Abstract
D-dimer is a very important biomarker about sepsis, pulmonary thromboembolism and atherosclerosis, thus designing effective and sensitive method for its detection is of great significance. Herein, by synthesizing β-cyclodextrin-carbon nanotube nanohybrid (CNTs-CD) as the carrier to assemble the initial antibody (Ab1) of D-dimer, immobilizing secondary antibody (Ab2) and sulfydryl ferrocene (Fc) on the nanogold (Au) particles surface as the signaling amplifier (Ab2-Au-Fc), a low cost, simple, sensitive and effective sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensing (SEI) platform of D-dimer was proposed in this work for the first time. Briefly, CNTs shows large specific area and superior electroconductivity, and CD provides high host guest recognition ability that could bound with Ab1; meanwhile, the Fc probe offers stable current response which are proportionable positively to the level of D-dimer. Under the best conditions, the designed SEI platform exhibits prominent analytical performances for D-dimer: low detection limit of 3.0 ng mL-1 and large linearity of 10.0-800.0 ng mL-1. In addition, the selectivity, stability and reproducibility as well as real applications of the proposed SEI assay were evaluated and the obtained results are satisfactory.

Abstract
To analyze the changing trend of CH and CRF values under different influencing factors in T2DM patients. A total of 650 patients with T2DM were included. We discovered that the course of T2DM, smoking history, BMI, and FBG, DR, HbA1c, TC, TG, and LDL-C levels were common risk factors for T2DM, while HDL-C levels were a protective factor. Analyzing the CH and CRF values according to the course of diabetes, we discovered that as T2DM continued to persist, the values of CH and CRF gradually decreased. Moreover, with the increase in FBG levels and the accumulation of HbA1c, the values of CH and CRF gradually decreased. In addition, in patients with HbA1c (%) > 12, the values of CH and CRF decreased the most, falling by 1.85 ± 0.33 mmHg and 1.28 ± 0.69 mmHg, respectively. Compared with the non-DR group, the CH and CRF values gradually decreased in the mild-NPDR, moderate-NPDR, severe-NPDR and PDR groups, with the lowest CH and CRF values in the PDR group. In patients with T2DM, early measurement of corneal biomechanical properties to evaluate the change trend of CH and CRF values in different situations will help to identify and prevent diabetic keratopathy in a timely manner.

Abstract
Purpose One of the best anticancer treatments available is radiotherapy, which can be used either alone or in conjunction with other forms of treatment including chemotherapy and surgery. Nevertheless, a number of biochemical and physiological processes that react to ionizing radiation might provide tumor cells radioresistance, which makes radiotherapy ineffective. It has been found that CDKN1A regulates DNA damage repair, which contributes to tumor radioresistance. However, the precise mechanism is still unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying CDKN1A-enhanced radioresistance in tumor cells. Methods Cells were irradiated with 4 Gy after CDKN1A overexpression or knockdown. CDKN1A expression was measured using real-time PCR, cell viability was evaluated using cell counting kit-8 and colony formation assays, and cytotoxicity was assessed using a lactate dehydrogenase assay. Pyroptosis in cells was analyzed using caspase-1 activity assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and flow cytometry. Inflammation activation was detected through a co-immunoprecipitation assay. Activation of pyroptosis-related proteins was analyzed using immunohistochemistry, Western blot, and immunofluorescence. Tumor radioresistance in vivo was evaluated in a mouse xenograft model. Results Radiotherapy upregulated CDKN1A expression, which promoted lung adenocarcinoma cell survival. CDKN1A influenced radiation-induced pyroptosis in A549, which mainly depended on inhibiting the activation of the AIM2 inflammasome by promoting DNA repair. Additionally, CDKN1A upregulation enhanced A549 xenograft tumor radioresistance by inhibiting radiation-induced pyroptosis in vivo. Conclusions CDKN1A inhibits pyroptosis to enhance the radioresistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells by promoting DNA repair. This study may serve as a reference for developing novel targeted therapies against cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics of diarrheagenic Escherichia (E. ) coli infection in infectious diarrhea outpatients aged 15 years and older in Shanghai and provide evidence for the development of disease control strategies. Methods: Based on multistage systematic sampling, diarrhea surveillance was conducted in 22 sentinel hospitals in Shanghai, the information about cases' demographic, clinical, and epidemiological characteristics were collected. Stool samples were collected for the detection and typing of diarrheagenic E. coli by local centers for disease control and prevention. The positive rate of diarrheagenic E. coli in different populations and seasons from 2014 to 2021 were analyzed. Statistical analysis was conducted by using χ2 test. Results: In 15 185 diarrhea cases, 8.05% (1 222/15 185) were positive for diarrheagenic E. coli. The positive rate was higher in men (8.74%, 684/7 824) than in women (7.31%, 538/7 361). The positive rate was highest in age group 15-29 years (9.14%, 335/3 665) and the annual positive rate was highest in 2021 (10.21%, 83/813), the differences were all significant (P<0.05). In the 1 264 strains of diarrheagenic E. coli analyzed through PCR, enterotoxingenic E. coli was the most frequently identified pathogen (50.24%, 635/1 264), followed by enteroadhesive E. coli (27.93%, 353/1 264), and enteropathogenic E. coli (21.36%, 270/1 264). The positive rate of diarrheagenic E. coli showed obvious seasonality with peak in summer (13.92%, 774/5 562) (χ2=495.73, P<0.001). Conclusions: Diarrheagenic E. coli has become a prominent pathogen in infectious diarrhea cases in Shanghai, the disease can occur all the year round with incidence peak during summer and autumn. Predominant subtypes included enterotoxingenic E. coli, enteroadhesive E. coli and enteropathogenic E. coli. Targeted prevention and control strategies are needed for diarrheagenic E. coli-induced infectious diarrhea in different age groups, seasons and for different types of infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies of brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, showed that carrying the plant pathogenic virus, rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV), enhanced the lethality of the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae (YTTR). The underlying mechanism for this was not established but a serine protease cascade was hypothesized to be involved. RESULTS Two immune response genes, NlKPI and NlVenomase, were identified and shown to be involved. The synthesized double-strand RNA (dsRNA) techniques used in this study to explore gene function revealed that treatment with dsRNA to silence either gene led to a higher BPH mortality from M. anisopliae infection than the dsRNA control treatment. NlKPI and NlVenomase play vital roles in BPH immunity to defend against alien pathogens. Both genes participate in the immune response process of BPH against co-infection with RRSV and M. anisopliae YTTR by regulating the expression of antimicrobial peptides and phenoloxidase activity. CONCLUSION Our study provided new targets for BPH biocontrol and laid a solid foundation for further research on the interaction of virus-insect-EPF (entomopathogenic fungus). © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The addition of betel inflorescence (BI) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) to betel quid (BQ) formulation may be detrimental to human health. Here, we assessed BI extracts prepared using artificial saliva or aqueous solution with or without adding slaked lime to mimic the release of phytochemicals from BI in the oral cavity. The extracts were also profiled by HPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS to understand the quality and quantity of phytochemicals released. The results indicate that slaked lime facilitates the extraction of phenolics, likely due to a high pH. In a simulated oral environment with artificial saliva, the addition of slaked lime promotes the release of safrole, a well-known carcinogen. Dominant phytochemicals detected also include eugenol, acetyl eugenol and methyl eugenol, and only a fraction of these compounds is released in the simulated oral environment. This study reveals that environmental conditions can considerably affect the extraction of phytochemicals and triggers further investigation on how chewing practices may influence the release and activity of carcinogens.

Abstract
Paradoxically, cigarette smoking is associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). This led us to hypothesize that carbon monoxide (CO) levels, which are constitutively but modestly elevated in smokers, might contribute to neuroprotection. Using rodent models of PD based on α-synuclein (αSyn) accumulation and oxidative stress, we show that low-dose CO mitigates neurodegeneration and reduces αSyn pathology. Oral CO administration activated signaling cascades mediated by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which have been implicated in limiting oxidative stress, and in promoting αSyn degradation, thereby conferring neuroprotection. Consistent with a neuroprotective effect of smoking, HO-1 levels in cerebrospinal fluid were higher in human smokers compared to nonsmokers. Moreover, in PD brain samples, HO-1 levels were higher in neurons without αSyn pathology. Thus, CO in rodent PD models reduces pathology and increases oxidative stress responses, phenocopying possible protective effects of smoking evident in PD patients. These data highlight the potential for low-dose CO modulated pathways to slow symptom onset and limit pathology in PD patients.

Abstract
This paper aims to explore the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumors (eMRTs) in children. A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published in PUBMED, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was conducted. The search was limited to studies published between Jan 1, 1990 to Dec 31, 2022, with the last search done on Jan 31, 2023. We identified 496 papers through the literature search, and 12 retrospective cohort studies with 398 patients were included. The pooled age at diagnosis for malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) was 10.009 months (95%CI (7.542-12.476)), while extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumor (EERT) was 25.917 months (95%CI (17.304-34.530)). Among the 398 patients with eMRTs, chemotherapy treatment rate (86.8% (95%CI (74.4-96.0%))) was more frequently than radiotherapy treatment (45.4% (95%CI (38.1-52.6%))). The rate of metastasis in all patients was 41.4% (95%CI (33.9-48.9%)), in which the lung metastasis was occupied 70.4% (95%CI (58.0-81.6%)). SMARCB1/INI1 mutation was up to 93.2% (95%CI (81.3-99.8%)). The rate of total surgical resection was 50.4% (95%CI (35.2-65.6%)), while pooled proportion of death in all patients was 68.7% (95%CI (56.9-79.5%)). Conclusion: EMRTs are highly malignant tumors associated with high mortality rates. The loss of SMARCB1/INI1 gene and the protein expression is observed in the vast majority of eMRTs patients. Patients that suffered MRTK are younger than patients with extrarenal EERT and are more prone to lung metastasis, but there is no significant difference in overall survival, possibly due to the higher rate of R0 resection of primary tumors in MRTK. Trial registration: The study was registered on PROSPERO with registration number CRD42023400985. What is Known: • Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a rare and highly malignant tumor that may originate from embryonic stem cells. The incidence of MRT is exceptionally low, estimated at 0.00006%. • Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) and extrarenal extra-cranial malignant rhabdoid tumor (EERT) tend to manifest between 11 to 18 months of age, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 17%-36%. What is New: • There is no comprehensive meta-analysis or large-scale case series that reported to systematically introduce the eMRTs clinic outcome and prog-nosis based on largely pooled data. • This study performed a meta-analysis through an extensive literature search and clinical data analysis in order to mainly explore the clinical characteris-tics and prognosis of eMRTs, improving the understanding of eMRTs in children..

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary hearing loss is a highly heterogeneous disorder. This study aimed to identify the genetic cause of a Chinese family with autosomal recessive non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (ARNSHL). METHODS Clinical information and peripheral blood samples were collected from the proband and its parents. Two-step high-throughput next-generation sequencing on the Ion Torrent platform was applied to detect variants as follows. First, long-range PCR was performed to amplify all the regions of the GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4, and MT-RNR1 genes, followed by next-generation sequencing. If no candidate pathogenetic variants were found, the targeted exon sequencing with AmpliSeq technology was employed to examine another 64 deafness-associated genes. Sanger sequencing was used to identify variants and the lineage co-segregation. The splicing of the MYO15A gene was assessed by in silico bioinformatics prediction and minigene assays. RESULTS Two candidate MYO15A gene (OMIM, #602,666) heterozygous splicing variants, NG_011634.2 (NM_016239.3): c.6177 + 1G > T and c.9690 + 1G > A, were identified in the proband, and these two variants were both annotated as pathogenic according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Further bioinformatic analysis predicted that the c.6177 + 1G > T variant might cause exon skipping and that the c.9690 + 1G > A variant might activate a cryptic splicing donor site in the downstream intronic region. An in vitro minigene assay confirmed the above predictions. CONCLUSIONS We identified a compound heterozygous splicing variant in the MYO15A gene in a Han Chinese family with ARNSHL. Our results broaden the spectrum of MYO15A variants, potentially benefiting the early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the disease.

Abstract
Adding dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) to vascular endothelial cell-formed vessel-like structures can increase the longevity of these vessel networks. DPSCs display pericyte-like cell functions and closely assemble endothelial cells (ECs). However, the mechanisms of DPSC-derived pericyte-like cells in stabilizing the vessel networks are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the functions of E-DPSCs, which were DPSCs isolated from the direct coculture of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and DPSCs, and T-DPSCs, which were DPSCs treated by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), in stabilizing blood vessels in vitro and in vivo. A 3-dimensional coculture spheroid sprouting assay was conducted to compare the functions of E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs in vitro. Dental pulp angiogenesis in the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse model was used to explore the roles of E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs in vascularization in vivo. The results demonstrated that both E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs possess smooth muscle cell-like cell properties, exhibiting higher expression of the mural cell-specific markers and the suppression of HUVEC sprouting. E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs inhibited HUVEC sprouting by activating TEK tyrosine kinase (Tie2) signaling, upregulating vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, and downregulating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). In vivo study revealed more perfused and total blood vessels in the HUVEC + E-DPSC group, HUVEC + T-DPSC group, angiopoietin 1 (Ang1) pretreated group, and vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP) inhibitor pretreated group, compared to HUVEC + DPSC group. In conclusion, these data indicated that E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs could stabilize the newly formed blood vessels and accelerate their perfusion. The critical regulating pathways are Ang1/Tie2/VE-cadherin and VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling.

Abstract
Communication interference identification is critical in electronic countermeasures. However, existed methods based on deep learning, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer, seldom take both local characteristics and global feature information of the signal into account. Motivated by the local convolution property of CNNs and the attention mechanism of transformer, we designed a novel network that combines both architectures, which make better use of both local and global characteristics of the signals. Additionally, recognizing the challenge of distinguishing contextual semantics within the one-dimensional signal data used in this study, we advocate the use of CNNs in place of word embedding, aligning more closely with the intrinsic features of the signal data. Furthermore, to capture the time-frequency characteristics of the signals, we integrate the proposed network with a cross-attention mechanism, facilitating the fusion of temporal and spectral domain feature information through multiple cross-attention computational layers. This innovation obviates the need for specialized time-frequency analysis. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly improves recognition accuracy compared to existing methods, highlighting its efficacy in addressing the challenge of communication interference identification in electronic warfare.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure the burden of hepatitis C-associated diseases in China from 1990 to 2019, and to predict its changes from 2020 to 2044, so as to provide insights into formulation of the targeted hepatitis C control strategy. METHODS The total burden due to hepatitis C-associated diseases in China from 1990 to 2019 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD 2019) data resources, and the trends in age-standardized prevalence, incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate of hepatitis C-associated acute hepatitis C (AHC), chronic liver diseases (CLD) and liver cancer in China from 1990 to 2019 were evaluated in China from 1990 to 2019 using estimated annual percentage change (EAPC). In addition, the changes in the burden of hepatitis C-associated diseases were predicted in China from 2020 to 2044 using a Bayesian model. RESULTS The prevalence, incidence, mortality and DALY rate of hepatitis C-associated diseases all appeared an overall tendency towards a decline in China from 1990 to 2019 (EAPC = -2.64%, -2.24%, -3.81% and -3.90%, respectively); however, there was a minor rise in the incidence and prevalence of hepatitis C-associated diseases from 2015 to 2019. The overall prevalence of hepatitis C-associated diseases reduced from 2 152.7/105 in 1990 to 1 254.1/105 in 2019 in China, with a reduction of 41.7%. The overall incidence reduced from 87.9/105 in 1990 to 55.0/105 in 2019 in China, with a reduction of 37.4%, and the highest incidence was seen for AHC, followed by CLD and liver cancer. The overall mortality and DALY rate of hepatitis C-associated diseases was 4.0/105 and 100.8/105 in China from 1990 to 2019, with CLD showing the largest contributions to the gross mortality and DALY. The mortality and DALY rate of hepatitis C-associated diseases were 5.5/105 and 142.4/105 among men in China in 2019, which were both much higher than among women (2.8/105 and 60.3/105, respectively), and the overall prevalence (1 604.9/105), mortality (30.2/105) and DALYs (437.1/105) of hepatitis C-associated diseases were all highest among patients at ages of 70 years and older, and the highest incidence was seen among patients at ages of 0 to 9 years (167.3/105). The incidence of hepatitis C-associated diseases was predicted to rise in China from 2020 to 2044; however, the DALY rate was projected to appear a tendency towards a decline. CONCLUSIONS Although the burden of hepatitis C-associated diseases showed a tendency towards a decline in China from 1990 to 2019, the burden remained high, and was predicted to slightly rise from 2020 to 2044. High attention should be paid to screening of hepatitis C among infants and treatment among adults.

Abstract
Delayed wound healing in diabetes is a global challenge, and the development of related drugs is a clinical problem to be solved. In this study, purpurolide C (PC), a small-molecule secondary metabolite of the endophytic fungus Penicillium purpurogenum, was found to promote diabetic wound healing. To investigate the key regulation targets of PC, in vitro RNA-seq, molecular docking calculations, TLR4-MD2 dimerization SDS-PAGE detection, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) were performed, indicating that PC inhibited inflammatory macrophage activation by inhibiting both TLR4-MD2 dimerization and MYD88 phosphorylation. Tlr4 knockout in vivo attenuated the promotion effect of PC on wound healing. Furthermore, a delivery system consisting of macrophage liposome and GelMA-based microneedle patches combined with PC (PC@MLIP MN) was developed, which overcame the poor water solubility and weak skin permeability of PC, so that successfully punctured the skin and delivered PC to local tissues, and accurately regulated macrophage polarization in diabetic wound management. Overall, PC is an anti-inflammatory small molecule compound with a well-defined structure and dual-target regulation, and the PC@MLIP MN is a promising novel biomaterial for the management of diabetic wound.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) causes high morbidity and mortality rates in critically ill patients, and there are currently no effective therapeutic drugs. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered mode of regulated cell death that contributes to the progression of ALI. Quercetin possesses anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, whether quercetin can protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced ALI by inhibiting ferroptosis and its underlying mechanisms remains unclear. The present study evaluated the protective effects of quercetin and underlying molecular mechanisms in LPS‑induced ALI by establishing an ALI mouse model and an alveolar epithelial cell injury model via treatment of the mice or alveolar epithelial cells with LPS. Mouse lung injury was assessed by evaluating the histological lung injury score, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cell count and inflammatory cytokine levels; alveolar epithelial cell injury was assessed by Cell counting kit‑8, lactate dehydrogenase and EDU assays; and ferroptosis was assessed by detecting the changes in the levels of malondialdehyde, glutathione, iron, glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) and 4‑hydroxynonenal in vivo and vitro. The present study indicated that quercetin effectively ameliorated LPS‑induced ALI in the mouse model by reducing histopathological changes, proinflammatory cytokine release and reactive oxygen species generation and inhibiting ferroptosis. Quercetin significantly decreased ferroptosis and improved the proliferative ability of LPS‑treated alveolar epithelial cells. Additionally, it was demonstrated that quercetin markedly enhanced the alveolar epithelial barrier, as evidenced by the upregulation of tight junction protein expression both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, quercetin effectively activated the sirtuin 1 (Sirt1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2)/Gpx4 signaling pathway, and targeted in vivo inhibition or in vitro knockdown of Sirt1 significantly reduced the anti‑ferroptotic functions of quercetin. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that quercetin exerts its therapeutic effects against LPS‑induced ALI by inhibiting ferroptosis via the activation of the Sirt1/Nrf2/Gpx4 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Chronic heart failure(CHF) is a comprehensive clinical syndrome caused by multiple factors that result in structural and/or functional abnormalities of the heart, leading to impaired ventricular contraction and/or relaxation functions. This medical condition represents the final stage of various cardiovascular diseases. In the treatment of CHF, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of using traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) to control oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, thereby delaying ventricular remodeling and reducing myocardial fibrosis. In this study, common TCM syndromes in the diagnosis and treatment of CHF in recent years were reviewed and summarized. Five common treatment methods including benefiting Qi and activating blood circulation, enhancing Qi and nourishing Yin, warming Yang for diuresis, eliminating phlegm and dampness, rescuing from collapse by restoring Yang, and corresponding classic prescriptions in prevention and treatment of CHF were concluded under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation thinking. Meanwhile, research progress on the modern pharmacological effects of these classic prescriptions was systematically discussed, so as to establish a unique treatment system for CHF by classic prescriptions under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation theory and provide innovative diagnosis and treatment strategies for clinical CHF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure the burden of hepatitis B-associated diseases in China from 1990 to 2019, and to predict its changes from 2020 to 2030. METHODS The age-standardized prevalence, incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) rate of hepatitis B-associated diseases in China from 1990 to 2019 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD 2019) data resources, and the trends in burdens of hepatitis B-associated diseases were evaluated from 1990 to 2019 using estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and annual percent change (APC). In addition, the changes in the burden of hepatitis B-associated diseases were predicted in China from 2020 to 2023 using the Bayesian model. RESULTS The overall incidence of hepatitis B-associated diseases reduced from 2 725.98/105 in 1990 to 1 397.31/105 in 2019 in China [estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) = -2.35%, 95% confidential interval (CI): (-2.58%, -2.13%)], with a reduction in the prevalence from 12 239.53/105 in 1990 to 6 566.12/105 in 2019 [EAPC = -2.34%, 95% CI: (-2.54%, -2.14%)], a reduction in the mortality from 24.67/105 in 1990 to 8.07/105 in 2019 [EAPC = -4.92%, 95% CI: (-5.37%, -4.47%)], and a reduction in the DALY rate from 793.38/105 in 1990 to 247.71/105 in 2019 [(EAPC = -5.15%, 95% CI: (-5.64%, -4.66%)]. The DALY rate of hepatitis B-associated diseases were mainly attributed to liver cancer, and the DALY rate of hepatitis B-associated diseases appeared a tendency towards a rise in China from 2012 to 2019 [APC = 1.30%, 95% CI: (0.16%, 2.45%)]. The overall burden of hepatitis Bassociated diseases was higher in males than in females, and the DALY rate of hepatitis B-associated diseases increased with age, with the greatest DALY rate seen among patients at ages of 50 to 69 years. The overall incidence of hepatitis B-associated diseases was projected to be 866.79/105 in China in 2030, with the greatest incidence seen in acute hepatitis B (854.87/105), and the burden of hepatitis B-associated diseases was predicted to decline in China from 2020 to 2030; however, the burden of liver disease was projected to appear a tendency towards a rise. CONCLUSIONS The burden of hepatitis B-associated diseases appears an overall tendency towards a decline in China from 1990 to 2030; however, the burden of liver cancer appears a tendency towards aggravation. Early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer should be given a high priority.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma, the most frequent type of lung cancer, is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Ferroptosis, controlled cell death that involves a high degree of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has been linked to tumor therapy sensitivity, patient prognosis, and cancer development. The solute carrier superfamily has over 400 members and comprises the largest class of transporters in the human genome. Solute carrier proteins can facilitate the movement of different substrates across biological membranes, which is crucial for physiological activities, including ferroptosis. Here, we developed a new model to further explore the role of the solute carrier family in ferroptosis in the lung adenocarcinoma immunological milieu. We used consensus clustering to classify patients with lung cancer into two subgroups (cluster1 and cluster2). Patients in the cluster1 subtype had a better prognosis and higher immune cell infiltration ratios than those in the cluster2 subtype. Furthermore, to evaluate the prognosis, the immune cell infiltration ratio, and the medication sensitivity of patients with lung adenocarcinoma, we developed gene scores related to the solute carrier family. In conclusion, we successfully developed a model incorporating the solute carrier family and ferroptosis to predict survival and the impact of immunotherapy on patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
Sea surface nitrate (SSN) plays an important role in assessing phytoplankton growth and new production in the ocean. Field sampling of SSN data is important, but limited by data quantity both spatially and temporally. Satellite remote sensing can contribute through providing spatial and temporal data to such assessments. During the past 30 years many studies have been published focusing on SSN retrievals from satellites to a greater or less extent. In this study, we reviewed the progresses of SSN estimation from satellites in both open ocean and coastal waters. Because of the lack of electromagnetic properties of SSN, satellite retrievals of SSN were most realized by developing relationships between SSN and related environmental variables (e.g., sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, sea surface salinity), using traditional empirical regressions and novel machine learning techniques. We synthesized most of the peer-reviewed studies for both open and coastal oceans, in terms of study areas, model inputs, regression formulas, and model uncertainties. In general, regional SSN algorithms were most developed in coastal oceans with upwelling or river discharges. The published SSN algorithms had varying uncertainties with a wide range of 0.83-6.87 μmol/L, and the uncertainties were significantly reduced in recent studies, with more field measurements available and better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes in driving nitrate dynamics.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to estimate the long-term survival, late toxicity profile, and quality of life of patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with combined induction chemotherapy (IC) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy from a clinical trial focused on reducing the target volume of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS This prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted across 6 Chinese hospitals and included 212 patients with stage III-IVB NPC who were randomly allocated to a pre-IC or post-IC group. Eligible patients were treated with 2 cycles of IC + CCRT. All patients underwent radical IMRT. Gross tumor volumes of the nasopharynx were delineated according to pre-IC and post-IC tumor extent in the pre-IC and post-IC groups, respectively. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 98.4 months, 32 of 97 (32.9%) and 33 of 115 (28.7%) patients experienced treatment failure or died in the pre-IC and post-IC groups, respectively. None of the patients developed grade 4 late toxicity. Late radiation-induced toxicity predominantly manifested as grade 1 to 2 subcutaneous fibrosis, hearing loss, tinnitus, and xerostomia, whereas grade 3 late toxicity included xerostomia and hearing loss. The 5-year estimated overall, progression-free, locoregional recurrence-free, and distant metastasis-free survival rates in the pre-IC and post-IC groups were 78.2% versus 83.3%, 72.0% versus 78.1%, 90.2% versus 93.5%, and 78.1% versus 82.1%, respectively. The pre-IC group had a significantly higher incidence of xerostomia and hearing damage than the post-IC group. In terms of quality of life, compared with the pre-IC group, the post-IC group showed significant improvement in cognitive function (P = .045) and symptoms including dry mouth (P = .004), sticky saliva (P = .047), and feeling ill (P = .041). CONCLUSIONS After long-term follow-up, we confirmed that reducing the target volumes of IMRT after IC in locoregionally advanced NPC showed no inferiority in terms of the risk of locoregional relapse and potentially improved quality of life and alleviated late toxicity.

Abstract
Due to the unique anatomical structure and physiological barriers of the eye, drug delivery for ocular diseases presents a formidable challenge. Conventional methods of ocular drug administration often suffer from limitations such as low drug bioavailability and a lack of tissue targeting, necessitating multiple administrations to achieve the desired therapeutic drug concentrations. In recent years, microneedles, known for their attributes of safety, minimally invasive application, and high efficiency, have found widespread application in ocular drug delivery research. Among the various types of microneedles, dissolving polymer microneedles have emerged as a prominent focus in the field of ocular drug delivery due to their distinct advantages over other microneedle types. This article provides a comprehensive summary and outlook on the progress in the application of dissolving polymer microneedles for drug delivery in ocular diseases.

Abstract
Human carboxylesterase 2A (hCES2A), the most abundant carboxylesterase in the human gut, plays a crucial role in the metabolic clearance and activation of various ester-bearing drugs, environmental toxins and carcinogens. Inhibition of intestinal hCES2A can alleviate irinotecan-induced gut toxicity and modulate the oral bioavailability of hCES2A-substrate drugs. Bysspectin A, a natural product isolated from the endophytic fungus Byssochlamys spectabilis, has been identified as a highly selective hCES2A inhibitor. Herein, two sets of bysspectin A derivatives have been designed and synthesized, utilizing a Cu-catalyzed domino Sonogashira-cyclization as the key step. Following two rounds of structure activity relationship (SAR) studies and structural optimizations, compound 20w was identified as the most potent hCES2A inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 1.6 nM, an approximately 1000-fold improvement over bysspectin A. Further investigation showed that 20w potently inhibited hCES2A in a mixed inhibition manner, while this agent could also potently inhibit intracellular hCES2A in living cells and exhibited suitable metabolic stability. In summary, our findings demonstrate that a new bysspectin A derivative (20w) is a promising candidate for the development of clinically used hCES2A inhibitor.

Abstract
Background Acute appendicitis (AA) is a prevalent abdominal emergency in children, and there has been growing interest in the use of endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment (ERAT) over the past two decades. A meta-analysis of published retrospective studies was conducted to investigate the clinical characteristics and therapeutic efficacy of ERAT for AA in children. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis of retrospective studies were carried out, encompassing data from PUBMED, MEDLINE, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, and VIP Database. The search was limited to studies published between January 1, 2012, and June 31, 2022, with the final search conducted on October 31, 2022. No restrictions were imposed regarding publication or study design filters. The registration number in PROSPERO was CRD42022377739. Results Seven retrospective cohort studies with 423 patients were included. The majority of children who underwent ERAT were male (57.6%, 95% CI 52.8%-62.4%). The ERAT procedure had a high success rate (99.5%, 95% CI 98.2%-100.0%) and averaged around 49 minutes. ERAT's efficacy for treating acute appendicitis was high (99.0%, 95% CI 96.5%-100.0%), with a low recurrence rate (4.2%, 95% CI 2.2%-6.7%). Patients typically stayed in the hospital for about 4.3 days, and the rate of postoperative complications was around 3.9% (95% CI 2.0%-6.2%). Conclusions Despite the heterogeneity among studies, ERAT appears to be an effective treatment for acute uncomplicated appendicitis in children. It has a high success rate, a low recurrence rate, preserves the appendix's function, and causes minimal damage. ERAT could be considered a safe and effective treatment option for pediatric appendicitis.

Abstract
The continuous emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants with increased transmissibility and profound immune-escape capacity makes it an urgent need to develop broad-spectrum therapeutics. Nanobodies have recently attracted extensive attentions due to their excellent biochemical and binding properties. Here, we report two high-affinity nanobodies (Nb-015 and Nb-021) that target non-overlapping epitopes in SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD. Both nanobodies could efficiently neutralize diverse viruses of SARS-CoV-2. The neutralizing mechanisms for the two nanobodies are further delineated by high-resolution nanobody/S-RBD complex structures. In addition, an Fc-based tetravalent nanobody format is constructed by combining Nb-015 and Nb-021. The resultant nanobody conjugate, designated as Nb-X2-Fc, exhibits significantly enhanced breadth and potency against all-tested SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron sub-lineages. These data demonstrate that Nb-X2-Fc could serve as an effective drug candidate for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection, deserving further in-vivo evaluations in the future.

Abstract
Methionine is indispensable for growth and meat formation in pigs. However, it is still unclear that increasing dietary sulphur-containing amino acid (SAA) levels using different methionine sources affects the growth performance and meat quality of barrows and gilts. To investigate this, 144 pigs (half barrows and half gilts) were fed the control (100% SAA, CON), DL-Methionine (125% SAA, DL-Met)-supplemented, or OH-Methionine (125% SAA, OH-Met)-supplemented diets during the 11-110 kg period. The results showed that plasma methionine levels varied among treatments during the experimental phase, with increased plasma methionine levels observed following increased SAA consumption during the 25-45 kg period. In contrast, pigs fed the DL-Met diet had lower plasma methionine levels than those fed the CON diet (95-110 kg). Additionally, gilts fed the DL-Met or OH-Met diets showed decreased drip loss in longissimus lumborum muscle (LM) compared to CON-fed gilts. OH-Met-fed gilts had higher pH45min values than those fed the CON or DL-Met diets, whereas OH-Met-fed barrows had higher L45min values than those fed the CON or DL-Met diets. Moreover, increased consumption of SAA, regardless of the methionine source, tended to decrease the shear force of the LM in pigs. In conclusion, this study indicates that increasing dietary levels of SAA (+25%) appeared to improve the meat quality of gilts by decreasing drip loss and increasing meat tenderness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The clinical significance of serum pepsinogen (PG) for screening gastric cancer has been a controversial topic. Serum PG I levels have been demonstrated to be correlated with age, sex, and the Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. However, the underlying factors that influence serum PG I variations remain to be fully elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the impacts of sex and body mass index (BMI) on PG I in Chinese population. METHODS The cross-sectional study recruited 4,299 apparently healthy participants in Fujian Province. Serum PG levels were automatically measured using ELISA method. Serum H. pylori-IgG antibody was detected by the colloidal gold immunoassay. Clinical characteristics were obtained by questionnaire. RESULTS Totally, 2,263 participants who had tests of serum PG and anti-HP IgG antibody were enrolled. Increased BMI and serum uric acid were observed in males with low PG I value (<70 μg/L). Multiple logistic regression showed the presence of overweight was the independent risk factor for male participants with low PG I level (odds ratio [OR] 1.519; p=0.017). However, the association was not found in females. CONCLUSIONS Sex-specific association of serum low PG I with overweight was observed in the southeast coastal areas of China. Thus, effects of sexual dimorphism should not be ignored during the clinical utilization of serum PG I.

Abstract
The functional restoration of Brown class III maxillary defects is a challenging endeavour in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Conventional reconstruction techniques with osseous free flaps have certain limitations, such as the need for multiple operations and greater patient morbidity. This study introduces a single-stage computer-assisted approach for tumour resection and functional restoration of these defects using titanium mesh, zygomatic implants, and a vascularized anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF). Virtual surgical planning was used to simulate tumour resection, titanium mesh placement, and zygomatic implant insertion. Surgery was performed under the guidance of mixed reality and surgical navigation. The tumour was resected by total hemimaxillectomy, and the reconstruction was performed using a pre-bent patient-specific titanium mesh for the orbital floor and two zygomatic implants placed and exposed through tunnels in an ALTF. The ALTF survived without any perioperative complications. A fixed prosthesis with built-in titanium frame was delivered 4 months postoperatively. At the 1-year follow-up, there was no tumour recurrence, the implants were osseointegrated, and aesthetics and masticatory function were satisfactory. An occlusal force of 155 N was attained on the reconstructed side, compared to 127 N on the non-surgical side.

Abstract
Alongshan virus (ALSV), a newly discovered member of unclassified Flaviviridae family, is able to infect humans. ALSV has a multi-segmented genome organization and is evolutionarily distant from canonical mono-segmented flaviviruses. The virus-encoded methyltransferase (MTase) plays an important role in viral replication. Here we show that ALSV MTase readily binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) but exhibits significantly lower affinities than canonical flaviviral MTases. Structures of ALSV MTase in the free and SAM/SAH-bound forms reveal that the viral enzyme possesses a unique loop-element lining side-wall of the SAM/SAH-binding pocket. While the equivalent loop in flaviviral MTases half-covers SAM/SAH, contributing multiple hydrogen-bond interactions; the pocket-lining loop of ALSV MTase is of short-length and high-flexibility, devoid of any physical contacts with SAM/SAH. Subsequent mutagenesis data further corroborate such structural difference affecting SAM/SAH-binding. Finally, we also report the structure of ALSV MTase bound with sinefungin, an SAM-analogue MTase inhibitor. These data have delineated the basis for the low-affinity interaction between ALSV MTase and SAM/SAH and should inform on antiviral drug design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) are new treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we quantified the toxicity profiles of different ALK-TKIs to guide clinical decision making. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Data were analyzed using random effects and consistency models under the frequency framework. RESULTS Of 865 relevant studies, 13 RCTs (encompassing 3,353 patients) were finally included. A network meta-analysis of all-grade AEs, fatal AEs, and treatment discontinuation due to AEs revealed no significant differences among the six ALK-TKIs. The rates of grade 3-4 AEs were: alectinib (16.2%), crizotinib (46.4%), brigatinib (63.7%), ensartinib (75.6%), ceritinib (78.3%), and lorlatinib (91.6%). The toxicity spectra of ALK-TKIs were different. The most frequent AEs associated with crizotinib were gastrointestinal reactions, visual disorders, neutropenia, edema, fatigue, and elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, while those in the alectinib group were anemia and constipation. Diarrhea, hepatotoxicity, and increased serum creatinine were most common with ceritinib. The most frequent AEs in the brigatinib group were gastrointestinal reactions, hypertension, cough, headache, and elevated ALT or AST levels. The most significant toxicities of ensartinib were skin disorders, including pruritus and rash. Changes in lipid levels were the most frequent AEs associated with lorlatinib; weight gain, cognitive effects, and mood effects were lorlatinib-specific AEs. CONCLUSIONS The toxicity spectra of ALK-TKIs differed. Alectinib might be the safest ALK-TKI drug according to the combined evidence of grades 3-4 AEs and the combined incidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease of periodontal tissues that is closely connected with systemic diseases. During periodontitis, the inappropriate recruitment and activation of monocytes-macrophages causes an increase in osteoclast activity and disrupts bone homeostasis. Therefore, it is a promising therapeutic strategy to treat periodontitis by regulating the functions of monocytes-macrophages. Litcubanine A (LA) is an isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Litsea cubeba, which was proven to have reproducible anti-inflammatory effects, but its regulatory role on bone homeostasis in periodontitis is still not clear. METHODS In this study, zebrafish experiments and a mouse ligature-induced periodontitis model were performed, and histological analysis was used to investigate the effect of LA on macrophage chemotaxis under the inflammatory environment. Real-time PCR was used to detect the regulatory effect of LA (100 nM ~ 100 μM) on the chemotaxis function of macrophages induced by LPS. Apoptosis assay and flow cytometry were used to elucidate the influence of LA on macrophage apoptosis and proliferation. To further clarify the regulatory role of LA on macrophage osteoclast differentiation, real-time PCR, histological analysis, western blot, and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) were performed in vivo and in vitro to verify the impact of LA on bone homeostasis. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the chemotaxis function of macrophage was significantly attenuated by LA in vivo. LA could significantly inhibit the expression of genes encoding the chemokine receptors Ccr1 and Cxcr4, and its ligand chemokine Cxcl12 in macrophages, and suppresses the differentiation of osteoclastic precursors to osteoclasts through the MAPK signaling pathway. There were significantly lower osteoclast differentiation and bone loss in the LA group compared with the control in the ligature-induced periodontitis model. CONCLUSION LA is a promising candidate for the treatment of periodontitis through its reproducible functions of inhibiting monocyte-macrophage chemotaxis and osteoclast differentiation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The application of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has significantly improved the locoregional control and overall survival of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but how to deescalate the intensity of treatment to further reduce the side effects while ensuring the efficacy is the main concern of clinicians. Decreasing radiation volume is one of the hot research topics. Whole-neck irradiation is recommended for patients with cervical lymph node involvement, which includes levels IVb and Vc. Since the implementation of IMRT in our clinic, patients with only upper cervical lymph node invasion have not been irradiated in the levels IVb and Vc, and the regional control rate is comparable to that of other centers. This study intends to retrospectively analyze the feasibility of omitting levels IVb and Vc in patients with only upper cervical lymph node invasion, and provide a basis for the revision of international guideline for the delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV). MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with histologically confirmed NPC who completed IMRT successfully at our attending group between January 2014 to March 2018 were candidates for this study. Other eligibility criteria for analysis were as follows: (1) The first patient without distant metastasis; (2) Only patients with upper cervical lymph node invasion (only N1, N2, because the maximum diameter of the upper neck 6cm diagnosed as N3 patients were not included) (AJCC staging system, 8th edition); (3) Having complete baseline imaging data; (4) Over 3 months of follow-up; (5) Patients without previous history of malignant tumor and secondary cancer. According to the delineation of CTV in our protocol for patients with stage N1 and N2, levels IVb and Vc are not irradiated (i.e., retaining the original supraclavicular area). The main endpoints of the study were regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS) and recurrence rates in levels IVb and Vc. RESULTS In all, 363 patients with NPC and median follow-up of 61.9 months (range, 3.67-93.3) met the study inclusion criteria and comprise the dataset for the analysis. The overall survival, survival without local recurrence, survival without regional recurrence, and survival without distant metastasis at 3 and 5 years were 94.6% and 91.1%, 97.7% and 96.5%, 98.6% and 98.0%, 93.5% and 91.1%. At the final follow-up, 11 cases showed regional recurrence, and only one case (0.28%) showed recurrence in regions IVb and Vc, which were field recurrences, while the rest were intra-field recurrences. CONCLUSION Omitting levels Ⅳb and Ⅴc IMRT should be safe and feasible for patients who only had involvement of upper neck LNs. Further well-designed multicenter prospective trials should be conducted to confirm our results and further optimize the recommendation of the International Guideline.

Abstract
The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike recognizing the receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) initiates membrane fusion between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and cell membrane. Although the structure of the RBD_ACE2 complex has been well studied, its functional mechanism in membrane fusion is still not fully understood. Here, using an in vitro cell-vesicle content-mixing assay, it is found that the cleavage at the S2' site by thrombin (Thr) protease strongly accelerates membrane fusion, compared to that of cleavage at the S1/S2 site by PreScission (3C) protease. Moreover, mutations at the RBD_ACE2 interface resulted in a positive correlation between binding affinity and fusion probability. In both the cell-vesicle and cell-cell fusion assays, by crosslinking two membranes via the neutravidin (NTV)_biotin interaction or complementary DNA strands, it is found that spike drives membrane fusion in the absence of ACE2, and a suitable distance between two membranes is critical for spike-mediated membrane fusion. Finally, unsuitable membrane crosslinkers significantly inhibited the fusion probability in the presence of ACE2. Taken together, the results suggest that the RBD_ACE2 complex may act as a crosslinker to bridge the viral and cell membranes at a suitable distance, which is critical, but also substitutable for spike-mediated SARS-CoV-2 entry.

Abstract
PtTe2 , a member of the noble metal dichalcogenides (NMDs), has aroused great interest in exploring its behavior in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the unique type-II topological semimetallic nature. In this work, a simple template-free hydrothermal method to obtain the phosphorus-doped (P-doped) PtTe2 nanocages with abundant amorphous and crystalline interface (A/C-P-PtTe2 ) is developed. Revealed by density functional theory calculations, the atomic Te vacancies can spontaneously form on the basal planes of PtTe2 by the P doping, which results in the unsaturated Pt atoms exposed as the active sites in the amorphous layer for HER. Owing to the defective structure, the A/C-P-PtTe2 catalysts have the fast Tafel step determined kinetics in HER, which contributes to an ultralow overpotential (η = 28 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) and a small Tafel slope of 37 mV dec-1 . More importantly, benefiting from the inner stable crystalline P-PtTe2 nanosheets, limited decay of the performance is observed after chronopotentiometry test. This work reveals the important role of the inherent relationship between structure and activity in PtTe2 for HER, which may bring another enlightenment for the design of efficient catalysts based on NMDs in the near future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a complicated clinical syndrome with a high mortality rate. XiJiaQi (XJQ) is a traditional Chinese medicine used in the clinical treatment of CHF, but its bioactive components and their modes of action remain unknown. This study was designed to unravel the molecular mechanism of XJQ in the treatment of CHF using multiple computer-assisted and experimental methods. METHODS Pharmacoinformatics-based methods were used to explore the active components and targets of XJQ in the treatment of CHF. ADMETlab was then utilized to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of core components. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were to explore the underlying mechanism of XJQ treatment. Molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and molecular dynamics (MD) were employed to evaluate the binding of active components to putative targets. RESULTS Astragaloside IV, formononetin, kirenol, darutoside, periplocin and periplocymarin were identified as core XJQ-related components, and IL6 and STAT3 were identified as core XJQ targets. ADME/T results indicated that periplocin and periplocymarin may have potential toxicity. GO and KEGG pathway analyses revealed that XJQ mainly intervenes in inflammation, apoptosis, diabetes, and atherosclerosis-related biological pathways. Molecular docking and SPR revealed that formononetin had a high affinity with IL6 and STAT3. Furthermore, MD simulation confirmed that formononetin could firmly bind to the site 2 region of IL6 and the DNA binding domain of STAT3. CONCLUSION This study provides a mechanistic rationale for the clinical application of XJQ. Modulation of STAT3 and IL-6 by XJQ can impact CHF, further guiding research efforts into the molecular underpinnings of CHF.

Abstract
Thirteen consecutive patients with entrapped temporal horn syndrome in the Department of Neurosurgery of Beijing Tiantan Hospital from February 2018 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and there were 5 males and 8 females, with a mean age of (43±21) years. Increased intracranial pressure caused by hydrocephalus was the main clinical symptom. All the patients underwent refined temporal-to-frontal horn shunt, and all the symptoms were improved after surgery. Postoperative Karnofsky performance score (KPS) [90 (90, 100)] was higher than preoperative KPS [57 (40, 70)] (P=0.001). However, postoperative entrapped temporal horn volume [13.85 (8.90, 15.25) cm3] decreased, compared with preoperative volume [66.52 (38.65, 88.65) cm3] (P=0.001). Likewise, postoperative midline shift [0.77 (0, 1.50) mm] was longer than preoperative midline shift [6.69 (2.50, 10.00) mm] (P=0.002). No surgery-related complications were observed after the operation. Therefore, the refined temporal-to-frontal horn shunt is safe and effective treatment for entrapped temporal horn syndrome, with favorable outcomes.

Abstract
Vitamin C (vitC) is a vital nutrient for health and also used as a therapeutic agent in diseases such as cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying vitC's effects remain elusive. Here we report that vitC directly modifies lysine without enzymes to form vitcyl-lysine, termed "vitcylation", in a dose-, pH-, and sequence-dependent manner across diverse proteins in cells. We further discover that vitC vitcylates K298 site of STAT1, which impairs its interaction with the phosphatase PTPN2, preventing STAT1 Y701 dephosphorylation and leading to increased STAT1-mediated IFN pathway activation in tumor cells. As a result, these cells have increased MHC/HLA class-I expression and activate immune cells in co-cultures. Tumors collected from vitC-treated tumor-bearing mice have enhanced vitcylation, STAT1 phosphorylation and antigen presentation. The identification of vitcylation as a novel PTM and the characterization of its effect in tumor cells opens a new avenue for understanding vitC in cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and therapeutics.

Abstract
Photodetectors (PDs) based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have promising applications in modern electronics and optoelectronics. However, due to the intralayer recombination of the photogenerated carriers and the inevitable surface trapping stages of the constituent layers, the PDs based on 2D materials usually suffer from low responsivity and poor response speed. In this work, a distinguished GaN-based photodetector is constructed on a sapphire substrate with Te/metal electrodes. Due to the metal-like properties of tellurium, the band bending at the interface between Te and GaN generates an inherent electric field, which greatly reduces the carrier transport barrier and promotes the photoresponse of GaN. This Te-enhanced GaN-based PD show a promising responsivity of 4951 mA/W, detectivity of 1.79 × 1014 Jones, and an external quantum efficiency of 169%. In addition, owing to the collection efficiency of carriers by this Te-GaN interface, the response time is greatly decreased compared with pure GaN PDs. This high performance can be attributed to the fact that Te reduces the contact resistance of the metal electrode Au/Ti to GaN, forming an ohmic-like contact and promoting the photoresponse of GaN. This work greatly extends the application potential of GaN in the field of high-performance photodetectors and puts forward a new way of developing high performance photodetectors.

Abstract
Our previous studies have confirmed that transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays an important role in tumor metastasis, and the serum deprivation protein response (SDPR) is a potential downstream target of TGF-β. However, the role and mechanism of SDPR in gastric cancer are still unclear. We performed gene microarray, bioinformation analysis, combined with in vivo and in vitro experimental verification, we identified that SDPR is significantly downregulated in gastric cancer, and participates in TGF-β-mediated tumour metastasis. Mechanically, SDPR interacts with extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and inhibits fatty acid metabolism key gene Carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A (CPT1A) at transcriptional level by supressing ERK/PPAR pathway. Our findings suggest that the TGF-β/SDPR/CPT1A axis play an important role in the fatty acid oxidation of gastric cancer, and provides a new insight into the crosstalk of tumour microenvironments and metabolism reprogramming and suggest that strategies to intervene the fatty acid metabolism may therapy gastric cancer metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apple polyphenols (APs) with multiple biological effects have attracted extensive attention due to their broad opportunities for application. However, the use of APs is hampered by their instability in the face of environmental changes. Designing efficient carriers to improve the bioavailability of APs is the key to solving these problems. In this study, gelatin-chitooligosaccharide nanoparticles produced by the Maillard reaction (GCM) were fabricated to encapsulate AP, and the structure, antioxidant activity, and stability of the GMM-AP nanoparticle system were evaluated. RESULTS The results of endogenous fluorescence spectrum, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and simultaneous thermal analysis confirmed structural changes and interactions between GCM and AP. Combination with GCM did not adversely affect the antioxidant properties of AP, and the GCM-AP nanoparticles possessed superior temperature and storage stability. In comparison with fish gelatin-apple polyphenol nanoparticles, the GCM-AP nanoparticles were more stable at a wider pH range, and were more resistant to the electrostatic shielding effect of NaCl. After simulating gastric digestion, the particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) of GCM-AP nanoparticles were almost unchanged. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that GCM nanoparticles loaded with AP could be used as good carriers with good antioxidant activity and stability. This study therefore provides a theoretical foundation for the development and industrial application of food functional factors. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The present study collected data on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) compounds effective in relieving pain from the patent database of the State Intellectual Property Office(SIPO), sorted out the TCM compounds against pain in patents, and analyzed the medication rules to provide references for the research and development of new TCM drugs against pain. The data were subjected to frequency statistics, association rules, cluster analysis, and complex network analysis by IBM SPSS Modeler 18.3 and SPSS Statistical 26.0. The results showed that among the 101 oral prescriptions included in the statistics, the top 5 drugs were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and among the 49 external prescriptions included in the statistics, the top 5 drugs were Myrrha, Olibanum, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Borneolum Syntheticum, and Chuanxiong Rhizoma. Whether oral or external prescriptions, the drugs were mainly warm in nature, and bitter, pungent, and sweet in flavor. According to TCM complex network analysis, the core drugs were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Chuanxiong Rhizoma in oral prescriptions, and Olibanum, Myrrha, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, and Angelicae Sinensis Radix in external prescriptions. Overall, the therapeutic principles of oral prescriptions were mainly replenishing Qi, nourishing blood, and promoting Qi and blood circulation, while those of external prescriptions were activating blood, resolving stasis, promoting Qi flow, and relieving pain on the basis of the oral prescriptions. In the future research and development of TCM compounds against pain, the prescriptions should be modified with mind-tranquilizing and depression-relieving drugs. With the modernization of TCM, the development of new pain-relieving TCM compound patents based on ancient methods and clinical experience adhering to the guidance of TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation can meet the new demand for pain treatment in the current society and give full play to the advantages of TCM in pain treatment.

Abstract
Reactor neutrino experiments play a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of neutrinos. In this Letter, the evolution of the flux and spectrum as a function of the reactor isotopic content is reported in terms of the inverse-beta-decay yield at Daya Bay with 1958 days of data and improved systematic uncertainties. These measurements are compared with two signature model predictions: the Huber-Mueller model based on the conversion method and the SM2018 model based on the summation method. The measured average flux and spectrum, as well as the flux evolution with the ^{239}Pu isotopic fraction, are inconsistent with the predictions of the Huber-Mueller model. In contrast, the SM2018 model is shown to agree with the average flux and its evolution but fails to describe the energy spectrum. Altering the predicted inverse-beta-decay spectrum from ^{239}Pu fission does not improve the agreement with the measurement for either model. The models can be brought into better agreement with the measurements if either the predicted spectrum due to ^{235}U fission is changed or the predicted ^{235}U, ^{238}U, ^{239}Pu, and ^{241}Pu spectra are changed in equal measure.

Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the reasons of missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis on anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) by echocardiography. Methods: This is a retrospective study. Patients with ALCAPA who underwent surgical treatment in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from August 2008 to December 2021 were included. According to the results of preoperative echocardiography and surgical diagnosis, the patients were divided into confirmed group or missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis group. The results of preoperative echocardiography were collected, and the specific echocardiographic signs were analyzed. According to the experience of the doctors, the echocardiographic signs were divided into four types, namely clear displayed, vague/doubtful displayed, no display and no notice, and the display rate of each sign was calculated (display rate=number of clearly displayed cases/total number of cases×100%). By referring the surgical data, we analyzed and recorded the pathological anatomy and pathophysiological characteristics of the patients, and the rate of missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis of echocardiography in patients with different characteristics was compared. Results: A total of 21 patients were enrolled, including 11 males, aged 1.8 (0.8, 12.3) years (range 1 month to 47 years). Except for one patient with anomalous origin of left anterior descending artery, the others were all originated from the main left coronary artery (LCA). There were 13 cases of ALCAPA in infant and children, and 8 cases of adult ALCAPA. There were 15 cases in the confirmed group (diagnostic accuracy was 71.4% (15/21)), and 6 cases in the missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis group (three cases were misdiagnosed as primary endocardial fibroelastosis, two cases were misdiagnosed as coronary-pulmonary artery fistula; and one case was missed diagnosis). The working years of the physicians in the confirmed group were longer than those in the missed diagnosis/misdiagnosed group ((12.8±5.6) years vs. (8.3±4.7) years, P=0.045). In infants with ALCAPA, the detection rate of LCA-pulmonary shunt (8/10 vs. 0, P=0.035) and coronary collateral circulation (7/10 vs. 0, P=0.042) in confirmed group was higher than that in missed diagnosis/misdiagnosed group. In adult ALCAPA patients, the detection rate of LCA-pulmonary artery shunt was higher in confirmed group than that in missed diagnosis/misdiagnosed group (4/5 vs. 0, P=0.021). The missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis rate of adult type was higher than that of infant type (3/8 vs. 3/13, P=0.410). The rate of missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis was higher in patients with abnormal origin of branches than that of abnormal origin of main trunk (1/1 vs. 5/21, P=0.028). The rate of missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis in patients with LCA running between the main and pulmonary arteries was higher than that distant from the main pulmonary artery septum (4/7 vs. 2/14, P=0.064). The rate of missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension was higher than that in patients without severe pulmonary hypertension (2/3 vs. 4/18, P=0.184). The reasons with an echocardiography missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis rate of≥50% included that (1) the proximal segment of LCA ran between the main and pulmonary arteries; (2) abnormal opening of LCA at the right posterior part of the pulmonary artery; (3) abnormal origin of LCA branches; (4) complicated with severe pulmonary hypertension. Conclusions: Echocardiography physicians' knowledge of ALCAPA and diagnostic vigilance are critical to the accuracy of diagnosis. Attention should be paid to the pediatric cases with no obvious precipitating factors of left ventricular enlargement, regardless of whether the left ventricular function is normal or not, the origin of coronary artery should be routinely explored.

Abstract
Seriously abnormal data exist in the synchronous monitoring data of transformer DC bias, which causes serious data feature contamination and even affects the identification of transformer DC bias. For this reason, this paper aims to ensure the reliability and validity of synchronous monitoring data. This paper proposes an identification of abnormal data for the synchronous monitoring of transformer DC bias based on multiple criteria. By analyzing the abnormal data of different types, the characteristics of abnormal data are obtained. Based on this, the abnormal data identification indexes are introduced, including gradient, sliding kurtosis and Pearson correlation coefficient. Firstly, the Pauta criterion is used to determine the threshold of the gradient index. Then, gradient is used to identify the suspected abnormal data. Finally, the sliding kurtosis and Pearson correlation coefficient are used to identify the abnormal data. Data for synchronous monitoring of transformer DC bias in a certain power grid are used to verify the proposed method. The results show that the accuracy of the proposed method in identifying mutated abnormal data and zero-value abnormal data is claimed to be 100%. Compared with traditional abnormal data identification methods, the accuracy of the proposed method is significantly improved.

Abstract
Stress granules (SGs) are non-enveloped structures formed primarily via protein and RNA aggregation under various stress conditions, including hypoxia and viral infection, as well as oxidative, osmotic, and heat-shock stress. SGs assembly is a highly conserved cellular strategy to reduce stress-related damage and promote cell survival. At present, the composition and dynamics of SGs are well understood; however, data on the functions and related mechanisms of SGs are limited. In recent years, SGs have continued to attract attention as emerging players in cancer research. Intriguingly, SGs regulate the biological behavior of tumors by participating in various tumor-associated signaling pathways, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, chemotherapy resistance, radiotherapy resistance, and immune escape. This review discusses the roles and mechanisms of SGs in tumors and suggests novel directions for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused devastating impacts on the public health and the global economy. Rapid viral antigenic evolution has led to the continual generation of new variants. Of special note is the recently expanding Omicron subvariants that are capable of immune evasion from most of the existing neutralizing antibodies (nAbs). This has posed new challenges for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Therefore, exploring broad-spectrum antiviral agents to combat the emerging variants is imperative. In sharp contrast to the massive accumulation of mutations within the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD), the S2 fusion subunit has remained highly conserved among variants. Hence, S2-based therapeutics may provide effective cross-protection against new SARS-CoV-2 variants. Here, we summarize the most recently developed broad-spectrum fusion inhibitors (e.g., nAbs, peptides, proteins, and small-molecule compounds) and candidate vaccines targeting the conserved elements in SARS-CoV-2 S2 subunit. The main focus includes all the targetable S2 elements, namely, the fusion peptide, stem helix, and heptad repeats 1 and 2 (HR1-HR2) bundle. Moreover, we provide a detailed summary of the characteristics and action-mechanisms for each class of cross-reactive fusion inhibitors, which should guide and promote future design of S2-based inhibitors and vaccines against new coronaviruses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ratoon rice cropping has been introduced for increased rice production in southern China and, as a result, has been becoming increasingly popular. However, only a few studies have addressed the regulatory mechanism underlying grain quality improvement induced by rice ratooning. RESULTS In this study, parameters of rice quality, including head rice yield, chalky grain percentage, grain chalkiness degree, hardness and taste value, were shown to be much improved in the ratooning season rice as compared to its counterparts main and late cropping season rice, indicating that such an improvement was irrespective of seasonal effects. In addition, the nutritional components of grains varied greatly between main-cropping season rice, ratooning season rice and late-cropping season rice and displayed a significant correlation with rice quality. Finally, the regulatory mechanism underlying rice quality improvement revealed that gibberellin-dominated regulation and plant hormone signal transduction jointly contributed to a decrease in formation of chalky grains. CONCLUSION This work improves our knowledge on rice quality improvement under rice ratooning, particularly on the regulatory mechanism of plant hormones. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
We present a new determination of the smallest neutrino mixing angle θ_{13} and the mass-squared difference Δm_{32}^{2} using a final sample of 5.55×10^{6} inverse beta-decay (IBD) candidates with the final-state neutron captured on gadolinium. This sample is selected from the complete dataset obtained by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment in 3158 days of operation. Compared to the previous Daya Bay results, selection of IBD candidates has been optimized, energy calibration refined, and treatment of backgrounds further improved. The resulting oscillation parameters are sin^{2}2θ_{13}=0.0851±0.0024, Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.466±0.060)×10^{-3} eV^{2} for the normal mass ordering or Δm_{32}^{2}=-(2.571±0.060)×10^{-3} eV^{2} for the inverted mass ordering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors for operation complications of high-dose-rate dimensional (3D) interstitial brachytherapy for lung malignant tumors are still unclear. We aimed to provide a reliable reference for the preoperative safety assessment of interstitial brachytherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the degree and incidence of operational complications in 120 eligible patients with lung carcinoma who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided HDR interstitial brachytherapy. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to study the relationships between patient-related factors, tumor-related factors, operation-related factors, and operational complications. RESULTS The most frequent complications of CT-guided HDR interstitial brachytherapy were pneumothorax and hemorrhage. In univariate analysis, smoking, emphysema, distance of implanted needles through the normal lung tissue, number of implanted needle adjustments, and distance of the lesion from the pleura were the risk factors for pneumothorax; the tumor size, distance of the tumor from the pleura, number of implanted needle adjustments, and distance of the implanted needle through the normal lung tissue were risk factors for hemorrhage. In multivariate analysis, the depth of the implanted needle through the normal lung tissue and distance of the lesion from the pleura were independent risk factors for pneumothorax. Tumor size, number of implanted needle adjustments, and distance through normal lung tissue were independent risk factors for hemorrhage. CONCLUSION This study provides a reference for the clinical treatment of lung cancer by analyzing the risk factors for complications of interstitial brachytherapy.
