Abstract
The first examples of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) PROTACs were designed and synthesized. Among them, the most potent degrader, ZS-7, demonstrated selective and effective ATR degradation in ATM-deficient LoVo cells, with a DC50 value of 0.53 μM. Proteasome-mediated ATR degradation by ZS-7 lasted approximately 12 h after washout in the LoVo cell lines. Notably, ZS-7 demonstrated reasonable PK profiles and, as a single agent or in combination with cisplatin, showed improved antitumor activity and safety profiles compared with the parent inhibitor AZD6738 in a xenograft mouse model of LoVo human colorectal cancer cells upon intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (pH) due to left heart disease (pH-LHD) is the most common form of pH in clinical practice. OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study is to develop a diagnostic nomogram predictive model combining conventional noninvasive examination and detection indicators. METHODS Our study retrospectively included 361 patients with left heart disease (LHD) who underwent right heart catheterization between 2013 and 2020. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (253, 70 %) and a validation cohort (108, 30 %). pH was defined as resting mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg measured by RHC examination. Data dimension reduction and feature selection were used by Lasso regression model. The nomogram was constructed based on multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 175 patients with LHD were diagnosed with pH during their hospitalization, representing 48.5 % of the cohort. The mean age of the overall group was 55.6 years, with 76.7 % being male patients. Excessive resting heart rate, elevated New York Heart Association functional class, increased red blood cell distribution width, right ventricular end-diastolic diameter, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure measured by echocardiography were independently associated with the prevalence of pH-LHD. The inclusion of these 5 variables in the nomogram showed good discrimination (AUC = 0.866 [95 % CI, 0.820-0.911]) and optimal calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P = 0.791) for the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS The noninvasive nomogram of pH-LHD developed in this study has excellent diagnostic value and clinical applicability, and can more accurately evaluate the presence risk of pH in patients with LHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) among adults with abdominal obesity and to evaluate the necessity of differentiating severity of abdominal obesity. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study and prospective cohort study. METHODS National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data between 2011 and 2020 were included for cross-sectional analyses. Class I, II and III abdominal obesity were created by dividing waist circumference within sex-specific abdominal obesity range into tertiles. Age-standardized prevalence of CMDs was estimated and differences by severity of abdominal obesity were compared using Poisson regressions. Prospective analyses were performed using NHANES data between 1988 and 2018 with linked mortality data. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between severity of abdominal obesity and mortality. RESULTS Among 23,168 adults included (mean age: 47.8 years, 49.3% men), 13,307 (57.4%) had abdominal obesity. Among adults with abdominal obesity, the estimated prevalence of diabetes was 17.3% (95% confidence interval: 16.3%, 18.2%), hypertension 39.3% (38.2%, 40.3%), dyslipidemia 59.5% (58.0%, 61.1%), cardiovascular disease 9.0% (8.3%, 9.8%), chronic kidney disease 16.8% (15.9%, 17.7%) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease 39.9% (38.4%, 41.4%). The estimated prevalence was 55.5% (53.8%, 57.2%) for having ≥2 CMDs. Compared with class I abdominal obesity, class III abdominal obesity was related to a 43%-184% higher prevalence of CMDs and a 44% higher risk of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of CMDs was high and multimorbidity of CMDs was common among US adults with abdominal obesity. The prevalence of CMDs and risk of mortality differed significantly by severity of abdominal obesity.

Abstract
To explore the association of ventricle epicardial fat volume (EFV) calculated by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and the insulin resistance indicator of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in patients with chronic HF (CHF), this retrospective cohort study included adult CHF patients with confirmed diagnosis of heart failure from January 2018 to December 2020. All patients underwent 3.0T CMR, and EFV were measured under short-axis cine. Spearman correlation, multivariate linear regression, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were used to analyze their association. There were 516 patients with CHF, of whom 69.8% were male. Median EFV was 57.14mL and mean TyG index was 8.48. Spearman correlation analysis showed that TyG index was significantly correlated with the EFV in CHF patients (r = 0.247, P < 0.001). Further analysis showed that TyG index levels were significantly associated with EFV as both continuous variables (Unstandardized β = 6.556, P < 0.001) and across the increasing quartiles (β = 7.50, 95% CI [1.41, 13.59], P < 0.05). RCS demonstrated there were a positive trend and linear association between EFV and TyG index in CHF patients (P for nonliearity = 0.941). In patients with CHF, the TyG index was positively and linearly associated with the EFV, which supports the metabolic roles of epicardial adipose tissue regarding insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Okhaldhunga is a hilly district with fragile socioeconomic conditions, limited access to health care, social stigma, and poor resource management, where most people rely on medicinal plants for primary health care. The use of medicinal plants for primary health care varies with socioeconomic attributes. Following the intra-cultural analysis, we documented and tested the hypothesis that use of medicinal plants in Champadevi, Okhaldhunga, Nepal, depends on socioeconomic variables. METHODS We interviewed 224 respondents, 53.12% female and 46.88% male, including 31 Brahmin, 157 Chhetri, 13 Dalit, and 23 Janajati, and conducted three focused group discussions and seven key informant interviews to record the ethnomedicinal plants used in Champadevi rural municipality, Okhaldhunga District. The relative frequency of citation (RFC) was computed to know the importance of the species. A generalized linear model (GLM) was used to see the relationship between medicinal plants reported with the sociocultural variables, which include age, gender, occupation, education, ethnicity, and religion. RESULTS We documented 149 medicinal plants, including 69 herbs, 22 shrubs, nine climbers, 48 trees, and one parasitic plant, belonging to 68 families and 130 genera, and used to treat 48 distinct diseases and ailments. Plant parts, leaf, and digestive disorders were frequently treated during healing. Curcuma angustifolia was the most cited species with RFC 0.9554. The respondents' knowledge of medicinal plant use varied significantly with age (p = 0.0001) and occupation (p = 0.003). Changes in land use, population decline of medicinal plant species, and unsustainable harvesting practices constituted the local threats to medicinal plants and associated knowledge. Elders died without passing on their knowledge to the younger generations during sociocultural transformation, and youth disinterest coupled with the free availability of allopathic medicine led to knowledge erosion. CONCLUSIONS The use of medicinal plants in Champadevi, Okhaldhunga, was significantly depended on two socioeconomic variables age and occupation. Ethnomedicinal plants are essential in the primary healthcare system in Nepal; however, their availability and practices are declining. Thus, plans regulating land use change and human migration, acknowledging traditional healthcare practices, and raising awareness of the significance of traditional medical practices as complementary healthcare practices should be strengthened.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional assessment of right ventricle (RV) using gated myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) heavily relies on the precise extraction of right ventricular contours. PURPOSE In this paper, we present a new deep-learning-based model integrating both the spatial and temporal features in gated MPS images to perform the segmentation of the RV epicardium and endocardium. METHODS By integrating the spatial features from each cardiac frame of the gated MPS and the temporal features from the sequential cardiac frames of the gated MPS, we developed a Spatial-Temporal V-Net (ST-VNet) for automatic extraction of RV endocardial and epicardial contours. In the ST-VNet, a V-Net is employed to hierarchically extract spatial features, and convolutional long-term short-term memory (ConvLSTM) units are added to the skip-connection pathway to extract the temporal features. The input of the ST-VNet is ECG-gated sequential frames of the MPS images and the output is the probability map of the epicardial or endocardial masks. A Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) loss which penalizes the discrepancy between the model prediction and the manual annotation was adopted to optimize the segmentation model. RESULTS Our segmentation model was trained and validated on a retrospective dataset with 45 subjects, and the cardiac cycle of each subject was divided into eight gates. The proposed ST-VNet achieved a DSC of 0.8914 and 0.8157 for the RV epicardium and endocardium segmentation, respectively. The mean absolute error, the mean squared error, and the Pearson correlation coefficient of the RV ejection fraction (RVEF) between the manual annotation and the model prediction were 0.0609, 0.0830, and 0.6985. CONCLUSION Our proposed ST-VNet is an effective model for RV segmentation. It has great promise for clinical use in RV functional assessment.

Abstract
Background Personal protective equipment (PPE) helps protect healthcare workers (HCWs) from infection and prevents cross-contamination. Knowledge of the contamination dynamics of PPE during the management of COVID-19 patients in a makeshift hospital is limited. Aim To describe the rate of SARS-CoV-2 contamination in PPE and to assess the change of contamination at different time points. Methods HCWs were followed up for up to 4 hours with hourly collection of swab samples from PPE surfaces in a makeshift COVID-19 hospital setting. Swabs were tested using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Results SARS-CoV-2 was detected on 50.9% of the 1620 swabbed samples from 9 different sites of full-body PPE worn by HCWs. The proportion of sites contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 RNA varied from 10.6% to 95.6%. Viral RNA was most frequently detected from the sole of the outer foot cover (95.6%) and least frequently on the face shield (10.6%). The median Ct values among positive samples were 34.20 (IQR, 32.61-35.22) and 34.05 (IQR, 32.20-35.39) for ORF1ab and N genes, respectively. The highest rate of contamination with SARS-CoV-2 RNA for the PPE swab samples was found after 3 hours of use. The positive rate of outer surface of HEPA filters from air supply device was 82.1% during the full capacity period of the makeshift hospital. Conclusion A higher rate of contamination was identified at 3 hours after the entrance to the COVID-19 patient care area. Virus-containing aerosols were trapped in the HEPA filter of air supply equipment, representing a potential protective factor against infection to HCWs.

Abstract
Nonomuraea gerenzanensis (N. gerenzanensis) is known for its ability to biosynthesize A40926, the precursor of the glycopeptide antibiotic (GPA) Dalbavancin. However, challenges and uncertainties related to the genetic manipulation of the rare actinomycetes remain. In order to improve the conjugation transfer of N. gerenzanensis, the crucial factors affecting conjugal transfer were evaluated, including agar medium, mycelial state, donor-recipient ratio, magnesium ion concentration, and antibiotic coverage time firstly. Additionally, γ-butyrolactone (GBL) for quorum sensing (QS) and antibiotics targeting bacterial walls were applied to evaluate their effects on conjugation transfer. As a result, the optimal conditions of 5%TSB of liquid medium, 24 h of the period time, V0.1 of agar medium, 30 mM of magnesium ion, the ratio 10:1 of donor-to-recipient, and 27 h of the overlaying time of antibiotic were determined. Furthermore, the results showed that autoinducer GBL and GPA teicoplanin had a synergetic effect on the conjugation transfer of N. gerenzanensis at a working concentration of 60 µM and 0.5 µg mL-1, respectively. The highest conjugation efficiency could reach about 1.3 depending on the optimal process conditions and the interference of QS and antibiotics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent and debilitating joint disease without an effective therapeutic option. Multiple risk factors for OA have been identified, including abnormal chondrocyte miRNA secretion and circadian rhythms disruption, both of which have been found to cause progressive damage and loss of articular cartilage. Environmental disruption of circadian rhythms in mice predisposes animals to cartilage injury and OA. METHODS The role of miR-195/497 cluster during OA progression was verified by mouse OA model with intra-articular injection of Agomir and Antagomir. We performed micro-CT analysis, Osteoarthritis Research Society International scores, and histological analysis in mouse knee joints. RNA sequencing was performed on the mouse cartilage cell line to explore the molecular mechanism of the miR-195/497 cluster and proteins in signaling pathway were evaluated using Western blot. Senescence-associated phenotypes were detected by Western blot, senescence β-galactosidase staining, and immunofluorescence. RESULTS This study demonstrated that miR-195/497-5p expression is disrupted in OA with senescent chondrocytes. In addition, miR-195/497-5p influenced the circadian rhythm of mice chondrocytes by modulating the expression of the Per2 protein, resulting in the gradual degradation of articular cartilage. We found that the miR-195/497 cluster targets DUSP3 expression. The deletion of the miR-195/497 cluster increased the level of DUSP3 expression and decreased the levels of phosphorylated ERK 1/2 and CREB. Per2 transcription is upregulated by stimulating CREB and ERK 1/2 phosphorylation. CONCLUSION Our findings identify a regulatory mechanism connecting chondrocyte miR-195/497-5p to cartilage maintenance and repair and imply that circadian rhythm disturbances affected by miR-195/497-5p are risk factors for age-related joint diseases such as OA.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the details of environmental contamination status by SARS-CoV-2 in a makeshift COVID-19 hospital. Methods: Environmental samples were collected from a makeshift hospital. The extent of contamination was assessed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for SARS-CoV-2 RNA from various samples. Results: There was a wide range of total collected samples contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 RNA, ranging from 8.47% to 100%. Results revealed that 70.00% of sewage from the bathroom and 48.19% of air samples were positive. The highest rate of contamination was found from the no-touch surfaces (73.07%) and the lowest from frequently touched surfaces (33.40%). The most contaminated objects were the top surfaces of patient cubic partitions (100%). The median Ct values among strongly positive samples were 33.38 (IQR, 31.69-35.07) and 33.24 (IQR, 31.33-34.34) for ORF1ab and N genes, respectively. SARS-CoV-2 relic RNA can be detected on indoor surfaces for up to 20 days. Conclusion: The findings show a higher prevalence and persistence in detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the makeshift COVID-19 hospital setting. The contamination mode of droplet deposition may be more common than contaminated touches.

Abstract
We report on the first search for nuclear recoils from dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with the XENONnT experiment, which is based on a two-phase time projection chamber with a sensitive liquid xenon mass of 5.9 ton. During the (1.09±0.03) ton yr exposure used for this search, the intrinsic ^{85}Kr and ^{222}Rn concentrations in the liquid target are reduced to unprecedentedly low levels, giving an electronic recoil background rate of (15.8±1.3) events/ton yr keV in the region of interest. A blind analysis of nuclear recoil events with energies between 3.3 and 60.5 keV finds no significant excess. This leads to a minimum upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section of 2.58×10^{-47} cm^{2} for a WIMP mass of 28 GeV/c^{2} at 90% confidence level. Limits for spin-dependent interactions are also provided. Both the limit and the sensitivity for the full range of WIMP masses analyzed here improve on previous results obtained with the XENON1T experiment for the same exposure.

Abstract
Tumor cells endure continuous DNA replication stress, which opens the way to cancer development. Despite previous research, the prognostic implications of DNA replication stress on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have yet to be investigated. Here, we aimed to investigate the potential of DNA replication stress-related genes (DNARSs) in predicting the prognosis of individuals with LUAD. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) originated from the TCGA-LUAD dataset, and we constructed a 10-gene LUAD prognostic model based on DNARSs-related DEGs (DRSDs) using Cox regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrated excellent predictive capability for the LUAD prognostic model, while the Kaplan-Meier survival curve indicated a poorer prognosis in a high-risk (HR) group. Combined with clinical data, the Riskscore was found to be an independent predictor of LUAD prognosis. By incorporating Riskscore and clinical data, we developed a nomogram that demonstrated a capacity to predict overall survival and exhibited clinical utility, which was validated through the calibration curve, ROC curve, and decision curve analysis curve tests, confirming its effectiveness in prognostic evaluation. Immune analysis revealed that individuals belonging to the low-risk (LR) group exhibited a greater abundance of immune cell infiltration and higher levels of immune function. We calculated the immunopheno score and TIDE scores and tested them on the IMvigor210 and GSE78220 cohorts and found that individuals categorized in the LR group exhibited a higher likelihood of deriving therapeutic benefits from immunotherapy intervention. Additionally, we predicted that patients classified in the HR group would demonstrate enhanced sensitivity to Docetaxel using anti-tumor drugs. To summarize, we successfully developed and validated a prognostic model for LUAD by incorporating DNA replication stress as a key factor.

Abstract
Multiple viable theoretical models predict heavy dark matter particles with a mass close to the Planck mass, a range relatively unexplored by current experimental measurements. We use 219.4 days of data collected with the XENON1T experiment to conduct a blind search for signals from multiply interacting massive particles (MIMPs). Their unique track signature allows a targeted analysis with only 0.05 expected background events from muons. Following unblinding, we observe no signal candidate events. This Letter places strong constraints on spin-independent interactions of dark matter particles with a mass between 1×10^{12} and 2×10^{17} GeV/c^{2}. In addition, we present the first exclusion limits on spin-dependent MIMP-neutron and MIMP-proton cross sections for dark matter particles with masses close to the Planck scale.

Abstract
Lithocarpus konishii, a rare species endemic to islands in South China, was evaluated as a vulnerable species (VU) by the 'China Species Red List.' Here, we first presented the complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. konishii. The chloroplast genome was 161,059 bp in length with 36.76% GC content, containing a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,967 bp), a large single-copy region (LSC, 90,250 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,921 bp each). A total of 139 genes were predicted, including 87 protein-coding genes (CDS), 8 rRNAs, and 44 tRNAs. Based on the concatenated shared unique CDS sequence dataset, maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference methods were used to build the phylogenetic trees of 18 species from the Fagaceae family. Results indicated that L. konishii is closely related to L. longnux and L. pachyphyllus var. fruticosus, and forms a monophyly of the subfamily Castaneoideae with Castanopsis and Castanea. This study provides a theoretical basis for the conservation genomics of this endangered plant.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the prognostic values of ventricle epicardial fat volume (EFV) calculated by cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). A total of 516 patients with CHF (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 50%) were recruited, and 136 (26.4%) of whom experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within median follow-up of 24 months. The target marker-EFV was found to be associated with MACE in both univariate and multivariable analysis adjusted for various clinical variables (p < 0.01), regardless as a continuous variable and categorized by X-tile program. EFV also showed promising predictive ability, with an area under the curve of 0.612, 0.618, and 0.687 for the prediction of 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year MACE, respectively. In conclusion, EFV could be a useful prognostic marker for CHF patients, helping to identify individuals at greater risk of MACE.

Abstract
We studied the effect of CCDC3 on the viability of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. The levels of CCDC3 mRNA and the corresponding protein in MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, T-47D, and HCC1937 cell lines were measured by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting. Since MDA-MB-231 cells had higher expression of mRNA CCDC3 and CCDC3 protein, we used this cell line for transfection with small interfering RNA by lentivirus. Cell Counting Kit-8 and clone formation assay were used to detect the effects of CCDC3 knockdown on cell viability; flow cytometry was used to detect the effects of CCDC3 knockdown on cell apoptosis and cell cycle. In MDA-MB-231 cell line, the CCDC3 protein level was significantly down-regulated after CCDC3 knockdown in comparison with the control group (p<0.05). The cell viability and the number of clones in the CCDC3 knockdown group were significantly reduced (p<0.05), while the apoptosis rate significantly increased (p<0.05). Thus, after CCDC3 knockdown, cell viability is weakened in MDA-MB-231 cells, and cell apoptosis rate is increased. Therefore, CCDC3 gene is promising as a new candidate target for BC treatment.

Abstract
Lithocarpusdahuensis, a new Fagaceae species from Fujian Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to L.konishii, but its oblanceolate leaf blade has more pairs of acute teeth on the margin, denser lateral veins, smaller cupules enclosing up to 1/4-1/3 of the nut, and its nut is only half as long as those of L.konishii. The plastome of L.dahuensis was 161,303 bp in length and displayed the typical quadripartite structure. Phylogenetic analyses distinguished L.dahuensis from L.konishii with strong support based on whole plastome and nrITS, respectively.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone mineral density (BMD) is an independent risk factor of osteoporosis-related fractures. We performed gene-based burden tests to assess the association between rare variants and BMD, and identified several BMD candidate genes. PURPOSE BMD is highly heritable and a major predictor of osteoporotic fractures, but its genetic basis remains unclear. We aimed to identify rare risk variants contributing to BMD. METHODS Utilizing the newly released UK Biobank 200,643 exome dataset, we conducted a gene-based exome-wide association study in males and females, respectively. First, 100,639 males and 117,338 females with BMD values were included in the polygenic risk scores (PRS) analysis. Among individuals with lower 30% PRS, cases were individuals with top 10% BMD, and individuals with bottom 10% BMD were the controls. Considering the effects of vitamin D (VD), individuals with the highest 30% VD concentration were selected for VD-BMD analysis. After quality control, 741 males and 697 females were included in the BMD analysis, and 717 males and 708 females were included in the VD-BMD analysis. The variants were annotated by ANNOVAR software, then BMD and VD-BMD qualified variants were imported into the SKAT R-package to perform gene-based burden tests, respectively. RESULTS The gene-based burden test of the exonic variants identified genome-wide candidate associations in ANKRD18A (P = 1.60 × 10-5, PBonferroni adjust = 2.11 × 10-3), C22orf31 (P = 3.49 × 10-4, PBonferroni adjust = 3.17 × 10-2), and SPATC1L (P = 1.09 × 10-5, PBonferroni adjust = 8.80 × 10-3). For VD-BMD analysis, three genes were associated with BMD, such as NIPAL1 (P = 1.06 × 10-3, PBonferroni adjust = 3.91 × 10-2). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that rare variants contribute to BMD, providing new sights for broadening the genetic structure of BMD.

Abstract
Plaster board waste generated from industries, usually contains major proportion of calcium as calcium sulfate. In addition, fluoride is remarkably one among the constituents of this waste material which leaches off into the soil and aquatic environments and causes fluoride pollution. In order to simulate how the dumping of PBW causes fluoride contamination in soil and water sources, shaking and stirring based batch-mode leaching studies were conducted. These studies explored the leaching of fluoride as a function of particle size, agitation time, pH of the leaching solvent (distilled water), L/S (water: PBW) ratio, temperature and electrolytes. It was explored that 1 g of plaster board waste contains18.54 mg F per gram of PBP. High leaching of 3.72 mg F per liter was studied at pH 6.02 with Ca2+ and TDS contents of 1050 mg L-1 and1640 mg L-1 respectively. The influence of sodium electrolytes such as chloride, nitrate, hydrogen carbonate, carbonate, sulfate, borate, phosphate and acetate on the leaching of fluoride from PBW was studied. The influence of fluoride leaching by sodium phosphate recorded a high value of 12.75 mg L-1 with no detectable amount of calcium ions. The influence of eight electrolytic mixtures each containing five sodium electrolytes on fluoride leaching corroborated the highest leaching in mixtures containing phosphate followed by hydrogen carbonate/carbonate. Solutions of calcium and aluminium chloride and their mixture were used to measure the rate of leachable fluoride in solution. Furthermore, the fluoride leaching at different temperatures and acids was studied. Naturally occurring soils when blended with PBW were observed to immobilize fluoride and lessened the amount of leaching fluoride in water. Various characterization studies such as FTIR, Raman, FESEM (with EDS), XRD and XPS were carried out for PBW and its treated samples using different electrolytes. Fluoride leaching proportionate to the precipitation of carbonate and phosphate was recorded in the case of appropriate electrolyte and mixtures.

Abstract
Glycopeptide antibiotics (GPAs) are a family of non-ribosomal peptide natural products with polypeptide skeleton characteristics, which are considered the last resort for treating severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens. Over the past few years, an increasing prevalence of Gram-positive resistant strain "superbugs" has emerged. Therefore, more efforts are needed to study and modify the GPAs to overcome the challenge of superbugs. In this mini-review, we provide an overview of the complex biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), the ingenious crosslinking and tailoring modifications, the new GPA derivatives, the discoveries of new natural GPAs, and the new applications of GPAs in antivirus and anti-Gram-negative bacteria. With the development and interdisciplinary integration of synthetic biology, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and artificial intelligence (AI), more GPAs with new chemical structures and action mechanisms will constantly be emerging.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the MRI manifestations of lymphoepithelioma-like intrahep cholangiocarcinoma (LEL-ICC). Methods: MR images of 26 cases with LEL-ICC confirmed pathologically at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University between March 2011 and March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The number, location, size, morphology, edges of lesions, non-scan signal intensity, cystic necrosis, enhancement mode, peak, and capsule, vascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and other MR images were included for analysis. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the lesion and the surrounding normal liver parenchyma were measured. A paired-sample t-test was used to statistically analyze the measurement data. Results: All 26 cases of LEL-ICC had solitary lesions. Mass-type LEL-ICC was the most common [n=23, lesion size (4.02±2.32) cm] with distribution along the bile duct [n=3, lesion size (7.23±1.40 cm)]. Among the 23 lesions of mass type LEL-ICC, most of the lesions were close to the liver capsule (n=20), round (n=22), clearly bordered (n=13), and cystic necrosis (n=22). In the three lesions of LEL-ICC distributed along the bile duct, most of them were close to the liver capsule (n=2), irregular (n=3), blurred edges (n=3), and cystic necrosis (n=3). All 26 lesions showed a low/slightly low signal on T1WI, a high/slightly high signal on T2WI, and a slightly high or high signal on DWI. Three lesions showed fast-in and fast-out enhancement modes, and 23 lesions showed continuous enhancement. Twenty-five lesions showed peak enhancement in the arterial phase, and one lesion appeared in the delayed phase. The ADC value of 26 lesions and adjacent normal liver parenchyma was (1.112±0.274)×10-3 mm2/s and (1.482±0.346)×10-3 mm2/s, respectively, and the both had a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Certain manifestations of LEL-ICC in magnetic resonance imaging are advantageous for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the application experience and the therapeutic effect of Nirmatrelvir-Ritonavir (trade name: Paxlovid) for COVID-19 in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data, including collecting the clinical manifestations and clinical outcomes, dynamically monitoring the blood routine, hepatic and renal function and SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid results, and observing the related side effects during the treatment, etc, of 3 cases with COVID-19 treated with Paxlovid admitted to Shanghai Children's Hospital (designated referral hospital for SARS-CoV-2 infection in Shanghai) from May 1st to June 1st, 2022. Results: The 3 cases were 12, 14, 17 years of age, among which 2 cases were males, 1 case was female. All 3 cases were mild cases with underlying diseases and risk of developing into severe COVID-19, with symptoms of high fever, sore throat and dry cough. The treatment of Paxlovid at 3rd day of symptom onset contributed to the symptom-free after 1-2 days and negative results of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid after 2-4 days. All patients had no adverse manifestations of gastrointestinal tract and nervous system but a case had little skin rashes, which recovered after the withdrawal of Paxlovid. Three cases had normal hepatic and renal function during the Paxlovid treatment. At 3 months after discharge, no clinical manifestations of post-COVID syndrome were found in all 3 cases. Conclusion: Paxlovid was effective and relatively safe in the treatment of 3 children with COVID-19.

Abstract
We report on a blinded analysis of low-energy electronic recoil data from the first science run of the XENONnT dark matter experiment. Novel subsystems and the increased 5.9 ton liquid xenon target reduced the background in the (1, 30) keV search region to (15.8±1.3) events/(ton×year×keV), the lowest ever achieved in a dark matter detector and ∼5 times lower than in XENON1T. With an exposure of 1.16 ton-years, we observe no excess above background and set stringent new limits on solar axions, an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment, and bosonic dark matter.

Abstract
Selenium plays an important role in the biological system and can be used to treat various types of diseases. However, the current selenium delivery systems face the problems of low activity of released Se-containing compounds or nonspecific toxicity of reactive organic selenium donors in living systems. In response to these problems, we constructed a reactive organic selenium delivery platform by the activation of HOCl. Compared with prodrugs without activation capability, the hypochloroselenoite derivatives released from the present platform after activation displayed higher reactivity and could react with various nucleophiles to participate in specific life processes. Taking the selected compound (DHU-Se1) as an example, we found that it could alleviate the process of inflammation by blocking the polarization of macrophages from M0 to M1. Therefore, the development of this system is of great significance for expanding the application of selenium-containing compounds and treating related diseases.

Abstract
Sterile inflammation characterized by unresolved chronic inflammation is well established to promote the progression of multiple autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, collectively termed as sterile inflammatory diseases. In recent years, substantial evidence has revealed that the inflammatory response is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway which is activated by cytoplasmic DNA promotes the activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) or nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), thus leading to upregulation of the levels of inflammatory factors and interferons (IFNs). Therefore, studying the role of inflammation caused by cGAS-STING pathway in cardiovascular diseases could provide a new therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases. This review focuses on that cGAS-STING-mediated inflammatory response in the progression of cardiovascular diseases and the prospects of cGAS or STING inhibitors for treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background There are strong association between remnant cholesterol (RC)/non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHDL-C) and increase cardiovascular (CV) risk. The aim of present study was to investigate the association between target lipid parameters (RC and NHDL-C) and the risk of CV mortality in general population. Methods Data set from an open database—National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2003–2014 were extracted (n = 14992). Kaplan-Meier, multivariable COX regression, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) parameters. Results Compared to the lowest quartile, RC (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.63 95%CI 1.05–2.52, P for trend = 0.037) and triglycerides (TG: Model 3: HR = 1.69 95%CI 1.10–2.60, P for trend = 0.049) in the highest quartile were independently associated with the increased cardiovascular mortality, while NHDL-C and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in adjusted models did not show association (P for trend >0.05). In addition, RCS regression demonstrated that RC (P for nonlinearity = 0.011) and TG (P for nonlinearity = 0.010) levels had a similar J-shape association with CV mortality. Threshold effect analysis showed that when RC ≤ 29.3 mg/dL, the level of RC and CV mortality risk were positively correlated. Conclusions Our findings suggest high RC levels are associated with an increased risk of CV mortality, which support that the integration of TG-rich lipoproteins parameters in risk assessment might optimize the identification and management of selected population.

Abstract
Background: Drugs based on synthetic lethality have advantages such as inhibiting tumor growth and affecting normal tissue in vivo. However, specific targets for osteosarcoma have not been acknowledged yet. In this study, a non-targeted but controllable drug delivery system has been applied to selectively enhance synthetic lethality in osteosarcoma in vitro, using the magnetic-driven hydrogel microrobots. Methods: In this study, EPZ015666, a PRMT5 inhibitor, was selected as the synthetic lethality drug. Then, the drug was carried by hydrogel microrobots containing Fe3O4. Morphological characteristics of the microrobots were detected using electron microscopy. In vitro drug effect was detected by the CCK-8 assay kit, Western blotting, etc. Swimming of microrobots was observed by a timing microscope. Selective inhibition was verified by cultured tumors in an increasing magnetic field. Results: Genomic mutation of MTAP deletion occurred commonly in pan-cancer in the TCGA database (nearly 10.00%) and in osteosarcoma in the TARGET database (23.86%). HOS and its derivatives, 143B and HOS/MNNG, were detected by MTAP deletion according to the CCLE database and RT-PCR. EPZ015666, the PRMT5 inhibitor, could reduce the SDMA modification and inhibition of tumor growth of 143B and HOS/MNNG. The hydrogel microrobot drug delivery system was synthesized, and the drug was stained by rhodamine. The microrobots were powered actively by a magnetic field. A simulation of the selected inhibition of microrobots was performed and lower cell viability of tumor cells was detected by adding a high dose of microrobots. Conclusion: Our magnetic-driven drug delivery system could carry synthetic lethality drugs. Meanwhile, the selective inhibition of this system could be easily controlled by programming the strength of the magnetic field.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of compound analgesia on ultra-pulsed fractional carbon dioxide laser (UFCL) treatment of post-burn hypertrophic s in children. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. From April 2018 to March 2020, 169 pediatric patients with post-burn hypertrophic s admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University were randomly divided into general anesthesia alone group (39 cases, 19 males and 20 females, aged 35 (21, 48) months), general anesthesia+lidocaine group (41 cases, 23 males and 18 females, aged 42 (22, 68) months), general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group (41 cases, 25 males and 16 females, aged 38 (26, 52) months), and three-drug combination group with general anesthesia + lidocaine+ibuprofen suppository (48 cases, 25 males and 23 females, aged 42 (25, 60) months), and the pediatric patients in each group were treated with corresponding analgesic regimens when UFCL was used to treat s, and the pediatric patients were given comprehensive care throughout the treatment process. The pain degree of pediatric patients scar was evaluated by facial expression,legs,activity,cry,and consolability (FLACC) of children's pain behavior scale at 0 (immediately), 1, 2, and 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, respectively. At 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia of postoperative pain assessment, the self-made analgesia satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the satisfaction for the analgesic effect of the pediatric patients or their families, and the satisfaction rate was calculated. Within 2 h after the first operation, the occurrences of adverse reactions of the pediatric patients, such as nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, etc, were observed and recorded. Before the first treatment and 1 month after the last treatment, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the pediatric patients scar, and the difference value between the two was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with least significant difference test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, chi-square test and Fisher's exact probability test. Results: At 0 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the FLACC scores of pediatric patients in general anesthesia+lidocaine group, general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were significantly lower than those in general anesthesia alone group (P<0.01). The FLACC scores of the pediatric patients in anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were significantly lower than that in general anesthesia+lidocaine group (P<0.01), and the FLACC score of the pediatric patients in three-drug combination group was significantly lower than that in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group (P<0.01). At 1 and 2 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the FLACC scores of pediatric patients in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were both significantly lower than those in general anesthesia alone group and general anesthesia+lidocaine group (P<0.01), and the FLACC score of the pediatric patients in three-drug combination group was significantly lower than that in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group (P<0.01). At 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the FLACC scores of the pediatric patients in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were significantly lower than those in general anesthesia alone group and general anesthesia+lidocaine group (P<0.01). At 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the satisfactions rate with the analgesic effect in the four groups of pediatric patients or their families were 79.49% (31/39), 85.37% (35/41), 87.80% (36/41), and 97.92% (47/48), respectively. The satisfaction rate of the pediatric patients in three-drug combination group was significantly higher than those in general anesthesia alone group, general anesthesia+lidocaine group, general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group. Within 2 h after the first operation, there was no significant difference in the overall comparison of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness of pediatric patients among the 4 groups (P>0.05). The VSS scores of pediatric patients before the first treatment, 1 month after the last treatment, and and the difference value between the two in the 4 groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). Conclusions: Three-drug combination for analgesia has a good effect in the treatment of hypertrophic scars after burn in pediatric patients with UFCL. Pediatric patients or their families are highly satisfied with the effect, and the treatment effect and incidence of adverse reactions are similar to other analgesic regimens, so it is recommended to be promoted in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), this study aimed to explore the relationship between ethylene oxide (EO) exposure and serum lipid profiles as well as the mediation effect of systemic inflammation among the general adult population. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed NHANES data from 2013 to 2016, examining a total of 2721 participants. The EO biomarker (hemoglobin adduct of EO [HbEO]) was quantified in blood using a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method. The association among HbEO levels, inflammatory biomarkers, and four serum lipids was evaluated using a multivariable linear regression model. Mediating analysis was performed to examine the effect of inflammatory biomarkers on the relationship between HbEO levels and serum lipid profiles. RESULTS As the quartiles of HbEO increased, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) monotonically decreased (p for trend <0.001). Using the lowest quartile of HbEO as a reference, the percent change for HDL-C was 6.30% (95% CI: 3.89%, 8.71%) in the highest quartile of HbEO. HbEO levels were dose-dependently associated with triglycerides (TG) (p for trend = 0.001). The percent change in TG in the fourth quartile of HbEO was 17.24% (95% CI: 2.01%, 32.48%) compared to the first quartile. Overall, inflammatory biomarkers (hs-CRP, alkaline phosphatase, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, and lymphocyte count) increased monotonically in correlation with increasing HbEO levels (all p for trend <0.01); were positively correlated with total cholesterol (TC), TG, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); and were negatively associated with HDL-C. Additionally, inflammatory biomarkers strongly mediated the relationships between HbEO and HDL-C and TG with maximum mediated proportions of 21.40% and 33.40%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that HbEO is closely linked to serum lipid profiles and that systemic inflammation may be a key mediator of this association.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) imaging features and non-LI-RADS imaging features can predict aggressive pathological features in adult patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS From February 2018 to September 2021, 236 adult patients with cirrhosis or hepatitis B virus infection in which liver cancer was suspected underwent MRI within 1 month before surgery. Significant MRI findings and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level predicted high-grade HCC and microvascular invasion (MVI) by univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS The study included 112 patients with histopathologically confirmed liver cancer (≤5 cm), 35 of whom (31.3%) high-grade HCC and 42 of 112 (37.5%) patients had MVI. Mosaic architecture (odds ratio [OR] = 6.031; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.366, 26.626; p=0.018), coronal enhancement (OR=5.878; 95% CI: 1.471, 23.489; p=0.012), and intratumoural vessels (OR=5.278; 95% CI: 1.325, 21.020; p=0.018) were significant independent predictors of high-grade HCC. A non-smooth tumour margin (OR=10.237; 95% CI: 1.547, 67.760; p=0.016), coronal enhancement (OR=3.800; 95% CI: 1.152, 12.531; p=0.028), and peritumoural hypointensity on the hepatobiliary phase (HBP; OR=10.322; 95% CI: 2.733, 38.986; p=0.001) were significant independent predictors of MVI. CONCLUSION In high-risk adult patients with single LR-5 HCC (≤5 cm), mosaic architecture, coronal enhancement, and intratumoural vessels are independent predictors of high-grade HCC. Non-smooth tumour margin, coronal enhancement, and peritumoural hypointensity on HBP independently predicted MVI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate associations of resting heart rate (RHR) and blood pressure (BP) with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. METHODS A total of 67,028 Chinese participants aged ≥60 years were included in the analysis. RHR, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were evaluated according to quartiles ([41-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-127 beats/min], [80-119, 120-129, 130-139, 140-238 mm Hg], and [40-70, 71-79, 80-84, 85-133 mm Hg]). Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all-cause and CVD mortality with RHR, SBP, and DBP. Restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate the dose-response association. RESULTS During the 361,975 person-year follow-up, 9326 deaths were recorded, of which 5039 deaths were due to CVD. The risk of all-cause mortality was increased by 25% with the quartiles four vs quartile one of RHR (HR [95% CI]:1.25 [1.17-1.33]), and CVD mortality was increased by 32% (HR [95% CI]: 1.32 [1.22-1.44]). Similar results were observed when comparing the quartiles four vs quartile one of SBP with the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality (HRs [95% CIs]: 1.14 [1.07, 1.22] and 1.23 [1.12. 1.34]) and DBP with the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality (HRs [95% CIs]: 1.17 [1.11. 1.24] and 1.36 [1.26. 1.47]). We found linear associations of RHR, SBP, and DBP with all-cause and CVD mortality (Pnon-linearity >0.05), except for the approximately J-shaped association between DBP and all-cause mortality (Pnon-linearity = 0.008). There was a significant interaction of RHR and SBP with all-cause and CVD mortality (Pinteraction <0.05). CONCLUSIONS RHR and BP increased the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality, especially fast RHR combined with high SBP.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the dosage pattern, efficacy, and safety of sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) in Chinese heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients regarding real-world settings. Patients from 27 centers with a confirmed diagnosis of HFrEF and initiated Sac/Val treatment were enrolled. The primary objective was to evaluate the dosage pattern and change of heart failure status. In a final cohort of 983 patients, outpatient Sac/Val treatment demonstrated a similar beneficial effect in NT-proBNP and cardiac function. After initiating the treatment, overall and sub-population showed similar safety and efficacy. Patients who received a higher dose of Sac/Val (> 200 mg/d) demonstrated better improvement in LV function and reduction of NT-proBNP regardless of adjustment. Among Chinese HFrEF patients, Sac/Val showed a comparable reduction in NT-proBNP and improvement in cardiac function. Data further support guideline recommendations of Sac/Val in Chinese population. Optimal up-titration might provide further benefits. Further long-term and prognostic studies are needed.

Abstract
Objective Using a newly released National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data of serum Klotho, this study aimed to explore the relationship between Klotho and specific cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as well as the mediation effect of renal function, among middle-aged and older individuals within the general population. Methods This nationally representative cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2007–2016 NHANES. A total of 13,765 participants, who aged 40 years or older, from the general population were examined. Klotho were divided into four groups based on median and interquartile range. The associations among Klotho (exposure), congestive heart failure (CHF; outcome), and renal function markers [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR); mediators] were investigated using mediation analysis. Results In comparison to the lowest quartile, Klotho in the highest quartile was independently associated with the prevalence of CHF (OR 0.59; 95% CI 0.46–0.77, p for trend = 0.001), but not with other individual CVDs. Klotho had a significant direct effect on the prevalence of CHF (all p < 0.001), while eGFR, BUN, UA, and UACR partly mediated the indirect effect of Klotho on the prevalence of CHF (all p < 0.05), explaining 19.51, 6.98, 13.93, and 0.71% of the association between Klotho and CHF, respectively. Additionally, restricted cubic spline regression demonstrated a linear association and negative correlation between Klotho level and CHF. Conclusion These findings suggest that Klotho is closely linked to CHF and renal function may be a key mediator of this association.

Abstract
Aldehydes have been shown to be potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic, and cardiotoxic to humans. Dietary fiber reduces exposure to certain environmental pollutants and has been widely used to improve various metabolic disorders. However, the effects of dietary fiber on serum concentrations of aldehydes remain unexplored. Data was collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014. Generalized linear regression and restricted cubic spline models were performed to elucidate the association of dietary fiber intake with the serum concentration of aldehydes. After fully adjusting for age, sex, education level, race, smoking status, alcohol use, diabetes, hypertension, body mass index, energy intake, poverty-income ratio, and physical activity, dietary fiber intake had a strong negative association with serum levels of isopentanaldehyde and propanaldehyde and a positive association with serum levels of benzaldehyde. The estimated increases in the mean log2-unit (ng/mL) of aldehydes for each fold increase in dietary fiber were -0.140 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.195 to -0.085) for isopentanaldehyde, -0.060 (95% CI: -0.099 to -0.015) for propanaldehyde, and 0.084 (95% CI: 0.017 to 0.150) for benzaldehyde, respectively. No significant association was observed between dietary fiber intake and the concentration of any other aldehydes. These results demonstrate that dietary fiber reduces the concentration of certain aldehydes in serum.

Abstract
Mediation analysis aims to discover the role of intermediate variables from exposure to disease. The current study was performed to evaluate how vitamin D mediates the association between acrylamide hemoglobin biomarkers and obesity. Data were collected on 10,377 adults participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2006 and 2013-2014 aged ≥ 18 years. Obesity was assessed through body mass index and abdominal circumference measurements. Generalized linear and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were used to estimate the association between vitamin D and acrylamide hemoglobin biomarkers, and the mediation effect of vitamin D was also discussed. After adjusting for potentially confounding factors, vitamin D had strong negative associations with serum concentrations of acrylamide hemoglobin adducts (HbAA, HbGA, and HbAA + HbGA). The RCS plots demonstrated that vitamin D was inversely and nonlinearly associated with HbAA and HbAA + HbGA while inversely and linearly associated with HbGA, and also a striking difference when vitamin D was lower than 60 nmol/L. Mediation analysis suggested that a negative correlation between acrylamide and obesity was mediated by vitamin D. The current study is expected to offer a fresh perspective on reducing the toxicity of acrylamide.

Abstract
Purpose The current study aimed to develop a convenient and accurate prognostic dynamic nomogram model for the risk of all-cause death in acute heart failure (AHF) patients that incorporates clinical characteristics including N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and growth stimulation expresses gene 2 protein (ST2). Patients and Methods We prospectively studied 537 consecutive AHF patients and derived a clinical prediction model. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model combined with clinical characteristics were used for dimensional reduction and feature selection. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis and “Dynnom” package were used to build the dynamic nomogram for prediction of 1-,2-,and 5-year overall survival for AHF. With bootstrap validation, the time-dependent concordance index (C-index) and calibration curves were used to assess predictive discrimination and accuracy. The contributions of NT-pro BNP and ST2 to the nomogram were evaluated using integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification improvement (NRI), while decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to assess clinical value. Results Patients were randomly divided into derivation (74.9%, n=402) and validation (25.1%, n=135) cohorts. Optimal independent prognostic factors for 1-,2-, and 5-year all-cause mortality were BS-ACMR (B: NT-pro BNP; S: ST2; A: age; C: complete right bundle branch block; M: mean arterial pressure; and R: red cell distribution width >14.5%); these were incorporated into the dynamic nomogram (https://bs-acmr-nom.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/) with bootstrap validation. The C-indexes in the derivation (0.793) and validation (0.782) cohorts were consistent with comparable performance parameters. The calibration curve showed good agreement between the nomogram-predicted and actual survival. Adding NT-pro BNP and ST2 provided a significant net benefit and improved performance over other less adequate schemes in terms of DCA of survival probability compared to those neglecting either of these two factors. Conclusion The study constructed a dynamic BS-ACMR nomogram, which is a convenient, practical and effective clinical decision-making tool for providing accurate prognosis in AHF patients.

Abstract
The catalytic properties of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) may lead to uncontrolled off-tissue target degradation that causes potential toxicity, limiting their clinical applications. The precise control of this technology in a tissue-selective manner can minimize the potential toxicity. Hypoxia is a hallmark of most solid tumors, accompanied by elevated levels of nitroreductase (NTR). Based on this character, we presented a type of NTR-responsive PROTACs to selectively degrade proteins of interest (POI) in tumor tissues. Compound 17-1 was the first NTR-responsive PROTAC synthesized by incorporating the caging group on the Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand. It could be activated by NTR to release the active PROTAC 17 to efficiently degrade the EGFR protein and subsequently exert antitumor efficacy. Thus, a general strategy for the precise control of PROTAC to induce POI degradation in tumor tissues by NTR was established, which provided a generalizable platform for the development of NTR-controlled PROTACs to achieve selective degradation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In our study, we hypothesized that sternum-mental angle (SMA) was a totally new preoperative predictor of difficult laryngeal exposure (DLE). The main objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of SMA in predicting DLE in patients undergoing suspension microlaryngeal surgery, and we also searched for risk factors among the selected parameters. METHODS A total of 95 patients with vocal cord dysfunction who underwent microlaryngeal surgery were collected. According to the Cormack-Lehane classification method, the patients were divided into non-DLE group (n=73) and DLE group (n=22). Preoperative assessments included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), Modified Mallampati's index (MMI), neck circumference (NC), thyroid-mental distance at neutral position (TMD-NP), TMD at full extension position (TMD-FE), sternum-mental distance at neutral position (SMD-NP), SMD at full extension position (SMD-FE), SMA at neutral position (SMA-NP) and SMA at full extension position (SMA-FE). SMA was defined as the angle between the horizontal line and the line from upper border of the manubrium sterni to mental prominence, and SMA's ability to predict difficult laryngoscopy was compared with that of established predictors. RESULTS The DLE incidence of the enrolled patients was 23%. Univariate analysis showed that patients in DLE group presented significantly smaller SMA values. SMA-NP less than 13 provided 68.2% sensitivity and 83.6% specificity and SMA-FE less than 22.5 provided 86.4% sensitivity and 80.8% specificity for the detection of DLE. SMA-FE (≤22.5) exhibited the largest area under the curve (AUC: 0.868; 95% CI: 0.784-0.952), confirming its better predictive ability. Binary multivariate logistic regression analyses identified four risk factors including MMI, TMD-FE, TMD-NP which were independently associated with DLE. CONCLUSIONS SMA is a new and simple predictor with a higher level of efficacy, and could help otorhinolaryngologist plan for managements in patients with DLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Hakka are a subgroup of the Han Chinese, originally from northern China and mainly living in southern China now. Over hundreds of years, the Hakka have developed their own medical practices to prevent and cure diseases, such as medicinal soup, an important characteristic of Hakka cuisine. This study aims at documenting plant taxa used to make Hakka medicinal soup, along with their associated ethnomedical knowledge. METHODS Data on Hakka soup-making plants were collected through key-informant interviews, semi-structured interviews, participatory field collection, and direct observation. The choosing of participants has followed the snowball sampling method. Herbs used for preparing medicinal soup were purchased on the local market or collected from the wild, and voucher specimens were collected and identified. The study result was also compared with published studies on soup-making plants in other parts of Guangdong province and the Hakka areas in Fujian Province of China. RESULTS Eighty-three taxa belonging to 70 genera within 38 families were listed by our informants as being used to treat 55 kinds of health problems. Most documented plants are herbaceous species, followed by shrubs and woody liana. Roots were the most frequently used plant parts for medicinal purposes, followed, in descending order, by the whole plant, rhizomes, and flowers. Most plants used to prepare medicinal soup are wild-harvested (56 species), 4 cultivated, and 23 wild harvested or cultivated. According to the comparison, 18 Hakka medicinal soup species are shown both in Fujian Province and Guangdong Province. The Hakka soup-making plants in both provinces share very similar therapeutic functions. This study helps to extend the Hakka menu in both provinces. The study comparison also showed a big difference in the herb ingredients between Guangdong Hakka medicinal soup and Cantonese slow-cooked soup. CONCLUSION Hakka medicinal soup is an important feature of the Hakka dietary culture. More studies are needed to be undertaken, especially on the efficacy and safety of this medicinal soup. Moreover, cultivation and conservation efforts are required to ensure the sustainability of the species that are used as ingredients in the soup. Consequently, further commercial development of medicinal soup should be promoted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Malnutrition is associated with increased incidence of heart failure (HF). Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is one of the most important processes in the occurrence and evolution of HF. However, the association between nutritional status and LV remodeling is not well known. The study aimed to investigate the association between malnutrition and LV remodeling. DESIGN The study was a retrospective observation study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We included patients from the registry of Cardiorenal Improvement study from January 2007 to December 2018 at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. MEASUREMENTS The primary endpoint was LV remodeling, defined as an absolute decrease in LV ejection fraction ≥10% after discharge compared with baseline. Nutritional status was assessed by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. Eligible patients were divided into absent-mild malnutrition group (CONUT score ≤4) and moderate-severe malnutrition group (CONUT score >4). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was performed to verify the association between malnutrition and left ventricular remodeling. RESULTS A total of 7,217 patients (mean age 61.3±10.5 years, 71.7% male) were included in the final analysis, among which 712 (9.9%) had LV remodeling. The incidence of LV remodeling in moderate-severe malnutrition group was significantly higher than that in absent-mild malnutrition group (12.9% vs. 9.5%, p=0.002). In multivariable logistic regression, moderate-severe malnutrition group was significantly associated with 1.69-fold increased risk of LV remodeling after adjusting confounders (OR: 1.69, CI: 1.32-2.16). Similar results were observed in subgroup stratified by age, gender, and coronary artery disease. CONCLUSION Nearly one eighth of patients were classified as moderate-severe malnutrition, 12% of whom had LV remodeling. Moderate-severe malnutrition was associated with 69% increased risk of LV remodeling. Further studies are needed to prospectively evaluate the nutrition-oriented managements on outcomes in LV remodeling.

Abstract
The animal intestine is a complex ecosystem composed of host cells, gut microbiota and available nutrients. Gut microbiota can prevent the occurrence of intestinal diseases in animals by regulating the homeostasis of the intestinal environment. The intestinal microbiota is a complex and stable microbial community, and the homeostasis of the intestinal environment is closely related to the invasion of intestinal pathogens, which plays an important role in protecting the host from pathogen infections. Probiotics are strains of microorganisms that are beneficial to health, and their potential has recently led to a significant increase in studies on the regulation of intestinal flora. Various potential mechanisms of action have been proposed on probiotics, especially mediating the regulation mechanism of the intestinal flora on the host, mainly including competitive inhibition of pathogens, stimulation of the host's adaptive immune system and regulation of the intestinal flora. The advent of high-throughput sequencing technology has given us a clearer understanding and has facilitated the development of research methods to investigate the intestinal microecological flora. This review will focus on the regulation of probiotics on the microbial flora of intestinal infections in livestock and poultry and will depict future research directions.

Abstract
The incorporation of phosphogypsum (PG) in magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MPPC) can promote the utilization of PG not only by utilising the phosphate impurity in PG, but also by immobilising the heavy metals with MPPC. This paper investigates the feasibility of the incorporation of PG in preparing MPPC. Both early age properties, including workability and setting time, and hardened properties of compressive strength and microstructure, of PG-incorporated MPPC paste were investigated, and the hydration mechanism was explored. The results indicated that the addition of PG increased the workability of MPPC and extended the setting time of MPPC. However, incorporation of 20% PG slightly reduced the compressive strength because higher PG content led to the loose microstructure. Moreover, the addition of PG did not change the formation of hydration product, while it only reduced the hydration heat. Finally, compared to PG, the concentration of leached heavy metals of MPPC with PG was significantly reduced after 28 days curing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the relationship between urinary phthalate metabolites and total and specific cardiovascular disease (CVD) among the general adult population. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed 11 urinary phthalates in the general population from the 2005-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (n = 10,427). Multivariate logistic regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were applied to examine the relationship between phthalate metabolites and mixtures and the prevalence rates of total and specific CVD. RESULTS Compared to the lowest quartile, mono-isobutyl phthalate (MiBP) (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.03-1.83, P for trend = 0.032) and mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP) (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.10-1.88, P for trend = 0.013) in the highest quartile were independently associated with increased total CVD. The WQS index of phthalate mixtures was independently correlated with total CVD (adjusted OR 1.17; 95% CI 1.01-1.36, P = 0.039), and MBzP (weight = 0.392) was the most heavily weighted component. In addition, restricted cubic spline regression demonstrated that the MBzP level had a positive correlation and linear association with total CVD (P for nonlinearity = 0.182). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that high phthalate mixture levels are associated with an increased prevalence of CVD, with the greatest influence coming from MBzP.
