Abstract
OBJECTIVES Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal deposition in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients is under recognized but impacts renal outcomes. This study investigates its determinants and effects. METHODS We studied 814 AKI patients with native kidney biopsies from 2011 to 2020, identifying CaOx crystal deposition severity (mild: <5, moderate: 5-10, severe: >10 crystals per section). We assessed factors like urinary oxalate, citrate, urate, electrolytes, pH, tubular calcification index, and SLC26A6 expression, comparing them with creatinine-matched AKI controls without oxalosis. We analyzed how these factors relate to CaOx severity and their impact on renal recovery (eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 3-month follow-up). RESULTS CaOx crystal deposition was found in 3.9% of the AKI cohort (32 cases), with 72% due to nephrotoxic medication-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis. Diuretic use, higher urinary oxalate-to-citrate ratio induced by hypocitraturia, and tubular calcification index were significant contributors to moderate and/or severe CaOx deposition. Poor baseline renal function, low urinary chloride, high uric acid and urea nitrogen, tubular SLC26A6 overexpression, and glomerular sclerosis were also associated with moderate-to-severe CaOx deposition. Kidney recovery was delayed, with 43.8%, 31.2%, and 18.8% of patients having eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 4, 12, and 24-week post-injury. Poor outcomes were linked to high urinary α1-microglobulin-to-creatinine (α1-MG/C) ratios and active tubular injury scores. Univariate analysis showed a strong link between this ratio and poor renal outcomes, independent of oxalosis severity. CONCLUSIONS In AKI, CaOx deposition is common despite declining GFR. Factors worsening tubular injury, not just oxalate-to-citrate ratios, are key to understanding impaired renal recovery.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the tubular function in an alloxan-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) rabbit model measured by renal oxygenation (R2*), oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and renal blood flow (RBF) using blood oxygenation level dependent, asymmetric spin echo, and arterial spin labeling MRI. Methods Twenty-six rabbits were randomized into the 3-day DM group (n = 13) and the 7-day DM group (n = 13). We performed pairs of multiparametric MRIs (before and after furosemide injection) at baseline and 3/7 days post-DM, and scored pathological kidney injury. We performed statistical analyses using non-parametric, chi-square, and Spearman correlation tests. Results At baseline, medullary R2* significantly decreased by 24.97% and 16.74% in the outer and inner stripes of the outer medulla (OS and IS, p = 0.006 and 0.003, respectively) after furosemide administration. While the corresponding OEF decreased by 15.91% for OS and 16.67% for IS (both p = 0.003), and no significant change in medullary RBF was observed (p > 0.05). In the 3-day DM group, the decrease of medullary R2* and OEF post-furosemide became unremarkable, suggesting tubular dysfunction. We noticed similar changes in the 7-day DM group. Correlation analysis showed pathological tubular injury score significantly correlated with medullary ∆R2* (post-furosemide - pre-furosemide difference, r = 0.82 for OS and 0.82 for IS) and ∆OEF (r = 0.82 for OS and 0.82 for IS) (p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The combination of medullary OEF and R2* in response to furosemide could detect renal tubular dysfunction in early DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Noninvasive quantifying activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) by molecular imaging is helpful for assessing disease progression and therapeutic responses of liver fibrosis. Our purpose is to develop platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ)-targeted radioactive tracer for assessing liver fibrosis by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of aHSCs. METHODS Comparative transcriptomics, immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used to evaluate PDGFRβ as biomarker for human aHSCs and determine the correlation of PDGFRβ with the severity of liver fibrosis. The high affinity affibody for PDGFRβ (ZPDGFRβ) was labeled with gallium-68 (68Ga) for PET imaging of mice with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis. Binding of the [68Ga]Ga-labeled ZPDGFRβ ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-ZPDGFRβ) for aHSCs in human liver tissues was measured by autoradiography. RESULTS PDGFRβ overexpressed in aHSCs was highly correlated with the severity of liver fibrosis in patients and CCl4-treated mice. The 68Ga-labeled ZPDGFRβ affibody ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-ZPDGFRβ) showed PDGFRβ-dependent binding to aHSCs. According to the PET imaging, hepatic uptake of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-ZPDGFRβ increased with the accumulation of aHSCs and collagens in the fibrotic livers of mice. In contrast, hepatic uptake of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-ZPDGFRβ decreased with spontaneous recovery or treatment of liver fibrosis, indicating that the progression and therapeutic responses of liver fibrosis in mice could be visualized by PDGFRβ-targeted PET imaging. [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-ZPDGFRβ also bound human aHSCs and visualized fibrosis in patient-derived liver tissues. CONCLUSIONS PDGFRβ is a reliable biomarker for both human and mouse aHSCs. PDGFRβ-targeted PET imaging could be used for noninvasive monitoring of liver fibrosis in mice and has great potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated a high prevalence of concurrent autoimmune diseases in individuals with Graves' disease (GD). OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to establish a causal association between GD and autoimmune diseases. METHODS We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to infer a causal association between GD and five autoimmune diseases, namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in the East Asian and European population. Genetic correlations were explored through linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis (LDSC). Finally, colocalization analyses were performed to investigate possible genetic foundations. RESULTS Bidirectional MR analysis indicated that genetically predicted GD increased the risk of RA (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.34, 95 % Confidence Interval (CI): 1.21 to 1.47, P < 0.001) and SLE (OR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.08 to 1.35, P < 0.001) in the East Asian population. In contrast, we found that genetically predicted RA (OR: 1.14, 95%CI: 1.05 to 1.24, P = 0.002) and SLE (OR: 1.10, 95%CI: 1.03 to 1.17, P = 0.003) were associated with a higher risk of GD. The results have been partially validated in European cohorts. Colocalization analysis suggested the potential existence of shared causal variants between GD and other autoimmune diseases. In particular, gene ARID5B may play an important role in the incidence of autoimmune diseases. CONCLUSION This study has confirmed that GD was associated with RA and SLE and found a possible key gene ARID5B. It may be necessary to strengthen detection to prevent the occurrence of comorbidities in clinical practice.

Abstract
The electromagnetic form factors of the proton and neutron encode information on the spatial structure of their charge and magnetization distributions. While measurements of the proton are relatively straightforward, the lack of a free neutron target makes measurements of the neutron's electromagnetic structure more challenging and more sensitive to experimental or model-dependent uncertainties. Various experiments have attempted to extract the neutron form factors from scattering from the neutron in deuterium, with different techniques providing different, and sometimes large, systematic uncertainties. We present results from a novel measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor using quasielastic scattering from the mirror nuclei ^{3}H and ^{3}He, where the nuclear effects are larger than for deuterium but expected to largely cancel in the cross-section ratios. We extracted values of the neutron magnetic form factor for low-to-modest momentum transfer, 0.6

Abstract
1. Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a gamma-coronavirus, can infect chickens of all ages and leads to an acute contact respiratory infection. This study evaluated the anti-viral activity of palmatine, a natural non-flavonoid alkaloid, against IBV in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) cells.2. The half toxic concentration (CC50) of palmatine was 672.92 μM, the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of palmatine against IBV was 7.76 μM and the selection index (SI) was 86.74.3. Mode of action assay showed that palmatine was able to directly inactivate IBV and inhibited the adsorption, penetration and intracellular replication of IBV.4. Palmatine significantly upregulated TRAF6, TAB1 and IKK-β compared with the IBV-infected group, leading to the increased expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α in the downstream NF-κB signalling pathway.5. Palmatine significantly up-regulated the levels of MDA5, MAVS, IRF7, IFN-α and IFN-β in the IRF7 pathway, inducing type I interferon production. It up-regulated the expression of 2'5'-oligoadenylate synthase (OAS) in the JAK-STAT pathway.6. IBV infection induced cell apoptosis and palmatine-treatment delayed the process of apoptosis by regulation of the expression of apoptosis-related genes (BAX, BCL-2, CASPASE-3 and CASPASE-8).7. Palmatine could exert anti-IBV activity through regulation of NF-κB/IRF7/JAK-STAT signalling pathways and apoptosis, providing a theoretical basis for the utilisation of palmatine to treat IBV infection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical condition with a complex aetiology and different outcomes, where haemodynamic dysfunction, renal hypoperfusion and inflammation serve as key contributors to its development and progression. Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for initiating targeted treatments like fluid resuscitation, vasoactive agents or steroid therapy, which are essential for improving patient outcomes. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI assesses both capillary perfusion and tissue water diffusion, while arterial spin labelling (ASL) MRI measures renal blood flow without the need for contrast. Research on combined use of IVIM and ASL MRI in patients with AKI is rare. This study aims to investigate the MRI characteristics of IVIM and ASL in patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) and to explore their relationship with pathological findings and renal recovery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Single-centre, prospective, observational cohort study of 30 patients with biopsy-proven TIN. Participants will undergo renal IVIM and ASL MRI within 7 days post-biopsy. The pathological assessments of active and chronic tubulointerstitial injuries will be semiscored using modified Banff criteria. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during follow-up and prevalence of chronic kidney disease at 3 and 6 months will be reported. An eGFR below 45 mL/min is considered a poor renal outcome. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking University First Hospital and written informed consent will be obtained from all participants (2022Y503). The study results will be disseminated through publication in a relevant peer-reviewed journal and presentation at academic meetings to increase awareness and share findings with the scientific community.

Abstract
Extensive industrial activities and anthropogenic agricultural practices have led to substantial ammonia release to the environment. Although croplands can act as ammonia sinks, reduced crop production under high concentrations of ammonium has been documented. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a critical carbon source, displaying pleiotropic physiological functions. The objective of the present study is to disclose the potential of AKG to enhance ammonium assimilation in poplars. It showed that AKG application substantially boosted the height, biomass, and photosynthesis activity of poplars exposed to excessive ammonium. AKG also enhanced the activities of key enzymes involved in nitrogen assimilation: glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT), elevating the content of amino acids, sucrose, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) metabolites. Furthermore, AKG positively modulated key genes tied to glucose metabolism and ATP synthesis, while suppressing ATP-depleting genes. Correspondingly, both H+-ATPase activity and ATP content increased. These findings demonstrate that exogenously applying AKG improves poplar growth under a high level of ammonium treatment. AKG might function through sufficient carbon investment, which enhances the carbon-nitrogen balance and energy stability in poplars, promoting ammonium assimilation at high doses of ammonium. Our study provides novel insight into AKG's role in improving poplar growth in response to excess ammonia exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the postoperative kinesophobia of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its related factors. BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention is an effective method to treat coronary heart disease (CHD), and cardiac rehabilitation is an important auxiliary method after PCI. However, the compliance of patients with cardiac rehabilitation after PCI is not good, among which kinesophobia is an important influencing factor. DESIGN A descriptive cross-sectional design was implemented, and the high-quality reporting of the study adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Statement. METHODS In total, 351 inpatients who underwent PCI in three tertiary grade-A hospitals in China were selected by convenient sampling method. We use one-way ANOVA and multiple linear regression analysis to determine the relevant related factors. RESULTS The kinesophobia of patients after PCI was negatively correlated with chronic illness resource utilization and sense of personal mastery, and positively correlated with illness perception. Education level, clinical classification of CHD, exercise habits, chronic illness resource utilization, illness perception and sense of personal mastery entered the regression equation, which could explain 78.1% of the total variation. CONCLUSION The level of kinesiophobia of patients after PCI is high. Education level, clinical classification of CHD, exercise habits, chronic illness resource utilization, illness perception and sense of personal mastery are the related factors of kinesiophobia of patients after PCI. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE By reducing the level of exercise fear of patients after PCI, patients are more likely to accept and adhere to the cardiac rehabilitation plan, thus improving their prognosis and improving their quality of life. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION The patient underwent PCI in the research hospital. Researchers screen them according to the inclusion criteria and invite them to participate in this study. If they meet the requirements, participants will answer the research questionnaire face to face after signing the informed consent form.

Abstract
Advances in carbohydrate metabolism prompted its essential role in defense priming and sweet immunity during plant-pathogen interactions. Nevertheless, upstream responding enzymes in the sucrose metabolic pathway and associated carbohydrate derivatives underlying fungal pathogen challenges remain to be deciphered in Populus, a model tree species. In silico deduction of genomic features, including phylogenies, exon/intron distributions, cis-regulatory elements, and chromosomal localization, identified 59 enzyme genes (11 families) in the Populus genome. Spatiotemporal expression of the transcriptome and the quantitative real-time PCR revealed a minuscule number of isogenes that were predominantly expressed in roots. Upon the pathogenic Fusarium solani (Fs) exposure, dynamic changes in the transcriptomics atlas and experimental evaluation verified Susy (PtSusy2 and 3), CWI (PtCWI3), VI (PtVI2), HK (PtHK6), FK (PtFK6), and UGPase (PtUGP2) families, displaying promotions in their expressions at 48 and 72 h of post-inoculation (hpi). Using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based non-targeted metabolomics combined with a high-performance ion chromatography system (HPICS), approximately 307 metabolites (13 categories) were annotated that led to the quantification of 46 carbohydrates, showing marked changes between three compared groups. By contrast, some sugars (e.g., sorbitol, L-arabitol, trehalose, and galacturonic acid) exhibited a higher accumulation at 72 hpi than 0 hpi, while levels of α-lactose and glucose decreased, facilitating them as potential signaling molecules. The systematic overview of multi-omics approaches to dissect the effects of Fs infection provides theoretical cues for understanding defense immunity depending on fine-tuned Suc metabolic gene clusters and synergistically linked carbohydrate pools in trees.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze pathogenic characteristics of viral diarrhea in children aged <5 years in Hebei Province and provide reference for the prevention and control of viral diarrhea in children. Methods: Stool samples were collected from in-patients with diarrhea under five years old from sentinel hospitals in Lulong County of Hebei between 2010 and 2020. ELISA detected rotavirus antigen, and then positive samples were genotyped by semi nested reverse transcription PCR of two rounds. Calicivirus, genotyping astrovirus, and adenovirus were detected by real-time fluorescence quantification PCR. The data were analyzed by using software SPSS 20.0. Results: In 2 925 detected stool samples, 1 919 (65.61%) were positive. The positive rates of rotavirus, calicivirus, adenovirus, and astrovirus were 42.80% (1 252/2 925), 22.12% (647/2 925), 6.19% (181/2 925), 3.56% (104/2 925). Viral diarrhea was mainly caused by rotavirus infection, accounting for 59.30% (1 017/1 715) between 2010 and 2017, and by calicivirus infection accounting for 53.43% (109/204) between 2018 and 2020. The peak positive rate of rotavirus occurred in winter, with the highest rate in infants aged 12 to 17 months (52.96%,483/912). In the rotavirus positive samples, G9P[8] was mainly detected strains (58.31%,730/1 252), followed by G3P[8] (8.15%,102/1 252). The calicivirus-positive samples were mainly infected with norovirus GⅡ. Sequence analysis indicated that the main type was GⅡ.4 [P31] between 2011 and 2016 and GⅡ.3 [P12] in 2018. Conclusions: Rotavirus and calicivirus were the main pathogens causing infant diarrhea in children under five years old in Hebei from 2010 to 2020. Winter was the main epidemic season.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To elucidate the association between the anticancer activities of piperlongumine (PL) and its potential target, transient receptor potential melastatin 7 channel (TRPM7), in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). METHODS The expression levels and electrical characteristics of TRPM7 as well as cell viability in response to various PL treatments were investigated in the OSCC cell line Cal27. RESULTS PL treatment resulted in a concentration- and time-dependent reduction in TRPM7 mRNA and protein expression in Cal27 cells. Furthermore, PL treatment inhibited TRPM7-like rectifying currents in Cal27 cells; however, this inhibition was less effective than that of the TRPM7 antagonist waixenicin A. Rapid perfusion and washout experiments revealed an immediate inhibitory effect of PL on TRPM7-like currents. The antagonistic effect of PL occurred within 1 min and was not completely reversed following washout. Notably, the extracellular Ca2+ concentration still influenced PL-induced changes in the TRPM7-like current, indicating that PL can directly but gently antagonize the TRPM7 channel. Functional changes in TRPM7 correlated with the observed antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects of PL in Cal27 cells. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that PL exhibits potent inhibitory effects on TRPM7 and exerts its anti-cancer effects by downregulating TRPM7 expression and antagonizing channel currents.

Abstract
Six undescribed meroterpenoids aspertermeroterpenes A-F and four known analogues were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus GZU-31-1. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic methods and electronic circular dichroism calculations. All meroterpenoids possessed the unique acetyl group at C-11, and also aspertermeroterpene A featured the rare C-14 decarboxylated in DMOA meroterpenoids. In the bioassays, aspermeroterpene B exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on the activation of hepatic stellate cells at the concentration of 5 μM via targeting the Nrf2 signaling. This is the first time reported that aspermeroterpene B as a previously undescribed carbon skeleton of meroterpenoid possessed anti-liver fibrosis effect.

Abstract
The cargo content in small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) changes under pathological conditions. Our data shows that in obesity, extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) protein levels are significantly increased in circulating sEVs, which is dependent on integrin-β2. Knockdown of integrin-β2 does not affect cellular ECM1 protein levels but significantly reduces ECM1 protein levels in the sEVs released by these cells. In breast cancer (BC), overexpressing ECM1 increases matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and S100A/B protein levels. Interestingly, sEVs purified from high-fat diet-induced obesity mice (D-sEVs) deliver more ECM1 protein to BC cells compared to sEVs from control diet-fed mice. Consequently, BC cells secrete more ECM1 protein, which promotes cancer cell invasion and migration. D-sEVs treatment also significantly enhances ECM1-mediated BC metastasis and growth in mouse models, as evidenced by the elevated tumor levels of MMP3 and S100A/B. Our study reveals a mechanism and suggests sEV-based strategies for treating obesity-associated BC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous previous research have established the need for spiritual care among patients with cancer globally. Nevertheless, there was limited research, primarily qualitative, on the spiritual care needs of Chinese inpatients with advanced breast cancer. Furthermore, the need for spiritual care was rarely explored using the Kano model. To better understand the spiritual care needs and attributes characteristics of inpatients with advanced breast cancer, this study examined the Kano model. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional design study was conducted in the oncology departments of three tertiary grade-A hospitals in China from October 2022 to May 2023. To guarantee high-quality reporting of the study, the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Checklist was used. Data on the demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Nurse Spiritual Therapeutics Scale (NSTS), and the Kano model-based Nurse Spiritual Therapeutics Attributes Scale (K-NSTAs) were collected through convenience sampling. The Kano model, descriptive statistics, two independent samples t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The overall score for spiritual care needs was 31.16 ± 7.85. The two dimensions with the highest average scores, "create a good atmosphere" (3.16 ± 0.95), and the lowest average scores, "help religious practice" (1.72 ± 0.73). The 12 items were distributed as follows: three attractive attributes were located in Reserving Area IV; five one-dimensional attributes were distributed as follows: three one-dimensional attributes were located in Predominance Area I, and two were found in Improving Area II; two must-be attributes were located in Improving Area II; and two indifference attributes were located in Secondary Improving Area III. CONCLUSION The Chinese inpatients with advanced breast cancer had a middle level of spiritual care needs, which need to be further improved. Spiritual care needs attributes were defined, sorted, categorized, and optimized accurately and perfectly by the Kano model. And "create a good atmosphere" and "share self-perception" were primarily one-dimensional and must-be attributes. In contrast, the items in the dimensions of "share self-perception" and "help thinking" were principally attractive attributes. Nursing administrators are advised to optimize attractive attributes and transform indifference attributes by consolidating must-be and one-dimensional attributes, which will enable them to take targeted spiritual care measures based on each patient's characteristics and unique personality traits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors of acute pain after laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) in elderly patients. METHODS Totally, 143 elderly patients (≥ 60 y old) who received laparoscopic radical resection of CRC in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from March 2021 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to visual analog scale (VAS) scores 24 h after surgery: mild pain group (VAS score ≤ 3, n=108) and moderate to severe pain group (VAS score >3, n=35). The data of the patients, including sex, age, height, body mass, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative urine volume, intraoperative opioid dosage, operation duration, preoperative Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores, preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination scores, VAS scores, postoperative nausea and vomiting scores were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of postoperative acute pain in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. RESULTS The preoperative HADS score of the moderate to severe pain group was significantly increased compared with that of the mild pain group (10.8±2.4 vs. 6.2±1.9), as well as the operation duration (226.4±18.3 vs. 186.1±12.7), the intraoperative dosage of remifentanil (3.7±0.2 vs. 3.2±0.4), the preoperative VAS score [4(2, 7) vs. 2 (0, 4)] and postoperative VAS score [5 (4, 6) vs. 3 (2, 3)] ( P <0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high preoperative HADS score, long operation duration, and high preoperative VAS score ( P <0.05) were independent risk factors for acute pain after laparoscopic radical resection of CRC in elderly patients. CONCLUSION Preoperative anxiety and depression, preoperative pain, and long operation duration are risk factors for acute pain in elderly patients after laparoscopic radical resection of CRC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the risk of aristolochic acid (AA)-associated cancer in patients with AA nephropathy (AAN). METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with AAN at Peking University First Hospital from January 1997 to December 2014. Long-term surveillance and follow-up data were analyzed to investigate the influence of different factors on the prevalence of cancer. The primary endpoint was the incidence of liver cancer, and the secondary endpoint was the incidence of urinary cancer during 1 year after taking AA-containing medication to 2014. RESULTS A total of 337 patients diagnosed with AAN were included in this study. From the initiation of taking AA to the termination of follow-up, 39 patients were diagnosed with cancer. No cases of liver cancer were observed throughout the entire follow-up period, with urinary cancer being the predominant type (34/39, 87.17%). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, follow-up period, and diabetes were potential risk factors, however, the dosage of the drug was not significantly associated with urinary cancer. CONCLUSIONS No cases of liver cancer were observed at the end of follow-up. However, a high prevalence of urinary cancer was observed in AAN patients. Establishing a direct causality between AA and HCC is challenging.

Abstract
Background The GABRA1 gene, encoding the GABRAR subunit α1, plays vital roles in inhibitory neurons. Previously, the GABRA1 gene has been identified to be associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) and idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). This study aims to explore the phenotypic spectrum of GABRA1 and molecular subregional effect analysis. Methods Trios-based whole-exome sequencing was performed in patients with epilepsy. Previously reported GABRA1 mutations were systematically reviewed to analyze the molecular subregional effects. Results De novo GABRA1 mutations were identified in six unrelated patients with heterogeneous epilepsy, including three missense mutations (p.His83Asn, p.Val207Phe, and p.Arg214Cys) and one frameshift mutation (p.Thr453Hisfs*47). The two missense mutations, p.His83Asn and p.Val207Phe, were predicted to decrease the protein stability but no hydrogen bond alteration, with which the two patients also presented with mild genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus and achieved seizure-free status by monotherapy. The missense variant p.Arg214Cys was predicted to decrease protein stability and destroy hydrogen bonds with surrounding residues, which was recurrently identified in three cases with severe DEE. The frameshift variant p.Thr453Hisfs*47 was located in the last fifth residue of the C-terminus and caused an extension of 47 amino acids, with which the patients presented with moderated epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures alone (GTCA) but achieved seizure-free status by four drugs. The four variants were not presented in gnomAD and were evaluated as "pathogenic/likely pathogenic" according to ACMG criteria. Analysis of all reported cases indicated that patients with mutations in the N-terminal extracellular region presented a significantly higher percentage of FS and DEE, and the patients with variants in the transmembrane region presented earlier seizure onset ages. Significance This study suggested that GABRA1 variants were potentially associated with a spectrum of epilepsies, including EFS+, DEE, and GTCA. Phenotypic severity may be associated with the damaging effect of variants. The molecular subregional effects help in understanding the underlying mechanism of phenotypic variation.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the mechanism of tumor-derived exosomal (EVs) SNHG16 in promoting the progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). QRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of SNHG16, miR-23b-5p and MCM6 in NPC. MTT, flow cytometry and transwell were used to detect the effects of them on the proliferation, cycle, apoptosis and invasion ability of NPC. Transmission electron microscopy, Western blotting and BCA were used to verify the regulation of exosome secretion under different oxygen environments. Our results showed that hypoxia induces tumor-derived exosome SNHG16 to mediate NPC progression through the miR-23b-5p/MCM6 pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze dynamic functional connectivity (dFNC) states and influencing factors of brain network in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: A total of 111 male patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea or presenting with simple snoring, who visited the Sleep Clinic at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between August 2020 and December 2021, were prospectively selected for this study. General information was collected, and polysomnography (PSG) was performed. Based on the oxygen desaturation index (ODI), the participants were divided into three groups: primary snoring group (ODI<5 events/hour, n=34), mild to moderate OSA group (5 events/hour≤ODI<30 events/hour, n=43), and sever OSA group (ODI≥30 events/hour, n=34). Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, and daytime sleepiness was evaluated using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected and preprocessed. dFNC matrices were constructed using a sliding time window approach. The number of dFNC states was determined using k-means clustering analysis. Three parameters, namely, fractional time (FT), mean dwell time (MDT), and number of transitions (NT), were used to characterize the temporal properties of dFNC states. Differences in the temporal properties of dFNC states among the groups were compared. The correlations between temporal properties and PSG parameters, as well as MoCA and ESS scores, were further analyzed. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors of the temporal properties of dFNC states. Results: The age of the patients was (40.2±8.6) years (range: 25-65 years). There were no significant differences in age, smoking history and alcohol history, and MoCA scores among the three groups (all P>0.05). Three dFNC states were extracted through k-means clustering analysis: state 1, characterized by strong connections within the visual and sensorimotor networks with a frequency of 31.7% (4 611/14 541); state 2, characterized by strong connections within the default mode network, attention network, and other cognitive networks, with the lowest frequency of 22.1% (3 213/14 541); state 3, characterized by weaker connections across the whole brain, with the highest frequency of 46.2% (6 717/14 541). The FT [0.28 (0.05, 0.35) vs 0.39 (0.26, 0.53)] and MDT [8.20 (4.35, 12.54) vs 11.68 (8.50, 16.69)] of state 2 in the sever OSA group were lower than those in the primary snoring group (both P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the temporal properties of states 1 and 3 among the three groups (all P>0.05). The FT and MDT of state 2 were correlated with body mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), ODI, and minimum oxygen saturation (MinSaO2) (FT: r values were -0.218, -0.230, -0.249, 0.198, respectively; MDT: r values were 0.269, -0.253, -0.265, 0.209, respectively; all P<0.05). There were no significant correlations between the temporal properties and MoCA or ESS scores (all P>0.05). ODI was found to be an influencing factor for the temporal properties of state 2 (FT: β=-0.225, 95%CI:-0.227 to -0.223; MDT: β=-0.241, 95%CI:-0.289 to -0.195). Conclusions: Male patients with OSA exhibit alterations in specific temporal properties of brain network dynamic functional connectivity, which are associated with nocturnal oxygen parameters. This may be one of the mechanisms underlying brain functional damage in patients with OSA.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal neoplasms and has a 5-year survival rate of only 18% in patients with metastatic diseases. Epigenetic modifiers and alterations, including histone modifications, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA), RNA alternative splicing, and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, are key regulators of HCC development, highlighting the importance of understanding the cross-talk between these biological processes. In the current study, we identified LINC01089 as a super enhancer (SE)-driven lncRNA that promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, invasion, and metastasis of HCC cells in vivo and in vitro. The transcription factor E2F1 bound to a LINC01089 SE, promoting LINC01089 transcription and overexpression. LINC01089 interacted with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M (hnRNPM) and led to hnRNPM-mediated skipping of DIAPH3 exon 3. Knockdown of LINC01089 increased the inclusion of DIAPH3 exon 3, which contains an important m6A-modification site that is recognized by IGF2BP3 to increase DIAPH3 mRNA stability. Thus, LINC01089 loss increased DIAPH3 protein levels, which suppressed the ERK/Elk1/Snail axis and inhibited EMT of HCC cells. In conclusion, this study revealed cross-talk between different epigenetics modifiers and alterations that drives HCC progression and identified LINC01089 as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for HCC. SIGNIFICANCE LINC01089 is a super enhancer-driven long noncoding RNA that induces ERK signaling and epithelial-mesenchymal transition by regulating DIAPH3 alternative splicing that blocks N6-methyladenosine-mediated mRNA stabilization, establishing an epigenetic network that promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis.

Abstract
Plant natural products are important sources of innovative drugs, but the extraction and isolation of medicinal natural products from plants is challenging as these compounds have complex structures that are difficult to synthesize chemically. Therefore, utilizing heterologous expression systems to produce medicinal natural products in plants is a novel, environmentally friendly, and sustainable method. In this study, Nicotiana benthamiana was used as the plant platform to successfully produce miltiradiene, the key intermediate of tanshinones, which are the bioactive constituents of the Chinese medicinal plant Salvia miltiorrhiza. The yield of miltiradiene was increased through cytoplasmic engineering strategies combined with the enhancement of isoprenoid precursors. Additionally, we discovered that overexpressing SmHMGR alone accelerated apoptosis in tobacco leaves. Due to the richer membrane systems and cofactors in tobacco compared to yeast, tobacco is more conducive to the expression of plant enzymes. Therefore, this study lays the foundation for dissecting the tanshinone biosynthetic pathway in tobacco, which is essential for subsequent research. Additionally, it highlights the potential of N. benthamiana as an alternative platform for the production of natural products in plants.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common difficult disease with a high disability rate. Siegesbeckia orientalis L. (SO), a Chinese medicinal herb that is commonly used for treating RA in clinical practice. While, the anti-RA effect and the mechanisms of action of SO, as well as its active compound(s) have not been elucidated clearly. AIM OF THE STUDY We aim to explore the molecular mechanism of SO against RA by using network pharmacology analysis, as well as the in vitro and in vivo experimental validations, and to explore the potential bioactive compound(s) in SO. METHODS Network pharmacology is an advanced technology that provides us an efficient way to study the therapeutic actions of herbs with the underlying mechanisms of action delineated. Here, we used this approach to explore the anti-RA effects of SO, and then the molecular biological approaches were used to verify the prediction. We first established a drug-ingredient-target-disease network and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of SO-related RA targets, followed by the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. Further, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) models, as well as adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) rat model to validate the anti-RA effects of SO. The chemical profile of SO was also determined by using the UHPLC-TOF-MS/MS analysis. RESULTS Network pharmacology analysis highlighted inflammatory- and angiogenesis-related signaling pathways as promising pathways that mediate the anti-RA effects of SO. Further, in both in vivo and in vitro models, we found that the anti-RA effect of SO is at least partially due to the inhibition of toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Molecular docking analysis revealed that luteolin, an active compound in SO, shows the highest degree of connections in compound-target network; moreover, it has a direct binding to the TLR4/MD-2 complex, which is confirmed in cell models. Besides, more than forty compounds including luteolin, darutoside and kaempferol corresponding to their individual peaks were identified tentatively via matching with the empirical molecular formulae and their mass fragments. CONCLUSION We found that SO and its active compound luteolin exhibit anti-RA activities and potently inhibit TLR4 signaling both in vitro and in vivo. These findings not only indicate the advantage of network pharmacology in the discovery of herb-based therapeutics for treating diseases, but also suggest that SO and its active compound(s) could be developed as potential anti-RA therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Human semen, consisting of spermatozoa (sperm) and seminal plasma, represents a special clinical sample type in human body fluid. Protein glycosylation in sperm and seminal plasma plays key roles in spermatogenesis, maturation, capacitation, sperm-egg recognition, motility of sperm, and fertilization. In this study, we profiled the most comprehensive O-glycoproteome map of human sperm and seminal plasma using our recently presented Glycoproteomics based on Two Complementary Fragmentation Methods (GlycoTCFM). We showed that sperm and seminal plasma contain many novel and distinctive O-glycoproteins, which are mostly located in the extracellular region (seminal plasma) and sperm membrane, enriched in the biological processes of cell adhesion and angiogenesis, and mainly involved in multiple biological functions including extracellular matrix structural constituents and binding. Based on GlycoTCFM, we created a comprehensive human sperm and seminal plasma O-glycoprotein database that contains 371 intact O-glycopeptides and 202 O-glycosites from 68 O-glycoproteins. Interestingly, 105 manually confirmed O-glycosites from 25 O-glycoproteins were reported for the first time, and they were mainly modified by core 1 O-glycans. We also found that three highly abundant, highly complex, and highly O-glycosylated proteins (semenogelin-1, semenogelin-2, and equatorin) may play important roles in sperm or seminal plasma composition and function. These data deepen our knowledge about O-glycosylation in sperm and seminal plasma and lay the foundation for the functional study of O-glycoproteins in male infertility.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most common malignances and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although the critical role of several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) transcribed from several GC-risk loci has been established, we still know little about the biological significance of these lncRNAs at most gene loci and how they play in cell signaling. In the present study, we identified a novel oncogenic lncRNA LINC01226 transcribed from the 1p35.2 GC-risk locus. LINC01226 shows markedly higher expression levels in GC specimens compared with those in normal tissues. High expression of LINC01226 is evidently correlated with worse prognosis of GC cases. In line with these, oncogenic LINC01226 promotes proliferation, migration and metastasis of GC cells ex vivo and in vivo. Importantly, LINC01226 binds to STIP1 protein, leads to disassembly of the STIP1-HSP90 complex, elevates interactions between HSP90 and β-catenin, stabilizes β-catenin protein, activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and, thereby, promote GC progression. Together, our findings uncovered a novel layer regulating the Wnt signaling in cancers and uncovers a new epigenetic mode of GC tumorigenesis. These discoveries also shed new light on the importance of functional lncRNAs as innovative therapeutic targets through precisely controlling protein-protein interactions in cancers.

Abstract
Due to its tumor homing and long serum half-life, albumin is an ideal drug carrier for chemotherapy. For endogenous albumin hitchhiking with high cargo loading, a trimeric albumin-binding domain (ABD), i.e., ABD-Tri is designed by fusing an ABD with high specificity and affinity for albumin to a self-trimerizing domain (Tri) with an additional cysteine residue. ABD-Tri is highly (40 mg L-1 ) expressed as soluble and trimeric proteins in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Once mixed together, ABD-Tri rapidly and specifically forms a stable complex with albumin under physiological conditions without obviously changing its receptor- and cell-binding and tumor-homing properties. Maleimide-modified prodrugs are highly effectively conjugated to ABD-Tri to produce homogenous ABD-Tri-prodrugs with triple cargo loading under physiological conditions by thiol-maleimide click chemistry. Unlike the maleimide moiety, which can only mediate time- and concentration-dependent albumin binding, ABD-Tri mediated fast (within several minutes) albumin binding of drugs even at extremely low concentrations (µg mL-1 ). Compared to maleimide-modified prodrugs, ABD-Tri-prodrugs exhibit better tumor homing and greater in vivo antitumor effect, indicating that conjugation of chemical drug to ABD-Tri outperforms maleimide modification for endogenous albumin hitchhiking. The results demonstrate that ABD-Tri may serve as a novel platform to produce albumin-binding prodrugs with high cargo-loading capacity for tumor-targeted chemotherapy.

Abstract
Fargesia angustissima T. P. Yi, categorized into Arundinarieae (Poaceae: Bambusoideae), is a critical species endemic to Minshan Mountain, China. F. angustissima provides shelter and food sources for the giant panda and other endangered animals (e.g. red panda and snub-nosed monkey). This study assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of F. angustissima using the high-throughput sequencing technique. The total cp length was 139,706 bp, containing 130 annotated genes with predicted GC content at 38.87%. The cp genome comprises two single-copy (LSC and SSC) regions, harboring 83,282 bp and 12,830 bp, respectively. The SSC regions were located between two inverted repeats (IR) regions (21,797 bp). Reconstruction of the phylogenetic tree illustrated that F. angustissima clustered F. canaliculata in Fargesia II. The study provides theoretical clues to explore the geographical distribution and species-level identification of the Fargesia genus.

Abstract
We present the precision measurements of 11 years of daily cosmic positron fluxes in the rigidity range from 1.00 to 41.9 GV based on 3.4×10^{6} positrons collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. The positron fluxes show distinctly different time variations from the electron fluxes at short and long timescales. A hysteresis between the electron fluxes and the positron fluxes is observed with a significance greater than 5σ at rigidities below 8.5 GV. On the contrary, the positron fluxes and the proton fluxes show similar time variation. Remarkably, we found that positron fluxes are modulated more than proton fluxes with a significance greater than 5σ for rigidities below 7 GV. These continuous daily positron fluxes, together with AMS daily electron, proton, and helium fluxes over an 11-year solar cycle, provide unique input to the understanding of both the charge-sign and mass dependencies of cosmic rays in the heliosphere.

Abstract
Uromodulin (Umod, Tamm-Horsfall protein) is the most abundant urinary N-glycoprotein produced exclusively by the kidney. It can form filaments to antagonize the adhesion of uropathogens. However, the site-specific N-glycosylation signatures of Umod in healthy individuals and patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) remain poorly understood due to the lack of suitable isolation and analytical methods. In this study, we first presented a simple and fast method based on diatomaceous earth adsorption to isolate Umod. These isolated glycoproteins were digested by trypsin and/or Glu-C. Intact N-glycopeptides with or without HILIC enrichment were analyzed using our developed EThcD-sceHCD-MS/MS. Based on the optimized workflow, we identified a total of 780 unique intact N-glycopeptides (7 N-glycosites and 152 N-glycan compositions) from healthy individuals. As anticipated, these glycosites exhibited glycoform heterogeneity. Almost all N-glycosites were modified completely by the complex type, except for one N-glycosite (N275), which was nearly entirely occupied by the high-mannose type for mediating Umod's antiadhesive activity. Then, we compared the N-glycosylation of Umod between healthy controls (n = 9) and IgAN patients (n = 9). The N-glycosylation of Umod in IgAN patients will drastically decrease and be lost. Finally, we profiled the most comprehensive site-specific N-glycosylation map of Umod and revealed its alterations in IgAN patients. Our method provides a high-throughput workflow for characterizing the N-glycosylation of Umod, which can aid in understanding its roles in physiology and pathology, as well as serving as a potential diagnostic tool for evolution of renal tubular function.

Abstract
Clinical application of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is predominantly limited by its inefficient apoptosis induction in tumor cells, which might be improved by using molecular superglue-mediated hyperoligomerization to increase its valency. Here, the minimal superglue peptide pairs, including Snoopligase-catalyzed SnoopTagJr/SnoopDogTag and SpyStapler-catalyzed SpyTag/SpyBDTag, were individually fused at the N- or C-terminus of the TRAIL promoter to produce superglue-fusion TRAIL variants. Similar to native trivalent TRAIL, these superglue-fusion TRAIL variants were highly expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and spontaneously trimerized. In the presence of Snoopligase or SpyStapler, the trivalent superglue-fusion TRAIL variants were predominantly crosslinked into hexavalent TRAIL variants. Nevertheless, Snoopligase was more efficient than SpyStapler in the production of hexavalent TRAIL variants. In particular, Snoopligase-catalyzed trivalent TRAIL variants with N-terminal fusion of SnoopTagJr/SnoopDogTag produced hexavalent SnHexaTR with the highest yield (∼70%). The in vitro cytotoxicity of SnHexaTR was 10-40 times greater than that of TRAIL in several tumor cells. In addition, compared to trivalent TRAIL, hexavalent SnHexaTR showed a longer serum half-life and greater tumor uptake, which resulted in eradication of 50% of tumor xenografts of TRAIL-sensitive COLO 205. In mice bearing TRAIL-resistant HT-29 tumor xenografts, hexavalent SnHexaTR combined with bortezomib encapsulated in liposomes also showed robust tumor growth suppression, indicating that hyperoligomerization mediated by minimal molecular superglue significantly increased the cytotoxicity and antitumor effect of TRAIL. As a novel anticancer agent candidate, the hexavalent SnHexaTR has great potential for clinical application in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) is a rapidly progressive renal interstitial fibrosis caused by medical or environmental exposure to aristolochic acid (AA). Since the outbreak of AAN in Belgium was reported nearly 30 years ago, the safety of herbal remedies has drawn considerable attention, and AAN has become a global public health problem. Breakthroughs have been made to better understand the disease, including the toxicity of AAs, the possible mechanisms of AAN, the disease patterns, and the pathological features; however, some critical problems remain unresolved. Because of the insidious onset of the disease, the incidence of AAN and the prevalence of exposure to AAs are unknown and might be largely underestimated. During the past decades, AA-containing herbs have been strictly administrated in many regions and the occurrence of AAN has declined sharply, yet cases of AAN are still sporadically reported. Despite the progress in the understanding of the disease's pathogenesis, there is no effective treatment for delaying or reversing the renal deterioration caused by AAN. Therefore, the risk of exposure to AAs should be taken seriously by public health workers and clinicians. In this review, we updated the latest data on AAN, summarized the advances throughout these years, and put forward some challenges for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered miR-188-3p expression has been observed in various human cancers. AIM To investigate the miR-188-3p expression, its roles, and underlying molecular events in gastric cancer. METHODS Fifty gastric cancer and paired normal tissues were collected to analyze miR-188-3p and CBL expression. Normal and gastric cancer cells were used to manipulate miR-188-3p and CBL expression through different assays. The relationship between miR-188-3p and CBL was predicted bioinformatically and confirmed using a luciferase gene reporter assay. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to associate miR-188-3p or CBL expression with patient survival. A nude mouse tumor cell xenograft assay was used to confirm the in vitro data. RESULTS MiR-188-3p was found to be lower in the plasma of gastric cancer patients, tissues, and cell lines compared to their healthy counterparts. It was associated with overall survival of gastric cancer patients (P < 0.001), tumor differentiation (P < 0.001), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.033), tumor node metastasis stage (I/II vs III/IV, P = 0.024), and American Joint Committee on Cancer stage (I/II vs III/IV, P = 0.03). Transfection with miR-188-3p mimics reduced tumor cell growth and invasion while inducing apoptosis and autophagy. CBL was identified as a direct target of miR-188-3p, with its expression antagonizing the effects of miR-188-3p on gastric cancer (GC) cell proliferation by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and autophagy through the inactivation of the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. The in vivo data confirmed antitumor activity via CBL downregulation in gastric cancer. CONCLUSION The current data provides ex vivo, in vitro, and in vivo evidence that miR-188-3p acts as a tumor suppressor gene or possesses antitumor activity in GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment. However, their use has been restricted in patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases due to concerns about increased risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a patient with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma and a history of complement-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia in remission. After receiving a single dose of pembrolizumab, the patient experienced life-threatening recurrent hemolytic anemia, de novo thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, myocarditis, and acute kidney injury. Laboratory tests confirmed the diagnosis of Evan's syndrome, with positive PAIgG and direct antiglobulin test. Treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone at a dose of 2 mg/kg resulted in a favorable response, with resolution of symptoms and rapid recovery of kidney function. The probable cause of pre-renal hypoperfusion (evidenced by a BUN-to-creatinine ratio of 48.1) leading to acute tubular injury was attributed to pembrolizumab-induced diarrhea. CONCLUSIONS This case illustrates a life-threatening recurrence of complement-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia induced by ICIs. Clinicians should carefully consider the expected efficacy and potential toxicity before initiating ICIs therapy in patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases. Additionally, the occurrence of acute kidney injury during ICIs therapy adds complexity and requires careful differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related morbidity worldwide, with an estimated of 1.85 million new cases and 850,000 deaths every year. Nevertheless, the current treatment regimens for CRC have many disadvantages, including toxicities and off-targeted side effects. STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) has been considered as a promising molecular target for CRC therapy. Brevilin A, a sesquiterpene lactone compound rich in Centipedae Herba has potent anticancer effects in nasopharyngeal, prostate and breast cancer cells by inhibiting the STAT3 signaling. However, the anti-CRC effect of brevilin A and the underlying mechanism of action have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the involvement of STAT3 signaling in the anti-CRC action of brevilin A. Here, HCT-116 and CT26 cell models were used to investigate the anti-CRC effects of brevilin A in vitro. HCT-116 cells overespressing with STAT3 were used to evaluate the involvement of STAT3 signaling in the anti-CRC effect of brevilin A. Screening of 49 phosphorylated tyrosine kinases in the HCT-116 cells after brevilin A treatment was performed by using the human phospho-receptor tyrosine kinase (phospho-RTK) array. Results showed that brevilin A inhibited cell proliferation and cell viability, induced apoptosis, reduced cell migration and invasion, inhibited angiogenesis, lowered the protein expression levels of phospho-Src (Tyr416), phospho-JAK2 (Y1007/1008) and phospho-STAT3 (Tyr705), and inhibited STAT3 activation and nuclear localization. Brevilin A also significantly reduced the protein expression levels of STAT3 target genes, such as MMP-2, VEGF and Bcl-xL. More importantly, over-activation of STAT3 diminished brevilin A's effects on cell viability. All these results suggest that brevilin A exerts potent anti-CRC effects, at least in part, by inhibiting STAT3 signaling. Our findings provide a strong pharmacological basis for the future exploration and development of brevilin A as a novel STAT3-targeting phytotherapeutic agent for CRC treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ustekinumab (UST) optimization strategies, including shortening intervals and intravenous reinduction, should be administered to patients with partial or loss of respond. Evidence comparing these types of optimization treatments is limited. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of weight-based UST intravenous reinduction in patients with refractory Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS This was a single-center retrospective observational study. Optimization strategies were designed for patients showing partial or loss of response to standardized UST therapy. Clinical, biochemical, and endoscopic response and remission rate were determined by Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and SES-CD evaluation. UST trough concentrations were detected and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS A total of 128 patients receiving UST optimization therapies were included, with 105 patients administered shortening intervals of q8w or q4w, and 23 receiving intravenous reinduction followed by subcutaneous q8w or q4w. The follow-up duration for the shortening interval and reinduction cohorts were 15.0 (10.0, 31.0) and 23.0 (13.0, 70.0) weeks, respectively. A significant CDAI delta variation pre-and post-treatment could be found between groups [17.0 (-4.4, 65.9) vs. 69.0(10.7, 151.0), p = 0.013]. the trough concentration of UST increased [2.5 (1.3, 5.3) vs. 1.1 (0.5, 2.3), p = 0.001] after intravenous reinduction. Clinical and endoscopic remission were achieved in 69.6 and 31.8% of patients in the intravenous reinduction cohort, and 62.9 and 22.2% of patients in the shortening interval cohort, respectively. No significant difference was found between groups regarding safety. CONCLUSION Intravenous reinduction brought about favorable recapture of clinical and endoscopic remission, and should have significant priority over the strategy of merely shortening drug intervals, which should be launched before switching to other biologics targeting different inflammatory pathways.Clinical Trial Registration: identifier NCT04923100. https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04923100?id=04923100&draw=2&rank=1.

Abstract
Euphorbia stracheyi Boiss was used for hemostasis, analgesia, and muscular regeneration in traditional Chinese medicine. To study the chemical constituents of E. stracheyi, the ethyl acetate part of the methanol extract of the whole plant was separated by silica gel, sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and semi-preparative HPLC. The isolation led to the characterization of a new lathyrane type diterpenoid, euphostrachenol A (1), as well as eleven known compounds (2-11), including a lathyrane, three ingenane-type and two abietane-type diterpenoids, two ionones, and two flavonoids. The structures of these compounds were established using 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallographic experiments. The MTT method was used to determine the cytotoxic activity of five cancer cell lines (Leukemia HL-60, lung cancer A-549, liver cancer SMMC-7721, breast cancer MCF-7, and colon cancer SW480) on the isolated compounds. However, only compound 4 showed moderate cytotoxicity against these cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 10.28 to 29.70 μM, while the others were inactive. Our chemical investigation also confirmed the absence of jatrophane-type diterpenoids in the species, which may be related to its special habitat.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that electrolyte ionic conductivity plays a pivotal role in reducing the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In this regard, nanocomposite electrolytes have drawn significant attention owing to their enhanced ionic conductivity and fast ionic transport. In this study, we fabricated CeO2-La1-2xBaxBixFeO3 nanocomposites and tested them as a high-performance electrolyte for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). The prepared samples were characterized by their phase structure, surface, and interface property via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), followed by being applied in SOFCs to examine their electrochemical performance. In the fuel cells, it was found that the optimal composition 90CeO2-10La1-2xBaxBixFeO3 electrolyte-based SOFC delivered a peak power density of 834 mW cm-2 along with an open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.04 V at 550 °C. A comparative study revealed that the nanocomposite electrolyte exhibited a total conductivity of 0.11 S cm-1 at 550 °C. Moreover, the rectification curve manifested the formation of the Schottky junction, suppressing the electronic conduction. This study conclusively shows that the addition of La1-2xBaxBixFeO3 (LBBF) into ceria electrolyte is a viable approach for constructing high-performance electrolytes for LT-SOFCs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to elucidate the coagulation disorders in non-ICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and their contribution to clotting-related outcomes of intermittent kidney replacement therapy (KRT). METHODS We included non-ICU-admitted patients with AKI requiring intermittent KRT, clinically having a risk of bleeding and against systemic anticoagulant use during KRT between April and December 2018. The premature termination of treatment due to circuit clotting was considered a poor outcome. We analyzed the characteristics of thromboelastography (TEG)-derived and traditional coagulation parameters and explored the potential-affecting factors. RESULTS In total, 64 patients were enrolled. Hypocoagulability was detected in 4.7%-15.6% of patients by a combination of the traditional parameters, i.e., prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio, activated partial PT, and fibrinogen. No patient had hypocoagulability observed on TEG-derived reaction time; only 2.1%, 3.1%, and 10.9% of patients had hypocoagulability on TEG-derived kinetic time (K-time), α-angle, and maximum amplitude (MA), respectively, which were also platelet-related coagulation parameters, despite 37.5% of the cohort having thrombocytopenia. In contrast, hypercoagulability was more prevalent, involving 12.5%, 43.8%, 21.9%, and 48.4% of patients on TEG K-time, α-angle, MA, and coagulation index (CI), respectively, although thrombocytosis was only in 1.5% of the cohort. Patients with thrombocytopenia showed lower fibrinogen level (2.6 vs. 4.0 g/L, p = 0.00), α-angle (63.5° vs. 73.3°, p = 0.00), MA (53.5 vs. 66.1 mm, p = 0.00), and CI (1.8 vs. 3.6, p = 0.00) but higher thrombin time (17.8 vs. 16.2 s, p = 0.00) and K-time (2.0 vs. 1.2 min, p = 0.00) than those with a platelet count over 100 × 109/L. 41 patients were treated with heparin-free protocol, and 23 were treated with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA). The premature termination rate was 41.5% on heparin-free patients, while 8.7% of patients underwent an RCA protocol (p = 0.006). Heparin-free protocol was the strongest adverse factor to poor outcomes. A heparin-free subgroup analysis found that the circuit clotting risk was increased by 61.7% with a 10 × 109/L elevation in platelet count (odds ratio [OR] = 1.617, p = 0.049) and decreased by 67.5% following a second increase of PT (OR = 0.325, p = 0.041). No significant correlation was found between TEG parameters and premature circuit clotting. CONCLUSIONS Most non-ICU-admitted patients with AKI had normal-to-enhanced hemostasis and activated platelet function based on TEG results, as well as a high rate of premature circuit clotting when receiving heparin-free protocol despite thrombocytopenia. Further studies are needed to better determine the use of TEG in respect to management of anticoagulation and bleeding complications in AKI patients with KRT.

Abstract
N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is one of the most extremely examined RNA modifications. M6A modification evidently impacts cancer development by effecting RNA metabolism. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in multiple essential biological processes by regulating gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Accumulated evidences indicated that m6A is involved in regulating the cleavage, stability, structure, transcription, and transport of lncRNAs or miRNAs. Additionally, ncRNAs also play significant roles in modulating m6A levels of malignant cells by participating in the regulation of m6A methyltransferases, the m6A demethylases and the m6A binding proteins. In this review, we systematically summarize the new insight on the interactions between m6A and lncRNAs or miRNAs, as well as their impacts on gastrointestinal cancer progression. Although there are still extensive studies on genome-wide screening of crucial lncRNAs or miRNAs involved in regulating m6A levels of mRNAs and disclosing differences on mechanisms of regulating m6A modification of lncRNAs, miRNAs or mRNAs in cancer cells, we believe that targeting m6A-related lncRNAs and miRNAs may provide novel options for gastrointestinal cancer treatments.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the alertness and task processing speed impairment status in young-mild aged men with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and analyze its influencing factors. Methods: This prospective study recruited 251 snoring patients aged 18 to 59 (38.9±7.6) years in the Sleep Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 2020 to September 2021 and all patients were diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG). Clinical information, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and PSG date were collected. All patients were assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) questionnaires, Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Computerized Neurocognitive Assessment System which includes the reaction time of Motor Screening Task (MOT) for alertness, the reaction time of pattern recognition memory (PRM), spatial span (SSP) and spatial working memory (SWM) for task processing speed. Based on AHI tertiles, all patients were divided into Q1 group (AHI<15 times/h, n=79), Q2 group (15 times/h≤AHI<45 times/h, n=88), and Q3 group (AHI≥45 times/h, n=84). The characteristics of clinical information, ESS, PSG parameters and cognitive scores among three groups were compared. Multiple linear stepwise regression was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive impairment. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in age, years of education, history of smoking and drinking, and past disease history (except for the prevalence of hypertension) among the 3 groups (P>0.05). There were statistically significant among-group differences in the body mass index (BMI), ESS, prevalence of hypertension and complaints of daytime sleepiness (P<0.05). Compared with Q1 and Q2 group, the arousal index (ArI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI),the proportion of non-rapid eye movement phase 1 and 2 (N1+N2) and percentage of total sleep time with oxygen saturation level<90% (TS90) of Q3 group were higher (all P<0.05). In the cognitive assessment, there was no statistically significant difference in the MoCA total and individual scores and MMSE scores among the three groups (P>0.05). Compared with the Q1 group, the task processing speed and alertness were worse in Q3 group, as shown by slower PRM immediate and delayed reaction time, SSP reaction time and MOT reaction time (all P<0.05). The total time of SWM in Q2 group was slower than that in Q1 group (P<0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression showed that years of education (β=-40.182, 95%CI:-69.847--10.517), ODI (β=3.539, 95%CI: 0.600-6.478) were the risk factors of PRM immediate reaction time. Age(β=13.303,95%CI: 2.487-24.119), years of education(β=-32.329, 95%CI:-63.162--1.497), ODI (β=4.515, 95%CI: 1.623-7.407) were the risk factors of PRM delayed reaction time. ODI was the risk factor of SSP reaction time (β=1.258, 95%CI: 0.379-2.137). TS90 was the risk factor of MOT reaction time (β=1.796, 95%CI: 0.664-2.928). Conclusions: The early cognitive impairment in young-mild aged OSAHS patients was manifested in decreased alertness and task processing speed, and intermittent nocturnal hypoxia was its influencing factor in addition to age and years of education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HCFC1 encodes transcriptional co-regulator HCF-1, which undergoes an unusual proteolytic maturation at a centrally located proteolysis domain. HCFC1 variants were associated with X-linked cobalamin metabolism disorders and mental retardation-3. This study aimed to explore the role of HCFC1 variants in common epilepsy and the mechanism underlying phenotype heterogeneity. METHODS Whole-exome sequencing was performed in a cohort of 313 patients with idiopathic partial (focal) epilepsy. Functional studies determined the effects of the variants on the proteolytic maturation of HCF-1, cell proliferation and MMACHC expression. The role of HCFC1 variants in partial epilepsy was validated in another cohort from multiple centers. RESULTS We identified seven hemizygous HCFC1 variants in 11 cases and confirmed the finding in the validation cohort with additional 13 cases and six more hemizygous variants. All patients showed partial epilepsies with favorable outcome. None of them had cobalamin disorders. Functional studies demonstrated that the variants in the proteolysis domain impaired the maturation by disrupting the cleavage process with loss of inhibition of cell growth but did not affect MMACHC expression that was associated with cobalamin disorder. The degree of functional impairment was correlated with the severity of phenotype. Further analysis demonstrated that variants within the proteolysis domain were associated with common and mild partial epilepsy, whereas those in the kelch domain were associated with cobalamin disorder featured by severe and even fatal epileptic encephalopathy, and those in the basic and acidic domains were associated with mainly intellectual disability. CONCLUSION HCFC1 is potentially a candidate gene for common partial epilepsy with distinct underlying mechanism of proteolysis dysfunction. The HCF-1 domains played distinct functional roles and were associated with different clinical phenotypes, suggesting a sub-molecular effect. The distinct difference between cobalamin disorders and idiopathic partial epilepsy in phenotype and pathogenic mechanism, implied a clinical significance in early diagnosis and management.

Abstract
Implanted brain-computer interface (iBCI) is a system that establishes a direct communication channel between human brain and computer or an external devices by implanted neural electrode. Because of the good functional extensibility, iBCI devices as a platform technology have the potential to bring benefit to people with nervous system disease and progress rapidly from fundamental neuroscience discoveries to translational applications and market access. In this report, the industrialization process of implanted neural regulation medical devices is reviewed, and the translational pathway of iBCI in clinical application is proposed. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and guidances for iBCI were expounded as a breakthrough medical device. Furthermore, several iBCI products in the process of applying for medical device registration certificate were briefly introduced and compared recently. Due to the complexity of iBCI in clinical application, the translational applications and industrialization of iBCI as a medical device need the closely cooperation between regulatory departments, companies, universities, institutes and hospitals in the future.

Abstract
We report the properties of primary cosmic-ray sulfur (S) in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV based on 0.38×10^{6} sulfur nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment (AMS). We observed that above 90 GV the rigidity dependence of the S flux is identical to the rigidity dependence of Ne-Mg-Si fluxes, which is different from the rigidity dependence of the He-C-O-Fe fluxes. We found that, similar to N, Na, and Al cosmic rays, over the entire rigidity range, the traditional primary cosmic rays S, Ne, Mg, and C all have sizeable secondary components, and the S, Ne, and Mg fluxes are well described by the weighted sum of the primary silicon flux and the secondary fluorine flux, and the C flux is well described by the weighted sum of the primary oxygen flux and the secondary boron flux. The primary and secondary contributions of the traditional primary cosmic-ray fluxes of C, Ne, Mg, and S (even Z elements) are distinctly different from the primary and secondary contributions of the N, Na, and Al (odd Z elements) fluxes. The abundance ratio at the source for S/Si is 0.167±0.006, for Ne/Si is 0.833±0.025, for Mg/Si is 0.994±0.029, and for C/O is 0.836±0.025. These values are determined independent of cosmic-ray propagation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some clinicians used levothyroxine (LT4) treatment for mild subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) pregnant women (2.5 < thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) ≤ the pregnancy-specific reference range with normal free thyroxine (FT4) level) with thyroid peroxidase antibody negative (TPOAb-), although the recent clinical guideline did not recommend it. It is unknown whether LT4 treatment for pregnant women with mild SCH and TPOAb- have impact on fetal growth. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of LT4 treatment on fetal growth and birth weight among mild SCH pregnant women with TPOAb-. METHODS This was a birth cohort study including 14,609 pregnant women between 2016 and 2019 in Tongzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Beijing, China. Pregnant women were divided into 3 groups as follows: Euthyroid (n = 14,285, 0.03 ≤ TSH ≤ 2.5mIU/L, normal FT4), TPOAb-; Untreated mild SCH with TPOAb- (n = 248, 2.5 < TSH ≤ 2.9mIU/L, normal FT4, without LT4 treatment); Treated mild SCH with TPOAb- (n = 76, 2.5 < TSH ≤ 2.9mIU/L, normal FT4, with LT4 treatment). The main outcome measures were Z-scores of fetal growth indicators (abdominal circumference (AC), biparietal diameter (BPD), femur length (FL), head circumference (HC), estimated fetal weight (EFW)), fetal growth restriction (FGR) and birth weight. RESULTS There was no difference in fetal growth indicators and birth weight between the untreated mild SCH women with TPOAb- and the euthyroid pregnant women. But the HC Z-score was lower in the LT4 treated mild SCH women with TPOAb-, compared with the euthyroid pregnant women (β = -0.223, 95%CI: -0.422, -0.023). The LT4 treated mild SCH women with TPOAb- had lower fetal HC Z-score (β = -0.236, 95%CI: -0.457, -0.015), compared with the untreated mild SCH women with TPOAb-. CONCLUSIONS We observed that LT4 treatment for mild SCH with TPOAb- was associated with decreased fetal HC, which was not observed for untreated mild SCH women with TPOAb-. The adverse effect of LT4 treatment for mild SCH with TPOAb- provided new evidence for the recent clinical guideline.
