Abstract
Background To observe the basic metabolic characteristics of obese patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and observe and compare the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and metformin treatment after 3 months. Methods In January to December 2018, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University selected 104 women who were classified as obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 kg/cm2 or higher and had PCOS. They were divided into obese PCOS group (53 cases) and obese non-PCOS group (51 cases). Results 1. There was no significant difference in waist circumference and WHR between patients who are obese with PCOS and patients who are obese without PCOS (P > 0.05). Obese PCOS patients were significantly higher in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), LH/FSH, T, FAI, homa-ir, triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), Apo-B and uric acid than the group of non-PCOS patients who were obese. (P<0.05). The SHBG levels of obese patients with PCOS were obviously lower when contrasted with the levels in obese patients without PCOS (P < 0.05). 2. Body weight, BMI, INS, homa-ir and TG of obese PCOS patients were significantly decreased 3 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy compared with that before surgery (P < 0.05). After three months of medical treatment with metformin, the patients' homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was obviously reduced when contrasted with the pre-treatment HOMA-IR levels (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the improvement degree of homa-ir between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions 1. Obese patients with PCOS demonstrated higher expression of AMH, LH/FSH, T, SHBG, and FAI when contrasted with the control group. Additionally, they experienced more severe insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disorders. 2. The weight and BMI of obese PCOS patients were significantly decreased after weight loss, while IR and blood lipid were significantly improved, while IR was improved in metformin group, and no significant discrepancy was observed in the degree of improvement of insulin resistance between both groups.

Abstract
The modification and recognition of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) are involved in the initiation and progression of various tumor types. However, the precise role and potential mechanism of Y-box-binding protein 1 (YBX1) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. Here, it is found that YBX1 is frequently upregulated in ESCC compared with matched nontumor tissues. Gain- and loss-of-function assays show that YBX1 promoted the proliferation and metastasis of ESCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Functional studies revealed that NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase family member 2 (NSUN2) is a critical RNA methyltransferase that facilitates YBX1-mediated ESCC progression. Mechanistically, integrated analysis based on RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) and m5C methylated RNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing (MeRIP-seq) assays identified spermine oxidase (SMOX) as a target gene containing an m5C site in its coding sequence (CDS) region, which coincided well with the binding site of YBX1. Overexpression of SMOX-WT but not SMOX-Mut partially restored the proliferation and invasion ability of ESCC cells curbed by YBX1 knockdown. Moreover, YBX1 activated the mTORC1 signaling pathway by stabilizing SMOX mRNA. The study reveals that YBX1 promotes ESCC development by stabilizing SMOX mRNA in an m5C-dependent manner, thus providing a valuable therapeutic target for ESCC.

Abstract
Oropharyngeal microbiomes play a significant role in the susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, yet the role of these microbiomes play for the development of COVID-19 Omicron variant have not been reported. A total of 791 pharyngeal swab samples were prospectively included in this study, including 297 confirmed cases of Omicron variant (CCO), 222 confirmed case of Omicron who recovered (CCOR), 73 confirmed cases of original strain (CCOS) and 199 healthy controls (HC). All samples completed MiSeq sequencing. The results showed that compared with HC, conditional pathogens increased in CCO, while acid-producing bacteria decreased. Based on six optimal oropharyngeal operational taxonomy units (OTUs), we constructed a marker microbial classifier to distinguish between patients with Omicron variant and healthy people, and achieved high diagnostic efficiency in both the discovery queue and the verification queue. At same time, we introduced a group of cross-age infection verification cohort and Omicron variant subtype XBB.1.5 branch, which can be accurately distinguished by this diagnostic model. We also analyzed the characteristics of oropharyngeal microbiomes in two subgroups of Omicron disease group-severity of infection and vaccination times, and found that the change of oropharyngeal microbiomes may affect the severity of the disease and the efficacy of the vaccine. In addition, we found that some genera with significant differences gradually increased or decreased with the recovery of Omicron variant infection. The results of Spearman analysis showed that 27 oropharyngeal OTUs were closely related to 6 clinical indexes in CCO and HC. Finally, we found that the Omicron variant had different characterization of oropharyngeal microbiomes from the original strain. Our research characterizes oropharyngeal microbiomes of Omicron variant cases and rehabilitation cases, successfully constructed and verified the non-invasive diagnostic model of Omicron variant, described the correlation between microbial OTUs and clinical indexes. It was found that the infection of Omicron variant and the infection of original strain have different characteristics of oropharyngeal microbiomes.

Abstract
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is a type of secondary vascular disease of the liver that is mainly associated with the ingestion of pyrrole alkaloids (PAs) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) treatment, resulting in severe liver dysfunction, multiple organ failure, and even death. Hepatic sinusoidal dilatation and obstruction, hepatocyte coagulative necrosis, and hepatic lobular inflammation are the main pathological manifestations of HSOS. The key initiating process for the pathogenesis of HSOS is damage to liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). Currently, it is believed that LSECs are damaged by the involvement of multiple etiologies and mechanisms, and secondary coagulation and fibrinolysis disorders, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses are the occurrence contributors to HSOS; however, the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the role of immune-inflammatory mechanisms has received increasing attention in LSEC damage. This article provides an overview of the epidemiology, etiology, and pathological changes of HSOS and reviews the physiological functions, common etiological damage mechanisms, and the key role of LSEC damage in the pathogenesis of HSOS, with a special focus on the role and research progress of immune-inflammatory mechanisms for LSEC damage in recent years. Furthermore, we believe that in-depth study and elucidation of the role of immune-inflammatory mechanisms in LSEC damage and the pathogenesis of HSOS and diagnosis will provide feasible research and development ideas for the screening and identification of new markers and drug treatment targets for HSOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SARS-CoV-2 infections usually cause immune dysregulation in the human body. Studies of immunological changes resulting from coinfections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) or HIV are limited. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study focusing on patients with COVID-19. A total of 550 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 were enrolled in our study and categorized into four groups based on the presence of coinfections; 166 Delta-infected patients, among whom 103 patients had no coinfections, 52 who were coinfected with Mtb, 11 who were coinfected with HIV, and 384 Omicron-infected patients. By collecting data on epidemiologic information, laboratory findings, treatments, and clinical outcomes, we analyzed and compared clinical and immunological characteristics. RESULTS Compared with those in the Delta group, the median white blood cell, CD4 + T-cell and B-cell counts were lower in the Mtb group and the HIV group. Except for those in the Omicron group, more than half of the patients in the three groups had abnormal chest CT findings. Among the three groups, there were no significant differences in any of the cytokines. Compared with those in the Delta group, the disease duration and LOS were longer in the Mtb group and the HIV group. For unvaccinated Delta-infected patients, in the Mtb and HIV groups, the number of B cells and CD4 + T cells was lower than that in the Delta group, with no significant difference in the LOS or disease duration. In the Mtb group, three (6%) patients presented with a disease duration greater than four months and had decreased lymphocyte and IL17A counts, possibly due to double infections in the lungs caused by SARS-CoV-2 and M. tuberculosis. CONCLUSIONS We found that SARS-CoV-2 patients coinfected with Mtb or HIV exhibited a longer disease duration and longer LOS, with a decrease in B cells and CD4 + T cells, suggesting that these cells are related to immune function. Changes in cytokine levels suggest that coinfection with Mtb or HIV does not result in dysregulation of the immune response. Importantly, we discovered a chronic course of coinfection involving more than four months of Mtb and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) represents a significant microvascular complication in diabetes, entailing intricate molecular pathways and mechanisms associated with cardiorenal vascular diseases. Prolonged hyperglycemia induces renal endothelial dysfunction and damage via metabolic abnormalities, inflammation, and oxidative stress, thereby compromising hemodynamics. Concurrently, fibrotic and sclerotic alterations exacerbate glomerular and tubular injuries. At a macro level, reciprocal communication between the renal microvasculature and systemic circulation establishes a pernicious cycle propelling disease progression. The current management approach emphasizes rigorous control of glycemic levels and blood pressure, with renin-angiotensin system blockade conferring renoprotection. Novel antidiabetic agents exhibit renoprotective effects, potentially mediated through endothelial modulation. Nonetheless, emerging therapies present novel avenues for enhancing patient outcomes and alleviating the disease burden. A precision-based approach, coupled with a comprehensive strategy addressing global vascular risk, will be pivotal in mitigating the cardiorenal burden associated with diabetes.

Abstract
Metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer-related deaths among the patients. The transformation of epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells with molecular alterations can occur during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The EMT mechanism accelerates the cancer metastasis and drug resistance ability in human cancers. Among the different regulators of EMT, Wnt/β-catenin axis has been emerged as a versatile modulator. Wnt is in active form in physiological condition due to the function of GSK-3β that destructs β-catenin, while ligand-receptor interaction impairs GSK-3β function to increase β-catenin stability and promote its nuclear transfer. Regarding the oncogenic function of Wnt/β-catenin, its upregulation occurs in human cancers and it can accelerate EMT-mediated metastasis and drug resistance. The stimulation of Wnt by binding Wnt ligands into Frizzled receptors can enhance β-catenin accumulation in cytoplasm that stimulates EMT and related genes upon nuclear translocation. Wnt/β-catenin/EMT axis has been implicated in augmenting metastasis of both solid and hematological tumors. The Wnt/EMT-mediated cancer metastasis promotes the malignant behavior of tumor cells, causing therapy resistance. The Wnt/β-catenin/EMT axis can be modulated by upstream mediators in which non-coding RNAs are main regulators. Moreover, pharmacological intervention, mainly using phytochemicals, suppresses Wnt/EMT axis in metastasis suppression.

Abstract
Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) is a pelagic piscivore distributed circumglobally. Owing to its great market value, the growth mechanism of S. lalandi, including muscle development and growth, is a hot research topic. The myoblast determination protein (MyoD) gene has been shown to play an important role in formation of myoblasts and the function of somites in fish. The open reading frame (ORF) sequences of MyoD1 and MyoD2 in S. lalandi encoded 298 and 263 amino acids possessing three common characteristic domains, respectively, containing a myogenic basic domain, a bHLH domain, and a ser-rich region (helix III). S. lalandi MyoDs shared the highest identity with the MyoDs of S. dumerili. MyoDs are highly expressed in white muscle (P < 0.05) in S. lalandi. The expression level of MyoD1 mRNA was higher than that of MyoD2 mRNA during embryonic and early developmental stages, indicating that the two MyoD isoforms may have different roles in muscle formation. Moreover, the mRNA expression of MyoDs in the brain, pituitary, liver and muscle of endocrine growth axis were analyzed in the various sizes and ages stages. The expression levels of MyoDs in the different sizes and ages of S. lalandi showed that expression of both these genes was particularly high in 400-g fish and 2-year-old fish (P < 0.05). Moreover, the increases in the mRNA expression and plasma levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) were accompanied by an increase in mRNA expression of MyoDs, indicating the roles of GH and IGF-I in muscle development and growth of S. lalandi. Overall, the expression profiles of genes associated with muscle development are the first step taken towards deciphering fast growth mechanism in this important Seriola fish.

Abstract
Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) is a key physiological process that maintains the homeostasis of mitochondrial quality and quantity. Monitoring mitophagy is of great significance for detecting cellular abnormalities and developing therapeutic drugs. However, there are still very few biomarkers specifically developed for monitoring mitophagy. Here, we propose for the first time that mitochondrial G-quadruplex may serve as a biomarker for mitophagy detection, and develope a fluorescent light-up probe AMTC to monitor mitophagy in live cells. During mitophagy, AMTC fluorescence is significantly enhanced, but once mitophagy is inhibited, its fluorescence immediately decreases. The fluorescence behavior of AMTC implicates an increase in the formation of mitochondrial G-quadruplex during mitophagy. This inference has also been supported by the other two G-quadruplex probes. Taken together, this work provides a new possible biomarker and detection tool for the study of mitophagy.

Abstract
Centromeres are essential chromosomal landmarks that dictate the point of attachment between chromosomes and spindle microtubules during cell division. The stable transmission of the centromere site through generations is ensured by a unique chromatin containing the histone H3 variant CENP-A. Previous studies have highlighted the impact of transcription on promoting CENP-A deposition. However, the specific sequences undergoing this transcription and their contribution to centromere function in metazoan systems remain elusive. In this study, we unveil the centromeric transcriptional landscape and explore its correlation with CENP-A in D. melanogaster, currently the only in vivo model with assembled centromeres. We find that the centromere-enriched retroelement G2/Jockey-3 (hereafter referred to as Jockey-3) is a major driver of centromere transcription, producing RNAs that localize to all mitotic centromeres, with the Y centromere showing the most transcription. Taking advantage of the polymorphism of Jockey-3, we show that these RNAs remain associated with their cognate DNA sequences in cis. Using a LacI/lacO system to generate de novo centromeres, we find that Jockey-3 transcripts do not localize to ectopic sites, suggesting they are unlikely to function as non-coding RNAs with a structural role at centromeres. At de novo centromeres on the lacO array, the presence of CENP-A augments the detection of exogenous lacO-derived transcripts specifically in metaphase. We propose that Jockey-3 contributes to the epigenetic maintenance of the centromere by promoting chromatin transcription, while inserting in a region that permits its continuous transmission. Given the conservation of retroelements as centromere components across taxa, our findings have broad implications in understanding this widespread association.

Abstract
The length of stay (LOS) in hospital varied considerably in different patients with COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. The study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics of Omicron patients, identify prognostic factors, and develop a prognostic model to predict the LOS of Omicron patients. This was a single center retrospective study in a secondary medical institution in China. A total of 384 Omicron patients in China were enrolled. According to the analyzed data, we employed LASSO to select the primitive predictors. The predictive model was constructed by fitting a linear regression model using the predictors selected by LASSO. Bootstrap validation was used to test performance and eventually we obtained the actual model. Among these patients, 222 (57.8%) were female, the median age of patients was 18 years and 349 (90.9%) completed two doses of vaccination. Patients on admission diagnosed as mild were 363 (94.5%). Five variables were selected by LASSO and a linear model, and those with P < 0.05 were integrated into the analysis. It shows that if Omicron patients receive immunotherapy or heparin, the LOS increases by 36% or 16.1%. If Omicron patients developed rhinorrhea or occur familial cluster, the LOS increased by 10.4% or 12.3%, respectively. Moreover, if Omicron patients' APTT increased by one unit, the LOS increased by 0.38%. Five variables were identified, including immunotherapy, heparin, familial cluster, rhinorrhea, and APTT. A simple model was developed and evaluated to predict the LOS of Omicron patients. The formula is as follows: Predictive LOS = exp(1*2.66263 + 0.30778*Immunotherapy + 0.1158*Familiar cluster + 0.1496*Heparin + 0.0989*Rhinorrhea + 0.0036*APTT).

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the leading cause of diabetes worldwide and is increasing rapidly, especially in youth. It accounts for most diabetes deaths in adults ≥20 years old in the Americas, with type 2 diabetes responsible for most of the disease burden. The incidence and burden of type 2 diabetes in adolescents and young adults have risen in recent decades globally. Countries with lower socioeconomic status had the highest incidence and burden, and females generally had higher mortality and disease burden than males at ages <30 years. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to delaying progression, but current diagnostic criteria based on glucose thresholds and glycated hemoglobin have limitations. Recent analyses show that prediabetes increases cancer risk. Better diagnostic criteria are urgently needed to identify high-risk individuals earlier. This article discusses the limitations of current criteria and explores alternative approaches and future research directions.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiotherapy is the main treatment for esophageal cancer. Previous studies have shown that radiotherapy not only kills tumor cells directly, but also reshapes the immune microenvironment of the tumor. It has been reported an increase in the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) can occur in tumor tissue after ionizing radiation. Exosomes are mediators of intercellular information exchange and are also involved in the regulation of the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we wanted to understand whether MDSC in esophageal cancer tissue are involved in the regulation of tumor cell response to ionizing radiation via exosomes. MATERIALS/METHODS KYSE-150 was used to construct a subcutaneous transplantation tumor model in nude mice. And then mice irradiated with 5 Gy×5fx and 0 Gy×5fx respectively. After irradiation, the spleens of the mice were used to isolate MDSC, and collect the cell supernatants to extract the exosomes. Based on the exosomes, we divided the experiment into three groups (control, exosomes, exosomes+radiation). Exosomes were injected into a nude mouse model of esophageal cancer via the tail vein or co-cultured with KYSE-150 cells. Mice were irradiated with a 5 Gy×5fx after completion of injection, and KYSE-150 cells were irradiated with a single dose 4 Gy. After radiation, KYSE-150 cells were used to detect cell cloning, apoptosis and cell cycle by flow cytometry, cell proliferation by CCK 8. XRCC4,XRCC5,XRCC6,γH2AX,ATM expression in cells and tumor tissue were measured by Western blot and RT-PCR. RESULTS The tumor volume was significantly reduced after 5 Gy x 5fx radiation. When exosomes co-cultured with KYSE-150 cells, decrease in apoptosis and increase in cell cloning and cell proliferation were found in the exosomes+radiation group and exosomes group after radiation when compared with the control group, with this change being more pronounced in the exosome+radiation group. The results of the cell cycle assay showed that after ionizing radiation, the proportion of cells in the G0/G1 phase was significantly lower, and the proportion of cells in the S and G2/M phases were significantly higher in the exosomes+radiation group and exosomes group when compared to the Control group. The protein and mRNA expression of XRCC4,XRCC5,XRCC6,γH2AX,ATM in cells were increased in exosomes+radiation group and exosomes group after radiation when compared with the control group, with this change being more obvious in the exosome+radiation group. After irradiation, tumor volumes were measured in nude mice and the results showed that exosomes+radiation group tumors were the largest in volume, while the control group regressed most significantly after irradiation. CONCLUSION MDSC-derived exosomes have a tumor growth-promoting effect in esophageal squamous carcinoma, which is enhanced by ionizing radiation, and this may be related to the accelerated repair of damage in tumor tissue after radiation.

However, Rab7-related transport elements showed genetic differences between vertebrates and invertebrates, making the mechanism of lysosomal motility mysterious. We suggested that Rab7 interacted with RILP as a feature of highly evolved organisms since they could interact with each other in Spodoptera frugiperda but not in Drosophila melanogaster. The N-terminus of Sf-RILP was identified to be necessary for their interaction, and Glu61 was supposed to be the key point for the stability of the interaction. A GC-rich domain on the C-terminal parts of Sf-RILP hampered the expression of Sf-RILP and its interaction with Sf-Rab7. Although the corresponding vital amino acids in the mammalian model at the C-terminus of Sf-RILP turned to be neutral, the C-terminus would also help with the homologous interactions between RILP fragments in insects. The significantly different interactions in invertebrates shed light on the biodiversity and complexity of lysosomal motility.

Abstract
NSUN2 is a nuclear RNA methyltransferase which catalyzes 5-methylcytosine (m5C), a posttranscriptional RNA modification. Aberrant m5C modification has been implicated in the development of multiple malignancies. However, its function in pancreatic cancer (PC) needs to be elucidated. Herein, we determined that NSUN2 was overexpressed in PC tissues and related to aggressive clinical features. Silence of NSUN2 by lentivirus weakened the capability of proliferation, migration and invasion of PC cells in vitro and inhibited the growth and metastasis of xenograft tumors in vivo. Contrarily, overexpression of NSUN2 stimulated PC growth and metastasis. Mechanistically, m5C-sequencing (m5C-seq) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) were carried out to identify downstream targets of NSUN2 and results showed that loss of NSUN2 led to decreased m5C modification level concomitant with reduced TIAM2 mRNA expression. Further validation experiments proved that NSUN2 silence accelerated the decay of TIAM2 mRNA in a YBX1-dependent manner. Additionally, NSUN2 exerted its oncogenic function partially through enhancing TIAM2 transcription. More importantly, disruption of the NSUN2/TIAM2 axis repressed the malignant phenotype of PC cells through blocking epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Collectively, our study highlighted the critical function of NSUN2 in PC and provided novel mechanistic insights into NSUN2/TIAM2 axis as promising therapeutic targets against PC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and feasibility of performing right colectomy via a transvaginal approach. Methods: This was a retrospeltive cohort study. Data of 30 patients who had undergone transvaginal laparoscopic right colectomy (transvaginal group) and 23 women who had undergone laparoscopic right colectomy (laparoscopic group) from January 2019 to March 2022 in the Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital were collected retrospectively. The inclusion criteria for the transvaginal group were as follows: (1) post-menopausal woman; (2) transverse diameter of the tumor < 6 cm; and (3) diagnosis of benign polyps that were unresectable by endoscopy, mucinous tumors of the appendix, or confirmed right colon cancer not requiring D3 lymphadenectomy. The inclusion criteria for the laparoscopic group were as follows: (1) pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma or high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia; (2) lesion located from the cecum to the right third of the transverse colon; and (3) clinically stage T1-4NanyM0. The exclusion criteria for the laparoscopic group were as follows: (1) distant metastasis discovered during surgical exploration; (2) multiple organ resection required or R0 resection not possible; or (3) conversion to open surgery required. Safety was evaluated on the basis of intra- and post-operative complications. Feasibility was assessed by postoperative recovery and quality of operative specimen. The body mass index was lower in the transvaginal than the laparoscopic group (22.0±3.1 kg/m2 vs. 24.1±2.6 kg/m2, t=2.617, P=0.012). Results: Among the 30 transvaginal laparoscopic right colectomies, 26 were pure transvaginal surgeries, three required laparoscopic assistance because of difficulties with anastomosis (n=2) or abdominal adhesions (n=1), and one required conversion to laparoscopic surgery because of vascular injury. Compared with the laparoscopic group, the transvaginal group had a longer surgery time (175.0 [147.5, 216.3] minutes vs. 120.0 [100.0, 120.0] minutes, U=63.000, P<0.001) and more blood loss (30.0 [10.0, 50.0] ml vs. 23.0 [10.0, 20.0] ml, U=208.000, P=0.011). The incidence of intraoperative complications (16.7% [5/30) vs. 0, P=0.061] was comparable between the two groups. In the transvaginal group, the sites of intraoperative injuries were bladder (n=3), ileocecal artery (n=1), and right uterine artery (n=1). The incidence of postoperative complications (20.0% [6/30] vs. 17.4% [4/23], χ2<0.001,P>0.999) was also comparable between the two groups. Clavien-Dindo grade III postoperative complications occurred in two patients in the transvaginal group (one patient had a pelvic hematoma that required embolization; the other had a vesico-vaginal fistula that required surgery). Postoperative visual analogue scale scores were significantly lower (P<0.001) in the transvaginal group. Times to first flatus, ambulation, and first intake and duration of postoperative hospital stay were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of specimens of moderate quality was 83.3% (25/30) in the transvaginal group and 100% (23/23) in the laparoscopic group; this difference is not significant (P=0.061). Among patients who underwent D2 lymph node dissection, the number of lymph nodes examined was comparable between the transvaginal (n=23) and laparoscopic groups (n=7) (18 [15, 27] vs. 20 [16, 29], U=69.500, P=0.589). Conclusion: Transvaginal right colon surgery is associated with less postoperative pain than laparoscopic surgery, but is not yet the preferred alternative because of the incidence of surgical complications.

Abstract
Lipids are main energy source for insects reproduction, which are becoming emerging target for pest management. Azadirachtin (AZA) is a multi-targeted and promising botanical insecticide, but its reproduction toxicity mechanism related to lipids metabolism is poorly understood. Here, we applied lipidomic and transcriptomic to provide a comprehensive resource for describing the effect of AZA on lipids remodeling in ovary of Spodoptera litura. The results showed that AZA exposure obviously altered the contents of 130 lipids subclasses (76 upregulated and 54 downregulated). In detail, AZA exposure changed the length and saturation degrees of fatty acyl chain of most glycerolipid, phospholipid and sphingolipid as well as the expression of genes related to biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and fatty acids elongation. Besides, following the abnormal lipids metabolism, western blot analysis suggested that AZA induce insulin resistance-like phenotypes by inhibiting insulin receptor substrates (IRS) /PI3K/AKT pathway, which might be responsible for the ovary abnormalities of S. litura. Collectively, our study provided insights into the lipids metabolism event in S. litura underlying AZA exposure, these key metabolites and genes identified in this study would also provide important reference for pest control in future.

Abstract
Background: Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is implicated in cancer occurrence and progression. Targeting UPS is emerging as a promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, the clinical significance of UPS in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been entirely elucidated. Methods: Differentially expressed UPS genes (DEUPS) were screened from LIHC-TCGA datasets. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and stepwise multivariate regression analysis were conducted to establish a UPS-based prognostic risk model. The robustness of the risk model was further validated in HCCDB18, GSE14520, and GSE76427 cohorts. Subsequently, immune features, clinicopathologic characteristics, enrichment pathways, and anti-tumor drug sensitivity of the model were further evaluated. Moreover, a nomogram was established to improve the predictive ability of the risk model. Results: Seven UPS-based signatures (ATG10, FBXL7, IPP, MEX3A, SOCS2, TRIM54, and PSMD9) were developed for the prognostic risk model. Individuals with HCC with high-risk scores presented a more dismal prognosis than those with low-risk scores. Moreover, larger tumor size, advanced TNM stage, and tumor grade were observed in the high-risk group. Additionally, cell cycle, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, and DNA repair pathways were intimately linked to the risk score. In addition, obvious immune cell infiltration and sensitive drug response were identified in low-risk patients. Furthermore, both nomogram and risk score showed a significant prognosis-predictive ability. Conclusion: Overall, we established a novel UPS-based prognostic risk model in HCC. Our results will facilitate a deep understanding of the functional role of UPS-based signature in HCC and provide a reliable prediction of clinical outcomes and anti-tumor drug responses for patients with HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post radiation nasopharyngeal necrosis (PRNN) invading the internal carotid artery (ICA) contributes to the death of 69.2-72.7% of PRNN patients. ICA occlusion is an effective treatment to avoid fatal bleeding, while some patients are intolerant. We present a novel method that allows for these patients without interrupting blood flow through the ICA. METHODOLOGY This study enrolled patients with PRNN-invaded ICA who were not suitable for ICA occlusion from April 2020 to November 2022. ICA stent pretreatment was performed in the 36 patients and followed the endoscopic nasopharyngectomy (ENPG) or conservative treatment for PRNN. We report the survival outcome and incidence of complications after stent implantation and compare the survival outcomes of ENPG and conservative treatment for PRNN followed by stent implantation. RESULTS ICA stent pretreatment was performed in the 36 enrolled patients, among which 14 underwent ENPG, and 22 received conservative treatment. 27.8% patients died after a median follow-up of 15 months. The Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survival were higher in the ENPG group than in the conservative treatment group. Karnofsky performance status (KPS) was significantly higher in the ENPG group than in the non-ENPG group. CONCLUSIONS The innovative application of ICA stents is a promising treatment to improve outcomes in patients with PRNN invading the ICA who are unsuitable for ICA embolization, especially when followed by endoscopic surgery. However, methods to avoid postoperative cerebral ischemia and nasopharyngeal hemorrhage still require further study.

Abstract
Background: Recent studies highlighted the functional role of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) catalyzing the methylation of protein arginine in malignant progression of various tumors. Stratification the subtypes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is fundamental for exploring effective treatment strategies. Here, we aim to conduct a comprehensive analysis of PRMTs with bioinformatic tools to identify novel biomarkers for HCC subtypes classification and prognosis prediction, which may be potential ideal targets for therapeutic intervention. Methods: The expression profiling of PRMTs in HCC tissues was evaluated based on the data of TCGA-LIHC cohort, and further validated in HCC TMA cohort and HCC cell lines. HCC was systematically classified based on PRMT family related genes. Subsequently, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between molecular subtypes were identified, and prognostic risk model were constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Cox regression analysis to evaluate the prognosis, gene mutation, clinical features, immunophenotype, immunotherapeutic effect and antineoplastic drug sensitivity of HCC. Results: PRMTs expression was markedly altered both in HCC tissues and HCC cell lines. Three molecular subtypes with distinct immunophenotype were generated. 11 PRMT-related genes were enrolled to establish prognostic model, which presented with high accuracy in predicting the prognosis of two risk groups in the training, validation, and immunotherapy cohort, respectively. Additionally, the two risk groups showed significant difference in immunotherapeutic efficacy. Further, the sensitivity of 72 anticancer drugs was identified using prognostic risk model. Conclusion: In summary, our findings stratified HCC into three subtypes based on the PRMT-related genes. The prognostic model established in this work provide novel insights into the exploration of related therapeutic approaches in treating HCC.

Abstract
Background The continued 'evolution' of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to the emergence of the Omicron variant after the Delta variant, resulting in a significant increase in the number of people with COVID-19. This increase in the number of cases continues to have a significant impact on lives. Therefore, a more detailed understanding of the clinical characteristics of Omicron infection is essential. Methods Using medical charts, we extracted clinical information for 384 patients infected with the Omicron variant in Anyang City, Henan Province, China. Epidemiology and clinical characteristics were compared with a cohort of people infected with the Delta variant in Zhengzhou in 2021. Findings Common initial symptoms at onset of illness were cough [240 (63%)], expectoration [112 (29%)], fever [96 (25%)], nasal congestion [96 (25%)] and myalgia or fatigue [30 (6%)]. In patients with the Omicron variant, levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and creatinine increased in 52 (14%), 36 (9%) and 58 (15%) patients, respectively, compared with patients with the Delta variant [one (1%), one (1%) and two (2%)]. Levels of triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein also increased. In patients with the Omicron variant, the levels of specific gravity and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate were increased in 115 (30%) and 81 (21%) patients, and serum levels of complement 3 decreased in 93 (41%). Results Compared with patients infected with Delta, no major differences in initial clinical symptoms were identified in patients infected with Omicron. However, dyslipidemia and kidney injury were much more severe in patients with the Omicron variant, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was increased. Due to decreased levels of complement 3, the immunity of patients with the Omicron variant was weak.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The 2018 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) cholesterol guideline provides recommendations for lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) including statins, ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor (PCSK9i) to prevent recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events in adults with established ASCVD. Many adults with ASCVD who are recommended to take statins, ezetimibe and/or PCSK9i do not receive these medications.
Purpose
To estimate the number of recurrent ASCVD events potentially prevented by population-wide use of guideline recommended LLT following a myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods
We simulated the population-wide impact of receipt of 2018 AHA/ACC cholesterol guideline recommended LLT over 3 and 5 years among US adults with government health insurance through Medicare or commercial health insurance following hospital discharge for MI. We used data from patients with an MI hospitalization in 2018–2019 to estimate the percentage receiving guideline recommended LLT defined by having the medications available to take in the 30 days after their discharge date. We used data from patients with an MI hospitalization in 2013–2016 to estimate the 3 and 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrent ASCVD events (i.e., MI, coronary revascularization or ischemic stroke). The reduction in ASCVD events associated with guideline recommended LLT was estimated from a meta-analysis by the Cholesterol-Lowering Treatment Trialists Collaboration. We conducted a sensitivity analysis estimating the number and percentage of ASCVD events prevented if LLT recommendations from the 2019 European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) cholesterol guideline were followed. We repeated all analyses with recurrent coronary heart disease (i.e., MI or coronary revascularization) and ischemic stroke events as separate outcomes.
Results
Among 279,395 adults with an MI hospitalization in 2018–2019 (mean age 75 years, 54% men, mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 92 mg/dL), 27% were receiving guideline recommended LLT. With current lipid-lowering medication use, we estimated that 70,698 (95% CI: 70,311–71,077) and 89,255 (95% CI: 88,841–89,730) ASCVD events would occur in 3 and 5 years, respectively, after MI hospital discharge (Table, top panel). If all patients were to receive 2018 AHA/ACC guideline recommended LLT, the number of ASCVD events was estimated to be reduced by 21.6%, representing 15,264 (95% CI: 14,451–16,679) events prevented over 3 years and 19,271 (95% CI: 18,245–21,055) events prevented over 5 years. A higher number of recurrent ASCVD events were estimated to be averted following the LLT recommendations of the 2019 ESC/EAS cholesterol guideline (Table, bottom panel).
Conclusions
Population-wide implementation of guideline recommended LLT in adults with an MI hospitalization could prevent a substantial number of recurrent ASCVD events.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 41 CD patients who received adalimumab in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University from January 2020 to August 2021. General clinical data, laboratory results, endoscopy and radiologic findings were collected, meanwhile, disease activity and safety events were evaluated at baseline and at 12, 24 and 48 weeks of administration. Adalimumab was given subcutaneously once every 2 weeks in doses of 160 mg for the first time, 80 mg for the second time, and 40 mg for each subsequent time. Results: The clinical remission rates at 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment were 43.9% (18/41), 60.6% (20/33), 60.9% (14/23), and the clinical response rates were 75.6% (31/41), 69.7% (23/33), and 56.5%( 13/23), respectively. The proportion of endoscopic remission at 12, 24 and 48 weeks were 4/14, 2/6, 1/4 in patients undergoing endoscopy, and 1/14 patients achieved mucosal healing at 24 weeks. Primary nonresponse rate (PNR) was 17.1% (7/41), loss of response (LOR) rate was 14.6% (6/41). The incidence of adverse reactions was 9.8%(4/41). Conclusion: Adalimumab can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms and intestinal disease activities of Crohn's disease, and deserves to be popularized clinically. Patients with disease course <2 years, first-line biologics, low baseline HBI score, and longer duration of medication may have better results.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the short-term and long-term outcomes between transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (laTME) for mid-to-low rectal cancer and to evaluate the learning curve of taTME. Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study. Firstly, consecutive patients undergoing total mesorectal excision who were registered in the prospective established database of Division of Colorectal Diseases, Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital during July 2014 to June 2020 were recruited. The enrolled patients were divided into taTME and laTME group. The demographic data, clinical characteristics, neoadjuvant treatment, intraoperative and postoperative complications, pathological results and follow-up data were extracted from the database. The primary endpoint was the incidence of anastomotic leakage and the secondary endpoints included the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and the 3-year local recurrence rate. Independent t-test for comparison between groups of normally distributed measures; skewed measures were expressed as M (range). Categorical variables were expressed as examples (%) and the χ(2) or Fisher exact probability was used for comparison between groups. When comparing the incidence of anastomotic leakage, 5 variables including sex, BMI, clinical stage evaluated by MRI, distance from tumor to anal margin evaluated by MRI, and whether receiving neoadjuvant treatment were balanced by propensity score matching (PSM) to adjust confounders. Kaplan-Meier curve and Log-rank test were used to compare the DFS of two groups. Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze and determine the independent risk factors affecting the DFS of patients with mid-low rectal cancer. Secondly, the data of consecutive patients undergoing taTME performed by the same surgical team (the trananal procedures were performed by the same main surgeon) from February 2017 to March 2021 were separately extracted and analyzed. The multidimensional cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart was used to draw the learning curve of taTME. The outcomes of 'mature' taTME cases through learning curve were compared with laTME cases and the independent risk factors of DFS of 'mature' cases were also analyzed. Results: Two hundred and forty-three patients were eventually enrolled, including 182 undergoing laTME and 61 undergoing taTME. After PSM, both fifty-two patients were in laTME group and taTME group respectively, and patients of these two groups had comparable characteristics in sex, age, BMI, clinical tumor stage, distance from tumor to anal margin by MRI, mesorectal fasciae (MRF) and extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) by MRI and proportion of receiving neoadjuvant treatment. After PSM, as compared to laTME group, taTME group showed significantly longer operation time [(198.4±58.3) min vs. (147.9±47.3) min, t=-4.321, P<0.001], higher ratio of blood loss >100 ml during surgery [17.3% (9/52) vs. 0, P=0.003], higher incidence of anastomotic leakage [26.9% (14/52) vs. 3.8% (2/52), χ(2)=10.636, P=0.001] and higher morbidity of overall postoperative complications [55.8%(29/52) vs. 19.2% (10/52), χ(2)=14.810, P<0.001]. Total harvested lymph nodes and circumferential resection margin involvement were comparable between two groups (both P>0.05). The median follow-up for the whole group was 24 (1 to 72) months, with 4 cases lost, giving a follow-up rate of 98.4% (239/243). The laTME group had significantly better 3-year DFS than taTME group (83.9% vs. 73.0%, P=0.019), while the 3-year local recurrence rate was similar in two groups (1.7% vs. 3.6%, P=0.420). Multivariate analysis showed that and taTME surgery (HR=3.202, 95%CI: 1.592-6.441, P=0.001) the postoperative pathological staging of UICC stage II (HR=13.862, 95%CI:1.810-106.150, P=0.011), stage III (HR=8.705, 95%CI: 1.104-68.670, P=0.040) were independent risk factors for 3-year DFS. Analysis of taTME learning curve revealed that surgeons would cross over the learning stage after performing 28 cases. To compare the two groups excluding the cases within the learning stage, there was no significant difference between two groups after PSM no matter in the incidence of anastomotic leakage [taTME: 6.7%(1/15); laTME: 5.3% (2/38), P=1.000] or overall complications [taTME: 33.3%(5/15), laTME: 26.3%(10/38), P=0.737]. The taTME was still an independent risk factor of 3-year DFS only analyzing patients crossing over the learning stage (HR=5.351, 95%CI:1.666-17.192, P=0.005), and whether crossing over the learning stage was not the independent risk factor of 3-year DFS for mid-low rectal cancer patients undergoing taTME (HR=0.954, 95%CI:0.227-4.017, P=0.949). Conclusions: Compared with conventional laTME, taTME may increase the risk of anastomotic leakage and compromise the oncological outcomes. Performing taTME within the learning stage may significantly increase the risk of postoperative anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
Ribosomal proteins (Rps) are indispensable in ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis, which tightly correlate with cell growth and proliferation in different physiological processes across species. Up to now, genes coding for Rps have been identified and studied in many species, however, their information still remains elusive in many insect species, especially in Spodoptera litura. In this study, 81 Rp genes were identified from S. litura genome and were mapped to their positions on the chromosomes. In addition, their physical and chemical properties, gene structure, phylogenetic relationships, targeted microRNAs were also analyzed. Gene ontology analysis disclosed that Rp genes were closely associated with processes related to ribosome biosynthesis, proteins translation processing, molecular binding activities. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed expression profiles of Rp genes varied in different stages of oogenesis, and found that most Rp genes accumulated in previtellogenesis stage. This study described the comprehensive genome-wide analysis of Rp gene family in agricultural pests, which provided foundation for further characterizing the roles of Rps in oogenesis of insects, and some Rp genes may further serve as targets for innovative pest control.

Abstract
Accelerating neutral atoms is challenging because such particles are not directly manipulated by electric and magnetic fields as charged particles. In our acceleration scheme, the excited atom requires a sufficiently high gradient acceleration force. The key challenge in laser acceleration experiments is that not only must the photon energy excite atoms to the Rydberg state, but also atoms must not be ionized in an intense laser field. In this Letter, we propose using a chirped laser pulse to achieve the objectives above. The enhancement effect of the pulse chirp on the laser acceleration of neutral particles is investigated via numerical simulation and analytical analysis.

Abstract
Azadirachtin is one of the most successful botanical pesticides in agricultural pest control. To build a repertoire of proteins and pathways in response to azadirachtin exposure during ovarian development, iTRAQ-based comparative proteomic was conducted. 1423 and 1686 proteins were identified as differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) by comparing the protein abundance in adult ovary with that in pupal ovary under normal and azadirachtin exposure condition, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that pupae-to-adult transition requires proteins related to proteasome and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) degradation for ovary development. Azadirachtin exposure strongly affected glycosylation-related pathway. And proteins related to vitamin B6 synthesis were necessary for ovary development under normal and AZA-exposure condition. RNAi assays confirmed the essential roles of DAPs related to glycosylation and vitamin B6 synthesis in moth growth and ovary development. The results enhance our understanding of the molecular regulatory network for ovary development and provide valuable resources for using AZA-responsive proteins to develop novel bio-rational insecticides.

Abstract
The purpose was to discuss the infection status of human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV-3) in children with acute respiratory tract infection(ARTI) in Qingdao, Shandong province, and to analyze the gene characteristics of HPIV-3 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein (HN). This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 1 674 throat swab samples were collected randomly from children with ARTI, in the three hospitals (Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital, West Coast Branch of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Laoshan Branch of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University) from January 2018 to December 2019. Multiplex real-time fluorescence RT-PCR was performed to screen HPIV-3 positive specimens. For HPIV-3 positive specimens, nested PCR was used to amplify the full-length HN gene of HPIV-3. The HN gene was sequenced and compared with the representative strains of HPIV-3 in GenBank, and the phylogenetic tree was established. As results, this study collected 1 674 samples, in which there were 90 HPIV-3 positive samples showed and the detection rate was 5.37%. Among positive specimens, the number of samples from children under 6 years old was 88, accounting for 97.78%. HPIV-3 positive cases were mainly distributed in spring and summer. The full-length sequences of 44 HPIV-3 HN genes were obtained by nested PCR method. Sequence alignment and evolutionary analysis showed that the HPIV-3HN gene belonged to the C3a and C3b branches of C3 genotype, with 30 strains of subtype C3a and 14 strains of subtype C3b. The nucleotide and amino acid homology of the amplified 44 strains of the HPIV-3 HN gene in Qingdao were 97.0%-100.0% and 98.5%-100.0%, respectively. In conclusion, from 2018 to 2019, the C3a and C3b branches of HPIV-3 C3 genotype were circulating prevalent in Qingdao, Shandong province. HN gene variation rate was low, but showed certain regional characteristics in evolution.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the incidence and risk factors of postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) after colon cancer surgery. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed. Patients diagnosed with colon cancer who underwent radical surgery between January 2016 and May 2021 were included, and demographic characteristics, comorbidities, laboratory tests, surgical data and postoperative complications were extracted from the specialized prospective database at Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Case exclusion criteria: (1) simultaneously multiple primary colon cancer; (2) segmental resection, subtotal colectomy, or total colectomy; (3) patients undergoing colostomy/ileostomy during the operation or in the state of colostomy/ileostomy before the operation; (4) patients receiving natural orifice specimen extraction surgery or transvaginal colon surgery; (5) patients with the history of colectomy; (6) emergency operation due to intestinal obstruction, perforation and acute bleeding; (7) intestinal diversion operation; (8) benign lesions confirmed by postoperative pathology; (9) patients not following the colorectal clinical pathway of our department for intestinal preparation and antibiotic application. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to determine the risk factors of SSI after colon cancer surgery. Results: A total of 1291 patients were enrolled in the study. 94.3% (1217/1291) of cases received laparoscopic surgery. The incidence of overall SSI was 5.3% (69/1291). According to tumor location, the incidence of SSI in the right colon, transverse colon, left colon and sigmoid colon was 8.6% (40/465), 5.2% (11/213), 7.1% (7/98) and 2.1% (11/515) respectively. According to resection range, the incidence of SSI after right hemicolectomy, transverse colectomy, left hemicolectomy and sigmoid colectomy was 8.2% (48/588), 4.5% (2/44), 4.8% (8 /167) and 2.2% (11/492) respectively. Univariate analysis showed that preoperative BUN≥7.14 mmol/L, tumor site, resection range, intestinal anastomotic approach, postoperative diarrhea, anastomotic leakage, postoperative pneumonia, and anastomotic technique were related to SSI (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that anastomotic leakage (OR=22.074, 95%CI: 6.172-78.953, P<0.001), pneumonia (OR=4.100, 95%CI: 1.546-10.869, P=0.005), intracorporeal anastomosis (OR=5.288, 95%CI: 2.919-9.577,P<0.001) were independent risk factors of SSI. Subgroup analysis showed that in right hemicolectomy, the incidence of SSI in intracorporeal anastomosis was 19.8% (32/162), which was significantly higher than that in extracorporeal anastomosis (3.8%, 16/426, χ(2)=40.064, P<0.001). In transverse colectomy [5.0% (2/40) vs. 0, χ(2)=0.210, P=1.000], left hemicolectomy [5.4% (8/148) vs. 0, χ(2)=1.079, P=0.599] and sigmoid colectomy [2.1% (10/482) vs. 10.0% (1/10), χ(2)=2.815, P=0.204], no significant differences of SSI incidence were found between intracorporeal anastomosis and extracorporeal anastomosis (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of SSI increases with the resection range from sigmoid colectomy to right hemicolectomy. Intracorporeal anastomosis and postoperative anastomotic leakage are independent risk factors of SSI. Attentions should be paid to the possibility of postoperative pneumonia and actively effective treatment measures should be carried out.

Background
Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level as a residual risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still causing concern, although using chemical drugs for raising HDL-C level failed. The effect of high-density lipoprotein/ apolipiproteinA-1(HDL/apoA-1) mimetics on atherosclerosis is controversial.
Aim
In this meta-analysis we analyzed the effect of high-density lipoprotein/ apolipiproteinA-1(HDL/apoA-1) mimetics on atherosclerotic lesion both in human and mice.
Methods
We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science and EMBASE databases up to June 6, 2020 for eligible studies using wide search terms and included all the publications meet the including criteria. The methodological quality of the human studies was assessed using Review Manager (RevMan) software (version 5.3.). The methodological quality of the mice studies was assessed by using stair list. WMD(SMD) with 95% CI was used as a measure of the association between HDL/apoA-1 mimetics and plaque regression in human (in mice), after pooling data across trials in a random effect model. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were used to explore sources of heterogeneity and the effect of potential confounders. STATA (version 14.0) was used to conduct all statistical analyses.
Results
We identified 15 randomized controlled trials in which 6 trails including 754 ACS (HDL/apoA-1 mimetics = 414, placebo = 340) patients used for efficacy analysis and all of 15 trails used for safety analysis and 17 controlled trials for animal study. The pooled results showed that the use of HDL/apoA-1 mimetics did not significant decreased the percent atheroma volume(p = 0.494) and total atheroma volume(p = 0.560) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, HDL/apoA-1 mimetics (or gene transfection) was significant associated with all of final percent lesion area, final lesion area and changes in lesion area (SMD, -1.75; 95% CI: -2.21∼-1.29, p = 0.000; SMD, -0.78; 95% CI: -1.18∼-0.38, p = 0.000; SMD: -2.06; 95% CI, -3.92∼-0.2, p = 0.03) in mice.
Conclusions
In human, HDL/apoA-1 mimetics cannot significantly improve atheroma volume in artery, although it is safe. However, in animal, the results suggest HDL/apoA-1 mimetics (or gene transfection) can decrease lesion area. So additional studies are needed to further investigate and explain the different efficacy of HDL/apoA-1 mimetic peptides between human and animal. Abstract Figure. Forest plots of human studies

Abstract
Chemical pesticides and adjuvants have caused many negative effects. Botanical compounds provide solutions for the development of environment friendly pesticides and the management of increasing pest resistance. Curcumin, a natural polyphenol, showed synergistic effects on avermectin upon the destructive agricultural pest, Spodoptera litura. However, the botanical synergist and its relevant mechanisms remain unclear. In the article, curcumin significantly enhanced the growth inhibition and midgut structural damage of avermectin on the larvae of S. litura, and the synergistic effects were confirmed with pot experiments. There were only a few influences on the gene expression of avermectin targets, while apoptotic and autophagic related genes and proteins were accumulated in the avermectin/curcumin mixed regent (0.013/0.0013 μg/mL) treated group. Moreover, the potential mechanism was explored with an in vitro model, insect Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cell line. Morphology observation featured the damage on cells and Hoechst33258 staining revealed the fragments of DNA after treating with the avermectin/curcumin mixed regent (10/1 μg/mL). Dansylcadaverine and LysoTracker staining, as well as the gene expressions, supposed that curcumin exhibited autophagy inducing effects and the mixed regent possessed a higher ability to induce apoptosis and autophagy. All these results suggested that the synergistic effects of curcumin on the pest management of avermectin potentially mainly derived from the enhancement of programed cell death. It provides new sights for the application of natural compounds in integrated pest management and enriches examples of synergistic mechanisms.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The functional severity and morphological features of epicardial lesions are both related to plaque vulnerability and adverse coronary events. However, their relationship remains controversial, especially in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
Purpose
This study aimed to examine whether quantitative flow ratio (QFR), an angiography-based computation of fractional flow reserve, was associated with optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined vulnerable plaques such as thin-cap fibroatheromas (TCFAs) in a board spectrum of population, including patients presenting stable angina and NSTE-ACS.
Methods
We identified patients who underwent OCT examinations from 2 prospective cohorts and then assessed interrogated vessels with QFR. Lesions were divided into tertiles: QFR-T1 (QFR <0.85)<qfr),>, QFR-T2 (0.85 to 0.93) and QFR-T3 (QFR >0.93).
Results
This post-hoc analysis included 83 lesions from 79 patients (mean age: 61.5±9.8 years, males: 58%). Patients with NSTE-ACS accounted for the majority of the population (67%). The median % diameter stenosis and median QFR value were 42% (36 to 49%) and 0.88 (0.83 to 0.95), respectively. The prevalence of OCT-TCFA was significantly higher in QFR-T1 (50%) than in QFR-T2 (14%) and QFR-T3 (19%) (p=0.003 and 0.018, respectively). Overall significant differences were observed among tertiles in maximum lipid arc, thinnest fibrous cap thickness (FCT), and minimal lumen area (MLA) (p=0.017, 0.040, and <0.001, respectively). The Spearman's correlation analysis showed that QFR was significantly related to MLA (ρ = 0.537, p<0.001), % area stenosis (ρ = –0.512, p<0.001), maximum lipid arc (ρ = –0.360, p=0.002), lipid length (ρ = –0.242, p=0.038), lipid index (ρ = –0.333, p=0.004), and thinnest FCT (ρ = 0.315, p=0.006). In the multivariable analysis, QFR ≤0.80 remained as a significant determinant of TCFAs regardless of the presence of NSTE-ACS and the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (adjusted odds ratio = 4.387, 95% confidence interval: 1.297 to 14.839, p=0.017). In addition, QFR demonstrated moderate predictive ability for OCT-TCFA (area under the curve = 0.72, 95% confidence interval: 0.58 to 0.86, p=0.003) with the best cutoff of ≤0.86 (sensitivity: 65%; specificity: 73%; negative predictive value: 85%; accuracy: 71%).
Conclusions
Lower QFR was related to OCT-TCFA and other vulnerable plaque characteristics in angiographically mild-to-intermediate stable lesions and culprit lesions from NSTE-ACS. The QFR might be a useful tool for ruling out high-risk, rupture-prone plaques without using any pressure wires or vasodilators.

Abstract
AIMS This study investigated the dose-effect of manganese (Mn) addition on wheat straw (WS) decomposition, and explored the potential mechanisms of Mn involved in the acceleration of WS decomposition in regards to the soil microbial communities and enzyme activities. METHODS AND RESULTS A 180-day incubation experiment was performed to examine the decomposition of WS under four Mn levels, that is, 0, 0.25, 1 and 2 mg g-1 . The effects of microbial communities and enzyme activities were evaluated using control (0 mg g-1 ) and Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) treatments. Our results revealed that Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) addition significantly increased WS decomposition, and enhanced the release of carbon and nitrogen. Optimal Mn addition (0.25 mg g-1 ) also caused significant increases in the activity of neutral xylanase (NEX), laccase (Lac), manganese peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP) within the incubation period. Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) addition also enriched some operational taxonomic units (OTUs) that, in turn, had the potential ability to decompose crop straw, such as secreting lignocellulolytic enzymes. CONCLUSIONS Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) could promote WS decomposition through enrichment of the microbial species involved in biomass decomposition, which enhanced the lignocellulose-degrading enzyme activity. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study provides evidence for Mn to promote WS biodegradation after Mn application, opening new windows to improve the utilization efficiency of crop residues.

Abstract
New types of electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption materials with a light weight, strong absorption ability and wide absorption frequency have been widely explored. Nevertheless, it is still an intractable challenge to design the structure of the materials and rationalize multiple components. In this work, one-dimensional (1D) CoFe2/C@MoS2 composites were prepared via electrospinning technology, high-temperature carbonization and hydrothermal method. SEM and TEM images reveal that the as-prepared CoFe2/C fibers with a 1D structure are well coated with MoS2. The excellent absorption performance of the composites is mainly attributed to the 1D structure and the ideal impedance matching. CoFe2/C@MoS2 composites show strong absorption ability with an optimal reflection loss (RL) of -66.8 dB (13.28 GHz) at a matching thickness of 2.12 mm. Meanwhile, the composite possesses an effective absorption frequency range between 10.70 and 16.02 GHz with a bandwidth of 5.32 GHz. These results indicate that CoFe2/C@MoS2 composites will become promising lightweight and highly efficient MA materials.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence approaches in medicine are more and more used and are extremely promising due to the growing number of data produced and the variety of data they allow to exploit. Thus, the computational analysis of medical images in particular, radiological (radiomics), or anatomopathological (pathomics), has shown many very interesting results for the prediction of the prognosis and the response of cancer patients. Radiotherapy is a discipline that particularly benefits from these new approaches based on computer science and imaging. This review will present the main principles of an artificial intelligence approach and in particular machine learning, the principles of a radiomic and pathomic approach and the potential of their use for the prediction of the prognosis of patients treated with radiotherapy.

Abstract
Background: Immunotherapy elicits durable responses in many tumors. Nevertheless, the positive response to immunotherapy always depends on the dynamic interactions between the tumor cells and infiltrating lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Currently, the application of immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has achieved limited success. The ectopic modification of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a common feature in multiple tumors. However, the relationship between m6A modification with HCC clinical features, prognosis, immune cell infiltration, and immunotherapy efficacy remains unclear. Materials and Methods: Here, we comprehensively evaluated m6A modification clusters based on 22 m6A regulators and systematically explored the relationship between m6A modification with tumor progression, prognosis, and immune cell infiltration characteristics. The m6Ascore was calculated by principal component analysis to quantify the m6A modifications of individual patients. Key regulators involved in immunoregulation in HCC were identified using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Results: Three distinct m6A modification clusters were identified. The m6A clusters were significantly associated with clinical features, prognosis, and immune cell infiltration. The three clusters were highly consistent with the three tumor immune phenotypes, i.e., immune-excluded, immune-inflamed, and immune-desert. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed that high m6Ascore was closely associated with tumor progression, poor prognosis, and immunotherapy non-response. m6A regulators were dysregulated in HCC tissues. Hence, they play a role as predictors of poor prognosis. Tissue microarray demonstrated that overexpressed YTHDF1 was associated with low CD3+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration in HCC. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that m6A modification patterns play a crucial role in the tumor immune microenvironment and the prognosis of HCC. High YTHDF1 expression is closely associated with low CD3+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration in HCC.
