Abstract
Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs), two-dimensional lipid films formed on a solid-supporting substrate, serve as models for biomembranes and exhibit remarkable potential in chemistry, biology, and medicine. However, preparing SLBs with highly negatively charged contents on the negatively charged surface by overcoming electrostatic repulsion remains a challenge. Here, a creative bicelle-mediated and divalent cation-free SLB preparation method with the assistance of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution was proposed, which can form the SLBs containing 50% DOPS or 30% CL on the silica surface monitored by a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). Results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation indicate that electrostatic repulsion can be overcome by the increased number of hydrogen bonds caused by the adsorption of dihydrogen phosphate ions onto the headgroups of lipids. In addition, the negatively charged SLB formation was identified to be a three-step kinetic process, which differs from a two-step mechanism in the case of amphoteric SLB. The extra kinetic step can be attributed to the reduction in the number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and the ordering of water molecules in the hydration layer. This investigation resolves the challenge of fabricating SLB over negatively charged surfaces and offers a fresh perspective on the SLB assembly methodology.

Abstract
We first sequenced and characterised the complete mitochondrial genome of Toxocara apodeme, then studied the evolutionary relationship of the species within Toxocaridae. The complete mitochondrial genome was amplified using PCR with 14 specific primers. The mitogenome length was 14303 bp in size, including 12 PCGs (encoding 3,423 amino acids), 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 2 NCRs, with 68.38% A+T contents. The mt genomes of T. apodemi had relatively compact structures with 11 intergenic spacers and 5 overlaps. Comparative analyses of the nucleotide sequences of complete mt genomes showed that T. apodemi had higher identities with T. canis than other congeners. A sliding window analysis of 12 PCGs among 5 Toxocara species indicated that nad4 had the highest sequence divergence, and cox1 was the least variable gene. Relative synonymous codon usage showed that UUG, ACU, CCU, CGU, and UCU most frequently occurred in the complete genomes of T. apodemi. The Ka/Ks ratio showed that all Toxocara mt genes were subject to purification selection. The largest genetic distance between T. apodemi and the other 4 congeneric species was found in nad2, and the smallest was found in cox2. Phylogenetic analyses based on the concatenated amino acid sequences of 12 PCGs demonstrated that T. apodemi formed a distinct branch and was always a sister taxon to other congeneric species. The present study determined the complete mt genome sequences of T. apodemi, which provide novel genetic markers for further studies of the taxonomy, population genetics, and systematics of the Toxocaridae nematodes.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the nervous system in recent centuries, and the incidence rate of glioma is increasing year by year. Its invasive growth and malignant biological behaviors make it one of the most challenging malignant tumors. Maximizing the resection range (EOR) while minimizing the impact on normal brain tissue is crucial for patient prognosis. Changes in metabolites produced by tumor cells and their microenvironments might be important indicators. As a powerful spectroscopic technique, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has many advantages, including ultra-high sensitivity, high specificity, and non-invasive features, which allow SERS technology to be widely applied in biomedicine, especially in the differential diagnosis of malignant tumor tissues. This review first introduced the clinical use of responsive SERS probes. Next, the sensing mechanisms of microenvironment-responsive SERS probes were summarized. Finally, the biomedical applications of these responsive SERS probes were listed in four sections, detecting tumor boundaries due to the changes of pH-responsive SERS probes, SERS probes to guide tumor resection, SERS for liquid biopsy to achieve early diagnosis of tumors, and the application of free-label SERS technology to detect fresh glioma specimens. Finally, the challenges and prospects of responsive SERS detections were summarized for clinical use.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of degenerative thoracolumbar kyphosis (DTLK) on the sagittal alignment of the spine, as well as the impact on spinal parameters and imbalance secondary to thoracolumbar kyphosis. Methods: A case-control study. A total of 128 DTLK patients who aged over 50 years [thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK)>15°] treated in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 (DTLK group) were retrospectively included in this study. Other 73 contemporaneous patients with lumbar spinal stenosis or disc herniation without thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK=0°±15°) were enrolled into the control group. The following parameters were obtained on spine X-ray: TLK, thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA). In addition, the osteoporosis (OP) was evaluated by dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and the L5/S1 disc signal grading (Pfirrmann grading) was evaluated on MRI. Based on the age, the Lafage formula SVA=2× (age-55)+25 was used to distinguish balance/imbalance, and the DTLK patients were divided into balanced and an imbalanced group, the characteristics and influencing factors of the loss of sagittal balance in this population were clarified, and the interaction among various parts of the spine under a state of balance was analyzed too. Results: The TK (30.0°±13.5° vs 24.2°±7.4°) and TLK (26.6°±9.7° vs 6.0°±6.6°) in the DTLK group were both larger than those in control group while LL was smaller (34.4°±17.7° vs 44.2°±10.3°) (all P<0.001). TK was correlated to TLK (r=0.234, P=0.008) and LL (r=0.539, P<0.001) in DTLK group. LL loss was positively correlated to L5/S1 disc signal reduction (r=0.253, P=0.044). LL loss [RR=1.04(1.01-1.08)] and OP [RR=3.97(1.09, 14.50)] were influencing factors for the occurrence of imbalance in DTLK patients. The influencing factors for TK in DTLK balance group were LL (β=0.572, P<0.001) and age (β=0.351, P=0.045). The positive influencing factor for TK in imbalanced group is LL (β=0.209, P=0.015), and the impact is weaker than balanced group. Conclusions: Loss of LL and osteoporosis are more likely to cause imbalance and kyphosis in DTLK patients. In DTLK balance group, the proximal spine is regulated by lumbar spine, and the synergistic effect between the two parts maintains balance.

Abstract
Polyphenolic compounds have natural antioxidant properties, and their antioxidant activity is usually related to the number and position of hydroxyls. Here, we successfully applied the engineered 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylases (4HPA3Hs) derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa to catalyze ferulic acid (FA) synthesis of ortho-hydroxyferulic acid (5-hydroxyferulic acid, 5-OHFA). Through optimization of co-expression, the oxygenase component (PaHpaB) and the reductase component (PaHpaC) in E. coli, and optimization of whole-cell catalytic conditions, the engineered strain BC catalyzed ortho-hydroxylation of 2 g/L of FA with a yield of 75 % from 39 %. Through tunnel engineering of PaHpaB, the obtained mutants F301A and Q376A almost completely transformed 2 g/L of FA. Further, a multiple mutant L214A/F301A/Q376A converted 4 g/L FA into 5-OHFA within 12 h, and the yield reached 99.9 %, which was approximately 2.39-fold of the wild type. The kcat/Km value of L214A/F301A/Q376A was about 307 times greater than that of the wide type. Analysis of three-dimensional structural models showed that L214, F301, and Q376 mutated into Ala, which greatly shortened the side chain and broadened the tunnel size, thereby significantly improving the catalytic efficiency of L214A/F301A/Q376A. This biosynthesis of 5-OHFA is simple, efficient, and green, suggesting that it is useful for efficient biosynthesis of polyphenolic compounds.

Abstract
This paper presents a novel reaction microscope designed for ion-atom collision investigations, established at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou, China. Its time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer employs an innovative flight-time focusing method consisting of two acceleration regions, providing optimal time focusing conditions for charged fragments with diverse initial velocities. The TOF spectrometer's axis intentionally tilts by 12° relative to the ion beam direction, preventing potential obstructions from the TOF grid electrodes. The introduced focusing method allows for a flexible time-focusing TOF spectrometer design without restricting the length ratio of the two regions. In addition, this configuration in our case significantly suppresses noise on the recoil ion detector produced by residual gas in the ion beam trajectory, which is a considerable challenge in longitudinal spectrometers. In a test experiment on the single electron capture reaction involving 62.5 keV/u He2+ ions and a helium atomic beam, the recoil longitudinal momentum resolution achieved 0.068 atomic units. This novel configuration and successful test run show excellent precision for ion-atom collision studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Public stigma towards people who use drugs is widespread and places obstacles in way of their recovery. Previous studies have used different approaches to measure public stigma, resulting in a notable gap in the understanding of the relationship between it and its associated factors. Some studies measure public stigma by assessing stigma perceived by those who use drugs, while others investigate attitudes towards them among the general public. This study aimed to compare perceived and public stigma, and factors related to these two variables. METHODS The study comprised a cross-sectional survey in China of two samples: males who used drugs (N = 257) and the general public (N = 376). The survey assessed demographic variables, social distance, public stigma and perceived stigma of those who use drugs. The data were analysed using t-tests and linear regression. RESULTS Public stigma was significantly higher than perceived stigma. The findings indicated that gender, knowledge of drugs, family relationships with people who use drugs, attributions of drug use and social distance were significantly related to levels of public stigma. Among those who use drugs, perceived stigma was significantly correlated with age, marital status, duration of drug abstinence and social distance. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Findings indicate that public stigma undermines the recovery of people who use drugs and highlight the importance of interaction between them and the social environment. The study also underscores the necessity of developing policies to enhance their integration into mainstream culture and provide access to social support and life activities.

Abstract
With the vigorous development of biotechnology, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have become more and more common. In order to effectively supervise and administrate them, the rapid and accurate detection of GMOs is urgently demanded. Here, GMO gene-specific sensing methods based on colorimetry and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) were proposed based on the lateral branch cleavage function of the CRISPR/Cas12a system. Two transgenes, pCaMV35S and M810 Cry1Ab, were chosen as targets for transgenic crops. By using these methods, we performed transgenic detection on five types of maize leaves and successfully distinguished transgenic from non-transgenic samples. The colorimetric method is rapid, economical and available for field detection. The SERS approach, giving a higher sensitivity to 100 fM, is more suitable for laboratory application scenarios. This study explores practical transgenic detection approaches and will be valuable for the supervision of GMOs.

BACKGROUND Birth weight is a good predictor of fetal intrauterine growth and long-term health. Although several studies have evaluated the relationship between metabolites and birth weight, no prior study has comprehensively investigated the metabolomic and lipidomic and further validated and quantified meaningful metabolites. METHODS Firstly, a pseudotargeted metabolomics approach was applied to detect 2418 metabolites in 504 cord blood samples in the discovery set enrolled from the Wuhan Healthy Baby Cohort (HBC), China. Metabolome-wide association scan (MWAS) analysis and pathway enrichment were applied to discover metabolites and metabolic pathways that were significantly associated with birth weight for gestational age (BWGA) z-score. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association of metabolites in the most significantly associated pathways with small for gestational age (SGA) and low birth weight (LBW). Subsequently, 350 cord blood samples in a validation cohort were subjected to targeted analysis to validate the metabolites screened from the discovery cohort. RESULTS In the discovery set, 513 metabolites were significantly associated with BWGA z-score (PFDR <0.05), of which 298 KEGG-annotated metabolites were included in the pathway analysis. The primary bile acid biosynthesis pathway was the most relevant metabolic pathway associated with BWGA z-score in our study. Elevated cord plasma primary bile acids were associated with lower BWGA z-score and higher odds of SGA or LBW in the discovery and validation cohorts. In the validation set, a 2-fold increase in taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA) and taurocholic acid (TCA) was associated with 0.10 (95% CI: 0.00, 0.20) and 0.18 (95 %CI: 0.04, 0.31) decrease in BWGA z-score, respectively, after adjusting for covariates. In addition, a 2-fold increase in cord plasma TCDCA and TCA was associated with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.52 (1.00, 2.30) and 1.77 (1.05, 2.98) for SGA, respectively. The adjusted ORs for a 2-fold increase in TCDCA and TCA concentrations were 2.39 (95% CI 1.00, 5.71) and 3.21 (0.96, 10.74) for LBW, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate a significant association between primary bile acids and lower BWGA z-score, as well as higher risk of SGA and LBW. Abnormalities of primary bile acid metabolism may play an important role in restricted fetal development. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylase (4HPA3H) is a long-known class of two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenases from bacteria, including an oxygenase component (EC 1.14.14.9) and a reductase component (EC 1.5.1.36), with the latter being accountable for delivering the cofactor (reduced flavin) essential for o-hydroxylation. 4HPA3H has a broad substrate spectrum involved in key biological processes, including cellular catabolism, detoxification, and the biosynthesis of bioactive molecules. Additionally, it specifically hydroxylates the o-position of the C4 position of the benzene ring in phenolic compounds, generating high-value polyhydroxyphenols. As a non-P450 o-hydroxylase, 4HPA3H offers a viable alternative for the de novo synthesis of valuable natural products. The enzyme holds the potential to replace plant-derived P450s in the o-hydroxylation of plant polyphenols, addressing the current significant challenge in engineering specific microbial strains with P450s. This review summarizes the source distribution, structural properties, and mechanism of 4HPA3Hs and their application in the biosynthesis of natural products in recent years. The potential industrial applications and prospects of 4HPA3H biocatalysts are also presented.

Abstract
A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) strategy combined with a CRISPR/Cas12a system is designed for the amplification-free gene detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV). A SERS sensing probe was fabricated by conjugating plasmonic SERS tags on the magnetic bead (MB) surface with an single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) as a linker. The target ASFV gene-activated Cas12a protein starts the trans-cleavage function on the linker ssDNA, which causes the release of SERS tags, leading to a decrease of the SERS signal detected above the collective MBs. Two signal enhancement strategies were adopted to improve the liquid-phase detection sensitivity arriving at the fM level. One is the unlimited trans-cleavage function of the Cas12a protein, and the other is the magnetic-induced collection of probes that can significantly gather the analytes from the solution to the laser spot and provide SERS hotspots during SERS measurement. Detection range is from 100 nM to 10 fM without the gene amplification steps. This sensing method achieved the SERS detection of ASFV gene in the serum system and the extracted nucleic acids in viral samples with high sensitivity and selectivity at a relative standard deviation of <8%. This sensing platform is mainly in use for site inspection and quick testing of gene samples.

Abstract
Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) is a significant fragmentation mechanism observed in weakly bound systems. It has been widely accepted that ICD-induced molecular fragmentation occurs through a two-step process, involving ICD as the first step and dissociative-electron attachment (DEA) as the second step. In this study, we conducted a fragmentation experiment of ArCH_{4} by electron impact, utilizing the coincident detection of one electron and two ions. In addition to the well-known decay pathway that induces pure ionization of CH_{4}, we observed a new channel where ICD triggers the ionization dissociation of CH_{4}, resulting in the cleavage of the C-H bond and the formation of the CH_{3}^{+} and H ion pair. The high efficiency of this channel, as indicated by the relative yield of the Ar^{+}/CH_{3}^{+} ion pair, agrees with the theoretical prediction [L. S. Cederbaum, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 11, 8964 (2020).JPCLCD1948-718510.1021/acs.jpclett.0c02259; Y. C. Chiang et al., Phys. Rev. A 100, 052701 (2019).PLRAAN2469-992610.1103/PhysRevA.100.052701]. These results suggest that ICD can directly break covalent bonds with high efficiency, bypassing the need for DEA. This finding introduces a novel approach to enhance the fragmentation efficiency of molecules containing covalent bonds, such as DNA backbone.

Abstract
The compound 3-hydroxyphloretin is a typical dihydrochalcone that can be obtained in plants by the 3-hydroxylation of phloretin. Here, the flavin-dependent two-component monooxygenase (HpaBC) derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was used to convert phloretin into 3-hydroxyphloretin. Following molecular docking and sequence alignment, modifications to the substrate pocket and loop of PaHpaBC were rationally designed, and mutant residues were selected. The results showed that the mutant Q212G/F292A/Q376N gave the best yield of 3-hydroxyphloretin and showed improved catalytic efficiency. Under optimal reaction condition, 2.03 g/L of 3-hydroxyphloretin was produced in the whole-cell catalysis experiment. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were used to analyze mutants and elucidate the potential mechanism. It was found that the increase in 3-hydroxyphloretin yield was due to the improvement in the flexibility of the loop and the expansion of its substrate pocket. This strategy based on loop and substrate pocket modification has significance in the engineering of PaHpaB.

Abstract
We constructed a waveguide-coupled surface plasmon resonance (WCSPR) structure to enhance Raman scattering. In this structure, P-polarized and S-polarized incident lasers can simultaneously coexcite the evanescent field, thereby further enhancing Raman scattering. This configuration is a five-phase Kretschmann resonance setup that consists of a SF10 prism/inner Ag film/SiO2 film/outer Ag film/water structure. The WCSPR configuration effectively concentrates and confines the evanescent field excited by the incident light. Ag nanoparticles assembled on the outer Ag film surface enhance the evanescent field further by means of surface plasmon resonance. By finely tuning the thickness of the Ag and SiO2 films, it is possible to achieve a coincidence between the SPR angle of P-polarized light and that of S-polarized light. At this angle, both P- and S-polarized light can jointly elevate the evanescent field intensity, leading to the simultaneous enhancement of the electric fields at the upper, lower, left, and right parts of the silver nanoparticles and generating maximum evanescent field enhancement. We achieved an electric field enhancement of up to 103 around the nanoparticles, leading to more SERS hotspots and comparable SERS enhancement capability to gap-type hotspots. Our WCSPR structure combined with the nanoparticles offers a feasible strategy for the SERS detection of large molecules that cannot be placed in traditional gap-type hotspots. It is highly convenient for SERS detection of large molecules.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) A Biology-guided Radiotherapy (BgRT) based device is designed to use Positron Emission Tomography (PET) signals to achieve tracked dose delivery. The goal of this study is to investigate the dose delivery accuracy in case of interruption during BgRT treatment, and resumption in a separate treatment session for a multi-target delivery, as the PET activity continues to decay. MATERIALS/METHODS A custom-built large anthropomorphic phantom (LAP) including a 26 mm spherical target with 3D independent motion and two 22 mm spherical targets with 1D sinusoidal motion embedded in water was used. All three targets were filled with FGD in an 8:1 target to background uptake ratio (41.52 kBq/ml in target and 5.19 kBq/ml in background). During BgRT delivery, the treatment was intentionally paused during delivery to the second target and the current treatment session was ended to generate a partial fraction. Then the partial fraction was continued in a new session, where the CT scan localization and PET pre-scan were repeated using the existing PET activity present in the phantom. The newly acquired PET pre-scan, was then used to determine if sufficient PET counts were present to resume treatment delivery. The interruption and recovery algorithm is designed to calculate the fluence that needs to be delivered to the remaining targets as well as the residual fluence to be given to the targets that have already received partial dose prior to the interruption. Once the new fluence is recomputed, the treatment is resumed. The delivered doses were captured using radiochromic film (EBT-XD) inserted in the target as well as post-treatment dose calculations based on the delivered beamlet sequence to evaluate the results in terms of dosimetric coverage and margin loss. The margin loss is calculated as the maximum difference between the distance from the Clinical Target Volume (CTV) contour to the 97% isodose contour in the treatment plan and the on the film. The dosimetric coverage is defined as the percentage of voxels within the CTV that lies within 97% and 130% of the prescribed dose. RESULTS As shown in the table below, a margin loss of less than 3 mm for all targets and 100% CTV coverage was achieved. After treatment interruptions, the PET safety evaluation based on the PET pre-scan helped to determine whether the treatment could be continued on the same day using the same injected PET activity (an NTS value ≧ 2 and AC value ≧ 5 kBq/ml). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the BgRT system is able to deliver the prescribed dose to all targets with independent motion, even when an interruption and resumption occurs during treatment. In case such an interruption if the remaining PET activity satisfies the BgRT safety evaluation, the treatment can continue to deliver the remainder of the BgRT doses.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate the reproducibility and variability of biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) treatments using a large anthropomorphic phantom modeling the motion amplitude of a lung tumor. MATERIALS/METHODS RefleXion X1 is equipped with two opposing 90 degrees PET detector arcs to capture the radionuclide emissions and direct the 6MV Linac to treat the lesions in real time. A custom-built phantom filled with a liquid [¹⁸F]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) solution was used. Fillable target and OAR structures were 3D printed and attached to motion stages. The GTV = CTV was matched to the spherical 22 mm diameter target, and the PTV was a 5 mm expansion from the CTV volume. The Biology Tracking Zone (BTZ) was generated after adding 5 mm margin to the motion extent of the CTV. The OAR was a large C-shape annulus (emulating a heart) that was approximately 3 cm from the target. The 3D independent motion trajectory of the target was designed to mimic lung motion: range of +5.8 mm to -4.9 mm in LR, range of +14.4 mm to -11.3 mm in SI, and range of +5.2 mm to -5.1 mm in AP directions. The OAR motion waveform used a 1D sinusoidal pattern with a 5 mm amplitude in SI direction. The target and the OAR were filled with 40 kBq/mL while the background had 5 kBq/mL FDG. A BgRT Modeling (imaging-only) PET acquisition was performed using RefleXion X1 and used to generate a 4-fraction BgRT treatment plan prescribing 10 Gy/fraction to PTV. For each delivery, target, OAR and background were filled with the same FDG concentrations as in the BgRT Modeling PET planning scan. Dosimetry to the target and OAR were both measured using an ion-chamber (Exradin A14SL) and film in the coronal plane through the center of the GTV for all 4 fractions. RESULTS The mean activity concentration within the (BTZ) was 7.4 ± 0.8 kBq/mL. The calculated signal-to-noise ratio metric (Normalized Target Signal) within the BTZ was 4.0 ± 0.3. Total treatment times were all less than 35 minutes (34.3 ± 0.2). Prescription dose coverage to the CTV for all 4 fractions was 100%. Ion chamber measurements in the CTV were -1.6 ± 1.3% relative to the planned dose over the active area of the ion-chamber. Minimum and maximum doses to the CTV, measured on film, were -7.7 ± 2.2% and 1.3 ± 1.4%, calculated relative to the planned dose distribution, respectively. The OAR maximum point dose measured on film was -8.7 ± 2.9%, calculated relative to the maximum OAR dose predicted on the bounded dose-volume histogram. CONCLUSION Based on this initial study, accurate and reproducible dosimetry can be achieved for targets under respiratory motion using biology-guided radiotherapy over the course of a complete course of treatment. Further studies are needed to evaluate the intrafraction dosimetry of BgRT delivery under various motion models and tumor sizes.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We present the first dosimetric measurements of single session, multi-target BgRT deliveries using a clinically realistic motion phantom on a research-only version of the RefleXion X1 system. MATERIALS/METHODS A custom-made anthropomorphic phantom of a human torso with embedded fillable targets mimicking 18F-FDG-avid lesions was used. From the three embedded spherical targets, Target 1 was 26 mm in diameter coupled with a 3D independent respiratory motion with 22 mm range, whereas Target 2 and 3 were 22 mm in diameter and moved with a 1D 5 mm maximum sinusoidal motion. The 18F-FDG concentration in the background cavity of the phantom was 5 kBq/ml, and the targets were loaded with 10:1, 8:1 and 6:1 contrast relative to the background for Targets 1, 2, 3, respectively. Spherical structures were contoured as GTVs (CTV = GTV) and a 5 mm margin was added to create PTVs. Motion extent of the tumors were captured to create biological tracking zones for each target. Treatment plans were generated using a research version of the Reflexion treatment planning software to deliver 8 Gy/fx to the PTVs. The treatment delivery was repeated 2 times, and each time the phantom was refilled according to the plan. PET image evaluation metrics for each of the three targets were also recorded. Target dosimetry was measured using a combination of radiographic film and ion chamber. The maximum distance between the 97% prescription isodose line from the plan and the film measurements was used to characterize the dosimetric accuracy of the tracked deliveries. CTV and PTV min, max, and mean doses measured on film were also recorded for each target. RESULTS Treatment plans were successfully created with 100% prescription dose coverage to each target loaded with different FDG ratios. Total treatment times for the single-plan, three-target deliveries were less than 80 minutes. PET evaluation metrics at imaging-only and pre-scan, and planning and film dosimetry to the GTV and PTV for each of the three targets is shown in table below (mean ± standard deviation of both deliveries). The CTV dose coverage was maintained for all targets. The shrinkage distance of the 97% prescription dose isodose line on the film plane for all three targets was less than 3 mm for both tests, and ranged from -0.4 to -2.34 mm. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that high tracking accuracy and dosimetric accuracy can be achieved in single session, multi-target deliveries over a range of target-to-background 18F-FDG concentrations and target motion patterns.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In this work we try to validate the motion tracking capabilities of BgRT for periodic and step motion trajectories. SBRT plans that matches the corresponding BgRT plans are created and delivered to the same phantom with and without motion and results are evaluated. Using BgRT based SBRT plans eliminates any user bias and creates SBRT plans that would represent treatment delivery scenarios that could have happened if the PET guided BgRT was not present for that treatment. MATERIALS/METHODS To validate SBRT plans that matches the BgRT plans, we used three different types of motion patterns (1) static, (2) lung tumor motion and (3) one-centimeter step-shift. The lung tumor motion (∼25 mm in IEC-Y, ∼7 mm in IEC-X and ∼ 10 mm in IEC-Z) was used as it represents a continuous motion of the target for the entire length of the study while the step-shift case corresponds to the patient or tumor shifting between the localization CT and the start of treatment. First, a 10 Gy per fraction BgRT plan was created for each of the three experiments based on the corresponding PET image. Then, the BgRT plans were delivered to the corresponding targets with and without motion and results are evaluated. To perform a comparative study that assess the performance of BgRT and traditional SBRT (planning and delivery methods), the exact same plan fluence of BgRT plan for each experiment was used to create the corresponding SBRT plans. The newly created SBRT plans were delivered to the corresponding phantom experiments and were compared against BgRT delivery in terms of dose coverage and target margin loss using radiochromic film that moves with the target. The margin loss was calculated as the difference between the distance from the CTV contour to the 97% isodose contour in the treatment plan and the CTV contour to the 97% isodose contour on the film. Dosimetric coverage was on the other hand calculated as the percentage of the voxels within the CTV that lies within 97% and 130% of the prescribed dose. RESULTS The results showed that the margin loss for BgRT is less than 3 mm, while for the SBRT plans were more than 3 mm when target motion is present. The dosimetric coverage for BgRT was 100% for all three cases, however less than 100% for the SBRT cases with motion. Table showing margin loss for the various experiments for a prescription dose of 10 Gy. CONCLUSION The results shows that BgRT is capable of tracking the tumor motion and delivering the prescribed dose to the moving target.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Current deep learning-based dose prediction methods can only predict a specific dose distribution. If the predicted dose is inaccurate, no more options can be selected. We proposed a novel dose prediction method named dose band prediction, which outcomes a spectrum of predicted dose distribution for planning and quality assurance (QA). MATERIALS/METHODS Upper-Band and Lower-Band losses were involved in 3D convolution neural networks to establish the Upper-Band Network (UBN) and Lower-Band Network (LBN). Each voxel's ideal dose spectrum (dose band) was defined by the maximum/minimum rational dose predicted by UBN/LBN. 130 NPC cases with Tomotherapy (dataset 1), 49 cervix cases with IMRT (dataset 2) and 43 cervix cases with VMAT (dataset 3) were enrolled to establish and evaluate our dose band prediction method. RESULTS The dose band prediction method can successfully predict a spectrum of doses. Upper-Band/Lower-Band presents maximum/minimum rational dose; Middle-Line presents the average of Upper-Band and Lower-Band. The clinical implement dose was used as the reference dose. We evaluated the maximum interval between the reference and Upper-Band/Middle-Line/Lower-Band doses, and the percentage dose difference was used as the evaluation method. The differences in PTV for Upper-Band, Middle-Line and Lower-Band in dataset 1 were within 2.47%, 0.54%, and 2.8%; in dataset 2, they were within 0.37%, 1.15%, and 2.69%; in dataset 3, they were within 0.96%, 0.35%, and 1.66%. The mean difference of OARs for the Upper-Band, Middle-Line and Lower-Band in dataset 1 were within 8.13%, 4.97%, and 8.19%; in dataset 2, they were within 8.8%, 4.48%, and 5.52%; in dataset 3, they were within 4.01%, 3.13%, and 5.79% (shown in Table 1). CONCLUSION Dose Band prediction achieved high-accuracy dose prediction by the Middle-Line. More importantly, the Upper-Band/Lower-Band provided a spectrum of possible rational doses. Our Dose Band prediction method is based on a specific loss function, so it can easily be applied in various network and patient cases. Dose Band prediction towards a more robust plan QA and planning assistance. Table 1. The maximum interval of doses (percentage dose difference, %).

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To characterize the tracking capability and dosimetric accuracy of biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) under clinically relevant PET tracer uptake scenarios relative to the background. MATERIALS/METHODS A custom-made anthropomorphic phantom filled with a liquid 18F-FDG solution including two embedded fillable 22 mm diameter spherical structures mimicking GTV (= CTV) and OAR was coupled to motion stages to create an independent 3D respiratory motion with 22 mm maximum range for target and a 5 mm 1D sinusoidal motion in the OAR. The biology-tracking zone (BTZ) was generated by adding 5 mm margin to the motion extent. The three BgRT scenarios studied were representative of tumors with good (8:1), borderline (4:1) and undesired (2:1) PET biodistributions compared to background. The clinical safety limit of BgRT uses Activity Concentration within the BTZ (AC ≥ 5 kBq/ml) and Normalized Target Signal as a contrast metric (NTS ≧ 2.7 for planning and ≧ 2 for delivery). The BgRT deliveries were repeated 3 times with radiochromic film and integrated ion chamber capturing the target and OAR doses. Tracked dosimetry was assessed using a margin-loss calculation defined as the maximum linear difference in distance between the planned and delivered 97% prescription iso-dose lines. RESULTS The imaging-only PET images used to create BgRT plans had an AC of 7.0, 5.3, and 1.6 kBq/ml with an NTS of 6.8, 5.3, and 1.8 for 8:1, 4:1, and 2:1 concentrations, respectively. Qualitatively, the target was not visible on the planning PET images 2:1 loading scenario. At delivery, the mean pre-scan activity concentrations were 6.8, 4.7, and 3.7 kBq/ml with corresponding mean NTS of 3.7, 2.6, 1.5 for 8:1, 4:1 and 2:1 deliveries. The pre-scan values of AC or NTS did not satisfy the clinical system safety limits for 4:1 and 2:1 ratio experiments, but the engineering software allowed for the delivery to capture the resulting doses. The deliveries showed a prescription dose coverage to the CTV of 100% for the 8:1 and 4:1 cases, but 88% for the 2:1 case. When compared to the planned dose values, the delivered minimum doses were -7.6%, -8.6% and -10.9%, whereas the maximum dose differences in CTV were 1.2%, 0% and -4.8% of the planned dose distributions of the 8:1, 4:1 and 2:1 cases, respectively. Calculated margin losses were -2.3, -3.8, and -5.5 mm, for the 8:1, 4:1, and 2:1 cases, respectively. The maximum OAR doses were less than the maximum doses predicted on the bounded DVH curves for all scenarios. CONCLUSION With sufficient tracer uptake in the target, BgRT can deliver tracked dosimetry for targets with a large respiratory motion profile. Both the good BgRT candidate and borderline cases produced clinically acceptable delivered doses, even though the borderline case was flagged by the clinical system safety checks. As expected, the delivered BgRT dose distributions were suboptimal with reduced tumor over background PET contrast.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Suicidal ideation and behaviour are potential outcomes of workplace bullying. This review aimed to determine the extent of the association between workplace bullying and suicidal ideation and behaviour. STUDY DESIGN The study incorporated a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement was followed to conduct a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis. A combination of subject terms and free words was used to search nine electronic databases. Two reviewers independently screened articles and extracted information according to the inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis was performed with averaged weighted correlations across samples using the STATA software (version 16.0) from pooled estimates of the main results from all studies. RESULTS In total, 25 articles of high or medium quality were included in the systematic review; 15 of these were included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviour was 18% and 4%, respectively. Individuals who experienced workplace bullying had 2.03-times and 2.67-times higher odds of reporting suicidal ideation and behaviour, respectively, after adjustment for confounding factors. Moderating and mediating factors may help reduce the risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour for individuals experiencing workplace bullying. CONCLUSION This study indicated that exposure to workplace bullying significantly increased the risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour.

Abstract
The safety and immunogenicity of a protein-based tetravalent vaccine SCTV01E that contains spike protein ectodomain (S-ECD) of Alpha, Beta, Delta and Omicron BA.1 are assessed and compared with bivalent protein vaccine SCTV01C (Alpha and Beta variants) and monovalent mRNA vaccine (NCT05323461). The primary endpoints are the geometric mean titers (GMT) of live virus neutralizing antibodies (nAb) to Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron BA.1 at day 28 post-injection. The secondary endpoints include the safety, day 180 GMTs against Delta and Omicron BA.1, day 28 GMTs to BA.5, and seroresponse rates of neutralizing antibodies and T cell responses at day 28 post-injection. 450 participants, comprising of 449 males and 1 female, with a median age (range) of 27 (18-62) years, are assigned to receive one booster dose of BNT162b2, 20 µg SCTV01C or 30 µg SCTV01E and completed 4-week follow-up. All SCTV01E related adverse events (AEs) are mild or moderate and no Grade ≥3 AE, serious AE or new safety concerns are identified. Day 28 GMT of live virus neutralizing antibodies and seroresponse against Omicron BA.1 and BA.5 with SCTV01E are significantly higher than those with SCTV01C and BNT162b2. These data indicate an overall neutralization superiority with tetravalent booster immunization in men.

Abstract
A microdroplet-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (microdroplet SERS) platform was constructed to envelop individual cells in microdroplets, followed by the SERS detection of their extracellular vesicle-proteins (EV-proteins) via the in-drop immunoassays by use of immunomagnetic beads (iMBs) and immuno-SERS tags (iSERS tags). A unique phenomenon is found that iMBs can start a spontaneous reorientation on the probed cell surface based on the electrostatic force-driven interfacial aggregation effect, which leads EV-proteins and iSERS tags to be gathered from a liquid phase to a cell membrane interface and significantly improves SERS sensitivity to the single-cell analysis level due to the formation of numbers of SERS hotspots. Three EV-proteins from two breast cancer cell lines were collected and further analyzed by machine learning algorithmic tools, which will be helpful for a deeper understanding of breast cancer subtypes from the view of EV-proteins.

Abstract
The worldwide abuse of illicit drugs led to severe consequences for human health, and society environment. Therefore, urgently required are effective and efficient on-site detection methods for illicit drugs of interest in various matrices, e.g., police samples, biofluids, and hairs. Although surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) shows power in many analytical fields, the cumbersome pretreatment of various matrices restricts its use in the easy-to-operate and on-site detection of illicit drugs. To address this problem, we adopted pore-size selectivity SERS-active hydrogel microbeads, whose meshes are adjustable to allow small molecules to access and to exclude large molecules. Meanwhile, Ag nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed and wrapped in the hydrogel matrix, providing excellent SERS performances with high sensitivity, reproducibility, and stability. By using these SERS hydrogel microbeads, one of the illicit drugs, methamphetamine (MAMP), can be rapidly and reliably detected in various biological specimens (blood, saliva, and hair) without sample pretreatment. The minimum detectable concentration is 0.1 ppm for MAMP in three biological specimens with a linear range of 0.1-100 ppm, which is lower than the maximum allowable level of 0.5 ppm set by the department of the health and human service. The SERS detection results were consistent with the gas chromatographic (GC) data. Thanks to its operational simplicity, fast response, high throughput and low cost, our established SERS hydrogel microbeads can be used as a sensing platform for facile analysis of illicit drugs through simultaneous separation, preconcentration, and optical detection, which shall be provided practically for front-line narcotics squad and resistance to the overwhelmed drug abuses.

Abstract
The prevalence of periodontitis is increasing with the aging of the global population. Periodontitis has been suggested to accelerate aging and increase mortality. The present nationwide prospective cohort study aimed to determine whether periodontitis could modify the association of biological aging with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in middle-aged and older adults. Participants ≥40 y of age from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) were included (n = 6,272). Phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) was used to evaluate the biological aging process. Moderate/severe periodontitis was defined using a half-reduced Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and American Academy of Periodontology case definition. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression was conducted to estimate the association between PhenoAgeAccel and mortality risk, followed by effect modification analysis to test whether periodontitis modified the association. During a median follow-up of 24.5 y, 3,600 (57.4%) deaths occurred. The positive relationships between PhenoAgeAccel and all-cause and cause-specific mortality were nonlinear. After adjusting for potential confounders, the highest quartile of PhenoAgeAccel was associated with increased all-cause mortality in individuals with no/mild periodontitis (hazard ratio for Q4 vs. Q1 [HRQ4vs.Q1] = 1.789; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.541-2.076). In contrast, the association was enhanced in patients with moderate/severe periodontitis (HRQ4vs.Q1 = 2.446 [2.100-2.850]). Periodontal status significantly modified the association between PhenoAgeAccel and all-cause mortality (P for interaction = 0.012). In subgroup analyses, the modifying effect of periodontitis was observed in middle-aged adults (40-59 y), females, and non-Hispanic Whites. Although cause-specific mortality showed a similar trend, the PhenoAgeAccel × periodontitis interaction did not reach statistical significance. In conclusion, periodontitis might enhance the association of biological aging with all-cause mortality in middle-aged and older adults. Hence, maintaining and enhancing periodontal health is expected to become an intervention to slow aging and extend life span.

Abstract
In this work, a novel plasmonic heterodimer with controllable hot spot was designed and applied to regulate surface plasmon coupling electrochemiluminescence (SPC-ECL) polarization sensing system. The heterodimer nanostructure consisted of individual Au-Ag core-shell nanocubes (Au@Ag NC) and Au nanospheres (Au NS), which were precisely assembled by thiol-DNA and biotin-streptavidin. The asymmetric nanostructure can significantly modulate the ECL intensity and emission polarization angle based on the synergy of the surface plasmon coupling (SPC) effect and the lightning rod effect with extraordinary field enhancement in the hot spot region. As a result, the isotropic ECL signal of zinc-doped nitrogen dots (Zn-N dots) was regulated in the directional emission. Furthermore, the SPC-ECL biosensor was successfully applied to detect miRNA-182 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tissues. The research on the established relationship between ECL polarization analysis and plasmonic heterodimers can provide a new pathway for the development of ECL sensing platforms.

Abstract
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has been shown to be associated with microbiota. However, the association between SCH and oral microbiota has not yet been elucidated. The results of our previous clinical studies showed that Prevotella intermedia was abundant in the oral microbiota of SCH patients. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between SCH and oral microbiota, verify the pathogenicity of P. intermedia in SCH, and preliminarily explore the possible mechanism. The SCH mouse model with oral application of P. intermedia was established, and the variance in the mouse oral microbiota and changes in thyroid function and metabolism were detected in mice. Student's t test and analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. Oral application of P. intermedia changed the composition of the oral microbiota of SCH mice, which enhanced the damage to the thyroid and decreased the expression of functional genes of the thyroid. Moreover, P. intermedia decreased oxygen consumption and aggravated glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in SCH mice. Glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance decreased, and the triglyceride content of the liver and inflammatory infiltration in adipose tissue increased in SCH mice after P. intermedia stimulation. Mechanistically, P. intermedia increased the proportion of CD4+ T cells in cervical lymph nodes and thyroids in SCH mice. Th1 cells were suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of SCH involving P. intermedia. In conclusion, P. intermedia aggravated SCH manifestations, including thyroid dysfunction and glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, by causing immune imbalance in mice. This study sheds new light on the pathogenesis of SCH from the perspective of oral microbiota.

Abstract
As a dynamic and multifunctional organelle, lipid droplets (LDs) are essential in maintaining lipid balance and transducing biological signals. LD accumulation and catabolism are closely associated with energy metabolism and cell signaling. In order to easily trace LDs in living cells, a novel carbonized polymer dot (CPD)-based fluorescent nanoprobe is reported to serve the needs of LD-targeting imaging. This probe exhibits the advantages of excellent biocompatibility, simple preparation, good lipophilicity, and high compatibility with commercial dyes. Transient absorption spectroscopy was employed to discuss the luminescence mechanism of CPDs, and the results indicate that the excellent fluorescence property and the environment-responsive feature of our CPDs are derived from the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristics and the D-π-A structure that possibly formed in CPD. This nanoprobe is available for one-photon fluorescence (OPF) and two-photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging and is also practicable for staining LDs in living/fixed cells and lipids in tissue sections. The staining process is completed within several seconds, with no washing step. The intracellular LDs involving the intranuclear LDs (nLDs) can be selectively lit up. This probe is feasible for visualizing dynamic interactions among LDs, which suggests its great potential in revealing the secret of LD metabolism. The in situ TPF spectra were analyzed to determine surrounding microenvironment according to the polarity-responsive feature of our CPDs. This work expands the applications of CPDs in biological imaging, helps design new LD-selective fluorescent probes, and has implications for studying LD-related metabolism and diseases.

Abstract
Organic luminescent materials that can simultaneously achieve multimode mechanochromism and its water-vapor-induced recovery are desirable for practical applications but rarely reported. Herein, an amphiphilic compound, 4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (CPAB), is designed by integrating a lipophilic aromatic unit and hydrophilic end in the molecular architecture. Self-recovered mechanochromism from brown to cyan is observed upon mechanical grinding in air. Comprehensive research by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal analysis reveals that the photoluminescence switch originates from the variation in intermolecular hydrogen bonds and molecular packing mode. The amphiphilic nature of CPAB allows water molecules to enter the crystalline lattice, forming two polymorphs of the crystalline phase, namely CPAB-D and CPAB-W. The hydrosoluble CPAB exhibits excellent capability in probing the level 3 details of fingerprints because its lipophilic part can target the fatty acid residues of fingerprints, leading to strong aggregation-induced fluorescence. The research may inspire the design of latent fingerprint developers and application in forensics/anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Exosomes of cancer cells play an important role in the proliferation, adhesion, and migration of tumors. Especially, exosomes in the tumor microenvironment can reflect the proliferation of tumors directly, thus serving as ideal referenced markers of the possibility and grade of malignancy in neoplasms. However, the sensitive and accurate detection of exosomes remains challenging. In this work, a novel three-dimensional (3D) plasmonic nanostructure was constructed for exosomal miRNA detection. It combined the advantages of Au nanostar monolayer and Ag nanowire monolayer to provide multiple hot spots. Moreover, Au nanostar monolayer changed the isotropic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) into polarized emission. The Ag nanowire monolayer worked as waveguides for the light direction. As a result, the polarized resolution and intensity of ECL signal were improved. The polarized ECL emission was significantly increased by 47.1 times. This high-resolution polarized ECL sensor was used for detecting exosomal miRNA-146b-5p in the thyroid tumor microenvironment. This sensor showed the linear range from 1 fM to 1 nM with a detection limit of 0.3 fM. The satisfactory results indicated the developed 3D plasmonic nanostructure-based ECL sensor had great potential in biosensing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Because of the half-filled t_{2g}-electron configuration, the BO_{6} octahedral distortion in a 3d^{3} perovskite system is usually very limited. In this Letter, a perovskitelike oxide Hg_{0.75}Pb_{0.25}MnO_{3} (HPMO) with a 3d^{3} Mn^{4+} state was synthesized by using high pressure and high temperature methods. This compound exhibits an unusually large octahedral distortion enhanced by approximately 2 orders of magnitude compared with that observed in other 3d^{3} perovskite systems like RCr^{3+}O_{3} (R=rare earth). Essentially different from centrosymmetric HgMnO_{3} and PbMnO_{3}, the A-site doped HPMO presents a polar crystal structure with the space group Ama2 and a substantial spontaneous electric polarization (26.5 μC/cm^{2} in theory) arising from the off-center displacements of A- and B-site ions. More interestingly, a prominent net photocurrent and switchable photovoltaic effect with a sustainable photoresponse were observed in the current polycrystalline HPMO. This Letter provides an exceptional d^{3} material system which shows unusually large octahedral distortion and displacement-type ferroelectricity violating the "d^{0}-ness" rule.

Abstract
The aberrant growth of cervical cells caused by the infection of human papillomavirus (HPV) may cause cervical cancer. In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer and for better follow-up treatment after surgery, a rapid and reliable detection method of HPV DNA is essential. Here, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection method was developed based on the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/dCas9 technique and the enzyme catalysis amplification reaction, which achieved a simple and rapid detection of low-content HPV genes. The CRISPR/dCas9/sgRNA complex was anchored above a magnetic bead, which can precisely capture target DNA sequences, exhibiting high selectivity for HPV genes. When the biotinylated target DNAs exist, they can bridge a streptavidin-modified horse radish peroxidase (HRP) to the magnetic bead, producing an HRP-decorated conjugate. This conjugate allows an HRP-catalyzed reaction for its substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB). Gold nanostars with a silica shell exhibiting the lightning rod effect of SERS were employed to measure the SERS spectra of the oxidative product of TMB. Enzyme catalysis and SERS co-contribute to the SERS signal output, ensuring a high detection sensitivity. This method is a proof of concept for detecting HPV DNAs in a complex system. The current method can be applied to other target DNAs simply by changing the sgRNA sequence. Many superiors portend that the CRISPR/dCas9-based SERS method is promising for further clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of infections among cancer patients is as high as 23.2-33.2% in China. However, the lack of information and data on the number of antibiotics used by cancer patients is an obstacle to implementing antibiotic management plans. AIM This study aimed to investigate bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance in Chinese cancer patients to provide a reference for the rational use of antibiotics. DESIGN This was a 5-year retrospective study on the antibiotic resistance of cancer patients. METHODS In this 5-year surveillance study, we collected bacterial and antibiotic resistance data from 20 provincial cancer diagnosis and treatment centers and three specialized cancer hospitals in China. We analyzed the resistance of common bacteria to antibiotics, compared to common clinical drug-resistant bacteria, evaluated the evolution of critical drug-resistant bacteria and conducted data analysis. FINDINGS Between 2016 and 2020, 216 219 bacterial strains were clinically isolated. The resistance trend of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, piperacillin/tazobactam and imipenem was relatively stable and did not significantly increase over time. The resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to all antibiotics tested, including imipenem and meropenem, decreased over time. In contrast, the resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii strains to carbapenems increased from 4.7% to 14.7%. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) significantly decreased from 65.2% in 2016 to 48.9% in 2020. CONCLUSIONS The bacterial prevalence and antibiotic resistance rates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, S. aureus and MRSA were significantly lower than the national average.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the awareness of malaria-related knowledge, the use of mosquito nets and their influencing factors among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. METHODS In August 2020, 19 settlement sites in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province were selected as study areas, and permanent residents at ages of 10 years and older were enrolled for a questionnaire survey, including residents' demographics, family economic status, malaria control knowledge and use of mosquito nets. In addition, the factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 320 questionnaires were allocated, and all were recovered (a 100% recovery rate). There were 316 valid questionnaires, with an effective recovery rate of 98.75%. The 316 respondents included 152 men and 164 women and 250 Chinese respondents and 66 foreign respondents. The awareness of clinical syndromes of malaria was significantly higher among Chinese residents (71.60%) than among foreign residents (50.00%) (χ2 = 11.03, P < 0.01), and the proportions of Chinese and foreign residents sleeping under mosquito nets were 46.00% and 69.70% on the night prior to the survey, respectively (χ2 = 11.73, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified ethnicity group and type of residence as factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey. CONCLUSIONS The awareness of malaria control knowledge, the coverage and the use of mosquito nets were low among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. Targeted health education is recommended to improve the awareness of malaria control knowledge and self-protection ability. In addition, improving the allocation of long-lasting mosquito nets and health education pertaining to their uses and increasing the proportion of using mosquito nets correctly is needed to prevent re-establishment of imported malaria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in percentage of GATA3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and mouse models. METHODS The nasal mucosa specimens were obtained from 6 AR patients and 6 control patients for detection of nasal mucosal inflammation. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from 12 AP patients and 12 control patients to determine the percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells. In a C57BL/6 mouse model of AR, the AR symptom score, peripheral blood OVA-sIgE level, and nasal mucosal inflammation were assessed, and the spleen of mice was collected for detecting the percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells and the expressions of Th2 cytokines. RESULTS Compared with the control patients, AR patients showed significantly increased eosinophil infiltration and goblet cell proliferation in the nasal mucosa (P < 0.01) and decreased percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells (P < 0.05). The mouse models of AR also had more obvious allergic symptoms, significantly increased OVA-sIgE level in peripheral blood, eosinophil infiltration and goblet cell hyperplasia (P < 0.01), markedly lowered percentages of Treg cells and GATA3+ Treg cells in the spleen (P < 0.01), and increased expressions of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The percentage of GATA3+ Treg cells is decreased in AR patients and mouse models. GATA3+ Treg cells possibly participate in Th2 cell immune response, both of which are involved in the occurrence and progression of AR, suggesting the potential of GATA3+ Treg cells as a new therapeutic target for AR.

Abstract
We visualized negative refraction of phonon polaritons, which occurs at the interface between two natural crystals. The polaritons-hybrids of infrared photons and lattice vibrations-form collimated rays that display negative refraction when passing through a planar interface between the two hyperbolic van der Waals materials: molybdenum oxide (MoO3) and isotopically pure hexagonal boron nitride (h11BN). At a special frequency ω0, these rays can circulate along closed diamond-shaped trajectories. We have shown that polariton eigenmodes display regions of both positive and negative dispersion interrupted by multiple gaps that result from polaritonic-level repulsion and strong coupling.

Abstract
AIM To test the feasibility of ultra-low-dose (ULD) computed tomography (CT) combined with an artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR) algorithm for screening pulmonary nodules using computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A chest phantom with artificial pulmonary nodules was first scanned using the routine protocol and the ULD protocol (3.28 versus 0.18 mSv) to compare the image quality and to test the acceptability of the ULD CT protocol. Next, 147 lung-screening patients were enrolled prospectively, undergoing an additional ULD CT immediately after their routine CT examination for clinical validation. Images were reconstructed with filtered back-projection (FBP), hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), the AIIR, and were imported to the CAD software for preliminary nodule detection. Subjective image quality on the phantom was scored using a five-point scale and compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test. Nodule detection using CAD was evaluated for ULD HIR and AIIR images using the routine dose image as reference. RESULTS Higher image quality was scored for AIIR than for FBP and HIR at ULD (p<0.001). As reported by CAD, 107 patients were presented with more than five nodules on routine dose images and were chosen to represent the challenging cases at an early stage of pulmonary disease. Among such, the performance of nodule detection by CAD on ULD HIR and AIIR images was 75.2% and 92.2% of the routine dose image, respectively. CONCLUSION Combined with AIIR, it was feasible to use an ULD CT protocol with 95% dose reduction for CAD-based screening of pulmonary nodules.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) self-assembled covalent organic frameworks (COFs) was fabricated via the electrostatic interaction between positively charged COFs and negatively charged AuNPs, which exhibited excellent SERS performance and were successfully applied for the analyses of malachite green (MG) residue in different seafood products as well as thiram residue in several kinds of fruit juice. The raspberry-like structure SERS substrate has a larger surface area that can provide more adsorption sites in testing and improve the efficiency of sample enrichment. By using this developed SERS substrate, the detection linearity ranges are 1.0 × 10-9 mol·L-1-1.0 × 10-6 mol·L-1 for MG and 5.0 × 10-8 mol·L-1-1.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1 for thiram (R2 ≥ 0.995). The detection limits are 6.2 × 10-10 mol·L-1 for MG and 1.7 × 10-8 mol·L-1 for thiram, respectively. The COF-AuNPs substrate was actually applied for analysis of MG in seafood products and thiram in different fruit juice, with the recoveries in the ranges of 94.67-108.99 % for MG and 95.00-107.58 % for thiram, and both of the relative standard deviation (RSD) are no more than 5.88 %. This work indicates that the developed COF-AuNPs substrate is promising for SERS analyses and detections of residues in foods.
