Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Two peanut LEC1-type genes exhibit partial functional redundancy. AhNFYB10 could complement almost all the defective phenotypes of lec1-2 in terms of embryonic morphology, while AhNF-YB1 could partially affect these phenotypes. LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) is a member of the nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) family of transcription factors and has been identified as a key regulator of embryonic development. In the present study, two LEC1-type genes from Arachis hypogeae were identified and designated as AhNF-YB1 and AhNF-YB10; these genes belong to subgenome A and subgenome B, respectively. The functions of AhNF-YB1 and AhNF-YB10 were investigated by complementation analysis of their defective phenotypes of the Arabidopsis lec1-2 mutant and by ectopic expression in wild-type Arabidopsis. The results indicated that both AhNF-YB1 and AhNF-YB10 participate in regulating embryogenesis, embryo development, and reserve deposition in cotyledons and that they have partial functional redundancy. In contrast, AhNF-YB10 complemented almost all the defective phenotypes of lec1-2 in terms of embryonic morphology and hypocotyl length, while AhNF-YB1 had only a partial effect. In addition, 30-40% of the seeds of the AhNF-YB1 transformants exhibited a decreasing germination ratio and longevity. Therefore, appropriate spatiotemporal expression of these genes is necessary for embryo morphogenesis at the early development stage and is responsible for seed maturation at the mid-late development stage. On the other hand, overexpression of AhNF-YB1 or AhNF-YB10 at the middle to late stages of Arabidopsis seed development improved the weight, oil content, and fatty acid composition of the transgenic seeds. Moreover, the expression levels of several genes associated with fatty acid synthesis and embryogenesis were significantly greater in developing AhNF-YB10-overexpressing seeds than in control seeds. This study provides a theoretical basis for breeding oilseed crops with high yields and high oil content.

Abstract
Backgrounds This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcome of intramedullary nail supplemented by buttress plate or cable in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture with broken lateral wall. Methods From May 2015 to January 2022, patients with unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures underwent intramedullary fixations strengthened with buttress plates or cables, which depended on the lateral femur wall fragment type. The clinical and radiographic results were compared between the two groups. The hip function was evaluated according to the Harris Hip Scoring (HHS) system. Results Forty-one patients who sustained intertrochanteric fracture + broken lateral wall were enrolled. Of these, thirty-four received a minimum of twelve months of follow-ups. No statistically significant differences in baseline and operative data were proved between these groups (p > 0.05). Three patients were observed fat liquefaction after surgery (plate group: 2 cases, cable group: 1 case). All patients could sustain partial/full weight-bearing and no case underwent subsequent operation. The HHS of the last follow-up presented 83.6 ± 4.9 points in the plate group and 83.8 ± 3.7 points in the cable group. Conclusions Intertrochanteric femoral fracture with broken lateral wall is an unstable injury type, the operative treatments of which have been challenging and controversial over the years. Augmentation of intramedullary nailing system using plate/cable contributes to reconstructing the lateral femur wall.

Abstract
Bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response and ferroptosis play an important role in urinary tract infections. Tolterodine has been used as a urinary tract antispasmodic and anticholinergic agent. However, the effects of Tolterodine against LPS-induced insults in human bladder epithelial cells (hBECs) have not been reported before. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and lactate dehydrogenase release assays to determine the cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde level detection were used to determine the level of oxidative stress, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analysis were used to detect the protein level. In the current study, we found that Tolterodine ameliorated LPS-induced production of ROS and lipid oxidation in hBECs. Interestingly, Tolterodine inhibited the production of interleukin 6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor α. Also, Tolterodine reduced the levels of Fe2+ and suppressed ferroptosis by reducing the levels of glutathione peroxidase 4, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2, and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 in LPS-challenged bladder epithelial cells. Mechanistically, it was shown that Tolterodine restored the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/nuclear factor-κB signaling. Importantly, inhibition of Nrf2 with its specific inhibitor ML385 abolished the protective effects of Tolterodine in the inflammatory response and ferroptosis, suggesting that the effects of Tolterodine are mediated by Nrf2. Based on these findings, we conclude that Tolterodine might serve as a promising agent for the treatment of LPS-induced bladder inflammation.

Abstract
The highly selective electrochemical conversion of methanol to formate is of great significance for various clean energy devices, but understanding the structure-to-property relationship remains unclear. Here, the asymmetric charge polarized NiCo prussian blue analogue (NiCo PBA-100) is reported to exhibit remarkable catalytic performance with high current density (210 mA cm-2 @1.65 V vs RHE) and Faraday efficiency (over 90%). Meanwhile, the hybrid water splitting and Zinc-methanol-battery assembled by NiCo PBA-100 display the promoted performance with decent stability. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and operando Raman spectroscopy indicate that the asymmetric charge polarization in NiCo PBA leads to more unoccupied states of Ni and occupied states of Co, thereby facilitating the rapid transformation of the high-active catalytic centers. Density functional theory calculations combining operando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrate that the final reconstructed catalyst derived by NiCo PBA-100 exhibits rearranged d band properties along with a lowered energy barrier of the rate-determining step and favors the desired formate production.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Several single gene mutations involved in PD have been identified such as leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), the most common cause of sporadic and familial PD. Its mutations have attracted much attention to therapeutically targeting this kinase. To date, many compounds including small chemical molecules with diverse scaffolds and RNA agents have been developed with significant amelioration in preclinical PD models. Currently, five candidates, DNL201, DNL151, WXWH0226, NEU-723 and BIIB094, have advanced to clinical trials for PD treatment. In this review, we describe the structure, pathogenic mutations and the mechanism of LRRK2, and summarize the development of LRRK2 inhibitors in preclinical and clinical studies, trying to provide an insight into targeting LRRK2 for PD intervention in future.

Abstract
Flexible sensors produced through three-dimensional (3D) printing have exhibited promising results in the context of underwater sensing detection (for applications in navigational vehicles and human activities). However, underwater vehicles and activities such as swimming and diving are highly susceptible to drag, which can cause negative impacts such as reduced speed and increased energy consumption. Additionally, microbial adhesion can shorten the service life of these vehicles. However, natural organisms are able to circumvent such problems, with shark skin offering excellent barrier properties and ruffled papillae providing effective protection against fouling. Here, we show that a sandwich system consisting of a spraying layer, conductive elastomer composite, and encapsulation layer can be printed for multifunctional integrated underwater sensors. The modulated viscoelastic properties of liquid metal form the foundation for printing features, while its pressure-activated properties offer the potential for switchable sensors. An integrated drag reduction and antifouling layer were created by combining the shark skin surface shield scale structure with the lotus leaf surface papillae structure. A 3D-printed flexible sensor was designed using our approach to monitor attitude changes and strain in underwater environments, showcasing its capabilities. Our printed sensors can reduce biological attachment density by more than 50% and reduce underwater drag by 8.6-10.3%.

Abstract
Layered narrow bandgap quasi-two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) demonstrated excellent performance in long-wave infrared (LWIR) detection. However, the low light on/off ratio and specific detectivity (D*) due to the high dark current of the device fabricated using a single narrow bandgap material hindered its wide application. Herein, we report a type-III broken-gap band-alignment WSe2/PdSe2 van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure. The heterodiode device has a prominently low dark current and exhibits a high photoresponsivity (R) of 55.3 A W-1 and a high light on/off ratio >105 in the visible range. Notably, the WSe2/PdSe2 heterodiode shows an excellent uncooled LWIR response, with an R of ∼0.3 A W-1, a low noise equivalence power (NEP) of 4.5 × 10-11 W Hz-1/2, and a high D* of 1.8 × 108 cm Hz1/2 W-1. This work provides a new approach for designing high-performance room-temperature operational LWIR photodetectors.

Abstract
Electrochemical supercapacitors have attracted significant attention due to their large capacity, high-power output, and long cycle life. However, despite extensive studies and advancements in developing highly porous electrode materials, little quantitative research on the impact of pore geometry on electrochemical responses has been conducted. This paper presents the first quantitative investigation of the relationship between electrochemical capacitive responses and pore geometries at the nanoscale. To achieve this, we constructed a uniform cylindrical pore array with controllable pore diameter and depth by using anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) to serve as a template and atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology for TiN conductive layer decoration. Our findings reveal that, at the nanoscale, increasing the specific surface area through pore diameter and depth does not proportionally increase the capacitive response, even at low scan rates. Meanwhile, we observe a critical pore parameter (170/5000 nm, diameter/depth), where the specific capacitance density and characteristic frequency dramatically decrease with a further increase in the pore aspect ratio. These results indicate that blindly pursuing the absolute specific surface area of the electrode material is not advisable. Instead, optimal pore geometry should be designed based on the desired operational conditions, and this work may serve as valuable guidance.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To observe the efficacy and safety of local radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy ± bevacizumab in the treatment of patients with advanced or recurrent metastatic cervical cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 53 patients with advanced and recurrent metastatic cervical cancer who had received local radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy ± bevacizumab in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from July 2018 to October 2021 were collected. The recurrence types included 21 patients of pelvic recurrence, 7 patients of distant metastasis, 14 patients of complex pelvic recurrence and distant metastasis, and 11 patients of advanced stage (initial diagnosis stage IVB). The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and incidence of adverse reactions. RESULTS (1) Complete response (CR) was achieved in 4 patients (7.5%), partial response (PR) in 34 patients (64.2%), stable disease (SD) in 12 patients (22.6%), and disease progression (PD) in 3 patients (5.7%), ORR was 71.7%, DCR was 94.3%. (2) The follow-up time was 5.3 to 45.7 months, the median OS was 29.3 months, the median PFS was 15.7 months, the one-year and two-year OS were 83.0% and 59.2%, and the 1-year and two-year PFS were 62.2% and 34.4%. (3) Recurrence type, tumor size at the time of recurrence, and efficacy after radiotherapy were significant factors for PFS and OS rates in multivariate analysis. (4) The main adverse reactions were myelosuppression, gastrointestinal reaction and urinary reaction. Grade IV leukopenia occurred at 13.2%, grade IV neutropenia at 11.3%, grade IV thrombocytopenia at 15.1%, and grade IV anemia at 5.7%, all of which were tolerable. The gastrointestinal and urinary reactions were mainly grade I-II, and the incidence of vesical or rectovaginal fistulas was about 7.5% (2 patients had rectovaginal fistulas and 2 patients had vesto-vaginal fistulas). CONCLUSION Local radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy ± bevacizumab can improve the efficacy and survival of patients with advanced and recurrent metastatic cervical cancer. Adverse reactions are tolerable and may provide survival benefits in these patients.

Abstract
Objective To analyze the effects of sodium hyaluronate administration on the serum levels of antioxidase, substance P (SP), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in patients undergoing locking plate fixation (LPF) for tibial plateau fractures (TPF). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the records of 66 patients with TPF who received treatment in the Beijing Chao-yang Hospital[PJMS1][2] from February 2017 to August 2020. According to the treatment records, 33 patients underwent LPF surgery (control-group), and 33 patients underwent LPF plus sodium hyaluronate treatment (observation-group). The levels of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC)), SP and NPY. Results Seven days after LPF operations, both groups showed lower levels of SOD, CAT, and TAC compared to pre-surgery levels, while levels of SP and NPY were higher. However, the observation group showed higher levels of SOD, CAT, and TAC compared to the control group, and lower levels of SP and NPY in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The treatment of TPF with LPF plus sodium hyaluronate administration has been shown to effectively reduce oxidative stress reactions, improve SP and NPY levels.[PJMS3][4].

Abstract
Realizing a highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process is of great significance for hydrogen energy development. The main challenge still lies in fabricating superior electrocatalysts with favorable performance. Constructing electrocatalysts with ingenious lattice modifications is a considerable way for the rational design of highly active catalytic centers. Here, theoretical calculations predict that the lattice incorporation of Se atoms can effectively enhance the reaction activity of OER with a decreased energy barrier for the rate-determining step. To obtain the corresponding desired electrocatalyst, the optimized lattice Se-modified CoOOH, with the ideal OER performance of low overpotential and stability, was delicately designed and fabricated by the electrochemical activation of the Co0.85Se precatalyst. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) demonstrates that lattice incorporation is more likely to be generated in Co0.85Se compared to CoSe2 and CoO precatalysts, which promoted the subsequent OER process. This work clarified the correlation between the precatalyst and the lattice-modified final catalyst in connection with electrochemical reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin (BTX) for motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD). DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Searches of PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library, from database inception to 20 October 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies reported in English with adult PD patients treated with BTX. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Primary outcomes were United Parkinson's Disease Rate Scale Section (UPDRS) III (or its items) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes were UPDRS-II (or its items), Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOG-Q), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Mean difference (MD) or standardised MD (SMD) before and after treatment with 95% CIs were used for continuous variables and risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs was used for TRAEs. RESULTS Six randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and six non-RCTs (case series) were included (ntotal=224 participants, nRCT=165). No significant difference was found in pooled results of UPDRS-III (available in four RCTs and two non-RCTs, SMD=-0.19, 95% CI -0.98 to 0.60), UPDRS-II (four RCTs and one non-RCT, SMD=-0.55, 95% CI -1.22 to 0.13), FOG-Q (one RCT and one non-RCT, SMD=0.53, 95% CI -1.93 to 2.98) or the risk of TRAEs (five RCTs, RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.37 to 2.01). Significant decreases were found in pooled VAS score (three RCTs and five non-RCTs, MD=-2.14, 95% CI -3.05 to -1.23) and TUG (MD=-2.06, 95% CI -2.91 to -1.20) after BTX treatment. CONCLUSIONS BTX may not be associated with motor symptoms alleviation, although it benefits pain alleviation and functional mobility improvement.

Abstract
Background There is still a large demand for effective treatments to delay disease deterioration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Typical symptoms of ALS are considered "flaccidity syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Huoling Shengji Granule (HLSJ) is a TCM formula used to treat flaccidity syndrome. Results of preclinical tests and a previous clinical study support HLSJ as a novel drug for ALS patients. This trial proposed to examine whether a 48-week course of HLSJ is effective and safe for ALS patients diagnosed with the Chinese medicine syndrome of spleen qi insufficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Methods and analysis In this phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, riluzole parallel-controlled, superiority-design study, eligible participants had the equal opportunity to be assigned to receive either HLSJ or riluzole randomly. Eleven specialized ALS centers in Mainland China will recruit 144 patients for this trial. The primary and secondary outcomes included the change in the ALSFRS-R score and the Rasch-Built Overall Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Disability Scale (ROADS) from baseline to Week 48. Discussion Here, we endeavored to evaluate TCM for ALS using a standard evidence-based approach for the first time. In addition, the ROADS, a self-report linear-weighted questionnaire, was selected as a secondary outcome measure. We expect to offer a new reference for the outcome evaluation of ALS trials.Clinical trial registration:http://www.Chictr.org.cn, identifier ChiCTR2100044085.

Abstract
Metal phthalocyanine (MPc) materials with well-defined MN4 moiety offers a platform for catalyzing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), while their practical performances are often limited by the insufficient O2 adsorption due to the planar MN4 nature. Here, we proposed a design (called as Gr-MG -O-MP Pc) that the metal of MPc (MP ) is axially coordinated to a single metal atom in graphene (Gr-MG ) through a bridge-bonded oxygen atom (O), introducing effective out-of-plane polarization to promote O2 adsorption on MPc. Manipulating the out-of-plane polarization charge by varying types of MP and MG (MP = Fe/Co/Ni, MG = Ti/V/Cr/Mn/Fe/Co/Ni) in the axial coordination zone of -MG -O-MP - were examined by density functional theory simulations. Among them, the catalyst of Gr-V-O-FePc stands out with the highest calculated O2 adsorption energy, which was synthesized successfully and verified by systemic X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements. Importantly, it delivered a remarkable ORR performance with half-wave potential of 0.925 V (versus RHE) and kinetic current density of 26.7 mA cm-2 . This thus demonstrates a new and simple way to pursue high catalytic performance by inducing out-of-plane polarization in catalysts. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Photic niche shifts of mammals are associated with changing visual capabilities, primarily mediated by three visual pigments, two (SWS1 and M/LWS) of them for color vision and rhodopsin (RH1) for dim-light vision. To further elucidate molecular mechanisms of mammalian visual adaptations to different light environments, a systematic study incorporating evolutionary analyses across diverse groups and in vitro assays have been carried out. Here, we collected gene sequences for the three opsins from 220 species covering all major mammalian clades. After screening for cone opsin gene losses, we estimated selective pressures on each of the three genes and compared the levels of selection experienced by species living in bright- and dim-light environments. SWS1 pigment is shown to experience accelerated evolution in species living in bright-light environments as has RH1 in aquatic cetaceans, indicating potential shifts for ecological adaptations. To further elucidate the functional mechanisms for these two pigments, we then carried out site-directed mutagenesis in representative taxa. For SWS1, violet and ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity in the pika and mouse are mainly affected by substitutions at the critical sites 86 and 93, which have strong epistatic interaction. For RH1, the phenotypic difference between the sperm whale and bovine sequences is largely contributed by a substitution at site 195, which could be critical for dim-light sensation for deep-diving species. Different evolutionary patterns for the visual pigments have been identified in mammals, which correspond to photic niches, although additional phenotypic assays are still required to fully explain the functional mechanisms.

Abstract
Broad-bandgap semiconductor-based solar-blind ultraviolet (SBUV) photodetectors have attracted considerable research interest because of their broad applications in missile plume tracking, flame detectors, environmental monitoring, and optical communications due to their solar-blind nature and high sensitivity with low background radiation. Owing to its high light absorption coefficient, abundance, and wide tunable bandgap of 2-2.6 eV, tin disulfide (SnS2) has emerged as one of the most promising compounds for application in UV-visible optoelectronic devices. However, SnS2 UV detectors have some undesirable properties such as slow response speed, high current noise level, and low specific detectivity. This study reports a metal mirror-enhanced Ta0.01W0.99Se2/SnS2 (TWS) van der Waals heterodiode-based SBUV photodetector with an ultrahigh photoresponsivity (R) of ∼1.85 × 104 AW-1 and a fast speed with rising time (τr) of 3.3 μs and decay time (τd) of 3.4 μs. Notably, the TWS heterodiode device exhibits a significantly low noise equivalent power of ∼1.02 × 10-18 W Hz-1/2 and a high specific detectivity of ∼3.65 × 1014 cm Hz1/2 W-1. This study provides an alternative method for designing fast-speed SBUV photodetectors with enormous potential in applications.

Abstract
BiFeO3-based ceramics possess an advantage over large spontaneous polarization and high Curie temperature, and are thus widely explored in the field of high-temperature lead-free piezoelectrics and actuators. However, poor piezoelectricity/resistivity and thermal stability of electrostrain make them less competitive. To address this problem, (1 - x) (0.65BiFeO3-0.35BaTiO3)-xLa0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BF-BT-xLNT) systems are designed in this work. It is found that piezoelectricity is significantly improved with LNT addition, which is contributed by the phase boundary effect of rhombohedral and pseudocubic phase coexistence. The small-signal and large-signal piezoelectric coefficient (d33 and d33*) peaks at x = 0.02 with 97 pC/N and 303 pm/V, respectively. The relaxor property and resistivity are enhanced as well. This is verified by Rietveld refinement, dielectric/impedance spectroscopy and piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) technique. Interestingly, a good thermal stability of electrostrain is obtained at x = 0.04 composition with fluctuation η = 31% (Smax'-SRTSRT×100%), in a wide temperature range of 25-180 °C, which is considered as a compromise of negative temperature dependent electrostrain for relaxors and the positive one for ferroelectric matrix. This work provides an implication for designing high-temperature piezoelectrics and stable electrostrain materials.

Abstract
The recent discovery of superconductivity (SC) and charge density wave (CDW) in kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) provides an ideal playground for the study of emergent electronic orders. Application of moderate pressure leads to a two-dome-shaped SC phase regime in CsV3Sb5 accompanied by the destabilizing of CDW phase. Nonetheless, the nature of this pressure-tuned SC state and its interplay with the CDW are yet to be explored. Here, we perform soft point-contact spectroscopy (SPCS) measurements in CsV3Sb5 to investigate the evolution of superconducting order parameter with pressure. Surprisingly, we find that the superconducting gap is significantly enhanced between the two SC domes, at which the zero-resistance temperature is suppressed and the transition is remarkably broadened. Moreover, the temperature-dependence of the SC gap in this pressure range severely deviates from the conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) behavior, evidencing for strong Cooper pair phase fluctuations. These findings reveal the complex intertwining of the CDW with SC in the compressed CsV3Sb5, suggesting striking parallel to the cuprate superconductor La2-xBaxCuO4. Our results point to the essential role of charge degree of freedom in the development of intertwining electronic orders, and thus provide new constraints for theories.

Abstract
High-precision piezo actuators necessitate dielectrics with high electrostrain performance with low hysteresis. Polarity-modulated (Sr0.7Bi0.2□0.1)TiO3-based ceramics exhibit extraordinarily discrete multiphase coexistence regions: (i) the relaxor phase coexistence (RPC) region with local weakly polar tetragonal (T) and pseudocubic (Pc) short-range polar nanodomains and (ii) the ferroelectric phase coexistence (FPC) region with T long-range domains and Pc nanodomains. The RPC composition features a specially high and pure electrostrain performance with near-zero hysteresis (S ∼ 0.185%, Q33 ∼ 0.038 m4·C-2), which is double those of conventional Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-based ceramics. Particular interest is paid to the RPC and FPC with multiscale characterization to unravel local structure-performance relationships. Guided by piezoelectric force microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and phase-field simulations, the RPC composition with multiphase low-angle weakly polar nanodomains shows local structural heterogeneity and contributes to a flat local free energy profile and thus to nanodomain switching and superior electrostrain performance, in contrast to the FPC composition with a macroscopic domain that shows stark hysteresis. This work provides a paradigm to design high-precision actuator materials with large electrostrain and ultralow hysteresis, extending our knowledge of multiphase coexistence species in ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effect of macrophage exosomal long non-coding (lnc)RNAs on bone mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenesis and the associated mechanism. Methods Rat BMSCs and spleen macrophages were co-cultured with serum derived from the fracture microenvironment of rat tibia. BMSC osteogenesis was evaluated using Alizarin red staining and the expression of BMP-2, RUNX2, OPN, and OC mRNA. BMSC osteogenesis was evaluated after co-culture with macrophages stimulated using hypoxic conditions or colony-stimulating factor (CSF). The uptake of macrophage-derived exosomes by BMSCs was evaluated using the exosome uptake assay. High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were performed to identify key lncRNAs in the macrophage exosomes. The effect of lncRNA expression levels on BMSC osteogenesis was also assessed using a lncRNA overexpression plasmid and siRNA technology. M1 and M2 macrophages were distinguished using flow cytometry and the key exosomal lncRNA was detected by in situ hybridization. Results In the fracture microenvironment, macrophages (stimulated using either hypoxia or CSF) significantly increased the osteogenic ability of BMSCs. We showed that BMSCs assimilated macrophage-derived vesicles and that the inhibition of exosomal secretion significantly attenuated the macrophage-mediated induction of BMSC osteogenesis. The hypoxia condition led to the up-regulation of 310 lncRNAs and the down-regulation of 575 lncRNAs in macrophage exosomes, while CSF stimulation caused the up-regulation of 557 lncRNAs and the down-regulation of 407 lncRNAs. In total, 108 lncRNAs were co-up-regulated and 326 lncRNAs were co-down-regulated under both conditions. We eventually identified LOC103691165 as a key lncRNA that promoted BMSC osteogenesis and was expressed at similar levels in both M1 and M2 macrophages. Conclusion In the fracture microenvironment, M1 and M2 macrophages promoted BMSC osteogenesis by secreting exosomes containing LOC103691165.

Abstract
Lightweight aluminum alloy components are often used to manufacture a variety of engineering components in many industries. In recent years, researchers have studied the effect of improving the mechanical properties of metal alloys by incorporating nano-carbon into its structure. In this study, the effect of the addition of 0.2, 0.5, and 1 wt% of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the stress-strain behavior and creep phenomenon of an A356 aluminum alloy were studied. The effect of nickel coating on 0.2 wt% MWCNTs was also investigated. Samples were prepared using the stir-casting method. The results revealed that the grain size became finer when MWCNT nano-particulates were introduced. Although the MWCNTs were distributed homogeneously in the A356 matrix, as confirmed by FESEM analysis, there were some agglomerations observed in a specific area with dimensions smaller than 100 nm. Nevertheless, the addition of MWCNTs was found to be beneficial in enhancing the hardness of alloys containing 0.2 wt%, 0.2 wt% nickel-coated, 0.5 wt%, and 1 wt% MWCNTs by 9%, 24%, 32%, and 15%, respectively, as compared with the unreinforced A345 matrix. It was also found that the 0.5 wt% MWCNT-A356 matrix exhibited an improvement in the creep lifetime by more than two orders of magnitude.

Abstract
Room-temperature-operating highly sensitive mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) photodetectors are utilized in a large number of important applications, including night vision, communications, and optical radar. Many previous studies have demonstrated uncooled MWIR photodetectors using 2D narrow-bandgap semiconductors. To date, most of these works have utilized atomically thin flakes, simple van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, or atomically thin p-n junctions as absorbers, which have difficulty in meeting the requirements for state-of-the-art MWIR photodetectors with a blackbody response. Here, a fully depleted self-aligned MoS2 -BP-MoS2 vdW heterostructure sandwiched between two electrodes is reported. This new type of photodetector exhibits competitive performance, including a high blackbody peak photoresponsivity up to 0.77 A W-1 and low noise-equivalent power of 2.0 × 10-14 W Hz-1/2 , in the MWIR region. A peak specific detectivity of 8.61 × 1010 cm Hz1/2 W-1 under blackbody radiation is achieved at room temperature in the MWIR region. Importantly, the effective detection range of the device is twice that of state-of-the-art MWIR photodetectors. Furthermore, the device presents an ultrafast response of ≈4 µs both in the visible and short-wavelength infrared bands. These results provide an ideal platform for realizing broadband and highly sensitive room-temperature MWIR photodetectors.

Abstract
Simple Summary We report the genomic sequence of Emberiza elegans for understanding the evolutionary mechanisms of environmental adaptation and for studying a more effective genetic monitoring of this species. The E. elegans assembly was approximately 1.14 Gb, with a scaffold N50 of 28.94 Mb. About 15,868 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 16.62% of the genome was identified as having repetitive elements. Our genomic evolution analyses found considerable numbers of adaptive genes that may help the yellow-throated bunting cope with migratory behavior and environmental stressors of diseases. These results provide us with new insights into genomic evolution and adaptation, thus providing a valuable resource for further studies of population genetic diversity and genome evolution in this species. Abstract Yellow-throated bunting is a small migratory songbird unique to the Palearctic region. However, the genetic studies of this species remain limited, with no nuclear genomic sequence reported to date. In this study, the genomic DNA from the bird was sequenced in long reads using Nanopore sequencing technology. Combining short-read sequencing, the genome was well-assembled and annotated. The final length of the assembly is approximately 1.14 Gb, with a scaffold N50 of 28.94 Mb. About 15,868 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 16.62% of the genome was identified as having repetitive elements. Comparative genomic analysis showed numerous expanded gene families and positively selected genes significantly enriched in those KEGG pathways that are associated with migratory behavior adaptation and immune response. Here, this newly generated de novo genome of the yellow-throated bunting using long reads provide the research community with a valuable resource for further studies of population genetic diversity and genome evolution in this species.

Abstract
Arsenic doping in silicides has been much less studied compared with phosphorus. In this study, superconductivity is successfully induced by As doping in Mo5Si3. The superconducting transition temperature (Tc) reaches 7.7 K, which is higher than those in previously known W5Si3-type superconductors. Mo5Si2As is a type-II BCS superconductor with upper and lower critical fields of 6.65 T and 22.4 mT, respectively. In addition, As atoms are found to selectively take the 8h sites in Mo5Si2As. The emergence of superconductivity is possibly due to the shift of Fermi level as a consequence of As doping, as revealed by the specific heat measurements and first-principles calculations. Our work provides not only another example of As doping but also a practical strategy to achieve superconductivity in silicides through Fermi level engineering.

Abstract
Electrochemical ionic liquid gating is an effective way to intercalate ions into layered materials and modulate the properties. Here we report an enhanced superconductivity in a topological superconductor candidate PdTe2through electrochemical gating procedure. The superconducting transition temperature was increased to approximately 3.2 K by ionic gating induced protonation at room temperature. Moreover, a further enhanced superconductivity of both superconducting transition temperature and superconducting volume fraction was observed after the gated samples were placed in a glove box for 2 months. This may be caused by the diffusion of protons in the gated single crystals, which is rarely reported in electrochemical ionic liquid gating experiments. Our results further the superconducting study of PdTe2and may reveal a common phenomenon in the electrochemical gating procedure.

Abstract
2D material (2DM) based photodetectors with broadband photoresponse are of great value for a vast number of applications such as multiwavelength photodetection, imaging, and night vision. However, compared with traditional photodetectors based on bulk material, the relatively slow speed performance of 2DM based photodetectors hinders their practical applications. Herein, a submicrosecond-response photodetector based on ternary telluride InSiTe3 with trigonal symmetry and layered structure was demonstrated in this study. The InSiTe3 based photodetectors exhibit an ultrafast photoresponse (545-576 ns) and broadband detection capabilities from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near-infrared (NIR) optical communication region (365-1310 nm). Besides, the photodetector presents an outstanding reversible and stable photoresponse in which the response performance remains consistent within 200 000 cycles of switch operation. These significant findings suggest that InSiTe3 can be a promising candidate for constructing fast response broadband 2DM based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Seed germination marks the beginning of a new plant life cycle. Improving the germination rate of seeds and the consistency of seedling emergence in the field could improve crop yields. Many genes are involved in the regulation of seed germination. Our previous study found that some peanut XTHs (xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases) were expressed at higher levels at the newly germinated stage. However, studies of the XTH gene family in peanut have not been reported. In this study, a total of 58 AhXTH genes were identified in the peanut genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these AhXTHs, along with 33 AtXTHs from Arabidopsis and 61 GmXTHs from soybean, were classified into three subgroups: the I/II, IIIA and IIIB subclades. All AhXTH genes were unevenly distributed on the 18 peanut chromosomes, with the exception of chr. 07 and 17, and they had relatively conserved exon-intron patterns, most with three to four introns. Through chromosomal distribution pattern and synteny analysis, it was found that the AhXTH family experienced many replication events, including 42 pairs of segmental duplications and 23 pairs of tandem duplications, during genome evolution. Conserved motif analysis indicated that their encoded proteins contained the conserved ExDxE domain and N-linked glycosylation sites and displayed the conserved secondary structural loops 1-3 in members of the same group. Expression profile analysis of freshly harvested seeds, dried seeds, and newly germinated seeds using transcriptome data revealed that 26 AhXTH genes, which account for 45% of the gene family, had relatively higher expression levels at the seed germination stage, implying the important roles of AhXTHs in regulating seed germination. The results of quantitative real-time PCR also confirmed that some AhXTHs were upregulated during seed germination. The results of GUS histochemical staining showed that AhXTH4 was mainly expressed in germinated seeds and etiolated seedlings and had higher expression levels in elongated hypocotyls. AhXTH4 was also verified to play a crucial role in the cell elongation of hypocotyls during seed germination.

Abstract
Periodic wake-foil interactions occur in the collective swimming of bio-inspired robots. Wake interaction pattern estimation (and control) is crucial to thrust enhancement and propulsive efficiency optimization. In this paper, we study the wake interaction pattern estimation of two flapping foils in tandem configurations. The experiments are conducted at a Reynolds number of 1.41 × 104in a water channel. A modified wake-foil phase parameter Φ, which unifies the influences of inter-foil distanceLx, motion phase difference Δφand wake convection velocityUv, is introduced to describe the wake interaction patterns parametrically. We use a differential pressure sensor on the downstream foil to capture wake interaction characteristics. Data sets at different tandem configurations are collected. The wake-foil phase Φ is used to label the pressure signals. A one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNN) model is used to learn an end-to-end mapping between the raw pressure measurements and the wake-foil phase Φ. The trained 1D-CNN model shows accurate estimations (average error 3.5%) on random wake interaction patterns and is fast enough (within 40 ms). Then the trained 1D-CNN model is applied to online thrust enhancement control of a downstream foil swimming in a periodic wake. Synchronous force monitoring and flow visualization demonstrate the effectiveness of the 1D-CNN model. The limitations of the model are discussed. The proposed approach can be applied to the online estimation and control of wake interactions in the collective swimming and flying of biomimetic robots.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ten-segment classification provides a different approach to the evaluation of tibial plateau fractures. The purpose of this study was to assess the intra- and inter-observer reliability of three widely used classification systems (Schatzker, Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO/OTA), and the updated three-column concept (uTCC)) with ten-segment classification in two-dimensional computed tomography (2D-CT) and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). METHOD Ninety 2D-CT and 3D-CT scans of patients with tibial plateau fractures were included in this retrospective cohort study. The included data were independently classified by six observers of different years of seniority and were independently observed and classified again after eight weeks. Inter-observer and intra-observer reliability of the four fracture classifications made by the six observers was analyzed using the kappa statistic. Kappa values were interpreted according to the categorical rating by Landis and Koch. RESULTS When the inter-observer reliability was based on 2D-CT/3D-CT analysis, the mean Kappa values for the Schatzker, AO/OTA, uTCC, and ten-segment classification were 0.64/0.66, 0.56/0.59, 0.53/0.65, and 0.60/0.73, respectively. When intra-observer reliability was based on 2D-CT/3D-CT, the mean Kappa values for the Schatzker, AO/OTA, uTCC, and ten-segment classification were 0.68/0.83, 0.69/0.83, 0.74/0.85, and 0.80/0.91, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The use of 3D-CT is important for the reliable diagnosis and recognition of tibial plateau fracture features compared to 2D-CT. When using 3D-CT, ten-segment classification showed high intra- and inter-observer agreement.

Abstract
PURPOSE Minimally invasive oesophagectomy is a technically demanding procedure, and the learning curve for this procedure should be explored. A survival analysis should also be performed. METHODS A total of 214 consecutive patients who underwent minimally invasive oesophagectomy were retrospectively reviewed. To evaluate the development of thoracoscopic-laparoscopic oesophagectomy and compare mature minimally invasive oesophagectomy and open oesophagectomy, we comprehensively studied the clinical and surgical parameters. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) plot was used to evaluate the learning curve for systemic lymphadenectomy. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to explore the clinical factors affecting survival. RESULTS The bleeding volume, operation time, and postoperative mortality within 3 months significantly decreased after 20 patients. The rise point for node dissection was visually determined to occur at patient 57 in the CUSUM plots. Patients who underwent mature thoracoscopic-laparoscopic oesophagectomy had better surgical data and short-term benefits than patients who underwent an open procedure. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the tumour cross-sectional area and the number of positive nodes significantly influenced survival. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that thoracoscopic-laparoscopic oesophagectomy has short-term benefits. There was no evidence that it was associated with a significantly better prognosis for patients with oesophageal cancer. ClinicalTrials Gov ID: NCT04217239; January 2, 2020 retrospectively registered.

Abstract
Apple replant disease (ARD) is a soil-borne disease that leads to economic losses due to reduced plant growth and diminished fruit yields. Dopamine is involved in interactions between plants and pathogens. However, it remains unclear whether dopamine can directly stimulate defense responses to ARD. In this study, an exogenous dopamine treatment and dopamine synthetase MdTYDC (tyrosine decarboxylase) transgenic plants were used to verify the role of dopamine in treating ARD. First, 2-year-old apple trees (Malus domestica cv. Fuji), grafted onto rootstock M26, were grown in replant soils. The addition of dopamine (100 μM) to the soil promoted seedling growth and changed the accumulation of mineral elements in plants in replant soils. Such supplementation improved the activity of invertase, urease, proteinase and phosphatase under replant conditions. Sequencing analysis of 16S rDNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA revealed that dopamine had a slight influence on bacterial diversity but had an obvious effect on the fungal diversity in replant soils. The application of dopamine to replant soil changed the composition of bacterial and fungal communities. Second, overexpression of MdTYDC in apple plants alleviated the effects of ARD. MdTYDC transgenic lines exhibited mitigated ARD through inhibited degradation of photosynthetic pigment, maintaining the stability of photosystems I and II and improving the antioxidant system. Furthermore, overexpression of MdTYDC improved arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization by improving the accumulation of soluble sugars under replant conditions. Together, these results demonstrated that dopamine enhances the tolerance of apples to ARD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The poor prognosis and rising incidence of esophageal cancer highlight the need for improved therapeutics that are essential prior to treatment. LCL161 is an SMAC (second mitochondrial activator of caspases) mimic and inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) antagonist which exhibits anti-tumor effects and improves the chemical sensitivity of many cancers.
AIM To ascertain the effects and mechanisms of the SMAC analog LCL161 on esophageal cancer cells.
METHODS MTT assay and TUNEL assay were used to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Western blot analysis was used to study the molecular mechanisms of LCL161-induced death of ECA109 cells.
RESULTS LCL161 decreased ECA109 cell proliferation in dose- and time-dependent manner and induced apoptosis of ECA109 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Also, LCL161 induced a significant decrease in the expression of the XIAP and significant increase in the expression of Caspase-3. In addition, Bax increased significantly with increasing concentrations of LCL161, and the relative expression of Bax was significantly different between groups.
CONCLUSION These findings support the hypothesis that LCL161 can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in esophageal cancer cells by regulating the expression of IAP family members, suggesting that it has potential to be an effective treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
The optimal treatment for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still a debatable point; however, randomized trials for strategies including neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy, or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) are not always available. This network meta-analysis aimed to identify an effective approach through indirect comparisons. An extensive literature search comparing multimodality treatment and surgery was performed, and a network meta-analysis was conducted with the frequentist method. Twenty-three trials including a total of 3636 ESCC patients were included. Neoadjuvant CRT and neoadjuvant CT, which were recommended by most guidelines for esophageal cancer, were associated with an overall survival advantage compared with surgery alone (HR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.26-0.73; HR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.32-1.59). A statistically significant survival benefit from neoadjuvant CRT compared with neoadjuvant CT could not be demonstrated in our study (HR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.32-1.17, P = 0.08). Our network meta-analysis showed that both neoadjuvant CRT and neoadjuvant CT were effective in improving the survival of patients with ESCC. Individual clinical decisions need further study in the future.

Abstract
LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) is a HAP3 subunit of CCAAT-binding transcription factor, which controls several aspects of embryo and postembryo development, including embryo morphogenesis, storage reserve accumulation and skotomorphogenesis. Herein, using the method of chromosomal walking, a 2707bp upstream sequence from the ATG initiation codon site of AhLEC1A which is a homolog of Arabidopsis LEC1 was isolated in peanut. Its transcriptional start site confirmed by 5’ RACE was located at 82 nt from 5’ upstream of ATG. The bioinformatics analysis revealed that there existed many tissue-specific elements and light responsive motifs in its promoter. To identify the functional region of the AhLEC1A promoter, seven plant expression vectors expressing the GUS (β-glucuronidase) gene, driven by 5’ terminal series deleted fragments of AhLEC1A promoter, were constructed and transformed into Arabidopsis. Results of GUS histochemical staining showed that the regulatory region containing 82bp of 5’ UTR and 2228bp promoter could facilitate GUS to express preferentially in the embryos at different development periods of Arabidopsis. Taken together, it was inferred that the expression of AhLEC1A during seed development of peanut might be controlled positively by several seed-specific regulatory elements, as well as negatively by some other regulatory elements inhibiting its expression in other organs. Moreover, the GUS expression pattern of transgenic seedlings in darkness and in light was relevant to the light-responsive elements scattered in AhLEC1A promoter segment, implying that these light-responsive elements harbored in the AhLEC1A promoter regulate skotomorphogenesis of peanut seeds, and AhLEC1A expression was inhibited after the germinated seedlings were transferred from darkness to light.

The NAC transcription factor (TF) is one of the most significant TFs in plants and is widely involved in plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. To date, there are no systematic studies on the NAC family in peanuts. Herein, 132 AhNACs were identified from the genome of cultivated peanut, and they were classified into eight subgroups (I–VIII) based on phylogenetic relationships with Arabidopsis NAC proteins and their conserved motifs. These genes were unevenly scattered on all 20 chromosomes, among which 116 pairs of fragment duplication events and 1 pair of tandem duplications existed. Transcriptome analysis showed that many AhNAC genes responded to drought and abscisic acid (ABA) stresses, especially most of the members in groups IV, VII, and VIII, which were expressed at larger differential levels under polyethylene glycol (PEG) and/or ABA treatment in roots or leaves. Furthermore, 20 of them selected in response to PEG and ABA treatment were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that these genes significantly responded to drought and ABA in roots and/or leaves. This study was helpful for guiding the functional characterization and improvement of drought-resistant germplasms in peanuts.
