Abstract
BACKGROUND Resection and strictureplasty are the two surgical modalities used in the management of Crohn's disease (CD). The objective of this study was to compare morbidity and clinical recurrence between patients who underwent strictureplasty and patients who underwent resection. METHODS Patients with CD who underwent strictureplasty between January 2012 and December 2022 were enrolled. The patients were well matched with patients who underwent resection without strictureplasty. Patient- and disease-specific characteristics, postoperative morbidity, and clinical recurrence were also analyzed. RESULTS A total of 118 patients who underwent a total of 192 strictureplasties were well matched to 118 patients who underwent resection. The strictureplasty group exhibited significantly less blood loss (30 ml versus 50 ml, p < 0.001) and stoma creation (2.5% versus 16.9%, p < 0.001). No significant difference was found regarding postoperative complications or length of postoperative stay. At the end of the follow-up, the overall rate of clinical recurrence was 39.4%, and no difference was observed between the two groups. Postoperative prophylactic use of biologics (odds ratio = 0.2, p < 0.001) was the only protective factor against recurrence. CONCLUSION Strictureplasty does not increase the risk of complications or recurrence compared with resection. It represents a viable alternative to resection in selected patients, and as such, it should have a broader scope of indications and greater acceptance among surgeons.

Abstract
The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is associated with donor site morbidity. This study aimed to quantify the functional and aesthetic outcomes after closure of the RFFF donor site using triangular full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) harvested adjacent to the flap or traditional split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs). The study included patients who underwent oral cavity reconstruction with an RFFF between March 2017 and August 2021. The patients were divided into two groups based on the donor site closure method: FTSG or STSG. The primary outcomes were biomechanical grip strength, pinch strength, and range of wrist movements. Subjective donor site morbidity, aesthetic and functional results were also analysed. The study included 75 patients (FTSG n = 35; STSG n = 40). Postoperatively, there was a statistically significant difference in grip strength (P = 0.049) and wrist extension (P = 0.047) between the FTSG and STSG groups, in favour of the STSG. Differences between the groups in pinch strength and other wrist motions were not statistically significant. The harvesting time was significantly shorter for the FTSG (P = 0.041) and the appearance of the donor site was better (P = 0.026) when compared to the STSG. Cold intolerance was more frequent in the STSG group (32.5% STSG vs 6.7% FTSG; P = 0.017). Subjective function, numbness, pain, hypertrophic scar, itching, and social stigma did not differ significantly between the groups. Compared with the STSG, the FTSG showed better cosmesis and avoided additional donor sites, with clinically negligible differences in hand biomechanics.

Abstract
Species diversity indices provide quantitative data for understanding the variations and trends in fish species diversity, as well as information on species richness and evenness. However, these diversity indices do not reflect differences in specific taxa, which can be of importance as key conservation targets, especially during the planning and construction of protected areas. In this study, simultaneously combining our improved traditional fish fauna analysis (TFFA) with the value of fish fauna presence (VFFP) methods, we studied fish diversity in the Salween and Irrawaddy basins. The results of the TFFA reflected the families (subfamilies) and genera that constitute the main body of fish diversity in the river basins. The results of the VFFP assessment showed which families (subfamilies) and genera were representative of certain characteristics in the basins. The VFFP scores of genera could be used as indicator indices and as priority taxa in the planning and construction of fish resource reserves. In this paper, we propose for the first time that the role and status of monotypic genera (genera comprising only a single species) in the conservation of fish diversity should not be ignored, and they should rather be a priority for protection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES National-level data on the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in different regions of China is insufficient. This study aimed to compare ROP incidences and care practices in different regions of China and their relationship with regional gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS All infants born at <32 weeks gestational age (GA) and admitted to 70 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020, were enrolled. Hospitals were categorised into three regional groups according to geographical locations and GDP per capita from high to low: Eastern, Central, and Western China. The incidence of death or ROP, and care practices were compared among the groups. RESULTS A total of 18,579 infants were enrolled. Median GA was 29.9 (interquartile range 28.4-31.0) weeks and birth weight was 1318.1 (317.2) g. The percentage of GA <28 weeks, complete administration of antenatal steroids, and weight gain velocity during NICU stay were highest in Eastern China and lowest in Western China (all P < 0.01). In Eastern, Central, and Western China, the rates of death or any stage of ROP were 33.3%, 38.5%, and 39.2%, respectively (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS There were considerable regional disparities in ROP incidence in preterm infants with GA <32 weeks in China. The incidence of death or ROP ranged from high to low in Western, Central, and Eastern China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive reserve (CR) shows protective effects on cognitive function in older adult and in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the brain mechanisms underlying the CR effect on the non-dementia AD spectrum (subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI)) are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential moderate effect of CR on brain functional networks associated with cognitive performance. METHODS We selected 200 participants, including 48 cognitively normal (CN) and 56 SCD, and 96 patients with MCI from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Seed-based locus coeruleus functional connectivity (LC FC) was conducted to detect early brain functional changes in the non-dementia AD spectrum. CR was assessed via years of education and intelligence (IQ). The ANDI composite executive function scores (ADNI-EF) and ADNI composite memory scores (ANDI-MEM) at baseline and 24-month follow-up were used to assess cognitive performance. RESULTS Compared to the CN group, the SCD group showed abnormal LC FC with the executive control network (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, DLPFC), salience network, sensorimotor network, reward network, and hippocampus, while these alterations were inverted at the MCI stage. The LC-hippocampus FC was correlated with ADNI-MEM at baseline and follow-up, and these relationships were moderated by education. The LC-DLPFC FC was correlated with ADNI-EF at baseline, and this association was moderated by IQ. CONCLUSION Our results manifested that higher levels of CR would confer protective effects on SCD and MCI. Furthermore, IQ and education could moderate the relationship between LC FC and cognition through different pathways.

Abstract
Tea polyphenols were used as substrates and oxidized successively by polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase to prepare theabrownins (TBs-dE). The conversion rate of catechins to TBs-dE was 90.91%. The ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopic properties and zeta potential of TBs-dE were characterized. TBs-dE is more stable at pH 5.0-7.0, about 25 °C or in dark environment. Ultraviolet light and sunlight can deepen its color due to the further oxidative polymerization. Mg2+, Cu2+, and Al3+ had a significant effect on the stability of TBs-dE. The inhibitory rates of TBs-dE (1 mg/mL) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli DH5α were 51.45% and 45.05%, respectively. After TBs-dE treatment, the cell morphology of both bacteria changed, some cell walls were blurred, and the cytoplasmic content leaked. The research results can provide theoretical support for the industrialization of theabrownins.

Abstract
This work was devised to discuss the effect of AIM2 on the immunosuppression of LUAD tumors, as well as its molecular mechanism. An allograft mouse model was built. Mouse macrophages were isolated and collected. The infiltration level of Mø and expression of M1 Mø, M2 Mø markers, and PD-L1 were assayed by IHC and flow cytometry. Expression levels of M1 Mø and M2 Mø marker genes and PD-L1 were detected by qPCR. The expression of proteins linked with JAK/STAT3 was tested by western blot. CD8+T cells and NK cells were activated in vitro and co-cultured with mouse macrophages, and their cytotoxicity was detected by LDH method. The proportion of CD206+PD-L1+ cells and the activation and proliferation of CD8+T cells were assayed by flow cytometry. Multicolor immunofluorescence was utilized to assay the co-localization of proteins. AIM2 demonstrated a high expression in LUAD, exhibiting a conspicuous positive correlation with the expression of the M2 Mø markers as well as PD-L1. Expression of M1 markers was upregulated after knockdown of AIM2, while M2 markers expression and PD-L1 were downregulated, and the colocalization of proteins linked with PD-L1 and M2 Mø was decreased. The infiltration and cytotoxicity of CD8+T cells and NK cells increased after silencing AIM2. After the knockdown of AIM2, which was enriched in the JAK/STAT3 pathway, the phosphorylation levels of JAK1, JAK2, and STAT3 were reduced, the immune infiltration level of CD8+T cells increased, and the co-localization level of PD-L1 and PD-1 dropped. The activity and proliferation level of CD8+T cells were increased with the reduced PD-1 expression. AIM2 fosters M2 Mø polarization and PD-L1 expression via the JAK/STAT3 pathway. Moreover, AIM2 promotes the immune escape of LUAD via the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. Our work may blaze a trail for the clinical treatment of LUAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Protein-energy malnutrition poses a serious medical problem worldwide. This study aims to describe the global burden, trends, and health inequalities of protein-energy malnutrition and forecasts for future prevalence. STUDY DESIGN This was a comprehensive analysis based on data provided by the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. METHODS Data were obtained from the Global Health Data Exchange query tool, including prevalence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and sociodemographic index (SDI). The estimated annual percentage changes were calculated to evaluate temporal trends. We quantified cross-country inequalities in protein-energy malnutrition burden and predicted the prevalence number and rate to 2044. RESULTS Globally, there were 147,672,757 (130,405,923 to 167,471,359) cases of protein-energy malnutrition in 2019, with 212,242 (185,403 to 246,217) deaths. Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest age-standardised death and DALY rates in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the global age-standardised prevalence rate of protein-energy malnutrition showed an upward trend, while the age-standardised death rate showed a downward trend. A significant decline occurred in SDI-related health inequality, from 2126.1 DALYs per 100,000 persons between the poorest and richest countries in 1990 to 357.9 DALYs per 100,000 persons in 2019. There was a trend of decreasing age-standardised death and DALY rates along with increases in the SDI. Frontier analyses showed that there is much room for improving the current situation of protein-energy malnutrition in some countries. In the next 35 years, the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition will continue to increase. CONCLUSION Although the disease burden of protein-energy malnutrition has greatly decreased since 1990 and health inequalities between countries are shrinking, the prevalence in Asian and African countries may continue to increase. Focussing on regional differences and strengthening the nutritional intake of people in underdeveloped areas are necessary to reduce future burdens.

Abstract
Dental caries is the most common oral disease and the most common cause of resin restorations. In minimally invasive dentistry, the principle behind cavity preparation is to remove external caries-infected dentin (CID) and preserve internal caries-affected dentin (CAD) and sound dentin (SD). The cavity floor is mainly composed of CAD, but the poor bonding performance of CAD has become a widespread concern. This study evaluated the performance of a new collagen-reactive monomer (ITCM) used as a primer to improve the bonding performance of CAD. The experimental specimens were grouped as follows: SD, CAD, and ITCM-pretreated CAD (CAD-ITCM). Dentin slices were obtained for attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) analysis. The bonded samples were subjected to microtensile bond strength analysis after 24 h of water storage or aging by thermocycling, and the bonding interface quality was evaluated by nanoleakage assessment, interfacial nanoindentation testing, and in situ zymography. Cytotoxicity experiments with ITCM were performed. ATR-FTIR showed that the isocyanate groups in ITCM can covalently bind and form hydrogen bonds with the collagen in CAD to mediate chemical bonding. ITCM pretreatment significantly improved the bond strength of CAD (P < 0.05), reduced interfacial nanoleakage, improved the sealing of the bonding interface, enhanced the homogeneity of the hybrid layer, and inhibited matrix metalloproteinase activity. In addition, ITCM presented acceptable biocompatibility for dental restorative application. Taken together, this study reported the application of ITCM to induce collagen-based chemical bonding in the CAD bonding system, which fills the gap in strategies to improve the bonding performance of CAD immediately and after aging and has important clinical application prospects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The American Heart Association (AHA) has recently updated and enhanced the quantification of cardiovascular health by using the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score. We intended to examine the correlation between cardiovascular health status, as measured by the new LE8 score, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in US adults. STUDY DESIGN National cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 24,730 individuals without pregnancy and with complete data from 2007 to 2018 enrolled in the study. The overall LE8 score was divided into low, moderate, and high groups. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to assess the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between the LE8 score and the presence of CVD. RESULTS Overall, the high LE8 group had a younger age (20-59 years, 82.95%) and more females (60.09%) compared to the low LE8 group. Moderate and high LE8 correlated negatively with the presence of CVD (moderate, OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.39-0.54; high, OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.21-0.33). One standard deviation increment in the LE8 score correlated significantly with lower odds of CVD (OR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.60-0.69). Further stratification analysis also detected a significant relationship between the new LE8 score and CVD, and the result was enhanced among the young and women (P-interaction<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Higher LE8 score correlated with lower odds of CVD, especially among the young and women.

Abstract
Current static speckle suppression methods have an extremely large system size and unsatisfactory performance. This study proposes a device called beam-splitting cavity (BSC) and establishes a model of speckle suppression based on the combination of BSC and a liquid-core fiber. Subsequently, a passive static speckle suppression system is constructed and the key factors affecting the speckle contrast are studied. Consequently, the speckle contrast was reduced from 30.2% to 3.1%, which is below the human-eye speckle-discrimination limit (<4%). The scheme consists entirely of passive optical elements, which are more applicable to projectors than the traditional static and dynamic speckle-suppression methods.

Abstract
The regionalized pressure relief, permeability enhancement, and outburst prevention of "three high and one low" coal seams with high gas, high ground stress, high outburst risk, and low permeability have become important problems to be solved urgently in realizing the sustainable development of coal mines. In this study, a combination of theoretical research, RFPA2D-Flow numerical simulation, and field test was used to study the initiation mechanism and propagation law of directional hydraulic fracturing fractures through the seam. The results show that fracture initiation depends on the axial and radial horizontal stress of the fracture hole, the physical and mechanical properties of coal and rock, and the inside of the weakest layer. Single-hole hydraulic fracturing can achieve a pressure relief radius of 7-8 m, but there is a stress concentration zone outside, which is not conducive to regional pressure relief and permeability enhancement. Directional hydraulic fracturing with multiple holes produces an approximate cylindrical compression and crushing ring and a penetrating fracture surface along the center line of the pressure crack hole and the directional hole, which better eliminates the phenomenon of stress concentration in nondirectional hydraulic fracturing. The technology was applied to the 2238 auxiliary roadway of Chengzhuang Mine of Jinmei Group, and the field implementation results showed that field implementation results showed that directional hydraulic fracturing through the seam reduced the gas content in the coal seam to a great extent, and the coal seam gas content was reduced by about 42.3%, indicating that the technology can effectively reduce the risk of coal and gas outbursts.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate adolescent pelvic coronal inclination angle change after flatfoot treated with arthroereisis. Method: A case-series study. From June 2018 to September 2020, 25 children with flexible flat foot and pelvic obliquity were included in this retrospective study in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital. There were 17 males and 8 females with a mean age of (11.2±2.2) years (9-15 years). There were 5 cases of unilateral flatfoot and 20 cases of bilateral flatfoot. All of the patients were surgically treated with arthroereisis. Regular follow-up was done in 3 months, 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Weightbearing fluoroscopy of entire lower limb and foot were investigated to measure Meary's angle, calcaneal pitch angle, height difference at ankle and pelvic plane, pelvic inclination and sacrum-iliac distance (F value) on coronal plane. Results: The mean Mearys' angle at 3 month postoperatively was improved when compared with that before the operation (3.1°±1.5° vs 25.9°±4.3°, P<0.001), and it remained at the same level 2 years after the operation (compared with that at 1 year after the operation, P=0.748). The calcaneal pitch angle improved significantly at 3-month follow-up when compared with that before the operation (16.6°±2.4° vs 9.9°±1.5°, P<0.001), and there was no significant change between 1 year and 2 years after operation (P=0.542). The height difference at mortise plane were also reduced at the 3-month follow-up(P<0.001), and it remained at the same level at 1 year and 2 years after the operation (P=0.159). Pelvic height difference decreased dramatically from (12.4±1.7) mm (before operation) to (7.1±1.2) mm(3 month after the operation) (P<0.001), it decreased to (3.6±1.8) mm 1 year after the operation (compared with that at 3 months after the operation, P<0.001), and no further reduction was observed 2 years after the surgery (P=0.483). The pelvic inclination angle and sacrum-iliac distance were also improved at 3-month follow-up when compared with those before the operation (both P<0.001), and they declined further 1 year after the operation(both P<0.05), but the decreasing trend disappeared at the 2-year follow-up (both P>0.05). Conclusion: For adolescent flexible flat foot patients with pelvic obliquity, the coronal inclination and pelvic height discrepancy would partially recovered with correction of flatfoot deformity, but it could not be completely corrected in the mean follow-up period of 2 years after the operation.

Abstract
A transparent film integrating antifouling, antifogging, and antibacterial properties is crucial for its application as a protective mask, goggles, or lens. Herein, applying dynamic injection molding coupled with a bionic gradient template, a fast and efficient method is proposed for the preparation of the bionic polystyrene surface (BNPPS) with a cicada wing-inspired nanopillar structure. The contact angle of the BNPPS film increases continuously along the wing vein, while the sliding angle decreases continuously, mimicking the gradient wetting state of a cicada wing and providing excellent self-propelled removal properties for tiny water droplets. Notably, the BNPPS film has a transmittance higher than 90% and a reflectivity lower than 5% in the visible light range. Dyeing water, milk, juice, cola, and ink can slide smoothly from the BNPPS film surface without leaving any residue. Importantly, the nanopillars on the BNPPS film surface can penetrate and kill most of the Escherichia coli within 20 min. Therefore, the prepared BNPPS film with sufficient mechanical strength gathers the unique properties of the cicada wing together. The proposed research is expected to offer valuable guidance for fabricating self-cleaning, antifogging, and antibacterial optical devices that could be utilized in medical and vision systems operating in harsh environments.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The increasing incidence of keloid has seriously affected people's physical and mental health, and the postoperative recurrence rate is as high as 50-80%. Postoperative radiotherapy has been shown to significantly reduce the recurrence of keloid. Given the different treatment patterns in different institutions, we tried to analyze the data of patients in our center. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 455 patients with 498 keloids treated in our institution from 2010 to 2017. All patients received a four-fraction electron radiotherapy with single dose of 4 Gy within 24 hours of surgery. The recurrence and adverse reaction of immediate adjuvant radiotherapy in these patients was evaluated. RESULTS At the last follow-up date, 130 (26.5%) keloids had recurred after a middle follow-up of 68.1 months (42.6-129.9 months). The recurrence rates of 1 year, 3 years and 5 years were respectively14.5%, 18.7% and 21%. Recurrence rates vary depending on the keloid location. Among them, the recurrence rate of ear was low with 14% (43/298). Face, head neck and limbs was moderate with 38.8% (17/44) and 33.3% (8/24). Chest and Suprapubic region had a high recurrence rate of 50.8% (32/64) and 47.8% (33/69). Among the patients with recurrence, 16.9% (22/130) felt that their symptoms were better than before treatment, and 37.7% (49/130) were not worsen, which was acceptable. Multivariate analysis showed that age and duration of postoperative pruritus pain were correlated with recurrence (P = 0.036; P = 0.02). Radiotherapy combined with steroid and silicone reduced the recurrence rate compared with radiotherapy alone (P = 0.015). During treatment and follow-up, Infection occurred in 2 patients and cutaneous fibroblastoma in 1 patient. CONCLUSION Our radiotherapy regimen can effectively reduce the recurrence rate and improve the symptoms of patients with keloids, especially ear keloids. High recurrence sites need further improvement of radiotherapy dose and fraction. Combination of multiple treatments is better than single treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Although adding consolidative stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to systemic therapy improves survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the optimal timing of SBRT remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the clinical outcome of early and delayed SBRT to primary lung lesions of advanced NSCLC patients treated with first-line systemic therapy. MATERIALS/METHODS We identified patients with advanced NSCLC who were suitable to receiveSBRT for the primary lung tumors after first-line systemic therapy. All eligible patients were treated with first-line systemic therapy and SBRT for their primary lung lesions. Early SBRT group was defined as patients who received SBRT for their primary lung tumor at the maximal response of systemic therapy. Delayed SBRT group was defined as patients who received SBRT after the occurrence of oligoprogression in primary lung tumor. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival 1 (PFS1, time from start of first-line systemic therapy to disease progression) and PFS2 (time from start of first-line systemic therapy to disease progression after SBRT). Overall survival (OS) and adverse effects (AEs) were secondary endpoints. A two-sided P value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All of the statistical analyses were performed with statistical software. RESULTS A total of184 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with SBRT for primary tumors were screened, and 49 patients were eligible for enrollment in this study. The median age of the entire cohort was 66 years (range, 37-80 years), and 34 (69.4%) patients were male. Thirty-four patients (69.4%) were treated by target therapy and 15 (30.6%) were treated by chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Of the 49 eligible patients, 28(57.1%) received early SBRT to lung primary tumor and 21(42.9%) received delayed SBRT to lung primary tumor. The early SBRT group showed a significantly prolonged PFS1 as compared with the delayed SBRT group (mPFS1: 30 months vs. 8 months, P<0.001). The median PFS2 of the early SBRT group was longer than that of the delayed SBRT group, but the difference between the two groups did not achieve a statistical significance (mPFS2: 42 months vs. 23 months, P = 0.303). Median OS of both groups has not reached. No severe toxicities (≥grade 3) were observed in early SBRT group and only one patient in the delayed SBRT group experienced grade 3 radiation pneumonitis. CONCLUSION Early SBRT to the primary lung lesion significantly improved PFS and is a new potentially effective and tolerable treatment option for patients with advanced NSCLC who had stable disease during first-line systemic therapy.

Abstract
Miniaturized and pure static devices are expected to be used in laser-imaging systems for speckle reduction. In this study, a pure static device based on polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC) doped with Ag nanowires was developed to effectively suppress laser speckles. The concentrations of the polymer and Ag nanowires in the PSLC were optimized, and then the PSLC devices were fabricated. A measurement system was set up to characterize the electro-optical properties of the fabricated PSLC devices. Subsequently, a laser projection system was built to demonstrate the speckle-reduction performance. Moreover, the degree of scattering and response time of the developed PSLC devices were investigated and discussed. A PSLC doped with 0.02 wt% Ag nanowires and 3 wt% polymer having a device size of 2 × 2 × 0.1 cm3 was demonstrated to produce a speckle-reduction efficiency of 51.4 % under very low driving voltages. The experimental results verified effectiveness and superiority of the developed speckle reduction method based on PSLC doped with Ag nanowires.

Abstract
Aging, often considered a result of random cellular damage, can be accurately estimated using DNA methylation profiles, the foundation of pan-tissue epigenetic clocks. Here, we demonstrate the development of universal pan-mammalian clocks, using 11,754 methylation arrays from our Mammalian Methylation Consortium, which encompass 59 tissue types across 185 mammalian species. These predictive models estimate mammalian tissue age with high accuracy (r > 0.96). Age deviations correlate with human mortality risk, mouse somatotropic axis mutations and caloric restriction. We identified specific cytosines with methylation levels that change with age across numerous species. These sites, highly enriched in polycomb repressive complex 2-binding locations, are near genes implicated in mammalian development, cancer, obesity and longevity. Our findings offer new evidence suggesting that aging is evolutionarily conserved and intertwined with developmental processes across all mammals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies revealed that tooth loss or edentulism was related to mortality. However, research in developing countries with large numbers of elderly populations is rare, and whether sex differences exist in this relationship is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between edentulism and 7-year all-cause mortality among older adults in China and whether sex differences existed. STUDY DESIGN This was a prospective cohort study. METHODS Data were from 2011 to 2018 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A total of 6538 participants aged ≥60 years were included. Logistic models were adopted to estimate the risks of mortality according to edentulism. RESULTS The participants with edentulism at baseline were 20% more likely to die over 7 years after controlling for a set of covariates (odds ratio [OR] = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.42). Moreover, edentulism was associated with a 35% higher odds of death among male participants (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.08-1.70), whereas a significant association was not found in female participants. CONCLUSIONS The findings demonstrated that baseline edentulism predicted all-cause mortality in Chinese older adults, and sex differences existed in this association. This study implied the importance of developing oral health education programs, incorporating dietary recommendations into dental care for edentulous patients, and expanding the coverage of dental services in the health insurance system to prevent edentulism and alleviate its negative outcomes for older adults.

Abstract
Objective: To explore a method for digitally designing and fabricating a sequential tooth-sectioning guide that can assist in the extraction of mandibular horizontal impacted third molars, preliminarily evaluate its feasibility and provide a reference for clinical application. Methods: Twenty patients with mandibular low level impacted third molars who visited the Department of General Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from March 2021 to January 2022 were selected. Cone-beam CT showed direct contact between the roots and mandibular canal, and full range impressions of the patients' intraoral teeth were taken and optical scans of the dental model were performed. The patients' cone-beam CT data and optical scan data were reconstructed in three dimensions, anatomical structure extraction, registration fusion, and the design of the structure of the guide (including crown-sectioning guide and root-sectioning guide) by Mimics 24.0, Geomagic Wrap 2021, and Magics 21.0 software, and then the titanium guide was three dimension printed, and the guide was tried on the dental model. After confirmation, the guide was used to assist the dentist in the operation. We observed whether the guide was in place, the number of tooth splitting, the matching of tooth splitting with the preoperative design, the operation time, and whether there were any complications. Results: In this study, 20 sectioning guides were successfully printed, all of them were well fitted in the patients' mouth, the average number of section was 3.4 times, the tooth parts was better matched with the preoperative design, and the average operative time of the guides was (29.2±9.8) minutes without complications such as perforation of the bone cortex. Conclusions: The use of sequential sectioning guides to assist in the extraction of mandibular impacted third molars was initially validated to accurately replicate the preoperative sectioning design, and is expected to provide a digital solution to improve surgical precision and ensure safety. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to evaluate its accuracy and safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of quercetin against testicular oxidative damage induced by a mixture of 3 commonly used phthalates (MPEs) in rats. METHODS Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, MPEs exposure group, and MPEs with low-, median- and high-dose quercetin treatment groups. For MPEs exposure, the rats were subjected to intragastric administration of MPEs at the daily dose of 900 mg/kg for 30 consecutive days; Quercetin treatments were administered in the same manner at the daily dose of 10, 30, and 90 mg/kg. After the treatments, serum levels of testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and testicular malondialdeyhde (MDA), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected, and testicular pathologies of the rats were observed with HE staining. The expressions of nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), Kelch-like ECH2 associated protein 1 (Keap1) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) in the testis were detected using immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the rats with MPEs exposure showed significant reductions of the anogenital distance, weight of the testis and epididymis, and the coefficients of the testis and epididymis with lowered serum testosterone, LH and FSH levels (P < 0.05). Testicular histological examination revealed atrophy of the seminiferous tubules, spermatogenic arrest, and hyperplasia of the Leydig cells in MPEs-exposed rats. MPEs exposure also caused significant increments of testicular Nrf2, MDA, SOD, CAT and HO-1 expressions and lowered testicular Keap1 expression (P < 0.05). Treatment with quercetin at the median and high doses significantly ameliorated the pathological changes induced by MPEs exposure (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Quercetin treatment inhibits MPEs-induced oxidative testicular damage in rats possibly by direct scavenging of free radicals to lower testicular oxidative stress and restore the regulation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The integration of fog collection and solar-driven evaporation has great significance in addressing the challenge of the global freshwater crisis. Herein, a micro/nanostructured polyethylene/carbon nanotubes foam with interconnected open-cell structure (MN-PCG) is fabricated using an industrialized micro extrusion compression molding technology. The 3D surface micro/nanostructure provides sufficient nucleation points for tiny water droplets to harvest moisture from humid air and a fog harvesting efficiency of 1451 mg cm-2 h-1 is achieved at night. The homogeneously dispersed carbon nanotubes and the graphite oxide@carbon nanotubes coating endow the MN-PCG foam with excellent photothermal properties. Benefitting from the excellent photothermal property and sufficient steam escape channels, the MN-PCG foam attains a superior evaporation rate of 2.42 kg m-2 h-1 under 1 Sun illumination. Consequently, a daily yield of ≈35 kg m-2 is realized by the integration of fog collection and solar-driven evaporation. Moreover, the robust superhydrophobicity, acid/alkali tolerance, thermal resistance, and passive/active de-icing properties provide a guarantee for the long-term work of the MN-PCG foam during practical outdoor applications. The large-scale fabrication method for an all-weather freshwater harvester offers an excellent solution to address the global water scarcity.

Abstract
The detector bandwidth and photosensitive surface aperture are the key parameters in the high-precision and high-definition scanning 3D imaging LIDAR system, which usually require a high detector bandwidth and large photosensitive surface aperture. In order to solve the problem of a high bandwidth and small photosensitive surface of existing InGaAs detectors, this paper proposes a beam splitting method using a pair of quadrangular prisms to realize beam splitting the reception of return laser beams, which increases both the receiving field of view (FOV) and the effective photosensitive surface of the detector. The principle and structure of the prism beam splitter are discussed; a beam splitting receiving optical system with a pair of quadrangular prisms is presented, and the beam splitting effect verified by its simulation experiment is analyzed. With this novel, to the best of our knowledge, light splitting receiving method, the receiving FOV can be effectively increased to ±5∘, and the effective photosensitive surface aperture of the detector can be increased from 0.5 to 1.0 mm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Research on the correlation between Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) and stroke is limited. Patients with high body mass index (BMI), as a high-risk group for stroke, require attention. Therefore, we aimed to examine the interactive effects of dietary inflammation and BMI on the risk of stroke among adults in the United States. METHODS AND RESULTS Overall, 9,384 participants were included in this study. The exposure variable was the DII, which was calculated based on the overall inflammatory effect score, and the outcome was stroke. Overall, there was a positive relationship between DII (as a continuous variable) and stroke. Increased level of DII was significantly associated with increased risk of stroke (odds ratio [OR]: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06-1.38), which was enhanced by higher BMI (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.15-1.58) with significant additive interactions. There was a significant secondary interaction of copresence of BMI ≥25 kg/m2, systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg, and high DII for increased stroke, with a further increase in OR to 1.41 (1.19-1.67). CONCLUSIONS This cross-sectional study shows that the relationship between higher DII levels and the significant increase in stroke prevalence was further amplified in patients with SBP ≥140 mmHg and higher BMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty may increase the risk of adverse outcomes and the presence of comorbidities in hypertension. Understanding the prevalence of frailty in older adults with hypertension is of great importance, whereas estimates of the prevalence of frailty in this population vary greatly. OBJECTIVES A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence of frailty and prefrailty among community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, and to examine the risk factors associated with (pre)frailty in this population. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched from the inception to May 10, 2023. Investigators assessed eligibility, extracted data, and evaluated methodological quality. The pooled prevalence of frailty and prefrailty was calculated using the random-effects model. Meta-regression analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to explore sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis was undertaken by the leave-one-out method and by removing studies with moderate/high risk of bias. The Mantel-Haenszel or inverse variance method was used to estimate risk factors of frailty. RESULTS A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria, involving 185,249 participants. The pooled prevalence in older adults with hypertension was 23% (95% CI 0.09-0.36) for frailty and 46% (95% CI 0.38-0.54) for prefrailty. The pooled prevalence of frailty was greater in studies with a higher proportion of females (24%, 95% CI 0.05-0.50), using multidimensional tools to define frailty (30%, 95% CI 0.10-0.51) and conducted in Western Pacific (27%, 95% CI 0.17-0.39). Age, female sex, depression, and previous hospitalizations were risk factors of frailty among older adults with hypertension. CONCLUSION Frailty and prefrailty are prevalent in community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, and limited risk factors are identified. This implicates the importance of frailty assessment integrated into the routine primary care for older adults with hypertension in community settings as well as the understanding of potential factors.

Abstract
Identifying causal factors for Mendelian and common diseases is an ongoing challenge in medical genetics1. Population bottleneck events, such as those that occurred in the history of the Finnish population, enrich some homozygous variants to higher frequencies, which facilitates the identification of variants that cause diseases with recessive inheritance2,3. Here we examine the homozygous and heterozygous effects of 44,370 coding variants on 2,444 disease phenotypes using data from the nationwide electronic health records of 176,899 Finnish individuals. We find associations for homozygous genotypes across a broad spectrum of phenotypes, including known associations with retinal dystrophy and novel associations with adult-onset cataract and female infertility. Of the recessive disease associations that we identify, 13 out of 20 would have been missed by the additive model that is typically used in genome-wide association studies. We use these results to find many known Mendelian variants whose inheritance cannot be adequately described by a conventional definition of dominant or recessive. In particular, we find variants that are known to cause diseases with recessive inheritance with significant heterozygous phenotypic effects. Similarly, we find presumed benign variants with disease effects. Our results show how biobanks, particularly in founder populations, can broaden our understanding of complex dosage effects of Mendelian variants on disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Fibrofatty plaque burden (FFB) is a high-risk, vulnerable plaque feature comprised of an atheromatous core and fibrous cap with increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) [1]. Psoriasis (PSO) is a chronic inflammatory disease linked with atherosclerotic risk and premature cardiovascular disease, driven in part by vulnerable plaque rupture [2,3]. Machine learning (ML) previously showed the prognostic value of FFB in predicting 5-year risk of cardiac-related mortality in patients with CAD [4]. Whether ML can predict FFB in psoriasis is understudied.
Purpose
To use ML to identify top determinants of FFB by CCTA in PSO.
Methods
320 consecutive participants with psoriasis were recruited as part of an ongoing cohort study, of whom 307 had FFB analyzed with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and quantified by QAngio CT (Medis, The Netherlands). 140 out of 182 potential determinants were subjected to ML algorithms analyzed by random forest and validated by 5-fold cross validation to select the top determinants based on R-square criteria. Lipid concentration and size were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and sdLDL-C was calculated by Sampson's formula.
Results
The top 21 determinants of FFB at baseline were grouped into 3 categories: cardiometabolic risk factors (BMI, sex, DBP, mean arterial pressure, exercise, heart rate, glucose, anxiety, psoriasis disease duration), clinical measurements (basophils, platelets, hemoglobin, RBC, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, creatinine, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio), and lipoproteins (LDL particle size, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B-to-A1 ratio, calculated sdLDL-C).
Conclusion
ML confirmed that FFB strongly correlates with cardiometabolic risk factors, clinical measurements, and lipoproteins. Further investigations into these top determinants of FFB over time may provide insight into potential therapeutic interventions that decrease cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases and should be validated in larger studies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The effectiveness of home-based resistance exercise in elder participants with osteoporosis remains unclear. This study demonstrates the beneficial effects of this mode of exercise on improving physical function, increasing confidence in exercise, and reducing fear of falling. INTRODUCTION This study aims to evaluate the effect of a home-based resistance exercise (HBRE) program versus control on physical function, exercise self-efficacy, falling efficacy, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). METHODS This randomized controlled trial included 72 elderly participants with osteoporosis. Participants in the intervention group received a 12-week HBRE program, and the control group received usual care. The primary outcome was physical function, including muscle strength and balance ability; secondary outcomes were exercise self-efficacy, falling efficacy, and HRQOL. Within-group and between-group changes in outcome were evaluated by t-test and rank-sum test. RESULTS A total of 68 subjects were included in the final analysis. Improvement in physical function was significantly greater in the HBRE group compared with controls. On a psychological level, exercise self-efficacy and falling efficacy improved significantly in the HBRE group; no significant change was observed in the control group. Most of the dimensions of HRQOL demonstrated improvements as well. The adherence was 85.29%, with no adverse events related to the exercise. CONCLUSION A 12-week HBRE program was safe non-pharmacological therapy for elderly participants with osteoporosis, improving physical function, exercise self-efficacy, reduced fear of falling, and improved HRQOL.

Abstract
Birth cohort is an important platform to study the effect of early-life exposure on health outcome, but large cohorts to investigate the effect of preconception exposure, especially paternal exposure, on reproductive health and birth outcome are limited. The Preconception Reproductive Health and Birth Outcome Cohort (PREBIC) is a prospective birth cohort study which pays equal attention to the contribution of environmental, psychological, behavioral as well as other factors to reproductive health and adverse birth outcomes in both men and women in Chongqing, China. PREBIC started in 2019 and plans to recruit 20 800 reproductive-age couples with child-bearing willingness. Followed up was conducted to understand the conception status of the women within two years. Women in pregnancy would be visited at first, second, third trimesters and after delivery. The offspring would be monitored until 2 years old to understand the incidences of preterm birth, low birth weight, birth defects, neurodevelopmental disorders and other outcomes. Related information and biospecimen collections (including semen, peripheral blood, urine, placenta, umbilical cord, cord blood and oral swab) were scheduled in each period. By January 2022, PREBIC had recruited 8 698 participants from all 38 districts in Chongqing. The goal of PREBIC is to establish one of the largest prospective preconception birth cohorts covering both men and women, which might provide a unique insight to understand the effects of the full reproductive cycle on reproductive health and adverse outcomes, with especial emphasis on preconception exposures.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the external root resorption of incisors caused by maxillary canine impaction, and to explore the changes of incisor external root resorption after orthodontic treatment. Methods: Twenty-four patients with impacted maxillary canines leading to external root resorption of incisors treated in Department of Orthodontics, Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, Nanjing Medical University from July 2011 to January 2019 were selected. The age ranged from 10 to 14 years [(12.3±1.6) years], including 11 males and 14 females. The maxillary incisors with external root resorption before treatment were included in the resorption group (21 central incisors and 22 lateral incisors), and the maxillary incisors without external root resorption were used as the control group (26 central incisors and 21 lateral incisors). Cone-beam CT was taken before treatment, immediately after treatment and one year after treatment. At the one year follow-up 15 patients were collected (10 central incisors and 12 lateral incisors in the resorption group, while 16 central incisors and 12 lateral incisors in the control group). The root length and tooth volume of maxillary incisors were measured and analyzed before canine traction, after canine traction finished and at the one year follow-up. Results: After the treatment of maxillary impacted canines, the root length and volume of the central and lateral incisors in both resorption group and control group were significantly less than that before treatment (P<0.05). At the one year follow-up, the root length and volume of the incisors (central incisors in the resorption group and the central and lateral incisors in control group) were significantly less than those immediately after impacted canine traction (P<0.05). During the canine traction, the difference of the volume change in lateral incisors between the resorption group [(17±6) mm3] and the control group [(12±5) mm3] was statistically significant (t=2.51, P<0.05). During the one year follow-up period, the difference between the changes of the root length in maxillary central incisors in the resorption group [(0.5±0.4) mm] and in the control group [(0.2±0.1) mm] was statistically significant (t=2.35, P<0.05). Conclusions: For maxillary incisors with external root resorption caused by impacted maxillary canines, the external root resorption could not stop immediately after the treatment of impacted canines. The root resorption in maxillary lateral incisors mainly occured during the traction process, while the root resorption in maxillary central incisors existed during the orthodontic treatment and in the follow-up period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial blood flow (MBF) can be quantified using dynamic PET studies. These studies also inherently contain tomographic images of early bolus displacement, which can provide cardiopulmonary transit times (CPTT) as measure of cardiopulmonary physiology. The aim of this study was to assess the incremental prognostic value of CPTT in heart transplant (OHT) recipients. METHODS 94 patients (age 56 ± 16 years, 78% male) undergoing dynamic 13N-ammonia stress/rest studies were included, of which 68 underwent right-heart catherization. A recently validated cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) score based on PET measures of regional perfusion, peak MBF and left-ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) was used to identify patients with no, mild or moderate-severe CAV. Time-activity curves of the LV and right ventricular (RV) cavities were obtained and used to calculate the difference between the LV and RV bolus midpoint times, which represents the CPTT and is expressed in heartbeats. Patients were followed for a median of 2.5 years for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure or acute coronary syndrome, or re-transplantation. RESULTS CPTT was significantly correlated with cardiac filling pressures (r = .434, P = .0002 and r = .439, P = .0002 for right atrial and pulmonary wedge pressure), cardiac output (r = - .315, P = .01) and LVEF (r = - .513, P < .0001). CPTT was prolonged in patients with MACE (19.4 ± 6.0 vs 14.5 ± 3.0 heartbeats, P < .001, N = 15) with CPTT ≥ 17.75 beats showing optimal discriminatory value in ROC analysis. CPTT ≥ 17.75 heartbeats was associated with a 10.1-fold increased risk (P < .001) of MACE and a 7.3-fold increased risk (P < .001) after adjusting for PET-CAV, age, sex and time since transplant. CONCLUSION Measurements of cardiopulmonary transit time provide incremental risk stratification in OHT recipients and enhance the value of multiparametric dynamic PET imaging, particularly in identifying high-risk patients.

Abstract
Theabrownins (TBs) are prepared from dark tea and contain a large number of complex heterogeneous components, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and flavonoids, which are difficult to remove. In addition, some toxic and harmful extraction solvents are used to purify TBs. These obstacles hinder the utilization and industrialization of TBs. In this study, tea polyphenols were used as substrates and polyphenol oxidase and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) were used successively to prepare theabrownins (TBs-E). The UV-visible characteristic absorption peaks of the TBs-E were located at 203 and 270 nm and Fourier-transform IR analysis showed that they were polymerized phenolic substances containing the hydroxy and carboxyl groups. The TBs-E aqueous solution was negatively charged and the absolute values of the zeta potential increased with increasing pH. A storage experiment showed that TBs-E were more stable at pH 7.0 and in low-temperature environments around 25°C. HT-29 human colon cancer cells were used to evaluate the biological activity of TBs-E through 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di- phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT), H&E staining, propidium iodide immunofluorescent staining, flow cytometry, and real-time PCR assays. The TBs-E significantly inhibited cell growth and caused late apoptosis, particularly at the dose of 500 μg/ml. The TBs-E markedly reduced the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes and increased the generation of reactive oxygen species to break the redox balance, which may have led to cell damage and death. These results will promote research and industrialization of TBs.

Abstract
Objective: To clarify the molecular basis of patients with Bartter syndrome type I and explore the therapeutic effect of trafficking-defective variations by chemical chaperone 4-Phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA). Methods: The clinical characteristics, laboratory findings and genetic data of 3 patients diagnosed with Bartter syndrome type I who were admitted to Department of Nephrology, Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2017 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Wild type and variant SLC12A1 gene constructs were transiently overexpressed in HEK293 cells. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of Na+-K+-2Cl-cotransporter(NKCC2) protein. Immunofluorescent staining was applied to investigate the subcellular localization of NKCC2 protein. In addition, the effect of the chemical chaperone 4-PBA on the expression and localization of the SLC12A1 gene variants was investigated. Unpaired t test was used for statistical analysis of 4-PBA treatment. Results: All the 3 patients (2 males and 1 female), aged 3.0, 4.0 and 1.2 years, respectively. All patients had antenatal onset with polyhydramnios and were born prematurely. After birth, all patients presented with hypochlorine alkalosis accompanied by hypokalemia and hyponatremia. Sequencing analysis revealed that the 3 patients were homozygotes or compound heterozygotes for variants in the SLC12A1 gene. In HEK293 cells, the surface expression of NKCC2 in 3 variants (p.L463S, p.L479V, p.507-510del) are all lower than in wild type (0.718±0.039, 0.287±0.081, 0.025±0.156 vs. 1.001±0.028, t=5.92, 8.35, 30.49, all P<0.01). Moreover, the total protein expression of p.L479V and p.507-510del group were all lower than that in wild type group (0.630±0.032, 0.043±0.003 vs. 1.000±0.111, t=3.21, 8.65, all P<0.05). 4-PBA treatment increased the mature protein expression level of the p.L463S and p. L479V group in 4-PBA treatment group are all higher than the untreated group (0.459±0.018 vs. 1.123±0.024, 0.053±0.012 vs. 1.256±0.037, t=2.75, 18.35, all P<0.05). Cytoplasmic retention of the L479V and 507-510del variants were observed by immunofluorescent staining. 4-PBA treatment could rescue a number of NKCC2 L479V variants to the membrane. Conclusions: The 3 SLC12A1 variants cause expression or subcellular localization defects of the protein. The findings that plasma membrane expression and activity can be rescued by 4PBA might help to develop novel therapeutic strategy for Bartter syndrome type Ⅰ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of long-term sores and ulcers of breast cancer metastatic recurrence is a serious challenge with successful cases rarely being documented. Herein we reported a successful case using the internal vitality supporting method of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). CASE SUMMARY A 59-year-old female Chinese patient, 10 years after breast cancer surgery, developed metastatic lesions in the lung. Thereafter she received radiofrequency ablation and adjuvant treatments for 1 year with severe sequelae, a right unhealed sore and ulcer. She became frustrated and depressive. And subsequently sought exclusive treatment under the guidance of a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) physician. The patient's condition was categorized as a Qi (or vitality) deficiency-related sore and ulcer. In the next six months, the patient still follows a traditional Chinese medicine therapeutic regimen based on the internal vitality supporting method of Chinese herbs. CONCLUSION The sore and ulcer from the surgical wound were healed. Up to now, the tumor markers have remained stable. TCM personalized survivorship treatment and psychosocial support can help patients improve their quality of life after acute treatment and in the long-term for cancer survivors.

Abstract
Durian is one of most popular fruits due to its nutritional values and unique flavor. Durian products have been continuously developed to meet market needs. In this study, durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) cv. 'Monthong' was subjected to microwave vacuum-drying at 1,200 W to produce durian flour for use in biscuits that are normally made from wheat flour. The microwave treatment induced starch gelatinization to a significant extent. As a result, compared to the wheat flour, the durian flour had lower viscosity, pasting temperature, gelatinization temperatures, and enthalpy of gelatinization but higher water absorption capacity. Dough properties including development time, dough stability, time to breakdown and the phase angle tangent of the durian dough were less than those of the wheat dough. The elastic modulus (G') and viscous modulus (G″) of the durian dough were higher than for the wheat dough. All the tested durian doughs had higher G' values than G″, indicating a viscoelastic structure. Substitution of wheat flour with durian flour should not exceed 50% to obtain reasonable dough properties and baking quality of durian biscuits.
