Abstract
Background The global incidence of acute events in psychiatric patients is intensifying, and models to successfully predict acute events have attracted much attention. Objective To explore the influence factors of acute incident severe mental disorders (SMDs) and the application of Rstudio statistical software, and build and verify a nomogram prediction model. Methods SMDs were taken as research objects. The questionnaire survey method was adopted to collect data. Patients with acute event independent factors were screened. R software multivariable Logistic regression model was constructed and a nomogram was drawn. Results A total of 342 patients with SMDs were hospitalized, and the number of patients who encountered acute events was 64, which accounted for 18.70% of all patients. Statistical significances were found in many aspects (all P ˂ 0.05). Such aspects included Medication adherence, disease diagnosis, marital status, caregivers, social support and the hospitalization environment (odds ratio (OR) = 4.08, 11.62, 12.06, 10.52, 0.04 and 0.61, respectively) were independent risk factors for the acute events of patients with SMDs. The prediction model was modeled, and the AUC was 0.77 and 0.80. The calibration curve shows that the model has good calibration. The clinical decision curve shows that the model has a good clinical effect. Conclusion The constructed risk prediction model shows good prediction effectiveness in the acute events of patients with SMDs, which is helpful for the early detection of clinical mental health staff at high risk of acute events.

Abstract
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a very common and infectious virus that affects silkworms and hinders silk production. To investigate the intestinal flora of BmNPV-resistant and BmNPV-sensitive silkworm varieties, 16 S rDNA high-throughput sequencing was performed. The results of the cluster analysis showed that the intestinal flora of the resistant silkworm variety was more abundant than that of the sensitive silkworm variety. This was found even when infection with BmNPV caused a sharp decline in the number of intestinal floral species in both resistant and sensitive silkworm varieties. The abundances of the intestinal flora, including Aureimonas, Ileibacterium, Peptostreptococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, and Halomonas, in the resistant variety were considerably greater after infection with BmNPV than those in the sensitive variety. After infection with BmNPV, four kinds of important intestinal bacteria, namely, f_Saccharimonadaceae, Peptostreptococcus, Aureirmonas, and f_Rhizobiaceae, were found in the resistant silkworm variety. In the sensitive silkworm variety, only Faecalibaculum was an important intestinal bacterium. The differential or important bacteria mentioned above might be involved in immunoreaction or antiviral activities, especially in the intestines of BmNPV-resistant silkworms. By conducting a functional enrichment analysis, we found that BmNPV infection did not change the abundance of important functional components of the intestinal flora in resistant or sensitive silkworm varieties. However, some functional factors, such as the biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism of secondary metabolites (e.g., terpenoids and polyketides) and lipid transport and metabolism, were more important in the resistant silkworm variety than in the sensitive variety; thus, these factors may increase the resistance of the host to BmNPV. To summarize, we found significant differences in the composition, abundance, and function of the intestinal flora between resistant and sensitive silkworm varieties, especially after infection with BmNPV, which might be closely related to the resistance of resistant silkworm varieties to BmNPV.

Abstract
Under the sustained exposure to tumor microenvironment, effector lymphocytes may transform into the suppressive populations. γδ T cells are recognized as a crucial mediator and effector of immune surveillance and thereby a promising candidate for anti-tumor immunotherapy. Emerging clinical studies implicate that some γδ T subsets play an important role in promoting tumor progression. Our previous study identified an abnormal Vδ2+ T cells subset with regulatory features (Reg-Vδ2) in the patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and demonstrated that Reg-Vδ2 cells significantly suppressed the anti-AML effects of effector Vδ2 cells (Eff-Vδ2). The molecular mechanism underlying the subset transformation of Vδ2 cells remains unclear. Here, we found that the expression and activity of STAT5 were significantly induced in Reg-Vδ2 cells compared with Eff-Vδ2 cells, which was consistent with the differences found in primary Vδ2 cells between AML patients and healthy donors. In-vitro experiments further indicated that STAT5 was required for the induction of Reg-Vδ2 cells. The combined immunophenotypical and functional assays showed that blockage of STAT5 alleviated the immunosuppressive effect of Reg-Vδ2 cells on Eff-Vδ2 cells and enhanced the anti-AML capacity of Vδ2 cells from health donors and AML patients. Collectively, these results suggest that STAT5 acts as a critical regulator in the transformation of effector Vδ2 cells into a subset with immunosuppressive characteristics, providing a potential target for the improvement the efficacy of γδ T cells-based immunotherapy to treat AML and other hematologic malignancies.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a multifactorial condition characterized by loss of muscle mass. It poses significant health risks in older adults worldwide. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are reported to address this disease. Certain dietary patterns, such as adequate energy intake and essential amino acids, have shown positive outcomes in preserving muscle function. Various medications, including myostatin inhibitors, growth hormones, and activin type II receptor inhibitors, have been evaluated for their effectiveness in managing sarcopenia. However, it is important to consider the variable efficacy and potential side effects associated with these treatments. There are currently no drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for sarcopenia. The ongoing research aims to develop more effective strategies in the future. Our review of research on disease mechanisms and drug development will be a valuable contribution to future research endeavors.

Abstract
The Hippo pathway plays crucial roles in governing various biological processes during tumorigenesis and metastasis. Within this pathway, upstream signaling stimuli activate a core kinase cascade, involving MST1/2 and LATS1/2, that subsequently phosphorylates and inhibits the transcriptional co-activators YAP and its paralog TAZ. This inhibition modulates the transcriptional regulation of downstream target genes, impacting cell proliferation, migration, and death. Despite the acknowledged significance of protein kinases in the Hippo pathway, the regulatory influence of protein phosphatases remains largely unexplored. In this study, we conducted the first gain-of-functional screen for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) regulating the Hippo pathway. Utilizing a LATS kinase biosensor (LATS-BS), a YAP/TAZ activity reporter (STBS-Luc), and a comprehensive PTP library, we identified numerous novel PTPs that play regulatory roles in the Hippo pathway. Subsequent experiments validated PTPN12, a master regulator of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), as a previously unrecognized negative regulator of the Hippo pathway effectors, oncogenic YAP/TAZ, influencing breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. In summary, our findings offer valuable insights into the roles of PTPs in the Hippo signaling pathway, significantly contributing to our understanding of breast cancer biology and potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Ultrahigh-capacity silicon (Si) anodes are essential for the escalating energy demands driven by the booming e-transportation and energy storage field. However, their practical applications are strictly hampered by their intrinsically low electroconductivity, sluggish Li-ion diffusion, and undesirably large volume change. Herein, a high-performance Si anode, comprised of a modulated soft/hard coating of polyethylene glycol (PEG) (as Li-ion conductor) and polyaniline (PANI) (as electron conductor) on the surface of Si nanoparticles (NPs) through H-bonding network, is introduced. In this design, the abundant ─OH groups of soft PEG allow it to uniformly cover Si NPs while the hard PANI binds to PEG through its ─N─H group, thus constructing a tight connectin between Si and PEG-PANI (PP). Consequently, the elastic PP allows Si@PP to accommodate the huge volume expansion while possessing fine electronic/ionic conductivity. Therefore, the Si@PP anode exhibits a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 90.5% and a stable capacity of 1871 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 1 A g-1 with a retention of 85.7%. Additionally, the Si@PP anode also demonstrates a high areal capacity of 3.01 mAh cm-2 after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 . This work reveals a scalable interface design of multi-layer multifunctional coatings for high-performance electrode materials in next-generation Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Designing next-generation molecular devices typically necessitates plentiful oxygen-bearing sites to facilitate multiple-electron transfers. However, the theoretical limits of existing materials for energy conversion and information storage devices make it inevitable to hunt for new competitors. Polyoxometalates (POMs), a unique class of metal-oxide clusters, have been investigated exponentially due to their structural diversity and tunable redox properties. POMs behave as electron-sponges owing to their intrinsic ability of reversible uptake-release of multiple electrons. In this review, numerous POM-frameworks together with desired features of a contender material and inherited properties of POMs are systematically discussed to demonstrate how and why the electron-sponge-like nature of POMs is beneficial to design next-generation water oxidation/reduction electrocatalysts, and neuromorphic nonvolatile resistance-switching random-access memory devices. The aim is to converge the attention of scientists who are working separately on electrocatalysts and memory devices, on a point that, although the application types are different, they all hunt for a material that could exhibit electron-sponge-like feature to realize boosted performances and thus, encouraging the scientists of two completely different fields to explore POMs as imperious contenders to design next-generation nanodevices. Finally, challenges and promising prospects in this research field are also highlighted.

Abstract
Muscle atrophy refers to a decline in muscle mass and function, which has become a global concern due to the aging population. Various clinical trials have investigated the inhibitors of myostatin (MSTN). They have shown promising improvements in muscle function and quality of life. However, there are no drugs specifically targeting MSTN that have been approved for clinical use. In this study, we virtually screened liensinine (LIE), a food (Nelumbo nucifera)-derived compound, with low toxicity, from over 1.1 million compounds. We subsequently identified it as a potential candidate that targets MSTN by a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and drug affinity response target stability (DARTS) assay. Further validation through cellular and in vivo studies demonstrated its promising potential in combating muscle atrophy. The mechanism of action may involve hindering the interaction between MSTN and the activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) and downregulating the expression of downstream proteins, including the muscle RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF-1) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx)/Atrogin-1, ultimately promoting muscle regeneration. These results provide a strong foundation for future studies to explore the therapeutic potential of LIE in clinical settings.

Abstract
The current study reported high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) stabilized by phosphorylated walnut protein/pectin complexes (PWPI/Pec) and elucidated how their rheological properties were modulated by pH conditions, mass ratios, and concentrations of the complexes. At pH 3.0, the HIPEs stabilized by PWPI/Pec exhibited smaller oil droplet sizes, as well as higher storage modulus (G') and flow stress, in comparison to those stabilized by the complexes formed at pH 4.0-6.0. These observations can be directly linked to pH-dependent changes in particle size, surface hydrophobicity, and wettability of the PWPI/Pec complexes. Rheological analysis revealed that all generated HIPEs displayed weak strain overshoot behavior, irrespective of pH conditions. Notably, HIPEs stabilized by PWPI/Pec at mass ratios of 2:1 and 4:1 showed enlarged oil droplet sizes, lower G' and flow stress but higher flow strain with unaffected loss factor compared to those stabilized by PWPI/Pec 1:1. However, reducing the concentration of PWPI/Pec led to a simultaneous decrease in G', flow stress, and flow strain, along with a significant increase in the loss factor of the HIPEs. Furthermore, the HIPEs formed with 1% PWPI/Pec 1:1 at pH 3.0 demonstrated excellent stability against heat treatment and long-term storage. These results provide valuable insights into the modulation of rheological characteristics of HIPEs and offer guidance for the application of walnut protein-based stabilizers in HIPE systems.

Abstract
Nosema bombycis, an obligate intracellular parasite, is a single-celled eukaryote known to infect various tissues of silkworms, leading to the manifestation of pebrine. Trehalase, a glycosidase responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of trehalose into two glucose molecules, assumes a crucial role in thermal stress tolerance, dehydration, desiccation stress, and asexual development. Despite its recognized importance in these processes, the specific role of trehalase in N. bombycis remains uncertain. This investigation focused on exploring the functions of trehalase 3 in N. bombycis (NbTre3). Immunofluorescence analysis of mature (dormant) spores indicated that NbTre3 primarily localizes to the spore membrane or spore wall, suggesting a potential involvement in spore germination. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction results indicated that the transcriptional level of NbTre3 peaked at 6 h post N. bombycis infection, potentially contributing to energy storage for proliferation. Throughout the life cycle of N. bombycis within the host cell, NbTre3 was detected in sporoplasm during the proliferative stage rather than the sporulation stage. RNA interference experiments revealed a substantial decrease in the relative transcriptional level of NbTre3, accompanied by a certain reduction in the relative transcriptional level of Nb16S rRNA. These outcomes suggest that NbTre3 may play a role in the proliferation of N. bombycis. The application of the His pull-down technique identified 28 proteins interacting with NbTre3, predominantly originating from the host silkworm. This finding implies that NbTre3 may participate in the metabolism of the host cell, potentially utilizing the host cell's energy resources.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is considered a high-capacity anode material with potential for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the commercial application of Si anode is seriously hindered by huge volume variation (>300%) and limited Li+ diffusion ability. Herein, lithium metasilicate (LS), a novel inorganic binder, was innovatively developed to accommodate these challenges. Favorable compatibility is observed between the LS binder and Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) due to the existence of Si element within the LS skeleton. The interaction of the LS binder and SiNPs leads to a strong adhesion effect, enhancing the cycling stability of Si anode. The Si electrode with the LS binder presented an average discharge capacity of 2123 mAh/g at 0.84 A/g after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the presence of the Li+ transport channel within the LS binder enhances Li+ diffusion ability within Si anode. As a result, the average discharge capacity reaches 663 mAh/g at 8.4 A/g. This work thus explored new inorganic binder design approaches for Si anode, contributing to the advancement of high-performance Si anode.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries employing sulfide solid electrolyte and Li metal anode are promising because of their high safety and energy densities. However, the interface between Li metal and sulfides suffers from catastrophic instability which stems the practical use. Here, a dynamically stable sulfide electrolyte architecture to construct the hierarchy of interface stability is reported. By rationally designing the multilayer structures of sulfide electrolytes, the dynamic decomposing-alloying process from MS4 (M = Ge or Sn) unit in sulfide interlayer can significantly prohibit Li dendrite penetration is revealed. The abundance of highly electronic insulating decompositions, such as Li2 S, at the sulfide interlayer interface helps to well constrain the dynamic decomposition process and preserve the long-term polarization stability is also highlighted. By using Li6 PS5 Cl||Li10 SnP2 S12 ||Li6 PS5 Cl electrolyte architecture, Li metal anode shows an unprecedented critical current density over 3 mA cm-2 and achieves the steady over-potential for ≈900 hours. Based upon the merits, the Li||LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 battery delivers a remarkable 75.3% retention even after 600 cycles at 1 C (1C-0.95 mA cm-2 ) under a low stack pressure of 15 MPa.

Abstract
Lambda-cyhalothrin, also known as cyhalothrin, is an efficient, broad-spectrum, quick-acting pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide and the most powerful pyrethroid insecticide in the world. However, there is increasing evidence that lambda-cyhalothrin is closely related to a variety of toxicity drawbacks (hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and reproductive toxicity, among others) in non-target organisms, and oxidative stress seems to be the main mechanism of toxicity. This manuscript reviews the oxidative and mitochondrial damage induced by lambda-cyhalothrin and the signalling pathways involved in this process, indicating that oxidative stress occupies an important position in lambda-cyhalothrin toxicity. The mechanism of antioxidants to alleviate the toxicity of lambda-cyhalothrin is also discussed. In addition, the metabolites of lambda-cyhalothrin and the major metabolic enzymes involved in metabolic reactions are summarized. This review article reveals a key mechanism of lambda-cyhalothrin toxicity-oxidative damage and suggests that the use of antioxidants seems to be an effective method for preventing toxicity.

Abstract
In this work, the ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method offers a facile method to synthesize highly efficient photoluminescence sulfur quantum dots (SQDs). Impressively, a switchable fluorescent "on-off-on" sensor was developed using the acquired SQDs, which are capable of sequentially detecting iron ions (Fe3+) and ascorbic acid (AA) with exceptional sensitivity and selectivity. Meanwhile, SQDs and Fe3+ formed complexes through coordination, causing the fluorescence quenching of SQDs because of the static quenching effect. Upon the addition of AA into the SQDs/Fe3+ system, a redox-reaction-mediated mechanism leads to the recovery of fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity of SQDs exhibits a linear relationship with the concentrations of Fe3+ and AA in the ranges 5-30 and 20-100 μM, respectively. Notably, the detection limits achieved are 14.31 nM for Fe3+ and 0.64 μM for AA. Moreover, the chemosensor was successfully employed for monitoring Fe3+ in real water samples and AA in fruits. These results demonstrate the excellent analysis and detection capabilities of SQDs in the complex environment.

Abstract
The demand for high-performance and cost-effective energy storage solutions for mobile electronic devices and electric vehicles has been a driving force for technological advancements. Among the various options available, transitional metal oxides (TMOs) have emerged as a promising candidates due to their exceptional energy storage capabilities and affordability. In particular, TMO nanoporous arrays fabricated by electrochemical anodization technique demonstrate unrivaled advantages including large specific surface area, short ion transport paths, hollow structures that reduce bulk expansion of materials, and so on, which have garnered significant research attention in recent decades. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews that discuss the progress of anodized TMO nanoporous arrays and their applications in energy storage. Therefore, this review aims to provide a systematic detailed overview of recent advancements in understanding the ion storage mechanisms and behavior of self-organized anodic TMO nanoporous arrays in various energy storage devices, including alkali metal ion batteries, Mg/Al-ion batteries, Li/Na metal batteries, and supercapacitors. This review also explores modification strategies, redox mechanisms, and outlines future prospects for TMO nanoporous arrays in energy storage.

Abstract
Developing sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with high initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and long-term cycling stability is crucial to meet energy storage device requirements. Designing anode materials that could exhibit high ICE is a promising strategy to realize enhanced energy density in SIBs. A trifunctional network binder substantially improves the electrochemical performance and ICE, providing excellent mechanical properties and strong adhesion strength. A rationally designed electrode material and binder can achieve high ICE, long cycling performance, and excellent specific capacity. Here, a NiS/NiS2 heterostructure as an anode material and a trifunctional network binder (SA-g-PAM) are designed for SIBs. Unprecedently, the anode comprising of an SA-g-PAM binder achieved the highest ICE of 90.7% and remarkable cycling stability for 19000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1 and maintained the specific capacity of 482.3 mAh g-1 even after 19000 cycles. This exciting work provides an alternate direction to the battery industry for developing high-performance electrode materials and binders with high ICE and excellent cycling stability for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Alkaline-extracted walnut protein isolates showed relatively poor solubility and emulsifying properties in many previous studies. However, whether they can be used as potential emulsifiers to stabilize high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) remains unknown. Herein, walnut protein isolates were prepared by alkaline extraction from walnut kernels with or without pellicles (named PAWPI and AWPI, respectively). PAWPI conjugated with pellicle polyphenols showed improved solubility and higher antioxidant capacity than AWPI. HIPEs were fabricated via a one-step method using AWPI or PAWPI as the sole protein emulsifier. HIPEs (oil fraction of 0.8, with 0.1% β-carotene) could be stabilized by PAWPI at a relatively low concentration of 0.2% (w/v), while at least 1% (w/v) AWPI was required to effectively stabilize HIPEs. HIPEs stabilized by PAWPI had smaller oil droplet sizes than those stabilized by AWPI. Rheological analysis indicated that PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs showed higher viscosity and better viscoelasticity than AWPI-stabilized HIPEs. Large-amplitude oscillation shearing analysis suggested that PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs were stiffer but more brittle than AWPI-stabilized HIPEs. Moreover, both PAWPI- and AWPI-stabilized HIPEs exhibited good storage stability and were relatively stable against heat treatment and ionic strength. PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs showed a higher protective capacity for encapsulated β-carotene than AWPI-stabilized HIPEs. In addition, PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs showed good 3D printability and could be used as a promising edible ink.

Abstract
Generally, gelatin was irreversibly cross-linked by chemical reagents to improve its water-resistance. However, few chemical reagents meet both the requirements of high cross-inking efficiency and tunable degradation. Here a reversible cross-linker, disulphide-containing bis-succinimide, was synthesized and used to control the cross-linking and degradation of edible gelatin film. Mixture of the gelatin and cross-linker for 120 min generated gelatin films that could preserve their morphology in 37 ℃ warm water for above 40 days. The gelatin film changed its microstructure from net to tightness after the cross-linking, thus facilitating the embedding of the targeted molecule into the gelatin material. The degradation of the cross-linked gelatin film and the release of its inclusion could be controlled by biocompatible glutathione. This work provides a good method for preparing modified gelatin with promising water-resistance, good biocompatibility, and tunable degradation for food/biomedical engineering applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Walnut proteins have poor solubility and dispersity under acidic pH conditions, which limits their application in acidic beverages and foods. The present study aimed to fabricate stable nanocomplexes between phosphorylated walnut protein (PWPI) and chitosan (CS) at acidic pH and investigate the encapsulation capacity of the complexes. RESULTS PWPI/CS nanocomplexes prepared at a mass ratio of 2:1 showed small Z-average sizes (approximately 285 nm at pH 5.5 and 222 nm at pH 3.5) with a narrow particle distribution (polydispersity index < 0.3). Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) can be effectively encapsulated into PWPI/CS with improved solubility. Circular dichroism analysis indicated that PWPI/CS and CAPE-loaded PWPI/CS (PWPI/CS-CAPE) had a reduced α-helical content and increased β-sheet content. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis further identified the different driving forces for the complexation of PWPI and CS at pH 3.5 and 5.5 and confirmed the successful encapsulation of CAPE. Rheological results revealed that the PWPI/CS and PWPI/CS-CAPE formed at pH 3.5 (PWPI/CS-CAPE-3.5) had a higher apparent viscosity and better viscoelasticity than the complexes formed at pH 5.5. PWPI/CS-CAPE-3.5 also showed good stability under heat treatment, salt treatment, and long-term storage. Moreover, PWPI/CS-CAPE complexes showed controlled release of CAPE. CONCLUSION PWPI/CS nanocomplexes prepared at acidic pH were stable and promising carriers for CAPE, which would expand the application of walnut proteins in the food industry.

Abstract
Realizing efficacious π-donation from the O 2p orbital to electron-deficient metal (t2g ) d-orbitals along with separately tuned adsorption of *O and *OOH, is an imperious pre-requisite for an electrocatalyst design to demonstrate boosted oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. To regulate the π-donation and the adsorption ability for *O and *OOH, herein, a facile strategy to modulate the electron transfer from electron-rich t2g -orbitals to electron-deficient t2g -orbitals, via strong π-donation from the π-symmetry lone pairs of the bridging O2- , and the d-band center of a biomimetic honeycomb (BHC)-like nanoarchitecture (Ir1- x (Ir0.8 V0.2 O2 )x -BHC) is introduced. The suitable integration of V heteroatoms in the single crystal system of IrO2 decreases the electron density on the neighboring Ir sites, and causes an upshift in the d-band center of Ir1- x (Ir0.8 V0.2 O2 )x -BHC, weakening the adsorption of *O while strengthening that of *OOH, lowers the energy barrier for OER. Therefore, BHC design demonstrates excellent OER performance (shows a small overpotential of 238 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 39.87 mV dec-1 ) with remarkable stability (130 h) in corrosive acidic electrolyte. This work opens a new corridor to design robust biomimetic nanoarchitectures of modulated π-symmetry (t2g ) d-orbitals and the band structure, to achieve excellent activity and durability in acidic environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the specific roles of a crucial N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase, methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14), in FLSs activation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS RA rat model was induced by administering intraperitoneally collagen antibody alcohol. Primary fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) were isolated from joint synovium tissues from rats. shRNA transfection tools were used to downregulated METTL14 expression in vivo and vitro. The injury of joint synovium showed by HE staining. The cell apoptosis of FLSs was determined by flow cytometry. The levels of IL-6, IL-18 and CXCL10 in serum and culture supernatants were measured by ELISA kits. The expressions of LIM and SH3 domain protein 1(LASP1), p-SRC/SRC, and p-AKT/AKT in FLSs and joint synovium tissues were determined by western blots. RESULTS The expression of METTL14 was greatly induced in the synovium tissues of RA rat compared with normal control rat. Compared with sh-NC treated FLSs, METTL14 knockdown significantly increased cell apoptosis, inhibited cell migration and invasion, and suppressed the production of IL-6, IL-18 and CXCL10 induced by TNF-a. METTL14 Silencing suppresses the expression of LASP1 and the activation of Src/AKT axis induce by TNF-a in FLSs. METTL14 improves the mRNA stability of LASP1 through m6A modification. In contrast, these were reversed by LASP1 overexpression. Moreover, METTL14 silencing clearly alleviates FLSs activation and inflammation in a RA rat model. CONCLUSION These results suggested that METTL14 promote FLSs activation and related inflammatory response via the LASP1/SRC/AKT signaling pathway and identified METTL14 as a potential target for treating RA.

Abstract
Layered oxides LiNixCoyMnzO2 are widely used as the main cathode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. Over long-term cycling, irreversible phase transformations in layered oxides usually occur along with the loss of active lithium, which directly reflects in the sharp decrease of capacity. However, it is difficult to accurately and rapidly determine lithium content in aged materials, raising extreme impediments in the direct recycling of layered oxides. Herein, we propose a facile method for quick and accurate calculation of the residual lithium content through the developed relationship of shear strain and the states of charge. Based on this recognization, a discharge capacity close to the original capacity of the pristine material is achieved in the regenerated material by combining a hydrothermal method with annealing treatment. The recycled material demonstrates a dramatic improvement in electrochemical properties, especially the high rate performance. This method not only effectively realizes the quantitative regeneration of cathode materials but also provides a possible strategy for the future development of direct regeneration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Managing maxillary transverse deficiency (MTD) with closed intermaxillary suture is a challenge in orthodontic treatment plans; over the years, clinicians have developed many approaches to treat this significant dentofacial deformity. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the underlying causes of MTD and to establish an effective treatment method for restoring the ideal aesthetics and functions for patients. A current and effective SARPE technique for expanding the maxillary arch involves performing 2-piece Le Fort I osteotomy to surgically apply horizontal force to the maxilla along the midpalatal suture in conjunction with either a tooth-borne or bone-borne appliance. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systemic review was conducted in order to investigate the differences between the two treatment methods for MTD with matured and closed intermaxillary suture: bone-anchored and tooth-borne appliance during SARPE (surgically-assisted rapid palatal expansion). The review was conducted in the English language through PubMed and Google Scholar electronic databases. The protocol is being reported in accordance with the PRISMA Statement. RESULTS This research, however, is subject to several limitations, including minimal randomization, limited sample size, indefinite measurement methods, and a short follow-up period. Each method of maxillary transverse deficiency therapy has been proven to be effective in expanding the maxillary arch. CONCLUSION From the analysis of the articles, it was concluded that bone-anchored appliances have a more predictable and stable expansion compared to the tooth-borne appliance during SARPE. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to confirm its long-term effectiveness.

Abstract
Fe3O4is an environmentally friendly gas sensing material with high response, but the cross-response to various analytes and poor thermal stability limit its practical applications. In this work, we prepared Fe3O4@uio66 core-shell composite via a facile method. The selective response to volatile organic compounds, especially to electrolyte vapors of lithium-ion batteries, as well as long-term stability of Fe3O4@uio66 has been dramatically enhanced compared to pure Fe3O4, due to the preconcentrator feature and thermal stability of the uio66 thin shell. Real-time detection of electrolyte leakage for an actual punctured lithium-ion battery was further demonstrated. The Fe3O4@uio66 sensor, after aging for 3 months, was able to detect the electrolyte leakage in 30 s, while the voltage of the punctured battery was maintained at the same level as that of a pristine battery over 6 h. This practical test results verified ability of the Fe3O4@uio66 sensor with long-term aging stability for hours of early safety warning of lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Large-scale applications of conventional conductive binders for silicon (Si) anodes are challenging to accomplish due to their complex synthesis steps and high cost. Herein, a carbonized polymer dots-assisted polyvinyl alcohol-chitosan (PVA-CS-CPDs) binder is developed through a simple and low-cost hydrothermal method. Through rational design, the PVA-CS-CPDs binder retains rich polar groups while forming conjugated structures. The conjugated structure endows the PVA-CS-CPDs with high electronic conductivity, and the retained polar groups maintain strong binding strength. The proposed water-soluble binding system acts as both a binder and conductive additive, enabling stable cycling for high-Si-content (90 wt.%) anodes without any other conductive additives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excitation/inhibition imbalance (E/I imbalance), which involves an increase of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole (AMPA) receptors (AMPARs) and decrease of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA) type A receptors (GABAaRs) on the neuron surface, has been documented in the pathogenesis of seizures. Notably, it has been established that both the glutamate receptor subunit 2 (GluR2) of AMPARs and beta 2/3 subunits of GABAaRs (Gabrb2+3) participate in the recycling mechanism mediated by the kinesin heavy chain isoform 5A (KIF5A), which determines the number of neuron surface receptors. However, it remains unclear whether receptor recycling is involved in the pathogenesis of seizures. METHODS Twelve adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to the normal control (Ctl) group (n=6) and the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizure (Sez) group (n=6). The rats in the Ctl group were treated with saline. The rats in the Sez group received an intraperitoneal injection of PTZ at an initial dose of 40 mg/kg. Primary cultured neurons were obtained from newborn rats (24-hour-old). The neurons were exposed to magnesium-free (Mg2+-free) extracellular fluid for 3 hours to establish the seizure model in vitro. We detected the electrophysiology of the seizure model, the expression levels of KIF5A, GluR2, and Gabrb2+3, the recycling ratio of GluR2 and Gabrb2+3, the interaction between KIF5A and GluR2, and the interaction between KIF5A and Gabrb2+3. RESULTS In the Sez group, the expression of GluR2 on the cell surface was increased and the expression of Gabrb2+3 on the cell surface was decreased. The amplitude and frequency of action potentials were significantly increased in the Mg2+-free group. The amplitude and decay time of AMPAR-mediated miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents were increased in the Mg2+-free group. The amplitude and decay time of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents were decreased in the Mg2+-free group. The recycling ratio of GluR2 was increased and the recycling ratio of Gabrb2+3 was decreased in the Mg2+-free group. The interaction between KIF5A and GluR2 was increased, and the interaction between KIF5A and Gabrb2+3 was decreased in the seizure model in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSIONS The recycling of AMPA receptors/GABAa receptors is related to E/I imbalance and may be regulated by KIF5A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The low solubility and poor dispersion of alkaline-extracted walnut protein isolate (AWPI) limit its application as a protein-based carrier for the delivery of poorly soluble nutraceuticals, including curcumin. This work investigated the physicochemical characteristics of phosphorylated walnut protein isolate (PWPI) extracted using sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) and evaluated its encapsulation ability. RESULTS The results of phosphorus determination, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the phosphorylation of the extracted PWPI. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis indicated that PWPI contained higher α-helix and lower β-sheet contents than AWPI. The PWPI prepared at pH 9.0 and 11.0 showed significantly improved solubility, similar surface hydrophobicity, and increased surface charges compared to the AWPI. Fluorescence quenching experiments indicated that the binding affinity of curcumin to PWPI was significantly higher than that of AWPI. When bound to PWPI, the solubility of curcumin in aqueous solution was greatly enhanced, with an 8700-fold increase at a nanocomplex concentration of 10 mg mL-1 . The complexation of curcumin with PWPI significantly improved the storage stability of curcumin. Additionally, the PWPI-curcumin nanocomplexes showed significantly increased antioxidant capacity. CONCLUSION Phosphorylated walnut protein isolate showed greatly improved solubility and strong encapsulation ability, making it a promising nanocarrier for curcumin. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Starch presents as the major component of grain endosperm of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) and other cereals, serving as the main energy supplier for both plants and animals, as well as important industrial raw materials of human beings, and was intensively concerned world widely. However, few documents focused on the pathway and transcriptional regulations of starch biosynthesis in sorghum. Here we presented the RNA-sequencing profiles of 20 sorghum tissues at different developmental stages to dissect key genes associated with sorghum starch biosynthesis and potential transcriptional regulations. A total of 1,708 highly expressed genes were detected, namely, 416 in grains, 736 in inflorescence, 73 in the stalk, 215 in the root, and 268 genes in the leaf. Besides, 27 genes encoded key enzymes associated with starch biosynthesis in sorghum were identified, namely, six for ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), 10 for starch synthases (SSs), four for both starch-branching enzymes (SBE) and starch-debranching enzymes (DBEs), two for starch phosphorylases (SPs), and one for Brittle-1 (BT1). In addition, 65 transcription factors (TFs) that are highly expressed in endosperm were detected to co-express with 16 out of 27 genes, and 90 cis-elements were possessed by all 27 identified genes. Four NAC TFs were cloned, and the further assay results showed that three of them could in vitro bind to the CACGCAA motif within the promoters of SbBt1 and SbGBSSI, two key genes associated with starch biosynthesis in sorghum, functioning in similar ways that reported in other cereals. These results confirmed that sorghum starch biosynthesis might share the same or similar transcriptional regulations documented in other cereals, and provided informative references for further regulatory mechanism dissection of TFs involved in starch biosynthesis in sorghum.

Abstract
Sensitive quantification of protein biomarkers is highly desired for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Yet, unlike DNA/RNA which can be greatly amplified by PCR/RT-PCR, the amplification and detection of trace amount of proteins remain a great challenge. Here, we combined allosteric probe (AP) with magnetic bead (MB) for assembling an on-bead DNA synthesis system (named as APMB) to amplify protein signals. The AP is designed and conjugated onto the MB, enabling the protein biomarker to be separated and enriched. Once recognizing the biomarker, the AP alters its conformation to initiate DNA synthesis on beads for primary signal amplification. During the DNA synthesis, biotin-dATPs are incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA strands. Then, the biotin-labeled DNA specifically captures streptavidin (STR)–conjugated horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which is used to catalyze a colorimetric reaction for secondary signal amplification. By using carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a protein model, the APMB can quantify protein biomarkers of as low as 0.01 ng/mL. The response values measured by APMB are linearly related to the protein concentrations in the range 0.05 to 20 ng/mL. Clinical examination demonstrated good practicability of the APMB in quantifying serum protein biomarker. The on-bead DNA synthesis could be exploited to improve protein signal amplification, thus facilitating protein biomarker detection of low abundance for early diagnosis.

Abstract
Gliomas are characterized by high morbidity and mortality, and have only slightly increased survival with recent considerable improvements for treatment. An innovative therapeutic strategy had been developed via inducing ROS-dependent cell death by targeting antioxidant proteins. In this study, we found that glioma tissues expressed high levels of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). The expression of SOD1 was upregulated in glioma grade III and V tissues compared with that in normal brain tissues or glioma grade I tissues. U251 and U87 glioma cells expressed high levels of SOD1, low levels of SOD2 and very low levels of SOD3. LCS-1, an inhibitor of SOD1, increased the expression SOD1 at both mRNA and protein levels slightly but significantly. As expected, LCS-1 caused ROS production in a dose- and time-dependent manner. SOD1 inhibition also induced the gene expression of HO-1, GCLC, GCLM and NQO1 which are targeting genes of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, suggesting the activation of ROS signal pathway. Importantly, LCS-1 induced death of U251 and U87 cells dose- and time-dependently. The cell death was reversed by the pretreatment of cells with ROS scavenges NAC or GSH. Furthermore, LCS-1 decreased the growth of xenograft tumors formed by U87 glioma cells in nude mice. Mechanistically, the inhibition of P53, caspases did not reverse LCS-1-induced cell death, indicating the failure of these molecules involving in cell death. Moreover, we found that LCS-1 treatment induced the degradation of both PARP and BRCA1 simultaneously, suggesting that LCS-1-induced cell death may be associated with the failure of DNA damage repair. Taking together, these results suggest that the degradation of both PARP and BRCA1 may contribute to cell death induced by SOD1 inhibition, and SOD1 may be a target for glioma therapy.

Abstract
Cervical cancer has become one of the important factors threatening women's health. Histopathological diagnosis is the most important criterion for cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment. Accurate classification of lesion degree of cervical epithelium by analyzing whole slide images (WSIs) can effectively improve the therapeutic effect and prognosis. However, classification of cervical lesion degree shows poor reproductivity due to lack of standardisation and is subjective among clinicians. In addition, due to the lack of large-scale finely annotated datasets, current deep learning methods do not perform well on this task. In this paper, we propose a two-stage method based on unsupervised pre-training to solve this multi-classification task. Our method first applied a patch-level network to predict the patch-level score and generate a heatmap that can highlight the lesion area. This network is pre-trained using an unsupervised method and verified on a public dataset. Then without extracting manual features, heatmaps are fed into a convolutional neural network (CNN) model directly for the WSI-level prediction. Our approach achieved an accuracy of 81.19% and a custom metric score of 0.9495 on the public cervical cancer WSI dataset, which is the highest in the public so far.

Abstract
Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5 ), a component of atmospheric particulate matter, leads to changes in gene expression and cellular functions. Epidemiological evidence confirms that PM2.5 has a positive correlation with lung injury. However, the molecular mechanisms involved remain poorly understood, and preventive methods are needed. In the present study, with human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells in culture, we showed that low concentrations of PM2.5 resulted in acceleration of the G1/S transition and cell proliferation. Consistent with these effects, expression of the pro-inflammatory factor interleukin-6 (IL-6) was elevated in HBE cells exposed to PM2.5 . Accordingly, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was activated, which down-regulated expression of cyclin D1. In addition, PM2.5 exposure led to higher levels of miR-21, and there was a reciprocal loop between miR-21 and STAT3. For HBE cells, tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) reversed the PM2.5 -induced cell cycle alteration and cell proliferation, and reduced the expression of cytokines (IL-6, STAT3, and miR-21). These results show that, for HBE cells, Tan IIA attenuates the PM2.5 -induced G1/S alteration and cell proliferation, and indicate that it has potential clinical application for PM2.5 -induced respiratory injuries.

Abstract
It is necessary to study the combined toxicity of an herbicide and its safener because the two are often used in combination. S-metolachlor and its safener benoxacor have been detected in aquatic environments and can individually damage the oxidative stress system in zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio). However, only their separate toxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo development has been reported. This study assessed the combined toxicity of benoxacor and S-metolachlor in zebrafish embryo development, including acute toxicity, developmental toxicity, oxidative damage, and cell apoptosis. The 96-h LC50 values were higher in mixtures of benoxacor and S-metolachlor than in benoxacor alone. The treatments included S-metolachlor, Mix-1 (0.1 mg/L benoxacor + 0.1 mg/L S-metolachlor), Mix-2 (0.1 mg/L benoxacor + 0.3 mg/L S-metolachlor) and benoxacor alone. Embryos exposed to Mix-1 and Mix-2 had lower developmental toxicities, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, osx and cat expression levels than those exposed to benoxacor alone. Moreover, glutathione S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, and the expressions of tbx16, nrf2, bcl2, and caspase9 were higher in the mixtures than in the benoxacor group. High-throughput RNA sequencing revealed that benoxacor had a greater effect on gene regulation than Mix-1 and Mix-2. The malformation rate, different enrichment gene numbers, and gene expression levels of hatched embryos were higher in Mix-1 than in Mix-2. The results indicate that a mixture of S-metolachlor and benoxacor has antagonistic effects in the early stage of embryo development. The mixtures can break the reactive oxygen species balance, causing abnormal cell apoptosis and developmental malformation in embryos. Besides investigating the combined toxicity of benoxacor and S-metolachlor in zebrafish embryo development, this study provides a risk assessment basis for a herbicide combined with its safener.

Abstract
Electronic structure of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is critical for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis by adjusting the binding energy in oxygen-containing intermediates. However, the regulation of electronic structure has always been a challenge to improve catalytic reactivity. Herein, by introducing a heterogenous metal, the electronic structure through a direct bonding interaction to the active center atom is effectively adjusted. Partial charge transfer between the two atoms optimizes the binding energy of intermediates and reducing the energy barrier of the catalytic reaction. Theoretical calculations confirm these effects and the uniform distribution of 3d orbitals, leading to the improvement of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic reactivity. Benefiting from these attributes, the as-constructed bifunctional catalyst enables outstanding electrocatalytic performances in both oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation in various energy storage systems. The generality and expandability of this strategy is demonstrated by further successful development of other dual-metal catalysts systems with various active metals.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). We assessed the white matter microstructural integrity of the visual pathway in diabetes patients vs. healthy subjects, and investigated the advantages of generalized Q-sampling imaging (GQI) in the assessment of the visual pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS T1-weighted, T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and simultaneous multislice- diffusion sequences were acquired from 21 DR patients, 29 diabetes patients without DR (NDR group), and 28 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Diffusion source images were reconstructed to GQI. Region of interest (ROI)-based analysis was utilized to evaluate microstructural alterations in the visual pathway. Multivariate linear regression analysis (forward stepwise method) was performed to investigate associations between clinical data and mean GQI parameters. RESULTS ROI-based analyses indicated that the GQI parameters generalized fractional anisotropy, quantitative anisotropy (QA), and normalized QA (NQA) were significantly lower in the NDR group than in the healthy controls, and even lower in the DR group than in the NDR group. Disease duration was significantly and negatively correlated with mean generalized fractional anisotropy and mean NQA. CONCLUSION GQI could sensitively and non-invasively evaluate the visual pathway in diabetes patients. The nerve fibers of the visual pathway were damaged before the onset of retinopathy, and this damage was aggravated after retinopathy onset, as a consequence of long exposure to hyperglycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The independent component analysis (ICA) was applied to explore the correlation between clinical manifestation and the functional connectivity changes of the sensorimotor network (SMN) and left frontoparietal network (LFPN) in patients with acute thyrotoxic myopathy (ATM), which was expected to provide a functional imaging basis for the exploration of the pathophysiological mechanism of ATM. METHODS 13 ATM patients (ATM) and 12 non-ATM patients (nATM) who met the diagnostic and inclusion criteria were enrolled. Their resting-state brain function images were obtained with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). GIFT software was used for independent component analysis to obtain the brain regions with SMN and LFPN changes. The correlation between the functional connectivity of these brain regions and clinical indicators was calculated. RESULTS The SMN functional connectivity of ATM patients was increased at the posterior lobe of cerebellum, anterior lobe of cerebellum, right superior temporal gyrus, left cingulate gyrus, left precuneus, and left postcentral gyrus compared with that of nATM patients. However, it was decreased at the occipital lobe, right dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, paracentral lobule, angular gyrus, and superior parietal gyrus (FDR correction, P<0.05). The LFPN functional connectivity of ATM patients was increased at the posterior lobe of cerebellum, middle temporal gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus, and right cingulate gyrus compared with that of nATM patients; but was decreased at frontal lobe, parahippocampal gyrus, precentral gyrus and postcentral gyrus (FDR correction, P<0.05) Correlation analysis results showed that the enhancement of SMN functional connection at right superior temporal gyrus was significantly negatively correlated with the free thyroxine level, and the decrease of SMN functional connectivity at occipital lobe was significantly positively correlated to the thyroid stimulating hormone level. The SMN and LFPN functional connectivity changes in other brain regions were not found to be significantly correlated with thyroid function parameters. CONCLUSION The bulbar paralysis (such as dysphagia, dysarthria) in ATM patients may be related to the functional connectivity changes of resting-state SMN and LFPN. The fMRI is expected to be one of the objective imaging indicators for the early clinical intervention of ATM patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The success of COVID-19 vaccination programs relies on community attitudes, yet little is known about parents' views. We aimed to explore the reasons behind Australian parents' vaccine intentions for themselves and for their children. METHOD This mixed methods study relates to Wave 13 (January 2021) of a longitudinal study of Australian parents' experiences during COVID-19 and contained 1094 participants (83% mothers). We used multinomial logistic regression to understand demographic predictors of vaccine intention, and a descriptive template thematic analysis to analyse open-ended questions about parents' reasons for vaccine intentions for themselves and their children. RESULTS 64% of Australian parents intend on vaccination, 26% are unsure and 9% intend to decline; 48% intend to vaccinate their children, 38% are unsure, and 14% intend to decline. Relative to those intending to vaccinate, parents unsure (OR = -0.63, 95% CI: 0.46, -0.84, p = .002) or not intending (OR = -0.41, 95% CI: 0.24, 0.67 p < .001) to vaccinate were more likely to have lower trust in doctors. Similar predictors emerged for parents who did not intend to vaccinate their children (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.31, 0.70, p < .001). Qualitative data indicated that many parents had not made a firm decision, including a lack of alignment between intentions and reasons. For example, parents who said 'yes' to vaccination, often then expressed hesitance and a focus on risks in their written response. Reasons for hesitancy for themselves included concerns about testing, side effects, and long-term outcomes. Similar themes were present for children, but parents expressed a strong desire to protect their children, and an eagerness for health information. CONCLUSION Based on prior research and the themes identified here, a multipronged campaign that includes education/promotion, good access to vaccines and role models, is likely to support parents to make informed decisions regarding COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of decompressive craniectomy (DC) on the recovery of neurological function, daily living ability and life quality of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after surgery. METHODS Totally 290 patients with ICH admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively enrolled and assigned to two groups according to different surgical methods. Among them, 138 patients who received craniotomy evacuation of hematoma (CEH) only were assigned to a control group (Con group), while the other 152 who received CEH combined with DC to a research group (Res group). The two groups were compared in the total effective rate, hematoma clearance rate, and complication rate. Additionally, the ICP and MMP-9 levels after surgery, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), activities of daily living (ADL), Fugl-Meyer Assessment of motor function (FMA), Glasgow outcome scale (GOS), Glasgow coma scale (GCS), and MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores before and after surgery were also compared between the two groups. RESULTS After treatment, the Res group showed a notably higher total effective rate, hematoma clearance rate, and a notably lower complication rate than the Con group. On postoperative day 3 and 7, the Res group showed notably lower ICP than the Con group, and on postoperative day 7, the Res group showed a notably lower MMP-9 level as compared with the Con group. Additionally, 6 months after the surgery, the Res group got notably lower NIHSS scores and higher ADL, GOS, and SF-36 scores as compared with the Con group, and at 1 month after surgery, the Res group got notably higher FMA scores as compared to the Con group. Moreover, on postoperative day 7, the Res group got notably higher GCS scores than the Con group. CONCLUSION DC can improve the recovery of neurological function, daily living ability and life quality of patients with ICH after surgery.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries with high safety and cost effectiveness have received much attention for large-scale energy storage. However, the inevitable dendrite growth derived from uneven zinc stripping/plating severely impedes practical application. In this work, we use controllable electrodeposition to construct a continuous and compact ZIF-8 protective layer and investigate the relationship between the morphology of the deposition layer and the zinc plating behavior. A continuous and insulating protective layer with suitable thickness can induce bottom deposition, and a prolonged battery life of over 5000 cycles at 10 mA cm-2 for 1 mA h cm-2 is achieved.

Abstract
The large volume expansion of a silicon anode induces serious mechanical failure and limits its applications. Owing to the intrinsic weak van der Waals force and poor toughness, it is unable to solve this issue with the current commercial poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) binder. The development of a binder with strong binding strength with silicon (Si) is urgent. Herein, a hydroxyl-rich three-dimensional (3D) network binder is synthesized by chemical cross-linking reactions between epichlorohydrin (ECH) and sodium hyaluronate (SH), which exhibits dramatically enhanced toughness and cohesive properties. The Si anode with the novel SH-ECH as the binder delivers excellent electrochemical performance, especially cycling stability. The discharge capacity could maintain 800.4 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at a current of 0.2 C with the average capacity decay rate per cycle of 0.015%. Our results pave a new way for the tailoring of the chemical structures of natural polymers to realize lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with superior electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Trimethylamine (TMA) sensors based on metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have drawn great attention for real-time seafood quality evaluation. However, poor selectivity and baseline drift limit the practical applications of MOS TMA sensors. Engineering core@shell heterojunction structures with accumulation and depletion layers formed at the interface is regarded as an appealing way for enhanced gas sensing performances. Herein, we design porous hollow Co3O4@ZnO cages via a facile ZIF-67@ZIF-8-derived approach for TMA sensors. These sensors demonstrate great TMA resistive sensing performance (linear response at moderate TMA concentrations (<33 ppm)), and a high sensitivity of ∼41 is observed when exposed to 33 ppm TMA, with a response/recovery time of only 3/2 s. This superior performance benefits from the Co3O4@ZnO porous hollow structure with maximum heterojunctions and high surface area. Furthermore, great capacitive TMA sensing with linear sensitivity over the full testing concentration range (0.33-66 ppm) and better baseline stability were investigated. A possible capacitive sensing mechanism of TMA polarization was proposed. For practical usage, a portable sensing prototype based on the Co3O4@ZnO sensor was fabricated, and its satisfactory sensing behavior further confirms the potential for real-time TMA detection.

Abstract
The biggest obstacles of putting lithium-sulfur batteries into practice are the sluggish redox kinetics of polysulfides and serious "shuttle effect" under high sulfur mass loading and lean-electrolyte conditions. Herein, Fe3C/Fe3N@nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) as multifunctional sulfur hosts are designed to realize high-areal-capacity Li-S batteries. The Fe3N and Fe3C particles attached to NCNT can promote the conversion of polysulfides. Besides, NCNT can not only enhance the chemisorption of polysulfides but also increase the special surface area and electrical conductivity by constructing a three-dimensional skeleton network. Integrating the merits of high electrical conductivity, high catalytic activity, and strong chemical binding interaction with lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) to achieve in situ anchoring conversion, the Fe3C/Fe3N@NCNT multifunctional hosts realize high sulfur mass loading and accelerate redox kinetics. The novel Fe3C/Fe3N@NCNT/S composite cathode exhibits steady cycle ability and a high areal capacity of 9.10 mAh cm-2 with a sulfur loading of 13.12 mg cm-2 at 2.20 mA cm-2 after 50 cycles.

Abstract
The emerging and development of green chemistry has once again drawn the researchers' attention to eliminating the use and generation of hazardous materials. Here we report the use of a safe and effective fixative, chlorine dioxide (ClO2), instead of traditional hazardous fixatives for the cross-linking of cellular proteins to improve immunofluorescence staining of bacteria. The concentration of ClO2needed for 100% fixation is 50μg ml-1, which is much lower than that of traditional fixatives (1000-10000μg ml-1). The ClO2mediated cross-linking can preserve the integrity of bacterial cells and prevent cell loss through lysis. Meanwhile, lysozyme can permeabilize the bacterial cells, allowing the labelled antibodies to diffuse to their intracellular target molecules. By usingE. coliO157:H7/RP4 as a gram-negative bacteria model, immunofluorescence staining assays for both intracellular protein and surface polysaccharide were carried out to investigate the effect of ClO2fixation on the staining. The results demonstrated that ClO2fixation could prevent the target antigens from cracking off the bacteria without damage on the interaction between the antibodies and antigens (either for polysaccharide or protein). As a safe and effective fixative, ClO2has potential practical applications in immunofluorescence staining and fluorescencein situhybridization for single bacteria/cell analysis.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated the high efficiency through which nanostructured core-shell WO3/TiO2 (WT) heterojunctions can photocatalytically degrade model organic pollutants (stearic acid, QE ≈ 18% @ λ = 365 nm), and as such, has varied potential environmental and antimicrobial applications. The key motivation herein is to connect theoretical calculations of charge transport phenomena, with experimental measures of charge carrier behavior using transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS), to develop a fundamental understanding of how such WT heterojunctions achieve high photocatalytic efficiency (in comparison to standalone WO3 and TiO2 photocatalysts). This work reveals an order of magnitude enhancement in electron and hole recombination lifetimes, respectively located in the TiO2 and WO3 sides, when an optimally designed WT heterojunction photocatalyst operates under UV excitation. This observation is further supported by our computationally captured details of conduction band and valence band processes, identified as (i) dominant electron transfer from WO3 to TiO2 via the diffusion of excess electrons; and (ii) dominant hole transfer from TiO2 to WO3 via thermionic emission over the valence band edge. Simultaneously, our combined theoretical and experimental study offers a time-resolved understanding of what occurs on the micro- to milliseconds (μs-ms) time scale in this archetypical photocatalytic heterojunction. At the microsecond time scale, a portion of the accumulated holes in WO3 contribute to the depopulation of W5+ polaronic states, whereas the remaining accumulated holes in WO3 are separated from adjacent electrons in TiO2 up to 3 ms after photoexcitation. The presence of these exceptionally long-lived photogenerated carriers, dynamically separated by the WT heterojunction, is the origin of the superior photocatalytic efficiency displayed by this system (in the degradation of stearic acid). Consequently, our combined computational and experimental approach delivers a robust understanding of the direction of charge separation along with critical time-resolved insights into the evolution of charge transport phenomena in this model heterojunction photocatalyst.
