Abstract
PURPOSE Incarcerated femoral hernia patients had high risk of hernia contents necrosis. We provide our experience of management ischemia and necrosis of hernia contents in emergency incarcerated femoral hernia patients, and to investigate its risk factors. METHODS This is a case-control study. Eighty-nine incarcerated femoral patients who underwent emergency surgery from January 2015 to December 2021 were included, and divided into normal group (60 cases) and ischemia/necrosis group (29 cases) according to the intraoperative condition of hernia contents. The surgical methods, intraoperative and postoperative conditions were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of ischemia and necrosis of hernia contents. RESULTS Open preperitoneal tension-free repair was the most commonly used surgical methods (68.5%) for incarcerated femoral patients. The utilization rate of laparoscopic repair in the ischemia/necrosis group was lower than that in the normal group (13.8% vs. 20.0%, P = 0.475). The proportion of mesh placement in the normal group was significantly higher than that in the ischemia/necrosis group (98.3% vs 65.5%, P < 0.001). The hernia contents resection rate (55.2% vs 1.7%), operation time (90 vs 40 min), intraoperative bleeding (5 vs 2 ml), ICU admission rate (31.0% vs 1.7%), and hospital stay (7 vs 4 d) were significantly higher in the ischemia/necrosis group than those in normal group. Results of multivariate logistic regression showed that incarceration time more than 9 h (aOR = 19.3, 95%CI: 1.9-192.9) was an independent risk factor for ischemia and necrosis of hernia contents in emergency incarcerated femoral hernia patients. CONCLUSION Open tension-free repair was the most commonly used surgical methods for emergency incarcerated femoral hernia patients. Ischemia and necrosis of hernia contents will increase bowel resection rate and prolong operation and hospital stay. Long incarceration time is an independent risk factor for ischemia and necrosis of hernia contents.

Abstract
AIM We design a feasibility study to obtain a set of metabolic-hemodynamic habitats for tackling tumor spatial metabolic patterns with hemodynamic information. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative data from 69 high-grade gliomas (HGG) patients with subsequent histologic confirmation of HGG were prospectively collected (January 2016 to March 2020) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Four vascular habitats were automatically segmented by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The metabolic information, either at enhancing or edema tumor regions, was obtained by two neuroradiologists. The relative habitat volumes were used for weight estimation procedures for computing the coefficients of a linear regression model using weighted least squares (WLS) for metabolite semiquantifications (i.e. the Cho/NAA ratio and the Cho/Cr ratio) at vascular habitats. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses are used to obtain the odds ratio (OR) and develop a nomogram using weighted estimators corresponding to each covariate derived from Cox regression coefficients. RESULTS There was a strongly correlation between perfusion indexes and the Cho/Cr ratio (rCBV, r=0.71) or Cho/NAA ratio (rCBV, r=0.66) at high-angiogenic enhancing tumor habitats (HAT) habitat. Compared isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation to their wild type, the IDH wild type had significantly decreased Cho/Cr ratio (IDH mutation: Cho/Cr ratio = 2.44 ± 0.33, IDH wildtype: Cho/Cr ratio = 2.66 ± 0.36, p=0.02) and Cho/NAA ratio (IDH mutation: Cho/Cr ratio = 4.59 ± 0.61, IDH wildtype: Cho/Cr ratio = 4.99 ± 0.66, p=0.022) at the HAT. The C-index for the median progression-free survival (PFS) prediction was 0.769 for the Cho/NAA nomogram and 0.747 for the Cho/Cr nomogram through 1000 bootstrapping validation. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that spatial metabolism combined with hemodynamic heterogeneity is associated with individual PFS to HGG patients post-CCRT.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of anterolateral thigh flow-through chimeric perforator free flap transplantation in the treatment of upper limb complex tissue defects with main artery injury. Methods: The study was a retrospective observational study. From May 2019 to January 2022, 11 patients with upper limb complex tissue defects combined with main artery injury who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Hand, Foot and Ankle Surgery of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, including 7 males and 4 females, aged from 18 to 56 years. After debridement, the area of skin and soft tissue defects was from 20 cm×6 cm to 32 cm×10 cm, and the exposed area of dead cavity or deep tissue was from 7 cm×4 cm to 10 cm×7 cm. Three patients had radial artery defects with a length of 4 to 7 cm; two patients had ulnar artery defects with a length of 5 to 8 cm; 4 patients had defects in both ulnar and radial arteries with a length of 3 to 7 cm; and in two patients, the ulnar, radial and brachial arteries were all defective with a length of 4 to 8 cm. The anterolateral thigh flow-through chimeric perforator flap was designed and cut. The skin flap area was from 22 cm×7 cm to 32 cm×11 cm, the chimeric muscle flap area was from 7 cm×4 cm to 10 cm×7 cm, and the length of the flow-through vessel in the "T" shaped vessel pedicle was from 4 to 8 cm. When transplanting the skin flap, the proximal end of the vascular pedicle was anastomosed with the proximal end of the recipient site, and the distal end of the vascular pedicle was anastomosed with the more normal blood vessel at the distal end of the forearm; the invalid cavity was filled with the muscle flap. The donor site wounds of tissue flap were closed directly or treated with skin grafting. After operation, the blood supply and survival of the flap, the survival of the distal limb, and the survival of the skin graft at the flap donor site were observed. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed to observe the patency of the proximal and distal anastomotic arteries from 2 to 4 weeks after surgery. During follow-up, the texture of the flap, the survival of the grafted skin and the healing of the donor area were observed. Results: One patient (complete forearm disconnection) developed distal limb blood disorder on 5 days after surgery. CTA examination suggested embolization of the distal anastomosis of the flow-through artery. more muscle and skin and soft tissue necrosis of the distal limb showed in emergency exploration. So, amputation was performed ultimately. No vascular crisis occurred in the skin flaps of the remaining 10 patients, and all skin flaps, distal limbs and the skin grafts in flap donor sites survived well. Two to 4 weeks after surgery, the proximal and distal ends of the anastomosed arteries were good in the patency. Follow-up for 11-37 months, the flap texture was good, and all donor site wounds healed well. Conclusions: The use of anterolateral thigh flow-through chimeric perforator flap to repair upper limb complex tissue defects accompanied by main artery injury can improve the success rate of limb salvage, which can be promoted in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with liver cirrhosis sometimes suffer from high recurrence rates and postoperative complications. We previously reported that platelet-related hematological parameters are associated with the outcomes after incisional herniorrhaphy, and aim to evaluate the predictive value of these criteria in cirrhotic patients undergoing open umbilical herniorrhaphy. METHODS This is a retrospective study. The data of 95 cirrhotic patients undergoing open umbilical herniorrhaphy were analyzed. Patients were grouped based on the recurrence and defined hematological values. Platelet-multiple-lymphocyte index (PLM), neutrophil-leukocyte ratio, lymphocyte-monocyte ratio, platelet-neutrophil ratio, systemic immune-inflammation index, and aspartate aminotransferase-leukocyte ratio values were calculated based on preoperative blood analyses. The outcomes were obtained from hospital records and follow-up calls to patients. RESULTS Using cutoff values acquired by the Youden Index, we found a PLM value < 27.9, and the history of inguinal herniorrhaphy were revealed to be statistically significant in the recurrence based on univariant and multivariant analyses (p < 0.05). We further divided patients into two groups based on the cutoff value of PLM and found that a PLM value < 27.9 was significantly associated with the recurrence of incisional hernias (p = 0.018) and the occurrence of postoperative foreign sensation (p = 0.044), and tended to result in other postoperative complications such as cardiopathy, respiratory infection, hypoproteinemia, and hepatic diseases (p = 0.089). CONCLUSION The preoperative hematological values, especially PLM, may indicate the outcomes in cirrhotic patients after open umbilical herniorrhaphy. Accurate identification of risks may alert the intraoperative and postoperative care for patients.

Abstract
Functional hierarchy is prevalent in biological systems owing to natural evolution. Efforts to replicate these structures in artificial materials have gained traction in materials science. Although artificial hierarchical structures are fabricated at different scales based on site-specific interactions using ABC-type block copolymers (BCPs), the fabrication of such hierarchical structures using AB-type BCPs via a simple and efficient method remains challenging. Herein, a class of amphiphilic BCPs (PDenm -b-PACholn ) is reported comprising dendronized oligoethylene glycol (Den) and cholesterol (AChol) as hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, respectively. By employing the collapse of PDenm blocks at a specific temperature, the fabrication of bundled fibers and multilayer vesicles is achieved with an obvious hierarchy. Different from common reversible aggregation-disaggregation processes of thermal-responsive polymers, the ordering of the core-forming block with liquid crystalline (LC) properties provides robustly physical cross-linking, coupled with epitaxial growth and the lateral fusion of LC blocks, guiding the formation of stable hierarchical micellar structures. It is highlighted that the combination of temperature-sensitive properties and LC ordering alignment offers a novel approach for constructing hierarchical structures using AB-type BCPs via an efficient one-step assembly method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop a nomogram model of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer with distant metastases, and to evaluate and validate the nomogram. Also, its prognostic value was compared with that of the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor-node-metastasis staging system (AJCC8SS). METHODS Patients with distant metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DMDTC) from 2004 to 2015 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program to extract the clinical variables used for analysis. A total of 906 patients were divided into a training set (n = 634) and validation set (n = 272). OS and CSS were selected as the primary end point and secondary end point. LASSO regression analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were applied to screen variables for constructing OS and CSS nomograms for survival probability at 3, 5, and 10 years. Nomograms were evaluated and validated using the consistency index (C-index), time-dependent receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves, area under the ROC curve, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The predictive survival of the nomogram was compared with that of AJCC8SS. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were used to evaluate the risk-stratification ability OS and CSS nomograms. RESULTS CS and CSS nomograms included six independent predictors: age, marital status, type of surgical procedure, lymphadenectomy, radiotherapy, and T stage. The C-index for the OS nomogram was 0.7474 (95% CI = 0.7199-0.775), and that for the CSS nomogram was 0.7572 (0.7281-0.7862). The nomogram showed good agreement with the "ideal" calibration curve in the training set and validation sets. DCA confirmed that the survival probability predicted by the nomogram had high clinical predictive value. The nomogram could stratify patients more accurately, and showed more robust accuracy and predictive power, than AJCC8SS. CONCLUSIONS We established and validated prognostic nomograms for patients with DMDTC, which had significant clinical value compared with AJCC8SS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mazdutide, a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist, in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone or with stable metformin (glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] 7.0-10.5% [53-91 mmol/mol]) were randomly assigned to receive 3 mg mazdutide (n = 51), 4.5 mg mazdutide (n = 49), 6 mg mazdutide (n = 49), 1.5 mg open-label dulaglutide (n = 50), or placebo (n = 51) subcutaneously for 20 weeks. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c from baseline to week 20. RESULTS Mean changes in HbA1c from baseline to week 20 ranged from -1.41% to -1.67% with mazdutide (-1.35% with dulaglutide and 0.03% with placebo; all P < 0.0001 vs. placebo). Mean percent changes in body weight from baseline to week 20 were dose dependent and up to -7.1% with mazdutide (-2.7% with dulaglutide and -1.4% with placebo). At week 20, participants receiving mazdutide were more likely to achieve HbA1c targets of <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) and ≤6.5% (48 mmol/mol) and body weight loss from baseline of ≥5% and ≥10% compared with placebo-treated participants. The most common adverse events with mazdutide included diarrhea (36%), decreased appetite (29%), nausea (23%), vomiting (14%), and hypoglycemia (10% [8% with placebo]). CONCLUSIONS In Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes, mazdutide dosed up to 6 mg was generally safe and demonstrated clinically meaningful HbA1c and body weight reductions.

Abstract
Mazdutide is a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptor dual agonist. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of 24-week treatment of mazdutide up to 6 mg in Chinese overweight adults or adults with obesity, as an interim analysis of a randomised, two-part (low doses up to 6 mg and high dose of 9 mg), double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04904913). Overweight adults (body-mass index [BMI] ≥24 kg/m2) accompanied by hyperphagia and/or at least one obesity-related comorbidity or adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) were randomly assigned (3:1:3:1:3:1) to once-weekly mazdutide 3 mg, 4.5 mg, 6 mg or matching placebo at 20 hospitals in China. The primary endpoint was the percentage change from baseline to week 24 in body weight. A total of 248 participants were randomised to mazdutide 3 mg (n = 62), 4.5 mg (n = 63), 6 mg (n = 61) or placebo (n = 62). The mean percentage changes from baseline to week 24 in body weight were -6.7% (SE 0.7) with mazdutide 3 mg, -10.4% (0.7) with 4.5 mg, -11.3% (0.7) with 6 mg and 1.0% (0.7) with placebo, with treatment difference versus placebo ranging from -7.7% to -12.3% (all p < 0.0001). All mazdutide doses were well tolerated and the most common adverse events included diarrhoea, nausea and upper respiratory tract infection. In summary, in Chinese overweight adults or adults with obesity, 24-week treatment with mazdutide up to 6 mg was safe and led to robust and clinically meaningful body weight reduction.

Abstract
Tafolecimab, a novel fully human monoclonal antibody targeting PCSK9, has been assessed in Chinese healthy volunteers and patients with hypercholesterolemia. This analysis is to develop and qualify a population pharmacokinetics (PopPKs)/LDL-C model to characterize tafolecimab PK and LDL-C profiles, evaluate the impact of potential covariates on tafolecimab, estimate individual predicted exposure, and LDL-C decreasing, furthermore, explore exposure-response relationship to support clinical use. Data from six clinical trials in China were used to develop the PopPK/LDL-C model. A Michaelis-Menten approximation of the target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) model was used to describe PK data and indirect response (IDR) model was developed to estimate the LDL-C profile. A stochastic approximation expectation maximization algorithm was applied to estimate PopPK/LDL-C parameters. The PK/LDL-C time course data for tafolecimab were well described by TMDD/IDR model. Baseline covariates resulting in statistically significant changes in PK/LDL-C parameters included: body weight and sex on absorption rate constant; body weight, sex, and unbound PCSK9 on central volume; body weight and sex on clearance; baseline LDL-C on first-order rate constants for the removal of an effect); and disease and sex on maximum effect. However, the magnitudes of changes associated with these covariates do not necessitate dose adjustment. Exposure-efficacy relationship indicated that the nadir of LDL-C reduction achieved with the steady-state trough plasma concentration (Ctrough ) of tafolecimab at 5 μg/mL, and no further LDL-C decreasing with the increasing Ctrough . There was no exposure dependency observed in exposure-safety exploration. The PopPK/LDL-C model was successfully developed, validated, and predicted tafolecimab/LDL-C concentrations and individual exposures.

Abstract
Element isotopes are characterized by distinct atomic masses and nuclear spins, which can significantly influence material properties. Notably, however, isotopes in natural materials are homogenously distributed in space. Here, we propose a method to configure material properties by repositioning isotopes in engineered van der Waals (vdW) isotopic heterostructures. We showcase the properties of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) isotopic heterostructures in engineering confined photon-lattice waves-hyperbolic phonon polaritons. By varying the composition, stacking order, and thicknesses of h10BN and h11BN building blocks, hyperbolic phonon polaritons can be engineered into a variety of energy-momentum dispersions. These confined and tailored polaritons are promising for various nanophotonic and thermal functionalities. Due to the universality and importance of isotopes, our vdW isotope heterostructuring method can be applied to engineer the properties of a broad range of materials.

Abstract
We review comprehensive observations of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave-driven energetic electron precipitation using data collected by the energetic electron detector on the Electron Losses and Fields InvestigatioN (ELFIN) mission, two polar-orbiting low-altitude spinning CubeSats, measuring 50-5000 keV electrons with good pitch-angle and energy resolution. EMIC wave-driven precipitation exhibits a distinct signature in energy-spectrograms of the precipitating-to-trapped flux ratio: peaks at >0.5 MeV which are abrupt (bursty) (lasting ∼17 s, or Δ L ∼ 0.56 ) with significant substructure (occasionally down to sub-second timescale). We attribute the bursty nature of the precipitation to the spatial extent and structuredness of the wave field at the equator. Multiple ELFIN passes over the same MLT sector allow us to study the spatial and temporal evolution of the EMIC wave - electron interaction region. Case studies employing conjugate ground-based or equatorial observations of the EMIC waves reveal that the energy of moderate and strong precipitation at ELFIN approximately agrees with theoretical expectations for cyclotron resonant interactions in a cold plasma. Using multiple years of ELFIN data uniformly distributed in local time, we assemble a statistical database of ∼50 events of strong EMIC wave-driven precipitation. Most reside at L ∼ 5 - 7 at dusk, while a smaller subset exists at L ∼ 8 - 12 at post-midnight. The energies of the peak-precipitation ratio and of the half-peak precipitation ratio (our proxy for the minimum resonance energy) exhibit an L -shell dependence in good agreement with theoretical estimates based on prior statistical observations of EMIC wave power spectra. The precipitation ratio's spectral shape for the most intense events has an exponential falloff away from the peak (i.e., on either side of ∼ 1.45 MeV). It too agrees well with quasi-linear diffusion theory based on prior statistics of wave spectra. It should be noted though that this diffusive treatment likely includes effects from nonlinear resonant interactions (especially at high energies) and nonresonant effects from sharp wave packet edges (at low energies). Sub-MeV electron precipitation observed concurrently with strong EMIC wave-driven >1 MeV precipitation has a spectral shape that is consistent with efficient pitch-angle scattering down to ∼ 200-300 keV by much less intense higher frequency EMIC waves at dusk (where such waves are most frequent). At ∼100 keV, whistler-mode chorus may be implicated in concurrent precipitation. These results confirm the critical role of EMIC waves in driving relativistic electron losses. Nonlinear effects may abound and require further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL) 23p19 monoclonal antibodies were efficacious and safe in the treatment of psoriasis. A first-in-human (FIH) study was conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of IBI112, a novel IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody. METHODS In this FIH, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose study, a subcutaneous (SC, 5-600 mg) or intravenous (IV, 100 and 600 mg) or placebo was administered to eligible healthy subjects. Safety was assessed by physical examinations, vital signs, laboratory tests, and electrocardiograms. Furthermore, non-compartment analysis and population PK modeling were conducted to characterize PK, and model-based simulation was applied to justify dose selection for psoriasis patients. RESULTS A total of 46 subjects were enrolled, with 35 receiving IBI112 and 11 receiving placebo. No serious adverse events (SAEs) and no clinically significant adverse events were identified. After a single SC of IBI112, the median Tmax was 4-10.5 days, and the half-life (t1/2) ranged from 21.8 to 35.8 days. IBI112 exposures (Cmax and AUCinf) approached dose proportionality across 5-300 mg range. CONCLUSION IBI112 was well tolerated and safe at SC or IV dose up to 600 mg and showed a linear PK characteristics at SC dose from 5 to 300 mg.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the status of depression and social anxiety in children and adolescents, and to analyze the association between body fat distribution and depression, social anxiety in children and adolescents. METHODS A total of 1 412 children aged 7 to 18 years in Beijing were included by stratified cluster random sampling method. Body fat distribution, including total body fat percentage (total BF%), Android BF%, Gynoid BF% and Android-to-Gynoid fat ratio (AOI), were obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorption method. Depression and social anxiety were evaluated by Children Depression Inventory and Social Anxiety Scale for Children. Multivariate linear regression and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to estimate the linear and non-linear correlation between body fat distribution and depression and social anxiety. RESULTS 13.1% and 31.1% of the children and adolescents had depressive symptoms and social anxiety symptoms respectively, and the detection rate of depression and social anxiety in the boys and young groups was significantly lower than those in the girls and old groups. There was no significant linear correlation between total BF%, Android BF%, Gynoid BF%, AOI and depression and social anxiety in the children and adolescents. However, total BF% and Gynoid BF% had significant nonlinear correlation with depression, showing an inverted U-shaped curve relationship with the tangent points of 26.8% and 30.9%, respectively. In terms of the nonlinear association of total BF%, Android BF%, Gynoid BF% and AOI with depression and social anxiety, the change trends of the boys and girls, low age group and high age group were consistent. The overall anxiety risk HR of body fat distribution in the boys was significantly higher than that in the girls, and the risk HR of depression and social anxiety were significantly higher in the high age group than those in the low age group. CONCLUSION There was no significant linear correlation between body fat distribution and depression and social anxiety in children and adolescents. Total BF% and depression showed an inverted U-shaped curve, mainly manifested in Gynoid BF%, and this trend was consistent in different genders and different age groups. Maintaining children and adolescents' body fat distribution at an appropriate level is the future direction of the prevention and control of depression and social anxiety in children and adolescents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is concern that the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine may trigger or worsen autoimmune diseases. The objective of this study was to determine the impacts of COVID-19 vaccination on symptom severity in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). METHODS A total of 106 enrolled patients with MG who were vaccinated against COVID-19 were followed up, and a questionnaire was used to document in detail the exacerbation of muscle weakness after vaccination and all other uncomfortable reactions after vaccination. Demographic, clinical characteristics, medication, and vaccination data were collected by follow-up interview. The main observation outcome was whether the MG symptoms of patients were exacerbated. The definition of exacerbation is according to the subjective feeling of the patient or a 2-point increase in daily life myasthenia gravis activity score relative to before vaccination, within 30 days after vaccination. RESULTS Of 106 enrolled patients [median age (SD) 41.0 years, 38 (35.8%) men, 53 (50.0%) with generalized MG, 74 (69.8%) positive for acetylcholine receptor antibody, and 21 (19.8%) with accompanying thymoma], muscle weakness symptoms were stable in 102 (96.2%) patients before vaccine inoculation. Muscle weakness worsened in 10 (9.4%) people after vaccination, of which 8 patients reported slight symptom worsening that resolved quickly (within a few days). Two (1.9%) of patients showed serious symptom aggravation that required hospitalization. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that inactivated virus vaccines against COVID-19 may be safe for patients with MG whose condition is stable. Patients with generalized MG may be more likely to develop increased muscle weakness after vaccination.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) inhibitors are currently evaluated for the therapy of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). It is of great importance to identify potential biomarkers to predict or monitor the efficacy of PI3Kα inhibitors in an aim to improve the clinical responsive rate in ESCC. Here, ESCC PDXs with CCND1 amplification were found to be more sensitive to CYH33, a novel PI3Kα-selective inhibitor currently in clinical trials for the treatment of advanced solid tumors including ESCC. Elevated level of cyclin D1, p21 and Rb was found in CYH33-sensitive ESCC cells compared to those in resistant cells. CYH33 significantly arrested sensitive cells but not resistant cells at G1 phase, which was associated with accumulation of p21 and suppression of Rb phosphorylation by CDK4/6 and CDK2. Hypo-phosphorylation of Rb attenuated the transcriptional activation of SKP2 by E2F1, which in turn hindered SKP2-mediated degradation of p21 and reinforced accumulation of p21. Moreover, CDK4/6 inhibitors sensitized resistant ESCC cells and PDXs to CYH33. These findings provided mechanistic rationale to evaluate PI3Kα inhibitors in ESCC patients harboring amplified CCND1 and the combined regimen with CDK4/6 inhibitors in ESCC with proficient Rb.

Abstract
Mimecan, or osteoglycin, belongs to the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans. In connective tissues mimecan is implicated in the development and maintenance of normal collagen fibrillar organization. Since collagen fibrils are responsible for tissue reinforcement, the absence of mimecan could lead to abnormal tissue mechanical properties. Here, we carried out a preliminary investigation of possible changes in the mechanical properties of tendons in mice lacking a functional mimecan gene, as a function of age. Tail tendons were dissected from mimecan gene knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) mice at ages 1, 4 and 8 months and mechanical properties evaluated using a microtensile testing equipment. Mimecan gene knockout resulted in changes in tendon elasticity- and fracture-related properties. While tendons of WT mice exhibited enhanced mechanical properties with increasing age, this trend was notably attenuated in mimecan KO tendons, with the exception of fracture strain. When genotype and age were considered as cross factors, the diminution in the mechanical properties of mimecan KO tendons was significant for yield strength, modulus and fracture strength. This effect appeared to affect the mice at 4 month old. These preliminary results suggest that mimecan may have a role in regulating age-dependent mechanical function in mouse tail tendon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) is largely underdiagnosed and undertreated in China where few patients achieved recommended target levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). We conducted the first randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in Chinese patients with HeFH to assess the efficacy and safety of tafolecimab, a novel fully human proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibody. METHODS Patients diagnosed with HeFH by Simon Broome criteria and on a stable lipid-lowering therapy for at least 4 weeks were randomized 2:2:1:1 to receive subcutaneous tafolecimab 150 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W), tafolecimab 450 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W), placebo Q2W or placebo Q4W in the 12-week double-blind treatment period. After that, participants received open-label tafolecimab 150 mg Q2W or 450 mg Q4W for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the percent change from baseline to week 12 in LDL-C levels. Secondary endpoints included proportion of participants achieving ≥50% LDL-C reductions and proportion of participants with LDL-C <1.8 mmol/L at week 12 and 24, the change from baseline to week 12 in non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a) levels, as well as the change from baseline to week 24 in lipid levels. RESULTS In total, 149 participants were randomized and 148 received at least one dose of the study treatment. At week 12, tafolecimab treatment induced significant reductions in LDL-C levels (treatment difference versus placebo [on-treatment estimand]: -57.4% [97.5% CI, -69.2 to -45.5] for 150 mg Q2W; -61.9% [-73.4 to -50.4] for 450 mg Q4W; both P <0.0001). At both dose regimens, significantly more participants treated with tafolecimab achieved ≥50% LDL-C reductions or LDL-C <1.8 mmol/L at week 12 as compared with corresponding placebo groups (all P <0.0001). Meanwhile, non-HDL-C, apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a) levels were significantly reduced in the tafolecimab groups at week 12. The lipid-lowering effects of tafolecimab were maintained till week 24. During the double-blind treatment period, the most commonly-reported adverse events in the tafolecimab groups included upper respiratory tract infection, increased blood creatine phosphokinase, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase and hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Tafolecimab administered either 150 mg Q2W or 450 mg Q4W yielded significant and persistent reductions in LDL-C levels and showed a favorable safety profile in Chinese patients with HeFH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acrylamide (AA) is a potential carcinogen that mainly comes from fried, baked and roasted foods, and Hb adducts of AA (HbAA) and its metabolite glycidamide (HbGA) are the biomarkers of its exposure. Increasing evidence suggests that AA is associated with various hormone-related cancers. This study aims to explore the association of HbAA and HbGA with female serum sex hormone concentrations. METHODS 942 women from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles (2013-2016) were included in this cross-sectional study. The associations between HbAA or HbGA or HbGA/HbAA and sex hormones were assessed by the multiple linear regression. Further stratified analyses were conducted to figure out the effects of menopausal status, BMI and smoking status on sex hormone levels. RESULTS Among all participants, 597 were premenopausal and 345 were postmenopausal. HbAA was positively associated with both two androgen indicators. Specifically, a ln-unit increase in HbAA was associated with 0.41 ng/dL higher ln(total testosterone, TT) (95% CI 0.00, 0.27) and 0.14 ng/dL higher ln(free testosterone) (95%CI 0.00, 0.28), respectively. However, HbGA concentrations had no association with sex hormones in the overall population. Additionally, HbGA/HbAA was negatively associated with TT and SHBG in the overall population as well as postmenopausal women. In stratified analysis, higher HbAA was associated with rising TT in postmenopausal women (β = 0.29, 95%CI 0.04, 0.53) and underweight/normal-weight women (β = 0.18, 95%CI 0.03, 0.33). Other indicators had no significant association detected in estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin. CONCLUSION Our results revealed that HbAA was positively associated with androgen concentrations, especially in postmenopausal and BMI < 25 women.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics and geographical distribution of unhealthy lifestyle among children and adolescents of Han nationality in China and obtain evidence for proposing the related strategies to improve the well-being of this population. Methods: Students aged 6-22 years old were selected from the Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health in 2019. The prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles (physical inactivity, lack of outdoor activity, sedentary behavior, excessive screen time, sleep insufficiency, unhealthy eating behavior) between sex, residence, and age groups was calculated and compared. Multilevel logistic regression was used to explore the influencing factors of unhealthy lifestyle. Results: The prevalence of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity less than 1 h/d or 30 min/d were 82.06% and 54.69%, respectively. The prevalence of less than 2 h/d or 3 h/d of outdoor activities were 95.20% and 83.26%, respectively. The prevalence of more than 2 h/d or 3 h/d of sitting time were 50.64% and 31.92%, respectively. The prevalence of more than 2 h/d or 3 h/d of screen time were 42.02% and 27.79%, respectively. The prevalence of sleep insufficiency, excessive sugary beverages consumption (≥ 1 time/d), and insufficient consumption of eggs, milk, and breakfast (<7 d/week) were 66.49%, 20.97%, 83.36%, 70.71%, and 34.34%, respectively. The prevalence of severe sleep insufficiency, excessive sugary beverages consumption (≥ 3 times/d), and insufficient consumption of eggs, milk, and breakfast (≤2 d/week) were 27.77%, 8.21%, 47.21%, 32.36% and 9.73%, respectively. Conclusion: In 2019, unhealthy lifestyle is common among Han students aged 6-22 years in China. It is of importance to propose policies to strengthen the health education and initiatives to support healthy behaviors in Han children and adolescents. Jointly promotion on the creation of a healthy environment for Han children and adolescents, and formulation of targeted improvement measures in accordance with the epidemic characteristics in various regions are essential to improve the healthy lifestyle of this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mazdutide (also known as IBI362 or LY3305677), a novel once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptor dual agonist, achieved 12-week body weight loss up to 6.4% at doses up to 6 mg in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity. We further explored the safety and efficacy of mazdutide dosed up to 9 mg and 10 mg. METHODS In this randomised, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending-dose phase 1b trial, we enrolled adults (aged 18-75 years, both inclusive) with overweight (body-mass index [BMI] ≥24 kg/m2) accompanied by hyperphagia and/or at least one obesity-related comorbidity or obesity (BMI ≥28 kg/m2) from five hospitals in China. Eligible participants were randomly assigned (2:1) within each cohort by using an interactive web-response system to receive once-weekly subcutaneous mazdutide or placebo for 12 weeks in the 9 mg cohort (3 mg weeks 1-4; 6 mg weeks 5-8; 9 mg weeks 9-12) and for 16 weeks in the 10 mg cohort (2.5 mg weeks 1-4; 5 mg weeks 5-8; 7.5 mg weeks 9-12; 10 mg weeks 13-16). The participants, investigators, study site personnel involved in treating and assessing participants in each cohort and sponsor personnel were masked to treatment allocation. The primary outcomes were safety and tolerability of mazdutide, assessed from baseline to end of follow-up in all participants who received at least one dose of the study treatment. The secondary outcomes included the change from baseline to week 12 or week 16 in body weight, waist circumference and BMI. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04440345. FINDINGS Between Mar. 1, 2021 and Mar. 26, 2021, a total of 24 participants were enrolled, with eight randomly assigned to mazdutide and four to placebo in each cohort. One participant receiving mazdutide and two receiving placebo in the 10 mg cohort withdrew consent and quitted the study. No serious adverse event was reported. All treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate in severity and most commonly-reported TEAEs were upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhoea, decreased appetite, nausea, urinary tract infection, abdominal distension and vomiting. The mean percent change from baseline to week 12 in body weight were -11.7% (SE 1.5) for participants receiving mazdutide in the 9 mg cohort and -1.8% (1.6) for participants receiving placebo (estimated treatment difference [ETD]: -9.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -14.4, -5.3; P = 0.0002). The mean percent change from baseline to week 16 in body weight were -9.5% (SE 1.7) for participants receiving mazdutide in the 10 mg cohort and -3.3% (1.9) for participants receiving placebo (ETD: -6.2%; 95% CI: -11.5, -0.9; P = 0.024). In addition, compared with placebo, mazdutide achieved more profound reductions in waist circumference and BMI. INTERPRETATION Mazdutide dosed up to 9 mg and 10 mg was both well tolerated and showed a favourable safety profile. High-dose mazdutide showed promising 12-week body weight loss, holding great potential for the treatment of moderate-to-severe obesity. A larger and longer phase 2 trial will further evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose mazdutide in Chinese adults with obesity. FUNDING Innovent Biologics, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore and analyze the relationship between early onset of puberty and different types of obesity in children, by combining large sample cross-sectional survey data with long-term longitudinal cohort data, so as to provide clues for further clarifying the health hazards of early onset of puberty and obesity prevention and control. METHODS The research data were from the cross-sectional survey data of seven provinces(autonomous regions, municipalities) in China and the cohort data of adolescent development in Xiamen. The study first found the association between early onset of puberty and obesity by Logistic regression on the cross-sectional data, and then used Poisson regression to analyze the association between early puberty initiation and various types of obesity risk. RESULTS In the study, 43 137 and 1 266 children were included in the cross-sectional survey and cohort survey respectively. The cross-sectional study found that among the girls aged 10-13 years, compared with the girls of the same age who did not start puberty, the body mass index (BMI)-Z score of the girls in the puberty start group was 0.5-0.8 higher, and the waist circumference Z score was 0.4-0.7 higher, and the risk of various types of obesity was higher. At the same time, the early onset of puberty was positively correlated with simple obesity, central obesity and compound obesity, the OR (95%CI) were 1.86 (1.42-2.44), 1.95 (1.65-2.32) and 1.86 (1.41-2.45), respectively. No significant association was found in boys. According to the cohort data, in girls, the risk of simple obesity was 6.00 times [RR (95%CI): 6.00 (1.07-33.60)], the risk of central obesity was 3.30 times [RR (95%CI): 3.30 (1.22-8.92)], and the risk of compound obesity was 5.76 times [RR (95%CI): 5.76 (1.03-32.30)], compared with the group without early puberty initiation, while no association between early puberty initiation and obesity was found in boys. CONCLUSION Based on the cross-sectional survey and longitudinal cohort survey, it is confirmed that the early onset of puberty in girls may increase the risk of simple obesity, central obesity and compound obesity, while there is no significant correlation between puberty onset and obesity in boys.

Abstract
We present a comprehensive analysis of the processes that lead to quasilinear pitch-angle-scattering loss of electrons from the L < 4 region of the Earth's inner magnetosphere during geomagnetically quiet times. We consider scattering via Coulomb collisions, hiss waves, lightning-generated whistler (LGW) waves, waves from ground-based very-low-frequency (VLF) transmitters, and electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. The amplitude, frequency, and wave normal angle spectra of these waves are parameterized with empirical wave models, which are then used to compute pitch-angle diffusion coefficients. From these coefficients, we estimate the decay timescales, or lifetimes, of 30 keV to 4 MeV electrons and compare the results with timescales obtained from in-situ observations. We demonstrate good quantitative agreement between the two over most of the L and energy range under investigation. Our analysis suggests that the electron decay timescales are very sensitive to the choice of plasmaspheric density model. At L < 2, where our theoretical lifetimes do not agree well with the observations, we show that including Coulomb energy drag (ionization energy loss) in our calculations significantly improves the quantitative agreement with the observed decay timescales. We also use an accurate model of the geomagnetic field to provide an estimate of the effect that the drift-loss cone has on the theoretically calculated electron lifetimes, which are usually obtained using an axisymmetric dipole field.

Abstract
Background The high recurrence rate and low survival rate of ovarian cancer (OC) patients are closely related to an anoxic environment. We aim to study the mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA transcript at the distal tip (HOTTIP) on hypoxia ovarian cancer cells (OCC) and its mechanism was investigated. Methods Knockdown and overexpression of HOTTIP in human OCC (SKOV-3, OVCAR3) were performed. The expression levels of HOTTIP and HIF-1α were monitored by qRT-PCR and WB. Transwell was conducted to validate the cell migration and invasion. ELISA was performed to calculate VEGF concentration in cells. Cell viability was monitored by CCK-8. Cell apoptosis and cycle were tested by flow cytometry. RNA pull-down was used to analyze the interaction between HIF-1α and HOTTIP. Results HOTTIP was highly expressed in OCC. After HOTTIP knockdown, HIF-1α expression and VEGF concentration in OCC were decreased. Cell migration, invasion, and cell viability were decreased. Cell apoptosis rate and G0/G1 phase cells were increased. RNA pull-down indicated a direct interaction between HIF-1α and HOTTIP. Conclusions HOTTIP formed a positive feedback loop with HIF-1α to promote the development and metastasis of hypoxia ovarian cancer. This study provided theoretical support for the development of new OC treatment strategies.

Abstract
The success of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity has sparked considerable efforts to develop next-generation co-agonists that are more effective. We conducted a randomised, placebo-controlled phase 1b study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04466904) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IBI362 (LY3305677), a GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist, in Chinese patients with T2D. A total of 43 patients with T2D were enrolled in three cohorts in nine study centres in China and randomised in each cohort to receive once-weekly IBI362 (3.0 mg, 4.5 mg or 6.0 mg), placebo or open-label dulaglutide (1.5 mg) subcutaneously for 12 weeks. Forty-two patients received the study treatment and were included in the analysis, with eight receiving IBI362, four receiving placebo and two receiving dulaglutide in each cohort. The patients, investigators and study site personnel involved in treating and assessing patients in each cohort were masked to IBI362 and placebo allocation. Primary outcomes were safety and tolerability of IBI362. Secondary outcomes included the change in glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and post-mixed-meal tolerance test (post-MTT) glucose levels. IBI362 was well tolerated. Most commonly-reported treatment-emergent adverse events were diarrhoea (29.2% for IBI362, 33.3% for dulaglutide, 0% for placebo), decreased appetite (25.0% for IBI362, 16.7% for dulaglutide, 0% for placebo) and nausea (16.7% for IBI362, 16.7% for dulaglutide and 8.3% for placebo). HbA1c, FPG and post-MTT glucose levels were reduced from baseline to week 12 in patients receiving IBI362 in all three cohorts. IBI362 showed a favourable safety profile and clinically meaningful reductions in blood glucose in Chinese patients with T2D. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists are used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D), and polyagonists targeting multiple hormone receptors are investigated as potential therapeutics for T2D. Here the authors report that IBI362 (LY3305677), a balanced once-weekly GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist, showed favourable safety and tolerability in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes in a randomized controlled phase 1b clinical trial.

Abstract
Abstract
Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world, of which about 80% are esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC). Mutation or amplification of PIK3CA frequently occurs in ESCC patients, indicating PI3Kα is a promising target for ESCC treatment. CYH33 is a novel PI3Kα-selective inhibitor, which is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors including advanced ESCC. PI3Kα inhibitors including CYH33 and the marketed alpelisib displayed highly variable activity against the proliferation of a panel of ESCC cells, reflecting the heterogeneity of ESCC. We sought to discover predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of PI3Kα inhibitors in ESCC by evaluating its activity to against the growth of a panel of 16 clinically relevant patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). We found that PDXs with CCND1 amplification were more sensitive to CYH33, which was consistent with the positive correlation between CYH33 activity and CyclinD1 expression in PDXs detected by tissue microarray. As Cyclin D1 plays a critical role in G1/S transition in cell cycle progression, proteins regulating G1 phase were profiled in ESCC cells. Elevated expression of Cyclin D1, p21 and Rb was found in CYH33-sensitive cells compared to those in resistant cells, indicating intact G1/S regulation in sensitive cells. Accordingly, CYH33 significantly arrested sensitive cells at G1 phase, while it had little effect in resistant cells. The cellular level of p21 as well as p21 bound to the CDK4/6-Cyclin D1 or CDK2-Cyclin E complex increased upon CYH33 treatment in sensitive cells, which was accompanied with decreased phosphorylation of Rb. Though CYH33 had little effect on the mRNA level of p21, its treatment prolonged the half-life of p21 protein in sensitive cells. CYH33 was found to impede the interaction between the E3 ubiquitin ligase SKP2 and p21 in sensitive cells, resulting in decreased ubiquitination of p21. However, CYH33 failed to stabilize and accumulate p21 in resistant cells. In conclusion, we found that ESCC cells with intact G1 phase regulation were more sensitive to CYH33. CYH33 arrested sensitive ESCC cells at G1 phase via inhibiting the ubiquitination and degradation of p21 by SKP2, which further resulted in decreased activity of CDK4/6 and CDK2 as well as Rb phosphorylation. These findings revealed the insight mechanism of the differential activity CYH33 against ESCC and provided potential candidate biomarkers for the treatment of ESCC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with Möbius syndrome (MBS) and to explore likely pathogenic genes. Methods: Cross-sectional study. The study enrolled 18 sporadic MBS patients who visited the Eye Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from July 2018 to December 2021. All patients completed the general information questionnaire and underwent detailed ophthalmic examinations and general physical examinations. Seventeen patients received MRI examination of cranial nerves and the orbit. The peripheral venous blood of all patients and their nuclear family members was collected, the genomic DNA was extracted, and the pathogenic gene variations that may lead to MBS were identified by whole exome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Results: Among the 18 patients, there were 8 males and 10 females, and the age was (4.5±4.0) years (range, 8 months to 17 years). All patients showed congenital, bilateral or unilateral abduction deficit and facial weakness, which met the minimum diagnostic criteria of MBS. Among them, bilateral abduction deficit (16/18) and bilateral facial weakness (15/18) were more common. Nine patients were orthotopic in primary position, eight presented with esotropia, and one showed hypotropia. All patients had ametropia, of which 4 patients were diagnosed as amblyopia. Fifteen patients were also accompanied by other multiple congenital malformations, mainly characterized by abnormal development of glossopharynx (14/18) and limbs (5/18), and 7 patients were also accompanied by motor retardation. In addition, 9 patients had intrauterine exposure to adverse factors. Among the 17 patients who underwent MRI, 15 patients had bilateral hypoplasia of the abducens nerve, two had unilateral hypoplasia of the abducens nerve, 14 showed bilateral hypoplasia of the facial nerve, and three showed hypoplasia of the left facial nerve. Besides, some patients were also accompanied by hypoplasia of other cranial nerves, mainly the glossopharyngeal nerve and the hypoglossal nerve. No definite pathogenic variations were found by whole exome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Conclusions: The main clinical features of MBS were congenital abduction deficit and facial weakness, with complicated manifestations and variable severity. MRI showed absence or thinning of the abducens nerve and the facial nerve. The results of MRI can be used as a supplement to the diagnostic criteria of MBS. The mutation detection rate of MBS was low, and half of patients had exposure to adverse factors during pregnancy, suggesting that there was a multifactorial pathogenic mechanism in MBS.

Abstract
Ground-based very low frequency (VLF) transmitters located around the world generate signals that leak through the bottom side of the ionosphere in the form of whistler mode waves. Wave and particle measurements on satellites have observed that these man-made VLF waves can be strong enough to scatter trapped energetic electrons into low pitch angle orbits, causing loss by absorption in the lower atmosphere. This precipitation loss process is greatly enhanced by intentional amplification of the whistler waves using a newly discovered process called rocket exhaust driven amplification (REDA). Satellite measurements of REDA have shown between 30 and 50 dB intensification of VLF waves in space using a 60 s burn of the 150 g/s thruster on the Cygnus satellite that services the International Space Station. This controlled amplification process is adequate to deplete the energetic particle population on the affected field lines in a few minutes rather than the multi-day period it would take naturally. Numerical simulations of the pitch angle diffusion for radiation belt particles use the UCLA quasi-linear Fokker Planck model to assess the impact of REDA on radiation belt remediation of newly injected energetic electrons. The simulated precipitation fluxes of energetic electrons are applied to models of D-region electron density and bremsstrahlung X-rays for predictions of the modified environment that can be observed with satellite and ground-based sensors.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide‐3 kinase alpha (PI3Kα) has been confirmed to be a potential therapeutic target for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), while the potency of PI3Kα inhibitors is often attenuated by concurrent oncogenic signalling pathways. We performed genome‐wide gain‐of‐function screening with a CRISPR‐SAM library and identified enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) rendering ESCC cells resistant to the PI3Kα inhibitor CYH33. Enhanced expression of EZH2 frequently occurs in ESCC and is related to poor prognosis. Overexpression of full‐length EZH2 but not methyltransferase‐deficient EZH2 conferred resistance to CYH33, while downregulating EZH2 expression restored sensitivity. EZH2 expression was negatively related to the activity of CYH33 against the proliferation of ESCC cell lines and patient‐derived cells. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that EZH2 abrogated CYH33‐mediated cell cycle regulation. EZH2 epigenetically suppressed the transcription of CDKN1A, promoting RB phosphorylation and cell cycle progression. Concurrently targeting EZH2 significantly potentiated CYH33 to inhibit the growth of ESCC cells and patient‐derived xenografts accompanied by enhanced cell cycle arrest. Taken together, our study demonstrated that an EZH2‐p21‐RB axis remodeled cell cycle regulation and rendered resistance to PI3Kα inhibitors in ESCC. Simultaneously targeting PI3Kα and EZH2 may provide an effective strategy for ESCC therapy with high expression of EZH2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze and compare the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria in Jiaozuo City before and after malaria elimination, so as to provide insights into the malaria surveillance during the post-elimination stage and prevention of re-establishment of imported malaria. METHODS Data pertaining to the epidemic situation and individual investigation of malaria in Jiaozuo City before (from 2010 to 2016) and after malaria elimination (from 2017 to November, 2020) were captured from the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System and the Information System for Parasitic Diseases Control and Prevention of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and were analyzed statistically. RESULTS A total of 74 imported malaria cases were reported in Jiaozuo City from 2010 to 2021. Imported cases were predominantly Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases in Jiaozuo City before and after malaria elimination, and there was no significant difference in the proportion of malaria parasite species (χ2 = 0.234, P > 0.05). The imported malaria cases was predominantly reported in Wuzhi County, and was identified in overseas male farmers and businessmen at ages of 20 to 59 years, while the greatest number of imported malaria cases was reported in June and December before and after malaria elimination. The imported malaria cases predominantly acquired malaria parasite infections in sub-Saharan African countries; however, the proportion of imported malaria cases returning from Southeast Asian counties increased after malaria elimination than before malaria elimination (χ2 = 5.989, P < 0.05). The longest duration from onset to definitive diagnosis of malaria reduced from 27 days before malaria elimination to 18 days after malaria elimination, and the median duration reduced from 3 days to 2 days, while the proportion of definitive diagnosis of malaria increased from 60.47% before malaria elimination to 83.87% after malaria elimination (χ2 = 4.724, P < 0.05). In addition, the proportion of malaria cases definitively diagnosed and reported by medical institutions increased after malaria elimination than before malaria elimination (χ2 = 5.406, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The imported malaria patients were predominantly P. falciparum malaria cases in Jiaozuo City during 2010 to 2021, and the patient's medical care-seeking awareness and medical staff's diagnosis and treatment ability have improved after malaria elimination. It is necessary to strengthen and improve malaria surveillance and response system and prevent the re-establishment of overseas imported malaria.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations, treatment characteristics and outcomes of myasthenia gravis (MG) dually positive for anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR-Ab) and anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase antibody (MuSK-Ab). Method: MG patients hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from August 2017 to November 2020 were retrospectively collected. Thirty-four MuSK-Ab positive MG (MuSK-MG) patients, 11 double-antibodies positive MG (DP-MG) patients, and 80 AChR-Ab positive MG (AChR-MG) patients were included and allocated to three different groups. The clinical data of patients in the three groups were collected, and the differences of demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes between DP-MG patients and AChR-MG and MuSK-MG patients were analyzed. Result: The proportion of female and male patients in DP-MG group was 7/11 and 4/11 respectively, and the onset age of DP-MG was (41±27) years.The difference in gender distribution between DP-MG and AChR-MG groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportion of extraocular muscle involvement in the DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups (8/11 and 52.9%) was lower than that in the AChR-MG group (83.8%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of myasthenia crisis in DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups (54.5% and 61.8%) were higher than that in AChR-MG group (20.0%), with astatistically significant difference(P<0.05). The positive rate of neostigmine test in DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups(8/11 and 74.2%) were lower than that of AChR-MG group (96.8%), and the positive rate of low frequency repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) in DP-MG group (5/10) was lower than that in AChR-MG group (85.1%), with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). MuSK-Ab titer was positively correlated with the course of disease (r=0.466, P<0.05), and antibody titer decreased after symptom improvement (P<0.05). The response of patients in DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups to cholinesterase inhibitors (2/11 and 9.1%) was worse than that in the AChR-MG group (66.3%), and the incidence of side effects in the two groups (5/11 and 39.4%) was higher than that in the AChR-MG group (15.0%), with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There were 4 DP-MG patients underwent thymectomy, and the pathological results detected two cases of thymoma and two cases of thymic hyperplasia. Subsequent follow-up showed that 5 (5/11) DP-MG patients achieved minimal manifestation status or better status. Conclusion: The gender distribution, age of onset, pharmacological characteristics and electrophysiological examination of DP-MG patients were similar to those of MuSK-MG patients, but the severity of DP-MG patients was between that of AChR-MG and MuSK-MG patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically clarify attitudes and influencing factors of the public toward COVID-19 vaccination for children or adolescents. STUDY DESIGN This was a scoping review. METHODS This scoping review screened, included, sorted, and analyzed relevant studies on COVID-19 vaccination for children or adolescents before December 31, 2021, in databases, including PubMed, Elsevier, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Wiley. RESULTS A total of 34 studies were included. The results showed that the public's acceptance rate toward COVID-19 vaccination for children or adolescents ranged from 4.9% (southeast Nigerian mothers) to 91% (Brazilian parents). Parents' or adolescents' age, gender, education level, and cognition and behavior characteristics for the vaccines were the central factors affecting vaccination. The vaccine's safety, effectiveness, and potential side-effects were the main reasons affecting vaccination. CONCLUSIONS Realizing current public attitudes of COVID-19 vaccination for adolescents or children can effectively develop intervention measures and control the pandemic as soon as possible through herd immunity.

Abstract
The Corylus genus contains several important nut producing species and exhibits sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of SSI in Corylus remain largely unknown. To clarify whether Corylus and Brassica share the same SSI molecular mechanism. We cloned ChaTHL1/2, ChaMLPK, ChaARC1, ChaEX70A1 genes from Ping'ou hybrid hazelnut using RACE techniques and tested the interaction between the ChaARC1 and ChaSRK1/2. We also examined the pistil-pollen interactions using scanning electron microscopy. We found no differences in the stigma surface within 1 h after compatible or incompatible pollination. Compatible pollen tubes penetrated the stigma surface, while incompatible pollen did not penetrate the stigma 4 h after pollination. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that ChaTHL1/2, ChaMLPK, ChaARC1 and ChaEX70A1 have corresponding functional domains. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that ChaTHL1/2, ChaMLPK, ChaARC1 and ChaEX70A1 were not regularly expressed in compatible or incompatible pollination. Furthermore, the expression patterns of ARC1, THL1/2, MLPK and Exo70A1 were quite distinct between Corylus and Brassica. According to yeast two-hybrid assays, ChaSRK1/2 did not interact with ChaARC1, confirming that the SRK-ARC1 signalling pathway implicated in the SSI response of Brassica was not conserved in Corylus. These results further reinforce the conclusion that, notwithstanding the similarity of the genetic basis, the SSI mechanism of Corylus does not conform in many respects with that of Brassica. Our findings could be helpful to better explore the potential mechanism of SSI system in Corylus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antioxidant, anti-tumor and immunomodulatory activities of exopolysaccharides with different molecular masses isolated from Rhizopus nigricans. METHODS Three polysaccharides with different molecular masses, namely RPS-1, RPS-2 and RPS-3, were separated from the fermentation broth of Rhizopus nigricans by fractional ethanol precipitation, and their capacity for scavenging DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radicals was assessed. Cell counting kit-8 was used to analyze the changes in the viability of MFC, A549 and RAW 264.7 cells following treatments with the 3 polysaccharides; The level of nitric oxide in the supernatant of RAW 264.7 cells was detected using a nitric oxide detection kit, and the apoptosis rate of A549 cells was analyzed with flow cytometry. RESULTS All the 3 polysaccharides had good antioxidant activities, and among them RPS-1 with a medium molecular mass exhibited the strongest scavenging capacity for DPPH and ABTS radicals (P < 0.05) while RPS-3 with the lowest molecular mass had the best scavenging activity for hydroxyl radicals (P < 0.01). All the 3 polysaccharides were capable of inhibiting the proliferation of MFC cells and A549 cells, activating the macrophages RAW 264.7 cells, and inducing apoptosis of A549 cells. RPS-2 with the highest molecular mass showed the strongest inhibitory effects against MFC and A549 cells (P > 0.05), and RPS-2 had the strongest activity for inducing apoptosis in A549 cells (P < 0.05). Compared with the other two polysaccharides, RPS-2 more strongly promoted the proliferation of RAW 264.7 cells and enhanced NO release from the cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The 3 polysaccharides all have antioxidant, anti-tumor and immunomodulatory activities, and among them RPS-1 and RPS-3 have better antioxidant activities, and RPS-2 has stronger anti-tumor and immunomodulatory activities.

Abstract
MEK/ERK signalling has been identified as a key factor that terminates diapause in Sarcophaga crassipalpis and Bombyx mori. Paradoxically, high p-MEK/p-ERK signalling induces diapause in pupae of the moth Helicoverpa armigera; however, the regulatory mechanism is unknown. In the present study, we show that p-MEK and p-ERK are elevated in the brain of diapause-destined pupae and suppression of MEK/ERK activity terminates diapause progress. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) activate MEK/ERK signalling, causing large-scale phosphorylation of downstream proteins. The levels of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins are also significantly reduced when ROS or p-ERK level decreased. Moreover, terminated diapause progress by 20-hydroxyecdysone injection significantly decreases p-MEK, p-ERK and phospho-ribosomal S6 kinase levels, while phospho-MAPK substrates and ubiquitin-conjugated protein levels increase. Our data demonstrate that high MEK/ERK signalling mediated by ROS promotes diapause maintenance via increasing phosphorylation and degradation of downstream substrates. The results of this study may provide important information for understanding the regulatory mechanisms during insect diapause.

Abstract
Light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding (Lhc) family proteins play a significant role in photosynthetic processes. Our objective was systematic identification and analysis of the Lhc family in cotton, as well as the relationship between Lhc family genes and chlorophyll synthesis during photosynthetic processes. We used genome-wide identification, phylogenetic analysis, chromosomal distribution and collinearity to examine potential functions of Lhc superfamily genes in upland cotton. Subcellular localization, qRT-PCR, a yeast two hybrid (Y2H) , and Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) experiment were used to explore function of GhLhcb2.3. Focusing on GhLhc family, gene structural analysis of G. hirsutum Lhc family genes (GhLhc) indicated the conservation of selected Lhc family members. The expression pattern of GhLhc proteins shows that Lhc family proteins are important for photosynthetic processes in leaves. Results of subcellular localization and qRT-PCR in different cotton varieties showed that GhLhcb2.3 is closely related to chloroplast chlorophyll. Y2H found extensive heteromeric interactions between the GhLhcb2.3 and GhLhcb1.4. Subcellular localization revealed that GhLhcb1.4 is located in chloroplasts. VIGS showed that GhLhcb2.3 influenced chlorophyll a synthesis. We comprehensively identified Lhc family genes in cotton, characterized these genes and reveal the influence of GhLhcb2.3 on chlorophyll a synthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IBI362 (LY3305677) is a novel weekly-dose glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist being developed for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aim of this randomised, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose phase 1b study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of IBI362 in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity. METHODS This study enrolled adults with overweight (body mass index [BMI]≥24 kg/m2) accompanied by hyperphagia and/or at least one comorbidity or obesity (BMI≥28 kg/m2) from six study centres in China. Eligible participants were randomised 2:1 to receive once-weekly subcutaneous injection of IBI362 or placebo in each of the three ascending dose cohorts for 12 weeks with additional 8 weeks of safety follow-up. The dose-escalation regimens were: 3.0 mg cohort (1.0 mg weeks 1-4; 2.0 mg weeks 5-8; 3.0 mg weeks 9-12); 4.5 mg cohort (1.5 mg weeks 1-4; 3.0 mg weeks 5-8; 4.5 mg weeks 9-12); 6.0 mg cohort (2.0 mg weeks 1-4; 4.0 mg weeks 5-8; 6.0 mg weeks 9-12). The participants, investigators and study site personnel involved in treating and assessing participants within each cohort were masked to treatment allocation. The primary endpoints were safety and tolerability of IBI362. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04440345. FINDINGS Between June 15th, 2020 and January 15th, 2021, 12 participants were enrolled and randomised in each cohort. Throughout the study, no participant discontinued the treatment due to safety reason and no serious adverse event was reported. Gastrointestinal adverse events and decreased appetite were the most common adverse events and mostly mild in severity. Three participants receiving IBI362 reported mild and asymptomatic cardiac disorders revealed by electrocardiogram. Estimated percent changes in mean body weight from baseline to week 12 were -4.81% (95%CI -6.61 to -3.02), -6.40% (-8.23 to -4.58) and -6.05% (-7.91 to -4.18) for participants receiving IBI362 in the 3.0 mg, 4.5 mg and 6.0 mg cohort, respectively, compared with 0.60% (-0.86 to 2.07) for those receiving placebo. INTERPRETATION IBI362 was well tolerated and showed a body weight-lowering effect in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity. FUNDING Innovent Biologics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Bax inhibitor-1(BI-1)on calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs). METHODS VSMCs were isolated from the thoracic aorta of SD rats.VSMCs or BI-1-overexpressing VSMCs(transfected with a BI-1-overexpressing plasmid) were cultured in normal medium or calcified medium containing β-glycerophosphate and calcium chloride, and the cell calcification was examined with Alizarin red staining.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the intracellular calcium content and alkaline phosphatase activity.The expression levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and caspase-3 were detected with Western blotting. RESULTS After 14 days of culture in the calcified medium, the VSMCs showed significantly reduced expression of BI-1 protein(P=0.001).BI-1 overexpression in the VSMCs caused a significant reduction of calcium level and alkaline phosphatase activities(P=0.0006) and lowered the expression levels of RUNX2 and BMP-2 (P=0.0001) in the cells.The VSMCs with induced calcification exhibited a significantly increased apoptosis rate, but BI-1 overexpression obviously inhibited VSMC apoptosis in the calcified medium (P=0.0003). CONCLUSION BI-1 may attenuate vascular calcification by inhibiting calcium deposition, osteogenic differentiation and apoptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the effects of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-16 on the proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer (CC) cells and its related regulatory mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The downstream regulatory targets of miR-16 were analyzed based on the miRNA online database. HCC94 cells were selected as experimental objects. Subsequently, the cells were transfected with miR-16 mimic (miR-16 mimic group), miR-16 small interfering RNA (siRNA) (miR-16 siRNA group) and only Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent [blank control group and miR-16 normal control (NC) group]. The expression level of miR-16 in HCC94 cells was measured via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining assay and flow cytometry were then conducted to detect the effects of miR-16 on the viability, proliferation and apoptosis of HCC94 cells, respectively. Additionally, the effect of miR-16 on the protein expression level of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) in HCC94 cells was determined via Western blotting. RESULTS MiRNA online database analysis showed that KRAS was the downstream target of miR-16. Compared with miR-16 NC group, the viability and proliferation ability of HCC94 cells increased significantly in miR-16 siRNA group but decreased significantly in miR-16 mimic group (p<0.05). However, the apoptosis rate evidently declined in miR-16 siRNA group while increased remarkably in miR-16 mimic group (p<0.05). In addition, the protein expression level of KRAS in HCC94 cells was significantly higher in miR-16 siRNA group but significantly lower in miR-16 mimic group when compared with miR-16 NC group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS MiR-16 is lowly expressed in HCC94 cells. Moreover, highly expressed miR-16 represses the viability and proliferation of HCC94 cells and promotes their apoptosis by targeted regulation on KRAS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glioblastoma is a common intracranial malignancy that is extremely harmful to human life and health. Various microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the progression of glioblastoma, except miR-381. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the role of miR-381 in glioblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression of miR-381 and LEF1 (lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1) was quantified using quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. Transwell and Dual-Luciferase reporter assays were used to investigate the regulatory mechanism of miR-381/LEF1 in glioblastoma. RESULTS Downregulation of miR-381 was observed in A172 cells. In addition, the overexpression of miR-381 restrained migration and invasion of glioblastoma cells. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-381 inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in A172 cells. Further, miR-381 was confirmed to directly target LEF1 and negatively regulates its expression in glioblastoma cells. Downregulation of LEF1 also inhibited cell migration, invasion, and EMT in glioblastoma cells. More importantly, the upregulation of LEF1 abolished the inhibitory effect of miR-381 in glioblastoma cells. CONCLUSIONS MiR-381 inhibits cell metastasis and EMT in glioblastoma by suppressing LEF1 expression.

Abstract
The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, is an economically valuable aquaculture species. Prior to sale, farmed crabs are often fattened with pellet feed or wild fish. In this study, PacBio Sequel sequencing was used to determine the bacterial flora in the intestinal tracts and gill tissues of male and female E. sinensis fed with various diets. The flora was then compared with the microorganisms found in environmental samples. The results showed that Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum in both tissue and environmental samples. The relative abundances of Proteobacteria in the water grass surface flushing samples and water grass samples were the highest, at up to 95.68% and 67.85%, respectively. Beyond that, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Tenericutes were the dominant phyla (>1%) in the intestinal samples, whereas Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were the dominant phyla in the gills. In addition, different environment samples contained diverse bacterial phyla, indicating some differences in the community composition between the different sample groups. Heat map clustering and principal coordinate plot analyses indicated that intestinal samples, crab gill samples, and environmental samples clustered together, respectively. Furthermore, an unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean technique confirmed that the intestinal and gill samples of crabs with different diets separately clustered together, suggesting the microbial assemblages of the same tissues share a greater similarity than those from crabs of different sex and eating different diets. What's more, biomarker bacteria (LDA ≥ 4) from the different groups were identified. Pathogenic agents from the genus Aeromonas were abundant in the intestinal samples of crabs fed with pellet feed, and Vibrio species were prevalent in the intestinal samples of crabs fed with wild fishes.
