Abstract
Floods are some of the most frequent and severe natural hazards worldwide. In the context of climate change, the risk of extreme floods is expected to increase in the future. While, the trends in flood timing and risk for flood synchronization remain unclear. In this study, the seasonality of flood peaks, annual maximum rainfall, and annual maximum soil moisture in the Yangtze River Basin were examined using observational and reanalysis data from 1949 to 2020. Changes in the timing of extreme events may increase the possibility of concurrent flooding, therefore the risk for synchronous floods were further explored. The results indicate that the seasonality of floods has a strong consistency with that of annual maximum rainfall. In the southern Yangtze River Basin, floods usually occur between early June and early July, with a delayed trend. However, they occur slightly later in the north, generally from late July to early August, with a tendency of advance. Overall, the timing of floods is positively correlated with rainfall and soil moisture peaks, and the correlation is much stronger for annual maximum rainfall. However, for more intense floods or for larger catchments, soil moisture plays an important role in modulating the variations in flood timing. Reverse latitudinal changes in flood timing are expected to result in more synchronous floods. The synchrony frequency exceeded 60 % for most of the stations, and the frequency was increasing for nearly half of the region, especially in the middle reaches, Poyang Lake and south of Dongting Lake. In addition, the flood synchrony scale in the south of the basin showed significant upward trends. These findings would provide important implications for flood risk management and adaptive strategy development.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the changes of artemin protein expression in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and to explore the regulatory effect of human adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) exosomes on the change of artemin protein expression. Methods: This research was a prospective observational clinical research combined with experimental research. Thirteen DPN patients (9 males and 4 females, aged 32 to 68 years) who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University (hereinafter referred to as our hospital) from May 2022 to October 2023 and met the inclusion criteria were selected as DPN group, and 5 non-diabetes patients (4 males and 1 female, aged 29 to 61 years) who were admitted to our hospital in the same period of time and met the inclusion criteria were selected as control group. The toe nerve or sural nerve tissue in the abandoned tissue after debridement or amputation of patients in the two groups was collected. The pathological changes of nerve tissue were observed after hematoxylin-eosin staining; the protein expressions of S100β and artemin in nerve tissue were observed after immunofluorescence staining, and the artemin protein expression was quantified; the protein and mRNA expressions of artemin were detected by Western blotting and real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, respectively (the sample number in DPN group and control group was 13 and 5, respectively). Twelve male C57BL/6 mice aged 3 to 5 days were collected to isolate Schwann cells, and the cells were divided into conventional culture group cultured routinely, high glucose alone group (cultured with high concentration of glucose solution only), and high glucose+exosome group (cultured with high concentration of glucose solution and extracted human ADSC exosomes). After 24 hours of culture, the cell proliferation activity was detected by cell counting kit 8 (n=6). After 48 hours of culture, the protein expression of artemin was detected by Western blotting (n=3). Results: Compared with those in control group, the neural supporting cells decreased and the inflammatory cells increased in the nerve tissue of patients in DPN group, showing typical manifestations of nerve injury. Immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with those in control group, the nuclei was more, and the protein expression of S100β was lower in nerve tissue of patients in DPN group. The protein expression of artemin in nerve tissue of patients in DPN group was 71±31, which was significantly lower than 1 729±62 in control group (t=76.92, P<0.05). Western blotting detection showed that the protein expression of artemin in nerve tissue of patients in DPN group was 0.74±0.08, which was significantly lower than 0.97±0.06 in control group (t=5.49, P<0.05). The artemin mRNA expression in nerve tissue of patients in DPN group was significantly lower than that in control group (t=7.65, P<0.05). After 24 hours of culture, compared with that in conventional culture group, the proliferation activities of Schwann cells in high glucose alone group and high glucose+exosome group were significantly decreased (P<0.05); compared with that in high glucose alone group, the proliferation activity of Schwann cells in high glucose+exosome group was significantly increased (P<0.05). After 48 hours of culture, compared with those in conventional culture group, the protein expressions of artemin of Schwann cells in high glucose alone group and high glucose+exosome group were significantly decreased (P<0.05); compared with that in high glucose alone group, the protein expression of artemin of Schwann cells in high glucose+exosome group was significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions: The protein expression of artemin in nerve tissue of DPN patients is lower than that in normal nerve tissue, which may be related to the reduction of proliferation activity of Schwann cells by high glucose. Human ADSC exosomes may improve the proliferation activity of Schwann cells by increasing artemin protein expression, thereby delaying the progression of DPN.

Abstract
Metal anodes are emerging as culminating solutions for the development of energy-dense batteries in either aprotic, aqueous, or solid battery configurations. However, unlike traditional intercalation electrodes, the low utilization of "hostless" metal anodes due to the intrinsically disordered plating/stripping impedes their practical applications. Herein, we report ordered planar plating/stripping in a bulk zinc (Zn) anode to achieve an extremely high depth of discharge exceeding 90% with negligible thickness fluctuation and long-term stable cycling. The Zn can be plated/stripped with (0001)Zn preferential orientation throughout the consecutive charge/discharge process, assisted by a self-assembled supramolecular bilayer at the Zn anode-electrolyte interface. Through real-time tracking of the Zn atoms migration, we reveal that the ordered planar plating/stripping is driven by the construction of in-plane Zn─N bindings and the gradient energy landscape at the reaction fronts. The breakthrough results provide alternative insights into the ordered plating/stripping of metal anodes toward rechargeable energy-dense batteries.

Abstract
Successful wound healing in diabetic patients is hindered by dysregulated miRNA expression. This study aimed to investigate the abnormal expression of miRNAs in diabetic wound healing and the potential therapeutic role of modulating the miR-206/HIF-1α pathway. MicroRNA assays were used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in diabetic wound sites and adjacent areas. In vitro models and a rat diabetic model were established to evaluate the effects of miR-206 on HIF-1α regulation and wound healing. The study revealed differential expression of miR-206 in diabetic wound tissues, its interaction with HIF-1α, and the inhibitory effect of miR-206 on cell growth under high glucose conditions. Modulating the miR-206/HIF-1α pathway using miR-206 antagomir promoted HIF-1α, CD34, and VEGF expression, ultimately enhancing diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Human-machine interaction (HMI) technology shows an important application prospect in rehabilitation medicine, but it is greatly limited by the unsatisfactory recognition accuracy and wearing comfort. Here, this work develops a fully flexible, conformable, and functionalized multimodal HMI interface consisting of hydrogel-based sensors and a self-designed flexible printed circuit board. Thanks to the component regulation and structural design of the hydrogel, both electromyogram (EMG) and forcemyography (FMG) signals can be collected accurately and stably, so that they are later decoded with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). Compared with traditional multichannel EMG signals, the multimodal human-machine interaction method based on the combination of EMG and FMG signals significantly improves the efficiency of human-machine interaction by increasing the information entropy of the interaction signals. The decoding accuracy of the interaction signals from only two channels for different gestures reaches 91.28%. The resulting AI-powered active rehabilitation system can control a pneumatic robotic glove to assist stroke patients in completing movements according to the recognized human motion intention. Moreover, this HMI interface is further generalized and applied to other remote sensing platforms, such as manipulators, intelligent cars, and drones, paving the way for the design of future intelligent robot systems.

Abstract
The development of stable and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is of utmost importance for overall water splitting. This study introduces Co3S4@NiFe-LDH core-shell heterostructure prepared via an electrodeposition of ultrathin NiFe-LDH nanosheet on zeolitic imidazolium framework-derived Co3S4 nanosheet arrays. The bifunctional Co3S4@NiFe-LDH/NF exhibits impressive catalytic performance and long-term stability for both the OER and HER with low overpotentials of 100 mA cm-2 at 235 mV and 10 mA cm-2 at 95 mV in 1 M KOH, respectively. The assembled cell with Co3S4@NiFe-LDH/NF as both cathode and anode shows voltages of 1.595 and 1.666 V at current densities of 10 and 20 mA cm-2, respectively, as well as ultralong stability over 500 h. DFT calculations expose a robust electron interaction at the heterogeneous interface of the Co3S4@NiFe-LDH/NF core-shell structure. This interaction promotes electron transfer from NiFe-LDH to Co3S4 and reduces the energy barriers for OER intermediates, thereby enhancing electrocatalytic activity. This research contributes novel insights toward the promising materials for electrochemical water splitting through the construction of heterojunction interfaces.

Abstract
To evaluate the diagnostic potential of exosome-based circular RNAs (circRNAs) as biomarkers for wound healing in patients after breast cancer surgery, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of studies that measured exosome-based circRNA levels in breast cancer patients post-surgery. Data sources included several biomedical databases up to April 2023. Two independent reviewers extracted the data and assessed study quality. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratios were synthesized using random-effects model with subgroup analyses performed based on study characteristics. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing a total of 1234 patients. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of exosome-based circRNA for detecting wound healing complications were 0.85 (95% CI: 0.77-0.91) and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.78-0.88), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 0.90, indicating high diagnostic accuracy. Subgroup analyses revealed that diagnostic performance was consistent across studies of different geographic regions and sample types but indicated potential variability related to patient age and study design. Exosome-based circRNA profiles exhibited the high diagnostic accuracy for monitoring wound healing in breast cancer post-operative care. These findings supported the potential utility of circRNA as non-invasive biomarkers for post-surgical recovery. However, variability among studies suggested the need for standardized protocols in biomarker measurement. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to validate the prognostic value of these biomarkers and investigate their role in personalized patient management.

Abstract
TiNb2 O7 with Wadsley-Roth phase delivers double theoretical specific capacity and similar working potential in comparison to spinel Li4 Ti5 O12 , the commercial high-rate anode material, and thus can enable much higher energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, the inter-particle resistance within the high-mass-loading TiNb2 O7 electrode would impede the capacity release for practical application, especially under fast-charging conditions. Herein, 10-20 μm-size carbon-coated TiNb2 O7 secondary particle (SP-TiNb2 O7 ) consisting of initial micro-scale TiNb2 O7 particles (MP-TiNb2 O7 ) was fabricated. The high crystallinity of active material could enable fast-charge diffusion and electrochemical reaction rate within particles, and the small number of stacking layers of SP-TiNb2 O7 could reduce the large inter-particle resistance that regular particle electrode often possess and achieve high compaction density of electrodes with high mass loading. The investigation on materials structure and electrochemical reaction kinetics verified the advances of the as-fabricated SP-TiNb2 O7 in achieving superior electrochemical performance. The SP-TiNb2 O7 exhibited high reversible capacity of 292.7 mAh g-1 in the potential range of 1-3 V (Li+ /Li) at 0.1 C, delivering high-capacity release of 94.3 %, and high capacity retention of 86 % at 0.5 C for 250 cycles in half cell configuration. Particularly, the advances of such an anode were verified in practical 5 Ah-level laminated full pouch cell. The as-assembled LiFePO4 ||TiNb2 O7 full cell exhibited a high capacity of 5.08 Ah at high charging rate of 6 C (77.9 % of that at 0.2 C of 6.52 Ah), as well as an ultralow capacity decay rate of 0.0352 % for 250 cycles at 1 C, suggesting the great potential for practical fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Exploring non-noble metal dual-functional electrocatalysts with high activity and stability for water splitting is highly desirable. In this study, using zeolitic imidazolate framework-L (ZIF-L) nanoarrays as the precursor, manganese oxide-decorated porous nickel-cobalt phosphide nanosheet arrays have been prepared on nickel foam (denoted as MnOx/NiCoP/NF) through cation etching, phosphorization and electrodeposition, which are utilized as an efficient dual-functional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. The hierarchical porous nanosheet arrays provide abundant active sites for the electrochemical process, while the MnOx modification induces strong interfacial interaction, benefiting charge transfer. Thus, the MnOx/NiCoP/NF exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, overpotential of 93 mV at 10 mA cm-2), oxygen evolution reaction (OER, overpotential of 240 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and overall water splitting (cell voltage of 1.59 V at 10 mA cm-2). Furthermore, it shows superior stability during continuous overall water splitting for 200 h. This work provides a simple and effective approach for developing efficient non-noble metal dual-functional catalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
3D bioprinting is recognized as a promising biomanufacturing technology that enables the reproducible and high-throughput production of tissues and organs through the deposition of different bioinks. Especially, bioinks based on loaded cells allow for immediate cellularity upon printing, providing opportunities for enhanced cell differentiation for organ manufacturing and regeneration. Thus, extensive applications have been found in the field of tissue engineering. The performance of the bioinks determines the functionality of the entire printed construct throughout the bioprinting process. It is generally expected that bioinks should support the encapsulated cells to achieve their respective cellular functions and withstand normal physiological pressure exerted on the printed constructs. The bioinks should also exhibit a suitable printability for precise deposition of the constructs. These characteristics are essential for the functional development of tissues and organs in bioprinting and are often achieved through the combination of different biomaterials. In this review, we have discussed the cutting-edge outstanding performance of different bioinks for printing various human tissues and organs in recent years. We have also examined the current status of 3D bioprinting and discussed its future prospects in relieving or curing human health problems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nearly one-third of low-income women of reproductive age in the U.S. receive care in federally qualified community health centers, but comprehensive reproductive care is not consistently provided. Illinois Contraceptive Access Now (ICAN!) is an initiative addressing the access gap to high-quality contraceptive care with a focus on normalizing reproductive health screening for patients in federally qualified community health centers (FQHCs). STUDY DESIGN This multi-method program evaluation used the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, with retrospective and prospective data collection from three Illinois FQHCs who participated as Quality Hubs, and from a Community Advisory Board. We conducted descriptive analysis of patient surveys using the Person-Centered Contraceptive Counseling (PCCC) measure (n = 142); clinician and staff pre-and post-training surveys (n = 210); and Community Advisory Board surveys (n = 8) collecting quantitative and qualitative feedback. We ran logistic regression on claims data from 15- to 49-year-old patients identified as female at birth (n = 103,756). RESULTS Reach assessment showed patients receiving contraceptive or preconception care increased from 1063 per month in 2020 to 1236 per month in 2021 (16% increase), while general volume increased 2%. Effectiveness showed most patients (78%) described the quality of contraceptive counseling as "excellent" on the PCCC. Adoption assessment showed knowledge increases after clinical training on Modern Contraception (85% pre-training, 95% post-training) and Reproductive Justice (RJ) (58% pre-training, 70% post-training). Implementation assessment found that most Community Advisory Board members felt ICAN! was responsive to community needs. CONCLUSIONS The ICAN! demonstration year increased provider knowledge and volume of reproductive care at three Illinois FQHCs. IMPLICATIONS Contraceptive access initiatives that operationalize same day access to birth control methods while training FQHC providers on RJ and modern contraception, show promise on several measures. Early evidence from ICAN! indicates increased reproductive health service provision, as well as increases in provider knowledge of RJ and modern contraceptive care.

Abstract
Fluorescence nanoscopy has become increasingly powerful for biomedical research, but it has historically afforded a small field-of-view (FOV) of around 50 μm × 50 μm at once and more recently up to ∼200 μm × 200 μm. Efforts to further increase the FOV in fluorescence nanoscopy have thus far relied on the use of fabricated waveguide substrates, adding cost and sample constraints to the applications. Here we report PRism-Illumination and Microfluidics-Enhanced DNA-PAINT (PRIME-PAINT) for multiplexed fluorescence nanoscopy across millimeter-scale FOVs. Built upon the well-established prism-type total internal reflection microscopy, PRIME-PAINT achieves robust single-molecule localization with up to ∼520 μm × 520 μm single FOVs and 25-40 nm lateral resolutions. Through stitching, nanoscopic imaging over mm2 sample areas can be completed in as little as 40 min per target. An on-stage microfluidics chamber facilitates probe exchange for multiplexing and enhances image quality, particularly for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. We demonstrate the utility of PRIME-PAINT by analyzing ∼106 caveolae structures in ∼1,000 cells and imaging entire pancreatic cancer lesions from patient tissue biopsies. By imaging from nanometers to millimeters with multiplexity and broad sample compatibility, PRIME-PAINT will be useful for building multiscale, Google-Earth-like views of biological systems.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting, a crucial reaction for renewable energy storage, demands highly efficient and stable catalysts. Defect and interface engineering has been widely acknowledged to play a pivotal role in improving electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy to construct sulfur vacancy (Sv)-engineered Co3S4/MoS2-interfaced nanosheet arrays to modulate the interface electronic structure in situ reduction with NaBH4. The abundant sulfur vacancies and well-arranged nanosheet arrays in Sv-Co3S4/MoS2 lead to pronounced electrocatalytic properties for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) in an alkaline medium, with observed overpotentials of 156 and 209 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Additionally, as a bifunctional electrocatalyst, Sv-Co3S4/MoS2 requires a cell voltage of 1.67 V at 10 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting and exhibits long-term stability with activity sustained for more than 20 h. This study provides a novel approach to producing transition metal compound-interfaced electrocatalysts with rich vacancies under mild conditions, showcasing their potential for efficient water splitting applications.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the common chronic complications of diabetes, resulting in neuropathy of spinal nerve, cranial nerve, and vegetative nerve. Diabetic distal symmetric multiple neuropathy is the most representative lesion of DPN, including symptoms of bilateral limbs pain, numbness, and paresthesia, etc. DPN is one of the main reasons causing diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Schwann cells (SCs) are the primary glia cells of the peripheral nervous system, which play very important role in repairing after nerve injury. As the target cells of chronic hyperglycemia, SCs' functions, including the formation of myelin sheath, the secretion of neurotrophic factors, energy supplying for the axon, and the guidance of axon regeneration, etc., are damaged under the action of high glucose. The destroyed functions of SCs can inhibit the repair of damaged nerves and accelerate the progress of DPN. Therefore, if the damage of high glucose to SCs can be effectively reduced, it will provide a new way for the treatment of DPN and DFU and reduce the morbidity of DFU. This review focuses on the function of SCs and its relationship with DPN.

Abstract
Self-assemblies of de novo designed short peptides at interface and in bulk solution provide potential platforms for developing applications in many medical and technological areas. However, characterising how bioinspired supramolecular nanostructures evolve with dynamic self-assembling processes and respond to different stimuli remains challenging. Neutron scattering technologies including small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron reflection (NR) can be advantageous and complementary to other state-of-the-art techniques in tracing structural changes under different conditions. With more neutron sources now available, SANS and NR are becoming increasingly popular in studying self-assembling processes of diverse peptide and protein systems, but the difficulty in experimental manipulation and data analysis can deter beginners. This review will introduce the basic theory, general experimental setup and data analysis of SANS and NR, followed by provision of their applications in characterising interfacial and solution self-assemblies of representative peptides and proteins. SANS and NR are remarkably effective in determining the morphological features self-assembled short peptides, especially size and shape transitions as a result of either sequence changes or in response to environmental stimuli, demonstrating the unique capability of NR and SANS in unravelling the interactive processes. These examples highlight the potential of NR and SANS in supporting the development of novel short peptides and proteins as biopharmaceutical candidates in the fight against many diseases and infections that share common features of membrane interactive processes.

Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs) have emerged as an efficient technology toward the utilization of renewable energy, which demands high-performance electrode materials. Transition-metal sulfides (TMSs) and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) rich in active sites and valence states are very promising electrode materials, but they still suffer from inherent defects, such as low electric conductivity, sluggish reaction kinetics and large volume change during electrochemical reactions. In this work, NiMn-LDH nanosheets are assembled on the surfaces of ZnCoS hollow nanosheet arrays derived from a zeolitic imidazolate framework-L (ZIF-L) to form a ZnCoS@NiMn-LDH heterostructure (ZCS@LDH) with a built-in electric field. The unique structure gives rise to abundant exposed active sites and improved ion diffusion. More importantly, the built-in electric field can enhance conductivity and charge transfer by modulating the electronic structures. With these merits, the optimal ZCS@LDH-6 electrode displays outstanding specific capacitance (2102.2 F g-1 at 1 A g-1) and remarkable rate performance (68.1% at 10 A g-1). The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) using the ZCS@LDH-6 electrode shows high energy storage capacity (41.7 W h kg-1 at 850.0 W kg-1), satisfactory cycle life (92.2% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles) and high coulombic efficiency (95.8%). This work will shed light on designing high-performance electrode materials via heterostructure and morphology engineering.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are some of the most promising precursors for the development of economically stable and efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting. An effective strategy for designing excellent performance electrocatalysts is to assemble core-shell heterostructures with a tunable electronic structure. In this work, three core-shell heterostructure electrocatalysts (NiCo@NiFe-LDH100/150/200) are developed by a simple hydrothermal and subsequent electrodeposition method on Ni foam. Among them, NiCo@NiFe-LDH150/NF exhibits the best oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability with a low overpotential of 197 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2. In addition, an efficient and stable alkaline electrolytic cell with NiCo@NiFe-LDH150/NF both as the cathode and anode achieves a voltage of 1.66 V at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and realization of ultralong stability at current densities of 20 and 200 mA cm-2 for 200 h. Density functional theory calculations reveal the strong electron interaction at the heterogeneous interface of the NiCo@NiFe-LDH150/NF core-shell structure, which effectively improves the intrinsic electron conductivity and ion diffusion kinetics and makes an important contribution to the electrocatalytic performance of the material. This work provides a new idea for the selection of materials for electrochemical water splitting by the construction of heterojunction interfaces.

Abstract
Exosomes are secreted to the extracellular milieu when multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) dock and fuse with the plasma membrane. However, MVEs are also known to fuse with lysosomes for degradation. How MVEs are directed to the plasma membrane for exosome secretion rather than to lysosomes is unclear. Here we report that a conversion of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI(3)P) to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI(4)P) catalyzed sequentially by Myotubularin 1 (MTM1) and phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type IIα (PI4KIIα) on the surface of MVEs mediates the recruitment of the exocyst complex. The exocyst then targets the MVEs to the plasma membrane for exosome secretion. We further demonstrate that disrupting PI(4)P generation or exocyst function blocked exosomal secretion of Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), a key immune checkpoint protein in tumor cells, and led to its accumulation in lysosomes. Together, our study suggests that the PI(3)P to PI(4)P conversion on MVEs and the recruitment of the exocyst direct the exocytic trafficking of MVEs for exosome secretion.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flap in repairing complex wounds of foot and ankle. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From May 2018 to June 2022, 23 patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University to repair complex wounds of foot and ankle with anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flaps, including 15 males and 8 females, aged from 20 to 66 years. The wounds were all accompanied by bone exposure and defects, and were complicated with varying degrees of infection. All patients underwent debridement and continuous vacuum sealing drainage treatment for 1 week in stage Ⅰ, with the skin and soft tissue defect area after debridement being 10 cm×5 cm to 22 cm×7 cm. In stage Ⅱ, the anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flap was used to cover the defective wound, of which the muscle flap was used to fill the deep invalid cavity of the ankle joint or cover bone and internal fixation exposures, and the skin flap was used to cover the superficial wound, with the area of the skin flap ranging from 11 cm×6 cm to 23 cm×8 cm, and the area of the muscle flap ranging from 4.0 cm×2.5 cm to 8.0 cm×5.0 cm. The survival of the flap was observed after operation. During follow-up, the color, texture, appearance, and complications of the flap were observed, the function of ankle joint and its range of dorsiflexion motion and plantar flexion motion were measured, and the scar hyperplasia and muscular hernia in donor area were observed. Results: Ecchymosis and epidermal necrosis occurred at the tip of the flap in 1 patient on 5 days after operation and healed after dressing change for 1 week; the other flaps of patients survived successfully. After 6 to 40 months of follow-up, the color, texture, and shape of flaps were good, but 1 patient was not satisfied with the shape of the flap because of flap swelling; the ankle joint movement was basically normal, the dorsiflexion motion was 15-30°, and the plantar flexion motion was 20-45°; the scar hyperplasia in the donor area of the flap was not obvious, and no muscular hernia occurred. Conclusions: The anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flap can effectively fill the deep invalid cavity of ankle joint and cover the superficial wound at the same time, with minimal damage to the donor site. So it is an ideal flap for repairing the complex wounds of foot and ankle.

Abstract
Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the Transwell assay data shown in Fig. 4D on p. 1634 contained overlapping sections, such that these data, which were intended to show the results from differently performed experiments, were likely to have been derived from the same original source. After having examined their original data, the authors have realized that this figure was inadvertently assembled incorrectly. The corrected version of Fig. 4, now showing data in Fig. 4D from one of the repeated experiments, is shown on the next page. Note that this error did not significantly affect the results or the conclusions reported in this paper, and all the authors agree with the publication of this Corrigendum. The authors are grateful to the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports for granting them the opportunity to publish this corrigendum, and apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is a compelling method for the production of environmentally friendly hydrogen, minimizing carbon emissions. The electrolysis of water heavily relies on an effective and steady oxygen evolution reaction (OER) taking place at the anode. Herein, we introduce a highly promising catalyst for OER called CoSe2@NiFeOOH arrays, which are supported on nickel foam. This catalyst, referred to as CoSe2@NiFeOOH/NF, is fabricated through a two-step process involving the selenidation of a Co-based porous metal organic framework and subsequent electrochemical deposition on nickel foam. The CoSe2@NiFeOOH/NF catalyst demonstrates outstanding activity for the OER in an alkaline electrolyte. It exhibits a low overpotential (η) of 254 mV at 100 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 73 mV dec-1, and excellent high stability. The good performance of CoSe2@NiFeOOH/NF can be attributed to the combination of the high conductivity of the inner layer and the synergistic effect between CoSe2 and NiFeOOH. This study offers an effective method for the fabrication of highly efficient catalysts for an OER.

Abstract
Designing highly-efficient, cost-effective, and stable electrocatalysts for water splitting is essential to producing green hydrogen. In this work, a nanoflower quaternary heterostructured Ni(NO3)2(OH)4/Ni(OH)2/Ni3S2/NiFe-LDH electrocatalyst is successfully synthesized by two-step hydrothermal reactions. The sulfur in the electrocatalyst induces higher valence state metal atoms as active sites to accelerate the formation of O2. As expected, benefiting from the unique structural features and solid electronic interactions, Ni(NO3)2(OH)4/Ni(OH)2/Ni3S2/NiFe-LDH exhibits remarkable oxygen evolution reaction performance with a low overpotential of 223 mV at a current density of 100 mA cm-2, a slight Tafel slope of 65.4 mV dec-1, and outstanding stability in alkaline media. Attractively, using Ni(NO3)2(OH)4/Ni(OH)2/Ni3S2/NiFe-LDH as both a cathode and an anode, the alkaline electrolyzer delivers a current density of 10 mA cm-2 only at a cell voltage of 1.67 V, accompanied by superior durability. This work provides a facile method for the rational design of high-performance quaternary electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The design and development of high-performance electrochemical electrode materials are crucial for energy storage and conversion systems. This work reports a facile preparation of a self-supported Zn/Co-S@Ni(OH)2 array electrode in which a Zn/Co-S nanosheet is derived from a leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (Zn/Co-ZIF-L). The core-shell structure provides multiple benefits such as enhanced electrical conductivity, an abundance of exposed active sites, and strong electronic interactions between Zn/Co-S and ultra-thin Ni(OH)2 nanosheets, facilitating faster charge transfer. Consequently, Zn/Co-S@Ni(OH)2 demonstrates remarkable electrochemical characteristics as an electrode material for supercapacitors with an area capacitance of 12.9 F cm-2 at a current density of 2 mA cm-2 in 2 M KOH. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor device achieves a high energy density of 0.95 mW h cm-2, while showing excellent longevity with a retention of 90.9% over 5000 cycles. Additionally, the Zn/Co-S@Ni(OH)2 arrays demonstrate significant oxygen evolution reaction activity with an overpotential of 242 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH and significant stability for more than 100 h. This work provides a valuable approach for synthesizing bifunctional electrode materials for both energy storage and electrocatalysis applications.

Abstract
While the rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have been recognized as one of the most viable batteries for scale-up application, the instability on Zn anode-electrolyte interface bottleneck the further development dramatically. Herein, we utilize the amino acid glycine (Gly) as an electrolyte additive to stabilize the Zn anode-electrolyte interface. The unique interfacial chemistry is facilitated by the synergistic "anchor-capture" effect of polar groups in Gly molecule, manifested by simultaneously coupling the amino to anchor on the surface of Zn anode and the carboxyl to capture Zn2+ in the local region. As such, this robust anode-electrolyte interface inhibits the disordered migration of Zn2+, and effectively suppresses both side reactions and dendrite growth. The reversibility of Zn anode achieves a significant improvement with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.22% at 1 mA cm-2 and 0.5 mAh cm-2 over 500 cycles. Even at a high Zn utilization rate (depth of discharge, DODZn) of 68%, a steady cycle life up to 200 h is obtained for ultrathin Zn foils (20 μm). The superior rate capability and long-term cycle stability of Zn-MnO2 full cells further prove the effectiveness of Gly in stabilizing Zn anode. This work sheds light on additive designing from the specific roles of polar groups for AZIBs.

Abstract
There is huge demand for recreating human skin with the functions of epidermis and dermis for interactions with the physical world. Herein, a biomimetic, ultrasensitive, and multifunctional hydrogel-based electronic skin (BHES) was proposed. Its epidermis function was mimicked using poly(ethylene terephthalate) with nanoscale wrinkles, enabling accurate identification of materials through the capabilities to gain/lose electrons during contact electrification. Internal mechanoreceptor was mimicked by interdigital silver electrodes with stick-slip sensing capabilities to identify textures/roughness. The dermis function was mimicked by patterned microcone hydrogel, achieving pressure sensors with high sensitivity (17.32 mV/Pa), large pressure range (20-5000 Pa), low detection limit, and fast response (10 ms)/recovery time (17 ms). Assisted by deep learning, this BHES achieved high accuracy and minimized interference in identifying materials (95.00% for 10 materials) and textures (97.20% for four roughness cases). By integrating signal acquisition/processing circuits, a wearable drone control system was demonstrated with three-degree-of-freedom movement and enormous potentials for soft robots, self-powered human-machine interaction interfaces of digital twins.

Abstract
One of the crucial issues for applying electret/triboelectric power generators in the Internet of Things (IoT) is to take full advantage of specific high voltage signals and enable self-powered sensing. Therefore, inspired by Miura-origami, we present an innovative origami power generator (OPG) constructed from only one piece of electret thin film. The Miura-origami architecture realizes a generator with excellent deformability and stretchability and makes it unnecessary for any auxiliary support structure during the compress-release cycle. Various parameters of the generator are intensively investigated, including the excitation accelerations, excitation displacements, numbers of power generation units and deformation degree of the device. When stimulated with 5.0 g acceleration at 15 Hz frequency, the generator with 8 generation units can obtain an instantaneous peak-to-peak voltage and a remarkable optimum peak power of 328 V and 2152 μW at 50 MΩ, respectively. In addition, the regulable shape and multiple generation modes of the device greatly improve its applicability in various vibration energy collection requirements. Based on the above results, a hexagonal electret generator integrated with six-phase OPGs is developed as a "Buoy on Sky," after which the signal waveforms generated from internal power generators are recognized with 92% accuracy through a neural network algorithm that identifies the vibration conditions of transmission lines. This work demonstrates that a fusion of origami art and energy conversion techniques can achieve a multifunctional generator design satisfying the requirements for IoT applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively applied in supercapacitors. Unfortunately, metal active sites in MOFs are commonly blocked and saturated by organic ligands, leading to insufficient positions available for the electrochemical reaction. To address this issue, we develop a novel strategy to design and prepare a series of hollow metal sulfide/MOF heterostructures, which simultaneously alleviate the large volume expansion, avoid slow kinetics of metal sulfides and expose more electrochemically active sites of the MOF. Consequently, the optimized Co9S8/Co-BDC MOF heterostructure presents outstanding electrochemical performance with a high areal specific capacitance of 15.84 F cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2 and a capacitance retention rate of 87.5% after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. The asymmetric supercapacitors based on the heterostructure deliver a high energy density of 0.87 mW h cm-2 and a power density of 19.84 mW cm-2, as well as long cycling stability. This study provides a new strategy for the rational design and in situ synthesis of metal sulfide/MOF heterostructures for electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Binary transition metal sulfides are considered to be a promising material for supercapacitors, possessing richer electrochemically active sites and superior electrochemical performance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are often used as self-sacrificing templates in the preparation of metal sulfides. Usually, direct sulfidation of MOFs tends to cause collapse of the morphological structure and blockage of the ion transport channels, so that the morphology of the original MOF template can be well preserved by using pyrolysis followed by S2- ion exchange. In this paper, we first prepared NiCo-MOF-74 on nickel foam by an in situ transformation method from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) through a ligand exchange reaction. Then, CoNi2S4 was synthesized in two steps involving the pyrolysis of NiCo-MOF-74 and a subsequent S2- ion exchange reaction. Compared with direct sulfidation, this synthetic strategy can well maintain the rod-like morphology of MOF-74 arrays and prevent structural collapse. The surface of CoNi2S4 has a fine nanosheet structure, which exposes more active sites and shows a high specific capacitance of 7.50 F cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2 and an excellent Coulomb efficiency (96.32%). In addition, the hybrid supercapacitor assembled with activated carbon shows a high energy density of 0.64 mW h cm-2 at a power density of 1.64 mW cm-2 and a high capacitance retention of 88.39% after 5000 cycles. These results indicate that rod-shaped CoNi2S4 can be controllably prepared from MOF-74 involving an exchange reaction and has promising application in high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
The study of wearable systems based on surface electromyography (sEMG) signals has attracted widespread attention and plays an important role in human-computer interaction, physiological state monitoring, and other fields. Traditional sEMG signal acquisition systems are primarily targeted at body parts that are not in line with daily wearing habits, such as the arms, legs, and face. In addition, some systems rely on wired connections, which impacts their flexibility and user-friendliness. This paper presents a novel wrist-worn system with four sEMG acquisition channels and a high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) greater than 120 dB. The circuit has an overall gain of 2492 V/V and a bandwidth of 15~500 Hz. It is fabricated using flexible circuit technologies and is encapsulated in a soft skin-friendly silicone gel. The system acquires sEMG signals at a sampling rate of over 2000 Hz with a 16-bit resolution and transmits data to a smart device via low-power Bluetooth. Muscle fatigue detection and four-class gesture recognition experiments (accuracy greater than 95%) were conducted to validate its practicality. The system has potential applications in natural and intuitive human-computer interaction and physiological state monitoring.

Abstract
Non-destructive fluorophore diffusion across cell membranes to provide an unbiased fluorescence intensity readout is critical for quantitative imaging applications in live cells and tissues. Commercially available small-molecule fluorophores have been engineered for biological compatibility, imparting high water solubility by modifying rhodamine and cyanine dye scaffolds with multiple sulfonate groups. The resulting net negative charge, however, often renders these fluorophores cell-membrane-impermeant. Here we report the design and development of our biologically compatible, water-soluble and cell-membrane-permeable fluorophores, termed OregonFluor (ORFluor). By adapting previously established ratiometric imaging methodology using bio-affinity agents, it is now possible to use small-molecule ORFluor-labelled therapeutic inhibitors to quantitatively visualize their intracellular distribution and protein target-specific binding, providing a chemical toolkit for quantifying drug target availability in live cells and tissues.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effects and related mechanism of antibiotic bone cement in treating diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. From August 2020 to August 2022, 24 patients with DFU who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University. According to the block randomization, the patients were divided into 2 groups, with 12 patients in each group. In antibiotic bone cement group, there were 7 male and 5 female patients, aged (64±8) years, with the ulcer area of (41±21) cm2. In silver sulfadiazine group, there were 8 male and 4 female patients, aged (62±8) years, with the ulcer area of (38±19) cm2. Under the condition of ensuring the patency of at least one main inferior genicular artery in each patient, the continuous vacuum sealing drainage was performed for 3-5 days after thorough debridement. Thereafter, the wounds in antibiotic bone cement group were treated with gentamicin-laden bone cement, and the wounds in silver sulfadiazine group were treated with silver sulfadiazine cream for dressing change. After 3 weeks of dressing change, the wound was covered with split-thickness skin graft from the lateral thigh on the affected side. Before debridement and after 3 weeks of dressing change, the blood flow intensities of wound tissue and normal skin tissue in foot were measured using laser Doppler flowmeter, and then, the percentage of relative blood flow intensity of wound and the change rate of blood flow intensity were calculated. After 3 weeks of dressing change, the wound margin tissue was taken, the number of CD31-positive neovascular and the vascular morphology were observed and detected by immunohistochemical staining, the morphology of blood vessels surrounded by CD31 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) double-positive cells was observed by immunofluorescence staining, the cell proliferation activity was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining (denoted as the ratio of Ki67 positive cells), and the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) was detected by Western blotting. The skin graft survival was observed 3-5 days after skin grafting, and the wound healing time was recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test and Fisher's exact probability test. Results: The percentages of relative blood flow intensity of wounds of patients before debridement were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). After 3 weeks of dressing change, the percentage of relative blood flow intensity of wounds and the change rate of blood flow intensity of patients in antibiotic bone cement group were (44.7±2.0)% and (129±12)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (28.3±1.2)% and (41±8)% in silver sulfadiazine group (with t values of 24.15 and 20.97, respectively, P<0.05). After 3 weeks of dressing change, compared with those in silver sulfadiazine group, the number of CD31-positive neovascular in the wound margin tissue of patients in antibiotic bone cement group was significantly increased (t=33.81, P<0.05) with larger diameter and more regular arrangement, the vascular wall continuity surrounded by CD31 and α-SMA double-positive cells was better, and the ratio of Ki67 positive cells and protein expression of VEGFR2 were significantly increased (with t values of 40.97 and 47.38, respectively, P<0.05). On post skin grafting day 3-5, all the patients in antibiotic bone cement group and 8 patients in silver sulfadiazine group had good skin graft survival, while 4 patients in silver sulfadiazine group showed spotted/patchy skin graft necrosis, which were cured after corresponding treatment. The wound healing time of patients in antibiotic bone cement group was (47.1±2.9) d, which was significantly shorter than (58.8±2.3) d in silver sulfadiazine group (t=10.86, P<0.05). Conclusions: Compared with silver sulfadiazine, clinical application of antibiotic bone cement for treating DFU has the characteristics of accelerating wound healing and better reconstruction of local blood flow, which may be closely related to the fact that antibiotic bone cement promoted the local angiogenesis effectively in the wound through enhancing the expression of VEGFR2.

Abstract
Growing health awareness triggers the public's concern about health problems. People want a timely and comprehensive picture of their condition without frequent trips to the hospital for costly and cumbersome general check-ups. The wearable technique provides a continuous measurement method for health monitoring by tracking a person's physiological data and analyzing it locally or remotely. During the health monitoring process, different kinds of sensors convert physiological signals into electrical or optical signals that can be recorded and transmitted, consequently playing a crucial role in wearable techniques. Wearable application scenarios usually require sensors to possess excellent flexibility and stretchability. Thus, designing flexible and stretchable sensors with reliable performance is the key to wearable technology. Smart composite hydrogels, which have tunable electrical properties, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and multi-stimulus sensitivity, are one of the best sensitive materials for wearable health monitoring. This review summarizes the common synthetic and performance optimization strategies of smart composite hydrogels and focuses on the current application of smart composite hydrogels in the field of wearable health monitoring.

Abstract
The effect of final thermomechanical treatment (FTMT) on the mechanical properties and microstructure of a T-Mg32(Al Zn)49 phase precipitation hardened Al-5.8Mg-4.5Zn-0.5Cu alloy was studied. The as-cold rolled aluminum alloy samples were subjected sequentially to solid solution treatment, pre-deformation, and two-stage aging treatment. Vickers hardness was measured during the aging process under various parameters. Tensile tests were conducted on the representative samples based on the hardness results. Microstructural characteristics were analyzed via transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The conventional T6 process was also carried out for comparison. The hardness and tensile strength are increased evidently by the FTMT process for the Al-Mg-Zn-Cu alloy, while the ductility is adversely affected to a small extent. The precipitation at the T6 state consists of a coherent Guinier-Preston zone and T″ phase in the form of intragranular, fine, and spherical particles, while a semi-coherent T' phase appears after the FTMT process as a new constituent. The distribution of dislocation tangles and isolated dislocations is another feature of FTMT samples. Enhanced precipitation hardening and dislocation strengthening account for the improved mechanical performance of FTMT samples.

Abstract
In this work, a novel wire-shaped supercapacitor based on nylon yarn with a high specific capacitance and energy density was developed by designing an asymmetric configuration and integrating pseudocapacitive materials for both electrodes. The nylon/Ag/MnO2 yarn was prepared as a positive electrode by electrochemically depositing MnO2 on a silver-paste-coated nylon yarn. Additionally, PPy was prepared on nylon/Ag yarn by chemical polymerization firstly to enlarge the surface roughness of nylon/Ag, and then the PPy could be easily coated on the chemically polymerized nylon/Ag/PPy by electrochemical polymerization to obtain a nylon/Ag/PPy yarn-shaped negative electrode. The wire-shaped asymmetric supercapacitor (WASC) was fabricated by assembling the nylon/Ag/MnO2 electrode, nylon/Ag/PPy electrode and PAANa/Na2SO4 gel electrolyte. This WASC showed a wide potential window of 1.6 V and a high energy density varying from 13.9 to 4.2 μWh cm-2 with the corresponding power density changing from 290 to 2902 μW cm-2. Meanwhile, because of the high flexibility of the nylon substrate and superior adhesion of active materials, the WASC showed a good electrochemical performance stability under different bending conditions, suggesting its good flexibility. The promising performance of this novel WASC is of great potential for wearable/portable devices in the future.

Abstract
TFEB (transcription factor EB) regulates multiple genes involved in the process of macroautophagy/autophagy and plays a critical role in lifespan determination. However, the detailed mechanisms that regulate TFEB activity are not fully clear. In this study, we identified a role for HSP90AA1 in modulating TFEB. HSP90AA1 was phosphorylated by CDK5 at Ser 595 under basal condition. This phosphorylation inhibited HSP90AA1, disrupted its binding to TFEB, and impeded TFEB's nuclear localization and subsequent autophagy induction. Pro-autophagy signaling attenuated CDK5 activity and enhanced TFEB function in an HSP90AA1-dependent manner. Inhibition of HSP90AA1 function or decrease in its expression significantly attenuated TFEB's nuclear localization and transcriptional function following autophagy induction. HSP90AA1-mediated regulation of a TFEB ortholog was involved in the extended lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans in the absence of its food source bacteria. Collectively, these findings reveal that this regulatory process plays an important role in modulation of TFEB, autophagy, and longevity.Abbreviations : AL: autolysosome; AP: autophagosome; ATG: autophagy related; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; CDK5: cyclin-dependent kinase 5; CDK5R1: cyclin dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit 1; CR: calorie restriction; FUDR: 5-fluorodeoxyuridine; HSP90AA1: heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1; MAP1LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; NB: novobiocin sodium; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TFEB: transcription factor EB; WT: wild type.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes (transition metal carbide or carbonitride) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as appealing electrode materials for supercapacitors due to the advantages of each material and a 2D structure. However, a solitary MXene or MOF suffers from either inadequate redox reactive sites or low electronic conductivity and instability. Here, NiCo-MOF/MXene heterostructures are fabricated by assembling ultrathin 2D bimetallic NiCo-MOF nanosheets on exfoliated MXene nanosheets by a simple room-temperature ultrasonic method. The 2D/2D NiCo-MOF/MXene heterostructures combine the advantages of a MOF, MXene and hierarchical structure, i.e. a large surface area, a highly electrically conductive network, rapid ion diffusion and structural stability. As a result, the optimal NiCo-MOF/M10 electrode exhibits a highly improved capacitance (1176.8 F g-1vs. 653.4 F g-1) and cycle life (72.5% vs. 50.5%), compared with the pristine NiCo-MOF. Moreover, a two-electrode cell using NiCo-MOF/M10 as the cathode shows outstanding energy storage capability. This study provides an opportunity to enhance energy storage by designing 2D heterostructures.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is widely explored in supercapacitors on account of its high capacity, adjustable composition and easy synthesis process. Unfortunately, solitary LDH still has great limitations as an electrode material due to its shortcomings, such as poor conductivity and easy agglomeration. Herein, nanoflakes assembled NiCo-LDH hollow nanocages derived from a metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor are strung by CuO nanorods formed from etching and oxidation of copper foam (CF), forming hierarchical CuO@NiCo-LDH heterostructures. The as-synthesized CuO@NiCo-LDH/CF shows a large capacitance (5607 mF cm-2 at 1 mA cm-2 ), superior rate performance (88.3 % retention at 10 mA cm-2 ) and impressive cycling durability (93.1 % capacitance is retained after 5000 cycles), which is significantly superior to control CuO/CF, CuO@ZIF-67/CF, NiCo-LDH/CF and Cu(OH)2 @NiCo-LDH/CF electrodes. Besides, an asymmetrical supercapacitor consists of CuO@NiCo-LDH/CF and activated carbon displays a maximum energy density of 47.3 Wh kg-1 , and its capacitance only declines by 6.8 % after 10000 cycles, demonstrating remarkable cycling durability. The advantages of highly conductive and robust CuO nanorods, MOF-derived hollow structure and the core-shell heterostructure contribute to the outstanding electrochemical performance. This synthesis strategy can be extended to design various core-shell heterostructures adopted in versatile electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Amino acids are the most simplistic bio-building blocks and perform a variety of functions in metabolic activities. Increasing publications report that amino acid-based superstructures present amyloid-like characteristics, arising from their supramolecular β-sheet secondary structures driven by hydrogen-bonding-connected supramolecular β-strands, which are formed by head-to-tail hydrogen bonds between terminal amino and carboxyl groups of the adjacent residues. Therefore, the establishment of the structure-function relationships is critical for exploring the properties and applications of amino acid assemblies. Among the naturally encoded self-assembling amino acids, tyrosine (Y)-based superstructures have been found to show diverse properties and functions including high rigidity, promoting melanin formations, mood regulations, and preventing anxiety, thus showing promising potential as next-generation functional biomaterials for biomedical and bio-machine interface applications. However, the development of Y-based organizations of functional features is severely limited due to the intrinsic difficulty of modulating the energetically stable supramolecular β-sheet structures. Herein, we report that by the racemic assembly of l-Y and d-Y, the supramolecular secondary structures are modulated from the antiparallel β-sheets in the enantiomeric assemblies to the parallel ones in the racemate counterparts, thus leading to higher degrees of freedom, which finally induce distinct organization kinetics and modulation of the physicochemical properties including the optical shifts, elastic softening, and the piezoelectric outputs of the superstructures.

Abstract
Introduction: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the advantages of syndrome differentiation and rapid determination of etiology, and many TCM prescriptions have been applied to the clinical treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Among them, Jinbei Oral Liquid (Jb.L) has also shown an obvious curative effect in the clinic, but the related material basic research is relatively limited. Methods: Therefore, in this process, a systematic data acquisition and mining strategy was established using ultra-high- performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). Results and Discussion: With the optimized conditions, a total of 118 peaks were tentatively characterized, including 43 flavonoids, 26 phenylpropanoids, 14 glycosides, 9 phthalides, 8 alkaloids and others. To determine the content of relevant pharmacological ingredients, we firstly exploited the ultra-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) method for simultaneous detection of 31 active ingredients within 17 min, and the validation of methodology showed that this method has good precision and accuracy. Moreover, analyzing the pharmacology of 31 individual of the medicinal material preliminarily confirmed the efficacy of Jb.L and laid a foundation for an in-depth study of network pharmacology.

Abstract
Stretchable hydrogel-based strain sensors suffer from limited sensitivity, which urgently requires further breakthroughs for precise and stable human-computer interaction. Here, an efficient microstructural engineering strategy is proposed to significantly enhance the sensitivity of hydrogel-based strain sensors by sandwiching an emulsion-polymerized polyacrylamide organohydrogel microsphere membrane between two Ecoflex films, which are accompanied by crack generation and propagation effects upon stretching. Consequently, the as-developed strain sensor exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity (gauge factor (GF) of 1275), wide detection range (100% strain), low hysteresis, ultralow detection limit (0.05% strain), good fatigue resistance, and low fabrication cost. In addition, the sensor features good water, dehydration, and frost resistance, enabling real-time strain monitoring in various complex conditions due to the encapsulation of Ecoflex film and the addition of glycerol and KCl. Through further structural manipulation, the device achieves superior response to tiny strains, with a GF value of 98.3 in the strain range of less than 1.5%. Owing to the high strain sensing performance, the sensor is able to detect various human activities from swallowing to finger bending even under water. On this basis, a wireless sensing system with apnea warning and single-channel gesture recognition capabilities is successfully demonstrated, demonstrating its great promise as wearable electronics.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) morbidity and mortality have been increasing in recent years. Otubain 2 (OTUB2) was shown to be upregulated in EC patients, so the aim of this study was to explore the role of OTUB2 in EC. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the wound healing assay, and Transwell invasion assays were used to investigate the specific role of OTUB2 in EC tumorigenesis. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of OTUB2 in EC tissues and cells. OTUB2 is upregulated in EC patients and cell lines and is associated with a poor prognosis. The overexpression of OTUB2 promoted glycolysis and induced the proliferation, migration, and invasion of endometrial cancer cells. The silencing of OTUB2 had the opposite effect. In addition, the silencing of OTUB2 significantly suppressed the expression levels of PKM2. Importantly, inhibition of the PKM2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway significantly reversed the promoting effect of OTUB2 overexpression on EC. OTUB2 regulated the proliferation and invasion of EC cells by regulating the PKM2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. OTUB2 may serve as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target in EC.

Abstract
MOF/inorganic nanocomposites combine the advantages of each component. Herein, two MOF/metal selenite nanocomposites, Co-NH2-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O and Co-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O, are prepared on nickel foam through a facile two-step hydrothermal method, which inherit the 2D morphology and porosity properties of their MOF precursors. Furthermore, during the electrochemical activation process, the crystallized nanocomposites can easily transform into amorphous structures in a short time of 20 min in the presence of an electric field, similar to CoSeO3·H2O. Due to amorphization, the electrochemical performance of the two nanocomposites is much enhanced relative to that of their MOF precursors. Specifically, the areal capacitances of Co-NH2-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O and Co-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O are 5.35 and 10.65 F·cm-2 at 2 mA·cm-2, respectively. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) using Co-NH2-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O as positive electrodes delivers an energy density of 0.207 mWh·cm-2 at a power density of 0.799 mW·cm-2 with outstanding cycling stability (93% capacity retention after 5000 cycles). Using Co-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O as positive electrodes, the ASC can reach a high energy density of 0.483 mWh·cm-2 at a power density of 0.741 mW·cm-2 and 84% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. This work provides an efficient strategy for constructing MOF/metal selenite nanocomposites for energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of exosomes from hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-modified human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) on full-thickness skin defect wounds in diabetic mice. Methods: The experimental study method was adopted. Discarded adipose tissue of 3 healthy females (10-25 years old) who underwent abdominal surgery in the Department of Plastic Surgery of First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from February to May 2021 was collected, and primary ADSCs were obtained by collagenase digestion method and cultured for 7 days. Cell morphology was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope. The ADSCs of third passage were transfected with HGF lentivirus and cultured for 5 days, and then the fluorescence of cells was observed by imaging system and the transfection rate was calculated. The exosomes of ADSCs of the third to sixth passages and the HGF transfected ADSCs of the third to sixth passages were extracted by density gradient centrifugation, respectively, and named, ADSC exosomes and HGF-ADSC exosomes. The microscopic morphology of exosomes was observed by transmission electron microscopy, and the positive expressions of CD9, CD63, and CD81 of exosomes were detected by flow cytometry, respectively. Twenty-four 6-week-old male Kunming mice were selected to make the diabetic models, and full-thickness skin defect wounds were made on the backs of mice. According to the random number table method, the mice were divided into phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group, HGF alone group, ADSC exosome alone group, and HGF-ADSC exosome group, with 6 mice in each group, and treated accordingly. On post injury day (PID) 3, 7, 10, and 14, the wounds were observed and the wound healing rate was calculated; the blood flow intensity of wound base was detected by Doppler flowmeter and the ratio of relative blood flow intensity on PID 10 was calculated. On PID 10, the number of Ki67 positive cells in wounds was detected by immunofluorescence method, and the number of new-vascularity of CD31 positive staining and tubular neovascularization in the wounds was detected by immunohistochemistry method; the protein expressions of protein endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) in wounds were detected by Western blotting, and the ratios of p-PI3K to PI3K and p-Akt to Akt were calculated. On PID 14, the defect length and collagen regeneration of wound skin tissue were detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson staining, respectively, and the collagen volume fraction (CVF) was calculated. The number of samples is 3 in all cases. Data were statistically analyzed with repeated measurement analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey test. Results: After 7 days of culture, the primary ADSCs were spindle shaped and arranged in vortex shape after dense growth. After 5 days of culture, HGF transfected ADSCs of the third passage carried green fluorescence, and the transfection rate was 85%. The ADSC exosomes and HGF-ADSC exosomes were similar in microscopic morphology, showing vesicular structures with an average particle size of 103 nm and 98 nm respectively, and both were CD9, CD63, and CD81 positive. On PID 3, the wounds of mice in the 4 groups were all red and swollen, with a small amount of exudate. On PID 7, the wounds of HGF-ADSC exosome group were gradually reduced, while the wounds of the other three groups were not significantly reduced. On PID 10, the wounds in the 4 groups were all reduced and scabbed. On PID 14, the wounds in HGF-ADSC exosome group were basically healed, while the residual wounds were found in the other three groups. On PID 3, the healing rates of wounds in the four groups were similar (P>0.05); On PID 7 and 10, the wound healing rates in HGF-ADSC exosome group were significantly higher than those in PBS group, HGF alone group, and ADSC exosome alone group, respectively (with q values of 13.11, 13.11, 11.89, 12.85, 11.28, and 7.74, respectively, all P<0.01); on PID 14, the wound healing rate in HGF-ADSC exosome group was significantly higher than that in PBS group, HGF alone group, and ADSC exosome alone group (with q values of 15.50, 11.64, and 6.36, respectively, all P<0.01). On PID 3, there was no obvious blood supply in wound base of mice in the 4 groups. On PID 7, microvessels began to form in the wound base of HGF-ADSC exosome group, while the wound base of the other three groups was only congested at the wound edge. On PID 10, microvessel formation in wound base was observed in the other 3 groups except in PBS group, which had no obvious blood supply. On PID 14, the blood flow intensity of wound base in HGF-ADSC exosome group was stronger than that in the other 3 groups, and the distribution was uniform. On PID 10, the ratio of wound base relative blood flow intensity in HGF-ADSC exosome group was significantly higher than that in PBS group, HGF alone group, and ADSC exosome alone group (with q values of 23.73, 19.32, and 9.48, respectively, all P<0.01); The numbers of Ki67-positive cells and new-vascularity of wounds in HGF-ADSC exosome group were significantly higher than those in PBS group, HGF alone group, and ADSC exosome alone group, respectively (with q values of 19.58, 18.20, 11.04, 20.68, 13.79, and 8.12, respectively, P<0.01). On PID 10, the protein expression level of eNOS of wounds in HGF-ADSC exosome group was higher than that in PBS group, HGF alone group, and ADSC exosome alone group (with q values of 53.23, 42.54, and 26.54, respectively, all P<0.01); the ratio of p-PI3K to PI3K and the ratio of p-Akt to Akt of wounds in HGF-ADSC exosome group were significantly higher than those in PBS group, HGF alone group, and ADSC exosome alone group, respectively (with q values of 16.11, 11.78, 6.08, 65.54, 31.63, and 37.86, respectively, P<0.01). On PID 14, the length of skin tissue defect in the wounds of HGF-ADSC exosome group was shorter than that in PBS group, HGF alone group, and ADSC exosome alone group (with q values of 20.51, 18.50, and 11.99, respectively, all P<0.01); the CVF of wounds in HGF-ADSC exosome group was significantly higher than that in PBS group, HGF alone group and ADSC exosome alone group (with q values of 31.31, 28.52, and 12.35, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions: Human HGF-ADSC exosomes can significantly promote wound healing in diabetic mice by increasing neovascularization in wound tissue, and the mechanism may be related to the increased expression of eNOS in wounds by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
