Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the potentially destructive effect of sympathetic activity on bone metabolism, its impact on bone microarchitecture, a key determinant of bone quality, has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aims to evaluate the impact of sympathetic activity on bone microarchitecture and bone strength in patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in 38 PPGL patients (15 males and 23 females). Bone turnover markers serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and β-carboxy-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type 1 collagen (β-CTX) were measured. 24-h urinary adrenaline (24hUE) and 24-h urinary norepinephrine levels (24hUNE) were measured to indicate sympathetic activity. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) was conducted to evaluate bone microarchitecture in PPGL patients and 76 age-, sex-matched healthy controls (30 males and 46 females). Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) simultaneously. RESULTS PPGL patients had a higher level of β-CTX. HR-pQCT assessment revealed that PPGL patients had notably thinner and more sparse trabecular bone (decreased trabecular number and thickness with increased trabecular separation), significantly decreased volume BMD (vBMD), and bone strength at both the radius and tibia compared with healthy controls. The deterioration of Tt.vBMD, Tb.Sp, and Tb.1/N.SD was more pronounced in postmenopausal patients compared with the premenopausal subjects. Moreover, subjects in the highest 24hUNE quartile (Q4) showed markedly lower Tb.N and higher Tb.Sp and Tb.1/N.SD at the tibia than those in the lowest quartile (Q1). Age-related bone loss was also exacerbated in PPGL patients to a certain extent. CONCLUSIONS PPGL patients had significantly deteriorated bone microarchitecture and strength, especially in the trabecular bone, with an increased bone resorption rate. Our findings provide clinical evidence that sympathetic overstimulation may serve as a secondary cause of osteoporosis, especially in subjects with increased sympathetic activity.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to develop and validate a novel prognostic nomogram to evaluate the survival benefit of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical data of HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy at four medical centers were retrospectively analyzed, including those who received PA-TACE and those who did not. These two categories of patients were randomly allocated to the development and validation cohorts in a 7:3 ratio. RESULTS A total of 1505 HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy were included in this study, comprising 723 patients who did not receive PA-TACE and 782 patients who received PA-TACE. Among them, patients who received PA-TACE experienced more adverse events, although these events were mild and manageable (Grade 1-2, all p < 0.05). Nomograms were constructed and validated for patients with and without PA-TACE using independent predictors that influenced disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). These two nomograms had C-indices greater than 0.800 in the development cohort and exhibited good calibration and discrimination ability compared to six conventional HCC staging systems. Patients in the intermediate-to-high-risk group in the nomogram who received PA-TACE had higher DFS and OS (all p < 0.05). In addition, tumor recurrence was significantly controlled in the intermediate-to-high-risk group of patients who received PA-TACE, while there was no significant difference in the low-risk group of patients who received PA-TACE. CONCLUSION The nomograms were developed and validated based on large-scale clinical data and can serve as online decision-making tools to predict survival benefits from PA-TACE in different subgroups of patients.

Abstract
The pressing need for multifunctional materials in medical settings encompasses a wide array of scenarios, necessitating specific tissue functionalities. A critical challenge is the occurrence of biofouling, particularly by contamination in surgical environments, a common cause of scaffolds impairment. Beyond the imperative to avoid infections, it is also essential to integrate scaffolds with living cells to allow for tissue regeneration, mediated by cell attachment. Here, we focus on the development of a versatile material for medical applications, driven by the diverse time-definite events after scaffold implantation. We investigate the potential of incorporating graphene oxide (GO) into polycaprolactone (PCL) and create a composite for 3D printing a scaffold with time-controlled antibacterial and anti-adhesive growth properties. Indeed, the as-produced PCL-GO scaffold displays a local hydrophobic effect, which is translated into a limitation of biological entities-attachment, including a diminished adhesion of bacteriophages and a reduction of E. coli and S. aureus adhesion of ∼81% and ∼69%, respectively. Moreover, the ability to 3D print PCL-GO scaffolds with different heights enables control over cell distribution and attachment, a feature that can be also exploited for cellular confinement, i.e., for microfluidics or wound healing applications. With time, the surface wettability increases, and the scaffold can be populated by cells. Finally, the presence of GO allows for the use of infrared light for the sterilization of scaffolds and the disruption of any bacteria cell that might adhere to the more hydrophilic surface. Overall, our results showcase the potential of PCL-GO as a versatile material for medical applications.

Abstract
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients have a poor prognosis after radio-frequency ablation (RFA), and investigating the risk factors affecting RFA and establishing predictive models are important for improving the prognosis of HCC patients. Methods Patients with HCC undergoing RFA in Shenzhen People's Hospital between January 2011 and December 2021 were included in this study. Using the screened independent influences on recurrence and survival, predictive models were constructed and validated, and the predictive models were then used to classify patients into different risk categories and assess the prognosis of different categories. Results Cox regression model indicated that cirrhosis (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.65), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ⩾400 ng/mL (HR = 2.03), tumor number (multiple) (HR = 2.11), tumor diameter ⩾20 mm (HR = 2.30), and platelets (PLT) ⩾ 244 (109/L) (HR = 2.37) were independent influences for recurrence of patients after RFA. On the contrary, AFP ⩾400 ng/mL (HR = 2.48), tumor number (multiple) (HR = 2.52), tumor diameter ⩾20 mm (HR = 2.25), PLT ⩾244 (109/L) (HR = 2.36), and hemoglobin (HGB) ⩾120 (g/L) (HR = 0.34) were regarded as independent influences for survival. The concordance index (C-index) of the nomograms for predicting disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was 0.727 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.770-0.684) and 0.770 (95% CI = 0.821-7.190), respectively. The prognostic performance of the nomograms was significantly better than other staging systems by analysis of the time-dependent C-index and decision curves. Each patient was scored using nomograms and influencing factors, and patients were categorized into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups based on their scores. In the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, DFS and OS were significantly better in the low-risk group than in the intermediate- and high-risk groups. Conclusions The 2 prediction models created in this work can effectively predict the recurrence and survival rates of HCC patients following RFA.

Abstract
CO2 methanation has attracted considerable attention as a promising strategy for recycling CO2 and generating valuable methane. This study presents a niobium-doped CeO2-supported Ni catalyst (Ni/NbCe), which demonstrates remarkable performance in terms of CO2 conversion and CH4 selectivity, even when operating at a low temperature of 250 °C. Structural analysis reveals the incorporation of Nb species into the CeO2 lattice, resulting in the formation of a Nb-Ce-O solid solution. Compared with the Ni/CeO2 catalyst, this solid solution demonstrates an improved spatial distribution. To comprehend the impact of the Nb-Ce-O solid solution on refining the electronic properties of the Ni-Ce interfacial sites, facilitating H2 activation, and accelerating the hydrogenation of CO2* into HCOO*, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted. These investigations shed light on the mechanism through which the activity of CO2 methanation is enhanced, which differs from the commonly observed CO* pathway triggered by oxygen vacancies (OV). Consequently, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between the electronic properties of the catalyst's active sites and the reaction pathway in CO2 methanation over Ni-based catalysts.

Abstract
Background: The presence of microvascular invasion (MVI) significantly worsens the surgical outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this research was to investigate the survival benefit of adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with MVI after hepatectomy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1372 HCC patients who underwent curative liver resection in four medical institutions. In order to minimize confounding factors and selection bias between groups, Propensity Score Matching (PSM) (1:1) was performed to ensure balanced clinical characteristics. Results: A total of 1056 patients were enrolled after PSM, including 672 patients with MVI and 384 patients without MVI. Adjuvant TACE improves DFS (Median, 36 months vs 14 months, p < 0.001) and OS (Median, NA vs 32 months, p < 0.001) in patients harboring MVI, but not in those (all p > 0.05) lacking MVI. In different different CNLC stages, adjuvant TACE improved DFS (CNLC stage I, Median, 37 vs 15 months; CNLC stage II, Median, 25 vs 11 months, p < 0.001) and OS (CNLC stage I, Median, NA vs 32 months, p < 0.001; CNLC stage II, Median, NA vs 26 months, p = 0.002) in patients who carried MVI, but not in those (CNLC stage I-II, all p > 0.05) who lacked MVI. Conclusions: Adjuvant TACE may be a potentially effective treatment option for improving survival outcomes in early-HCC patients harboring MVI, but not in those lacking MVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between the impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM) and the external root resorption (ERR) of the mandibular second molar (MSM) was analysed with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The risk factors affecting the ERR of the MSM were examined to provide a reference. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 327 patients (total: 578 teeth) admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University for IMTM extraction from January 2017 to December 2019 was chosen and divided according to gender and age. The correlation between the IMTM and ERR of MSM was analysed, including inclination angle, impaction direction and depth. The relationship of mandibular ascending ramus classification with ERR of MSM was also analysed. In addition, the correlation between the MTM impaction type and the severity of ERR was analysed. RESULTS The incidence of ERR of MSM in male patients was higher than in females (27.9% vs.17.6%, p = 0.018). The occurrence and the site of ERR showed statistical differences in the inclination angle [(≤20°, 3.6%) vs. (21°-40°, 27.1%) vs. (41°-60°, 27.6%) vs. (61°-80°, 25.6%) vs. (>80°, 31.7%), p <0.001], impaction direction [(Vertical, 1.1%) vs. (Mesial, 32.7%) vs. (Horizontal, 25.3%), p <0.001] and depth of MTM [(Low position, 38.6%) vs. (Median position, 32.0%) vs. (High position, 13.7%), p <0.001]. Also, there was a significant difference in the mandibular ascending ramus type [(Class I, 17.4%) vs. (Class II, 32.3%) vs. (Class III, 44.9%), p <0.001]. In addition, the severity of ERR showed statistical differences in the mesial (40.9%, p<0.05), lower impaction (54.5%, p<0.05) depth of MTM and type III of mandibular ascending ramus (63.6%, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The inclination angle, impaction direction, and depth of MTM were the influencing factors for the occurrence and site of ERR. Also, mandibular ascending ramus type was the impact fact. For MTM with mesioangular, lower impaction, and mandibular ascending ramus with type III, the ERR of the MSM was severer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early relapse after hepatectomy presents a significant challenge in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to construct and validate a novel nomogram model for predicting early relapse and survival after hepatectomy for HCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a large-scale, multicenter retrospective analysis of 1,505 patients with surgically treated HCC from 4 medical centers. All patients were randomly divided into either the training cohort (n=1,053) or the validation cohort (n=452) in a 7:3 ratio. A machine learning-based nomogram model for prediction of HCC was established by integrating multiple risk factors that influence early relapse and survival, which were identified from preoperative clinical data and postoperative pathologic characteristics of the patients. RESULTS The median time to early relapse was 7 months, whereas the median time from early relapse to death was only 19 months. The concordance indexes of the postoperative nomogram for predicting disease-free survival and overall survival were 0.741 and 0.739, respectively, with well-calibrated curves demonstrating good consistency between predicted and observed outcomes. Moreover, the accuracy and predictive performance of the postoperative nomograms were significantly superior to those of the preoperative nomogram and the other 7 HCC staging systems. The patients in the intermediate- and high-risk groups of the model had significantly higher probabilities of early and critical recurrence (P<.001), whereas those in the low-risk group had higher probabilities of late and local recurrence (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS This postoperative nomogram model can better predict early recurrence and survival and can serve as a useful tool to guide clinical treatment decisions for patients with HCC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions induced by subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in patients undergoing SCIT injections in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). Methods: This is a single center retrospective cohort study. Using the outpatient information system of PUMCH, the demographic information and injection-related reaction data of patients undergoing SCIT injection in Allergy Department of PUMCH from December 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed to count the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions caused by SCIT. Mann-Whitney nonparametric test or chi-square test was used for single-factor analysis, and multiple logistic regression was used for multiple-factor analysis. Results: A total of 2 897 patients received 18 070 SCIT injections in Allergy Department during the four years, and 40 systemic allergic reactions occurred, with the overall incidence rate of 0.22%. The incidence of systemic allergic reaction was 0.37% when using imported dust mite preparation and 0.15% when using domestic multi-component allergen preparation. The risk factors significantly related with SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using imported dust mite preparation were age less than 18 years old (OR=3.186,95%CI: 1.255-8.085), highest injection concentration (OR value could not be calculated because all patients with systemic reactions were injected with highest concentration), and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=22.264,95%CI: 8.205-60.411). The risk factors for SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using domestic allergen preparation were 5 or more types of allergens (OR=3.455,95%CI: 1.147-10.402), highest injection concentration (OR=3.794,95%CI: 1.226-11.740) and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=63.577,95%CI: 22.248-181.683). However, SCIT injection in pollen allergic patients during the pollen season did not show a correlation with systemic allergic reaction. Conclusion: The incidence of SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions was low in the Chinese patient population of this study. Patients with one or more risk factors, such as multiple allergen injection, highest injection concentration, large local reaction in previous injection, should be given high attention and vigilance against systemic allergic reactions.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the efficacy, safety, and long-term prognosis of intermediate-dose cytarabine (Ara-c) regimen in the treatment of children with refractory risk organ involvement Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Methods: Clinical data of 17 children with multisystem and risk organ involvement LCH who failed the first-line therapy and were treated with intermediate-dose Ara-c (250 mg/m2, twice daily) regimen in the Hematology Center, Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2013 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. In addition to the basic treatment of vindesine and dexamethasone, the patients received two regimens: regimen A: the intermediate-dose Ara-c combined with cladribine and regimen B: the intermediate-dose Ara-c alone. The efficacy, safety and prognosis of the two regimens were analyzed. Results: Among all 17 patients, there were 11 males and 6 females, with the diagnosis age of 2.1 (1.6, 2.7) years. Ten children received regimen A, all of them achieved active disease-better (AD-B) after 8 courses of induction therapy. The disease activity scores (DAS) decreased from 5.5 (3.0, 9.0) to 1.0 (0, 2.3). Seven children received regimen B, and 6 of them achieved AD-B after 8 courses of induction therapy. The DAS decreased from 4.0 (2.0, 4.0) to 1.0 (0, 2.0). The follow-up time was 6.2 (4.9,7.2) and 5.2 (3.7,5.8) years in group A and B. The 5-year overall survival rate was 100.0% in both groups, and the 5-year event free survival rate was (88.9±10.5)% and (85.7±13.2)% in group A and B. Grade 3 or 4 myelosuppression was observed in 8 patients in group A and 2 patients in group B. Conclusions: The intermediate-dose Ara-c regimen (with or without cladribine) is effective and safe for patients with refractory high-risk LCH, with a good long-term prognosis.

Abstract
The probiotic Enterococcus faecium is a gut microbe with immunomodulatory effects, which has been widely used to prevent diarrhoea in pigs and birds. Escherichia coli is a common pathogen that causes inflammatory bowel disease in animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of E. faecium on enteritis in goats. Forty goats were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups: control, E. faecium, E. coli, and E. faecium + E. coli. The changes of physiological indicators and diarrhoea scoring were evaluated on days -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. The pathological examination, inflammatory cytokines mRNA expression and bacterial counts in jejunum and caecum were detected on day 4 and 8. The results showed that body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate and leukocyte counts all increased from the 2nd to the 6th day after feeding with E. coli, and the diarrhoea score was significantly increased. However, E. faecium-pretreated goats had lower body temperatures and fewer leukocytes than E. coli-treated goats on day 2, as well as decreased diarrhoea scores. E. coli treatment caused histopathological damage and morphological changes in the jejunum and caecum, while pretreatment with E. faecium significantly alleviated these injuries. E. faecium pretreatment can reduce the load of E. coli and increase the prevalence of Lactobacillus, thereby balancing the microbiota in the intestine. Furthermore, E. coli-infected goats pretreated with E. faecium showed obvious inhibition of Toll-like receptor 4, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor-α mRNA expression in the jejunum and caecum compared to that in the E. coli treatment group. In conclusion, the addition of E. faecium to goat feed is beneficial for improving clinical symptoms, maintaining intestinal mucosa integrity, balancing the microbiota and decreasing inflammatory responses in E. coli-induced intestinal injury.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of a nomogram predicting the outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) based on clinical characteristics and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of hyperintense lesions. Methods: A case-control study. Consecutive patients, aged 30-88(59±13) years old, with ICH were recruited at the Stroke Center of Zhengzhou People's Hospital from January 2018 to August 2021. Patients were divided into a group with DWI lesions and a group without DWI lesions depending on whether there were DWI hyperintense lesions distant from the hematoma. Prognosis was evaluated at 90 days via the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify independent predictors of a poor ICH outcome (mRS score≥4), and a nomogram model was developed. The performance of the nomogram was validated via the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and a calibration chart. Results: Of the 303 patients included in the study, 24.8% presented with DWI lesions; 17.5% with asymptomatic DWI lesions and 7.3% with symptomatic DWI lesions. Poor outcomes were significantly more frequent in the group with DWI lesions than in the group without DWI lesions (χ2=21.32, P<0.001). In multivariable regression analysis, age [odds ratio (OR)=1.032, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.002-1.063, P=0.035], hematoma volume (OR=1.050, 95%CI 1.011-1.090, P=0.012), hematoma location (OR=3.839, 95%CI 1.248-11.805, P=0.019), DWI lesions (OR=3.955, 95%CI 1.906-8.206, P<0.001), and baseline NIHSS scores (OR=1.102, 95%CI 1.038-1.170, P=0.001) were independent predictors of a poor outcome. In subgroup analysis patients with asymptomatic DWI lesions had a 3-fold greater risk of a poor outcome compared to those without DWI lesions (OR=3.135, 95%CI 1.382-7.112, P=0.006), and patients with symptomatic DWI lesions had a 7-fold greater risk of a poor outcome compared to those without DWI lesions (OR=7.126, 95%CI 2.279-22.277, P=0.001). A nomogram model was established based on the independent predictors for a poor outcome. The AUC of the nomogram was 0.846 (95%CI 0.795-0.898), and a calibration chart indicated good consistency between values predicted by the nomogram and actual observed values. Conclusions: DWI lesions are an independent risk factor for a poor outcome in patients with ICH-particularly symptomatic DWI lesions. A nomogram model based on clinical characteristics and DWI lesions exhibited good efficacy when predicting the outcome of ICH.

Abstract
High surface ozone (O3) levels affect human and environmental health. The Fenwei Plain (FWP), one of the critical regions for China's "Blue Sky Protection Campaign", has reported severe O3 pollution. This study investigates the spatiotemporal properties and the causes of O3 pollution over the FWP using high-resolution data from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) from 2019 to 2021. This study characterizes spatial and temporal variations in O3 concentration by linking O3 columns and surface monitoring using a trained deep forest machine learning model. O3 concentrations in summer were 2-3 times higher than those found in winter due to higher temperatures and greater solar irradiation. The spatial distributions of O3 correlate with the solar radiation showing decreased trends from the northeastern to the southwestern FWP, with the highest O3 values in Shanxi Province and the lowest in Shaanxi Province. For urban areas, croplands and grasslands, the O3 photochemistry in summer is NOx-limited or in the transitional regime, while it is VOC-limited in winter and other seasons. Reducing NOx emissions would be effective for decreasing O3 levels in summer, while VOC reductions are necessary for winter. The annual cycle in vegetated areas included both NOx-limited and transitional regimes, indicating the importance of NOx controls to protect ecosystems. The O3 response to limiting precursors shown here is of importance for optimizing control strategies and is illustrated by emission changes during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival benefit of adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the survival efficacy of adjuvant TACE after hepatectomy for HCC. METHODS 1491 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy between January 2018 and September 2021 at four medical centers in China were retrospectively analyzed, including 782 patients who received adjuvant TACE and 709 patients who did not receive adjuvant TACE. Propensity score matching (PSM) (1:1) was performed to minimize selection bias, which balanced the clinical characteristics of the two groups. RESULTS A total of 1254 patients were enrolled after PSM, including 627 patients who received adjuvant TACE and 627 patients who did not receive adjuvant TACE. Patients who received adjuvant TACE had higher disease-free survival (DFS, 1- ,2-, and 3-year: 78%-68%-62% vs. 69%-57%-50%, p < 0.001) and overall survival (OS, 1- ,2-, and 3-year: 96%-88%-80% vs. 90%-77%-66%, p < 0.001) than those who did not receive adjuvant TACE (Median DFS was 39 months). Among the different levels of risk factors affecting prognosis [AFP, Lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, Maximum tumor diameter, Number of tumors, Child-Pugh classification, Liver cirrhosis, Vascular invasion (imaging), Microvascular invasion, Satellite nodules, Differentiation, Chinese liver cancer stage II-IIIa], the majority of patients who received adjuvant TACE had higher DFS or OS than those who did not receive adjuvant TACE. More patients who received adjuvant TACE accepted subsequent antitumor therapy such as liver transplantation, re-hepatectomy and local ablation after tumor recurrence, while more patients who did not receive adjuvant TACE accepted subsequent antitumor therapy with TACE after tumor recurrence (All p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant TACE may be a potential way to monitor early tumor recurrence and improve postoperative survival in patients with HCC.

Abstract
To evaluate the predictive value of early warning scores for intensive care unit (ICU) admission in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For COVID-19 patients who were admitted to Shijiazhuang People's Hospital from January 2021 to February 2021, national early warning score (NEWS), national early warning score 2 (NEWS2), rapid emergency medicine score (REMS), quick sepsis-related organ failure (qSOFA), altered consciousness, blood urea nitrogen, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and age-65 (CURB-65) were used to evaluate the inpatient condition and the predictive value for ICU admission. A total of 368 patients were included, and 32 patients (8.7%) were transferred to the ICU. The median age was 49.0 (34.0,61.0) years. The scores of NEWS, NEWS2, REMS, and CURB-65 were 1 (0, 2), 1 (0, 2), 4 (2, 6) and 0 (0, 1), respectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) cure (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive value in detecting patients who are at risk of being transferred to the ICU. Area under the ROC AUC of NEWS was 0.756, sensitivity 65.6%, and specificity 71.3%. ROC AUC of NEWS2 was 0.732, sensitivity 62.5%, and specificity 61.3%. ROC AUC of REMS was 0.787, sensitivity 84.4%, and specificity 64.6%. ROC AUC of CURB-65 was 0.814, sensitivity 81.3%, and specificity 76.8%. The predictive value of NEWS and NEWS2 combined with age were significantly improved. The ROC AUC of NEWS combined with age was 0.885, sensitivity 85.1%, and specificity 75.0%. The ROC AUC of NEWS2 combined with age was 0.883, sensitivity 84.2%, and specificity 75.0%. NEWS and NEWS2 combined with age can be used as a predictive tool for whether COVID-19 patients will be admitted to the ICU.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of ketochromate tromethamine and phloroglucinol combination therapy in early expulsion of ureteral calculi after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in patients with distal ureteral clculi. The clinical and follow-up data of 275 patients with lower ureteral calculi who underwent ESWL were collected retrospectively in Civil Aviation General Hospital from January 1st 2021 to June 30th 2021. According to whether adjunctive medication used before ESWL patients were divided into control group and medication group (with ketochromate tromethamine 30 mg and phloroglucinol 80 mg before ESWL). Primary endpoint is the clearance rate of ureteral calculi after ESWL, secondary endpoint are the other outcomes and drug allergy. There were 138 cases in control group [117 were males and mean age (42±13) years]. Meanwhile, there were 137 cases in medication group [118 were males and mean age (42±12) years]. The clearance rate of ureteral calculi at 24 h (67.88% vs 48.55%, P=0.001)、one week (76.64% vs 57.97%, P=0.001) and four weeks (89.05% vs 76.08%, P=0.005)after ESWL in medication group were significant higher than that in control group. There was a significant difference in the VAS score of pain scale after ESWL (1.77±0.80 vs 2.06±1.04, P=0.012) and re-ESWL rate (8.03% vs 17.39%,P=0.02) between two groups, but no difference with gross hematuria in 6 h after ESWL and drug allergy. Conclusions combination use of ketochromate tromethamine and phloroglucinol significantly improve early expulsion of ureteral calculi after ESWL in patients with distal ureteral calculi, with no side effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolisation (PA-TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated by microvascular invasion (MVI). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 1505 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy at four medical centers, including 782 patients who received PA-TACE and 723 patients who did not receive adjuvant PA-TACE, has been conducted. Propensity score matching (PSM) (1:1) was performed on the data to minimise selection bias, which resulted in a balanced clinical profile between groups. RESULTS After PSM, 620 patients who received PA-TACE and 620 patients who did not receive PA-TACE were included. Disease-free survival (DFS, 1-, 2-, and 3-year: 88%-68%-61% vs. 70%-58%-51%, p < 0.001) and overall survival (OS, 1-, 2-, and 3-year: 96%-89%-82% vs. 89%-77%-67%, p < 0.001) were significantly higher in patients who received PA-TACE than in those who did not. Patients with MVI who received PA-TACE had significantly higher DFS (1-, 2-, and 3-year: 68%-57%-48% vs. 46%-31%-27%, p < 0.001) and OS (1-, 2-, and 3-year: 96%-84%-77% vs. 79%-58%-40%, p < 0.001) than those who did not receive PA-TACE. Among the six different liver cancer stages, MVI-negative patients did not have significant survival outcomes from PA-TACE (p > 0.05), whereas MVI-positive patients achieved higher DFS and OS from it (p < 0.05). Liver dysfunction, fever, and nausea/vomiting were the most common adverse events in patients receiving PA-TACE. There was no significant difference in grade 3 or 4 adverse events between the groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolisation has a good safety profile and may be a potentially beneficial treatment modality for survival outcomes in patients with HCC, especially those with concomitant MVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large-scale preclinical Alzheimer's disease study based on β-amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) has not been conducted in China. OBJECTIVES Establish a cohort on Alzheimer's disease spectrum, especially the preclinical stages, and determine the factors influencing the acceptance of β-amyloid PET scan screening in China. DESIGN Longitudinal. SETTING Shanghai, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 4386 participants were screened and 2451 participants who met enrollment criteria were eventually included in this report. MEASUREMENTS The multidimensional data was collected, including comprehensive assessments, PET and magnetic resonance imaging scans, genetics, and plasma biomarkers. RESULTS There were 571 participants in the normal cognition group, 625 participants in the subjective cognitive decline group, 155 participants in the objectively defined subtle cognitive decline group, 501 participants in the mild cognitive impairment group, 471 participants in Alzheimer's disease group, and 128 participants with cognitive impairment from other known causes. Significant differences in demographics, florbetapir PET, APOE, and neuropsychological tests were found among the groups. Eight hundred and seventeen participants (33.3%) completed the florbetapir PET scanning. Non-demented individuals with higher age, lower education years, male, with a family history of dementia, and higher self-report depression prefer to undergo PET scans. Acceptance of PET scans did not correlate with objectively assessed cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease Study was designed to establish a large-scale cohort with comprehensive data collection. Our findings may help to understand the factors affecting the acceptance of β-amyloid PET in urban areas of China and help us address the low acceptance challenge.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predictive value of SYNTAX-Ⅱ score on long term prognosis of patients diagnosed with chronic total occlusion (CTO) and received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Patients undergoing CTO-PCI in Fuwai hospital from January 2010 to December 2013 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. The SYNTAX-Ⅱ score of the patients was calculated. According to SYNTAX-Ⅱ score tertiles, patients were stratified as follows: SYNTAX-Ⅱ≤20, 20<SYNTAX-Ⅱ≤27, SYNTAX-Ⅱ>27. Primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACCE), including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke and any revascularization. Secondary endpoints included stent thrombosis, heart failure and target lesion failure (TLF). Patients were followed up by outpatient visit or telephone call at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after PCI, and annually up to 5 years. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors of all-cause death in patients undergoing CTO-PCI. The predictive value of SYNTAX score with SYNTAX-Ⅱ score for all-cause death was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC). Results: A total of 2 391 patients with CTO and received PCI were enrolled in this study. The mean age was (57.0±10.5) years, 1 994 (83.40%) patients were male. There were 802 patients in lower tertile group (SYNTAX-Ⅱ≤20), 798 patients in intermediate group (20<SYNTAX-Ⅱ≤27) and 791 patients in upper tertile group (SYNTAX-Ⅱ>27). At the end of 5-year follow-up, the loss to follow-up rate of the three groups was 9.10%(73/802), 10.78%(86/798)and 8.85%(70/791), respectively. The rate of all-cause mortality (1.78% (13/729) vs. 3.65% (26/712) vs. 9.02% (65/721), P<0.001), cardiac death (1.37% (10/729) vs. 2.11% (15/712) vs. 4.85% (35/721), P<0.001), target vessel myocardial infarctions (4.25% (31/729) vs. 4.49% (32/712) vs. 7.07% (51/721), P=0.03), probable stent thrombosis (1.51% (11/729) vs. 2.81% (20/712) vs. 3.61% (26/721), P=0.04) and heart failure (1.78% (13/729) vs. 1.97% (14/712) vs. 5.41% (39/721), P<0.001) increased in proportion to increasing SYNTAX-Ⅱ score (all P<0.05). Multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that female (HR=2.05, 95%CI 1.12-3.73, P=0.01), left ventricular ejection fraction (HR=0.97, 95%CI 0.95-1.00, P=0.05) and SYNTAX-Ⅱ score (HR=1.07, 95%CI 1.02-1.11,P=0.01) were independent predictors for all-cause mortality in patients undergoing CTO-PCI. The predicted value of the SYNTAX-Ⅱ score for all-cause death was significantly higher than the SYNTAX score (AUC 0.71 vs. 0.60, P=0.003). Conclusion: For CTO patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, SYNTAX-Ⅱ score is an independent predictor for 5-year all-cause death, and SYNTAX-Ⅱ serves as an important predictor for all-cause death in these patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between changes in waist circumference, body weight, and blood pressure change in a high cardiovascular risk population and to provide a theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Methods: A total of 12 931 patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease participating in the follow-up survey in 2016 were selected as the study subjects, and their long-term follow-up data from 2017 to 2019 were included in the analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using a t-test, χ2 test, and generalized estimation equation (GEE). Results: Increased waist circumference, body weight, and BMI were associated with a higher risk of elevated blood pressure in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Waist circumference, weight, and BMI were reduced when blood pressure levels were lower. SBP and DBP increased by 0.200 (95%CI: 0.164-0.236) mmHg and 0.085 (95%CI: 0.066-0.105) mmHg for each 1 cm increase of waist circumference. SBP increased by 0.355 (95%CI: 0.289-0.421) mmHg and DBP increased by 0.182 (95%CI: 0.144-0.220) mmHg for each 1 kg increase in body weight. For each 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI, SBP increased by 1.100 (95%CI: 1.194-1.258) mmHg, and DBP increased by 0.365 (95%CI: 0.273-0.456) mmHg. Compared with urban residents, SBP changes more with waist circumference and body weight, and DBP changes more with waist circumference in high-risk cardiovascular disease groups (all P for interaction <0.05). SBP with waist circumference and BMI and DBP with BMI was greater in participants without hypertension than in those with hypertension (all P for interaction <0.05). Conclusion: There is a positive linear correlation between the changes in waist circumference, body weight, and BMI and the changes in blood pressure in a high-risk cardiovascular disease population.

Abstract
Aiming at the challenge that environmental protection and high-temperature fluid loss reduction performance of the traditional water-based drilling fluid treatment agent are difficult to balance, our studies added psyllium husk as a high-temperature-resistant and environmentally friendly filtrate reducer to a water-based drilling fluid. The composition, physical and chemical properties, and microstructure of psyllium husk are characterized. Then, the effects of psyllium husk after hot rolling at different temperatures on the rheological properties and fluid loss properties of bentonite-based slurry are evaluated. The results show that the psyllium husk added to the bentonite-based slurry can effectively improve the rheological properties and fluid loss properties of the bentonite-based slurry, and the temperature resistance can reach 160 °C. After hot rolling at 160 °C, adding 1 w/v % psyllium husk can reduce the API fluid loss and high-temperature and high-pressure fluid loss of the bentonite-based slurry by 76.04 and 56.91%, respectively, showing excellent fluid loss reduction performance at high temperatures. The branched structure and uronic acid of psyllium husk can inhibit the degradation of its own molecular structure to a certain extent, which is the fundamental reason why psyllium husk still has excellent fluid loss reduction performance at high temperatures. Psyllium husk is expected to replace some traditional synthetic polymers and be used in environmentally friendly high-temperature-resistant water-based drilling fluids.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib, liposomal doxorubicin, etoposide, methylprednisolone+/-PEG-asparaginase (RU-DEP+/-L) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) pediatric hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Methods: The clinical data of R/R pediatric HLH, who accepted the RU-DEP+/-L regimen at Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 16 patients were included in this study, including 13 males and 3 females, aged[M(Q1,Q3)] 1 (1, 2) years at diagnosis. Thirteen patients were diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-HLH, 2 with EBV-induced primary HLH, and 1 with unclear etiology, among which 3 patients were co-infected with CMV. After the first-line treatment, 11 patients had no response, and 5 patients relapsed after complete response. Nine patients received the RU-L-DEP regimen, and 7 patients received the RU-DEP regimen. The overall response rate and complete response of RU-DEP+/-L treatment were 10/16 and 3/16, respectively. The negative conversion rate of plasma EBV-DNA was 7/15. The median follow-up time was 35.1 (2.4, 40.7) months, and 9/16 patients were survival. The 3-year overall survival rate after RU-DEP+/-L treatment in response and accepted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was higher than that without response and did not receive HSCT (P=0.048). Among the 16 patients, 9 had varying degrees of myelosuppression, and 13 had an infection. Conclusions: RU-DEP+/-L can be used as a salvage treatment in R/R pediatric HLH, which can provide a bridge to HSCT and play an important role in the control of HLH. The main adverse reactions are myelosuppression and infection, which can be tolerated.

Abstract
Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance frequently occurs in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR Thr790Met mutation (T790M+) is seen in ∼50% of patients. We assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BPI-15086, a novel, ATP-competitive, irreversible, third-generation, mutation-selective EGFR-TKI in patients with EGFR T790M-mutated NSCLC. Patients and methods This two-center, phase I, dose-escalation study included patients who were 18-65 years old, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic T790M+ NSCLC who were not surgical or radiotherapy candidates, and had imaging-identified disease progression after prior EGFR-TKIs. This dose-escalation study enrolled patients using a 3 + 3 study design. Patients received 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mg/day orally in 21-day cycles. The primary endpoints were safety, tolerability, and PK. Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). The dose-expansion study was not conducted. Results We enrolled 17 patients from 29 December 2016 to 16 May 2018, in the safety and full analysis sets. All patients completed a single dosing trial, and no adverse events (AEs) causing drug discontinuation were seen. Grade 1-2 nausea, hypoalbuminemia, and decreased appetite were the most common treatment-related AEs. Grade 3 hyperglycemia was seen in one patient dosed at 300 mg/day. The ORR and DCR were 17.7% [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.8% to 43.4%] and 47.1% (95% CI 23.0% to 72.2%), respectively. Conclusion BPI-15086 is a safe and tolerable third-generation EGFR-TKI with a rationale for further clinical studies. BPI-15086 is safe and has partial effectiveness in patients with advanced T790M+ NSCLC after previous EGFR-TKI therapy. A different safety profile for BPI-15086 compared with other third-generation EGFR-TKIs. The modest efficacy in this study is still deemed important and should be added to the literature of third-generation TKIs.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the prevalence of osteoporosis and related factors in postmenopausal women aged ≥40 years in China and provide scientific evidence for osteoporosis prevention and control. Methods: Data of this study were from the 2018 China Osteoporosis Epidemiological Survey, covering 44 counties (districts) in 11 provinces in China. Related variables were collected by questionnaire survey and physical measurement, and the BMD of lumbar spine and proximal femur was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorption method. The prevalence of osteoporosis and its 95%CI in postmenopausal women aged ≥40 years were estimated with complex sampling weights. Results: A total of 5 728 postmenopausal women aged ≥40 years were included in the analysis and the prevalence of osteoporosis was 32.5% (95%CI: 30.3%-34.7%). The prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women aged 40-49 years, 50-59 years, 60-69 years, 70-79 years, and ≥80 years were 16.0% (95%CI:4.5%-27.5%), 18.4% (95%CI:15.9%-20.8%), 37.5% (95%CI:34.5%-40.4%), 52.9% (95%CI: 47.5%-58.3%), and 68.0% (95%CI:55.9%-80.1%) respectively. The prevalence of osteoporosis was higher (P<0.001) in those with education level of primary school or below (47.2%, 95%CI: 43.0%-51.3%) and in those with individual annual income less than 10 000 Yuan, (40.3%, 95%CI: 36.9%-43.7%). The prevalence of osteoporosis was 35.1% in rural areas (95%CI: 32.0%-38.1%), which was higher than that in urban areas (P<0.001). The prevalence of osteoporosis in low weight, normal weight, overweight and obese groups were 69.9% (95%CI: 59.0%-80.8%), 42.2% (95%CI: 38.7%-45.7%), 24.2% (95%CI: 21.3%-27.1%) and 14.6% (95%CI: 11.1%-18.0%), respectively. The prevalence of osteoporosis in those with menstrual maintenance years ≤30 years and in those with menopause years ≥11 years were 46.1% (95%CI:40.8%-51.3%) and 48.2% (95%CI:45.0%-51.3%), respectively. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that age ≥60 years, education level of primary school or below, annual household income per capita less than 10 000 Yuan, low body weight, menstrual maintenance years ≤30 years, menopause years ≥11 years were risk factors of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in China. Conclusions: The prevalence of osteoporosis was high in postmenopausal women aged ≥40 years in China, and there were differences in osteoporosis prevalence among different socioeconomic groups. Effective interventions should be taken for the prevention and control of osteoporosis in key groups in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of hydrogen peroxide (HP) pretreatment with low molarity on oxidative stress induced apoptosis of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods: The experimental research methods were used. BMSCs were isolated and cultured from two 2-week-old male BALB/c mice by the whole bone marrow culture method. The 3rd-7th passages of cells in logarithmic growth phase were used for the experiments after identification. According to the random number table (the same grouping method below), the cells were divided into 0 μmol/L HP group (without HP, the same below), 25 μmol/L HP group, 50 μmol/L HP group, 100 μmol/L HP group, 150 μmol/L HP group, 200 μmol/L HP group, 250 μmol/L HP group, and 300 μmol/L HP group in which cells were treated by the corresponding final molarity of HP, respectively. The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry (n=4) after 24 hours of culture. The cells were divided into 0 μmol/L HP group, 25 μmol/L HP group, 50 μmol/L HP group, and 100 μmol/L HP group in which cells were treated by the corresponding final molarity of HP, respeclively. After 24 hours of culture, the protein expressions of B-lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-related X protein (Bax) were detected by Western blotting, and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated (n=3). The cells were divided into 0 μmol/L HP group, 25 μmol/L HP group, 50 μmol/L HP group, 100 μmol/L HP group, 200 μmol/L HP group, and 300 μmol/L HP group in which cells were treated by the corresponding final molarity of HP, respectively. After 24 hours of culture, the protein expressions of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and phosphorylated GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) were detected by Western blotting (n=3). The cells were divided into 0 μmol/L HP group, 50 μmol/L HP group, and 300 μmol/L HP group in which cells were treated by the corresponding final molarity of HP, respeclively, and HP pretreatment group with 50 μmol/L HP being added in advance for 12 h and then 300 μmol/L HP being added. After 24 hours of culture, the morphology and growth of cells were observed by inverted fluorescence microscopy (non-fluorescent condition) and immunofluorescence method, the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry, the protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, cysteine aspartic acid specific protease-3 (caspase-3), caspase-9, cleavage caspase-3, cleavage caspase-9, GSK-3β, and p-GSK-3β were detected by Western blotting, and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated, with all the number of samples being 3. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni test. Results: After 24 hours of culture, compared with that in 0 μmol/L HP group, the apoptosis rate of cells did not change significantly in 25 μmol/L HP group, 50 μmol/L HP group, or 100 μmol/L HP group (P>0.05) but increased significantly in 150 μmol/L HP group, 200 μmol/L HP group, 250 μmol/L HP group, and 300 μmol/L HP group (P<0.01). After 24 hours of culture, compared with that in 0 μmol/L HP group, the Bcl-2/Bax ratio of cells increased significantly in 25 μmol/L HP group and 50 μmol/L HP group (P<0.05 or P<0.01) but decreased significantly in 100 µmol/L HP group (P<0.05). After 24 hours of culture, compared with those in 0 μmol/L HP group, the protein expression of GSK-3β in cells showed no significant change in 25 μmol/L HP group and 50 μmol/L HP group (P>0.05), the protein expressions of p-GSK-3β in cells significantly increased in 25 μmol/L HP group and 50 μmol/L HP group (P<0.01), the protein expressions of GSK-3β and p-GSK-3β in cells in 100 μmol/L HP group showed no significant change (P>0.05), the protein expressions of GSK-3β in cells in 200 μmol/L HP group and 300 μmol/L HP group were significantly increased (P<0.05). but the protein expression of p-GSK-3β in cells in 200 μmol/L HP group and 300 μmol/L HP group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). After 24 hours of culture, the morphology and growth of cells in 0 μmol/L HP group and 50 μmol/L HP group were similar and normal; in contrast, the cells in 300 µmol/L HP group became smaller and round, with the cell protrusions being shorter or disappeared, the nucleus being cavitated, and the cell abscission being increased significantly; the morphology of most cells in HP pretreatment group was normal, with the shedding of cells being less than that in 300 µmol/L HP group, and the morphology of nucleus being normal. After 24 hours of culture, the protein expression of caspase-9 was similar among the four groups (P>0.05). Compared with that in 0 μmol/L HP group, the apoptosis rate and the protein expressions of cleavage caspase-9, caspase-3, and cleavage caspase-3 of cells in 50 μmol/L HP group showed no significant changes (P>0.05), the Bcl-2/Bax ratio of cells in 50 μmol/L HP group increased significantly (P<0.05), the apoptosis rate and the protein expressions of cleavage caspase-9, caspase-3, and cleavage caspase-3 of cells in 300 μmol/L HP group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the Bcl-2/Bax ratio of cells in 300 μmol/L HP group was significantly decreased (P<0.05).

Compared with those in 0 μmol/L HP group, the protein expression of p-GSK-3β of cells was significantly increased in 50 μmol/L HP group (P<0.05) but significantly decreased in 300 μmol/L HP group (P<0.01), while the protein expression of GSK-3β of cells was significantly increased in 300 μmol/L HP group (P<0.05). Compared with those in 300 μmol/L HP group, the protein expression of GSK-3β of cells was significantly decreased in HP pretreatment group (P<0.01), while the protein expression of p-GSK-3β of cells was significantly increased in HP pretreatment group (P<0.01). Conclusions: The molarity of 50 μmol/L may be the optimal molarity of HP to pretreat mouse BMSCs, and 50 μmol/L HP pretreatment can antagonize mitochondrial pathway of oxidative stress induced apoptosis by inhibiting the activity of GSK-3β.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are gradually being considered as an alternative for lithium-ion batteries because of their non-negligible advantages such as abundance and low expenditure of K, as well as higher electrochemical potential than another alternative─sodium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, when the electrode materials are inserted and extracted with large-sized K+ ions, the tremendous volume change will cause the collapse of the microstructures of electrodes and make the charging/discharging process irreversible, thus disapproving their extended application. In response to this, we put forward a feasible strategy to realize the in situ assembly of layered MoSe2 nanosheets onto N, P codoped hollow carbon nanospheres (MoSe2/NP-HCNSs) through thermal annealing and heteroatom doping strategies, and the resulting nanoengineered material can function well as an anode for KIBs. This cleverly designed nanostructure of MoSe2/NP-HCNS can broaden the interlayer spacing of MoSe2 to boost the efficiency of the insertion/extraction of K ions and also can accommodate large volume change-caused mechanical strain, facilitate electrolyte penetration, and prevent the aggregation of MoSe2 nanosheets. This synthetic method generates abundant defects to increase the amounts of active sites, as well as conductivity. The hierarchical nanostructure can effectively increase the proportion of pseudo-capacitance and promote interfacial electronic transfer and K+ diffusion, thus imparting great electrochemical performance. The MoSe2/NP-HCNS anode exhibits a high reversible capacity of 239.9 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 200 cycles and an ultralong cycling life of 161.1 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 for a long period of 1000 cycles. This nanoengineering method opens up new insights into the development of promising anode materials for KIBs.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the detection types and aggregation of high-risk population of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Jiangsu province and the related influencing factors to provide reference for the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease. Methods: A total of 120 211 participants were included in the investigation. Information was collected by questionnaire based survey, physical examination and biochemical tests. χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: The detection rate of CVD high risk was 25.03%. The detection rates were 19.01%, 4.85%, 3.18% and 5.31% for hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular history and WHO assessed risk ≥20% types, respectively. Male, rural, old age, low education level, low family income, drinking, waist circumference exceeding standard, overweight and obesity were risk factors of CVD (all P<0.01). The composition ratios of aggregation of 1, 2 and ≥3 high risk types of CVD were 74.01%, 22.91% and 3.08%, respectively. With the increase of aggregation types, the correlation strength increased with age, rural residents, education level and annual family income. Conclusion: Targeted measures should be carried out according to different influencing factors for the prevention and control of CVD in Jiangsu province in order to achieve the maximum prevention and control effect with the minimum cost.

Abstract
Sulfur (S) dynamics in soils formed from granite remain poorly understood despite its importance as an essential plant macronutrient and component of soil organic matter. We used stable S isotope ratios to trace the sources and biogeochemical processes of S in four forest soil profiles developed on granite under contrasting climate conditions. The soil S is derived mainly from decomposing litter; no significant geogenic contribution to its content is noted as a result of the low S concentration of the granite (~ 5 μg/g). Colder/drier climate results in high organic S retention at the surface due to weak mineralization of organic S. Although warmer/wetter climate increases the S mineralization and leaching loss, SO42- adsorption is an important S retention process in the subsurface. The vertical distribution of S isotope compositions in the soil profiles across the four sites indicates (i) a downward increase in δ34S values in the upper profiles due to continuous mineralization of organic S with an occasional decrease in δ34S values in the subsurface due to dissimilatory sulfate reduction (DSR), (ii) constantly high δ34S values in the middle profiles due to the low water permeability, and (iii) a downward decrease in δ34S values in the low profiles due to increased contribution of bedrock with depth. Regardless of the variation in soil depth and climate, the total S concentration is proportional to the pedogenic Fe/Al minerals, suggesting the important role of secondary Fe/Al minerals in retaining S in soils. This study provides an integration and synthesis of controls of climatic and edaphic variables on S dynamics in forest soil profiles developed on granite.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts prepared by doping metal ions in g-C3N4 are promising alternatives to traditional homogeneous Fenton catalysts, but are restricted by poor mesoporous structure and agglomerate of metal species. Recently, the highly uniformly dispersed metal-N active sites in various photocatalysts have been proved to be the critical reason for their enhanced catalytic activity. In this study based on reasonable control of mesoporous structure and metal-N active sites, mesoporous Fe-g-C3N4 was synthesized using a simple one-step thermal shrinkage polymerization method using ferrous oxalate as iron source and pore-forming agent. The Fe and N elements in the triazine ring skeleton of Fe-g-C3N4 form a σ-π bond, thus the photogenerated electrons can be quickly transferred to Fe3+ to form Fe2+ under the interaction of chemical bonds, accelerating the Fenton reaction rate. Density functional theory calculations results demonstrate that the energy band structure and electron cloud density distribution of Fe-Nx active structure are better than that of routine FeOx crystal structure with metal species agglomeration. In addition, the excellent mesoporous structure of Fe-g-C3N4 creates conditions for the high exposure of Fe-Nx active sites in the photo-Fenton reaction under visible light. The as-developed Fe-g-C3N4 system shows high recyclability and excellent photo-Fenton performance for removal of typical intractable pollutants (The degradation rate of dye and tetracycline reaches 98.2% and 98.7% at 60 and 120 min, respectively). This work provides a facile and sustainable route to develop mesoporous highly-active heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts and even further general the design of general catalyst with ideal metal-N active sites, thereby promoting a feasible and efficient wastewater remediation solution.

Abstract
Background During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the management of nosocomial infections became even more crucial. There is an urgent need to develop a competency model for healthcare practitioners to combat public health emergencies. Aim To determine practitioners' competency in hospital infection prevention and control measures. Methods A theoretical framework was developed based on a literature review, key informant interviews, the Delphi method and a questionnaire survey. These items were evaluated based on response rate, maximum score, minimum score and mean score. Factor analyses, both exploratory and confirmatory, were used to determine the structure of the competency model. Results The effective response rate for the questionnaire was 88.29%, and Cronbach's α-coefficient was 0.964. Factor analysis revealed a Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin score of 0.945. Bartlett's test gave a χ2-value of 10523.439 (df=435; P<0.001). After exploratory factor analysis, the five-factor model was retained, four items were deleted and a five-dimensional, 26-item scale was obtained. The new structure's confirmatory factor analysis revealed high goodness of fit (comparative fit index=0.921; Tucker–Lewis index=0.911; standardized root mean square residual=0.053; root mean square error of approximation=0.044). Conclusion The proposed scale is a useful tool to assess the competency of hospital infection prevention and control practitioners, which can help hospitals to improve infection prevention and control.

Abstract
Anopheles minimus Theobald 1901 and An. harrisoni Harbach & Manguin 2007 belong to the same species complex. They are morphologically similar and can exist in sympatry but have blood host preferences. The most accurate method for their identification is based on molecular techniques. Here, we measure the level of interspecific discrimination by geometric morphometry. Sixty-seven An. minimus and 22 An. harrisoni specimens were selected based on their morphological integrity and confirmed by identification polymerase chain reaction of internal transcribed spacer 2. These samples were used as reference data allowing for a morphometric identification based on geometric shape. Despite size overlap between the two species, there was a significant shape divergence allowing for differentiation of An. minimus and An. harrisoni with 90% accuracy. An intraspecific study of An. minimus showed a summer period associated to the reducing of wing size, which did not influence the shape-based differentiation of An. harrisoni. Wing venation geometry can be used to distinguish between these cryptic species mainly based on shaped divergence. This study suggests that geometric morphometrics represent a convenient low-cost method to complement morphological identification, especially concerning damaged specimens, i.e., insects having accidentally lost the anatomical features allowing a reliable morphological identification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary retroperitoneal tumours (PRTs) are rare soft tissue tumours originating from the retroperitoneum. Although there has been considerable progress recently in diagnosis and treatment, the overall survival rate has not improved qualitatively. This study aimed to explore the clinical features, therapeutic strategies and prognosis of PRTs. METHODS Retrospective analysis of clinical data for 121 PRT patients admitted to Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from April 2003 to February 2017. RESULTS A total of 113 patients underwent surgery and 8 chose nonsurgical palliative treatment. There were 53 males and 68 females (ratio, 1:1.3; average age, 40.75 years), and the average tumour diameter was 9.69(2-40)cm. A total of 104 patients (92.04%) underwent complete resection, 5 (4.42%) underwent palliative resection and 21 (18.58%) underwent combined visceral resection. The pathological diagnosis was benign in 88 cases (72.73%) and malignant in 33 cases (27.27%). A total of 101 patients (83.47%) were followed for an average of 5.82 years. At the end of follow up, the recurrence and survival rates were 2.63% and 93.42% for benign tumours, respectively, and 24.00% and 60.00% for malignant tumours (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Imaging plays important roles in localising and characterising tumours, guiding treatment strategies. Complete tumour resection is key to reducing postoperative recurrence and improving survival. According to the postsurgical pathological results, combinations including radiotherapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy are beneficial for improving prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
To describe lipidomic characteristics of offspring born to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS-off) women and assess the associations of clinical phenotypes changes with differential lipids.
Summary answer
PCOS-off showed specific changes in lipidomics and some differential lipids (e.g., phosphatidylcholines, lysophosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin) may be the potential markers of aberrant cardiometabolic health.
What is known already
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovarian morphology, affects about 8–13% of women of fertile age. Aberrant metabolic pathophysiological changes and increased pregnancy complications associated with PCOS predispose PCOS patients to have suboptimal intrauterine environments and that may produce a detrimental impact on the cardiometabolic health of their children.
Study design, size, duration
A total of 141 blood plasma samples from 70 children born to PCOS women (43 girls, 27 boys) and 71 healthy control children (44 girls, 27 boys) were obtained for lipidomics.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Blood samples were centrifuged at 2000 rpm, 4 °C for 20 min, and the upper plasma was collected and used for lipid extraction. Then the waters ACQUITY UPLC I-Class system and The Xevo G2-S Q-TOF with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source (Waters, Manchester, UK) was used for chromatographic analysis and mass spectrometry analysis separately.
Main results and the role of chance
In total, 44 metabolites were found to be significantly altered in PCOS-off, including 8 up-regulated and 36 down-regulated metabolites. After stratified by sex, 44 metabolites were found to express differently in girls born to PCOS women (PCOS-g). 13 metabolites were up-regulated, and 31 metabolites were down-regulated, most of which belong to glycerolipids species. While 46 metabolites were found to express differently in boys born to PCOS women (PCOS-b) with 9 increased metabolites and 35 decreased ones, most of which were glycerophospholipids metabolites. Additionally, significant associations between metabolites changes and weight Z-score as well as high density lipoprotein level were found in PCOS-off. In PCOS-g, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein level were found to be correlated with some metabolites, whereas in PCOS-b, thyroid stimulating hormone and high density lipoprotein were correlated with some lipids.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Other species of metabolites except lipids are not included in this study. Besides, some potential confounding maternal factors, such as smoking, drinking, breastfeeding etc. were not included due to the lack of data.
Wider implications of the findings: The results had broadened our understanding of PCOS-off’s cardiometabolic status and emphasized monitor and special management in this susceptible group of population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inflammation and fibrosis progress of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells participate in the pathologic changes of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). ANGPTL2 is well known for its angiogenesis and proinflammatory properties and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is also responsible for tissue fibrosis. However, the role of ANGPTL2 in IDD and whether it is related to TGF-β1 remains unclear. This study aims to explore the relation of TGF-β1 and ANGPTL2 in the degenerative process of NP cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS We isolated NP cells of NP tissues provided from the spine fracture patients. IL-1β was used to induce the NP cells degeneration. To determine the effect of TGF-β1 and ANGPTL2 on NP cell degeneration, we regulated the cellular TGF-β1 and ANGPTL2 expression by Recombinant human protein stimulation and siRNA transfection. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or Western blot was employed to investigate the expression of TGF-β1, ANGPTL2, IL-6, TNF-α, collagen I, and collagen III. RESULTS TGF-β1 overexpression aggravated the ANGPTL2, IL-6, TNF-α, collagen I, and collagen III expressions of NP cells that caused by IL-1β, which was rejected by ANGPTL2 gene silencing. Besides, the silencing of TGF-β1 weakened the ANGPTL2 expression. ANGPTL2 overexpression promoted the NP cells inflammation and fibrosis via increasing IL-6, TNF-α, collagen I, and collagen III expression, which was sharpened by a consequent increase of TGF-β1 expression. CONCLUSIONS This study, for the first time, points that TGF-β1 aggravates degenerative NP cells inflammation and fibrosis via the mediation of ANGPTL2.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of interleukin-6 (IL-6) on the phenotype and function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and explore the role of IL-6 in the process of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Methods: The experimental research method was used. Fresh umbilical cord discarded after normal maternal delivery was collected. On the second day of the primary cell isolation and cultivation, the cell morphology was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope. HUVECs of the 4th passage were identified by immunofluorescence method, and 2 batches of HUVECs ofthe 3rd to 5th passages were used for the subsequent experiments. The first batch of cells were divided into 6 groups according to the random number table (the same below): blank control group, 5 ng/mL IL-6 group, 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, 50 ng/mL IL-6 group, and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group. The second batch of cells were divided into 4 groups: blank control group, 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, 25 ng/mL IL-6 group,and 50 ng/mL IL-6 group; the cells in blank control group was cultured with complete culture medium only, while the cells in the other groups were added with IL-6 of the corresponding final mass concentrations.Cells from the 1st batch were cultured for 72 hours after grouping, the morphology of HUVECS in the 6 groups was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope. At 72 h after grouping culture, the positive expressions of coagulation factor Ⅷ and α vascular smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in HUVECs in the 6 groups were detected by immunofluorescence method, and the ratio of the number of double positive cells to the number of coagulation factor Ⅷ positive cells (the ratio of double positive cells for short) was calculated, with 6 samples per group; mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin and α-SMA of HUVECs in 6 groups were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, with 3 samples per group.Cells from the 2nd batch were cultured 72 hours after grouping, the protein expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin, α-SMA, and type Ⅰ collagen in the 4 groups were detected by Western blotting, with 3 samples per group. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni correction. Results: On the 2nd day after isolation and cultivation, the primary cells were in short spindle shape or polygon, cells of the 4th passage were identified as HUVECs by immunofluorescence method. At 72 hours of culture after grouping, the cells from the 1st batch in the 6 groups changed to long spindle shape morphologically along with the increase of IL-6 concentration, the intercellular connections decreased or disappeared with the gap between cells becoming larger. At 72 h after grouping culture, compared with that inblank control group, the ratio of double positive cells in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, 50 ng/mL IL-6 group, and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly increased (P<0.01); compared with that in 5 ng/mL IL-6 group, the ratio of double positive cells in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, 50 ng/mL IL-6 group, and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly increased (P<0.01); compared with that in 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, the ratio of double positive cells in 50 ng/mL IL-6 group and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly increased (P<0.01); the ratio of double positive cells in 100 ng/mL IL-6 group was significantly increased compared with those in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group and 50 ng/mL IL-6 group (P<0.01). At 72 h after grouping culture, compared with that in blank control group, the mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin of cells in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, 50 ng/mL IL-6 group, and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05); compared with that in 5 ng/mL IL-6 group, the mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin of cells in 50 ng/mL IL-6 group and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly decreased (P<0.01); compared with that in 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, the mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin of cells in 50 ng/mL IL-6 group and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly decreased (P<0.01); compared with that in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, the mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin of cells in 50 ng/mL IL-6 group and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). At 72 h after grouping culture, compared with that in blank control group, the mRNA expression levels of α-SMA of cells in 5 ng/mL IL-6 group, 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, 50 ng/mL IL-6, group, and 100 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Cells from the 2nd batch were cultured for 72 hours after grouping. Compared with 1.391±0.026 in blank control group, the protein expressions of vascular endothelial cadherin of cells in 10 ng/mL IL-6 group (1.185±0.063), in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group (0.717±0.078), and in 50 ng/mL IL-6 group (0.239±0.064) were significantly decreased (P<0.05); compared with that in 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, the protein expressions of vascular endothelial cadherin of cells in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group and 50 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly decreased (P<0.01); compared with that in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, the protein expression of vascular endothelial cadherin of cells in 50 ng/mL IL-6 group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). At 72 h after grouping culture, compared with that in blank control group, the protein expression levels of α-SMA of cells in 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, 25 ng/mL IL-6 group, and 50 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly increased (P<0.01); compared with that in 10 ng/mL IL-6 group, the protein expression levels of α-SMA of cells in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group and 50 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly increased (P<0.01). At 72 h after grouping culture, compared with that in blank control group, the protein expressions of type Ⅰ collagen of cells in 25 ng/mL IL-6 group and 50 ng/mL IL-6 group were significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions: After IL-6 treatment, the phenotype and function of HUVECS showed the characteristics of mesenchymal cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The inflammatory factor can promote the process of EndMT, and become one of the important factors regulating the mechanism of tissue fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: The preseason prophylactic treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (AR) caused by pollens could alleviate AR symptoms during the pollen season. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prophylaxis usage of suplatast tosilate on the life quality of AR patients in the pollen season, and investigate the potential mechanism of action through transcriptomic analysis. Methods: This is a randomized controlled study. AR patients allergic to weed pollens were recruited from Allergy Clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2020 to June 2020, and divided into prophylactic group who started to take suplatast tosilate as prophylaxis 2 weeks before the spread of weed pollens[n=10, 4 men and 6 women with age range of (34±6) years old] and control group who did not use any prophylactic treatment[n=24, 12 men and 12 women with age range of (33±9) years old]. The differences of age (t=0.381, P=0.706) and gender (χ²=0.595, P=0.715) distribution between the patients of two groups were not statistically significant. All the subjects filled in the rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) while onset of AR symptoms, and peripheral blood was drawn for transcriptomic analysis 1 month before and during the pollen season. Differences between groups were statistically analyzed through chi-square test and t test. Results: There was no significant difference in visual analogue scale of rhinitis symptom in the last pollen season between prophylactic group and control group[ 8.0 (6.4, 9.3) vs 7.3 (6.1, 8.0), Z=1.180, P=0.254]. The RQLQ score of prophylactic group was superior to that of control group in the weed pollen season (2.9±0.9 vs 3.7±0.9, t=-2.438, P=0.026). 210 differentially expressed genes of fold change ≥2 were identified, with 147 genes upregulated and 63 genes downregulated in the prophylactic group compared to the control group. Gene Ontology annotation showed that IL-12 and IL-23 related pathways were downregulated in prophylactic group (P=0.006 48). Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) verification of differentially expressed genes indicated that the relative expression level of HLA-G in prophylactic group was significantly lower than that in control group (0.23±0.19 vs 1.00±0.49,t=4.016, P=0.006). Conclusion: The prophylactic treatment of suplatast tosilate showed some benefit to the life quality of seasonal AR patients during the pollen season, and the potential mechanism might be related with the downregulation of IL-12 and IL-23 pathways and decreased expression of HLA-G.
