phosphate (LFP), a cathode material with severe limitations due to its low conductive efficiency. To improve its conductivity, LFP was compounded with defect-modified V2O5to prepare LFP/V/C materials with excellent electrochemical properties, which exhibited an initial capacity of 138.85 mAh g-1and 95% retention after 500 charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 5 C. Also, the effect of defects on ionic diffusion was discussed in detail by means of density function theor (DFT) calculations, confirming that the improvement of electrochemical performance is closely related to the introduction of hybrid conductive layers of surface cladding.

Abstract
Personalized education has been a widely shared goal pursued by Chinese and foreign educators. As the primary method of teacher-student interaction, the importance of personalized questioning is self-evident. Due to a lack of technical support, teachers rely on their teaching experience to ask questions without considering the learning situation of learners. This results in teaching questioning being unable to support learners' learning. These questions are relatively shallow and cannot promote the construction and transfer of learners' knowledge. Cognitive diagnostic technology could diagnose learners' cognitive states and provide services for personalized teaching. Therefore, a personalized teaching questioning strategy based on learners' cognitive structure diagnosis was proposed in this study. Firstly, we diagnosed learners' cognitive structure through usability, distinguishability, and stability. Secondly, we discussed the types of questions that teachers should raise when facing learners in different situations. We also discussed the application of personalized teaching questioning strategies. The experiment took place at M Primary School in Ningxia, China, with the participation of one teacher and ninety-seven fourth-grade students. Seven lessons were observed and videotaped across a range of topics. The study revealed that personalized teaching questioning strategies could improve learners' academic performance and subject literacy. They can also increase the number of teacher questioning, change the depth of teacher questioning content, and expand the scope of questioning subjects.

Abstract
Purpose HOX cluster-embedded long noncoding RNAs (HOX-lncRNAs) have been shown to be tightly related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the potential biological roles and underlying molecular mechanism of HOX-lncRNAs in HCC largely remains to be elucidated. Methods The expression signature of eighteen HOX-lncRNAs in HCC cell lines were measured by qRT-PCR. HOXD-AS2 expression and its clinical significance in HCC was investigated by bioinformatics analysis utilizing the TCGA data. Subcellular localization of HOXD-AS2 in HCC cells was observed by RNA-FISH. Loss‑of‑function experiments in vitro and in vivo were conducted to probe the roles of HOXD-AS2 in HCC. Potential HOXD-AS2-controlled genes and signaling pathways were revealed by RNA-seq. Rescue experiments were performed to validate that SMYD3 mediates HOXD-AS2 promoting HCC progression. The positive feedback loop of HOXD-AS2 and SMYD3 was identified by luciferase reporter assay and ChIP-qPCR. Results HOXD-AS2 was dramatically elevated in HCC, and its up-regulation exhibited a positive association with aggressive clinical features (T stage, pathologic stage, histologic grade, AFP level, and vascular invasion) and unfavorable prognosis of HCC patients. HOXD-AS2 was distributed both in the nucleus and the cytoplasm of HCC cells. Knockdown of HOXD-AS2 restrained the proliferation, migration, invasion of HCC cells in vitro, as well as tumor growth in subcutaneous mouse model. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated that SMYD3 expression and activity of MEK/ERK pathway were impaired by silencing HOXD-AS2 in HCC cells. Rescue experiments revealed that SMYD3 as downstream target mediated oncogenic functions of HOXD-AS2 in HCC cells through altering the expression of cyclin B1, cyclin E1, MMP2 as well as the activity of MEK/ERK pathway. Additionally, HOXD-AS2 was uncovered to be positively regulated at transcriptional level by its downstream gene of SMYD3. Conclusion HOXD-AS2, a novel oncogenic HOX-lncRNA, facilitates HCC progression by forming a positive feedback loop with SMYD3 and activating the MEK/ERK pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease, of which the most common complication is interstitial lung disease (ILD). This study aimed to analyze the clinical value of Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 153(CA153) in patients with pSS complicated with ILD (pSS-ILD), given that only few studies have evaluated this. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study. Serum KL-6 levels (U/mL) were measured using chemiluminescence immunoassay, and concentrations of serum tumor markers were determined using the immunofluorescence method in 64 cases of pSS-ILD (pSS-ILD group), 23 cases without ILD (non-ILD group), and 45 healthy controls. The correlation between KL-6 and tumor markers as well as lung function was analyzed, and the factors that were associated with pSS-ILD were screened. RESULTS The serum KL-6 was more abnormally increased in patients with pSS-ILD, and the serum KL-6, CEA, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and CA153 levels were significantly higher in the pSS-ILD group than in the non-ILD and healthy control groups (p < 0.05). KL-6, CEA, and CA153 were negatively correlated with forced vital capacity (FVC%), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1%), total lung capacity (TLC%), and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO%) (all p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that KL-6 was an independent factor associated with pSS-ILD. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we evaluated the association between clinical values of KL-6, tumor markers, and pSS-ILD, and found that KL-6 and tumor markers such as CEA, CA153, and CA125 in patients with pSS-ILD were higher than in patients with non-ILD, and KL-6 was more abnormally increased and significantly associated with ILD development in patients with pSS.

Abstract
Background Coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP) is a chronic occupational disease mainly caused by coal dust inhalation in miners. This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of Osteopontin (OPN), KL-6, Syndecan-4 and Gremlin-1 as serum biomarkers in CWP. Patients and Methods We integrated reported lung tissues transcriptome data in pneumoconiosis patients with silica-exposed alveolar macrophage microarray data to identify four CWP-associated serum biomarkers. The serum concentrations of Osteopontin, Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), Syndecan-4 and Gremlin-1 were measured in 100 healthy controls (HCs), 100 dust-exposed workers (DEWs) and 200 patients of CWP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the sensitivity, specificity, cut-off value and area under the curve (AUC) value of biomarkers. Results The pulmonary function parameters decreased sequentially, and the serum OPN, KL-6, Syndecan-4 and Gremlin-1 concentrations were increased sequentially among the HC, DEW and CWP groups. Among all participants, multivariable analysis revealed that these four biomarkers were negatively correlated with the pulmonary function parameters (all p<0.05). Compared with HCs, patients with higher OPN, KL-6, Syndecan-4 and Gremlin-1 had higher risk for CWP. The combination of OPN, KL-6, and Syndecan-4 can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of CWP patients differentiated from HCs or DEWs. Conclusion OPN, KL-6 and Syndecan-4 are novel biomarkers that can be used for CWP auxiliary diagnosis. The combination of three biomarkers can improve the diagnostic values of CWP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We propose a novel region- level self-supervised contrastive learning method USRegCon (ultrastructural region contrast) based on the semantic similarity of ultrastructures to improve the performance of the model for glomerular ultrastructure segmentation on electron microscope images. METHODS USRegCon used a large amount of unlabeled data for pre- training of the model in 3 steps: (1) The model encoded and decoded the ultrastructural information in the image and adaptively divided the image into multiple regions based on the semantic similarity of the ultrastructures; (2) Based on the divided regions, the first-order grayscale region representations and deep semantic region representations of each region were extracted by region pooling operation; (3) For the first-order grayscale region representations, a grayscale loss function was proposed to minimize the grayscale difference within regions and maximize the difference between regions. For deep semantic region representations, a semantic loss function was introduced to maximize the similarity of positive region pairs and the difference of negative region pairs in the representation space. These two loss functions were jointly used for pre-training of the model. RESULTS In the segmentation task for 3 ultrastructures of the glomerular filtration barrier based on the private dataset GlomEM, USRegCon achieved promising segmentation results for basement membrane, endothelial cells, and podocytes, with Dice coefficients of (85.69 ± 0.13)%, (74.59 ± 0.13)%, and (78.57 ± 0.16)%, respectively, demonstrating a good performance of the model superior to many existing image-level, pixel-level, and region-level self-supervised contrastive learning methods and close to the fully- supervised pre-training method based on the large- scale labeled dataset ImageNet. CONCLUSION USRegCon facilitates the model to learn beneficial region representations from large amounts of unlabeled data to overcome the scarcity of labeled data and improves the deep model performance for glomerular ultrastructure recognition and boundary segmentation.

Abstract
Traditional treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still lack effectiveness. Recently, the combined mode of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) has shown great potential against HCC. However, insufficient Fenton reaction rates and hyperthermia-induced heat shock responses greatly impair their efficiency, hindering their further clinical application. Here, we constructed a cascade-amplified PTT/CDT nanoplatform by coating an IR780-embedded red blood cell membrane on glucose oxidase (GOx)-loaded Fe3O4 nanoparticles for effective HCC treatment. On the one hand, the nanoplatform interfered with glucose metabolism through the action of GOx to reduce the synthesis of ATP, which reduced the expression of heat shock proteins, thereby sensitizing the IR780-mediated PTT. On the other hand, hydrogen peroxide generated during GOx catalysis and the thermal effect of PTT accelerated the Fe3O4-mediated Fenton reaction, realizing enhanced CDT. Consequently, the sensitized PTT and enhanced CDT for HCC management could be simultaneously achieved by interfering with glucose metabolism, providing an alternative strategy for the effective treatment of tumors.

Abstract
As a lithium-ion battery cathode material with high theoretical capacity, the application of V2O5is limited by its unstable structure and low intrinsic conductivity. In this paper, we report a Fe doped V2O5nanowire with a layered structure of 200-300 nm diameter prepared by electrostatic spinning technique. The 3Fe-V2O5electrode exhibited a superb capacity of 436.9 mAh g-1in the first cycle when tested in the voltage range of 2.0-4.0 V at current density of 100 mA g-1, far exceeding its theoretical capacity (294 mAh g-1), and the high capacity of 312 mAh g-1was still maintained after 50 cycles. The superb performance is mainly attributed to its unique layered nanowire structure and the enhanced electrical conductivity as well as optimized structure brought by Fe-doping. This work made the homogeneous doping and nanosizing of the material easily achieved through electrostatic spinning technology, leading to an increase in the initial capacity of the V2O5cathode material and the cycling stability compared to the pure V2O5, which is an extremely meaningful exploration.

Abstract
Right atrial (RA) structural and functional evaluations have recently emerged as powerful biomarkers for adverse events in various cardiovascular conditions. Quantitative analysis of the right atrium, usually performed with volume changes or speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE), has markedly changed our understanding of RA function and remodeling. Knowledge of reference echocardiographic values and measurement methods of RA volumes and myocardial function is a prerequisite to introduce RA quantitation in the clinical routine. This review describes the methodology, benefits and pitfalls of measuring RA size and function by echocardiography based on the current understanding of right atrial anatomy and physiological function and provides the current knowledge of right atrial function in related cardiac diseases.

Abstract
The current global issue of antibiotic resistance is serious, and there is an urgent requirement of developing novel antibiotics. Octapeptins have recently regained interest because of their activities against resistant Gram-negative bacteria. We synthesized four natural octapeptins and 33 derivatives with diverse polarity, amphiphilicity, and acid-base properties by solid-phase synthesis and investigated their in vitro antibacterial activity and renal cytotoxicity. We also assessed the structure-activity relationship and structure-toxicity relationship of the cyclic lipopeptide compounds. Some compounds showed increased activity against Gram-negative and/or Gram-positive bacteria, with improved renal cytotoxicity. C-02 showed remarkable in vitro antibacterial activity and low renal cytotoxicity. We found that C-02 showed high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli in vivo and manifested its effects preliminarily by increasing outer membrane permeability. Therefore, C-02 might be a new antibiotic lead compound with not only high efficacy but also low renal cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The development of efficient electrocatalysts to generate key *NH2 and *CO intermediates is crucial for ambient urea electrosynthesis with nitrate (NO3 - ) and carbon dioxide (CO2 ). Here we report a liquid-phase laser irradiation method to fabricate symbiotic graphitic carbon encapsulated amorphous iron and iron oxide nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes (Fe(a)@C-Fe3 O4 /CNTs). Fe(a)@C-Fe3 O4 /CNTs exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity toward urea synthesis using NO3 - and CO2 , affording a urea yield of 1341.3±112.6 μg h-1 mgcat -1 and a faradic efficiency of 16.5±6.1 % at ambient conditions. Both experimental and theoretical results indicate that the formed Fe(a)@C and Fe3 O4 on CNTs provide dual active sites for the adsorption and activation of NO3 - and CO2 , thus generating key *NH2 and *CO intermediates with lower energy barriers for urea formation. This work would be helpful for design and development of high-efficiency dual-site electrocatalysts for ambient urea synthesis.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an age-related disease. Failure of the proteostasis network with age, including insufficient autophagy, contributes to the pathology of IPF. Mechanisms underlying autophagy disruption in IPF are unclear and may involve regulation of USP (ubiquitin-specific protease) by post-translational modifications. To expand our previous observation of low USP13 expression in IPF, this study evaluated the role of USP13 in age-related lung fibrosis. Here, we demonstrated that Usp13-deficient aged mice exhibited impaired autophagic activity and increased vulnerability to bleomycin-induced fibrosis. Mechanistically, USP13 interacted with and deubiquitinated Beclin 1, and Beclin 1 overexpression abolished the effects of USP13 disruption. In addition, Beclin 1 inhibition resulted in insufficient autophagy and more severe lung fibrosis after bleomycin injury, consistent with the phenotype of aged Usp13-deficient mice. Collectively, we show a protective role of USP13 in age-related pulmonary fibrosis. Aging-mediated USP13 loss impairs autophagic activity and facilitates lung fibrosis through Beclin 1 deubiquitination. Our findings support the notion that age-dependent dysregulation of autophagic regulators enhances vulnerability to lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Our presentation adopts a lens of intersecting inequalities based on gender and sexual orientation in exploring caregiving for a spouse or partner with dementia. How the division of labor shapes caregiving approaches is sometimes examined, but how this might differ by sexual orientation has not been explored. Previous research has often examined physical tasks and, to a lesser degree, emotion work. Here, we focus on cognitive labor (Daminger, 2019): the mental labor involved in managing the household and social relationships, including anticipating needs, identifying ways to address these, making decisions, and monitoring outcomes. This theoretical backdrop informs our analysis of data garnered from in-depth interviews conducted among gay/lesbian and heterosexual older adults (N=57) who care for their spouses with dementia. However couples may have divided these cognitive steps previously, caregivers must perform them all alone, given care receivers’ cognitive losses. Our analyses reveal that caregivers find being responsible for everything exhausting, but this manifests differently based on gender and sexual orientation. Heterosexual women, for instance, found making all the decisions problematic, whereas heterosexual men reported difficulty in anticipating needs. For the most part, the challenging issues for gay and lesbian caregivers were more varied, as their previous division of labor had been negotiated differently, without a reliance on traditional gender roles. Finally, we uncover a novel domain for cognitive labor: being the “memory keeper.” Predominantly undertaken by women, this work involved maintaining important memories and markers of the care receiver’s (and couple’s) past.

Abstract
Abstract
Gerontologists have voiced much concern about the potential for the pandemic to create social isolation risks for older people, especially older caregivers, for whom the lockdown cut off many sources of support. This presentation is based on a national study of older same-sex and heterosexual people who care for their spouses with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The qualitative, interview-based research began before the pandemic, and we were able to ask caregivers about their experiences during this public health crisis. Drawing on a total of 48 interviews, this presentation documents the surprising finding that, although caregivers discussed some challenges, they found much to say about the positive aspects of the lockdown and continued restrictions, including not having to rush for appointments or social engagements and being less frustrated with their care receivers as a result. They also described instances of greater social connection rather than less through the use of technology. In addition, some caregivers found that being with their care receiver all day gave them greater insights into disease progression and how to manage it, as well as greater intimacy. Finally, the phrase “misery loves company” was used to convey that the pandemic provided a situation wherein other people also were restricted in ways that some caregivers had been prior to the pandemic; as a result they felt others had more of an appreciation of what their lives had been like.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current studies focus on the prevalence rate of lung cancer in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-LID). Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of malignancies in patients with various subtypes of ILD. METHODS A total of 5350 patients diagnosed with ILD between January 2015 and December 2021 were retrospectively included. The prevalence of different malignancies and different ILDs was assessed using complete follow-up data. RESULTS A total of 248 patients (139 males; 65-IQR, 57 to 72-years) out of 5350 patients with ILD were confirmed with malignancies. A total of 69% of patients with ILD and malignances were older than 60 years old. The prevalence of malignancies in ILD patients was 4.6%, and lung cancer had the most common incidence of 1.9%, followed by malignancies in the digestive system of 0.9%. Among the different ILD subtypes, the prevalence of malignancies such as organizing pneumonia (OP), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated vasculitis-related ILD(AAV-ILD), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), CTD-ILD, hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), sarcoidosis, and other types of ILD was 6.8%, 5.0%, 4.7%, 4.3%, 2.5%, 2.2%, 1.2%, and 6.9%, respectively. The incidence of lung cancer as the most common tumor in IPF was 3.9%, with adenocarcinoma predominating (1.7%). The highest rate of malignancy occurring in RA of CTD-ILD was 2.4%. CONCLUSION Older patients with ILD (≥60 years) including OP, IPF, AAV-ILD, NSIP, CTD-ILD, and HP, were associated with a higher incidence of malignancy, especially males aged from 60 to 69 years. These epidemiological results indicate that it is essential for physicians to pay more attention to the screening of and management strategies for different malignancies, according to the specific ILD subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in young male patients accounts for a significant proportion of total heart attack events. Therefore, clinical awareness and screening for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in asymptomatic patients at a young age is required. The gut microbiome is potentially involved in the pathogenesis of STEMI. The aim of the current study is to develop an early risk prediction model based on the gut microbiome and clinical parameters for this population. METHODS A total of 81 young males (age < 44 years) were enrolled in this study. Forty-one young males with STEMI were included in the case group, and the control group included 40 young non-coronary artery disease (CAD) males. To identify the differences in gut microbiome markers between these two groups, 16S rRNA-based gut microbiome sequencing was performed using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Further, a nomogram and corresponding web page were constructed. The diagnostic efficacy and practicability of the model were analyzed using K-fold cross-validation, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Compared to the control group, a significant decrease in tendency regarding α and β diversity was observed in patients in the case group and identified as a significantly altered gut microbiome represented by Streptococcus and Prevotella. Regarding clinical parameters, compared to the control group, the patients in the case group had a higher body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), triglyceride (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and low blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Additionally, BMI and SBP were significantly (p<0.05) positively correlated with Streptococcus and [Ruminococcus]. Further, BMI and SBP were significantly (p<0.05) negatively correlated with Prevotella and Megasphaera. A significant negative correlation was only observed between Prevotella and AST (p < 0.05). Finally, an early predictive nomogram and corresponding web page were constructed based on the gut microbiome and clinical parameters with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.877 and a C-index of 0.911. For the internal validation, the stratified K-fold cross-validation (K = 3) was as follows: AUC value of 0.934. The calibration curves of the model showed good consistency between the actual and predicted probabilities. The DCA results showed that the model had a high net clinical benefit for use in the clinical setting. CONCLUSION In this study, we combined the gut microbiome and common clinical parameters to construct a prediction model. Our analysis shows that the constructed model is a non-invasive tool with potential clinical application in predicting STEMI in the young males.

Abstract
In workplaces such as steel, power grids, and construction, firefighters and other workers often encounter non-uniform high-temperature environments, which significantly increase the risk of local heat stress and local heat discomfort for the workers. In this paper, a multi-segment human bioheat model is developed to predict the human thermal response in asymmetric high-temperature environments by considering the sensitivity of the modeling to angular changes in skin temperature and the effects of high temperatures on human thermoregulatory and physiological responses simultaneously. The extended model for asymmetric high-temperature environments is validated with the current model results and experimental data. The result shows that the extended model predicts the human skin temperature more accurately. Under non-uniform high-temperature conditions, the local skin temperature predictions are highly consistent with the experimental data, with a maximum difference of 2 °C. In summary, the proposed model can accurately predict the temperature of the human core and skin layers. It has the potential to estimate human physiological and thermoregulatory responses under uniform and non-uniform high-temperature environments, providing technical support for local heat stress and local thermal discomfort protection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the prognostic value of blood routine parameters and biochemical parameters, especially inflammation-related biomarkers, and establish an inflammation-related prognostic model in Chinese patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). MATERIAL/METHODS Patients diagnosed as IPF at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and aged 40 years and older were consecutively enrolled from June 2000 to March 2015, and finally, a total of 377 patients were enrolled in the derivation cohort. The follow-up ended in December 2016. We used Cox proportional hazard model to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and establish the prognostic model. The discrimination and calibration of the prognostic model were evaluated in an independent validation cohort enrolled from China-Japan Friendship Hospital between January 2015 and December 2019. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with elevated monocyte-to-red blood cell count ratio (MRR) and monocyte counts showed increased risk of mortality. The clinical-physiological-biomarker (CPB) index and CPB stage we established in this study were a significant predictor, and the C-index for CPB index and CPB stage in the validation cohort was 0.635 (95% CI: 0.558-0.712) and 0.619 (95% CI: 0.544-0.694), respectively. Patients in CPB stage III had the poorest survival. CONCLUSION We developed and validated a new inflammation-related prognostic model (CPB index and CPB stage) which was integration of age, gender, FVC (%, predicted), DLCO (%, predicted), Charlson Comorbidity Index, and blood monocyte counts. This prediction model exhibited strong ability in predicting mortality in Chinese patients with IPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMFs), a dominant population of hepatic macrophages under inflammation, play a crucial role in liver fibrosis progression. The spleen serves as an extra monocyte reservoir in inflammatory conditions; however, the precise mechanisms of involvement of the spleen in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis remain unclear. APPROACH AND RESULTS By splenectomy and splenocyte transfusion, it was observed that splenic CD11b+ cells accumulated intrahepatically as Ly6Clo MoMFs to exacerbate CCl4 -induced liver fibrosis. The splenocyte migration into the fibrotic liver was further directly visualized by spleen-specific photoconversion with KikGR mice and confirmed by CD45.1+ /CD45.2+ spleen transplantation. Spleen-derived CD11b+ cells purified from fibrotic livers were then annotated by single-cell RNA sequencing, and a subtype of CD11b+ CD43hi Ly6Clo splenic monocytes (sM-1s) was identified, which was markedly expanded in both spleens and livers of mice with liver fibrosis. sM-1s exhibited mature feature with high expressions of F4/80, produced much ROS, and manifested preferential migration into livers. Once recruited, sM-1s underwent sequential transformation to sM-2s (highly expressed Mif, Msr1, Clec4d, and Cstb) and then to spleen-derived macrophages (sMφs) with macrophage features of higher expressions of CX3 CR1, F4/80, MHC class II, and CD64 in the fibrotic hepatic milieu. Furthermore, sM-2s and sMφs were demonstrated capable of activating hepatic stellate cells and thus exacerbating liver fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS CD11b+ CD43hi Ly6Clo splenic monocytes migrate into the liver and shift to macrophages, which account for the exacerbation of liver fibrosis. These findings reveal precise mechanisms of spleen-liver axis in hepatic pathogenesis and shed light on the potential of sM-1 as candidate target for controlling liver diseases.

Abstract
The gut microbiome is an essential component of the intestinal mucosal barrier, critical in regulating intestinal permeability. Microbiome dysbiosis and intestinal permeability changes are commonly encountered conditions in patients with cirrhosis and are closely related to its development and further complications. However, alterations in the gut microbiome and intestinal permeability in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension after undergoing a splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization (SPD) have not been investigated. This study recruited 22 patients who were measured against themselves on the study parameters before and after an SPD, along with 20 healthy controls. Methodologically, fecal samples were collected for gut microbiome analysis by 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing, and peripheral blood samples were obtained to examine the liver function and intestinal permeability. This study showed that the community structure of the gut microbiomes in patients before the SPD exhibited obvious differences from those in the healthy control group. They also exhibited a decreased bacterial community richness, increased intestinal permeability, and enhanced inflammation compared with the healthy controls. These issues were further aggravated two weeks after the SPD. There was also evidence of significantly higher abundances of Streptococcaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, and Enterococcaceae than those in the healthy control group. However, 12 months after the surgery, 12 of the 16 patient-associated genera recovered, of which 10 reached normal levels. Additionally, the microbiome diversity increased; the bacterial composition was back to a level similar to the healthy controls. Liver function, intestinal permeability, and inflammation levels all improved compared with preoperative levels. Furthermore, correlation analyses indicated that the five recovered bacterial taxa and the Shannon diversity index were correlated with several improved clinical indicators. Altogether, the improvements in the liver function and intestinal permeability in HBV-related cirrhotic patients may be related to the restoration of the gut microbiome after an SPD.

Abstract
The multi-person movement might cause complex induced airflow and affect the virus-laden expiratory droplet transmission in indoor environments. Using the dynamic mesh model in computational fluid dynamics, the multi-person movement with different personnel location distributions was realized. The induced airflow patterns, virus-laden droplet dispersion, and concentration distribution were investigated in detail. The results show that multi-person movement might intensify inter-regional convection, which has been rarely found in single-person movement conditions. Side-by-side distribution and ladder distribution of moving persons could cause a connected low-pressure area behind the moving persons, which might enhance lateral virus transport, especially where droplets might suspend at the height of the breathing zone. Not only 1-10 μm aerosols but also some 20-50 μm droplets are carried by the multi-person movement-induced airflow to over 3 m. Since the width of induced airflow is about 0.6-1.0 m, moving persons should keep enough horizontal distance (>1.0 m) to limit the air mixing and virus-laden droplet transmission. This paper could provide a detailed reference for the numerical study of multi-person movement-induced airflow patterns, droplet dispersion, and indoor infection control.

Abstract
Background Recent years, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is thought to be a disease of alveoli as well as small airways. This study aimed to demonstrate the clinical feature, predictor, and prognosis of small airway dysfunction (SAD) in Chinese patients with IPF. Methods We enrolled 416 patients with IPF who hospitalized in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from 2000 to 2014 in this study, and the follow-up ended at December 2016. We collected demographic information, clinical examination results, spirometry results, HRCT results, and blood gas results during the study. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictor for SAD. The COX proportional hazard model was used to analysis the prognosis effect of SAD. Results Among all the participants, 165 (39.66%) patients had SAD. FEV1 (% predicted) and FEV3/FVC were significantly associated with SAD in patients with IPF. IPF patients with lower FEV1 (% predicted, OR 30.04, 95% CI 9.61–93.90) and FEV3/FVC (OR 77.76, 95% CI 15.44–391.63) had increased risk for SAD. Patients with SAD were associated with significantly increased risk of mortality in patients with IPF (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.02–2.92), as well as in IPF patients without other pulmonary comorbidities (COPD, emphysema, and asthma). Conclusions Spirometry-defined SAD was like 40% in patients with IPF. Lower FEV1 (% predicted) and FEV3/FVC were main predictors for SAD. IPF patients with SAD showed poorer prognosis.

Other 2 experimental groups of 30 mice each COC-1 and COC-2 drank 50% and 100% Coca-Cola, respectively for 15 days. The control group (CG) of 30 mice drank water. Bilateral testes were harvested aseptically on days 0, 5, 7, 10, 13 and 15. Real-time PCR and Western blot were implemented to detect levels of androgen receptor (AR) mRNA and protein in testis tissues. Results Testes masses of PEP-2, COC-1 and COC-2 were greater than those of PEP-1 and CG (P < 0.05). On day 15, testis longitudinal diameter (TLD) of CBs-treated mice was increased as compared to CG. TLD, testes transverse diameters (TTD) and AR proteins levels of PEP-2 and COC-2 were increased in comparison with CG (P<0.05). Serum testosterone concentrations of PEP-2 were higher than that of COC-1 and CG (P < 0.05). Levels of AR mRNAs of four CBs-treated mice were increased by 60.18%, 67.26%, 65.93% and 78.76%. Conclusions A high concentration of Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola could raise TLD and TDD, enhance testosterone secretion, and increase serum EGF concentrations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) secondary to anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) greatly influence the prognoses of patients with ASS. Here we aimed to investigate the peripheral immune responses to understand the pathogenesis of this condition. METHODS We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 5 patients with ASS-ILD and 3 healthy donors (HDs). Flow cytometry of PBMCs was performed to replenish the results of scRNA-seq. RESULTS We used scRNA-seq to depict a high-resolution visualization of cellular landscape in PBMCs from patients with ASS-ILD. Patients showed upregulated interferon responses among NK cells, monocytes, T cells, and B cells. And the ratio of effector memory CD8 T cells to naïve CD8 T cells was significantly higher in patients than that in HDs. Additionally, Th1, Th2, and Th17 cell differentiation signaling pathways were enriched in T cells. Flow cytometry analyses showed increased proportions of Th17 cells and Th2 cells, and decreased proportion of Th1 cells in patients with ASS-ILD when compared with HDs, evaluated by the expression patterns of chemokine receptors. CONCLUSIONS The scRNA-seq data analyses reveal that ASS-ILD is characterized by upregulated interferon responses, altered CD8 T cell homeostasis, and involvement of differentiation signaling pathways of CD4 T cells. The flow cytometry analyses show that the proportions of Th17 cells and Th2 cells are increased and the proportion of Th1 cells is decreased in patients with ASS-ILD. These findings may provide foundations of novel therapeutic targets for patients with this condition.
