Abstract
Inspired by dative boron-nitrogen (B←N) bonds proven to be the promising dynamic linkage for the construction of crystalline covalent organic polymers/frameworks (COPs/COFs), we employed 1,4-bis(benzodioxaborole) benzene (BACT) and N,N'-Di(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxdiimide (DPNTCDI) as the corresponding building blocks to construct a functional COP (named as CityU-25), which had been employed as an anode in rechargeable lithium ion batteries. CityU-25 displayed an excellent reversible lithium storage capability of 455 mAh/g after 170 cycles at 0.1 A/g, and an impressive one of 673 mAh/g after 720 cycles at 0.5 A/g. These findings suggest that CityU-25 is a standout candidate for advanced battery technologies, highlighting the potential application of this type of materials.

Abstract
Developing the films of N-containing unsubstituted poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) films for diverse applications is significant and highly desirable because the replacement of sp2 C atoms with sp2 N atoms will bring novel properties to the as-prepared polymers. In this research, an electrochemical-dehalogenation polymerization strategy is employed to construct two N-containing PPP films under constant potentials, where 2,5-diiodopyridine (DIPy) and 2,5-dibromopyrazine (DBPz) are used as starting agents. The corresponding polymers are named CityU-23 (for polypyridine) and CityU-24 (for polypyrazine). Moreover, it is found that both polymers can form films in situ on different conductive substrates (i.e., silicon, gold, ITO, and nickel), satisfying potential device fabrication. Furthermore, the as-obtained thin films of CityU-23 and CityU-24 exhibit good performance of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction with the overpotential of 212.8 and 180.7 mV and the Tafel slope of 157.0 and 122.4 mV dec-1, respectively.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis, crystal structure, and optical properties of a metal-free three-dimensional (3D) inorganic covalent framework ((H2en)[Si(B4O9)], named CityU-11, where H2en is the abbreviation for ethanediamine). With the assistance of a tiny amount of F- ions and the selection of SiO2 as Si sources, single crystals of CityU-11 can be successfully prepared under solvothermal conditions. The precise structure information on CityU-11 has been disclosed through both single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and low-dose high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (LD-HRTEM). The SCXRD results showed that CityU-11 crystallized in the noncentrosymmetric space group of Pnn2, while LD-HRTEM suggested that CityU-11 possessed almost the same interplanar distances of 0.6 nm for both (200) and (020) crystal planes, which finely matched with the double peaks of 2θ = 15° in the pattern of its powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). CityU-11 also displayed an interesting optical property with a moderate birefringence of 0.0258@550 nm.

Abstract
Helical morphologies are widely observed in nature, however, it is very challenging to prepare artificial helical polymers. Especially, precisely understanding the structure information of artificial metal-free helical covalent inorganic polymers via single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis is rarely explored. Here, we successfully prepare a novel metal-free helical covalent inorganic polymer ({[Te(C6 H5 )2 ] [PO3 (OH)]}n , named CityU-10) by introducing angular anions (HOPO3 2- ) into traditional tellurium-oxygen chains. The dynamic reversibility of the reaction is realized through the introduction of organic tellurium precursor and the slow hydrolysis of polyphosphoric acid. High-quality and large-size single crystals of CityU-10 have been successfully characterized via SCXRD, where the same-handed helical inorganic polymer chains form a pseudo-two-dimensional layer via multiple hydrogen-bonding interactions. The left-handed layers and right-handed layers alternatively stack together through weak hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The single crystals of CityU-10 are found to display promising optical properties with a large birefringence. Our results would offer new guidelines for designing and preparing new crystalline covalent polymers through tellurium-based chemistry.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Newly qualified radiographers often find working in the operating theatre (OT) challenging and intimidating. These perceptions, which inhibit confidence, may hinder their effectiveness in interprofessional teamwork, which may in turn adversely affect patient outcomes. A collaborative education programme was designed, building upon the foundations of competency-based education (CBE) and simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) to examine its potential in mitigating these perceptions. The objective of this research was to assess participants' experience and level of competency after attending the curated collaborative educational programme. METHODS The programme was developed based on the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model and comprises two teaching and learning phases: educational session and simulation. A collaborative approach was undertaken to develop an assessment checklist for the interprofessional simulation. Requirements for the simulation, such as scenario design, information and storyboard, task trainer, logistics, and learners' briefing, debrief, and feedback, were identified and assembled. The radiographers' performance was recorded using a practical skills assessment checklist and a theory assessment. RESULTS Twelve radiographers participated and showed improvement in their self-rating of learning objectives before and after the programme. The median (interquartile range) score achieved in the theory assessment, out of a possible of 11, was 9.00 (7.75-9.50). The median (interquartile range) score achieved in the simulation component, out of a possible of 16, was 15.00 (14.00-15.00). There was statistically significant difference in self-perceived performance in all learning objective domains. CONCLUSION The findings from the programme were promising. The use of simulation and an assessment checklist proved to be useful learning tools in preparing newly qualified radiographers for work in the OT. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Assessment checklists are valuable tools that should be considered to facilitate teaching and learning. The use of interprofessional simulation activities can support radiographers in developing knowledge, professional skills, and clinical competency. It should be conducted in a timely manner to facilitate the introduction to role understanding and effective communication.

Abstract
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is a yet unobserved nuclear process that would demonstrate Lepton number violation, a clear evidence of beyond standard model physics. The process two neutrino double beta decay (2νββ) is allowed by the standard model and has been measured in numerous experiments. In this Letter, we report a measurement of 2νββ decay half-life of ^{100}Mo to the ground state of ^{100}Ru of [7.07±0.02(stat)±0.11(syst)]×10^{18} yr by the CUPID-Mo experiment. With a relative precision of ±1.6% this is the most precise measurement to date of a 2νββ decay rate in ^{100}Mo. In addition, we constrain higher-order corrections to the spectral shape, which provides complementary nuclear structure information. We report a novel measurement of the shape factor ξ_{3,1}=0.45±0.03(stat)±0.05(syst) based on a constraint on the ratio of higher-order terms from theory, which can be reliably calculated. This is compared to theoretical predictions for different nuclear models. We also extract the first value for the effective axial vector coupling constant obtained from a spectral shape study of 2νββ decay.

Abstract
Amylomaltases (AMs) play important roles in glycogen and maltose metabolism. However, the molecular mechanism is elusive. Here, we investigated the conformational dynamics of the 250s loop and catalytic mechanism of Thermus aquaticus TaAM using path-metadynamics and QM/MM MD simulations. The results demonstrate that the transition of the 250s loop from an open to closed conformation promotes polysaccharide sliding, leading to the ideal positioning of the acid/base. Furthermore, the conformational dynamics can also modulate the selectivity of hydrolysis and transglycosylation. The closed conformation of the 250s loop enables the tight packing of the active site for transglycosylation, reducing the energy penalty and efficiently preventing the penetration of water into the active site. Conversely, the partially closed conformation for hydrolysis results in a loosely packed active site, destabilizing the transition state. These computational findings guide mutation experiments and enable the identification of mutants with an improved disproportionation/hydrolysis ratio. The present mechanism is in line with experimental data, highlighting the critical role of conformational dynamics in regulating the catalytic reactivity of GHs.

Abstract
The appropriate level of dietary lipids is essential for the nutrient requirements, rapid growth, and health maintenance of aquatic animals, while excessive dietary lipid intake will lead to lipid deposition and affect fish health. However, the symptoms of excessive lipid deposition in the liver of freshwater drums (Aplodinotus grunniens) remain unclear. In this study, a 4-month rearing experiment feeding with high-fat diets and a 6-week starvation stress experiment were conducted to evaluate the physiological alteration and underlying mechanism associated with lipid deposition in the liver of A. grunniens. From the results, high-fat-diet-induced lipid deposition was associated with increased condition factor (CF), viscerosomatic index (VSI), and hepatosomatic index (HSI). Meanwhile, lipid deposition led to physiological and metabolic disorders, inhibited antioxidant capacity, and exacerbated the burden of lipid metabolism. Lipid deposition promoted fatty acid synthesis but suppressed catabolism. Specifically, the transcriptome and metabolome showed significant enrichment of lipid metabolism and antioxidant pathways. In addition, the interaction analysis suggested that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-mediated 13-S-hydroxyoctadecenoic acid (13 (s)-HODE) could serve as the key target in regulating lipid metabolism and oxidative stress during lipid deposition in A. grunniens. Inversely, with a lipid intake restriction experiment, PPARs were confirmed to regulate lipid expenditure and physiological homeostasis in A. grunniens. These results uncover the molecular basis of and provide specific molecular targets for fatty liver control and prevention, which are of great importance for the sustainable development of A. grunniens.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is critical to the growth, development, and physiological health of animals. Reference genes play an essential role in normalizing the expression of mRNAs. Tissue-specific genes are preferred for their function and expression in specific tissues or cell types. Identification of these genes contributes to understanding the tissue-gene relationship and the etiology and discovery of new tissue-specific targets. Therefore, reference genes and tissue-specific genes in the adipose tissue of Aplodinotus grunniens were identified to explore their function under exogenous starvation (1 d, 2 w, 6 w) and hypothermic stress (18 °C and 10 °C for 2 d and 8 d) in this study. Results suggest that 60SRP was the most stable reference gene in adipose tissue. Meanwhile, eight genes were validated as tissue-specific candidates from the high-throughput sequencing database, while seven of them (ADM2, β2GP1, CAMK1G, CIDE3, FAM213A, HSL, KRT222, and NCEH1) were confirmed in adipose tissue. Additionally, these seven tissue-specific genes were active in response to starvation and hypothermic stress in a time- or temperature-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that adipose-specific genes can be identified using stable internal reference genes, thereby identifying specific important functions under starvation and hypothermic stress, which provides tissue-specific targets for adipose regulation in A. grunniens.

Abstract
Background Several environmental factors are associated with Crohn’s disease (CD) in large case-control studies; however, it is not clear how these factors maybe be influenced by age of exposure and if they are related to alterations in pre-disease biological markers of CD risk. Purpose To investigate the association between environmental factors in different age groups with future risk of CD onset and assess their relation to other pre-disease biomarkers. Method We used an environmental risk assessment questionnaire (ERA) to collect information from healthy first-degree relatives(FDR) of CD enrolled in the CCC-GEM project. ERA was a multi-item questionnaire querying 69 questions under 7 section headings: background, cultural/ethnic, smoking history, medical history, family history, environmental history and pet history. For the environmental and pet sections, current and historical (<1, 2-4, 5-15 years old) data was captured at the time of recruitment. We used Cox proportional hazard models to identify exposures associated with future CD onset. Next, we used regression models to identify the relationship of exposures with biological factors associated with CD risk previously identified by our group i.e.: i) intestinal permeability using urinary fractional excretion of lactulose to mannitol ratio (LMR) with LMR≥0.025 defined as abnormal; ii) subclinical inflammation using fecal calprotectin (FCP) with FCP≥100µg/g; and iii) fecal microbiome composition and diversity using 16S rDNA sequencing. Two-sided p<0.05 (or false discovery rate corrected p<0.05) were considered significant. Result(s) A total of 4289 FDRs were recruited, 47% were male, median recruitment age was 17.0 years[6-35]. After a median follow-up of 5.6-years (IQR=3.42-8.67), 86 FDRs developed CD. Living with a dog between age 5-15 (Hazard Ratio (HR)=0.61; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.39-0.95), and a large family size (>3) in the first year of life (HR=0.41; 95% CI=0.22-0.89) were protective against CD onset. Conversely, having a bird at time of survey (HR=2.84; CI=1.37-5.90), and having a sibling with CD (HR=2.07; 95% CI=1.18-3.63) were risk factors for CD onset. We found that owning a dog between age of 5-15 (Odd Ratio(OR)=0.77, 95% CI=0.65-0.90) was significantly associated with LMR, nine taxa bacterial and higher chao1 diversity index. Having a bird at time of survey was significantly associated with FCP (OR=2.04, 95% CI=1.33-3.11). There was no association between large family size and having a CD sibling with gut microbiome, FCP or LMR. Conclusion(s) The study identified four environmental factors associated with future development of CD. Among them, exposure to dogs during early life was protective against CD onset and might be explained by its association with normal gut permeability and microbiome. We also identified that having a bird at recruitment increased risk of CD onset which might be mediated by an increase in subclinical inflammation.

Abstract
Background Healthy individuals within families with multiple affected members (multiplex families) with Crohn’s disease (CD) have a notably high risk of developing CD. No large prospective pre-disease cohort has assessed differences in preclinical intestinal inflammation, permeability, fecal microbiome, and genetics in healthy at-risk subjects from multiplex families. Purpose We aimed to assess differences in subclinical gut inflammation, genetic risk, gut barrier function, and fecal microbiota composition between first-degree relatives (FDRs) from families with 2 or more affected members (multiplex) and families with only one affected member (simplex). Also, we aimed to assess the risk of future CD onset in subjects from multiplex versus simplex families. Method We utilized the GEM Project cohort of healthy FDRs of CD patients. Subclinical gut inflammation was assessed using fecal calprotectin (FCP) at recruitment. Gut barrier function was assessed using the lactulose-to-mannitol ratio (LMR). For assessment of the CD-related genetic risk, CD-polygenic risk scores (CD-PRS) were calculated. Microbiome composition was assessed by sequencing fecal 16S ribosomal RNA. Generalized estimating equations logistic regression and LEfSe (PMID: 21702898) were used to assess the associations between multiplex status and different outcomes. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess time-related risk of future onset of CD. Result(s) 4385 subjects were included. Median age was 17 [IQR 12-24] years, 52.9% were female, 69.4% were siblings and 30.6% were offspring. 4052 (92.4%) and 333 (7.6 %) were simplex and multiplex subjects, respectively. After adjusting for age, sex, family size, and relation to proband, multiplex status was significantly associated with higher baseline FCP (p=0.038), but was not associated with either baseline LMR or CD-PRS (p=0.19 and p=0.33, respectively). We found no significant differences in alpha diversity (Shannon index) (p=0.57) between simplex and multiplex subjects. Beta diversity analysis assessed by the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index did not reveal significant differences (R2=3e-04, p=0.607). The genera Eisenbergiella, Eggerthellaceae uncultured, and Morganella, were significantly more abundant in multiplex subjects, whereas Lachnospira, Sutterella, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, and Lachnospiraceae_UCG_004 less abundant. The risk of CD onset was significantly higher in multiplex subjects. In multivariable analysis, multiplex status at recruitment was associated with increased risk of CD onset (adjusted HR 3.41, 95% CI 1.70-6.87, p=0.00055), after adjusting for demographics, FCP, LMR, and CD-PRS. Conclusion(s) Multiplex status compared to simplex is associated with a 3.4-fold increased risk of CD onset, a higher FCP, and fecal bacterial composition. A comprehensive assessment of environmental factors that increase CD risk in multiplex families remains to be elucidated in future studies. Disclosure of Interest None Declared

Abstract
Background The incidence of Crohn’s disease (CD) is increasing globally, indicating a significant environmental influence such as diet. A plethora of dietary adherence (DA) patterns exist in the literature: the Mediterranean Diet (MD), Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern (EDIP), Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), and low Fermentable Oligosaccharide, Disaccharide, Monosaccharide, or Polyol diet (FODMAP) are all potential candidates to maintain a reduced level of inflammation, improving gastrointestinal function. Contrary, the Westernized diet (WD) is generally reported as a diet promoting inflammation in humans. Purpose To determine if DA to literature-derived dietary indices in a cohort of first-degree relatives (FDRs) of CD patients can modulate pre-disease biomarkers. Method We used food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data from 2,696 healthy FDR subjects of the Crohn’s Colitis Canada- Genes, Environment, Microbial (CCC-GEM) project. We rederived each of the following scores using our FFQ data, utilizing originally described methods for the MD, EDIP, SCD, low FODMAP, and WD to obtain DA. Each diet was correlated pairwise via Kendall’s Tau. We fit multivariable regression models to identify the association of DA (top quintile vs remaining) and: i) intestinal permeability using urinary fractional excretion of lactulose to mannitol ratio (LMR), LMR≥0.03 defined abnormal; ii) subclinical inflammation using fecal calprotectin (FCP) measured with BÜHLMANN fCAL® ELISA, FCP≥250µg/g defined inflammation; and iii) fecal microbiome richness and composition using 16S rRNA sequencing. Two-sided p<0.05 for primary and q<0.05 for secondary analysis defined significance. Result(s) There were positive correlations between the MD, SCD, and low FODMAP, these diets negatively correlated with the WD. The EDIP negatively correlated with the SCD and low FODMAP, did not correlate with the MD, and positively correlated with the WD. No diet was associated with abnormal LMR or FCP. Only the SCD was associated with increased microbial richness (q=0.03). All diets were associated with microbial genera: the MD (n=18 taxa, (2.0-7<q-values< 0.04), EDIP (n=9, [2.8-4-0.05]), SCD (n=13, [3.7-11-0.05]), low FODMAP (n=14, [1.3-7-0.05]), and WD (n=1, [0.03]). Conclusion(s) This study shows that literature-derived dietary indices correlate generally with each other, yet none were not associated with abnormal LMR or FCP. However, we found that diet can impact microbiome richness and composition. Thus, it is tempting to speculate that diet is a possible intervention capable of maintain microbiome homeostasis to reduce future risk of CD. Submitted on behalf of the CCC-GEM consortium.

Abstract
Background Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. The etiology of CD may arise from complex interactions including host genetics, diet, and the intestinal microbiome. Increased consumption of saturated fats, characteristic of the Western diet, is a known risk factor for CD. Dietary fat (DF) is absorbed by the host through the release of primary bile acids (PBAs) and bio-transformed by the microbiome into secondary bile acids (SBAs). Altogether, bile acids (BAs) can act as signaling molecules involved in host immune regulation and potentially in CD onset. Purpose To investigate the relationship between CD risk, BAs, and DF, and evaluate the predictive performance of CD onset of these factors by developing machine learning models. Method We used samples healthy first-degree relatives (FDRs) recruited as part of the Crohn’s Colitis Canada- Genes, Environment, Microbial (GEM) project. Those who developed CD (n=87) were matched 1:4 by age, sex, follow-up time, and geographic location with control FDRs remaining healthy (n=347). Serum, urine, and stool BA were measured using ultrahigh Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectroscopy. DF types were derived from food frequency questionnaire data. We used conditional logistic regressions to identify associations between CD onset, BAs (n=93), and DFs (n=9). We further explored the relationships of significant CD-related BAs and DF via Generalized Estimation Equations. Finally, we used a tree-based machine-learning algorithm (XGBoost) with 5-fold cross-validation to assess the prediction performance of CD onset using BA from all sources as well as DF. Two-sided p<0.05 was considered significant. Result(s) In total, 10 of 93 BAs, and two of nine DFs were significantly associated with increased odds of CD onset (p<0.05). Additionally, five BAs were significantly associated with DF (p<0.05). Serum-derived BAs had the best predictive performance for CD, with a mean AUC of 0.70 [95% CI: 0.63;0.76], followed by stool derived BAs with a mean AUC= 0.65 [0.55;0.75], and followed by urine derived Bas with a mean AUC= 0.57 [0.48;0.66]. Lastly DF was not a predictive marker of CD onset with a mean AUC= 0.50 [0.41;0.60]. Conclusion(s) This study suggests that BAs are associated with the pathogenesis of CD and the effects may be influenced by DF. Serum-derived BAs may be able to better predict the risk of CD than other stool or urine derived BA, while DF is not directly implicated in CD risk. Submitted on behalf of the CCC-GEM consortium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of Bushen Huoxue Fang (BSHXF, a traditional Chinese medicine formula) for improving recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) in mice and the role of tyrosine kinase (JAK2) and transcriptional activator (STAT3) signaling pathway in its therapeutic mechanism. METHODS Female CBA/J mice were caged with male DBA/2 mice to establish RSA mouse models, which were randomly divided into model group, dydrogesterone group and BSHXF group, with the female mice caged with male BALB/c mice as the control group (n=6). From the first day of pregnancy, the mice were subjected to daily intragastric administration of BSHXF, dydrogesterone, or distilled water (in control and model groups) for 12 days. After the treatments, serum levels of antithrombin III (AT-III), activated protein C (APC), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), progesterone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and estradiol (E2) were detected in each group using ELISA. HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of the endometrium of the mice. Western blotting was performed to determine the expressions of p-JAK2, p-Stat3 and Bcl-2 in the placenta of the mice. RESULTS Compared with the control mice, the mouse models of RSA showed a significantly increased embryo loss rate with decreased serum levels of AT-III, T-PA, progesterone, APC and HCG, increased placental expressions of p-JAK2, p-STAT3 and Bax, and decreased expression of Bcl-2 (P < 0.05). Treatments with BSHXF and dydrogesterone both increased serum levels of AT-III, t-PA and HCG in the mouse models; Serum APC level was significantly reduced in BSHXF group and serum progesterone level was significantly increased in dydrogesterone group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION BSHXF can improve the prethrombotic state and inhibit cell apoptosis by downregulating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway to increase the pregnancy rate in mouse models of RSA.

Abstract
Aplodinotus grunniens, known as freshwater drum, is a kind of eurythermal freshwater fish that is widely distributed in North America. In 2019, our research group reached a milestone on its artificial breeding and cultivation and have investigated its physiological adaption to the environment, providing a breakthrough and prospects for aquaculture. However, its adaptability and metabolic homeostasis to hypothermia is not fully understood. In this experiment, cold stress was conducted at 18 °C (LT18) and 10 °C (LT10) with 25 °C as control (Con) for 8 days to explore the effects of short-term hypothermia on the physiology and metabolism of freshwater drum. From the results, the level of free essential amino acids in LT18 and LT10 decreased significantly after 2 days cold stress compared with Con. Furthermore, plasma total triglyceride (TG) content and lipase (LPS) activity were decreased at LT10 for 2d. With RNA-seq in the liver, metabolic-related signaling, especially amino acid synthesis and lipid metabolism, was inhibited by hypothermia. Specifically, the PPAR signaling pathway is correlated with the inhibition of lipid and amino acid metabolism induced by hypothermia. These data confirmed that PPAR signaling maintains lipid and amino acid metabolic homeostasis during cold stress. These results give a theoretical foundation for hypothermia resistance in the area of metabolic homeostasis for freshwater drum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationship between sarcopenia and cognitive function has been extensively studied, but is usually explored at a single time point. We used repeatedly measured cognitive data to examine the relationship between sarcopenia and cognitive trajectories over time among middle-aged and older Chinese adults. DESIGN A nationally representative cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data were from three waves (2011, 2013 and 2015) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). A total of 8963 participants with complete baseline data (wave 1) and at least two cognitive function tests (waves 1-3) were enrolled in this study. MEASUREMENTS Sarcopenia was diagnosed at baseline (wave 1). The wave 1-3 data were used to analyze cognitive trajectories over time by constructing a latent class trajectory model (LCTM). Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between sarcopenia and cognitive trajectories. RESULTS Among 8693 participants, we identified two trajectories of cognitive function development, including a persistent low trajectory (n= 4856, 55.86%) and a persistent high trajectory (n= 3837, 44.14%). Sarcopenia was associated with persistently low cognitive trajectory of global cognitive (OR: 1.248, 95%CI: 1.046-1.490) after adjustment for other covariates. This association was still observed when stratified by age, gender, educational level, marital status, social activity, smoking status and drinking status. Mediation analysis showed that body mass index (BMI) mediated efficacy accounting for 42.32% of the relationship. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed two trajectory groups of global cognitive function. Sarcopenia was associated with a persistent low trajectory over time and BMI mediated the relationship between sarcopenia and cognitive trajectories among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the endoscopic treatment efficacy of colorectal laterally spreading tumor (LST) and analyze the risk factors for delayed post-polypectomy bleeding (DPPB). Methods: Between January 2015 and December 2020, patients underwent colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or hybrid ESD were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University. Complete resection rate, perforation rate, bleeding rate, operation time and lesion adhesion were compared between the ESD and hybrid ESD groups. Patients were divided into bleeding and non-bleeding groups based on the presence of DPPB. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of DPPB. Results: A total of 665 patients with colorectal LST were enrolled, including 376 males and 289 females, with an average age of (57.4±0.4) years. There were 471 cases underwent ESD and 194 cases underwent hybridized ESD. There were no significant differences in gender, age, history of smoking and drinking, and prevalence of hypertension between the two groups (all P>0.05). Likewise, the rate of lesion adhesion (4.2% vs 7.7%, P=0.067), lesion complete resection (96.8% vs 93.8%, P=0.418), perforation (0.6% vs 1.0%, P=0.594), delayed bleeding (2.8% vs 2.1%, P=0.605) were not statistically significant between the two groups. Seventeen patients (2.6%) developed DPPB after endoscopic treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the lesion was in the rectum (OR=3.594, 95%CI: 1.237-10.443, P=0.019) and the diameter of the lesion>2 cm (OR=3.776, 95%CI: 1.411-10.106, P=0.008) were risk factors for DPPB. Conclusions: Both ESD and hybrid ESD are successful treatments for colorectal LST. Colorectal LST lesion site and lesion size>2 cm are risk factors of DPPB.

Abstract
Background Neural stem cells (NSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) possess great potential in treating severe neurological and cerebrovascular diseases, as they carry the modulatory and regenerative ingredients of NSCs. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived NSCs culture represents a sustainable source of therapeutic EVs. However, there exist two major challenges in obtaining a scalable culture of NSCs for high-efficiency EVs production: (1) the heterogeneity of iPSC-derived NSCs culture impairs the production of high-quality EVs and (2) the intrinsic propensity of neuronal or astroglial differentiation of NSCs during prolonged culturing reduces the number of NSCs for preparing EVs. A NSCs strain that is amenable to stable self-renewal and proliferation is thus greatly needed for scalable and long-term culture. Methods Various constructs of the genes encoding the orphan nuclear receptor NR2E1 (TLX) were stably transfected in iPSCs, which were subsequently cultured in a variety of differentiation media for generation of iNSCsTLX. Transcriptomic and biomarker profile of iNSCsTLX were investigated. In particular, the positivity ratios of Sox2/Nestin and Musashi/Vimentin were used to gauge the homogeneity of the iNSCsTLX culture. The iNSCs expressing a truncated version of TLX (TLX-TP) was expanded for up to 45 passages, after which its neuronal differentiation potential and EV activity were evaluated. Results Stable expression of TLX-TP could confer the iPSCs with rapid and self-driven differentiation into NSCs through stable passaging up to 225 days. The long-term culture of NSCs maintained the highly homogenous expression of NSC-specific biomarkers and potential of neuronal differentiation. EVs harvested from the TLX-expressing NSCs cultures exhibited anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. Conclusions iPSC-derived NSCs stably expressing TLX-TP is a promising cell line for scalable production of EVs, which should be further exploited for therapeutic development in neurological treatment.

Abstract
Our previous study demonstrated that low temperature could induce hepatic inflammation and suppress the immune and oxidation resistance of freshwater drum. However, the metabolism, especially the glucose and lipid metabolism involved, is poorly studied. To further explore the chronic hypothermia response of freshwater drum, an 8-day hypothermia experiment was conducted at 10 °C to investigate the effect of chronic hypothermia on glucose and lipid metabolism via biochemical and physiological indexes, and metabolic enzyme activities, miRNAs and mRNA-miRNA integrate analysis in the liver. Plasma and hepatic biochemical parameters reveal chronic hypothermia-promoted energy expenditure. Metabolic enzyme levels uncover that glycolysis was enhanced but lipid metabolism was suppressed. Differentially expressed miRNAs induced by hypothermia were mainly involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, programmed cell death, disease, and cancerization. Specifically, KEGG enrichment indicates that AMPK signaling was dysregulated. mRNA-miRNA integrated analysis manifests miR-1 and AMPK, which were actively co-related in the regulatory network. Furthermore, transcriptional expression of key genes demonstrates hypothermia-activated AMPK signaling by miR-1 and subsequently inhibited the downstream glucogenic and glycogenic gene expression and gene expression of fatty acid synthesis. However, glycogenesis was alleviated to the control level while fatty acid synthesis was still suppressed at 8 d. Meanwhile, the gene expressions of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation were augmented under hypothermia. In conclusion, these results suggest that miR-1/AMPK is an important target for chronic hypothermia control. It provides a theoretical basis for hypothermia resistance on freshwater drum.

Abstract
With strong demand for aquatic products, as well as a rapid decrease in global fishery resources and capture fisheries, domesticating animals to provide more high-quality proteins is meaningful for humans. Freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens) is widely distributed in the wild habitats of North America. However, the research on A. grunniens and the feed domestication with diets composed of artificial compounds remains unclear. In this study, a 4-month feeding domestication experiment was conducted with A. grunniens larvae to evaluate the underlying mechanism and molecular targets responsible for alternations in the ingestion performance. The results indicated that a significant increase in the final body weight was exhibited by the feed domesticated group (DOM, 114.8 g) when compared to the group that did not ingest the feed (WT, 5.3 g) as the latest version we raised From the result, the final body weight exhibited significant increase between unfavorable with the feed (WT, 5.3 g) and feed domesticated group (DOM, 114.8 g). In addition, the enzyme activity of digestive enzymes like amylase, lipase, and trypsin was increased in DOM. Genes related to appetite and perception, such as NPY4R, PYY, and LEPR, were activated in DOM. 16s rRNA gene sequencing analysis revealed that Pseudomonas sp. increased from 58.74% to 89.77% in DOM, which accounts for the dominant upregulated microbial community at the genus level, followed by Plesiomonas. Analogously, Mycobacterium, Methylocystis, and Romboutsia also accounted for the down-regulated microbes in the diversity. Transcriptome and RT-PCR analysis revealed that feed domestication significantly improved protein digestion and absorption, inhibited apoptosis by AGE-RAGE signaling, and activated extracellular matrix remodeling by relaxin signaling. Integrated analysis of the microbiome and host transcriptome revealed that Pseudomonas-mediated ingestion capacity, protein utilization, and cellular homeostasis might be the underlying mechanism under feed domestication. These results indicate Pseudomonas and its key genes relating to food ingestion and digestion could serve as the molecular targets for feed domestication and sustainable development in A. grunniens.

Abstract
Background: Although immunotherapy with immune checkpoint therapy has been used to treat head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), response rates and treatment sensitivity remain limited. Recent studies have indicated that transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) may be an important target for novel cancer immunotherapies. Materials and methods: We collected genomic profile data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method and Cox regression were used to establish a prognostic model. Gene set enrichment analysis was applied to explore biological functions. Tracking of indels by decomposition and subclass mapping algorithms were adopted to evaluate immunotherapy efficiency. Result: We established a seven TGF-β pathway-associated gene signature with good prediction efficiency. The high-risk score subgroup mainly showed enrichment in tumor-associated signaling such as hypoxia and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathways; This subgroup was also associated with tumor progression. The low-risk score subgroup was more sensitive to immunotherapy and the high-risk score subgroup to cisplatin, erlotinib, paclitaxel, and crizotinib. Conclusion: The TGF-β pathway signature gene model provides a novel perspective for evaluating effectiveness pre-immunotherapy and may guide further studies of precision immuno-oncology.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) combined with suction curettage for mass-type cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and to analyze the influencing factors of vaginal bleeding and readmission. Methods: From January 2014 to December 2020, 88 patients with mass-type CSP were treated by FUAS combined with suction curettage in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The clinical results and the influencing factors of bleeding and readmission for mass-type CSP were analyzed. Results: All the patients underwent one time FUAS treatment successfully. Immediately after FUAS treatment, color Doppler ultrasound showed obvious necrosis and no perfusion area in all lesions, and the blood flow in the mass-type CSP tissue significantly decreased. The median volume of blood loss in the procedure was 20 ml (range: 5-950 ml). Thirteen patients (15%, 13/88) had vaginal bleeding≥200 ml, and 15 patients (17%, 15/88) were hospitalized again. The average time for menstruation recovery was (28±8) days (range: 18-66 days). The average time needed for serum human chorionic gonadotropin-beta subunit to return to normal levels was (22±6) days (range: 7-59 days). The risk of large vaginal bleeding of patients were related to the blood supply of the mass (OR=5.280, 95%CI: 1.335-20.858, P=0.018) and the largest diameter of the mass (OR=1.060, 95%CI: 1.010-1.120, P=0.030). The risk of readmission were related to the largest diameter of the mass (OR=1.055, 95%CI: 1.005-1.108, P=0.030) and the depth of the uterus cavity (OR=1.583, 95%CI: 1.015-2.471, P=0.043). No serious complications such as intestinal and nerve injury occurred during and after FUAS treatment. Conclusions: FUAS combined with suction curettage is safe and effective in treating patients with mass-type CSP through this preliminary study. The volume of vaginal bleeding are associated with the blood supply of the mass and the largest diameter of the mass, the risk of readmission are related to the largest diameter of the mass and the depth of the uterus cavity.

Abstract
Objective: To develop an area under curve (AUC)-based nomogram to predict vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity in critically ill patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adult patients treated with vancomycin in the intensive care unit at a tertiary teaching hospital from January 2015 to December 2017. Baseline clinical characteristics before vancomycin treatment and pharmacokinetic parameters were collected to establish a prediction model of nephrotoxicity. Univariate analysis was used to screen variables, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to establish the prediction model and nomogram. Results: A total of 159 patients met the inclusion criteria, sixty-four were included in the final analysis. Sixteen patients (25%, 16/64) developed vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity. The following variables were incorporated into the prediction model: vancomycin AUC, estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and combined nephrotoxic drugs. The following equation was established to calculate the probability of nephrotoxicity: logit (P)=-4.83+0.009×AUC-2.87×1 (if GFR>60 ml/min)+2.53×1 (if number of combined nephrotoxic drugs≥2). A nomogram was generated based on the equation. The receiver-operating characteristic curve demonstrated that the AUC of the prediction model was 0.927 (95%CI 0.851-1.000). The cut-off value of the probability of nephrotoxicity was 26.48%. The sensitivity and specificity were 87.5% and 87.5% respectively. Conclusion: The incidence of vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity is high. The AUC-based nomogram can effectively predict vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Background The gut microbiome may play a role in gut barrier homeostasis including epithelial barrier function, but data are scarce and limited to animal studies Aims To assess if alterations in gut microbiome are associated with gut barrier function Methods We utilized the Genetic Environmental Microbial (CCC GEM) cohort of healthy first-degree relatives (FDRs) of Crohn’s disease (CD) patients. Gut barrier function was assessed using the ratio of urinary fractional excretion of lactulose to mannitol (LMR). Stool bacterial DNA was extracted and sequenced for the V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene using MiSeq and processed using QIIME2. Microbial functions were imputed using PICRUSt2. The cohort was divided into a North American discovery cohort (n=2,472) and non-North American external validation cohort (n=655). LMR>0.025 was defined as abnormal. LMR-microbiome associations were assessed using multivariable regression model and Random Forest (RF) classifier algorithm. q<0.05 was considered significant when multiple tests were performed Results The median age of the entire cohort was 17.0 years [IQR 12.0; 24.0], 52.6% were females and 25.4% had LMR>0.025. In the discovery cohort, subjects with LMR>0.025 had markedly reduced alpha diversity (Chao1 index, estimate= -0.0037, p=4.0e-04) and altered beta diversity (Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index, PERMANOVA: pseudo-F statistic = 2.99, p=1.0e-03). We identified eight bacterial genera and 52 microbial pathways associated with LMR>0.025 (q<0.05). Four genera (decreased Adlercreutzia [odds ratio(OR)=0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.6–0.91], Clostridia-UCG-014 [OR=0.71, 95%CI 0.59–0.86], and Clostridium-sensu-stricto-1 [OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.61–0.92] and increased Colidextribacter [OR=1.65, 95%CI 1.2–2.26]) and eight pathways (including decreased biosynthesis of glutamate [OR=0.4, 95%CI 0.21–0.74], tryptophan [OR=0.06, 95%CI 0.01–0.27] and threonine [OR=0.038, 95%CI 0.003–0.41]) were replicated. Bacterial community composition was associated with gut barrier homeostasis as defined by the RF analysis (p= 1.4e-6) Conclusions Gut microbiome community and pathways are associated with gut barrier function.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is proposed to reduce the risk of Crohn’s disease (CD) onset in cohort studies, with inconsistent results. This inconsistency may be due to heterogeneity in defining MD scores. Additionally, relationships between MD compliance and intestinal permeability or sub-clinical inflammation are not defined.
Aims
We examined correlations between different MD scores, and determined associations between MD compliance and intestinal permeability or subclinical inflammation in a cohort of first degree relatives of CD patients.
Methods
We used food frequency questionnaire data from 2,112 subjects of the Crohn’s Colitis Canada- Genes, Environment, Microbial (CCC-GEM) project. We obtained 12 MD definitions from the literature and calculated daily percent compliance, we further compared MD scores via pairwise correlations (Kendall’s Tau). We measured intestinal permeability via urinary fractional excretion ratio of lactulose to mannitol (LMR) (LMR≥0.03 defined abnormal), and subclinical inflammation via fecal calprotectin (FCP) measured with BÜHLMANN fCAL® ELISA (FCP≥250 defined abnormal). We fit multivariable regression models between MD compliance and abnormal LMR and FCP, respectively. Two-sided p<0.05 defined significance.
Results
There was large variation in cross-correlations among MD scores, from nil (t=0.0, p=0.54) to highly significant (t=0.97, p<2.2e-16). Associations of MD compliance and abnormal LMR or FCP were in both directions of effect, largely non-significant. Of the 12 MD scores, none associated with abnormal LMR, while 4 associated with abnormal FCP-Odds Ratios =1.22, 1.23, 1.24, and 1.30; p=0.02, 0.02, 0.01, and 0.009, and 95% Confidence Intervals = [1.03,1.45], [1.04,1.45], [1.05,1.47], and [1.07,1.59] respectively. No diet remained significant after correcting for multiple testing.
Conclusions
Currently MD definitions vary widely. Despite discrepancies, we expected consistent directions of effect for MD compliance on LMR or FCP. The largely non-significant associations between MDs suggest limitations in definition, interpretation, and relation to biological outcomes.

Abstract
Cancer is a great challenge facing global public health. Scholars have made plentiful efforts in the research of cancer therapy, but the results are still not satisfactory. In relevant literature, the role of miRNA in cancer has been widely concerned. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a non-coding, endogenous, single-stranded RNAs that regulate a variety of biological functions. The abnormal level of miR-30d-5p, a type of miRNAs, has been associated with various human tumor types, including lung cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer and other types of human tumors. This reflects the vital function of miR-30d-5p in tumor prognosis. miR-30d-5p can be identified either as an inhibitor hindering the development of, or a promoter accelerating the occurrence of tumors. In addition, the role of miR-30d-5p in cell proliferation, motility, apoptosis, autophagy, tumorigenesis, and chemoresistance are also noteworthy. The multiple roles of miR-30d-5p in human cancer suggest that it has broad feasibility as a biomarker and therapeutic target. This review describes the connection between miR-30d-5p and the clinical indications of tumors, and summarizes the mechanisms by which miR-30d-5p mediates cancer progression.

Abstract
HLA is critical in a variety of diseases, including infectious disease and cancer, and has been used for diagnostic differentiation and immunosurveillance of certain diseases. In addition, emerging evidence suggests that the mutations and dysregulation of lncRNAs are essential contributors in cancers. HLA Complex Group 11 (HCG11) located on MHC region is affiliated with the lncRNA class. Studies have shown that HCG11 could serve as a key regulator in lung cancer, prostate cancer, glioma, cervical cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we summarize the accumulated information on the expression and clinical value of HCG11 in different cancer types, discuss its interactions with microRNAs, mRNAs, and proteins, and discover the biological roles and potential mechanisms of HCG11 in a variety of cellular functions, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Further, we emphasize the possible application of HCG11 in treatment, summarize the studies of HCG11 in chemotherapy resistance and hormone therapy, and propose the significance of further study of HCG11.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs more than 200 nucleotides in length. Although they do not encode proteins, lncRNAs can regulate gene expression at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels. Emerging data show that lncRNAs are important for tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Cancer susceptibility candidate 11 (CASC11) is a prominent lncRNA that is upregulated in various types of cancers. Moreover, its overexpression correlates with larger tumor size, more advanced cancer stages, cancer metastasis, and poor overall survival for most types of cancer. Functionally, the knockdown of CASC11 can inhibit cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, while enhancing apoptosis through its regulation of gene expression and signaling pathways and its interactions with functional proteins. Here, we discuss the identification, expression, and function of CASC11. Additionally, we discuss the potential roles of CASC11 as a diagnostic biomarker, prognostic biomarker, and therapeutic target in various cancers.

Abstract
Resting-state studies have typically assumed constant functional connectivity (FC) between brain regions, and these parameters of interest provide meaningful descriptions of the functional organization of the brain. A number of studies have recently provided evidence pointing to dynamic FC fluctuations in the resting brain, especially in higher-order regions such as the default mode network (DMN). The neural activities underlying dynamic FC remain poorly understood. Here, we recorded electrophysiological signals from DMN regions in freely behaving rats. The dynamic FCs between signals within the DMN were estimated by the phase locking value (PLV) method with sliding time windows across vigilance states [quiet wakefulness (QW) and slow-wave and rapid eye movement sleep (SWS and REMS)]. Factor analysis was then performed to reveal the hidden patterns within the DMN. We identified distinct spatial FC patterns according to the similarities between their temporal dynamics. Interestingly, some of these patterns were vigilance state-dependent, while others were independent across states. The temporal contributions of these patterns fluctuated over time, and their interactive relationships were different across vigilance states. These spatial patterns with dynamic temporal contributions and combinations may offer a flexible framework for efficiently integrating information to support cognition and behavior. These findings provide novel insights into the dynamic functional organization of the rat DMN.

Abstract
The CUPID-Mo experiment at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (France) is a demonstrator for CUPID, the next-generation ton-scale bolometric 0νββ experiment. It consists of a 4.2 kg array of 20 enriched Li_{2}^{100}MoO_{4} scintillating bolometers to search for the lepton-number-violating process of 0νββ decay in ^{100}Mo. With more than one year of operation (^{100}Mo exposure of 1.17 kg×yr for physics data), no event in the region of interest and, hence, no evidence for 0νββ is observed. We report a new limit on the half-life of 0νββ decay in ^{100}Mo of T_{1/2}>1.5×10^{24} yr at 90% C.I. The limit corresponds to an effective Majorana neutrino mass ⟨m_{ββ}⟩<(0.31-0.54) eV, dependent on the nuclear matrix element in the light Majorana neutrino exchange interpretation.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of transcripts that have been considered essential participants in cancer pathogenesis and progression over the past few decades. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 8 (SNHG8) is a newly discovered lncRNA that belongs to the SNHG family, a group of transcripts that can be processed into small nucleolar RNAs and exert important biological functions. As an oncogenic factor, SNHG8 is upregulated in multiple cancer types. Herein, we summarize the biological role of SNHG8 in different cancer types and the underlying mechanisms related to the interaction between SNHG8 and microRNAs, mRNAs, and proteins. In addition, this study emphasizes the clinical value of SNHG8 in cancer, hoping to provide new insights into cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the expression of chemokine-like factor superfamily 6 (CMTM6) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to further explore its clinical significance in OSCC. STUDY DESIGN Samples of 44 OSCC and paracancerous tissues were investigated. We estimated the expression of the 3 proteins by immunohistochemistry and further detected mRNA expression by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS Immunohistochemistry results demonstrated that the positive expression of CMTM6 and PD-1/PD-L1 in OSCC tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues. Statistical significance was found between the 2 groups (all P < .05). Moreover, PD-L1 expression was related to OSCC clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P < .05). The qRT-PCR results confirmed that the relative expression of CMTM6 and PD-1/PD-L1 mRNA in OSCC tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues (all P < .05), and Spearman rank correlation showed that there was a significant relationship between mRNA and protein expression (all P < .05). CONCLUSIONS CMTM6 and PD-1/PD-L1 were upregulated in OSCC, and CMTM6 may play a synergistic role with PD-1/PD-L1 in the immune pathway. Therefore, we believe that CMTM6 and PD-1/PD-L1 will become checkpoints for immunotherapy of OSCC.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common type of malignancy in the world. DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) play key roles in carcinogenesis and regulation of the immune micro-environment, but the gene expression and the role of DNMT1 in HNSCC is unknown. In this study, we utilized online tools and databases for pan-cancer and HNSCC analysis of DNMT1 expression and its association with clinical cancer characteristics. We also identified genes that positively and negatively correlated with DNMT1 expression and identified eight hub genes based on protein–protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Enrichment analyses were performed to explore the biological functions related with of DNMT1. The Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) database was performed to explore the relationship between DNMT1 expression and immune-cell infiltration. We demonstrated that DNMT1 gene expression was upregulated in HNSCC and associated with poor prognosis. Based on analysis of the eight hub genes, we determined that DNMT1 may be involved in cell cycle, proliferation and metabolic related pathways. We also found that significant difference of B cells infiltration based on TP 53 mutation. These findings suggest that DNMT1 related epigenetic alterations have close relationship with HNSCC progression, and DNMT1 could be a novel diagnostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for HNSCC.

Abstract
An 8-week growth trial was conducted to study enterohepatic recirculation of bile acid metabolism and the intestinal microbiota of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) fed with three diets, including 540 g/kg, 270 g/kg or 0 g/kg fishmeal, which was correspondingly replaced by a plant protein blend (named P0, P50 and P100, respectively). The diets were designed to be isonitrogenous, isoenergetic and essential nutrients balanced. With rising levels of dietary plant protein, disruption of the spiral valve intestinal microbiota and more morbidity with liver disease were observed in the P100 group, although there were no haematological abnormalities observed. An obvious bile acids enterohepatic circulation disorder was found with phenotypes of increased liver bile acids compensatory synthesis, and reduced expression of bile acid receptors (FXR and TGR5), which induced BA accumulative toxicity. Accompanied by increased oxidative stress, it further induced hepatic lesions and hypoimmunity, which were non-negligible reasons for the high mortality and low utilization ability of plant protein by Amur sturgeon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the fifth most common malignancy in the world. The 5-methylcytosine (m5C) plays vital roles in pathological conditions, such as cancer. METHODS This study investigated The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database for patients with HNSCC. We characterized the mutations and copy number variations (CNVs) in m5C-regulatory genes, in addition to analyzing their mRNA expressions. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses were used to explore relevant functional annotations of m5C-regulatory genes. RESULTS Alterations in m5C-regulatory genes were closely associated with patient clinicopathological characteristics. The expression of ten m5C-regulatory genes was significantly correlated with CNV patterns, indicating that m5C-regulatory genes have important regulatory effects. There was increased expression of m5C-regulatory genes, particularly ALYREF and NSUN5, during the tumor, node, and metastasis stages. Cox regression analysis revealed that the expression of DNMT1, TET2, and NSUN6 correlated with HNSCC prognoses. Furthermore, the expression of DNMT1 and ALYREF could effectively predict HNSCC risk in patients. In addition, the high expression levels of ALYREF correlated with mitochondrial function, and the elevated DNMT1 expression was associated with peptide cross-linking and humoral immunity. These results provide promising insight into the roles of m5C genes in tumor energy-metabolism and protein synthesis. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, the results indicate that m5C plays critical roles in HNSCC progression, and is also a potential HNSCC prognostic marker.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the composition and differences of amenable mortality in urban and rural areas in China, 2010 and 2017. Methods: With the national mortality rates in 2010 and 2017 calculated by the National Bureau of Statistics and the National Health Commission as the reference, the underreporting rate from diseases was adjusted in combination with the cause-of-death surveillance data published by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and Center for Health Statistics and Information, National Health Commission. Age-standardized mortality was calculated by using a direct method based on the population census in 2010. Differences of the mortality in two years were compared, and the proportion of amenable mortality of different diseases in the total amenable mortality was calculated. Results: In 2010 and 2017, the age-standardized total mortality of non-communicable diseases was 536.4/100 000 and 493.6/100 000, respectively. The age-standardized amenable mortality rates were 107.6/100 000 and 96.0/100 000, respectively. Compared with 2010, the mortality of four major non-communicable diseases declined in 2017. The fastest declined amenable mortality was in with an average annual growth rate of -5.6%, followed by chronic respiratory diseases (-2.5%). Among the 11 subdivided non-communicable diseases, the age-standardized mortality of hypertension, chronic rheumatic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease declined, with an average annual growth rate of -6.7%, -5.8% and -3.0%, respectively. The proportion of amenable mortality from cerebrovascular disease was the highest among the 11 subdivided non-communicable diseases in 2010 and 2017, from 52.4% to 47.2%, followed by ischemic heart disease with an increase from 27.4% to 34.5%. Conclusion: Compared with that in 2010, the amenable mortality of non-communicable chronic diseases in urban and rural areas in China declined in 2017, of which cerebrovascular disease and ischemic heart disease account for more than 80%.

Abstract
The diagnosis of coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) relies mainly upon viral nucleic acid detection, but false negatives can lead to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibody detection is convenient, safe and highly sensitive. Immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgG are commonly used to serologically diagnose COVID-19; however, the role of IgA is not well known. We aimed to quantify the levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM, IgA and IgG antibodies, identify changes in them based on COVID-19 severity, and establish the significance of combined antibody detection. COVID-19 patients, divided into a severe and critical group and a moderate group, and non-COVID-19 patients with respiratory disease were included in this study. A chemiluminescence method was used to detect the levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM, IgA and IgG in the blood samples from the three groups. Epidemiological characteristics, symptoms, blood test results and other data were recorded for all patients. Compared to the traditional IgM-IgG combined antibodies, IgA-IgG combined antibodies are more effective for diagnosing COVID-19. During the disease process, IgA appeared first and disappeared last. All three antibodies had significantly higher levels in COVID-19 patients than in non-COVID-19 patients. IgA and IgG were also higher for severe and critical disease than for moderate disease. All antibodies were at or near low levels at the time of tracheal extubation in critical patients. Detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific combined IgA-IgG antibodies is advantageous in diagnosing COVID-19. IgA detection is suitable during early and late stages of the disease. IgA and IgG levels correspond to disease severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of exosome-derived micro-ribonucleic acid (miR)-21 on chemotherapy resistance of esophageal cancer and its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human esophageal cancer TE-1 and Eca109/DDP cell lines and human normal esophageal Het-1A cells were cultured, and the exosomes were extracted from cells. After miR-21 was inhibited with an inhibitor and overexpressed with miRNA mimics combined with cisplatin, the cell viability was detected via cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), the interaction between miR-21 and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) was detected via dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, and the changes in the protein level were detected via Western blotting. RESULTS The expression level of exosome-derived miR-21 in esophageal cancer cells was higher than that in normal esophageal cells, and it was the highest in cisplatin-resistant esophageal cancer cells. After treatment with cisplatin, miR-21 overexpression significantly reduced the invasion ability of esophageal cancer cells. After miR-21 overexpression, the sensitivity of esophageal cancer cells to cisplatin was lowered. MiR-21 interacted with the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of PDCD4. Moreover, the miR-21 overexpression significantly down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of PDCD4 in cells. CONCLUSIONS MiR-21 affects the sensitivity of esophageal cancer to cisplatin through targeting PDCD4.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common type of malignant tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. Because many HCC patients are diagnosed with advanced disease, surgical treatment is typically not possible, and other currently available treatments are often ineffective. Immunotherapy is being explored as a new treatment method for a variety of cancers, including HCC. However, there have been no systematic reports about the relationship between immune-related genes and HCC patient prognosis. In this study, we established and verified a gene set-based model to examine the relationship between immune-related genes and prognosis in HCC patients. The model was based on a dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and its stability and reliability was confirmed in four verification datasets. In addition, we performed multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify the independent risk factors affecting HCC patient prognoses. We found that this new model based on immune-related genes was effective for predicting prognosis, evaluating disease state, and identifying treatment options for HCC patients.

Abstract
An 8-week growth trial was conducted to investigate the effects of replacing dietary fishmeal with a plant protein blend on the growth performance, mucosal barrier integrity and the related regulation mechanism in Amur Sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) with initial weight of 87.48 g. Three isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were prepared. A basal diet containing 540 g/kg fishmeal (P0), whereas the other two diets were formulated by replacing 50% and 100% of FM with plant protein blend (soybean protein concentrate and cottonseed protein concentrate), and named as P50 and P100, respectively. Although essential amino acids, fatty acids, and available phosphorus had been balanced according to the nutrient requirement of sturgeon, compared with the fish of P0 and P50, the full plant protein diet (P100) significantly reduced growth performance and survival, and accompanied with serious spiral valve intestinal (SVI) damage. The increased tissue necrosis and failed responses in anti-oxidation, programming apoptosis, autophagy and cell proliferation system were regulated by inhibiting ERK1 phosphorylation, which indicated that SVI hypoimmunity and functional degradation were the main reasons for the high mortality and low utilization ability of plant protein in Amur sturgeon.

Abstract
A 10-week growth trial was conducted to investigate the effects of replacing dietary fishmeal with plant proteins on nutrition metabolism, immunity, inflammation and apoptosis responses in liver tissues of Japanese seabass, Lateolabrax japonicas (initial body weight = 10.42 ± 0.01 g). Two isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated. A basal diet containing 54% fishmeal (FM), whereas another diet was prepared by totally replacing FM with a plant protein blend (PP) composed with soybean protein concentrate and cottonseed protein concentrate. Although essential amino acids, fatty acids, and available phosphorus had been balanced according to the FM diet profile, the significantly lower growth performance, metabolic disorder, and fatty liver symptom were observed in the PP group. Compared with the FM group, fish in the PP group showed significantly lower plasma free EAA level and PPV. Glucose metabolism disorder was expressed as the uncontrollable fasting glycolysis and pyruvate aerobic oxidation at postprandial 24 h with significantly up-regulated GK, PK and PDH genes expression, which potentially over-produced acetyl-CoA as the substrate for protein and lipid synthesis. Significantly reduced plasma GLU, but increased GC level, along with very significantly reduced liver GLY storage could be observed in the PP group. Plasma TG and hepatic NEFA contents were significantly decreased, but the hepatic TC content was very significantly increased in the PP group, in addition, hepatocyte vacuolation appeared. The significantly up-regulated cholesterol synthesis gene (HMGCR) expression but down-regulated bile acid synthesis gene (CYP7A1) expression could be the main reason for the fatty liver induced by cholesterol accumulation. The reduced plasma IgM content accompanied by the up-regulated mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IL1β) and activated apoptosis signals of liver tissues were found in the PP group. The hyperthyroidism (higher plasma T3 and T4) and the accelerated energy metabolism rate decreased the growth performance in the PP group. The activated p65NF-kB may promote the hepatocytes apoptosis via the extrinsic pathway (caspase8/caspase3). Simultaneously, a "self-saving" response could be observed that activated cAMP promoted the lipolysis/β-oxidation process and up-regulated gene expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 via promoting CREB expression, further inhibited the over-phosphorylation of JNK protein, which might impede the intrinsic apoptosis pathway (caspase9/caspase3). In conclusion, the nutrient and energy metabolic disorder induced fatty liver related to the cholesterol accumulation in Japanese seabass fed full PP diet, which was under the regulation by cAMP-JNK/NF-kB-caspase signaling pathway. The hemostasis phosphorylation of JNK protein protected the liver tissues from more serious damage.

Abstract
N-Carbamylglutamate (NCG), an analogue of N-acetylglutamate (NAG), can promote the synthesis of endogenous Arginine (Arg) in mammals, but not well studied in fish. This study was conducted to investigate the capacity of Arg endogenous synthesis by NCG, and the effects of various dietary NCG doses on growth performance, hepatic health and underlying nutrient regulation metabolism on ERK1/2-mTOR-S6K1 signaling pathway in Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus). Four experimental diets were prepared with NCG supplement levels of 0 (N0), 360 (N360), 720 (N720) and 3600 (N3600) mg/kg, in which N360 was at the maximum recommended level authorized by MOA, China in fish feed, and the N720 and N3600 levels were 2 and 10-fold of N360, respectively. Each diet was fed to 6 replicates with 30 Japanese seabass (initial body weight, IBW = 11.67 ± 0.02 g) in each tank. The results showed that the dietary NCG supplementation had no significant effects on the SGR and morphometric parameters of Japanese seabass, but 360-720 mg/kg NCG inclusion promoted PPV, while the 10-fold (3600 mg/kg) overdose of NCG had remarkably negative effects with significantly reduced feed efficiency, PPV and LPV. We found that Japanese seabass can utilize 360-720 mg/kg NCG to synthesis Arg to improve the amino acid metabolism by increasing plasma Arg and up-regulating intestinal ASL gene expression. Increased plasma GST and decreased MDA indicated the improved antioxidant response. Dietary NCG inclusion decreased plasma IgM and down-regulated the mRNA levels of inflammation (TNF-α and IL8), apoptosis (caspase family) and fibrosis (TGF-β1) related genes in the liver. The immunofluorescence examination revealed significantly decreased hepatic apoptosis and necrosis signals in the NCG groups. The ameliorated liver function and histological structure were closely related to the improved lipid metabolism parameters with decreased plasma VLDL and hepatic TG and NEFA accumulation, down-regulated fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis and simultaneously increased lipolysis gene mRNA levels, which regulated by inhibiting phosphorylation of ERK1/2-mTOR-S6K1 signaling pathway. Consuming 3600 mg/kg of dietary NCG is not safe for Japanese seabass culturing with the significantly increased FCR and decreased protein and lipid retention, and reduced plasma ALB. Accordingly, the observed efficacy and safety level of dietary NCG in the diet of Japanese seabass is 720 mg/kg.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vitamin D is implicated linked to liver cancer and chronic liver diseases, but its association with tumor response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether vitamin D levels influence tumor response in HCC patients treated with TACE. METHODS A total of 58 HCC patients undergoing TACE were enrolled in the study. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels were determined at baseline and 1 day after TACE using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Response to TACE was evaluated after a 4-6 week interval. Univariate and multivariate analyses with Cox regression model were performed to determine the risk factors associated with tumor response. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive performance of baseline 25-OHD levels on tumor response in HCC patients undergoing TACE. RESULTS 43.1% of HCC patients showed 25-OHD deficiency. Baseline 25-OHD level was associated with liver cirrhosis (P = 0.025), vascular invasion (P = 0.031), Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage (P = 0.002) and an alanine aminotransferase increase after TACE (P = 0.021). Serum 25-OHD level was significantly decreased 1 day after TACE (P = 0.045). Multiple tumor numbers (P = 0.034) and low baseline 25-OHD levels (P = 0.040) were independently correlated with poor tumor response after TACE. ROC curve analysis showed that baseline 25-OHD levels present better predictive performance for OR in those patients, compared with other current clinical test pointers. CONCLUSION Our study suggested that 25-OHD deficiency at baseline is a prognostic indicator for a poor tumor response in hepatocellular carcinoma treated with TACE.
