Abstract
Pesticides represent one of the largest intentional inputs of potentially hazardous compounds into agricultural soils. However, as an important vegetable producing country, surveys on pesticide residues in soils of vegetable production areas are scarce in China. This study presented the occurrence, spatial distribution, correlation between vegetable types and pesticides, and ecological risk evaluation of 94 current-use pesticides in 184 soil samples from vegetable production areas of Zhejiang province (China). The ecological risks of pesticides to soil biota were evaluated with toxicity exposure ratios (TERs) and risk quotient (RQ). The pesticide concentrations varied largely from below the limit of quantification to 20703.06 μg/kg (chlorpyrifos). The situation of pesticide residues in Jiaxing is more serious than in other cities. Soils in the vegetable areas are highly diverse in pesticide combinations. Eisenia fetida suffered exposure risk from multiple pesticides. The risk posed by chlorpyrifos, which exhibited the highest RQs at all scenarios, was worrisome. Only a few pesticides accounted for the overall risk of a city, while the other pesticides make little or zero contribution. This work will guide the appropriate use of pesticides and manage soil ecological risks, achieving green agricultural production.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) technology has been widely used for the regeneration of periodontal bone defects. However, the limited mechanical properties and bone regeneration potential of the currently available GBR membranes often limit their repair effectiveness. In this paper, serum-derived growth factor lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) nanoparticles and dopamine-decorative nanohydroxyapatite (pDA/nHA) particles were double-loaded into polylactic-glycolic acid/polycaprolactone (PLGA/PCL) scaffolds as an organic/inorganic biphase delivery system, namely, PP-pDA/nHA-LPA scaffolds. Physicochemical properties and osteogenic ability in vitro and in vivo were performed. Scanning electron microscopy and mechanical tests showed that the PP-pDA/nHA-LPA scaffolds had a 3D bionic scaffold structure with improved mechanical properties. In vitro cell experiments demonstrated that the PP-pDA/nHA-LPA scaffolds could significantly enhance the attachment, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. In vivo, the PP-pDA/nHA-LPA scaffolds exhibited great cytocompatibility and cell recruitment ability in 2- and 4-week subcutaneous implantation experiments and significantly promoted bone regeneration in the periodontal defect scaffold implantation experiment. Moreover, LPA-loaded scaffolds were confirmed to enhance osteogenic activities by upregulating the expression of β-catenin and further activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These results demonstrate that the biphase PP-pDA/nHA-LPA delivery system is a promising material for the GBR.

Abstract
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have garnered considerable attention as a low-energy and low-carbon footprint treatment technology. With an increasing number of scholars focusing on AnMBR research, its outstanding performance in the field of water treatment has gradually become evident. However, the primary obstacle to the widespread application of AnMBR technology lies in membrane fouling, which leads to reduced membrane flux and increased energy demand. To ensure the efficient and long-term operation of AnMBRs, effective control of membrane fouling is imperative. Nevertheless, the interactions between various fouling factors are complex, making it challenging to predict the changes in membrane fouling. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the fouling factors in AnMBRs is necessary to establish a theoretical basis for subsequent membrane fouling control in AnMBR applications. This review aims to provide a thorough analysis of membrane fouling issues in AnMBR applications, particularly focusing on fouling factors and fouling control. By delving into the mechanisms behind membrane fouling in AnMBRs, this review offers valuable insights into mitigating membrane fouling, thus enhancing the lifespan of membrane components in AnMBRs and identifying potential directions for future AnMBR research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study presents a case of rapidly developing respiratory failure due to antisynthetase syndrome (AS) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a 33-year-old man diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome (KS). CASE SUMMARY A 33-year-old man with a diagnosis of KS was admitted to the Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine of a tertiary hospital in China for fever and shortness of breath 2 wk after the onset of COVID-19. Computed tomography of both lungs revealed diffuse multiple patchy heightened shadows in both lungs, accompanied by signs of partial bronchial inflation. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid suggested absence of pathogen. A biopsy specimen revealed organizing pneumonia with alveolar septal thickening. Additionally, extensive auto-antibody tests showed strong positivity for anti-SSA, anti-SSB, anti-Jo-1, and anti-Ro-52. Following multidisciplinary discussions, the patient received a final diagnosis of AS, leading to rapidly progressing respiratory failure. CONCLUSION This study underscores the clinical progression of AS-associated interstitial lung disease subsequent to viral infections such as COVID-19 in patients diagnosed with KS.

Abstract
MiRNAs are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that have been demonstrated to be involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing, regulating a number of metabolic functions in the human body, including immune response, cellular physiology, organ development, angiogenesis, signaling, and other aspects. As popular molecules that have been studied in previous years, given their extensive regulatory functions, miRNAs hold considerable promise as non-invasive biomarkers. Sexually transmitted infections(STIs) are still widespread and have an adverse effect on individuals, communities, and society worldwide. miRNAs in the regulatory networks are generally involved in their molecular processes of formation and development. In this review, we discuss the value of miRNAs for the diagnosis of STIs.

Abstract
Human activities have led to an alarming increase in pollution, resulting in widespread water contamination. A comprehensive understanding of the quantitative relationship between anthropogenic pollutant discharges and the escalating anthropogenic disturbances and environmental efforts is crucial for effective water quality management. Here we establish a Model for Estimating Anthropogenic pollutaNts diScharges (MEANS) and simulate the long-term dynamics of various types of anthropogenic discharges in China based on an unprecedented spatio-temporal dynamic parameter dataset. Our findings reveal that from 1980 to 2020, anthropogenic discharges exhibited an overall trend of initially increasing and subsequently decreasing, with the peak occurring around 2005. During this period, the dominant pollution sources in China shifted from urban to rural areas, thereby driving the transition of hotspot pollutants from nitrogen to phosphorus in the eastern regions. The most significant drivers of anthropogenic pollutant discharges gradually shifted from population size and dietary structure to wastewater treatment and agricultural factors. Furthermore, we observed that a significant portion of China's regions still exceed the safety thresholds for pollutant discharges, with excessive levels of total phosphorus (TP) being particularly severe. These findings highlight the need for flexible management strategies in the future to address specific pollution levels and hotspots in different regions. Our study underscores the importance of considering the complex interplay between anthropogenic disturbances, environmental efforts, and long-term anthropogenic pollutant discharges for effective water pollution control.

Abstract
Adult lung resident stem/progenitor cells, including P63+ progenitor cells, have demonstrated the capacity for regeneration of lung epithelium in preclinical models. Here, we report a clinical trial of intrapulmonary P63+ progenitor cell transplantation in 28 participants with stage II to IV chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Autologous P63+ progenitor cells were isolated from the airway basal layer of participants in the intervention group via bronchoscopic brushing, cultured for 3 to 5 weeks, and then transplanted back into the lungs via bronchoscopy at 0.7 × 106 to 5.2 × 106 cells per kilogram of body weight. Twenty patients were evaluable at the end of the study (intervention group, n = 17; control group, n = 3). No grade 3 to 5 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs occurred. Although bronchoscopy-associated AEs were recorded in participants in the intervention group, other AEs were not substantial different between groups. Twenty-four weeks after transplantation, participants in the intervention group displayed improvement in gas transfer capacity [diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) change from baseline: +18.2%], whereas the control group experienced a decrease (DLCO change from baseline: -17.4%; P = 0.008). Furthermore, participants in the intervention group showed >30-meter increase in walking distance within 6 minutes. Transcriptomic analysis of progenitor cells isolated from responding and nonresponding individuals in the intervention group showed that higher expression of P63 was associated with treatment efficacy. In conclusion, transplantation of cultured P63+ lung progenitor cells was safe and might represent a potential therapeutic strategy for COPD.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a zoonotic pathogen posing a threat to animal husbandry and public health. Due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, alternative prevention and control strategies are needed. Live attenuated vaccines are an ideal option that provide protection against an S. Typhimurium pandemic. To develop a safe and effective vaccine, double-gene mutations are recommended to attenuate virulence. In this study, we chose aroA and luxS genes, whose deletion significantly attenuates S. Typhimurium's virulence and enhances immunogenicity, to construct the double-gene mutant vaccine strain SAT52ΔaroAΔluxS. The results show that the mutant strain's growth rate, adherence and invasion of susceptible cells are comparable to a wild-type strain, but the intracellular survival, virulence and host persistence are significantly attenuated. Immunization assay showed that 106 colony-forming units (CFUs) of SAT52ΔaroAΔluxS conferred 100% protection against wild-type challenges; the bacteria persistence in liver and spleen were significantly reduced, and no obvious pathological lesions were observed. Therefore, the double-gene mutant strain SAT52ΔaroAΔluxS exhibits potential as a live attenuated vaccine candidate against S. Typhimurium infection.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive disease that can further evolve towards liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in the end stage. Costunolide (Cos) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone that exhibits both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, the therapeutic effect of Cos on NAFLD is not clear. In this study, we explored the potential protective effect and mechanism of Cos on NAFLD. C57BL/6 mice were fed with high-fat diet (HFD) to induce NAFLD. Cos was administered by gavage to observe the effect of Cos on NAFLD. We demonstrated that oral administration of Cos reduced HFD-induced hepatic fibrosis and the release of inflammatory cytokines, limiting the generation of reactive oxygen species. In vitro experiments revealed that pretreatment with Cos significantly decreased PA-induced production of inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis in AML-12 cells. Mechanism study showed that the effect of Cos was correlated to the induction of Nrf-2 and inhibition of NF-κB pathways. Collectively, these findings indicated that Cos exerts hepatoprotective effect against NAFLD through blocking inflammation and oxidative stress. Our study suggested that Cos might be an effective pharmacotherapy for the treatment of NAFLD.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical anodic reaction of electrochemical water splitting, developing a high-efficiency electrocatalyst is essential. Transition metal-based catalysts are much more cost-effective if comparable activities can be achieved. Among them, fluorides are rarely reported due to their low aqueous stability of coordination and low electric conductivity. Herein, a NiCo bimetallic fluoride with good crystallinity is designed and constructed, and significantly enhanced catalytic activity and conductivity are observed. The inevitable oxidation of transition metal ions at high potential and the dissociation of F- are attributed to the low aqueous stability of coordination. The theoretical researches predicte that transition metal fluorides should have a strong tendency to electrochemical reconstruction. Therefore, based on the observations on their electrochemical behavior, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and bode plots, it is further demonstrated that surface reconstruction occurred during the electrochemical process, meanwhile a significant increase of electrochemically active area, which is created by F migration, are also directly observed. Additionally, DFT calculation results show that the electronic structure of the catalysts is modulated by the bimetallic centers, and this reconstruction helps optimizing the adsorption energy of oxygen-containing species and improves OER activity.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common metabolic disease that is substantially associated with obesity-induced chronic inflammation. Macrophage activation and macrophage-medicated inflammation play crucial roles in the development and progression of NAFLD. Furthermore, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) has been shown to be essentially involved in macrophage activation. This study investigated the role of FGFR1 in the NAFLD pathogenesis and indicated that a high-fat diet (HFD) increased p-FGFR1 levels in the mouse liver, which is associated with increased macrophage infiltration. In addition, macrophage-specific FGFR1 knockout or administration of FGFR1 inhibitor markedly protected the liver from HFD-induced lipid accumulation, fibrosis, and inflammatory responses. The mechanistic study showed that macrophage-specific FGFR1 knockout alleviated HFD-induced liver inflammation by suppressing the activation of MAPKs and TNF signaling pathways and reduced fat deposition in hepatocytes, thereby inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells. In conclusion, the results of this research revealed that FGFR1 could protect the liver of HFD-fed mice by inhibiting MAPKs/TNF-mediated inflammatory responses in macrophages. Therefore, FGFR1 can be employed as a target to prevent the development and progression of NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) is a rare autosomal recessive liver disorder, characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. This case report investigates the clinical characteristics and longitudinal outcomes of a neonate diagnosed with DJS. METHODS A newborn presented with elevated bilirubin levels and abnormal liver enzyme readings. Comprehensive genetic evaluation was conducted, which included peripheral blood sample collection from the infant and both parents after obtaining informed consent and high-throughput trio exome sequencing was performed. The genetic analysis revealed 2 significant mutations in the ABCC2 gene on chromosome 10: the insertion mutation c.4237(exon30)_c.4238(exon30)ins CT, inherited from the father, and the missense mutation c.517(exon5)G > A, inherited from the mother. Both mutations were classified as pathogenic according to the ACMG 2015 guidelines, indicating a compound heterozygous inheritance pattern. The patient's treatment regimen included phototherapy, which was initiated to address her jaundice upon admission. To support liver function and regulate gut activity, oral ursodeoxycholic acid (20 mg/kg/dose, twice a day) and probiotics were administered. Additionally, a postdischarge medication plan involving a low-dose regimen of phenobarbital (3.5 mg/kg/dose, twice a day) was implemented for 2 weeks. RESULTS During a 2-year follow-up after discharge, the infant's bilirubin levels significantly decreased, and liver enzymes, including GGT, progressively normalized. CONCLUSION This case report enhances the understanding of DJS in neonates by emphasizing the clinical ramifications of compound heterozygous mutations within the ABCC2 gene and documenting the evolution of the disease. The gradual normalization of liver function tests suggests potential compensatory mechanisms in response to the genetic abnormalities in neonates with DJS. The correlation between the patient's genetic profile of compound heterozygosity and her milder clinical phenotype warrants attention, suggesting that this specific genetic configuration may be associated with less severe manifestations of the disease. The necessity for long-term follow-up is highlighted, recognizing that intercurrent stress conditions could influence the hepatic profile and potentially exacerbate symptoms. Such sustained observation is crucial to further delineate the genomic and clinical landscape of DJS, offering opportunities to refine prognostic and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and effectiveness of two new models of KangDuo surgical robots for partial nephrectomy in porcine models, and evaluate the ergonomic characteristics from both subjective and objective perspectives. Twelve porcine models were equally divided for KD-SR-1500 (three-arm) and KD-SR-2000 (four-arm). The perioperative outcomes, and physical and mental workload of the surgeon were compared. Physical workload was evaluated with surface electromyography. Mental workload was evaluated with NASA-TLX. All surgeries were performed successfully. There were no differences in perioperative variables (p > 0.05). There were no perioperative complications. The mental workload in both groups was at a low level. KD-SR-2000 showed advantages in physical workload (p < 0.01). KD-SR-1500 and KD-SR-2000 are technically feasible, valid, and safe for RAPN in porcine models. KD-SR-2000 had ergonomic advantages over KD-SR-1500.

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of nutrient transport patterns and clarification of pollutant sources' load contributions are critical prerequisites for developing scientific pollution control strategies in complex river basins. Here, we focused on the Minjiang River Basin (MRB) and employed the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to systematically investigate the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loads from both point and non-point sources. Results revealed that the key source areas of N and P pollution in the MRB were predominantly located along the riverbanks, influenced by a combination of sediment, precipitation, agricultural activities such as fertilization. Our analysis indicated that soil nutrient loss, fertilization, and livestock farming were the major contributors to N and P inputs, accounting for over 70 % of the total input, followed by rural residential and urban point sources. Based on the identification of non-point source pollution as the primary load source, a multi-objective optimization was conducted using response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II), resulting in the identification of optimal best management practices (BMPs) that achieve a reduction of 40.04 % in N load, 39.22 % in P load, and a net economic benefit of -1.13 billion yuan per year. Compared to the RSM and automated optimization results, the proposed management measures exhibited significant improvements in N and P load reduction and net benefits. Overall, the findings provide important insights for formulating agricultural management policies in the MRB and offering valuable implications for pollution management in other complex river basins.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a subtype of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is the leading cause of liver-related morbidity worldwide. Caspase recruitment domain family member 9 (CARD9), a myeloid cell-specific signaling protein, belongs to the CARD protein family. However, its role in NASH is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of CARD9 in the development of NASH. NASH models were established using CARD9-knockout and wild-type mice. They were either fed a methionine/choline deficient (MCD) diet for 6 weeks or a high-fat high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet for 16 weeks. Liver fibrosis model was also developed using CCl4. CARD9 deficiency accelerated steatohepatitis development in MCD or HFHC diet-fed mice, accompanied by an upregulation of fibrosis, adipogenesis, and proinflammatory genes. CARD9 deficiency was found to exacerbate CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. In vitro studies demonstrated that CARD9 deficiency induced the expression of S100a8/a9 through Toll-like receptor in Kupffer cells treated with palmitate. This led to an increased expression of proinflammatory, fibrosis, and lipid metabolism-related genes in NASH progression. These results highlight the role of CARD9 in the development of NASH and provide new insights into the therapeutic strategies for NASH.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive biliary epithelial tumor with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Curcumin is a promising active natural compound with several anti-cancer properties, though its clinical uses remain hindered due to its poor bioavailability. We recently synthesized curcumin analogs with multifunctional pharmacological and bioactivities with enhanced bioavailability. Among these novel curcumin analogs, WZ26 is a representative molecule. However, the anti-tumor effect of WZ26 against CCA is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the anti-tumor effect of WZ26 in both CCA cells and CCA xenograft mouse model. The underlying molecular anti-cancer mechanism of WZ26 was also studied. Our results show that WZ26 significantly inhibited cell growth and induced mitochondrial apoptosis in CCA cell lines, leading to significant inhibition of tumor growth in xenograft tumor mouse model. Treatment of WZ26 increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, subsequently decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibited the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), thereby inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis. Pretreatment of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), an antioxidant agent, could fully reverse the WZ26-induced ROS-mediated changes in CCA cells. Our findings provide experimental evidence that curcumin analog WZ26 could be a potential candidate against CCA via enhancing ROS induction and inhibition of STAT3 activation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) determines infarct size and long-term outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, alleviates MIRI in animal models. METHOD We investigated the potential mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective effect of dapagliflozin against MIRI, focusing on mitochondrial injury and mitophagy. MIRI mouse and H9C2 cell models were established. RESULTS 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining showed a significant alleviation of MIRI after pre-treatment of dapagliflozin compared to the model group (14.91±1.76 vs. 40.47±3.69%). Data from the pre-treatment dapagliflozin group showed a significant decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (44.8±2.7 vs. 28.5±5.3%, P<0.01), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) (70.6±9.5 vs. 93.5±13.8 ul, P<0.05), and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) (39.0± 8.3 vs. 67.9±13.7 ul, P<0.05) compared to the model group. Dapagliflozin also reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and fragmented mitochondrial DNA, reversed the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, and suppressed apoptosis. Further study showed that dapagliflozin could protect against mitochondrial injury by rapidly clearing damaged mitochondria via mitophagy in a phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/parkindependent manner. Dapagliflozin regulated mitophagy in cardiomyocytes by suppressing the adenosine 5'monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-PINK1/parkin signalling pathway, resulting in attenuated MIRI. CONCLUSION Dapagliflozin alleviated MIRI by activating mitophagy via the AMPK-PINK1/parkin signalling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a new surgical robot recently developed in China. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and mid-term outcomes of urological procedures using the KD-SR-01 system. METHODS From August 2020 to April 2023, consecutive urologic procedures were performed at Peking University First Hospital using the KD-SR-01 system. The clinical features, perioperative data, and follow-up outcomes were prospectively collected and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 110 consecutive patients were recruited. Among these patients, 28 underwent partial nephrectomy (PN), 41 underwent urinary tract reconstruction (26 underwent pyeloplasty, 3 underwent ureteral reconstruction and 12 underwent ureterovesical reimplantation [UR]), and 41 underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). The median operative time for PN was 112.5 min, 157.0 min for pyeloplasty, 151.0 min for ureteral reconstruction, 142.5 min for UR, and 138.0 min for RP. The median intraoperative blood loss was 10 mL for PN, 10 mL for pyeloplasty, 30 mL for ureteral reconstruction, 20 mL for UR, and 50 mL for RP. All procedures were successfully completed without conversion, and there were no major complications in any patient. The median warm ischemia time of PN was 17.3 min, and positive surgical margin was not noted in any patient. The overall positive surgical margin rate of RP was 39% (16/41), and no biochemical recurrence was observed in any RP patient during the median follow-up of 11.0 months. The surgical success rates of pyeloplasty and UR were 96% (25/26) and 92% (11/12) during the median follow-up of 29.5 months and 11.5 months, respectively. CONCLUSION The KD-SR-01 system appears feasible, safe, and effective for most urological procedures, based on our single-center experience.

Abstract
Ionic substitution can effectively activate the surface of hydroxyapatite (HA) for bone repair and regeneration processes. Therefore in this study, magnesium (Mg)-, zinc (Zn)-, and Mg/Zn-codoped HA was prepared by a hydrothermal method. The results of experimental and first-principles calculations verify the existence of Mg and Zn ions in the HA structure by altering cell parameters, crystallinity, and particle size. The results also showed that Mg and Zn are actively accommodated at the Ca(1) and Ca(2) positions, which not only inhibit HA formation but also promote calcium-deficient HA, and when the codoping content increased to 10%Mg and 10%Zn, the HA transformed completely to the whitlockite phase. Furthermore, the impact of codoping on biocompatibility was examined by employing MC3T3 cells. The in vitro study revealed that 5%Mg and 5%Zn single and -codoped HA promoted the proliferation of MC3T3 cells and 5%Mg-doped and -codoped HA stimulated MC3T3 cell differentiation, while 5%Zn-doped and -codoped HA revealed worthy antibacterial properties. Overall, the obtained results demonstrate that cosubstituted HA (5%Mg and 5%Zn) is promising, which not only eradicates bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) but also induces bone regeneration. These findings suggest that 5%Mg and 5%Zn binary-substituted HA is a very promising biomaterial for hard tissue scaffolds and bone repair.

Abstract
Background Great progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of membranous nephropathy (MN). However, a significant number of patients do not respond to immunosuppressive therapy and eventually progress to end-stage kidney disease. To investigate the mechanism of different outcome of MN, we performed single-cell sequencing to analyze the urine cells of patients with and without complete remission of MN. Methods Urine single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on 12 healthy controls (HC) and 15 patients with MN. The patients were divided into a complete remission group (CR, n = 9) and a no remission group (NR, n = 6). Results (i) Macrophages were the largest group in urine cells, comprising 48.02%, 68.96% and 20.95% in the HC, CR and NR groups, respectively. (ii) Urinary macrophages expressing FIColin-1 and S100 calcium-binding protein A8 were mainly found in the HC and CR groups, indicating that they were derived from bone marrow and peripheral blood, while the urinary macrophages expressing the regulator of G-protein signaling 1 (RGS1) and HLA-DPA1, mainly found in the NR group, were derived from renal resident macrophages. (iii) In healthy adults, urine macrophages expressed the metallothionein family, indicating that they can regulate anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory functions bidirectionally. In the CR group, the urine macrophages showed strong proinflammatory properties. In the NR group, the urinary macrophages mainly associated with the level of proteinuria and the impaired renal function. Conclusions Our study firstly delineated the differences in urinary cell maps between healthy individuals and MN patients with CR or NR outcomes. Not only the origin but also the function of urine macrophages were different in the HC, CR and NR groups.

Abstract
Riverine ecosystems are a significant source of nitrous oxide (N2O) worldwide, but how they respond to human and natural changes remains unknown. In this study, we developed a compound model chain that integrates mechanism-based modeling and machine learning to understand N2O transfer patterns within land, rivers, and the atmosphere. The findings reveal a decrease in N2O emissions in the Yangtze River basin from 4.7 Gg yr-1 in 2000 to 2.8 Gg yr-1 in 2019, with riverine emissions accounting for 0.28% of anthropogenic nitrogen discharges from land. This unexpected reduction is primarily attributed to improved water quality from human-driven nitrogen control, while natural factors contributed to a 0.23 Gg yr-1 increase. Notably, urban rivers exhibited a more rapid N2O efflux ( [Formula: see text] ), with upstream levels nearly 3.1 times higher than rural areas. We also observed nonlinear increases in [Formula: see text] with nitrogen discharge intensity, with urban areas showing a gradual and broader range of increase compared to rural areas, which exhibited a sharper but narrower increase. These nonlinearities imply that nitrogen control measures in urban areas lead to stable reductions in N2O emissions, while rural areas require innovative nitrogen source management solutions for greater benefits. Our assessment offers fresh insights into interpreting riverine N2O emissions and the potential for driving regionally differentiated emission reductions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is a prominent driver of lung cancer. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown efficacy in treating EGFR-mutant lung cancer, but the emergence of drug resistance poses a significant challenge. Recent research has highlighted solute carrier family 12 member 8 (SLC12A8) as one of the highly upregulated genes in various cancer types. However, its oncogenic function remains largely unexplored. METHODS 343 consecutive lung cancer patients were prospectively recruited and were followed for over 10 years. SLC12A8 expression in lung cancer tissues was measured by qPCR and was associated with patient survival. The association of SLC12A8 with TKI resistance was studied in in vitro EGFR-mutant lung cancer cell line as well as in in vivo xenograft tumor model. High-throughput kinome screening was employed to investigate SLC12A8-mediated oncogenic signaling pathway in lung cancer. RESULTS SLC12A8 is a predictive biomarker of poor prognosis in lung cancer, particularly in patients with EGFR mutations. SLC12A8 overexpression diminishes the effectiveness of TKIs in EGFR-mutant lung cancer, resulting in treatment failure and disease progression. More importantly, SLC12A8-induced TKI resistance is mediated by the PDK1/AKT signaling axis, while silencing SLC12A8 expression inhibits oncogenic PDK1/AKT signaling, restoring TKI sensitivity in lung cancer cells. CONCLUSION SLC12A8 mediates TKI resistance in EGFR-mutant lung cancer via PDK1/AKT axis. These findings not only advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving TKI resistance, but also offer novel alternative strategies for the treatment of lung cancer.

OBJECTIVES To assess the indications, timing, and clinical outcomes that result from the early tracheostomy (ET) administration, by causal inference models. DESIGN A retrospective observational study. SETTING Multiinstitutional intensive care unit in the United States PARTICIPANTS: The study comprised 626 trauma patients. INTERVENTIONS An ET versus late tracheostomy (LT). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Trauma patients with tracheostomy were identified from 2 public databases named Medical Information Mart for the Intensive Care-IV and eICU Collaborative Research Database. Tracheostomy was defined as early (≤7 days) or late (>7 days) from intensive care unit admission. A marginal structural Cox model (MSCM) with inverse probability weighting was employed. For comparison, the authors also used time-dependent propensity-score matching (PSM) to account for differences in the probability of receiving an ET or LT. A total of 626 eligible patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 321 (51%) received a ET. The MSCM and time-dependent PSM indicated that the ET group was associated with reduced ventilation-associated pneumonia (VAP) and a shorter mechanical ventilation (MV) duration than the LT group. Yet, mortality did not show any difference between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The authors' study observed that ET was not associated with reduced mortality in trauma patients, but it was associated with reduced VAP risk and MV duration. The results warrant further validation in randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compassionate use is a system that provides patients with expedited access to drugs which has not yet been approved, but currently in clinical trials. The investigational drugs have been authorized for compassionate use in cases involving patients suffered from life-threatening diseases and with no alternative treatments. For instance, patients afflicted with highly heterogeneous rare diseases are eligible for treatment assistance through the compassionate use program. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of compassionate use in the context of rare diseases, evaluate the efficacy and safety of compassionate use for rare diseases, and analyze the marketing approval of investigational drugs. METHODS The case reports/case series of compassionate use were collected by conducting searches on Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI and SinoMed, spanning from January 1991 to December 2022. Subsequently, two independent reviewers evaluated these reports. Case reports/case series that met the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were enrolled. Information extracted from these reports and series included patients' basic information, the investigational drug's name, its indication, adverse events, treatment outcomes, and other relevant data. RESULTS A total of forty-six studies were included, encompassing 2079 patients with an average age of 38.1 years. Thirty-nine different drugs were involved in 46 studies. Furthermore, neoplasms emerged as the most common therapeutic area for compassionate use in rare disease management (23/46, 50.0%). Regarding the treatment efficacy, four studies reported successful disease resolution, while 35 studies observed symptom improvement among patients. Conversely, four studies documented no significant effects on patients' diseases. Moreover, one study reported worsened results following compassionate use, while the efficacy was not described in 2 studies. Adverse events were reported in 31 studies (67.4%) because of the compassionate use, while no adverse events occurred in 13 studies (28.3%). In other 2 studies, there was no description about whether treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were happened. 136 patients (6.5%) had Grade 5 adverse events (death), of which 19 deaths (0.9%) were considered to be related to compassionate use. Furthermore, the investigational drugs in 33 studies (33/46, 71.7%) received new drug approval at the end of January 31, 2023.The time lag from the start of the compassionate use to the formal approval of the investigational drug was 790.5 (IQR 359-2199.3) days. We found that in 11 studies, encompassing 9 different drugs, some compassionate use indications had not received regulatory authorities at the end of January 31, 2023. CONCLUSION The current status of compassionate use for rare diseases was clarified systematically in this study. Compassionate use of investigational drug is a significant treatment option for rare disease. In general, compassionate use appears to demonstrate favorable efficacy in the context of rare diseases, with a significant proportion of compassionate use drugs subsequently receiving marketing approval. However, the safety of drugs for compassionate use cannot be fully evaluated due to the safety data were not covered in some enrolled studies. Therefore, the establishment of an adverse event reporting system specific to compassionate use is warranted.

Abstract
Vivianite recovery from wastewater driven by Geobacter is one of the promising approaches to address the challenges of phosphorus (P) resource shortage and eutrophication. However, the interfere of heavy metals which are prevalent in many actual wastewater with this process is rarely reported. In this study, we investigated the impact of heavy metals (i.e., Cu and Zn ions) on microbial activity, Fe reduction, P recovery efficiency, and their fate during Geobacter-induced vivianite recovery process. The experimental results showed that low and medium concentrations of Cu and Zn prolonged the Fe reduction and P recovery time but had little effect on the final P recovery efficiency. However, high concentrations of Cu and Zn ultimately inhibit vivianite formation. In addition, the different concentrations of Cu and Zn showed different effects on the morphology of the recovered vivianite. The migration of Cu and Zn was analysed by stepwise extraction of heavy metals in the vivianite. Medium concentrations of Cu and Zn were more likely to co-precipitate with vivianite, while adsorption was the primary mechanism at low concentrations. Furthermore, there were differences in the fate of Cu and Zn, and a competition mechanism was observed. Finally, we found that increasing the Fe/P ratio can significantly reduce the residues of heavy metals in vivianite. It also increased the adsorbed Cu and Zn proportion and reduced co-precipitation. These results provide insights into improving the efficiency of vivianite recovery and managing the environmental risks of heavy metal in the recovered product.

Abstract
YY1 affects tumorigenesis and metastasis in multiple ways. However, the function of YY1 and the potential mechanisms through which it operates in gastric cancer (GC) progression by regulating autophagy remains poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the essential transcription factors (TFs) involved in autophagy regulation in GC. Western blot, RFP-GFP-LC3 double fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) assays were used to probe autophagy activity in GC cells. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) was utilized to evaluate the ALKBH5-regulated m6A levels of YY1. Gain- and loss-of-function assays were employed in the scrutiny of the biological effects of the ALKBH5/YY1/ATG4B axis on cancer cell proliferation and invasion abilities in vitro. Per the findings, YY1 was identified as a crucial transcriptional activator of cancer autophagy-related genes and promoted the proliferation and aggressiveness of cancer cells associated with enhanced ATG4B-mediated autophagy. However, ectopic ALKBH5 expression abolished the YY1-induced effect via m6A modification. Importantly, YTHDF1 facilitated the mRNA stability of YY1 through m6A recognition. Collectively, this study found that YY1 was regulated by ALKBH5 and YTHDF1-mediated m6A modification and served as an autophagy-dependent tumor driver to accelerate cancer progression through ATG4B transactivation, providing an exploitable therapeutic target for GC.

Abstract
Purpose Ceftazidime-avibactam (C-A) is a treatment option for carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial (CR-GNB) infections, but little is known regarding its suitability for the intensive care unit (ICU). The current study aimed to analyze use of C-A for critically ill patients, determine independent predictors of clinical outcome and mortality and explore routine dosages for patients in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Patients and Methods A single-center, retrospective and observational study was conducted in critically ill patients receiving different C-A-based therapies for CR-GNB infections in a tertiary teaching hospital in Beijing, China. Demographic data, severity of infection, clinical outcomes and mortality were assessed. The primary and secondary outcome of this study was 90-day all-cause mortality and 14-day clinical response, respectively. Results A total of 43 patients with CR-GNB infection were enrolled, including 14 (32.6%) patients received C-A monotherapy. C-A monotherapy and combination with other agents did not affect 14-day clinical response or 90-day survival. All-cause mortality at 90-days was 39.5% (17/43). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that concomitant with bloodstream infection was independent risk factors for 90-day mortality and that the time to initiation of C-A and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) score was independent predictors of 14-day clinical response. Five CRRT patients who received high-dose C-A therapy (>3.75 g/d) had prolonged survival compared with 5 who received low-dose C-A (<3.75 g/d, p = 0.03). Conclusion C-A was an effective therapy for severe CR-GNB infections and clinical response correlated with the time of C-A initiation. A dosage >3.75g/d C-A was associated with prolonged survival of CRRT patients. Randomized controlled trials or multicenter studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), the joint result of ischemic injury and reperfusion injury, is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that activated platelets directly contribute to the pathogenesis of MIRI through participating in the formation of microthrombi, interaction with leukocytes, secretion of active substances, constriction of microvasculature, and activation of spinal afferent nerves. The molecular mechanisms underlying the above detrimental effects of activated platelets include the homotypic and heterotypic interactions through surface receptors, transduction of intracellular signals, and secretion of active substances. Revealing the roles of platelet activation in MIRI and the associated mechanisms would provide potential targets/strategies for the clinical evaluation and treatment of MIRI. Further studies are needed to characterize the temporal (ischemia phase vs. reperfusion phase) and spatial (systemic vs. local) distributions of platelet activation in MIRI by multi-omics strategies. To improve the likelihood of translating novel cardioprotective interventions into clinical practice, basic researches maximally replicating the complexity of clinical scenarios would be necessary.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to establish a simple method for the determination of riluzole in human plasma by ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and apply it for the determination of riluzole in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. Methods: Samples were prepared by protein precipitation and were then gradient-eluted on a column of ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 by using 0.1% formic acid acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid water as the mobile phase. Detection was performed on a Xevo TQ-S tandem mass spectrometer in the multiple-reaction monitoring mode using positive electrospray ionization. Validation was performed in the range of 5-800 ng/mL. Results and discussion: Three batches of precision accuracy, selectivity, matrix effects, extraction recovery, and stability were also verified and met the requirements. The results showed that the method was reliable and successfully applied to the pharmacokinetics study of riluzole in Chinese amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients. Meanwhile, in comparison with other prior published methods, our method has the advantages of simple sample preparation, relatively short running time, and small plasma sample consumption, which represented a high-throughput sample determination potential.

Trait evolution in invasive plant species is important because it can impact demographic parameters key to invasion success. Invasive plant species often show phenotypic clines along geographic and climatic gradients. However, the relative contributions of natural selection and neutral evolutionary processes to phenotypic trait variation among populations of invasive plants remain unclear. A common method to assess whether a trait has been shaped by natural selection or neutral evolutionary processes is to compare the geographical pattern for the trait of interest to the divergence in neutral genetic loci (i.e., Q ST -F ST comparisons). Subsequently, a redundancy analysis (RDA) can facilitate identification of putative agents of natural selection on the trait. Here, we employed both a Q ST -F ST comparisons approach and RDA to infer whether natural selection shaped traits of invasive populations of Solidago canadensis in China and identify the potential environmental drivers of natural selection. We addressed two questions: (1) Did natural selection drive phenotypic trait variation among S. canadensis populations? (2) Did climatic, latitudinal, longitudinal, and altitudinal gradients drive patterns of genetic variation among S. canadensis populations? We found significant directional selection for several morphological and reproductive traits (i.e., Q ST > F ST) and stabilizing selection for physiological traits (i.e., Q ST < F ST). The RDA showed that stem biomass of S. canadensis was strongly positively correlated with longitude, while leaf width ratio and specific leaf area were significantly positively correlated with the mean diurnal range. Stem biomass had a strong negative correlation with annual precipitation. Moreover, height of S. canadensis individuals was strongly positively correlated with altitude and precipitation of the wettest quarter. A longitudinal shift in precipitation seasonality likely selected for larger stem biomass in S. canadensis. Overall, these results suggest that longitudinal and altitudinal clines in climate exerted strong selection pressures that shaped the phenotypic traits of S. canadensis.

Abstract
The over-reliance on tetracycline antibiotics (TC) in the animal husbandry and medical field has seriously affected the safety of the ecological environment. Therefore, how to effectively treat tetracycline wastewater has always been a long-term global challenge. Here, we developed a novel polyethyleneimine (PEI)/Zn-La layered double hydroxides (LDH)/cellulose acetate (CA) beads with cellular interconnected channels to strengthen the TC removal. The results of the exploration on its adsorption properties illustrated that the adsorption process exhibited a favorable correlation with the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, namely monolayer chemisorption. Among the many candidates, the maximum adsorption capacity of TC by 10 %PEI-0.8LDH/CA beads was 316.76 mg/g. Apart from that, the effects of pH, interfering species, actual water matrix and recycling on the adsorption of TC by PEI-LDH/CA beads were also analyzed to verify their superior removal capability. The potential for industrial-scale applications was expanded through fixed-bed column experiments. The proven adsorption mechanisms mainly included electrostatic interaction, complexation, hydrogen bonding, n-π EDA effect and cation-π interaction. The self-floating high-performance PEI-LDH/CA beads exploited in this work provided fundamental support for the practical application of antibiotic-based wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Heavy metals in water are critical global environmental problems. In particular, the anionic heavy metal chromium (Cr) has carcinogenic and genotoxic risks on human health. To this end, an ultralight and flexible nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)/chitosan (CS) aerogel was developed only by freeze-drying combined with physical thermal cross-linking for efficient one step co-removal of Cr(VI) and Cr(III). The maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) and total Cr calculated according to the Langmuir model was 197.33 and 134.12 mg/g, respectively. Even in the presence of competing soluble organics, anions and oil contaminants, the resulting NFC/CS-5 aerogels showed excellent selectivity. The aerogel exhibited outstanding mechanical integrity, remaining intact after 17 compressions in air and underwater. Meanwhile, after 5 adsorption-desorption cycles, the aerogel was easy to regenerate and maintained a high regeneration efficiency of 80.25%. Importantly, self-assembled NFC/CS-5 aerogel filter connected with the peristaltic pump could purify 752 mL of industrial wastewater with Cr(VI) pre-concentration capacity of 49.71 mg/g. XPS and FT-IR verified that electrostatic interactions, reduction and complexation acted as the main driving forces for the adsorption process. Moreover, such aerogel possessed broad application prospects for alleviating heavy metal pollution in agriculture.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) causing viral arthritis/tenosynovitis and viral enteritis in domestic fowl has significantly threatened on the poultry industry worldwide. ARV is a non-enveloped fusogenic virus that belongs to the Reoviridae family. Previous research revealed that cellular cholesterol in lipid rafts is essential for ARV replication. It has been reported that cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) and its product 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC) have antiviral activities against enveloped viruses. However, few studies characterized the association of non-enveloped viruses with CH25H and the role of CH25H in the regulation of ARV replication. In this study, the expression of chicken CH25H (chCH25H) was found to be upregulated in ARV-infected cells at the early stage of infection. The results of overexpression and knockdown assays revealed that chCH25H has a significant antiviral effect against ARV infection. Furthermore, a 25HC treatment significantly inhibited ARV replication in a dose-dependent manner at both the entry and post-entry stages, and a chCH25H mutant lacking hydroxylase activity failed to inhibit ARV infection. These results indicate that CH25H, depending on its enzyme activity, exerts the antiviral effect against ARV via the synthesis of 25HC. In addition, we revealed that 25HC produced by CH25H inhibits viral entry by delaying the kinetics of ARV uncoating, and CH25H blocks cell-cell membrane fusion induced by the p10 protein of ARV. Altogether, our findings showed that CH25H, as a natural host restriction factor, possessed antiviral activity against ARV targeting viral entry and syncytium formation, through an enzyme activity-dependent way. This study may provide new insights into the development of broad-spectrum antiviral therapies.

Abstract
Accurate evaluation of groundwater chemistry, quality, and human health risk could provide detailed and robust evidence of groundwater utilization. Gaer County is an important residential area in western Tibet. A total of 52 samples were collected from the Shiquan River Basin in Gaer County in 2021. Principal component analysis, ratiometric analysis of major ions, and geochemical modeling were conducted to clarify the characteristics of hydrogeochemical compositions and the controlling factors. The groundwater chemistry type is dominated by HCO3-Ca, and its ion concentration from high to low is Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+ and HCO3- > SO42- > Cl- > NO3- > F-. The groundwater compositions were determined by calcite and dolomite dissolution with cation exchange reaction. The human activity causes nitrate contamination, while arsenic contamination is attributed to surface water recharge. According to the Water Quality Index, 99% of the samples meet the requirements of drinking water. Groundwater quality is affected by the arsenic, fluoride, and nitrate concentrations. According to the human health risk assessment model, the cumulative noncarcinogenic risk (HITotal) values for children and the CR values of arsenic (CRArsenic) for adults are higher than 1 and 1E-6, respectively, which are unacceptable risk values. Therefore, appropriate remedial measures are recommended to reduce nitrate and arsenic concentrations in groundwater sources for protecting against further health risks. This study can provide theoretical support and effective groundwater management experience for ensuring groundwater safety in Gaer County and other similar regions around the world.

Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle swarms (UAVSs) can carry out numerous tasks such as detection and mapping when outfitted with machine learning (ML) models. However, due to the flying height and mobility of UAVs, it is very difficult to ensure a continuous and stable connection between ground base stations and UAVs, as a result of which distributed machine learning approaches, such as federated learning (FL), perform better than centralized machine learning approaches in some circumstances when utilized by UAVs. However, in practice, functions that UAVs must perform often, such as emergency obstacle avoidance, require a high sensitivity to latency. This work attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis of energy consumption and latency sensitivity of FL in UAVs and present a set of solutions based on an efficient asynchronous federated learning mechanism for edge network computing (EAFLM) combined with ant colony optimization (ACO) for the cases where UAVs execute such latency-sensitive jobs. Specifically, UAVs participating in each round of communication are screened, and only the UAVs that meet the conditions will participate in the regular round of communication so as to compress the communication times. At the same time, the transmit power and CPU frequency of the UAV are adjusted to obtain the shortest time of an individual iteration round. This method is verified using the MNIST dataset and numerical results are provided to support the usefulness of our proposed method. It greatly reduces the communication times between UAVs with a relatively low influence on accuracy and optimizes the allocation of UAVs' communication resources.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Polymyxin B (PMB)-based therapy is one of the most important treatments for patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanni (CRAB) caused nosocomial pneumonia. However, the optimal PMB-based combination regimen hasn't been well documented. METHODS In this retrospective study, 111 critically ill patients in intensive care unit who experienced CRAB nosocomial pneumonia and received intravenous (IV) PMB-based therapy between January 1, 2018 and June 1, 2022 were included. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality within 28 days. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to explore risk factors for mortality in the enrolled patients treated with PMB-based regimens and the three most frequent combination regimens. RESULTS PMB + sulbactam (SB) regimen was significantly associated with a decreased risk of mortality (aHR: 0.10; 95% CI: 0.03-0.39; P = 0.001). The proportion of low-dose PMB in PMB + SB regimen (79.2%) was higher than in PMB + carbapenem (CB) (61.9%) or tigecycline (TC) (50.0%). In contrast, PMB + CB regimen significantly increased mortality (aHR: 3.27; 95% CI: 1.47-7.27; P = 0.004). Although the proportion of high-dose PMB in PMB + TC (17.9%) was higher than in other two regimens, the mortality remained highest (42.9%) and serum creatinine folds increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS PMB in combination with SB may be a promising treatment option for patients with CRAB-induced nosocomial pneumonia, as mortality was significantly reduced with low-dose PMB and no increased risk of nephrotoxicity was observed.

Abstract
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are organic pollutants that are persistent and undegradable in the environment. To investigate their residual concentrations, spatial and temporal distributions, and the relationship with the crops planted, 12 individual OCPs in 687 soil samples from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces of southeast China were examined. The detection frequencies of OCPs in the studied areas were 1.89%-64.9%. The concentrations of dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), and endosulfans ranged from 0.01 to 5659 μg/kg, 0.03-3.58 μg/kg, and 0.05-3235 μg/kg, respectively. Jiangsu was mainly contaminated by p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD and endosulfan sulfate, Zhejiang was more polluted by OCPs except δ-HCH, and Jiangxi was more vulnerable to the contamination of OCPs except o,p'-DDE. The partial least-squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) model with RX2 36.3-36.8% revealed that compounds with similar chemical properties tended to appear in the same year and month. All crop lands were polluted by DDTs and Endosulfans. The highest concentrations of DDTs and Endosulfans were found in citrus and vegetable fields, respectively. This study offers new insight into the layout and partitioning of OCPs in agricultural land and into insecticide management on public health and ecological safety.

Abstract
A fast and sensitive method for simultaneously detecting nonfumigant nematicide fluensulfone (FSF) and its two major metabolites [3,4,4-trifluorobut-3-ene-1-sulfonic acid (BSA) and 5‑chloro-1,3-thiazole-2-sulfonic acid (TSA)] in different types of agricultural soils (black soil, krasnozem, sierozem) was established and validated through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The samples were prepared by a modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe method. The soil samples were firstly extracted with acetonitrile/water (4/1) and then purified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Parameters influencing purification efficiency and recoveries, such as the type and the amount of sorbent were evaluated and compared. The overall average recoveries of three target analytes in soils were in the range of 73.1%-113.9% and the relative standard deviations (including intra-day and inter-day precision) were less than 12.7%. The limit of quantification was 5 μg/kg for all three compounds. The established method was successfully applied to examine the degradation of FSF and the formation of its two major metabolites in three different types of soil, indicating its efficacy in investigating the environmental behavior of FSF in agricultural soil system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia-induced chronic inflammation is a crucial risk factor that causes undesirable cardiac alternations in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that primarily regulates cell adhesion and migration. Based on recent studies, FAK is involved in inflammatory signaling pathway activation in cardiovascular diseases. Here, we evaluated the possibility of FAK as a therapeutic target for DCM. METHODS A small molecular selective FAKinhibitor, PND-1186 (PND), was used to evaluate the effect of FAK on DCM in both high glucose-stimulated cardiomyocytes and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) mice. RESULTS Increased FAK phosphorylation was found in the hearts of STZ-induced T1DM mice. PND treatment significantly decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokines and fibrogenic markers in cardiac specimens of diabetic mice. Notably, these reductions were correlated with improved cardiac systolic function. Furthermore, PND suppressed transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) phosphorylation and NF-κB activation in the hearts of diabetic mice. Cardiomyocytes were identified as the main contributor to FAK-mediated cardiac inflammation and the involvement of FAK in cultured primary mouse cardiomyocytes and H9c2 cells was identified. Both FAK inhibition or FAK deficiency prevented hyperglycemia-induced inflammatory and fibrotic responses in cardiomyocytes owing to the inhibition of NF-κB. Herein, FAK activation was revealed to FAK directly binding to TAK1, leading to activation of TAK1 and downstream NF-κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS FAK is a key regulator of diabetes-associated myocardial inflammatory injury by directly targeting to TAK1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retinoblastoma (RB) is frequently occurring malignant tumors that originate in the retina, and their exact cause and development mechanisms are yet to be fully comprehended. In this study, we identified possible biomarkers for RB and delved into the molecular mechanics linked with such markers. METHODS In this study GSE110811 and GSE24673 were analyzed. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was applied to screen modules and genes associated with RB. By overlapping RB-related module genes with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between RB and control samples, differentially expressed retinoblastoma genes (DERBGs) were acquired. A gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and a kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were conducted to explore the functions of these DERBGs. To study the protein interactions of DERBGs, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. Hub DERBGs were screened using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, as well as the random forest (RF) algorithm. Additionally, the diagnostic performance of RF and LASSO methods was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and single-gene gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted to explore the potential molecular mechanisms involved with these Hub DERBGs. In addition, the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network of Hub DERBGs was constructed. RESULT About 133 DERBGs were found to be associated with RB. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that the important pathways of these DERBGs. Furthermore, the PPI network revealed 82 DERBGs interacting with each other. By RF and LASSO methods, PDE8B, ESRRB, and SPRY2 were identified as Hub DERBGs in patients with RB. From the expression assessment of Hub DERBGs, it was found that the levels of expression of PDE8B, ESRRB, and SPRY2 were significantly decreased in the tissues of RB tumors. Secondly, single-gene GSEA revealed a connection between these 3 Hub DERBGs and oocyte meiosis, cell cycle, and spliceosome. Finally, the ceRNA regulatory network revealed that hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-146b-5p, hsa-miR-665, and hsa-miR-188-5p may play a central role in the disease. CONCLUSION Hub DERBGs may provide new insight into RB diagnosis and treatment based on the understanding of disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
The microalgae-based system attracts more attention in wastewater treatment for high quality effluent, low carbon emission, and resource utilization. Light is the key factor for algae growth, but the light masking in sewage will cause low efficiency of the system. This study designed laboratory scale experiments with Chlorella to investigate the influence of cerium on the nutrient removal by algae wastewater treatment system under different light intensities. The best removal rates of NH4-N, TP, and COD were 72.43%, 88.87%, and 68.08% under 50 µmol/(m 2·s) light intensity and 1 mg/L Ce. Low concentration of Ce could activate protein synthesis, electron transfer, and antioxidase, while excessive Ce might cause toxicity which could be relieved by strong light for energy supply and further activating superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Comparing to other similar experiences, this system reached an equal or greater performance on nutrients removal with better efficiency in light utilization. It might provide a new idea for microalgae-based system development.

Abstract
Background Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) has been regarded as an important cause of atherosclerotic disease. In our study, we set out to investigate whether CIH regulated the high mobility group box 1/receptor for advanced glycation endproducts/NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (HMGB1/RAGE/NLRP3) axis to affect the progression of atherosclerosis. Methods and Results Initially, peripheral blood samples were collected from patients with single obstructive sleep apnea, atherosclerosis complicated with obstructive sleep apnea, and healthy volunteers. In vitro cell experiments were conducted using human monocyte cell line THP-1 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells to explore the role of HMGB1 in cell migration, apoptosis, adhesion, and transendothelial migration. In addition, a CIH-induced atherosclerosis mouse model was established for further identifying the critical role of the HMGB1/RAGE/NLRP3 axis in atherosclerosis. Upregulated HMGB1 and RAGE were found in patients with atherosclerosis complicated with obstructive sleep apnea. CIH induction increased HMGB1 expression by inhibiting HMGB1 methylation, activating the RAGE/NLRP3 axis. After inhibition of the HMGB1/RAGE/NLRP3 axis, monocyte chemotaxis and adhesion were repressed, and macrophage-derived foam cell formation was inhibited, accompanied by suppression of endothelial and foam cell apoptosis and inflammatory factor secretion. In vivo animal experiments also noted that the progression of atherosclerosis was prevented by inhibition of the HMGB1/RAGE/NLRP3 axis in CIH-induced ApoE-/- mice. Conclusions Taken together, CIH induction can upregulate HMGB1 through inhibition of HMGB1 methylation, which activates the RAGE/NLRP3 axis to promote inflammatory factor secretion, thereby promoting the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a challenging clinical syndrome that leads to various respiratory sequelae and even high mortality in patients with severe disease. The novel pharmacological strategies and therapeutic drugs are urgently needed. Natural products have played a fundamental role and provided an abundant pool in drug discovery. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH A compound library containing 160 natural products was used to screen potential anti-inflammatory compounds. Mice with LPS-induced ALI was then used to verify the preventive and therapeutic effects of the selected compounds. KEY RESULTS Licochalcone A was discovered from the anti-inflammatory screening of natural products in macrophages. A qPCR array validated the inflammation-regulatory effects of licochalcone A and indicated that the potential targets of licochalcone A may be the upstream proteins in LPS pro-inflammatory signalling. Further studies showed that licochalcone A directly binds to myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD2), an assistant protein of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), to block both LPS-induced TRIF- and MYD88-dependent pathways. LEU61 and PHE151 in MD2 protein are the two key residues that contribute to the binding of MD2 to licochalcone A. In vivo, licochalcone A treatment alleviated ALI in LPS-challenged mice through significantly reducing immunocyte infiltration, suppressing activation of TLR4 pathway and inflammatory cytokine induction. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS In summary, our study identified MD2 as a direct target of licochalcone A for its anti-inflammatory activity and suggested that licochalcone A might serve as a novel MD2 inhibitor and a potential drug for developing ALI/ARDS therapy.

Abstract
Inspired by the signal transduction function of organophosphates in biological systems, bioactive organophosphates were utilized for the first time as chiral nodes to dictate the stereoselective assembly of hydrogen-bonded anionic cages. Phosphonomycin (antibiotics), tenofovir (antivirals), adenosine monophosphate (natural product, AMP) and clindamycin phosphate (antibiotics) were assembled with an achiral bis-monourea ligand, thereby leading to the stereoselective formation of quadruple or triple helicates. The extent of the stereoselectivity could be enhanced by either lowering the temperature or adding stronger-binding cations as templates. With the chiral anionic cages as the host, some enantioselectivity was achieved when binding chiral quaternary ammonium cations.

Abstract
As the intensive anti-tumour therapy and combination of multiple anti-tumour drugs, cardiotoxicity events caused by anti-tumour drugs have also increased significantly, and the incidence of cardiotoxicity also increased with survival time. Different types of anti-tumour drugs could cause all kinds of cardiotoxicity which increase the difficulties in treatment and even live threatening. In this review, we concentrated in the targeted anti-tumour drugs such as human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and proteasome inhibitors (Pls). The molecular mechanism of how these drugs induce cardiotoxicity is introduced which includes several signal pathways. These drugs induced cardiotoxicity involved heart failure, hypertension, atherosis and thrombosis, QT interval prolongation, and myocarditis. Some of the cardiotoxicity could be moderate and reversible but others could have happened severely.The aim of this review is to summarise the targeted anti-tumour drugs induced cardiotoxicity and treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histone deacetylases (HDAC) contribute to oncogenic program, pointing to their inhibitors as a potential strategy against cancers. We, thus, studied the mechanism of HDAC inhibitor ITF2357 in resistance of mutant (mut)-KRAS non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to pemetrexed (Pem). METHODS We first determined the expression of NSCLC tumorigenesis-related HDAC2 and Rad51 in NSCLC tissues and cells. Next, we illustrated the effect of ITF2357 on the Pem resistance in wild type-KARS NSCLC cell line H1299, mut-KARS NSCLC cell line A549 and Pem-resistant mut-KARS cell line A549R in vitro and in xenografts of nude mice in vivo. RESULTS Expression of HDAC2 and Rad51 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. Accordingly, it was revealed that ITF2357 downregulated HDAC2 expression to diminish the resistance of H1299, A549 and A549R cells to Pem. HDAC2 bound to miR-130a-3p to upregulate its target gene Rad51. The in vitro findings were reproduced in vivo, where ITF2357 inhibited the HDAC2/miR-130a-3p/Rad51 axis to reduce the resistance of mut-KRAS NSCLC to Pem. CONCLUSION Taken together, HDAC inhibitor ITF2357 restores miR-130a-3p expression by inhibiting HDAC2, thereby repressing Rad51 and ultimately diminishing resistance of mut-KRAS NSCLC to Pem. Our findings suggested HDAC inhibitor ITF2357 as a promising adjuvant strategy to enhance the sensitivity of mut-KRAS NSCLC to Pem.
