Abstract
Numerous evidence has demonstrated that the brain is not an immune-privileged organ but possesses a whole set of lymphatic transport system, which facilitates the drainage of harmful waste from brains to maintain cerebral homeostasis. However, as individuals age, the shrinkage and dysfunction of meningeal and deep cervical lymphatic networks lead to reduced waste outflow and elevated neurotoxic molecules deposition, further inducing aging-associated cognitive decline, which act as one of the pathological mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. Consequently, recovering the function of meningeal and deep cervical lymph node (dCLNs) networks (as an important part of the brain waste removal system (BWRS)) of aged brains might be a feasible strategy. Herein we showed that the drug brain-entering efficiency was highly related to administration routes (oral, subcutaneous, or dCLN delivery). Besides, by injecting a long-acting lyotropic liquid crystalline implant encapsulating cilostazol (an FDA-approved selective PDE-3 inhibitor) and donepezil hydrochloride (a commonly used symptomatic relief agent to inhibit acetylcholinesterase for Alzheimer's disease) near the deep cervical lymph nodes of aged mice (about 20 months), an increase of lymphatic vessel coverage in the nodes and meninges was observed, along with accelerated drainage of macromolecules from brains. Compared with daily oral delivery of cilostazol and donepezil hydrochloride, a single administered dual drugs-loaded long-acting implants releasing for more than one month not only elevated drug concentrations in brains, improved the clearing efficiency of brain macromolecules, reduced Aβ accumulation, enhanced cognitive functions of the aged mice, but improved patient compliance as well, which provided a clinically accessible therapeutic strategy toward aged Alzheimer's diseases.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) commonly induces nerve damage and nerve cell degeneration. In this work, a novel dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) encapsulated thermoresponsive injectable hydrogel with sustained hydrogen sulfide (H2S) delivery is demonstrated for SCI repair. For controlled and sustained H2S gas therapy, a clinically tested H2S donor (JK) loaded octysilane functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (OMSNs) are incorporated into the thermosensitive hydrogel made from Pluronic F127 (PF-127). The JK-loaded functionalized MSNs (OMSF@JK) promote preferential M2-like polarization of macrophages and neuronal differentiation of DPSCs in vitro. OMSF@JK incorporated PF-127 injectable hydrogel (PF-OMSF@JK) has a soft consistency similar to that of the human spinal cord and thus, shows a high cytocompatibility with DPSCs. The cross-sectional micromorphology of the hydrogel shows a continuous porous structure. Last, the PF-OMSF@JK composite hydrogel considerably improves the in vivo SCI regeneration in Sprague-Dawley rats through a reduction in inflammation and neuronal differentiation of the incorporated stem cells as confirmed using western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The highly encouraging in vivo results prove that this novel design on hydrogel is a promising therapy for SCI regeneration with the potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION dnal7, a novel allelic variant of the OsHSP40, affects rice plant architecture and grain yield by coordinating auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellic acids. Plant height and leaf morphology are the most important traits of the ideal plant architecture (IPA), and discovering related genes is critical for breeding high-yield rice. Here, a dwarf and narrow leaf 7 (dnal7) mutant was identified from a γ-ray treated mutant population, which exhibits pleiotropic effects, including dwarfing, narrow leaves, small seeds, and low grain yield per plant compared to the wild type (WT). Histological analysis showed that the number of veins and the distance between adjacent small veins (SVs) were significantly reduced compared to the WT, indicating that DNAL7 controls leaf size by regulating the formation of veins. Map-based cloning and transgenic complementation revealed that DNAL7 is allelic to NAL11, which encodes OsHSP40, and the deletion of 2 codons in dnal7 destroyed the His-Pro-Asp (HPD) motif of OsHSP40. In addition, expression of DNAL7 in both WT and dnal7 gradually increased with the increase of temperature in the range of 27-31 °C. Heat stress significantly affected the seedling height and leaf width of the dnal7 mutant. A comparative transcriptome analysis of WT and dnal7 revealed that DNAL7 influenced multiple metabolic pathways, including plant hormone signal transduction, carbon metabolism, and biosynthesis of amino acids. Furthermore, the contents of the cytokinins in leaf blades were much higher in dnal7 than in the WT, whereas the contents of auxins were lower in dnal7. The contents of bioactive gibberellic acids (GAs) including GA1, GA3, and GA4 in shoots were decreased in dnal7. Thus, DNAL7 regulates rice plant architecture by coordinating the balance of auxins, cytokinins, and GAs. These results indicate that OsHSP40 is a pleiotropic gene, which plays an important role in improving rice yield and plant architecture.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) predominantly affects child-bearing women, leading to an elevated risk of maternal and fetal complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Since some medications can cross the placental barrier that persist a threat to both mother and fetus, the risk-benefit ratio of SLE medications should be taken into consideration during pregnancy. Calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), mainly including cyclosporin A, tacrolimus, and voclosporin, is a category of immunosuppressive agents that inhibit calcium/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase calcineurin to block T cell activation. Based on the current clinical evidence, CNI is an alternative in pregnant SLE patients with persistent disease activity (especially lupus nephritis patients) and non-responders to azathioprine. However, there is no comprehensive review that summarizes the efficacy and safety profile of CNI for SLE management during pregnancy. This review presents a summary on the utilization of CNI for SLE management during pregnancy, including the mechanism of action, gestational amelioration of lupus flare, and the balance of maternal benefit-fetal risk, which may provide more references for the management of SLE pregnancies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulp regeneration with bioactive dentin-pulp complex has been a research hotspot in recent years. Stem cell therapy provided an interest strategy to regenerate the dental-pulp complex. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of photosensitive gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel encapsulating dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for dental pulp regeneration in vitro. METHODS First, the AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels were prepared by lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethyl-benzoyl phosphinate (LAP) initiation via blue-light emitting diode light. The physical and chemical properties of AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels were comprehensively analysed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mechanical characterisation, such as swelling ability, degradation properties, and AgNP release profile. Then, AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels encapsulated DPSCs were used to establish an AgNPs@GelMA biomimetic complex, further analysing its biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, and angiogenic capacity in vitro. RESULTS The results indicated that GelMA hydrogels demontrated optimal characteristics with a monomer:LAP ratio of 16:1. The physico-chemical properties of AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels did not change significantly after loading with AgNPs. There was no significant difference in AgNP release rate amongst different concentrations of AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels. Fifty to 200 μg/mL AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels could disperse E faecalis biofilm and reduce its metabolic activity . Furthermore, cell proliferation was arrested in 100 and 200 μg/mL AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels. The inhibition of 50 μg/mL AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels on E faecalis biofilm was above 50%, and the cell viability of the hydrogels was higher than 90%. The angiogenesis assay indicated that AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels encapsulating DPSCs could induce the formation of capillary-like structures and express angiogenic markers CD31, vascular endothelial growth factor , and von willebrand factor (vWF) in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Results of this study indicate that 50 μg/mL AgNPs@GelMA hydrogels encapsulating DPSCs had significant antibacterial properties and angiogenic capacity, which could provide a significant experimental basis for the regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with thyroid-associated opthalmopathy (TAO) have widespread white matter (WM) abnormalities in the emotional and cognitive functional regions. However, the topological representation of these WM abnormalities and the network-level structural aberrations underlying TAO and concomitant affective disorders are still unclear. METHODS We used probabilistic diffusion tractography and graph theory to investigate brain network topology in 37 active, 35 inactive TAO patients and 23 healthy controls. Then, we evaluated the partial correlations between network topological metrics and clinical parameters. RESULTS For global topology, only active TAO patients exhibited significantly decreased global (Eglob) and local (Eloc) efficiency compared with controls, while no significant difference was observed between active and inactive TAO patients. For regional topology, we found a significantly decreased nodal efficiency in the left orbital superior frontal gyrus (ORBsup), medial orbital superior frontal gyrus (ORBsupmed), hippocampus and amygdala in active TAO patients compared with inactive ones. Intriguingly, Eglob, Eloc, and nodal efficiency of left ORBsup, ORBsupmed, olfactory cortex, gyrus rectus, hippocampus, right parahippocampal gyrus and amygdala had significantly positive correlations with anxiety/depression scores, bilateral exophthalmos and intraocular pressure in active TAO patients, while no significant correlation was observed in inactive TAO patients. LIMITATIONS No longitudinal follow-up. CONCLUSIONS WM networks of TAO are characterized by decreased local specialization and global integration in the active phase, and decreased nodal efficiency highly related to anxiety and depression in the emotional and cognitive regions. Our findings provide new insight regarding the neurobiological mechanisms of TAO and contribute to the treatment of concomitant affective disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) may result in increased metabolism and abnormalities in microcirculation. The fractal dimension (Df) of retinal vessels has been shown to be related to the pathology of a number of ophthalmic disorders, but it hasn't been investigated in TAO. METHODS We analyzed 1078 participants aged 18 to 72 (548 healthy volunteers and 530 TAO). Images were captured using a non-mydriatic 45-degree fundus camera. Baseline retinal characteristics, such as vessel width, tortuosity, and Df were measured using semiautomated software from fundus images. The average retinal parameters were compared between the two groups. The receiver operation curve (ROC) was used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of various retinal vascular parameters for TAO. RESULTS Despite controlling for potential confounding variables, Df, vessel width, and tortuosity significantly increased in TAO compared to healthy volunteers. Compared to active TAO, patients in the inactive phase had a larger retinal venous caliber (p < 0.05), but there was no difference in Df or arterial caliber. Moderate and severe cases had a higher Df compared with mild cases (EUGOGO guidelines). The area under the ROC for Df, tortuosity, and vascular caliber in the diagnosis of TAO was 0.904 (95% CI: 0.884-0.924), 0.638 (95% CI: 0.598-0.679), and 0.617 (95% CI: 0.576-0.658), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Due to its accessibility, affordability, and non-invasive nature, retinal vascular Df may serve as a surrogate marker for TAO and might be used to identify severe cases. With relatively high diagnostic performance, the Df is of some utility for the detection of TAO.

Abstract
Obesity often leads to severe medical complications. However, existing FDA-approved medications to combat obesity have limited effectiveness in reducing adiposity and often cause side effects. These medications primarily act on the central nervous system or disrupt fat absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. Adipose tissue enlargement involves adipose hyperplasia and hypertrophy, both of which correlate with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hyperactivated X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) in (pre)adipocytes. In this study, we demonstrate that KT-NE, a nanoemulsion loaded with the XBP1 inhibitor KIRA6 and α-Tocopherol, simultaneously alleviates aberrant endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress in (pre)adipocytes. As a result, KT-NE significantly inhibits abnormal adipogenic differentiation, reduces lipid droplet accumulation, restricts lipid droplet transfer, impedes obesity progression, and lowers the risk of obesity-associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in female mice with obesity. Furthermore, diverse administration routes of KT-NE impact its in vivo biodistribution and contribute to localized and/or systemic anti-obesity effectiveness.

Abstract
Breast carcinoma arising from a fibroadenoma is an uncommon entity and is frequently detected incidentally during pathological examination or excisional biopsy of a benign breast tumor. Due to only sporadic cases being reported, evidence-based guidelines are not well-established to date. The present report describes 16 patients diagnosed with breast carcinoma arising within a fibroadenoma in the Third Hospital of Nanchang (Nanchang, China) between January 2019 and December 2021 and discusses the clinicopathological characteristics, imaging findings and treatment. The age of patients at diagnosis ranged between 19 and 58 years and a well-defined asymptomatic mass was the most common clinical presentation. Carcinoma occurring in fibroadenoma generally mimics a benign tumor and potential carcinomatous changes may not be detected. Pathologically, carcinoma in situ was the predominant subtype in the present study. Additionally, ductal carcinoma in situ was more common compared with lobular carcinoma in situ in the present case series. Regarding the molecular phenotypes, the majority of cases were categorized as luminal subtype, although other subtypes such as triple-negative and HER2 positive breast cancer were also identified. In the present study, seven patients were treated with breast-conserving surgery and nine patients were treated with mastectomy. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed in all patients and none exhibited axillary node metastasis. Additionally, six patients underwent radiotherapy and two received chemotherapy. During the follow-up, all patients were alive and no evidence of disease relapse was observed. In summary, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of carcinoma within a fibroadenoma, which could alter the therapeutical course. Adequate biopsy or excision should be performed in patients with indicators of malignant transformation in a presumed benign breast tumor.

Abstract
As an efficient, non-invasive, low-side-effect, and highly selective cancer therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to treat various malignant tumors. However, the inefficiency of dealing with deep tumors and metastatic lesions highly limits the use of PDT. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a particular form of tumor cell death that could elicit a tumor-special immune response, leading to a systemic anti-tumor effect and providing therapeutic benefits for metastatic lesions. In this regard, it is crucial to enhance the ability of PDT to induce ICD. Luckily, advanced nanotechnology created many promising ways to improve the immunogenicity of PDT and achieve photoimmunotherapy. This review summarizes the emerging strategies for triggering immunogenic cell death via nanoplatform-enhanced PDT, with particular emphasis on their advantages in photoimmunotherapy. We highlight the nanoplatforms classified according to the basic principles of photodynamic therapy and immunogenic cell death, which provides a valuable reference for the design of nanoplatform for photoimmunotherapy. In addition, we also discuss the current situation and prospect of nano-based photoimmunotherapy in clinical studies.

Abstract
Embryo selection is a key point of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The most commonly used method for embryo selection is morphological assessment. However, it is sometimes inaccurate. Follicular fluid (FF) contains a complex mixture of proteins that are essential for follicle development and oocyte maturation. Analyzing human FF proteomic profiles and identifying predictive biomarkers might be helpful for evaluating embryo quality. A total of 22 human FF samples were collected from 19 infertile women who underwent IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment between October 2021 and November 2021. FFs were grouped into two categories on the basis of the day 3 embryo quality, grade I or II in the hqFF group and grade III in the nhqFF group. FF was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The key differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were validated by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Differentially expressed proteins were further analyzed using DAVID software. A total of 558 proteins were identified, of which 50 proteins were differentially expressed in the hqFF versus nhqFF group, including 32 upregulated proteins (> 1.20-fold, P < 0.05) and 18 downregulated proteins (< 0.67-fold, P < 0.05). Bioinformatics analyses showed that the upregulated DEPs were enriched in components of the coagulation and complement systems and negative regulation of peptidase activity, while the downregulated DEPs were enriched in molecular function of extracellular matrix structural and constituent collagen binding. Our results suggested that a number of protein biomarkers in FF were associated with embryo quality. It may help develop an effective and noninvasive method for embryo selection.

Abstract
Macrophages are central to the pathogenesis of kidney disease and serve as an effective therapeutic target for kidney injury and fibrosis. Among them, M2-type macrophages have double-edged effects regarding anti-inflammatory effects and tissue repair. Depending on the polarization of the M2 subtypes (M2a or M2c) in the diseased microenvironment, they can either mediate normal tissue repair or drive tissue fibrosis. In renal fibrosis, M2a promotes disease progression through macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT) cells, while M2c possesses potent anti-inflammatory functions and promotes tissue repair, and is inhibited. The mechanisms underlying this differentiation are complex and are currently not well understood. Therefore, in this study, we first confirmed that M2a-derived MMT cells are responsible for the development of renal fibrosis and demonstrated that the intensity of TGF-β signaling is a major factor determining the differential polarization of M2a and M2c. Under excessive TGF-β stimulation, M2a undergoes a process known as MMT cells, whereas moderate TGF-β stimulation favors the polarization of M2c phenotype macrophages. Based on these findings, we employed targeted nanotechnology to codeliver endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) inhibitor (Ceapin 7, Cea or C) and conventional glucocorticoids (Dexamethasone, Dex or D), precisely modulating the ATF6/TGF-β/Smad3 signaling axis within macrophages. This approach calibrated the level of TGF-β stimulation on macrophages, promoting their polarization toward the M2c phenotype and suppressing excessive MMT polarization. The study indicates that the combination of ERS inhibitor and a first-line anti-inflammatory drug holds promise as an effective therapeutic approach for renal fibrosis resolution.

Abstract
Despite significant progress in vaccine development, especially in the fight against viral infections, many unexplored areas remain including innovative adjuvants, diversification of vaccine formulations, and research into the coordination of humoral and cellular immune mechanisms induced by vaccines. Effective coordination of humoral and cellular immunity is crucial in vaccine design. In this study, we used the spike protein (S) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or ovalbumin (OVA) as antigen models and CpG DNA (an activator of toll-like receptor 9, TLR9) as an adjuvant to prepare a multitargeted liposome (LIPO) vaccine. Once equipped with the ability to target lymph nodes (LN) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the LIPO vaccine significantly enhances the cross-presentation ability of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) for exogenous antigens through the ER-associated protein degradation (ERSD) mechanism. Additionally, the vaccine could fine-tune the efficiency of ER-targeted antigen delivery, actively regulating the presentation of exogenous antigen proteins via the major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I) or MHC-II pathways. Immune data from in vivo mouse experiments indicated that the LIPO vaccine effectively stimulated both humoral and cellular immune responses. Furthermore, it triggers immune protection by establishing a robust and persistent germinal center. Moreover, the multifunctionality of this LIPO vaccine extends to the fields of cancer, viruses, and bacteria, providing insights for skilled vaccine design and improvement.

Abstract
Arthritis is a syndrome characterized by inflammation in the joints. Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) was used as an anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of this disease. However, there are limitations to its clinical application, including rapid clearance from the joint cavity, potential joint damage from multiple injections, and adverse joint events. To address these drawbacks, we developed a tunable in situ forming implant loaded with TA. This injectable polymer solution utilized poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as an extended-release material. When injected into the joints, the solution solidifies into implants through a solvent exchange in the aqueous environment. The implants demonstrated robust retention at the injection site and released TA over several weeks even months through diffusion and erosion. By adding different proportions of low water-miscible plasticizers, the release period of the drug could be precisely adjusted. The plasticizers-optimized implants exhibited a tough texture, enhancing the therapeutic efficiency and drug safety in vivo. In arthritic model studies, the tunable TA-loaded implants significantly reduced swelling, pain, and motor discoordination, and also showed suppression of arthritis progression to some extent. These findings suggested that TA-loaded ISFI holds promise for managing inflammatory disorders in individuals with arthritis.

Abstract
Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus sinicus) might help maintain coronaviruses severely affecting human health, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Bats may be more tolerant of viral infection than other mammals due to their unique immune system, but the exact mechanism remains to be fully explored. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, multiple animal species were diseased by coronavirus infection, especially in the respiratory system. Herein, a comparative analysis with single nucleus transcriptomic data of the lungs across four species, including horseshoe bat, cat, tiger, and pangolin, were conducted. The distribution of entry factors for twenty-eight respiratory viruses was characterized for the four species. Our findings might increase our understanding of the immune background of horseshoe bats.

Abstract
Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is a relatively rare form of breast cancer. To date, no evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of EPC have been established. Between January 2015 and December 2021, patients with histologically confirmed EPC of the breast were recorded in a database by The Third Hospital of Nanchang City (Nanchang, China). A total of 46 patients with EPC were retrieved from the database. Age at diagnosis ranged from 41-88 years (median age, 62 years). A total of 21 of these patients had pure EPC, 6 patients had EPC associated with ductal carcinoma in situ and 19 patients had EPC associated with invasive carcinoma. The majority of EPC cases were low nuclear grade, hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative. Additionally, myoepithelial cells were always absent in the papillae of the EPC. All patients underwent lumpectomy or mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy, and almost all of the patients received adjuvant hormonal therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy was only suggested to 4 patients who were diagnosed with axillary lymph node involvement. Subsequently, the clinicopathological features of non-invasive EPC were compared with invasive EPC. The results indicated that larger tumor sizes and axillary lymph node metastases were more common in invasive tumors. During the follow-up, only 2 patients with invasive EPC experienced recurrence or metastasis. In conclusion, a substantial proportion of invasive EPC cases display aggressive characteristics and metastatic potential, despite it being considered a subtype of carcinoma in situ with excellent prognosis, and local surgical resection is the initial method of treatment. Therefore, adjuvant endocrine therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be considered in select patients, especially in those diagnosed with invasive EPC tumors.

Abstract
Glaucoma is the third leading cause of blindness worldwide and is primarily characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Common risk factors such as age, myopia, ocular trauma, and hypertension all increase the risk of elevated IOP. Prolonged high IOP not only causes physiological discomfort like headaches, but also directly damages retinal cells and leads to retinal ischemia, oxidative imbalance, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the retina. This oxidative stress causes the oxidation of proteins and unsaturated lipids, leading to peroxide formation and exacerbating retinal damage. While current clinical treatments primarily target reducing IOP through medication or surgery, there are currently no effective methods to mitigate the retinal cell damage associated with glaucoma. To address this gap, we developed a novel nanoemulsion to co-delivery latanoprost and α-tocopherol (referred to as LA@VNE later) that prolongs ocular retention and enhances retinal permeability through localized administration. By encapsulating latanoprost, an IOP-lowering drug, and α-tocopherol, a potent antioxidant, we effectively reduced ROS accumulation (>1.5-fold in vitro and 2.5-fold in vivo), retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis (>9 fold), and inflammatory cell infiltration (>1.6 fold). Our approach showed strong biocompatibility and significant potential for clinical translation, providing a promising platform for the treatment of glaucoma.

Abstract
Nowadays, nanodrugs become a hotspot in the high-end medical field. They have the ability to deliver drugs to reach their destination more effectively due to their unique properties and flexible functionalization. However, the fate of nanodrugs in vivo is not the same as those presented in vitro, which indeed influenced their therapeutic efficacy in vivo. When entering the biological organism, nanodrugs will first come into contact with biological fluids and then be covered by some biomacromolecules, especially proteins. The proteins adsorbed on the surface of nanodrugs are known as protein corona (PC), which causes the loss of prospective organ-targeting abilities. Fortunately, the reasonable utilization of PC may determine the organ-targeting efficiency of systemically administered nanodrugs based on the diverse expression of receptors on cells in different organs. In addition, the nanodrugs for local administration targeting diverse lesion sites will also form unique PC, which plays an important role in the therapeutic effect of nanodrugs. This article introduced the formation of PC on the surface of nanodrugs and summarized the recent studies about the roles of diversified proteins adsorbed on nanodrugs and relevant protein for organ-targeting receptor through different administration pathways, which may deepen our understanding of the role that PC played on organ-targeting and improve the therapeutic efficacy of nanodrugs to promote their clinical translation.

Abstract
Human oocyte maturation arrest represents one of the severe conditions for female patients with primary infertility. However, the genetic factors underlying this human disease remain largely unknown. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is an intricate surveillance mechanism that ensures accurate segregation of chromosomes throughout cell cycles. Once the kinetochores of chromosomes are correctly attached to bipolar spindles and the SAC is satisfied, the MAD2L1BP, best known as p31comet, binds mitosis arrest deficient 2 (MAD2) and recruits the AAA+-ATPase TRIP13 to disassemble the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), leading to the cell-cycle progression. In this study, by whole-exome sequencing (WES), we identified homozygous and compound heterozygous MAD2L1BP variants in three families with female patients diagnosed with primary infertility owing to oocyte metaphase I (MI) arrest. Functional studies revealed that the protein variants resulting from the C-terminal truncation of MAD2L1BP lost their binding ability to MAD2. cRNA microinjection of full-length or truncated MAD2L1BP uncovered their discordant roles in driving the extrusion of polar body 1 (PB1) in mouse oocytes. Furthermore, the patient's oocytes carrying the mutated MAD2L1BP resumed polar body extrusion (PBE) when rescued by microinjection of full-length MAD2L1BP cRNAs. Together, our studies identified and characterized novel biallelic variants in MAD2L1BP responsible for human oocyte maturation arrest at MI, and thus prompted new therapeutic avenues for curing female primary infertility.

Abstract
Various female reproductive disorders affect millions of women worldwide and bring many troubles to women's daily life. Let alone, gynecological cancer (such as ovarian cancer and cervical cancer) is a severe threat to most women's lives. Endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other chronic diseases-induced pain have significantly harmed women's physical and mental health. Despite recent advances in the female reproductive field, the existing challenges are still enormous such as personalization of disease, difficulty in diagnosing early cancers, antibiotic resistance in infectious diseases, etc. To confront such challenges, nanoparticle-based imaging tools and phototherapies that offer minimally invasive detection and treatment of reproductive tract-associated pathologies are indispensable and innovative. Of late, several clinical trials have also been conducted using nanoparticles for the early detection of female reproductive tract infections and cancers, targeted drug delivery, and cellular therapeutics. However, these nanoparticle trials are still nascent due to the body's delicate and complex female reproductive system. The present review comprehensively focuses on emerging nanoparticle-based imaging and phototherapies applications, which hold enormous promise for improved early diagnosis and effective treatments of various female reproductive organ diseases.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals have been developed for the treatment of a wide range of bone diseases and disorders, but suffer from problematic delivery to the bone marrow. Neutrophils are naturally trafficked to the bone marrow and can cross the bone marrow-blood barrier. Here we report the use of neutrophils for the targeted delivery of free drugs and drug nanoparticles to the bone marrow. We demonstrate how drug-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles are taken up by neutrophils and are then transported across the bone marrow-blood barrier to boost drug concentrations in the bone marrow. We demonstrate application of this principle to two models. In a bone metastasis cancer model, neutrophil delivery is shown to deliver cabazitaxel and significantly inhibit tumour growth. In an induced osteoporosis model, neutrophil delivery of teriparatide is shown to significantly increase bone mineral density and alleviate osteoporosis indicators.

Abstract
Aim: It is to be elucidated the risk-predictive role of differentially expressed fatty acid metabolism related genes (DE-FRGs) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and myocardial infarction. Materials & methods: Four gene enrichment analyses defined DE-FRGs’ biological functions and pathways. Three strategies were applied to identify risk biomarkers and construct a nomogram. The 4-DE-FRG correlation with immune cell infiltration, drugs, and ceRNA was explored. Results: DE-FRGs were enriched in lipid metabolism. A risk nomogram was established by ACSL1, ALDH2, CYP27A1 and PPARA, demonstrating a good ability for DCM and myocardial infarction prediction. PPARA was positively correlated with adaptive immunocytes. Thirty-five drugs are candidate therapeutic targets. Conclusion: A nomogram and new biological targets for early diagnosis and treatment of DCM and myocardial infarction were provided.

Abstract
When it comes to long-acting injections, lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are considered as an effective and powerful drug delivery technology due to their low manufacturing and injection difficulty, consistent releasing behaviors with low burst, as well as broadly applicable drug loading capacity. However, monoolein and phytantriol, as two widely used LLC-forming materials, may give rise to tissue cytotoxicity and undesired immunological responses, which may hinder the wide application of this technology. In this study, we opted for two ingredients, phosphatidylcholine and α-tocopherol, as carriers on account of their nature-obtainable and biocompatible qualities. By changing the ratios between them, we conducted research on crystalline types, nanosized structures, viscoelastic differences, characteristics of releasing behaviors, and in vivo safety. To fully exploit this in situ LLC platform with both injectability and sprayability, we focused on the treatment of both hormone-sensitive (HSPC) and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). For HSPC, we found that spraying leuprolide and a cabazitaxel-loaded LLC platform on the tumor bed after resection greatly reduced tumor metastatic rate and prolonged the survival time. Besides, for CRPC, our results demonstrated that although leuprolide (a kind of drug for castration) alone could hardly limit the progression of CRPC with low MHC-I expression, its combination with cabazitaxel in our LLC platform achieved a significantly better tumor-inhibiting and anti-recurrent efficacy than single cabazitaxel-loaded LLC platform, owing to enhanced CD4+ T cell infiltration in tumors and immune-potentiating cytokines. In conclusion, our dual-functional and clinically achievable strategy might provide a treating solution toward both HSPC and CRPC.

Abstract
Rice blast caused by pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most serious diseases in rice. The pyramiding of effective resistance genes into rice varieties is a potential approach to reduce the damage of blast disease. In this study, combinations of three resistance genes, Pigm, Pi48 and Pi49, were introduced into a thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (PTGMS) line Chuang5S through marker-assisted selection. The results showed that the blast resistance of improved lines increased significantly compared with Chuang5S, and the three gene pyramiding lines (Pigm + Pi48 + Pi49) had higher rice blast resistance level than monogenic line and digenic lines (Pigm +Pi48, Pigm + Pi49). The genetic backgrounds of the improved lines were highly similar (>90%) to the recurrent parent Chuang5S by using the RICE10K SNP chip. In addition, agronomic traits evaluation also showed pyramiding lines with two or three genes similar to Chuang5S. The yields of the hybrids developed from improved PTGMS lines and Chuang5S are not significantly different. The newly developed PTGMS lines can be practically used for the breeding of parental lines and hybrid varieties with broad spectrum blast resistance.

Abstract
Currently, mRNA-based tumor therapies are in full flow because in vitro-transcribed (IVT) mRNA has the potential to express tumor antigens to initiate the adaptive immune responses. However, the efficacy of such therapy relies heavily on the delivery system. Here, a pardaxin-modified liposome loaded with tumor antigen-encoding mRNA and adjuvant (2',3'-cGAMP, (cyclic [G(2',5')pA(3',5')p])), termed P-Lipoplex-CDN is reported. Due to an nonlysosomal delivery route, the transfection efficiency on dendritic cells (DCs) is improved by reducing the lysosome disruption of cargos. The mRNA modified DCs efficiently induce tumor antigen-specific immune responses both in vitro and in vivo. As prophylactic vaccines, mRNA transfected DCs significantly delay the occurrence and development of tumors, and several immunized mice are even completely resistant to tumors. Interestingly, the efficacy depends on the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) expression level on tumor cells. Furthermore, epigenetic modification (decitabine, DAC) is applied as a combination strategy to deal with malignant tumor progression caused by deficient tumor MHC-I expression. This study highlights the close relationship between mRNA-DCs vaccine efficacy and the expression level of tumor cell MHC-I molecules. Moreover, a feasible strategy for tumor MHC-I expression deficiency is proposed, which may provide clinical guidance for the design and application of mRNA-based tumor therapies.

Abstract
Objectives: Fallopian tube (FT) injury is an important factor that can lead to tubal infertility. Stem-cell-based therapy shows great potential for the treatment of injured fallopian tube. However, little research has shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used to treat fallopian tube damage by in situ injection. In this study, we in situ transplanted PF127 hydrogel encapsulating dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) into the injured sites to promote the repair and regeneration of fallopian tube injury. Materials and methods: The properties of dental pulp stem cells were evaluated by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence analysis, and multi-differentiation detection. The immunomodulatory and angiogenic characteristics of dental pulp stem cells were analyzed on the basis of the detection of inflammatory factor expression and the formation of capillary-like structures, respectively. The biocompatibility of PF127 hydrogel was evaluated by using Live/Dead and CCK-8 assays. The effects of PF127 hydrogel containing dental pulp stem cells on the repair and regeneration of fallopian tube injury were evaluated by histological analysis [e.g., hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome staining, TUNEL staining, immunofluorescence staining, and immunohistochemistry], Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and RT-PCR detections. Results: Dental pulp stem cells had MSC-like characteristics and great immunomodulatory and angiogenic properties. PF127 hydrogel had a thermosensitive feature and great cytocompatibility with dental pulp stem cells. In addition, our results indicated that PF127 hydrogel containing dental pulp stem cells could promote the repair and regeneration of fallopian tube damage by inhibiting cell apoptosis, stimulating the secretion of angiogenic factors, promoting cell proliferation, modulating the secretion of inflammatory factors, and restoring the secretion of epithelial cells. Conclusion: In this study, our results reported that in situ injection of PF127 hydrogel encapsulating dental pulp stem cells into the injured sites could provide an attractive strategy for the future treatment of fallopian tube injury in clinical settings.

Abstract
Although recruiting T cells to convert cold tumors into hot can prevent some tumors from evading immune surveillance, tumors have evolved more mechanisms to achieve immune evasion, such as downregulating major histocompatibility complex I (MHC I) molecules expression to prevent T cells from recognizing tumor-antigens, or secreting immune suppression cytokines that disable T cells. Tumor immune evasion not only promotes tumor growth, but also weakens the efficacy of existing tumor immunotherapies. Therefore, recruiting T cells while reshaping innate immunity plays an important role in preventing tumor immune escape. In this study, we constructed a long-acting in situ forming implant (ISFI) based on the Atrigel technology, co-encapsulated with G3-C12 and sulfisoxazole (SFX) as a drug depot in the tumor site (SFX + G3-C12-ISFI). First, G3-C12 could recruit T cells, and transform cold into hot tumors. Furthermore, SFX could inhibit tumor-derived exosomes secretion, reduce the shedding of NKG2D ligand (NKG2DL), repair NKG2D/NKG2DL pathway, reinvigorate natural killer (NK) cells, and evade the effects of MHC I molecules missing. In the humanized cold tumor model, our strategy showed an excellent anti-tumor effect, providing a smart strategy for solving tumor evasion immune surveillance.

Abstract
Recent technological advances in multi-omics and bioinformatics provide an opportunity to develop precision health assessments, which require big data and relevant bioinformatic methods. Here we collect multi-omics data from 4,277 individuals. We calculate the correlations between pairwise features from cross-sectional data and then generate 11 biological functional modules (BFMs) in males and 12 BFMs in females using a community detection algorithm. Using the features in the BFM associated with cardiometabolic health, carotid plaques can be predicted accurately in an independent dataset. We developed a model by comparing individual data with the health baseline in BFMs to assess health status (BFM-ash). Then we apply the model to chronic patients and modify the BFM-ash model to assess the effects of consuming grape seed extract as a dietary supplement. Finally, anomalous BFMs are identified for each subject. Our BFMs and BFM-ash model have huge prospects for application in precision health assessment.

Abstract
Oryza sativa ssp. javanica rice varieties exhibit a wide variation in the phenotypes of several important agronomic traits, including grain quality, grain shape, plant architecture, disease resistance, and high adaption to an unfavorable environment, indicating a great potential for rice improvement. DNA molecular markers are basic and critical tools in genetic analysis and gene mining. However, only a few whole-genome variation analyses have been performed in Oryza sativa ssp. Javanica (tropical japonica rice), and this has hampered the utilization of such an important resource. In this study, the length of insertions/deletions variation greater larger than 10 bp from 10 Oryza sativa ssp. indica rice and 10 Oryza sativa ssp. tropical japonica rice were extracted by using the Nipponbare genome as a reference. A total of 118 primer pairs which were almost evenly distributed on each chromosome corresponding to the loci of InDels were designed by the Primer 5 program. We confirmed 85 InDel markers from 60 rice varieties, including indica and tropical japonica, by running polyacrylamide gels. The InDel markers function like SSRs in identifying hybrids, calculating genetic distance, constructing the genetic linkage map, and gene mining. The InDel markers developed in this study might help in genetic studies and to investigate the tropical japonica rice varieties.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate death and attrition in HIV-infected children under initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) and associated factors in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV-infected children under initial ART in Guangxi from 2004 to 2019, data from ART information system of National comprehensive AIDS prevention and treatment information system. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess factors associated with the death and attrition. Results: In 943 HIV-infected children, the overall mortality and attrition rates were 1.00/100 person-years and 0.77/100 person-years, respectively. The mortality and attrition rates within the first year of ART were 3.90/100 person-years and 1.67/100 person-years, respectively. The cumulative survival rate during the first, second, fifth and tenth year after ART was 96.14%, 95.80%, 93.68% and 91.54%, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models results showed that being female (aHR=2.00, 95%CI: 1.17-3.40), CD4+T lymphocytes (CD4) counts before ART <200 cells/μl (aHR=2.79, 95%CI: 1.54-5.06), weight-for-age Z score before ART <-2 (aHR=2.38, 95%CI: 1.32-4.26), hemoglobin before ART <80 g/L (aHR=2.47, 95%CI: 1.24-4.92), initial ART with LPV/r (aHR=5.05, 95%CI: 1.15-22.12) were significantly associated with death; being female (aHR=2.23, 95%CI: 1.22-4.07) and initial ART with LPV/r (aHR=2.02, 95%CI: 1.07-3.79) were significantly associated with attrition. Conclusions: The effect of ART in HIV-infected children in Guangxi was better, but the mortality and attrition rates were high within the first year of treatment. It is necessary to strengthen the training in medical staff and health education in HIV-infected children and their parents in order to improve the treatment effect.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by several immunosuppressive factors, of which weak acidity and l-arginine (l-arg) deficiency are two common features. A weak acidic environment threatens the survival of immune cells, and insufficient l-arg will severely restrain the effect of antitumor immune responses, both of which affect the efficiency of cancer treatments (especially immunotherapy). Meanwhile, l-arg is essential for tumor progression. Thus, two strategies, l-arg supplementation and l-arg deprivation, are developed for cancer treatment. However, these strategies have the potential risk of promoting tumor growth and impairing immune responses, which might lead to a paradoxical therapeutic effect. It is optimal to limit the l-arg availability of tumor cells from the microenvironment while supplying l-arg for immune cells. In this study, we designed a multivesicular liposome technology to continuously supply alkaline l-arg, which simultaneously changed the acidity and l-arg deficiency in the TME, and by selectively knocking down the CAT-2 transporter, l-arg starvation of tumors was maintained while tumor-killing immune cells were enriched in the TME. The results showed that our strategy promoted the infiltration and activation of CD8+ T cells in tumor, increased the proportion of M1 macrophages, inhibited melanoma growth, and prolonged survival. In combination with anti-PD-1 antibody, our strategy reversed the low tumor response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy, showing a synergistic antitumor effect. Our work provided a reference for improving the TME combined with regulating nutritional competitiveness to achieve the sensitization of immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The exact animal origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains obscure and understanding its host range is vital for preventing interspecies transmission. METHODS Herein, we applied single-cell sequencing to multiple tissues of 20 species (30 data sets) and integrated them with public resources (45 data sets covering 26 species) to expand the virus receptor distribution investigation. While the binding affinity between virus and receptor is essential for viral infectivity, understanding the receptor distribution could predict the permissive organs and tissues when infection occurs. RESULTS Based on the transcriptomic data, the expression profiles of receptor or associated entry factors for viruses capable of causing respiratory, blood, and brain diseases were described in detail. Conserved cellular connectomes and regulomes were also identified, revealing fundamental cell-cell and gene-gene cross-talks from reptiles to humans. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our study provides a resource of the single-cell atlas of the animal kingdom which could help to identify the potential host range and tissue tropism of viruses and reveal the host-virus co-evolution.

Abstract
Currently, endocrine therapy is the standard treatment for hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer (ABC). Despite the high sensitivity of anti-estrogen therapy, many breast cancer patients still experience disease progression, relapse, and reduced overall survival (OS) because of endocrine resistance. Several underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon include a change in hormone receptor expression, mutations in ESR1 and modification of important signaling pathways, but thus far none of these can be defined as the complete explanation. Additionally, it has been shown that in some breast cancers, expression of the estrogen receptor (ER) can be repressed by epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation and histone deacetylation, and this could be a mechanism for endocrine resistance. Interestingly, although the efficacy of the combination of histone deacetylase (HADC) inhibitors and exemestane in hormone receptor-positive ABC that progressed on prior endocrine therapy has been investigated in several studies, whether pharmacologic blocking of HDAC activity acts as a therapeutic strategy remains highly controversial. Herein, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an HDAC inhibitor plus exemestane vs. exemestane alone in this setting. Our meta-analysis demonstrated that the combination group exhibited significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) [hazard ratio (HR)=0.776, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.675-0.892, P=0.000] and an improved objective response rate (ORR) (RR=1.612, 95% CI=1.085-2.396, P=0.018) compared to those treated with exemestane alone. Additionally, in terms of OS, the combination group failed to achieve a significant clinical OS benefit (HR=0.811, 95% CI=0.596-1.104, P=0.183). Although grade 3/4 toxicities were more common in the combination group, those toxicities were mostly asymptomatic and manageable. In conclusion, the addition of an HDAC inhibitor to exemestane significantly improves PFS over exemestane alone in hormone receptor-positive ABC patients who progressed on previous endocrine therapy. Identification of novel biomarkers to select patients who will benefit from this combination strategy is a high priority.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As a result of the current limitation of therapeutic strategies, the repair and regeneration of oviduct injuries required an alternative treatment. We present a novel approach to treat oviduct injuries through a dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs)-based therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vitro and in vivo models have been established. Immunofluorescence staining, flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis were used to investigate the features and angiogenic properties of DPSCs, as well as their impact on macrophages, in vitro. For the in vivo experiment with female SD rat model, immunohistochemical staining and ELISA analysis were used to assess the effects of DPSCs on the repair and regeneration of damaged oviducts. RESULTS The present data showed that intraperitoneal injection of DPSCs reduced the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α to inhibit the immunoreaction in injured sites, as well as increased the expression of VEGF to promote the in situ formation of vessel-like structures, thus the repair and recovery process could be initiated. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that DPSCs-based therapy could be a novel potential technique for restoring the structure and function of damaged oviduct by enhancing immuno-regulated effect and promoting angiogenic property.

Abstract
A therapeutic tumor vaccine is a promising approach to cancer treatment. One of its strategies is to treat patient-derived tumor cells in vitro and then administer them in vivo to induce an adaptive immune response and achieve cancer treatment. Here, we want to explore the possibility of converting cancer tissue into a therapeutic tumor vaccine through induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) in situ. We loaded indocyanine green (ICG) into liposomes (ICG-Lipo) and modified it with the pardaxin peptide to realize an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeting function (Par-ICG-Lipo). A microfluidic technique was developed for loading ICG, a water-soluble molecule, into liposomes with a high encapsulation efficiency (greater than 90%). Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, ER-targeting photodynamic therapy (PDT) induced by Par-ICG-Lipo could promote the release of danger-signaling molecules (DAMPs) and tumor antigens (TAAs) in vivo, which significantly enhanced the immunogenicity in vivo and thus stimulates a strong antitumor immune response. This process would be further amplified by adopting dendritic cells. In general, our strategy transformed in situ tumor cells into therapeutic vaccines by ER-targeting PDT, which could provide a clinically applicable and effective approach for cancer treatment.

Abstract
AIM To explore the morphological brain changes among active thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients, inactive TAO patients and healthy controls and to investigate the neuropathological relationship of TAO using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. METHODS In this observational case-control study, we included 35 inactive TAO patients, 37 active TAO patients and 23 healthy controls. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis was conducted to evaluate the gray matter volume (GMV) changes among groups, and the correlations between GMV alterations and clinical parameters in active and inactive TAO groups were investigated. RESULTS Active TAO patients showed significantly increased GMV in the right inferior frontal gyrus, left superior frontal gyrus (SFG), orbital superior frontal gyrus, orbital middle frontal gyrus, precuneus and postcentral gyrus compared with controls and significantly increased GMV in the right middle temporal gyrus, left SFG and precuneus compared with the inactive TAO group. No significant differences were observed between the inactive TAO group and healthy controls. Notably, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated altered GMV among groups and significantly (p<0.001) differentiated active TAO from inactive TAO and healthy controls. In addition, the mean GMV in precuneus and postcentral gyrus were significantly associated with clinical parameters in active TAO. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested the localized GMV alterations among groups were associated with the pathophysiology of TAO and served as a potential discriminative pattern to detect clinical phases of TAO at the individual level. The altered brain morphometry may suggest a corresponding process of self-repair and remodeling of the brain structure as the disease progresses in TAO.

Abstract
AbstractAdoptive cell therapy (ACT) was one of the most promising anti-tumor modalities that has been confirmed to be especially effective in treating hematological malignancies. However, the clinical efficacy of ACT on solid tumor was greatly hindered by the insufficient tumor-infiltration of cytotoxic CD8 + T cells. Herein, we constructed a nanoplatform termed dual-binding magnetic nanoparticles (DBMN) that comprised PEG-maleimide (Mal), hyaluronic acid (HA) and Fe3O4 for adoptive T cell-modification and ACT-sensitization. After a simple co-incubation, DBMN was anchored onto the cell membrane (Primary linking) via Michael addition reaction between the Mal and the sulfhydryl groups on the surface of T cells, generating magnetized T cells (DBMN-T). Directed by external magnetic field and in-structure Fe3O4, DBMN-T was recruited to solid tumor where HA bond with the highly expressed CD44 on tumor cells (Secondary Linking), facilitating the recognition and effector-killing of tumor cells. Bridging adoptive T cells with host tumor cells, our DBMN effectively boosted the anti-solid tumor efficacy of ACT in a mouse model and simultaneously reduced toxic side effects.

Abstract
The landraces preserved by indigenous worldwide exhibited larger variation in the phenotypes and adaption to different environments, which suggests that they comprise rich resources and can be served as a gene pool for rice improvement. Despite extensive studies on cultivated rice, the variations and relationships between landraces and modern cultivated rice remain unclear. In this study, a total of 20 varieties that include 10 Oryza javanica collected from different countries worldwide and 10 Oryza indica from China were genotyped and yielded a sum of 99.9-Gb resequencing raw data. With the genomic sequence of the japonica cultivar Nipponbare as a reference, the following genetic features of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) ranged from 861,177 to 1,044,617, insertion-deletion polymorphisms (InDels) ranged from 164,018 to 211,135, and structural variation (SV) ranged from 3,313 to 4,959 were identified in Oryza javanica. Variation between the two subspecies was also determined that 584,104 SNPs, 75,351 InDels, 104,606 SNPs, and 19,872 InDels specific to Oryza indica and Oryza javanica, respectively. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG of Oryza javanica-specific SNP-related genes revealed that they participated in DNA metabolic process, DNA replication, and DNA integration. The sequence variation and candidate grain shape-related gene TGW2 were identified through Fst and sweep selective analysis. Hap4 of TGW2 is performed better than others. The whole genome sequence data and genetic variation information illustrated in this study will serve as an important gene pool for molecular breeding and facilitate genetic analysis of Oryza javanica varieties.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to identify the genetic causes of 12 women with primary infertility characterized by primarily oocyte maturation abnormality and consequent early embryonic arrest. METHODS Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on the probands, and the identified variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of the identified variants on the protein was accessed in silico. And we used qRT-PCR to detect the possible effects of the novel mutation on the mRNA level of NLRP5. RESULTS A novel homozygous frameshift variant (p.V429Efs*30) in NLRP5 and compound heterozygous variants with a novel frameshift variant (p.A297Efs*20) and a recurrent variant (c. 223-14_223-2delCCCTCCTGTTCCA) in PATL2 were identified in two unrelated affected individuals. qRT-PCR showed an obvious decrease of the mutant NLRP5 mRNA. In addition, the truncated proteins of NLRP5 and PATL2 were predicted to be non-functional due to the deletion of the most or the whole region of the critical functional domain(s) respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study identified novel mutations in NLRP5 and PATL2, further expanding the mutational and phenotypic spectrum of both genes. This is the first report of the NLRP5 mutations that associates with oocyte maturation abnormality in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epicutaneous sensitization is an important route for the production of IgE, and skin inflammation-induced IgE has recently been reported having features of natural antibody. Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis have differentially increased level of serum IgE; however, the production mechanism of IgE in these inflammatory skin diseases remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To explore the origin of IgE in AD and psoriasis by analyzing the B cell receptor repertoire. METHODS mRNA was prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of AD and psoriasis patients that had elevated serum levels of IgE, and immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) repertoires were sequenced after reverse transcription. Clonal lineages of B cells containing members expressing IgE were identified, and somatic hypermutations in IGH inherited from common ancestors within the clonal lineage were used to infer the relationships between B cells. RESULTS The proportions of IGHE from AD and psoriasis were higher than that of normal control, which were positively correlated with the levels of serum total IgE. The somatic hypermutation value of IGHE variable region was lower than that of IGHG and IGHA, but higher than IGHM and IGHD, indicating a mixed natural and adaptive origins of IgE; and psoriasis demonstrated lower level of hypermutation than AD. The Shannon indexes of CDR3 in IGHE of AD and psoriasis were higher than that of normal control, also supporting the natural origin. The VH usage of IgE was weakly biased in AD and psoriasis patients with high level of house dust mite-specific IgE. Comparison of the number of shared mutations in multi-isotype lineages containing IgE showed that isotype-switching from IgG-expressing B cells might be the major source of IgE in AD and psoriasis. CONCLUSION IgE has heterogeneous origin in AD and psoriasis, and skin inflammation may contribute to the increased production of natural IgE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aberrant DNA methylation may offer opportunities in revolutionizing cancer screening and diagnosis. We sought to identify a non-invasive DNA methylation-based screening approach using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Differentially, DNA methylation blocks were determined by comparing methylation profiles of biopsy-proven HCC, liver cirrhosis, and normal tissue samples with high throughput DNA bisulfite sequencing. A multi-layer HCC screening model was subsequently constructed based on tissue-derived differentially methylated blocks (DMBs). This model was tested in a cohort consisting of 120 HCC, 92 liver cirrhotic, and 290 healthy plasma samples including 65 hepatitis B surface antigen-seropositive (HBsAg+) samples, independently validated in a cohort consisting of 67 HCC, 111 liver cirrhotic, and 242 healthy plasma samples including 56 HBsAg+ samples. RESULTS Based on methylation profiling of tissue samples, 2321 DMBs were identified, which were subsequently used to construct a cfDNA-based HCC screening model, achieved a sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 98% in the training cohort and a sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 96% in the independent validation cohort. This model obtained a sensitivity of 76% in 37 early-stage HCC (Barcelona clinical liver cancer [BCLC] stage 0-A) patients. The screening model can effectively discriminate HCC patients from non-HCC controls, including liver cirrhotic patients, asymptomatic HBsAg+ and healthy individuals, achieving an AUC of 0.957(95% CI 0.939-0.975), whereas serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) only achieved an AUC of 0.803 (95% CI 0.758-0.847). Besides detecting patients with early-stage HCC from non-HCC controls, this model showed high capacity for distinguishing early-stage HCC from a high risk population (AUC=0.934; 95% CI 0.905-0.963), also significantly outperforming AFP. Furthermore, our model also showed superior performance in distinguishing HCC with normal AFP (< 20ng ml-1) from high risk population (AUC=0.93; 95% CI 0.892-0.969). CONCLUSIONS We have developed a sensitive blood-based non-invasive HCC screening model which can effectively distinguish early-stage HCC patients from high risk population and demonstrated its performance through an independent validation cohort. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was approved by the ethic committee of The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (KYLL2018072) and Chongqing University Cancer Hospital (2019167). The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov(# NCT04383353 ).

Abstract
Viral infectious diseases are a devastating and continuing threat to human and animal health. Receptor binding is the key step for viral entry into host cells. Therefore, recognizing viral receptors is fundamental for understanding the potential tissue tropism or host range of these pathogens. The rapid advancement of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has paved the way for studying the expression of viral receptors in different tissues of animal species at single-cell resolution, resulting in huge scRNA-seq datasets. However, effectively integrating or sharing these datasets among the research community is challenging, especially for laboratory scientists. In this study, we manually curated up-to-date datasets generated in animal scRNA-seq studies, analyzed them using a unified processing pipeline, and comprehensively annotated 107 viral receptors in 142 viruses and obtained accurate expression signatures in 2 100 962 cells from 47 animal species. Thus, the VThunter database provides a user-friendly interface for the research community to explore the expression signatures of viral receptors. VThunter offers an informative and convenient resource for scientists to better understand the interactions between viral receptors and animal viruses and to assess viral pathogenesis and transmission in species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune cells play important roles in mediating immune response and host defense against invading pathogens. However, insights into the molecular mechanisms governing circulating immune cell diversity among multiple species are limited. METHODS In this study, we compared the single-cell transcriptomes of immune cells from 12 species. Distinct molecular profiles were characterized for different immune cell types, including T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells. RESULTS Our data revealed the heterogeneity and compositions of circulating immune cells among 12 different species. Additionally, we explored the conserved and divergent cellular crosstalks and genetic regulatory networks among vertebrate immune cells. Notably, the ligand and receptor pair VIM-CD44 was highly conserved among the immune cells. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of the cross-species single-cell transcriptome atlas for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). This research should advance our understanding of the cellular taxonomy and fundamental functions of PBMCs, with important implications in evolutionary biology, developmental biology, and immune system disorders.

Abstract
Background: The participation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in antigen presentation shapes both the breadth and magnitude of specific T cell response. Dendritic cells (DCs) activated with nucleic acid or protein that encodes/incorporates multiple antigenic epitopes elicit MHC class I- and II- biased immunity, respectively. Studies demonstrate that an elevated MHC class I-directed CD8+ cytotoxicity T lymphocyte (CTL) response is able to provide survival benefits to patient with malignant tumor. However, a fully effective cancer therapy must elicit a diverse repertoire of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses, raising demands on a multifaceted activation of the MHC system. Current therapeutic strategies usually lack an orchestrated mobilization of the MHC class I and II responses. Vaccines with little synergistic effect or unmanageable elicitation of the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell immunity usually fail to induce a potent and durable anti-tumor protection. Methods: Here, cationic nanoemulsions (CNEs) complexed with full-length tumor model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) in the form of mRNA or protein were constructed and used as two antigenic platforms to prepare DCs vaccines with tailored MHC participation (i.e., mRNA-DCs and protein-DCs). In exploring a vaccine regimen with optimal tumor suppressing effect, the mixing ratio of mRNA-DCs and protein-DCs was manipulated. Results: Therapeutic DCs vaccines involving both antigenic platforms induced better anti-tumor immunity in murine E.G7-OVA lymphoma model and B16-OVA melanoma model, which can be further augmented upon a meticulous reallocation of the MHC class I and II responses. Conclusion: This work indicated that a simultaneous and coordinated mobilization of the MHC-restricted immunity might potentiate cancer therapy.

Oxygen nanocarrier broke the hypoxia trap of solid tumors and rescued transfection efficiency for gene therapy. J Nanobiotechnology 2021; 19:427.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene therapy shows great promise for a broad array of diseases. However, we found that hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) exerted significant inhibitory effects on transfection efficiency of a variety of gene vectors (such as Lipo 2000 and PEI) in an oxygen-dependent manner. Solid tumors inevitably resulted in acute hypoxic areas due to the rapid proliferation of tumor cells and the aberrant structure of blood vessels. Thus, the hypoxic TME severely limited the efficiency and application of gene therapy. METHODS In our previous study, we constructed endoplasmic reticulum-targeted cationic liposomes, PAR-Lipo, which could effectively deliver genes and ensure high transfection efficiency under normoxia. Unsatisfactorily, the transfection efficiency of PAR-Lipo was rather poor under hypoxia. We believed that reoxygenation was the most direct and effective means to rescue the low transfection under hypoxia. Hence, we fabricated liposomes modified with perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB@Lipo) to load oxygen and deliver it to tumor sites, which effectively alleviated the hypoxic nature of tumor. Then PAR-Lipo were applied to mediate high-efficiency delivery of tumor suppressor gene pTP53 to inhibit tumor progression. RESULTS The results showed that such staged strategy augmented the expression of P53 protein in tumors and extremely suppressed tumor growth. CONCLUSION This work was the first attempt to utilize an oxygen nanocarrier to assist the therapeutic effect of gene therapy under hypoxia, providing a new reference for gene therapy in malignant tumors.
