Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction, characterized by high morbidity and mortality, has now become a serious health hazard for human beings. Conventional surgical interventions to restore blood flow can rapidly relieve acute myocardial ischemia, but the ensuing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) and subsequent heart failure have become medical challenges that researchers have been trying to overcome. The pathogenesis of MI/RI involves several mechanisms, including overproduction of reactive oxygen species, abnormal mitochondrial function, calcium overload, and other factors that induce cell death and inflammatory responses. These mechanisms have led to the exploration of antioxidant and inflammation-modulating therapies, as well as the development of myocardial protective factors and stem cell therapies. However, the short half-life, low bioavailability, and lack of targeting of these drugs that modulate these pathological mechanisms, combined with liver and spleen sequestration and continuous washout of blood flow from myocardial sites, severely compromise the expected efficacy of clinical drugs. To address these issues, employing conventional nanocarriers and integrating them with contemporary biomimetic nanocarriers, which rely on passive targeting and active targeting through precise modifications, can effectively prolong the duration of therapeutic agents within the body, enhance their bioavailability, and augment their retention at the injured myocardium. Consequently, these approaches significantly enhance therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing toxic side effects. This article reviews current drug delivery systems used for MI/RI, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on treating this disease.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Rosa damascena is an ancient plant with significance in both medicine and perfumery that have a variety of therapeutic properties, including antidepressant, anti-anxiety, and anti-stress effects. Rose damascena essential oil (REO) has been used to treat depression, anxiety and other neurological related disorders in Iranian traditional medicine. However, its precise mechanism of action remains elusive. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to investigate the impact and mechanism underlying the influence of REO on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique coupling was used to analyze of the components of REO. A CUMS rat model was replicated to assess the antidepressant effects of varying doses of REO. This assessment encompassed behavioral evaluations, biochemical index measurements, and hematoxylin-eosin staining. For a comprehensive analysis of hippocampal tissues, we employed transcriptomics and incorporated weighting coefficients by means of network pharmacology. These measures allowed us to explore differentially expressed genes and biofunctional pathways affected by REO in the context of depression treatment. Furthermore, GC-MS metabolomics was employed to assess metabolic profiles, while a joint analysis in Metscape facilitated the construction of a network elucidating the links between differentially expressed genes and metabolites, thereby elucidating potential relationships and clarifying key pathways regulated by REO. Finally, the expression of relevant proteins in the key pathways was determined through immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. Molecular docking was utilized to investigate the interactions between active components and key targets, thereby validating the experimental results. RESULTS REO alleviated depressive-like behavior, significantly elevated levels of the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and reduced hippocampal neuronal damage in CUMS rats. This therapeutic effect may be associated with the modulation of the serotonergic synapse signaling pathway. Furthermore, REO rectified metabolic disturbances, primarily through the regulation of amino acid metabolic pathways. Joint analysis revealed five differentially expressed genes (EEF1A1, LOC729197, ATP8A2, NDST4, and GAD2), suggesting their potential in alleviating depressive symptoms by modulating the serotonergic synapse signaling pathway and tryptophan metabolism. REO also modulated the 5-HT2A-mediated extracellular regulated protein kinases-cAMP-response element binding protein-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (ERK-CREB-BDNF) pathway. In addition, molecular docking results indicated that citronellol, geraniol and (E,E)-farnesol in REO may serve as key active ingredients responsible for its antidepressant effects. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to report that REO can effectively alleviate CUMS-induced depression-like effects in rats. Additionally, the study offers a comprehensive understanding of its intricate antidepressant mechanism from a multi-omics and multi-level perspective. Our findings hold promise for the clinical application and further development of this essential oil.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) are considered as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacities. However, the relatively low electrical conductivity, large volume variation, and easy aggregation/pulverization of active materials seriously hinder their practical application. Herein, okra-like NiS2/FeS2 particles encapsulated in multichannel N-doped carbon nanofibers (NiS2/FeS2@MCNFs) are fabricated by a coprecipitation, electrospinning, and carbonization/sulfurization strategy. The combined advantages arising from the hollow multichannel structure in carbon skeleton and heterogeneous NiS2/FeS2 particles with rich interfaces can provide facile ion/electron transfer paths, ensure boosted reaction kinetics, and help maintain the structural integrity, thereby resulting in a high reversible capacity (457 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1), excellent rate performance (350 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1), and outstanding long-term cycling stability (93.5% retention after 1100 cycles). This work provides a facile and efficient synthetic strategy to develop TMS-based heterostructured anode materials with high-rate and stable sodium storage properties.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The present study was conducted to explore the role of the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in mouse otic barotrauma models. BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that the NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in the pathogenesis of middle ear disease. However, whether middle ear negative pressure injury underlies NLRP3 inflammasome activation remains unclear. METHODS Wild-type and Nlrp3 -/- mice were randomly assigned to control and pressure injury groups, respectively. Pressure loading was performed using a pressure cabin with the pressure level set to 20 kPa higher than that of the ambient atmosphere. This was achieved in approximately 15 seconds and maintained for 10 minutes. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to detect morphological changes of the middle ear mucosa, tissue IL-1β was measured via an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and cleaved caspase-1 was detected by Western blot. RESULTS We found that the maturation of caspase-1 and IL-1β production in the middle ear significantly increased after otic barotrauma. In Nlrp3 -/- mice, inflammasome activation is downregulated and mucosal hyperplasia is reduced compared with those of wild-type mice during recovery. CONCLUSION The NLRP3 inflammasome likely plays an important role in the pathogenesis of otic barotrauma. Controlling activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome may promote middle ear recovery after negative pressure injury.

Abstract
Obesity is strongly associated with disturbances of vitamin D (VD) metabolites in the animal models. However, the related epidemiological evidence is still controversial, especially the different degrees of obesity children. Hence, in this present representative case-control study, 106 obesity school-age children aged 7-12 years were included and divided into different subgroups as degree I (the age- and sex-specific BMI≥95th percentile, n=45), II (BMI ≥120% percentile, n=34) and III (BMI ≥140% percentile, n=27) obesity groups across the ranges of body mass index (BMI). While the age- and sex-matched subjects without obesity were as the control group. Notably, it was significantly different of body composition, anthropological and clinical characteristics among the above four subgroups with the dose-response relationships (P<.05). Moreover, comparing with the control group, the serum VD concentrations were higher, VD metabolites like 25(OH)D, 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D, and related hydroxylases as CYP27A1, CYP2R1 and CYP27B1 were lower in the degree I, II, and III obesity subgroups (P<.05), which were more disorder with the anthropological and clinical characteristics as the obesity was worsen in a BMI-independent manner (P<.05). However, there was a significant increase of CYP27B1 in the degree III obesity group than those in the degree I and II obesity subgroups. Furthermore, the methylation patterns on the genome-wide (Methylation/Hydroxymethylation) and VD metabolism genes (CYP27A1, CYP2R1 and CYP27B1) were negatively correlated with the worse obesity and their related expressions (P<.05). In summary, these results indicated that obesity could affect the homeostasis of VD metabolism related genes such as CYP27A1, CYP2R1, CYP27B1 and etc through abnormal DNA methylation, resulting in the disorders of VD related metabolites to decrease VD bio-availability with the BMI-independent manner. In turn, the lower levels of VD metabolites would affect the liver function to exacerbate the progression of obesity, as the Degree II and III obesity subgroups.

Abstract
Soil water movement plays vital roles in hillslope runoff generation and groundwater and surface water interaction. However, there are still knowledge gaps about the impacts of soil heterogeneity and preferential flow on the internal water flow and transport process. In this study, the vertical soil heterogeneity focused on the variations in soil retention capacity, and the consideration of lateral preferential flow emphasized the higher hydraulic conductivity. We combined isotopic tracing and numerical modeling in an artificial hillslope, focusing on monitored processes of the artificial rainfall and isotopic tracing experiment. The results showed that the soil moisture quickly accumulated at the bottom of the hillslope during rainfall events, while the 2H enrichment occurred in the topsoil derived from enriched isotope injection in the second artificial rainfall. The evaporation process slowed down the mixing of new water in the topsoil and old water in the lower layer. We found that the vertical soil heterogeneity had significant influences on the internal water and isotope transport paths within the hillslope. The lateral preferential flow played an important role in the water flux and transport time to the seepage face. The coupling of isotopic tracing, which reflects the water transport and mixing with the hillslope, effectively improved the model simulation and mechanism analysis of hillslope water flow. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms governing soil water flow and transport dynamics in hillslopes, taking into account vertical soil heterogeneity and lateral preferential flow.

Abstract
The feasibility of 3D printing the color, aroma and shape changes of yam gel with microwave heating as stimulus and soybean protein isolate-chitosan-maltodextrin complex coacervated microcapsules rich in water-soluble betacyanin and rose essence as stimulus-response materials was discussed. The morphology of microcapsules presented irregular spherical structure, and the surface was relatively smooth and slightly concave. Microwave heating led to the gradual destruction of microcapsules in yam gel, releasing internal pigments and essence, and enhancing the redness and flavor of printed samples. The release of the water phase and oil phase of the microcapsules and the hot-spot expansion effect of the models made the 3D printed bird models bend and deform, realizing the deformation effect of "spreading of wings", which realized a three-response synchronous change in color, shape, and flavor of the printed samples within 45 s. In this study, a variety of 4D printed foods with synchronous changes in sensory characteristics were created, which increased sensory enjoyment on the basis of ensuring the nutritional needs of food.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) has been widely used as a traditional remedy for insomnia, depression and anxiety in China and Western countries. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that rosemary has important applications in neurological disorders. However, the mechanism of action of rosemary hydrosol in the treatment of insomnia is not known. AIMS OF THE STUDY Insomnia is closely linked to anxiety and depression, and its pathogenesis is related to biology, psychology, and sociology. Rosemary is a natural plant that has been used to treat insomnia and depression and has good biological activity, but its material basis and mechanism for the treatment of insomnia are not clear. Here, we report on the role of aqueous extracts of rosemary in the treatment of insomnia. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was based on network pharmacology, using a combination of RNA-sequencing, "quantity-effect" weighting coefficients, and pharmacodynamic experiments. DL-4-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) was intraperitoneally injected into SD rats to replicate the insomnia model with a blank, model, diazepam, and rosemary hydrosol low-, medium-, and high-dose groups were set up for the experiment. The key pathways in the treatment of insomnia with rosemary hydrosol were analyzed by molecular docking, open field assay, ELISA, western-Blot, Rt-PCR, and immunohistochemical assay. RESULTS Rosemary hydrosol was analyzed by GC-MS to identify 19 components. 1579 differential genes were obtained by RNA-Seq analysis, 533 targets for rosemary hydrosol and 2705 targets for insomnia, and 29 key targets were obtained by intersection. The KEGG results were ranked by "quantity-effect" weighting coefficients, resulting in serotonergic synapse was the key pathway for the treatment of insomnia with rosemary hydrosol. Molecular docking results showed that 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1] heptan-2-one, 3-methyl-4-isopropylphenol, caryophyllene, and citronellol of rosemary hydrosol acted synergistically to achieve a therapeutic effect on insomnia. Caryophyllene acts on the HTR1A target by upregulating 5-HT1AR, leading to increased 5-HT release, and upregulation of ADCY5, cAMP, PKA and GABAA at serotonergic synapses; citronellol upregulated ADCY5 and 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1] heptan-2-one, and 3-methyl-4-isopropylphenol up-regulated GABAA to improve insomnia symptoms. In open-field experiments, ELISA kits (5-HT, GABA, and DA), Western-blotting, Rt-PCR and immunohistochemical assay experiments, insomnia rats in the low-, medium- and high-dose groups of rosemary hydrosol showed different degrees of improvement compared with the model group. CONCLUSIONS It was shown that rosemary hydrosol may exert its therapeutic effects on insomnia through serotonergic synapses by combining RNA-Seq, "quantity-effect" weighting coefficients network pharmacology and pharmacodynamic experiments. We have provided a preliminary theoretical study for the development of rosemary hydrosol additive into a beverage for the treatment of insomnia, but it needs to be studied in depth. This study was conducted in rats and the results have limitations and may not apply to humans.

Abstract
PURPOSE Frankincense has been shown in studies to have healing benefits for people with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, its underlying mechanisms have not been fully investigated. The objective of this study was to explore the potential molecular mechanisms of Frankincense essential oil (FREO) in improving dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced UC from multiple perspectives. METHODS The FREO components were analyzed by GC-MS, and the interactions between the key active components and the mechanism of FREO were determined based on RNA-seq, "quantity-effect" weighting coefficient network pharmacology, WGCNA and pharmacodynamic experiments. The protection of FREO against DSS-induced UC mice was assessed by behavioral and pathological changes through mice. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of MAPK and NF-κB-related proteins by the Western Blotting and immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS Treatment with FREO significantly improved the symptoms of weight loss, diarrhea, stool blood, and colon shortening in UC mice. Reduced intestinal mucosal damage and the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration in the colon. Decreased TNF-α and IL-6 levels in mice's serum and inhibited phosphorylation of ERK, p65 in MAPK and NF-κB signaling. CONCLUSION FREO may decrease the inflammatory response to reduce the symptoms of UC by modulating the MAPK/ NF-κB pathway. This may be due to the synergistic interaction of the effective ingredient Hepten-2-yl tiglate, 6-methyl-5-, Isoneocembrene A and P-Cymene. This study provides a promising drug candidate and a new concept for the treatment of UC.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a major causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in children. Nowadays, there are still no effective antiviral drugs for EV71 infection. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is reported to be highly expressed in HFMD patients. However, the role and underlying mechanism of HMGB1 in EV71-associated HFMD are still unclear. HMGB1 expression was detected using RT-qPCR and western blot assays. Loss- and gain-function experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of HMGB1 on EV71-infected cells. The virus titer was examined by TCID50. CCK-8 and flow cytometry assays were applied to detect the cell viability and cell cycle. Oxidative stress was determined by relative commercial kits. HMGB1 level was elevated in the serum of EV71-infected patients with HFMD and EV71-induced RD cells. EV71 infection induced the transfer of HMGB1 from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. HMGB1 knockdown inhibited virus replication, viral protein (VP1) expression and promoted antiviral factor expression. In addition, the inhibition of HMGB1 improved cell viability, protected against S phase arrest, and inhibited EV71-induced cell injury and oxidative stress, whereas HMGB1 overexpression showed the opposite effects. In terms of mechanism, HMGB1 overexpression activated the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway and promoted cell pyroptosis. The inhibition of TLR4 and NF-κB reversed the effects of HMGB1 overexpression on virus replication, oxidative stress, and pyroptosis. In conclusion, HMGB1 knockdown inhibits EV71 replication and attenuates pyroptosis through TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sunitinib (SUN) malate is an oral, multitargeted, tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, imatinib-resistant or imatinib-intolerant gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. SUN has a narrow therapeutic window and high variability in interpatient pharmacokinetic parameters. Clinical detection methods for SUN and N -desethyl SUN limit the application of SUN to therapeutic drug monitoring. All published methods for quantifying SUN in human plasma require strict light protection to avoid light-induced isomerism or the use of additional quantitative software. To avoid these difficult processes in clinical routines, the authors propose a novel method that merges the peaks of the E -isomer and Z -isomer of SUN or N -desethyl SUN into a single peak. METHODS The E -isomer and Z -isomer peaks of SUN or N -desethyl SUN were merged into a single peak by optimizing the mobile phases to decrease the resolution of the isomers. A suitable chromatographic column was selected to obtain a good peak shape. Thereafter, the conventional and single-peak methods (SPM) were simultaneously validated and compared according to the guidelines published by the Food and Drug Administration in 2018 and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia in 2020. RESULTS The verification results showed that the SPM was superior to the conventional method in the matrix effect and met the requirements for biological sample analysis. SPM was then applied to detect the total steady-state concentration of SUN and N -desethyl SUN in tumor patients who received SUN malate. CONCLUSIONS The established SPM makes the detection of SUN and N -desethyl SUN easier and faster without light protection or extra quantitative software, making it more appropriate for routine clinical use. The clinical application results showed that 12 patients took 37.5 mg per day, with a median total trough steady-state concentration of 75.0 ng/mL.

Abstract
Based on the inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, puerarin (PUE) has a good potential to reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). However, the lack of targeting of free PUE makes it difficult to reach the mitochondria. In this paper, we constructed matrix metalloproteinase-targeting peptide (MMP-TP) and triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation co-modified liposomes loaded with PUE (PUE@T/M-L) for mitochondria-targeted drug delivery. PUE@T/M-L had a favorable particle size of 144.9 ± 0.8 nm, an encapsulation efficiency of 78.9 ± 0.6%, and a sustained-release behavior. The results of cytofluorimetric experiments showed that MMP-TP and TPP double-modified liposomes (T/M-L) enhanced intracellular uptake, escaped lysosomal capture, and promoted drug targeting into mitochondria. In addition, PUE@T/M-L enhanced the viability of hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injured H9c2 cells by inhibiting mPTP opening and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reducing Bax expression and increasing Bcl-2 expression. It was inferred that PUE@T/M-L delivered PUE into the mitochondria of H/R injured H9c2 cells, resulting in a significant increase in cellular potency. Based on the ability of MMP-TP to bind the elevated expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), T/M-L had excellent tropism for Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -stimulated macrophages and can significantly reduce TNF-α and ROS levels, thus allowing both drug accumulation in ischemic cardiomyocytes and reducing inflammatory stimulation during MI/RI. Fluorescence imaging results of the targeting effect using a DiR probe also indicated that DiR@T/M-L could accumulate and retain in the ischemic myocardium. Taken together, these results demonstrated the promising application of PUE@T/M-L for mitochondria-targeted drug delivery to achieve maximum therapeutic efficacy of PUE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metaplastic breast cancer(MBC) is a specific pathological type of invasive breast cancer. There are few studies related to MBC due to its rarity. This study aimed to analyse the differences in clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis between Metaplastic breast cancer and triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma (TN-IDC). METHODS We retrospectively compared the clinicopathological characteristics of patients diagnosed with MBC and TN-IDC at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between 2011 and 2020 in a 1:2 ratio. The log-rank test was used to compare the two groups' disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). For MBCs, we performed univariate and multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazards model to determine the characteristics that impacted OS and DFS. RESULTS A total of 81 patients with MBC and 162 patients with TN-IDC were included in this study. At initial diagnosis, MBC patients had larger tumour diameters(P = 0.03) and fewer positive lymph nodes (P = 0.04). Patients with MBC were more likely to have organ metastases after surgery (P = 0.03). Despite receiving the same treatment, MBC patients had worse DFS (HR = 1.66, 95%CI 0.90-3.08, P = 0.11) and OS (HR = 1.98, 95% CI 1.03-3.81, P = 0.04), and OS was statistically significant. Positive lymph nodes at initial diagnosis were associated with worse DFS (HR = 3.98, 95%CI 1.05-15.12, P = 0.04) and OS (HR = 3.70, 95%CI 1.03-13.34, P = 0.04) for patients with MBC. The efficacy of platinum-based agents is insensitive for MBC patients receiving chemotherapy. In addition, patients treated with preoperative chemotherapy had worse DFS compared to patients treated with postoperative chemotherapy (HR = 3.51, 95%CI 1.05-11.75, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS The clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of MBC and TN-IDC differ in many ways. Further studies are required to determine suitable treatment guidelines for patients with MBC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) There has been emerging interest in the role of ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy for high-risk prostate cancer, especially given its low α/β ratio. However, there is limited data on the long-term outcomes of this treatment strategy. The FASTR and FASTR-2 clinical trials were designed to assess the tolerability of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) in high-risk prostate cancer. FASTR was discontinued early due to unacceptable acute toxicity, whereas the acute toxicities in FASTR-2 were minimal. Herein, the long-term results from these trials are reported. MATERIALS/METHODS Eligible patients had at least 1 high-risk feature as per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria for high-risk prostate cancer, no evidence of metastatic disease, and either a score of 3+ on the Vulnerable Elderly Scale or declined standard therapy. A total of 19 patients from a single institution were enrolled on FASTR between 2011 and 2015. They received 40 Gy to the prostate and 25 Gy to the pelvic lymph nodes in 5 fractions delivered once weekly for 5 weeks, along with 1 year of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The excessive acute toxicity in FASTR prompted several modifications in FASTR-2, including the omission of nodal irradiation. A total of 30 patients from the same institution were enrolled on FASTR-2 between 2015 and 2017. They received 35 Gy to the prostate alone in 5 fractions delivered once weekly for 5 weeks, along with 18 months of ADT. RESULTS A total of 44 patients were eligible for analysis, 16 from FASTR and 28 from FASTR-2. Most patients were >70 years old (77%). High-risk features included Gleason score ≥8 (46%), T3-T4 disease (27%) and baseline PSA >20 (50%). With a median follow-up of 6.4 years, the cumulative incidence of grade ≥3 genitourinary/gastrointestinal toxicity was 50% among FASTR patients and 7% among FASTR-2 patients. At 5 years, the combined rates of biochemical failure-free survival, freedom from distant metastases, prostate cancer-specific survival and overall survival were 72%, 90%, 92% and 83%, respectively. A total of 12 patients (27%) required further treatment. No significant differences in clinical outcomes were noted between the FASTR and FASTR-2 cohorts. CONCLUSION SABR for high-risk prostate cancer is an attractive option for reducing treatment burden. Clinical outcomes and toxicity with the FASTR-2 protocol were comparable to conventionally-fractionated radiotherapy plus ADT. Larger prospective, randomized trials exploring the role of SABR with ADT in high-risk disease are necessary to better understand the efficacy and tolerability of this approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to create a cleaning procedure by comparing the performance of six different cleaning methods on the surfaces in pharmacy intravenous admixture service (PIVAS) work area. METHOD A stainless steel plate was simulating contaminated by gemcitabine, cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, etoposide, and paclitaxel, which was then dried and cleaned by per current cleaning protocols. The residues were collected and quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Based on the most appropriate cleaning protocol, three cleaning variables were optimized: (1) use of dry gauze after cleaning agent application; (2) cleaning paths (inside-out vs. outside-in); (3) cleaning times (once or twice). Best conditions were tested with real samples from a hospital PIVAS. RESULTS This 10-2 M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dry gauze cleaning protocol increases cleaning efficiency as well as saves time. Different from the traditional cleaning manner, we found that cleaning from outside to inside can not only improve the cleaning efficiency but also overcome the uneven distribution of drug residues caused by cleaning action. When simulating contamination at a high dose (4 mg/mL) level, it was found that the decontamination efficacy increased with repeating one more time. CONCLUSION The 10-2 M SDS and dry gauze cleaning protocol could obtain the best cleaning effect. The success of cytotoxic drug decontamination is determined not only by the cleaning solution, but also by the cleaning route and frequency. Compared with the traditional cleaning manner, there was a significant reduction in the contamination levels in the PIVAS work area after the cleaning protocol with 10-2 M SDS and dry gauze.

Abstract
With the aggravation of the global aging process, more and more elderly people are facing the problem of dysphagia. The advantages of three-dimensional (3D) printing in making chewy food are increasingly prominent. In this study, the two-nozzle 3D printer was used to explore the effects of different proportions of buckwheat flour, printing filling ratio, microwave power, and time on the quality of bean-paste buns. The results showed that the bean paste filling containing 6% buckwheat flour had the best antioxidant and sensory properties. When the filling ratio was 21.6%, the microwave power was 560 W, and the time was 4 min, the obtained sample was the most satisfactory. Compared with the microwave-treated and steamed traditional samples, the chewiness of the samples was reduced by 52.43% and 15.14%, respectively, and the final product was easier to chew and swallow.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) had important roles in the treatment of relapse or refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Treatment of refractory disease after BV and -/or ICIs remains a challenge. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for R/R HL after failure to BV or ICIs. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients in two institutions with R/R HL who had failed after first-line therapy, and were refractory to BV or ICIs, and received radiotherapy (RT) thereafter. The overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 19 patients were enrolled. First-line systemic therapy consisted of ABVD (84.2%), AVD + ICIs (10.5%) and BEACOPP (5.3%), respectively. After first-line therapy, 15 patients (78.9%) were refractory, and 4 patients (21.1%) relapsed. After diagnosis of R/R HL, 8 patients (42.1%) received BV, and 17 patients (89.5%) received ICIs. RT was delivered in all 19 patients who failed after BV or ICIs. In 16 efficacy-evaluable patients, the ORR and CR rate were 100% and 100%. The median DOR was 17.2 months (range, 7.9 to 46.7 months). 3 patients progressed at outside of the radiation field. The in-field-response rate was 100%. The 12-month PFS and OS were 84.4% and 100%, respectively. No patients were reported with sever adverse events. CONCLUSION This study concluded that radiotherapy was effective and safe for refractory HL after BV or ICIs. Further prospective studies were warranted.

Abstract
Background Currently, it remains unclear regarding the association between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the efficacy of postoperative radiotherapy in primary tumors. Here we attempted to investigate the effect of TILs depending on the presence of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) on the prognosis in pT1-2N1M0 breast cancer. Methods The clinical data of pT1-2N1M0 breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were retrospectively analyzed. The effect of TILs on the prognosis was assessed based on the infiltration degree (low: TILs ≤10%, high: TILs >10%), and then the prognosis of patients with low and high infiltration of TILs was analyzed based on presence or absence of PMRT. Results Totally 213 patients were eligible for the study, including 162 cases of low infiltration and 51 of high infiltration. High-infiltration patients tended to be ER/PR-negative, HER2-positive, and have high histological grade. The infiltration in triple-negative and HER2-positive subtypes was higher compared with Luminal A subtype. Regarding local-regional recurrence-free survival, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival (OS) rates, the differences were all inapparent whether in high- and low-infiltration patients or in high-infiltration patients with/without PMRT. Compared with those without PMRT, low-infiltration patients with PMRT showed a significantly increased OS rate (92.8% vs. 80.0%, p=0.023). Multivariate analysis further confirmed PMRT as an independent predicator of OS in low-infiltration patients (HR: 0.228, 95%CI: 0.081-0.644, p=0.005). Conclusion High infiltration of TILs in pT1-2N1M0 breast cancer may be associated with clinicopathological factors. Low-infiltration patients, but not high-infiltration patients, may derive survival benefits from PMRT.

Abstract
Sodium nitrite is commonly used as a multifunctional curing ingredient in the processing of prepared dishes, especially meat products, to impart unique color, flavor and to prolong the shelf life of such products. However, the use of sodium nitrite in the meat industry has been controversial due to potential health risks. Finding suitable substitutes for sodium nitrite and controlling nitrite residue have been a major challenge faced by the meat processing industry. This paper summarizes possible factors affecting the variation of nitrite content in the processing of prepared dishes. New strategies for controlling nitrite residues in meat dishes, including natural pre-converted nitrite, plant extracts, irradiation, non-thermal plasma and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), are discussed in detail. The advantages and limitations of these strategies are also summarized. Raw materials, cooking techniques, packaging methods, and storage conditions all affect the content of nitrite in the prepared dishes. The use of vegetable pre-conversion nitrite and the addition of plant extracts can help reduce nitrite residues in meat products and meet the consumer demand for clean labeled meat products. Atmospheric pressure plasma, as a non-thermal pasteurization and curing process, is a promising meat processing technology. HHP has good bactericidal effect and is suitable for hurdle technology to limit the amount of sodium nitrite added. This review is intended to provide insights for the control of nitrite in the modern production of prepared dishes.

Abstract
The flat peach is a high economic value table fruit possessing excellent quality and a unique aroma. This article investigated the quality characteristics and aroma fingerprinting of flat peaches (Qingpan, QP; Ruipan 2, R2; Ruipan 4, R4; Wanpan, WP) from Xinjiang in terms of taste, antioxidant capacity, and volatile aroma compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and HS-SPME-GC-MS. The results showed that the flat peaches had a good taste and high antioxidant capacity, mainly due to the high sugar-low acid property and high levels of phenolic compounds. This study found that sucrose (63.86~73.86%) was the main sugar, and malic acid (5.93~14.96%) and quinic acid (5.25~15.01%) were the main organic acids. Furthermore, chlorogenic acid (main phenolic compound), epicatechin, rutin, catechin, proanthocyanidin B1, and neochlorogenic acid were positively related to the antioxidant activity of flat peaches. All flat peaches had similar aroma characteristics and were rich in aromatic content. Aldehydes (especially benzaldehyde and 2-hexenal) and esters were the main volatile compounds. The aroma fingerprinting of flat peaches consisted of hexanal, 2-hexenal, nonanal, decanal, benzaldehyde, 2,4-decadienal, dihydro-β-ionone, 6-pentylpyran-2-one, 2-hexenyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, γ-decalactone, and theaspirane, with a "peach-like", "fruit", and "coconut-like" aroma. Among them, 2,4-decadienal, 2-hexenyl acetate, and theaspirane were the characteristic aroma compounds of flat peaches. The results provide a theoretical basis for the industrial application of the special aroma of flat peaches.

Abstract
Iron sulfides are widely explored as anodes of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to high theoretical capacities and low cost, but their practical application is still impeded by poor rate capability and fast capacity decay. Herein, for the first time, we construct highly dispersed Fe7S8 nanoparticles anchored on a porous N-doped carbon nanosheet (CN) skeleton (denoted as Fe7S8/NC) with high conductivity and numerous active sites via facile ion adsorption and thermal evaporation combined procedures coupled with a gas sulfurization treatment. Nanoscale design coupled with a conductive carbon skeleton can simultaneously mitigate the above obstacles to obtain enhanced structural stability and faster electrode reaction kinetics. With the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the synergistic interaction between CNs and Fe7S8 can not only ensure enhanced Na+ adsorption ability but also promote the charge transfer kinetics of the Fe7S8/NC electrode. Accordingly, the designed Fe7S8/NC electrode exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance with superior high-rate capability (451.4 mAh g-1 at 6 A g-1) and excellent long-term cycling stability (508.5 mAh g-1 over 1000 cycles at 4 A g-1) due to effectively alleviated volumetric variation, accelerated charge transfer kinetics, and strengthened structural integrity. Our work provides a feasible and effective design strategy toward the low-cost and scalable production of high-performance metal sulfide anode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Microwave heating acts as an environmental stimulus factor to induce rapid shape changes in 4D-printed stereoscopic models over time. The influence of microwave power and model structure on the shape change behavior was explored, and the applicability of the deformed method to other vegetable-based gels was verified. The results described that the G', G″, η, and proportion of bound water of yam gels increased with the increase in yam powder content, and the yam gel with 40% content had the best printing effect. The IR thermal maps showed the microwaves first gathered in the designed gully region caused the swelling phenomenon, which induced the printed sample to undergo a bird-inspired "spreading of wings" process within 30 s. Increasing the microwave power and microwave heating time were able to increase the bending angles and dehydration rates of the printed samples, thus improving the deformed degree and deformed speed. Different model base thicknesses (4, 6, 8, and 10 mm) also had significant effects on the shape change of the printed structures. The efficiency of the shape changes of 4D-printed structures under microwave induction can be judged by studying the dielectric properties of the materials. In addition, the deformed behaviors of other vegetable gels (pumpkin and spinach) verified the applicability of the 4D deformed method. This study aimed to create 4D-printed food with personalized and rapid shape change behavior, providing a basis for the application scenarios of 4D-printed food.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymyxin B is the first-line therapy for Carbapenem-resistant organism (CRO) nosocomial pneumonia. However, clinical data for its pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship are limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between polymyxin B exposure and efficacy for the treatment of CRO pneumonia in critically ill patients, and to optimize the individual dosing regimens. METHODS Patients treated with polymyxin B for CRO pneumonia were enrolled. Blood samples were assayed using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Population PK analysis and Monte Carlo simulation were performed using Phoenix NLME software. Logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were employed to identify the significant predictors and PK/PD indices of polymyxin B efficacy. RESULTS A total of 105 patients were included, and the population PK model was developed based on 295 plasma concentrations. AUCss,24 h/MIC (AOR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.95-0.99, p = 0.009), daily dose (AOR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, p = 0.028), and combination of inhaled polymyxin B (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI 0.11-0.94, p = 0.039) were independent risk factors for polymyxin B efficacy. ROC curve showed that AUCss,24 h/MIC is the most predictive PK/PD index of polymyxin B for the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia caused by CRO, and the optimal cutoff point value was 66.9 in patients receiving combination therapy with another antimicrobial. Model-based simulation suggests that the maintaining daily dose of 75 and 100 mg Q12 h could achieve ≥ 90% PTA of this clinical target at MIC values ≤ 0.5 and 1 mg/L, respectively. For patients unable to achieve the target concentration by intravenous administration, adjunctive inhalation of polymyxin B would be beneficial. CONCLUSIONS For CRO pneumonia, daily dose of 75 and 100 mg Q12 h was recommended for clinical efficacy. Inhalation of polymyxin B is beneficial for patients who cannot achieve the target concentration by intravenous administration.

Abstract
The design of experiments (DoE) method was employed to optimize the adsorption processes of seven psychoactive substances in magnetic solid phase extraction. Fe3O4/GO/ZIF-8 was utilized as an adsorbent for the efficient extraction of psychoactive substances from environmental water samples. The analytes were ephedrine, methylephedrine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, morphine, papaverine, and thebaine, which were determined by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Plackett-Burman design was employed to identify the significant factors responsible for adsorption, and Box-Behnken design was used for further optimization to obtain the optimum values for each variable. The predicted and experimental values were found to be in good agreement. The coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.9500-0.9976 indicated that the model was significant. The linear ranges were 1-100 ng mL-1, and the correlation coefficient was good (r2 ≥ 0.995). The EF with values of about 2.5 was obtained with recoveries in the range of 74.92-94.47%. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.086-0.353 ng mL-1 and 0.286-1.175 ng mL-1, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day RSDs were in the range of 0.17-1.87% and 0.06-2.21%, respectively. By using the DoE method, the errors associated with inferring the influence and interaction between various factors can be reduced. The combination of MSPE and DoE improves the recovery, precision, and simultaneous detectability of the target analytes. It has a high potential for psychoactive substance analysis in environmental water.

Abstract
Background:
The prediction of the drug-induced liver injury (DILI) of chemicals is still a key issue of the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that needs to be solved urgently in drug development. The development of a novel method with good predictive capability and strong mechanism interpretation is still a focus topic in exploring the DILI.

The prediction of the drug-induced liver injury (DILI) of chemicals is still a key issue of the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that needs to be solved urgently in drug development. The development of novel method with good predictive capability and strong mechanism interpretation is still a focus topic in exploring the DILI.
Objective:
With the help of systems biology and network analysis techniques, a class of descriptors that can reflect the influence of drug targets in the pathogenesis of DILI is established. Then a machine learning model with good predictive capability and strong mechanism interpretation is developed between these descriptors and the toxicity of DILI.
Methods:
After overlapping the DILI disease module and the drug-target network, we developed novel descriptors according to the number of drug genes with different network overlapped distance parameters. The hepatotoxicity of drugs is predicted based on these novel descriptors and the classical molecular descriptors. Then the DILI mechanism interpretations of drugs are carried out with important network topological descriptors in the prediction model.
method:
After overlapping the DILI disease module and the drug-target network, we developed novel descriptors according to the number of drug genes with different network overlapped distance parameters. The hepatotoxicity of drugs is predicted based on these novel descriptors and the classical molecular descriptors. Then the DILI mechanism interpretations of drugs are carried out with important network topological descriptors in the prediction model.
Results:
First, we collected targets of drugs and DILI-related genes and developed 5 NT parameters (S, Nds=0, Nds=1, Nds=2, and Nds>2) based on their relationship with a DILI disease module. Then hepatotoxicity predicting models were established between the above NT parameters combined with molecular descriptors and drugs through the machine learning algorithms. We found that the NT parameters had a significant contribution in the model (ACCtraining set=0.71, AUCtraining set=0.76; ACCexternal set=0.79, AUCexternal set=0.83) developed by these descriptors within the applicability domain, especially for Nds=2, and Nds>2. Then, the DILI mechanism of acetaminophen (APAP) and gefitinib are explored based on their risk genes related to ds=2. There are 26 DILI risk genes in the regulation of cell death regulated with two steps by 5 APAP targets, and gefitinib regulated risk gene of CLDN1, EIF2B4, and AMIGO1 with two steps led to DILI which fell in the biological process of response to oxygen-containing compound, indicating that different drugs possibly induced liver injury through regulating different biological functions.
Conclusion:
A novel method based on network strategies and machine learning algorithms successfully explored the DILI of drugs. The NT parameters had shown advantages in illustrating the DILI mechanism of chemicals according to the relationships between the drug targets and the DILI risk genes in the human interactome. It can provide a novel candidate of molecular descriptors for the predictions of other ADRs or even of the predictions of ADME/T activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have linked gut microbiota with cancer etiology, but the associations for specific gut microbiota are causal or owing to bias remain to be elucidated. METHODS We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess the causal effect of gut microbiota on cancer risk. Five common cancers, including breast, endometrial, lung, ovarian, and prostate cancer as well as their subtypes (sample sizes ranging from 27,209 to 228,951) were included as the outcomes. Genetic information for gut microbiota was obtained from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) comprising 18,340 participants. In univariable MR (UVMR) analysis, the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was conducted as the primary method, with the robust adjusted profile scores, weighted median, and MR Egger used as supplementary methods for causal inference. Sensitivity analyses including the Cochran Q test, Egger intercept test, and leave-one-out analysis were performed to verify the robustness of the MR results. Multivariable MR (MVMR) was performed to evaluate the direct causal effects of gut microbiota on the risk of cancers. RESULTS UVMR detected a higher abundance of genus Sellimonas predicted a higher risk of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer (OR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.05-1.14, p = 2.01 × 10-5 ), and a higher abundance of class Alphaproteobacteria was associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer (OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.75-0.93, p = 1.11 × 10-3 ). Sensitivity analysis found little evidence of bias in the current study. MVMR further confirmed that genus Sellimonas exerted a direct effect on breast cancer, while the effect of class Alphaproteobacteria on prostate cancer was driven by the common risk factors of prostate cancer. CONCLUSION Our study implies the involvement of gut microbiota in cancer development, which provides a novel potential target for cancer screening and prevention, and might have an implication for future functional analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of SINC, a secreted protein of Chlamydia psittaci, on autophagy of host cells and the role of MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in mediating SINC-induced autophagy. METHODS RAW 264.7 cells treated with recombinant SINC were examined for changes in expression levels of LC3-II, Beclin-1, phosphorylated and total ERK1/2 using Western blotting. The expression level of LC3 in the treated cells was detected using immunofluorescence analysis, and the formation of autophagosomes and autolysosomes was observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of pretreatment with U0126 (a specific ERK inhibitor) on the expression levels of LC3-II and Beclin-1 in RAW 264.7 cells exposed to different concentrations of SINC was examined using Western blotting, and LC3 puncta in the cells was detected with immunofluorescence analysis. RESULTS The expression levels of LC3-II and Beclin-1 were the highest in RAW 264.7 cells treated with 2 μg/mL SINC for 12h. Immunofluorescence analysis showed exposure to SINC significantly increased the number of cells containing LC3 puncta, where the presence of autophagosomes and autolysosomes was detected. Exposure to 2 μg/mL SINC for 15 min resulted in the most significant increase of the ratios of p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 in RAW 264.7 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with U0126 prior to SINC exposure significantly decreased the ratio of p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2, lowered the expression levels of LC3-II and Beclin-1, and decreased LC3 aggregation in the cells. CONCLUSIONS SINC exposure can induce autophagy in RAW 264.7 cells by activating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of posterior longitudinal ligament ossification (OPLL) remains inadequately understood. Mechanical stimulation is one of the important pathogenic factors in OPLL. As one of the mechanical stimulation transduction signals, the yes-associated protein (YAP) interacts with the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, which plays an important role in osteogenic differentiation. This study aimed to demonstrate the role of YAP-Wnt/β-catenin axis in cell differentiation induced by mechanical stress. Primary cells extracted from posterior longitudinal ligament tissues from OPLL or non-OPLL patients were subjected to sinusoidal uniaxial cyclic stretch (5 %, 0.5 Hz, 3 d). The expression of runt-related transcription factor 2, collagen I, osterix, osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase were compared between the static and the experimental groups. In addition, the cytoskeleton was detected using phalloidin staining while YAP phosphorylation states and nuclear location were identified using immunofluorescence. The results showed that mechanical stretching loading increased the expression of osteogenic genes and proteins in the OPLL group, while it had no significant effect on the control group. When OPLL cells were stretched, YAP exhibited an obvious nuclear translocation and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway was activated. Knocking down YAP or β-catenin could weaken the impact upon osteogenic differentiation induced by mechanical stimulation. YAP-mediated mechanical stimulation promoted osteogenic differentiation of OPLL cells through Wnt/β-catenin pathway and this progress was independent of the Hippo pathway.

Abstract
Background Although tigecycline is an effective drug against drug-resistant bacteria, it demonstrated a higher all-cause mortality than comparator antibiotics and a high incidence of coagulation disorders which can be accompanied by severe bleeding. At present, a predictive model for tigecycline-related coagulopathy is not readily available, and the prognostic value of coagulopathy in tigecycline-administered patients has not been elucidated. In this paper, we investigate the association between tigecycline-related coagulopathy and in-hospital mortality to develop a nomogram for the prediction of tigecycline-related coagulopathy. Methods This retrospective cohort study includes 311 adults prescribed with tigecycline from 2018 to 2020. The primary cohort and validation cohort were constructed by dividing the participants in a ratio of 7:3. The endpoint is tigecycline-related coagulopathy, defined as a condition with no abnormality in coagulation prior to tigecycline application but developed the following symptoms upon prescription: activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) extended by >10 s than the upper limit of normal (ULN), prothrombin time (PT) prolonged for >3 s than the ULN or reduced serum level of fibrinogen to <2.0 g/L. A predictive nomogram based on logistic regression was subsequently constructed. Results Tigecycline intake for over 7 days, combined other antibiotics, initial PT, initial fibrinogen and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), are independent prognostic factors of tigecycline-related coagulopathy. The primary and validation cohort each has an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.792 (0.732-0.851) and 0.730 (0.629-0.832) for nomogram, respectively. Furthermore, the fitted calibration curve illustrated adequate fit of the model, while the decision curve analysis demonstrated good clinical value. Survival curves showed a high mortality rate among patients with tigecycline-related coagulopathy. Conclusion This nomogram exhibited helpful clinical value in predicting tigecycline-related coagulopathy that could reduce the high mortality rate of patients prescribed with tigecycline.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the dominant metabolic enzymes of six effective components (astragaloside IV, glycyrrhizic acid, calycosin-glucuronide, formononetin, ononin, calycosin-7-O-β-D- glucoside) of Huangqi Liuyi decoction extract (HQD). Methods: Mouse liver microsomes were prepared. The effects of specific inhibitors of CYP450 enzymes on the metabolism of six effective components of HQD were studied using liver microsomal incubation in vitro. Results: The chemical inhibitors of CYP2C37 inhibit the metabolism of glycyrrhizic acid and astragaloside IV. Formononetin and astragaloside IV metabolism is inhibited by the chemical inhibitors of CYP2C11. The chemical inhibitors of CYP2E1 and CYP1A2 inhibit the metabolism of calycosin-glucuronide. Chemical CYP3A11 inhibitors prevent formononetin and glycyrrhizic acid from being metabolized. However, no inhibitor significantly affected the metabolism of ononin and calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside. Conclusion: CYP2C37 may be involved in the metabolism of astragaloside IV and glycyrrhizic acid, the metabolism of astragaloside IV and formononetin may be related to CYP2C11, the metabolism of calycosin-glucuronide may be related to CYP1A2 and CYP2E1, and CYP3A11 may be involved in the metabolism of glycyrrhizic acid and formononetin. This research provides an experimental basis for exploring the pharmacokinetic differences caused by metabolic enzymes.

Abstract
The effects of folic acid on body weight gain in obesity and gut microbiota-associated branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and mitochondrial function were investigated. Three- to four-wk-old male C57BL/6J conventional (CV) and germ-free (GF) mice were fed a high-fat diet (HD), folic acid-supplemented HD (FSHD) and a normal-fat diet (ND) for 25 wk. In CV mice, the HD-induced increases in body weight and plasma BCAA concentrations, downregulated expression of genes related to BCAA catabolism (Bcat2, Bckdha, or Ppm1k), mitochondrial biogenesis (Pgc-1α, Cox1, Nd1 or Nd6), fusion (Mfn1, Mfn2 or Opa1) and mitophagy (Pink1 or Park2), and upregulated expression of the fission-associated gene Drp1 in epididymal fat were reversely corrected with FSHD feeding. In contrast, the expression of these genes in the liver was the opposite under HD feeding or folic acid supplementation. In GF mice, plasma BCAA concentrations were much less affected by HD feeding and were reduced by FSHD feeding, with almost no alterations in the expression of genes associated with BCAA catabolism and mitochondrial function. Further analysis indicated a correlation between adipose and hepatic Mt C/N and plasma BCAA concentrations, and the latter had a close association with specific gut bacteria. Therefore, dietary folic acid supplementation differentially affected body weight gain, BCAA catabolism, and mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism under HD feeding between CV and GF mice, suggesting that gut bacteria-altered BCAAs and mitochondria might partially share the responsibility for the beneficial effects of dietary folic acid on obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). METHODS A meta-analysis was performed on relevant cohort or case-control studies retrieved by a literature search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid, and Web of Science databases. Hazard ratio (HR) was used to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), and the odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, including age, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis status, distant metastasis status, TNM staging, and histological grade. RESULTS Nine studies were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with TNBC patients, the HRs for 5-year DFS and 5-year OS of those with MBC were 1.64 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36 - 1.98; P < .001) and 1.52 (95% CI 1.27 - 1.81; P < .001), respectively. The OR for age ≥ 50 years, tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm, lymph node-negative, distant metastasis, TNM stage III and IV, and histological grade 3 was 1.63 (95% CI 1.45-1.84), 0.29 (95% CI 0.14-0.58), 1.46 (95% CI 1.13-1.88), 1.59 (95% CI 0.89-2.81), 1.49 (95% CI 0.80-2.77), and 2.25 (95% CI 0.85-5.97), respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with MBC had worse prognosis than those with TNBC. Furthermore, regarding clinicopathological characteristics, patients with MBC mostly presented at ≥ 50 years of age, with tumor diameter > 5 cm, and negative lymph nodes at first diagnosis. Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences in the occurrence of distant metastasis, TNM stages III and IV, or histological grade 3. MBC treatment was not assessed in this study. Data from randomized controlled trials are needed to guide the treatment of patients with MBC.

Abstract
Background The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the fatty acid desaturases and elongases might associate with the endogenous synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). However, the related epidemiological evidence is still conflicting. So we aimed to clearly evaluate the interactions between maternal DHA-rich n-3 PUFAs supplementation and the known 26 SNPs on the profiles of PUFAs in the colostrum using a Chinese birth cohort. Methods Totally, 1050 healthy mother-infant pairs were enrolled in this study at gestational 6–8 weeks when they established their pregnancy files at Fuxing Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University in Beijing from January to December 2018. Meanwhile, their venous blood samples were obtained for DNA extraction to detect the genotypes of SNPs in the Fads1, Fads2, Fads3, Elovl2 and Elovl5 using the Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry. Then the colostrum samples were collected to determine the profiles of PUFAs by gas chromatography. Results Maternal DHA-rich n-3 PUFAs supplementation from the early and middle pregnancy could reduce the infant BMI at birth, and impact the profiles of PUFAs in the colostrum, as higher n-3 PUFAs (EPA, DHA, DHA/ALA and DHA/EPA), lower n-6 PUFAs (AA and AA/LA) and ∑-6/n-3ΣPUFAs. Moreover, there were significant correlations between multiple SNPs and the profiles of n-6 PUFAs (rs76996928 for LA, rs174550, rs174553 and rs174609 for AA, rs174550 and rs76996928 for AA/LA) and n-3 PUFAs in the colostrum (rs174448, rs174537, rs174550, rs174553, rs174598, rs3168072, rs174455 and rs174464 for ALA, rs174550, rs174553 and rs174598 for EPA, rs174455 and rs174464 for DHA, rs174448 and rs3168072 for DHA/EPA) using the multiple linear regressions by adjusting the maternal age, gestational week, mode of delivery, infant sex and BMI at birth, and all these above significant SNPs had the cumulative effects on the profiles of PUFAs. Furthermore, the pairwise comparisons also showed the meaningful interactions between maternal DHA-rich n-3 PUFAs supplementation and related genotypes of SNPs (rs76996928 for LA, rs174598 for EPA, rs174448 for DHA and DHA/EPA) on the contents of PUFAs in the colostrum. Conclusions Results from this birth cohort study proved that the pregnant women with the following SNPs such as Fads3 rs174455 T, Fads3 rs174464 A and Fads1 rs174448 G alleles should pay more attention on their exogenous DHA supplementation from the early and middle pregnancy for the blocked endogenous synthesis.

Abstract
Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables are healthy and convenient ready-to-eat foods, and the final quality is related to the raw materials and each step of the cutting unit. It is necessary to integrate suitable intelligent detection technologies into the production chain so as to inspect each operation to ensure high product quality. In this paper, several imaging technologies that can be applied online to the processing of fresh-cut products are reviewed, including: multispectral/hyperspectral imaging (M/HSI), fluorescence imaging (FI), X-ray imaging (XRI), ultrasonic imaging, thermal imaging (TI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), terahertz imaging, and microwave imaging (MWI). The principles, advantages, and limitations of these imaging technologies are critically summarized. The potential applications of these technologies in online quality control and detection during the fresh-cut processing are comprehensively discussed, including quality of raw materials, contamination of cutting equipment, foreign bodies mixed in the processing, browning and microorganisms of the cutting surface, quality/shelf-life evaluation, and so on. Finally, the challenges and future application prospects of imaging technology in industrialization are presented.

Abstract
In modern ecosystems, the carbon stable isotope (δ13 C) ratios of consumers generally conform to the principle "you are what you eat, +1‰." However, this metric may not apply to microbial mat systems where diverse communities, using a variety of carbon substrates via multiple assimilation pathways, live in close physical association and phagocytosis is minimal or absent. To interpret the δ13 C record of the Proterozoic and early Paleozoic, when mat-based productivity likely was widespread, it is necessary to understand how a microbially driven producer-consumer structure affects the δ13 C compositions of biomass and preservable lipids. Protein Stable Isotope Fingerprinting (P-SIF) is a recently developed method that allows measurement of the δ13 C values of whole proteins, separated from environmental samples and identified taxonomically via proteomics. Here, we use P-SIF to determine the trophic relationships in a microbial mat sample from Chocolate Pots Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park (YNP), USA. In this mat, proteins from heterotrophic bacteria are indistinguishable from cyanobacterial proteins, indicating that "you are what you eat, +1‰" is not applicable. To explain this finding, we hypothesize that sugar production and consumption dominate the net ecosystem metabolism, yielding a community in which producers and consumers share primary photosynthate as a common resource. This idea was validated by confirming that glucose moieties in exopolysaccharide were equal in δ13 C composition to both cyanobacterial and heterotrophic proteins, and by confirming that highly 13 C-depleted fatty acids (FAs) of Cyanobacteria dominate the lipid pool, consistent with flux-balance expectations for systems that overproduce primary photosynthate. Overall, the results confirm that the δ13 C composition of microbial biomass and lipids is tied to specific metabolites, rather than to autotrophy versus heterotrophy or to individual trophic levels. Therefore, we suggest that aerobic microbial heterotrophy is simply a case of "you are what you eat."

Abstract
Objective: Our study aims to summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics of transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia (HTGTI) and variants in the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1) gene and the effect of HTGTI on the protein structure of GPD1.Methods: Retrospective analysis, using the general data, symptoms, signs, and auxiliary examinations, was performed on patients with HTGTI, which were confirmed by genetic testing in our hospital and reported cases online. The clinical data were analyzed using statistical and bioinformatic approaches.Results: A total of 31 genetically confirmed HTGTI patients were collected from our hospital and cases reported in the literature. The clinical manifestations showed the median age of onset was 6.0 (1.9, 12.0) months. All the patients had normal psychiatric status, but 22.6% of them presented growth retardation and short stature, 93.5% had hepatomegaly, and 16.1% had splenomegaly. Just a few children were reported with jaundice, cholestasis, and obesity (3.2–6.5%). The laboratory investigations showed that 96.8% of them had hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) with a median level of 3.1 (2.1, 5.5) mmol/L, but only 30.0% had returned to normal during follow-up. In addition, 93.5% of patients had elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) with an average level of 92.1 ± 43.5 U/L, while 38.7% had hypercholesterolemia. Upon abdominal imaging, all patients presented fatty liver and liver steatosis, with 66.7% of patients showing hepatic fibrosis. Statistical differences in triglyceride (TG) level were observed in the ≤6 months group compared with the older groups and in the 13 months to 6 years group with >6 years group (H = 22.02, P < 0.05). The restricted cubic spline model showed that severe HTG decreased in the early stage of infants to the normal level; however, it rebounded again to a mild or moderate level after the following days. The genetic test revealed that the main variant types of the GPD1 gene were missense variants (51.6%), followed by splicing variants (35.5%) and nonsense variants (12.9%). Of patients, 87.1% had homozygous variants, with the most frequent loci being c.361-1G > C and c.895G > A.Conclusion: The common manifestations of HTGTI were HTG, hepatomegaly, elevated liver transaminases, and hepatic steatosis in early infancy. However, the recurrence of aberrant HTG may pose long-term detrimental effects on HTGTI patients.

Abstract
Being responsible for ensuring nature preservation, environmental interpretation raises people's awareness of nature preservation as a form of public service, and enhance their environmentally responsible behavior. Based on the flow theory, this study proposes a conceptual model of environmental interpretation impacts on visit motivation, ecological experience, environmental attitudes, and environmental behaviors. Selecting the users (visitors) of environmental interpretation at Potatso National Park in Shangri-La, Yunnan Province, China, we obtained 568 valid questionnaires and used Amos software to analyze a structural equation model to verify the model. The results indicate that the environmental interpretation plays a significant role in enriching the public's ecological experience, which is an intermediary variable in which visiting motivation influences environmental attitudes and guides environmentally responsible behavior. The research suggests that national parks should strengthen the environmental interpretation facilities experiential and available, and adjust the configuration of the existing interpretation media in the three-dimensional structure of theme, space, and time, considering the motivation of the public visits, enriching ecological experience, and inspiring service details.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to disturbance of the host’s response to infection, and is often accompanied by shock. Timely and standardized hemodynamic management can effectively control disease progression. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) refers to tissue and organ perfusion and is one of the key factors for patient recovery. In this study, we focused on the relationship between MAP levels and 30-day mortality in patients with sepsis. Methods This cohort study included 14,607 sepsis patients out of 38,597 adults admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston between 2001 and 2012, according to the Sepsis 3.0 diagnostic criteria. According to the MAP value of the sepsis patients on the first day of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, they were divided into 5 groups (Q1 ≤67.4 mmHg, Q2 67.4–72.5 mmHg, Q3 72.5–77.6 mmHg, Q4 77.6–84.6 mmHg, Q5 ≥84.6 mmHg). At the same time, the baseline data of vital signs, critical illness score, comorbidities and laboratory examination were collected on the first day of admission to ICU. The 30-day mortality of the 5 groups of patients and the overall sepsis patients were recorded. Multivariate Cox regression analysis and smooth curve fitting were used to assess the independent association between MAP and 30-day mortality. Results A total of 14,607 sepsis patients were screened. The mean age of participants was 67.2±16.3 years, approximately 46.9% were women, and the overall 30-day mortality rate was 21.0%. Multivariate Cox regression models and smooth curve fitting revealed a non-linear association between MAP and 30-day mortality. The inflection point occurred at 68.6 mmHg. The left side effect size of each 10-unit change in the exposure factor was [hazard ratio (HR): 0.479, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.403–0.569, P<0.001]. To the right of the inflection point, the effect size was (HR: 0.996, 95% CI: 0.931–1.065, P<0.9018). Conclusions Our study demonstrated a non-linear relationship between MAP and 30-day mortality in patients with sepsis. When MAP was less than 68.6 mmHg, it was a strong predictor of the potential risk of sepsis death, which declined by 52.1% for every 10 mmHg growth in MAP.

Abstract
Valerian volatile oil can be used in the treatment of insomnia; however, the active components and mechanisms of action are currently unclear. Therefore, we used transcriptome sequencing and weight coefficient network pharmacology to predict the effective components and mechanism of action of valerian volatile oil in an insomnia model induced by intraperitoneal injection of para-Chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) in SD rats. Valerian essential oil was given orally for treatment and the contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1 A (5-HT1AR), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and protein kinase A (PKA) in the hippocampus of rats in each group were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blot, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that after treatment with valerian essential oil, insomnia rats showed significantly prolonged sleep duration and alleviated insomnia-induced tension and anxiety. Regarding the mechanism of action, we believe that caryophyllene in valerian essential oil upregulates the 5-HT1AR receptor to improve the activity or affinity of the central transmitter 5-HT, increase the release of 5-HT, couple 5-HT with a G protein coupled receptor, convert adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into cAMP (catalyzed by ADCY5), and then directly regulate the downstream pathway. Following pathway activation, we propose that the core gene protein kinase PKA activates the serotonergic synapse signal pathway to increase the expression of 5-HT and GABA, thus improving insomnia symptoms and alleviating anxiety. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of valerian volatile oil in health food.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effective components and possible mechanism of action of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. essential oil (LEO) in preventing vomiting through the olfactory pathway. Materials and Methods A new network pharmacology–based method was established to analyze main components and pathways of LEO involved in antiemetic effects by introducing component content; biological activities of key proteins of the olfactory pathway and their corresponding compounds were verified by molecular docking technique; and finally pica in a rat model was established to verify the molecular mechanism of antiemetic effects of LEO by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the serum 5-HT, substance P, and DA levels in each group and by immunohistochemistry to determine the contents of 5-HT3R, CaMKII and ERK1/2 proteins in the medulla oblongata tissue. Results Network pharmacology combined with molecular docking analysis showed that the mechanism of the antiemetic effect of LEO may be related to (2Z)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl acetate, linalyl acetate, butanoic acid, hexyl ester, 4-hexen-1-ol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethenyl)-, acetate, .tau.-cadinol and other active ingredients, which regulate the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway and the expression of BRAF, PDE and other targets on the pathway. An ELISA revealed that LEO reduced the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), substance P, and dopamine in serum compared with the model group (P <0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis showed that LEO decreased the expression of 5-HT3R, CaMKII, and ERK1/2 proteins in the medulla oblongata of rats compared with the model group (P <0.01). Conclusion LEO may achieve the antiemetic effect by reducing the content of 5-HT and inhibiting its related receptors, thereby regulating downstream Ca2+/CaMKII/ERK1/2 pathway of the cAMP signaling pathway.

Abstract
A narrow near-threshold proton-emitting resonance (E_{x}=11.4 MeV, J^{π}=1/2^{+}, and Γ_{p}=4.4 keV) was directly observed in ^{11}B via proton resonance scattering. This resonance was previously inferred in the β-delayed proton emission of the neutron halo nucleus ^{11}Be. The good agreement between both experimental results serves as a ground to confirm the existence of such exotic decay and the particular behavior of weakly bound nuclei coupled to the continuum. R-matrix analysis shows a sizable partial decay width for both, proton and α (Γ_{α}=11 keV) emission channels.

Abstract
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) caused by group A streptococcus is a rare condition that rapidly developed to multiple organ failure even death. Therefore, prompt diagnosis, initiate appropriate antibiotics and other supportive treatments are critical. Here we reported a case of STSS caused by group A streptococcus infection. A healthy 39-year-old man presented a sudden pain in the left lower extremity, followed by a high fever (40.0 °C) with dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath. Twenty-four hours before the visit, the patient showed anuria. The patient was then admitted to the intensive care unit. Blood examination revealed elevated levels of inflammatory markers and creatinine. He suffered from septic shock, dysfunction of coagulation, acute kidney dysfunction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and acute liver function injury. The diagnosis was obtained through clinical manifestation and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) drawn from the pustule and deep soft tissue (lower limb) samples while all bacterial cultures came back negative. The pustule mNGS report detected a total of 132 unique group A streptococcus sequence reads, representing 96.3% of microbial reads while the soft tissue mNGS report identified a total of 142474 unique group A streptococcus sequence reads, representing 100% of microbial reads. The patient was treated with aggressive fluid resuscitation, antibiotics comprising piperacillin/tazobactam and clindamycin, respiratory support, following the delayed surgical debridement. Intravenous immunoglobulin was also used for 5 days. On the 14th day after admission, he was transferred to the general ward for follow-up treatment. Our case highlighted, for the first time, the key role of mNGS in the early diagnosis of culture-negative invasive group A streptococcal infection. The case also suggested that clindamycin combined with beta-lactam antibiotics and adjunction of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy with delayed debridement performed well in the management of unstable STSS patients.
