Abstract
Utilizing the manipulation of perovskite dimensions has been proven as an effective approach in regulating perovskite properties. Nevertheless, achieving precise control over the dimensions of perovskites within the same system poses a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a sophisticated method to attain precise dimensional control in metal-free perovskites (MFPs), specifically through the process of octahedron tailoring by compositional engineering. Accordingly, we successfully instigated a transition from HPIP-NH4I3⋅H2O (3D), HPIP2-NH4I5 (2D) and HPIP3-NH4I7 (1D) structures. Notably, HPIP2-NH4I5 is the first 2D MFP. As anticipated, these perovskites exhibited completely distinct fluorescence and X-ray detection capabilities due to their differing dimensions. Remarkably, the 2D HPIP2-NH4I5 device effectively hindered ion migration perpendicular to the 2D layers, achieving the lowest detection limit of 12.2 nGyairs-1 among metal-free single crystals-based detectors. This study expands the dimensionality control strategies for MFPs and introduces, for the first time, the potential of 2D MFPs as high-performance X-ray detectors, thereby enriching the diversity of the MFPs family.

Abstract
Polar molecular crystals, with their densely stacked polar nonlinear optical (NLO) active units, are favored for their large second harmonic generation (SHG) responses and birefringence. However, their potential for practical applications as Infrared (IR) NLO materials has historically been underappreciated due to the weak inter-molecular interaction forces that may compromise their physicochemical properties. In this study, we propose molecular crystals with polar molecular cages as a treasure-house for the development of superior IR NLO materials and a representative system, binary chalcogenide molecular crystals, composed of [P4 Sn ] (n=3-9) polar molecular cages, is introduced. These crystals may not only achieve wide band gap, large SHG response, and birefringence in a single structure, but also exhibit favorable physicochemical properties. We subsequently obtained a polar molecular crystal, α-P4 S5 , which demonstrated exceptional IR optical properties, including a strong SHG response (1.1×AGS), wide band gap (3.02 eV), large birefringence (0.134@2050 nm), and a broad transmission range (0.41-14.7 μm). Moreover, it showed excellent water resistance and hardness. These findings highlight the potential of polar molecular crystals as a promising platform for the development of high-performance IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Germanate is garnering increasing attention in the field of optoelectronics owing to its competitive optical transparency and robust stability. Herein, a novel lithium-rich rare-earth germanate, Li13YGe4O16, was fabricated for the first time using a high-temperature solution approach. This compound adopts the asymmetric space group Cmc21 (no. 36), characterized by isolated [YO6] and [GeO4] structural motifs with Li+ cations located in the channel. Notably, Li13YGe4O16 presents a short ultraviolet cutoff edge at 240 nm, indicative of an enlarged band gap of 4.96 eV and showcases a wide mid-infrared transmission region exceeding 6.0 μm. Moreover, Li13YGe4O16 features exceptional thermal stability and moderate second harmonic generation (SHG) intensity. Additionally, a theoretical analysis suggests that the distorted [YO6] octahedra. [GeO4] and [LiO4] tetrahedra play a significant role in the optical activities of Li13YGe4O16. These attributes endow Li13YGe4O16 with the potential to serve as a new mid-IR nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal and enrich the structural chemistry of germanates.

Abstract
A sustainable C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-electrophile coupling was developed between readily available 5-bromophthalide and 1-benzyl-4-iodopiperidine under micellar conditions, leading to a key intermediate of one of our development compounds. Copper was found to play a crucial role as a co-catalyst in this dual catalysis system. The chemistry and process were successfully demonstrated in a kilo scale to deliver sufficient drug substance to the clinical campaigns. This is the first reported scale-up of such a challenging cross-electrophilic coupling that uses an aqueous medium, and not undesirable reprotoxic polar aprotic solvents (e.g. DMF, DMAc, and NMP).

Abstract
Germanate oxides have garnered considerable interest owing to their diverse structural configuration and intriguing properties. Herein, we present a novel niobium germanate crystal, Rb8Nb10Ge6O41, extracted through the process of spontaneous crystallization. It showcases a unique three-dimensional (3D) structural framework composed of one-dimensional (1D) twisted [Nb7O30]∞ chains and isolated [Ge3O9] rings, arising from the divergent polymerized manifestations of [NbO6] and [GeO4] basic building blocks, respectively, marking the first instance of such a topography in germanate materials. Notably, the title compound exhibits exceptional thermal stability up to 1250 °C with a good congruent melting nature. Moreover, it achieves a short ultraviolet edge at 306 nm and a favorable infrared edge cutoff exceeding 6.2 μm, thus indicating a wide transparency window. Additionally, this study elucidates the microscopic birefringence of Rb8Nb10Ge6O41 and clarifies the intricate relationship between its structure and properties. Our findings suggest that the polymerization of distinct structural motifs within a single compound is an effective strategy for exploring novel inorganic materials.

Abstract
Borate materials are of significant interest due to their versatile structural configuration and competitive ultraviolet (UV) transparency range. In this study, we present a novel rare-earth borate crystal, KNa2Lu(BO3)2, synthesized for the first time through a facile spontaneous crystallization method. It adopts the centrosymmetric space group Pnma (no. 62) and yields a unique three-dimensional (3D) structural network formed by isolated [BO3] plane triangles and distorted [LuO7] polyhedra. This compound displays excellent thermal stability up to ∼990 °C, demonstrating a favorable congruent melting nature. Moreover, KNa2Lu(BO3)2 achieves a notably short UV absorption cutoff at approximately 204 nm, yielding a large band gap of 5.58 eV. Remarkably, it showcases an enlarged birefringence of 0.044 at 1064 nm, implying its potential as a birefringent material. Moreover, density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the optical characteristics are predominantly influenced by fundamental building blocks [BO3] triangles and distorted [LuO7] polyhedra. Our findings demonstrate the potential of KNa2Lu(BO3)2 in the development of a birefringent candidate and enrich the structural chemistry of rare-earth-based borates.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Cardiac injury plays a critical role in contributing to the mortality associated with sepsis, a condition marked by various forms of programmed cell deaths. Previous studies hinted at the WW domain-containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (WWP2) involving in heart failure and endothelial injury. However, the precise implications of WWP2 in sepsis-induced cardiac injury, along with the underlying mechanisms, remain enigmatic. Methods Sepsis induced cardiac injury were constructed by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide. To discover the function of WWP2 during this process, we designed and performed loss/gain-of-function studies with cardiac-specific vectors and WWP2 knockout mice. Combination experiments were performed to investigate the relationship between WWP2 and downstream signaling in septic myocardium injury. Results The protein level of WWP2 was downregulated in cardiomyocytes during sepsis. Cardiac-specific overexpression of WWP2 protected heart from sepsis induced mitochondrial oxidative stress, programmed cell death and cardiac injury, while knockdown or knockout of WWP2 exacerbated this process. The protective potency of WWP2 was predominantly linked to its ability to suppress cardiomyocyte ferroptosis rather than apoptosis. Mechanistically, our study revealed a direct interaction between WWP2 and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (FACL4), through which WWP2 facilitated the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of FACL4. Notably, we observed a notable reduction in ferroptosis and cardiac injury within WWP2 knockout mice after FACL4 knockdown during sepsis. Conclusions WWP2 assumes a critical role in safeguarding the heart against injury induced by sepsis via regulating FACL4 to inhibit LPS-induced cardiomyocytes ferroptosis.

Abstract
Acquiring high-performance ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials that simultaneously exhibit a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients, as short as possible SHG phase-matching (PM) wavelength and non-hygroscopic properties has consistently posed a significant challenge. Herein, through multicomponent modification of KBe2 BO3 F2 (KBBF), an excellent UV NLO crystal, Mg(C3 O4 H2 )(H2 O)2 , was successfully synthesized in malonic system. This material possesses a unique 2D NLO-favorable electroneutral [Mg(C3 O4 H2 )3 (H2 O)2 ]∞ layer, resulting in the rare coexistence of a strong SHG response of 3×KDP (@1064 nm) and short PM wavelength of 200 nm. More importantly, it exhibits exceptional water resistance, which is rare among ionic organic NLO crystals. Theoretical calculations revealed that its excellent water-resistant may be originated from its small available cavity volumes, which is similar to the famous LiB3 O5 (LBO). Therefore, excellent NLO properties and stability against air and moisture indicate it should be a promising UV NLO crystal.

Abstract
The identification and function determination of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can help to better understand the transcriptional regulation in both normal development and disease pathology, thereby demanding methods to distinguish them from protein-coding (pcRNAs) after obtaining sequencing data. Many algorithms based on the statistical, structural, physical, and chemical properties of the sequences have been developed for evaluating the coding potential of RNA to distinguish them. In order to design common features that do not rely on hyperparameter tuning and optimization and are evaluated accurately, we designed a series of features from the effects of open reading frames (ORFs) on their mutual interactions and with the electrical intensity of sequence sites to further improve the screening accuracy. Finally, the single model constructed from our designed features meets the strong classifier criteria, where the accuracy is between 82% and 89%, and the prediction accuracy of the model constructed after combining the auxiliary features equal to or exceed some best classification tools. Moreover, our method does not require special hyper-parameter tuning operations and is species insensitive compared to other methods, which means this method can be easily applied to a wide range of species. Also, we find some correlations between the features, which provides some reference for follow-up studies.

Interestingly, the rich coordination environment of Hg atoms and the size difference of alkali metal cations lead to diverse arrangement of SeO3 groups, which makes them exhibit different birefringence. The band gaps of the three compounds indicate that they are potential ultraviolet (UV) optical materials. Detailed theoretical calculations demonstrate that the combined effects of SeO3 triangular pyramids and Hg-O polyhedra are responsible for the optical characteristics of the reported compounds.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting, a crucial reaction for renewable energy storage, demands highly efficient and stable catalysts. Defect and interface engineering has been widely acknowledged to play a pivotal role in improving electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy to construct sulfur vacancy (Sv)-engineered Co3S4/MoS2-interfaced nanosheet arrays to modulate the interface electronic structure in situ reduction with NaBH4. The abundant sulfur vacancies and well-arranged nanosheet arrays in Sv-Co3S4/MoS2 lead to pronounced electrocatalytic properties for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) in an alkaline medium, with observed overpotentials of 156 and 209 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Additionally, as a bifunctional electrocatalyst, Sv-Co3S4/MoS2 requires a cell voltage of 1.67 V at 10 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting and exhibits long-term stability with activity sustained for more than 20 h. This study provides a novel approach to producing transition metal compound-interfaced electrocatalysts with rich vacancies under mild conditions, showcasing their potential for efficient water splitting applications.

Abstract
ConspectusThe invention of the laser is a pivotal milestone in the evolution of modern science and technology. Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, which possess the ability to convert frequencies, have found widespread applications in laser science, information transmission, industrial Internet, and other cutting-edge fields within materials and optics. As modern science and technology continue to advance at a rapid pace, existing ultraviolet (UV) and deep ultraviolet (DUV) NLO crystals struggle to meet the ever-growing demands of various applications. Consequently, the development of novel UV and DUV NLO crystals has become an urgent necessity. For a UV NLO crystal to be considered outstanding in the UV/DUV range, it must exhibit three fundamental yet crucial properties: large second-order NLO coefficients, suitable birefringence, and short UV cutoff edge corresponding to a wide band gap. However, these key factors often conflict with one another, making it challenging to achieve a harmonious balance within a single crystal. It is widely believed that these mutually constrained optical properties are codetermined by microscopic NLO-active units and macroscopic structure features. Therefore, how to design high performance UV NLO-active groups to balance these three key properties is an essential scientifically question and serious challenge. In this Account, we present three strategies for designing high-performance UV NLO-active groups: (1) The "tetrahedron partial substitution" strategy by employing various substituents to replace one or more atoms in the traditional nonpolar tetrahedral groups, might achieve the aim of increasing the polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability of the newly formed polar tetrahedral functional groups, such as from SO4 to SO3NH2 or SO3CH3 groups. (2) The "structure-analogue" strategy to develop a range of organic functional groups exhibiting more strong polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability by using inorganic π-conjugated groups, such as BO3 and B3O6 groups, as templates. (3) The "two in one" strategy for integrating groups featuring planar triangle configurations and tetrahedrons to create NLO-active functional groups possessing large band gaps, strong hyperpolarizability, and moderate polarizability anisotropy. These three strategies successfully guide us to design and explore various kinds of organic-inorganic composite NLO crystal materials with excellent performances, like Ba(SO3CH3)2, M(SO3NH2)2 (M = Sr, Ba), C(NH2)3SO3F, KLi(HC3N3O3)·2H2O, KLi(C3H2O4)·H2O, and so on. Finally, we briefly conclude these strategies and propose some prospects for exploring new excellent UV/DUV NLO materials with practical applications. These findings could inspire novel thoughts for researchers designing new UV/DUV NLO materials and providing abundant materials used in UV/DUV regions.

Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) response and birefringence stand as fundamental optical properties for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Up to now, engineering a strong SHG response and substantial birefringence in the sulfamate system has proven to be exceedingly challenging. A novel noncentrosymmetric compound, Sr(NH2SO3)(NO3)·H2O, has been meticulously designed by introducing the (NO3)- group characterized by significant polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability into the polar non-π-conjugated (NH2SO3)- system. This compound exhibits a robust SHG response (5.2 × KDP), ample birefringence (0.077 at 546.1 nm), and a short ultraviolet (UV) absorption edge (290 nm). The linear and nonlinear optical properties can be attributed to the (NO3)- group and the (NH2SO3)- group. This study presents an effective approach that contributes to the design of more composite anionic UV NLO materials with excellent and balanced optical properties.

Abstract
Borate materials continue to command considerable attention due to their remarkable capacity for applications in deep ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. Herein, two new metal borates KSrM3B2O9 (M = Al and Ga) were extracted via the application of flux techniques. These two crystals adopt a centrosymmetric space group P21/c (no. 14), showcasing a layered structural configuration composed of isolated [BO3] plane triangles and [AlO4]/[GaO4] tetrahedra. Thermal analysis revealed that KSrM3B2O9 (M = Al and Ga) exhibits an incongruent nature and possesses good thermal stability up to 1083 and 983 °C, respectively. Notably, these compounds display a short UV-transmission cutoff edge, approximately around 194 and 200 nm, accompanied by band gaps of 5.47 and 4.83 eV, respectively. Furthermore, KSrM3B2O9 (M = Al and Ga) demonstrates a moderate optical birefringence of 0.026 and 0.025, respectively. Additionally, first-principles calculations were employed to shed light on the intricate interplay between the structure and properties of these compounds.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have aroused increasing interest owing to their promising applications in optoelectronic technologies. Herein, we present the synthesis of an acentric niobium tellurite crystal, Nb2Te3O11, extracted via a spontaneous crystallization approach. It adopts a unique three-dimensional (3D) structure constructed by the distorted [TeO3], [TeO4], and [NbO6] fundamental building units. The title compound undergoes incongruent melting at approximately 807 °C. Optical characterizations demonstrate that Nb2Te3O11 possesses an extended transparency window beyond 5 μm, along with a large band gap value of 3.1 eV. Moreover, the as-synthesized Nb2Te3O11 displays an appreciable second-harmonic generation (SHG) response of 2 × KDP and a notable birefringence of 0.11 under 1064 nm for achieving phase-matching. In addition, theoretical calculation investigations suggest that the intriguing optical properties are ascribed to the cooperative effect of three types of NLO-active motifs: [TeO3] pyramids, [TeO4] seesaws, and [NbO6] octahedra. These attributes provide new functional insights into Nb2Te3O11 and enrich the family of NLO crystals in the mid-infrared region.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals capable of efficient long-wave infrared (8-14 μm) laser output remain scarce, and the exploration of long-wave IR NLO materials with superior comprehensive optical performances is a momentous challenge. Herein, we develop two selenide-halide NLO crystals, Hg3AsSe4Br and Hg3AsSe4I, which are derived from the honeycomb layered topology of prototype GaSe. Remarkably, they exhibit not only strong SHG effects, suitable band gap, large birefringence, broad IR transparency range and low two-photon absorption coefficients but reinforced interlayer interaction and more benign crystal growth habit, compared to those of GaSe, indicating that they are promising long-wave IR NLO materials. Moreover, Hg3AsSe4I achieved better comprehensive optical properties than conventional IR crystals, GaSe, ZnGeP2, CdSe and AgGaSe2. The idea of honeycomb layered topology construction provides a material design heuristic to explore cutting-edge IR NLO materials.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely studied for their important biological significance. In general, we need to distinguish them from protein coding RNAs (pcRNAs) with similar functions. Based on various strategies, algorithms and tools have been designed and developed to train and validate such classification capabilities. However, many of them lack certain scalability, versatility, and rely heavily on genome annotation. In this paper, we design a convenient and biologically meaningful classification tool "Prelnc2" using multi-scale position and frequency information of wavelet transform spectrum and generalizes the frequency statistics method. Finally, we used the extracted features and auxiliary features together to train the model and verify it with test data. PreLnc2 achieved 93.2% accuracy for animal and plant transcripts, outperforming PreLnc by 2.1% improvement and our method provides an effective alternative to the prediction of lncRNAs.

Abstract
A novel mercury selenite sulfate named Hg3(SeO3)2(SO4) has been successfully synthesized under a mild hydrothermal method. Hg3(SeO3)2(SO4) crystallizes in a monoclinic space group P21 and features a unique three-dimensional (3D) frame structure formed by [Hg6O8(SeO3)4]∞ layers and SO4 tetrahedra, which enables it to exhibit a comprehensive performance of a moderate second-harmonic generation (SHG) response of approximately 1.3 times that of baseline KH2PO4 (KDP), a moderate birefringence (0.118@546 nm), and a wide band gap (4.70 eV), which indicates that it has potential for application as an ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical material. Detailed theoretical calculations show that the Hg2+-based polyhedra with large polarizability and deformability and the SeO3 groups with stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP) electrons are the main contributors to moderate optical properties.

Abstract
Ionic organic crystals containing organic planar π-conjugated units has become one of the hot spots as nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, although this type of ionic organic NLO crystals commonly have remarkable second harmonic generation (SHG) responses, they also suffer from overlarge birefringences and relatively small band gaps that be hardly beyond 6.2 eV. Herein, a flexible π-conjugated [C3H(CH3)O4]2- unit was theoretically revealed, showing great potential for designing NLO crystals with balanced optical properties. Accordingly, through the reasonable NLO-favourable layered design, a new ionic organic material, NH4[LiC3H(CH3)O4], was successfully obtained. As expected, it achieves not only a large SHG effect (4×KDP), but also a suitable birefringence (0.06@546 nm) and an ultrawide band gap (>6.5 eV). This study provides a new flexible π-conjugated NLO-active unit, contributing to design more ionic organic NLO materials with excellent balanced optical properties.

Abstract
The design of giant birefringence was performed by adjusting cations to make parallel and compact alignments of π-conjugated (HxC3N3S3)x-3, where x = 1 and 2) groups with large polarizability anisotropy. Finally, the first mixed alkali/alkali-earth-metal trithiocyanurates, A2B(H2C3N3S3)4·nH2O (A = K, Rb, Cs; B = Mg, Sr; n = 5-8, 12), were designed and synthesized successfully. Importantly, Cs2Mg(H2C3N3S3)4·8H2O (III) and K2Sr(H2C3N3S3)4·5H2O (IV) possess large birefringences of 0.580 and 0.194 at 800 nm, respectively, of III has the largest birefringence among all practical birefringent crystals, cyanurates, and hydroisocyanurates.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the stress distribution and microgap formation in implant assemblies with conical abutments made of different materials under an oblique load. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mechanical behavior of an implant assembly with a titanium abutment was analyzed and compared with that of an assembly with a Y-TZP abutment using finite element analysis (FEA). A torque of 20 Ncm was first applied to the abutment screw, followed by oblique loads of 10 N-280 N applied to the prosthesis placed on the implant. The maximum stress in the abutment screw, the microgap formation process, and the critical load for bridging the internal implant space were evaluated. RESULTS No significant difference in stress distribution between the two cases was observed, with the stresses being mainly concentrated at the top half of the screw (the predicted maximum von Mises stress was approximately 1200 MPa at 280 N). The area in contact at the implant-to-abutment interface decreased with increasing load for both abutments, with the critical load for bridging the internal implant space being roughly 140 N. The maximum gap size being was approximately 470 μm with either abutment. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in the stress distribution or microgap formed between implant assemblies with titanium and Y-TZP abutments having an internal conical connection.

Abstract
Inorganic adducts are an emerging class of infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, although the reported NLO adducts have sufficient birefringences and significant laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs), they commonly suffer from weak second harmonic generation (SHG) responses. In this work, a series of polar phosphorus chalcogenide cage molecules with strong hyperpolarizabilities were theoretically screened out to enhance the SHG responses of adducts. Accordingly, (CuI)3 (P4 S4 ), (CuI)3 (P4 Se4 ), (CuBr)7 (P4 S3 )3 and (CuBr)7 (P4 Se3 )3 with target polar cage molecules were successfully synthesized. As expected, they exhibit enhanced SHG responses while keeping moderate birefringences and high LIDTs. Notably, (CuBr)7 (P4 Se3 )3 possesses the largest SHG response (3.5×AGS@2.05 μm) among the known inorganic NLO adducts. Our study confirms that introducing NLO-active cage molecules into adducts is an efficient strategy for high-performance NLO materials.

Abstract
Identifying risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) and evaluating their impact are essential to avoid the occurrence of adverse events. However, few studies to date have explored the prevalence, risk factors, and prognosis of AF in hypertensive patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of AF in a hypertensive population and determine the relationship between AF and all-cause mortality. At baseline, a total of 8541 Chinese patients with hypertension were enrolled from the Northeast Rural Cardiovascular Health Study. A logistic regression model was established to assess the relationship between blood pressure and AF, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis and multivariate Cox regression were used to explore the relationship between AF and all-cause mortality. Meanwhile, subgroup analyses illustrated the robustness of results. This study found that the overall prevalence rate of AF was 1.4% in its Chinese hypertensive population. After adjusting for the confounding factors, every standard deviation increase in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was associated with a 37% increase in the prevalence of AF (95% confidence interval: 1.152-1.627, p < .001). Compared to hypertensive patients without AF, those with AF had an increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio = 1.866, 95% confidence interval: 1.117-3.115, p = .017) in the adjusted model. The results show that the burden of AF is quite large in rural-dwelling Chinese hypertensive patients. Focusing on the control of DBP to prevent the occurrence of AF can be helpful. Meanwhile, AF increases risk of all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients. Our results indicated a huge burden of AF. Considering that most of the risk factors of AF were unmodifiable in hypertensive individuals and given their high risk of mortality, long-term interventions, including AF education, timely screening, and widespread use of anticoagulant drugs, should be emphasized in hypertensive populations.

Abstract
We herein report two asymmetric germanate crystals, KNbGe3 O9 and K3 Nb3 Ge2 O13 , with different structures and optical properties derived from divergent polymerized forms of GeO4 and NbO6 groups. Remarkably, K3 Nb3 Ge2 O13 achieved a rare combination of the strongest second harmonic generation (SHG) response of 17.5×KDP @ 1064 nm and the largest birefringence of 0.196 @ 546 nm in germanates. It features unique [Nb3 O12 ]∞ tubular chains constructed by circular Nb3 O15 tripolymers. Theoretical calculations reveal that the d-p interactions in the Nb3 O15 group are responsible for outstanding optical properties. This work emphasizes the significance of the polymerizable functional units in obtaining high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of different types of heart failure on long-term renal prognosis in patients with renal insufficiency and heart failure. Methods: The patients with renal insufficiency [baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1] and heart failure followed-up for more than 2 years and hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. The patients were divided into three groups based on the baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, LVEF < 40%) group, heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF, 40% ≤ LVEF < 50%) group, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, LVEF ≥ 50%) group. Clinical data were collected and endpoint events (adverse renal outcome: the composite outcome of all-cause death or worsening renal function) were recorded through the electronic medical record system. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the incidence of endpoint events of different heart failure subgroups. Cox regression model was performed to analyze the risk factors of endpoint events. Results: A total of 228 patients with renal insufficiency complicated with heart failure were included, with age of (68.14±14.21) years old and 138 males (60.5%). There were 85 patients (37.3%) in the HFrEF group, 40 patients (17.5%) in the HFmrEF group, and 103 patients (45.2%) in the HFpEF group. There were statistically significant differences in age, proportion of age > 65 years old, sex distribution, systolic blood pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, serum sodium, serum calcium, hemoglobin, serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum uric acid, troponin I, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, LVEF, ventricular septal thickness, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, B-type natriuretic peptide, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proportions of using beta blockers, using spirolactone, myocardial infarction, hypertension, cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation (all P < 0.05). During the median follow-up of 36.0 (28.0, 46.0) months, 73 patients (32.0%) had adverse renal outcomes. The total incidences of adverse renal outcomes were 32.9% (28/85) in the HFrEF group, 35.0% (14/40) in the HFmrEF group, and 30.1% (31/103) in the HFpEF group. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of endpoint events among the three groups (log-rank test χ2=0.17, P=0.680). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that HFpEF (HFrEF as reference, HR=2.430, 95% CI 1.055-5.596, P=0.037) was an independent influencing factor of endpoint events. Conclusions: The long-term renal prognosis of patients with renal insufficiency and heart failure is poor. Compared with HFrEF, HFpEF is an independent risk factor of poor long-term renal prognosis in renal insufficiency patients with heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to clarify the role and mechanism by which Cathepsin D (CTSD) mediates the advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS We conducted a Western blotting assay and co-immunoprecipitation assay to detect the expression of target proteins and the interaction between different proteins. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and 5- ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) were used to evaluate the proliferation. RESULTS AGEs significantly promoted phenotypic switching and proliferation of VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect of AGEs was accompanied by inhibition of CTSD. Both the proliferation of VSMCs and inhibition of CTSD induced by AGEs could be attenuated by the specific inhibitor of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), FPS-ZM1. Overexpression of CTSD significantly alleviated these effects of AGEs on VSMCs. The mechanism of CTSD action in VSMCs was also explored. Overexpression of CTSD reduced the activation of p-ERK caused by AGEs. By contrast, the knockdown of CTSD, elicited using a plasmid containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against CTSD, further increased the activation of p-ERK compared to AGEs alone. Additionally, co-immunoprecipitation studies revealed an endogenous interaction between CTSD, a protease, and p-ERK, its potential substrate. CONCLUSION It has been demonstrated that CTSD downregulates the level of phosphorylated ERK by degrading its target, and this interaction plays a critical role in the proliferation of VSMCs induced by the AGE/RAGE axis. These results provide a novel insight into the prevention and treatment of vascular complications in diabetes.

Abstract
Searching on the functional building units with ultrawide band gaps, large hyperpolarizabilities, and strong anisotropies is the key to finding new deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials. In this study, the polar covalent tetrahedral unit [SO3(OH)]- is studied by theoretical calculation and its excellent DUV optical properties are revealed. Moreover, we thoroughly investigate the known bisulfates, finding a promising DUV NLO crystal, NaHSO4·H2O. It exhibits a large second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response of 1.5 times that of KH2PO4 and a short cutoff edge (shorter than 190 nm). Meanwhile, it has the largest birefringence of 0.042 at 546 nm among the DUV NLO sulfates. Our study suggests that bisulfates should be fresh and ideal DUV NLO candidates.

Abstract
Studies on new functional structural units with both large hyperpolarizability and high anisotropy are essentially important for finding high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) materials and enriching the material systems. Under the guidance of the "structure-analogue" strategy, the work utilizes the molecular engineering approach to direct the construction of target units, BC2N5O2 and B(C2N5)2 units. The BC2N5O2 unit with a highly analogous structure to the B3O7 group and its derivate B(C2N5)2 unit with a configuration of B5O10 group are designed as NLO-active units. Furthermore, two compounds with these new NLO-active units, BC2N5H6(OH)2·H2O (I) and B(C2N5H6.5)2(NO3)2 (II), are synthesized, successfully. These compounds exhibit excellent properties with second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses ranging from 0.5 to 5.9 times that of KDP and large birefringence (ΔnI = 0.181 @ 546.1 nm and ΔnII = 0.148 @ 546.1 nm). Theoretical calculations prove that the BC2N5O2 and B(C2N5)2 units make great contributions to the SHG effects and birefringence, which confirms that the BC2N5O2 and B(C2N5)2 units are novel NLO bifunctional units and could be excellent fundamental building blocks to construct amounts of novel NLO and birefringence crystals. Our studies would enlighten the research studies on biguanide complexes of boron.

Abstract
Accurate and up-to-date land cover maps inform and support effective management and policy decisions. Describing phenological changes in spectral response using time-series data may help to distinguish vegetation types, thereby allowing for more specificity within vegetation classification. In this research, we test this by classifying indigenous forest vegetation in New Zealand, using PlanetScope (PS) and Sentinel-2 (S-2) satellite time-series data. The study was undertaken in a podocarp forest in New Zealand's central north island, which was classified into nine land cover classes. Phenological features, based on S-2 imagery, were extracted, including the enhanced vegetation index (EVI), enhanced vegetation index 2 (EVI2) and normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI). Google Earth Engine (GEE) harmonic analysis and TIMESAT double logistic fitting function were used to extract phenological features. Pixel-based classifications were performed using a Neural Network on six different scenarios. The accuracy of the classification scenarios was determined and the importance score for each feature was evaluated. Using only the fused PS and S-2 bands, the land cover in the study area was classified with 90.1% accuracy. Adding phenological features increased the classification accuracy to 93.1%. When combined with VIs, texture features, and a digital terrain model, the addition of phenological features increased the classification accuracy to 96.6%. Including GEE-generated phenological features resulted in better classification accuracies than TIMESAT features. In terms of feature importance evaluation, EVI2- and NDVI-generated phenological features all had high scores; the effectiveness of EVI features could potentially have been limited by the quality of the blue band. The results demonstrate that it is possible to produce a more accurate classification of New Zealand's native vegetation by using phenological features. This method offers important cost-savings as the platforms for phenological analysis are free to use.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have recently aroused great interest owing to their capability of frequency conversion in solid-state lasers. Herein, we report an acentric zinc germanate K2ZnGe2O6 obtained successfully through spontaneous crystallization methods. It affords a novel three-dimensional (3D) framework comprised of [GeO4] and [ZnO4] motifs with K atoms located in the tunnels. K2ZnGe2O6 displays a moderate second-harmonic-generation (SHG) intensity (0.73 × KDP) with phase-matchable behavior. Optical characterization demonstrated that it has a UV cutoff edge located at 368 nm with a large energy band of 3.23 eV, accompanied by a wide transmission window, covering a 3-5 μm atmospheric window. Moreover, thermal properties implied that it possesses intriguing thermal stability of 987 °C and a congruent melting nature. Additionally, first-principles calculations unveiled that the NLO performance was primarily attributed to the collective effect of [GeO4] and [ZnO4] building units. These findings indicate that K2ZnGe2O6 is a potential NLO crystal.

Abstract
Mitochondria, inherited maternally, are energy metabolism organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power cellular various biochemical reactions. Deciphering mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is important for elucidating vital activities of species. The complete chloroplast (cp) and nuclear genome sequences of Populus simonii (P. simonii) have been reported, but there has been little progress in its mitogenome. Here, we assemble the complete P. simonii mitogenome into three circular-mapping molecules (lengths 312.5, 283, and 186 kb) with the total length of 781.5 kb. All three molecules of the P. simonii mitogenome had protein-coding capability. Whole-genome alignment analyses of four Populus species revealed the fission of poplar mitogenome in P. simonii. Comparative repeat analyses of four Populus mitogenomes showed that there were no repeats longer than 350 bp in Populus mitogenomes, contributing to the stability of genome sizes and gene contents in the genus Populus. As the first reported multi-circular mitogenome in Populus, this study of P. simonii mitogenome are imperative for better elucidating their biological functions, replication and recombination mechanisms, and their unique evolutionary trajectories in Populus.

Abstract
Molybdate oxide materials have attracted considerable academic interest owing to their multifunctional optoelectronic properties and applications. However, to date, studies on the intrinsic properties of multiple molybdates have rarely been implemented. Herein, a prospective triple molybdate crystal, Rb3LiZn2(MoO4)4, with high crystalline quality was successfully grown using top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) approaches. Intriguingly, it affords a cage-like structure with the I4̅3d space group, analogous to that of Ca12Al14O33 (C12A7). The Rb3LiZn2(MoO4)4 crystal exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 603 °C, accompanied by a congruent melting nature. Simultaneously, it preserves the optical merits of a large band gap of 4.10 eV and a wide transmission window of 0.29-5.4 μm, which are superior to those of most molybdate crystals. More importantly, Raman spectroscopic measurements demonstrated that the title compound possesses an intense Raman shift located at 925 cm-1 and narrow line width, facilitating a stimulated Raman laser. In addition, first-principles calculations were also implemented to elucidate the structure-property relationships of Rb3LiZn2(MoO4)4. These observations provide an empirical platform for intuitively comprehending the underlying properties of multiple molybdates and pave the way for exploiting Raman crystals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension is high and increasing in low-income and middle-income countries. We tested the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention for blood pressure control in rural China led by village doctors (community health workers on the front line of primary health care). METHODS In this open, cluster randomised trial (China Rural Hypertension Control Project), 326 villages that had a regular village doctor and participated in the China New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme were randomly assigned (1:1) to either village doctor-led multifaceted intervention or enhanced usual care (control), with stratification by provinces, counties, and townships. We recruited individuals aged 40 years or older with an untreated blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg or higher (≥130/80 mm Hg among those with a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease) or a treated blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg or higher. In the intervention group, trained village doctors initiated and titrated antihypertensive medications according to a standard protocol with supervision from primary care physicians. Village doctors also conducted health coaching on home blood pressure monitoring, lifestyle changes, and medication adherence. The primary outcome (reported here) was the proportion of patients with a blood pressure of less than 130/80 mm Hg at 18 months. The analysis was by intention to treat. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03527719, and is ongoing. FINDINGS Between May 8 and November 28, 2018, we enrolled 33 995 individuals from 163 intervention and 163 control villages. At 18 months, 8865 (57·0%) of 15 414 patients in the intervention group and 2895 (19·9%) of 14 500 patients in the control group had a blood pressure of less than 130/80 mm Hg, with a group difference of 37·0% (95% CI 34·9 to 39·1%; p<0·0001). Mean systolic blood pressure decreased by -26·3 mm Hg (95% CI -27·1 to -25·4) from baseline to 18 months in the intervention group and by -11·8 mm Hg (-12·6 to -11·0) in the control group, with a group difference of -14·5 mm Hg (95% CI -15·7 to -13·3 mm Hg; p<0·0001). Mean diastolic blood pressure decreased by -14·6 mm Hg (-15·1 to -14·2) from baseline to 18 months in the intervention group and by -7·5 mm Hg (-7·9 to -7·2) in the control group, with a group difference of -7·1 mm Hg (-7·7 to -6·5 mm Hg; p<0·0001). No treatment-related serious adverse events were reported in either group. INTERPRETATION Compared with enhanced usual care, village doctor-led intervention resulted in statistically significant improvements in blood pressure control among rural residents in China. This feasible, effective, and sustainable implementation strategy could be scaled up in rural China and other low-income and middle-income countries for hypertension control.

Abstract
Pnictides are superior infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) material candidates, but the exploration of NLO pnictides is still tardy due to lack of rational material design strategies. An in-depth understanding structure-performance relationship is urgent for designing novel and eminent pnictide NLO materials. Herein, this work unravels a vital band gap mechanism of pnictides, namely P atom with low coordination numbers (2 CN) will cause the decrease of band gap due to the delocalization of non-bonding electron pairs. Accordingly, a general design paradigm for NLO pnictides, ionicity-covalency-metallicity regulation is proposed for designing wide-band gap NLO pnictides with maintained SHG effect. Driven by this idea, millimeter-level crystals of MgSiP2 are synthesized with a wide band gap (2.34 eV), a strong NLO performance (3.5 x AgGaS2 ), and a wide IR transparency range (0.53-10.3 µm). This work provides an essential guidance for the future design and synthesis of NLO pnictides, and also opens a new perspective at Zintl chemistry important for other material fields.

Abstract
For the first time, the polar covalent tetrahedron [SO2 (NH2 )2 ] is revealed as a new deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO)-active unit according to theoretical calculations. Furthermore, sulfamide consisting of polar [SO2 (NH2 )2 ] units was confirmed as an excellent candidate as a DUV NLO crystal. Sulfamide provides the optimal balance between composition, structure, and properties, in addition to a very short absorption of 160 nm. It achieves multiple optical performance records for non-π-conjugated DUV NLO materials, including the strongest second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency (about 4 times that of KDP), the largest birefringence (obv.: 0.07@589.3 nm) and the shortest SHG wavelength predicted as 188 nm.

Abstract
Background The current study aimed to assess a novel ureteroscopic technique developed for treating upper urinary calculi based on a specially designed lateral decubitus body position that could avoid stone loss by adjusting to the effects of gravity. Methods This retrospective study examined patients with upper urinary calculi who were surgically treated from November 2008 to January 2020, using a new body position and a rigid ureteroscope. Clinical outcomes, stone-free rates, operative times and complications were evaluated, and factors that could influence treatment success were determined. Results In total, 1080 patients were included, and 1145 operations were performed. The maximum calculus diameters were 11.22 ± 5.01 mm. Operative times were 48.60 ± 27.44 min. A total of 1042 cases were successfully treated, with a stone-free rate of 91.00%. Multivariate analysis showed that female sex (OR = 2.135, 95% CI 1.332–3.422, P = 0.002), thin scope standby (OR = 1.643, 95% CI 1.074–2.514, P = 0.022), laser lithotripsy (OR = 5.087, 95% CI 2.400–10.785, P = 0.000) and stone size (OR = 0.946, 95% CI 0.912–0.981, P = 0.003) were independently associated with stone-free outcomes. In total, 2 ureteral perforations, 2 ureteric avulsions and 4 urosepsis cases were observed, but were all cured without sequelae. Conclusions Ureteroscopic lithotripsy in the lateral decubitus position is a safe and effective technique for treating upper urinary tract calculi, especially upper ureteral calculi.

Abstract
MgO nanostructures with different morphologies were fabricated by regulating the composition of raw materials, using the chemical vapor deposition method with gold as a catalyst. Polycrystalline MgO nanopillars were prepared using only Mg3N2 as the raw material. Single crystalline nanowire arrays can be obtained by adding carbon powder into the raw material. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used for the detailed characterization of (100) nanowire arrays. Besides the vertical growth direction [100], the nanowires change into two kinds of orientations after growing to a certain length: 〈111〉 and 〈001〉. The epitaxial growth was attributed to the lattice match and regulation of the concentration of the Mg source. The variation of growth orientations was probably caused by the difference in surface energy and reaction temperature.

Abstract
Background Hyperlipidemia (HLP) and hypertension (HTN) are both independent risk factors for ischemic stroke. This study aimed to assess whether HTN and HLP have a synergistic effect on the risk of ischemic stroke. Methods Between January and August 2013, 11,695 subjects in rural areas of northeastern China were enrolled. The additive and multiplicative scales were used to evaluate the interaction. Results The prevalence of ischemic stroke was 5.7%. Using the healthy group (without HTN or HLP) as the reference group, subjects with both HTN and HLP had a higher risk of ischemic stroke (odds ratio [OR]: 3.369, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.579–4.402), and this OR was greater than that of subjects with only HTN (OR: 1.995, 95% CI 1.526–2.610) or HLP (OR: 1.321, 95% CI 0.937–1.862) (adjusting for age, sex, race, education level, family income, current smoking and drinking status, physical activity, body mass index, diabetes, family history of stroke, and atrial fibrillation). Regarding the additive scale, the relative excess risk due to interaction (OR: 1.053, 95% CI 0.458–1.648) was positive after adjusting for confounders. Moreover, the attributable proportion was 31.3%, which means that 31.3% of the total risk of ischemic stroke was due to the synergistic interaction between HTN and HLP. Furthermore, the synergistic index (S) of ischemic stroke was 1.8 (95% CI 1.157–2.801), which also indicates a synergistic interaction between HTN and HLP. Regarding the multiplicative scale, the interaction effect was also significant after adjusting for confounders (OR: 2.163, 95% CI 1.817–2.575). Conclusion The results suggest that the synergistic effect of HTN and HLP on ischemic stroke is significantly higher than the sum of their independent effects. The quantification of the combined effect should help to promote healthy blood pressure and blood lipid levels among the general population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a perennial crop, oil-Camellia possesses a long domestication history and produces high-quality seed oil that is beneficial to human health. Camellia oleifera Abel. is a sister species to the tea plant, which is extensively cultivated for edible oil production. However, the molecular mechanism of the domestication of oil-Camellia is still limited due to the lack of sufficient genomic information. RESULTS To elucidate the genetic and genomic basis of evolution and domestication, here we report a chromosome-scale reference genome of wild oil-Camellia (2.95 Gb), together with transcriptome sequencing data of 221 cultivars. The oil-Camellia genome, assembled by an integrative approach of multiple sequencing technologies, consists of a large proportion of repetitive elements (76.1%) and high heterozygosity (2.52%). We construct a genetic map of high-density corrected markers by sequencing the controlled-pollination hybrids. Genome-wide association studies reveal a subset of artificially selected genes that are involved in the oil biosynthesis and phytohormone pathways. Particularly, we identify the elite alleles of genes encoding sugar-dependent triacylglycerol lipase 1, β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III, and stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturases; these alleles play important roles in enhancing the yield and quality of seed oil during oil-Camellia domestication. CONCLUSIONS We generate a chromosome-scale reference genome for oil-Camellia plants and demonstrate that the artificial selection of elite alleles of genes involved in oil biosynthesis contributes to oil-Camellia domestication.
