Abstract
The vaccination rate for seasonal influenza remains low in most regions of China. It is essential to understand the factors that associated with the low influenza vaccination rate in various populations after the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with residents in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China. Respondents' vaccination condition during the 2021-2022 flu season and the reasons for receiving or not receiving influenza vaccine were investigated. Binary logistic regression was conducted to explore potential factors influencing vaccination uptake. 2,476 of 14,001 respondents received an influenza vaccine, with a total coverage of 17.68% (95% CI: 17.05%, 18.32%). Children had the highest vaccination coverage (35.68%; 95% CI: 34.02, 37.33), followed by adults (12.75%; 95% CI: 11.91%, 13.58%) and elderly individuals (11.70%, 95% CI: 10.78%, 12.62%). For children, lower household income was an significant promoting factor. For adults, factors significantly associated with vaccination were household income, sex, and education level. For elderly, factors significantly associated with vaccination were household income, education level, living state, and having underlying diseases. (P < .05)The main reason for vaccine hesitancy among children was worried about side effects (21.49%), for adults and elderly was self-rated good health (adults: 37.14%, elderly people: 30.66%). The overall influenza vaccination coverage rate in Shanghai, especially among elderly individuals, is lower than many developed countries. Appropriate strategies and programs targeting different populations need to be implemented to enhance influenza vaccine coverage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The integration of transcriptomic, proteomic, druggable genetic and metabolomic association studies facilitated a comprehensive investigation of molecular features and shared pathways for cancers' development and progression. METHODS Comprehensive approaches consisting of transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), proteome-wide association studies (PWAS), summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) and MR were performed to identify genes significantly associated with cancers. The results identified in above analyzes were subsequently involved in phenotype scanning and enrichment analyzes to explore the possible health effects and shared pathways. Additionally, we also conducted MR analysis to investigate metabolic pathways related to cancers. RESULTS Totally 24 genes (18 transcriptomic, 1 proteomic and 5 druggable genetic) showed significant associations with cancers risk. All genes identified in multiple methods were mainly enriched in nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway. Additionally, biosynthesis of ubiquinol and urate were found to play an important role in gastrointestinal tumors. CONCLUSIONS A set of putatively causal genes and pathways relevant to cancers were identified in this study, shedding light on the shared biological processes for tumorigenesis and providing compelling genetic evidence to prioritize anti-cancer drugs development.

Abstract
Background Colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) exhibits highly heterogeneity, with clinically and molecularly defined subgroups that differ in their prognosis. The aim of this study is to explore whether left-sided tumors is clinically and gnomically distinct from right-sided tumors in CRLM. Methods This retrospective study included 1,307 patients who underwent primary tumor and metastases resection at three academic centers in China from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2020. Propensity score matching with 1:1 ratio matching was performed. The prognostic impact of tumor sidedness was determined after stratifying by the KRAS mutational status. Moreover, whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 200 liver tumor tissues were performed to describe the heterogeneity across the analysis of somatic and germline profiles. Results The median follow-up was 68 months. Matching yielded 481 pairs of patients. Compared to right-sided CRLM, left-sided patients experienced with better 5-year overall survival (OS) in surgery responsiveness, with a 14.6 lower risk of death [hazard ratio (HR), 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.10-1.69, P=0.004]. Interaction between tumor sidedness and KRAS status was statistically significant: left-sidedness was associated with better prognosis among KRAS wild-type patients (HR 1.71; 95% CI: 1.20-2.45; P=0.003), but not among KRAS mutated-type patients. Integrated molecular analyses showed that right-sided tumors more frequently harbored TP53, APC, KRAS, and BRAF alterations, and identified a critical role of KRAS mutation in correlation with their survival differences. Higher pathogenic germline variants were identified in the right-sided tumors compared with left-sided tumors (29.3% vs. 15.5%, P=0.03). Conclusions We demonstrated that the prognostic impacts of tumor sidedness in CRLM is restricted patients with KRAS wild-type tumors. Tumor sidedness displays considerable clinical and molecular heterogeneity that may associate with their therapy benefits and prognosis.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether net water uptake (NWU) based on automated software evaluation could predict futile recanalisation in patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion (LVO). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with acute anterior circulation LVO undergoing mechanical thrombectomy in Jinling Hospital were evaluated retrospectively. NWU and other baseline data were evaluated by performing univariate and multivariate analyses. The primary endpoint was 90-day modified Rankin scale score ≥3. A nomogram to predict poor clinical outcomes was developed based on multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Overall, 135 patients who underwent thrombectomy with a TICI grade ≥2b were enrolled. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the following factors were identified as independent predictors of futile recanalisation: age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.055, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.004-1.110, p=0.035), female (OR: 0.289, 95 % CI: 0.098-0.850, p=0.024), hypertension (OR: 3.182, 95 % CI: 1.160-8.728, p=0.025), high blood glucose level (OR: 1.36, 95 % CI: 1.087-1.701, p=0.007), admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (OR: 1.082, 95 % CI: 1.003-1.168, p=0.043), and NWU (OR: 1.312, 95 % CI: 1.038-1.659, p=0.023). CONCLUSIONS NWU based on Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography (CT) Score (ASPECTS) could be used to predict the occurrence of futile recanalisation in patients with acute anterior circulation LVO ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the diagnostic value of adenohypophyseal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features for precocious puberty (PP) in female children and also to establish a non-invasive diagnostic approach in clinics. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 126 female children (37, 57, and 32 female children clinically diagnosed with central PP [CPP], incomplete PP [IPP], and controls, respectively) were enrolled in this study. Data were collected and analysed using analysis of variance. Pearson correlation and stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis were used to examine the association and build prediction models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. RESULTS The values of adenohypophysis volume (aPV), adenohypophysis height (aPH), and signal-intensity ratio (SIR), height, weight, and seven laboratory testing characteristics were correlated closely with the activation status of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis in the different groups (all p<0.05). Model 1 including aPV, weight, and aPH and Model 2 including SIR, aPV, and height were built to obtain predicted luteinising hormone (LH; R2 = 0.271) and LH/follicle stimulating hormone (FSH; R2 = 0.311). ROC analysis showed the predicted LH, predicted LH/FSH, and aPV were the top 3 best predictors in distinguishing CPP from controls (AUC = 0.969, 0.949, and 0.938) while predicted LH/FSH was the best predictor in distinguishing CPP from IPP and controls (AUC = 0.829 and 0.828). CONCLUSION The adenohypophysis volume itself and the prediction models including main adenohypophyseal MRI features increased diagnostic efficiency for PP and offered a non-invasive and credible diagnostic method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The concurrent impact of COVID-19 and influenza on disease burden is a topic of great concern. This discussion delves into the epidemiological characteristics of seasonal influenza activity in Shanghai within the context of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. METHODS From 2017 to 2023, a total of 11,081 patients having influenza-like illness (ILI) were included in this study for influenza virus detection. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays were conducted according to standardised protocols to identify the types and subtypes of influenza viruses. The positivity rate of the influenza virus among the sampled ILI cases served as a surrogate measure for estimating various influenza seasonal characteristics, such as periodicity, duration, peak occurrences, and the prevalent subtypes or lineages. Epidemiological aspects across different years and age groups were subjected to comprehensive analysis. For categorical variables, the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was employed, as deemed appropriate. RESULTS A total of 1553 (14.0%) tested positive for influenza virus pathogens. The highest positivity rate for influenza was observed in adults aged 25-59 years (18.8%), while the lowest rate was recorded in children under 5 years (3.8%). The influenza circulation patterns in Shanghai were characterised: (1) 2 years exhibited semiannual periodicity (2017-2018, 2022-2023); (2) 3 years displayed annual periodicity (2018-2019, 2019-2020, and 2021-2022); and (3) during 2020-2021, epidemic periodicities of seasonal influenza viruses disappeared. In terms of influenza subtypes, four subtypes were identified during 2017-2018. In 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, A/H3N2, A/H1N1, and B/Victoria were circulating. Notably, one case of B/Victoria was detected in 2020-2021. The epidemic period of 2021-2022 was attributed to B/Victoria, and during 2022-2023, the influenza A virus was the dominant circulating strain. CONCLUSIONS The seasonal epidemic period and the predominant subtype/lineage of influenza viruses around the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic period in Shanghai city are complex. This underscores the necessity for vigilant influenza control strategies amidst the backdrop of other respiratory virus pandemics.

Abstract
The square-lattice Hubbard and closely related t-J models are considered as basic paradigms for understanding strong correlation effects and unconventional superconductivity (SC). Recent large-scale density matrix renormalization group simulations on the extended t-J model have identified d-wave SC on the electron-doped side (with the next-nearest-neighbor hopping t_{2}>0) but a dominant charge density wave (CDW) order on the hole-doped side (t_{2}<0), which is inconsistent with the SC of hole-doped cuprate compounds. We re-examine the ground-state phase diagram of the extended t-J model by employing the state-of-the-art density matrix renormalization group calculations with much enhanced bond dimensions, allowing more accurate determination of the ground state. On six-leg cylinders, while different CDW phases are identified on the hole-doped side for the doping range δ=1/16-1/8, a SC phase emerges at a lower doping regime, with algebraically decaying pairing correlations and d-wave symmetry. On the wider eight-leg systems, the d-wave SC also emerges on the hole-doped side at the optimal 1/8 doping, demonstrating the winning of SC over CDW by increasing the system width. Our results not only suggest a new path to SC in general t-J model through weakening the competing charge orders, but also provide a unified understanding on the SC of both hole- and electron-doped cuprate superconductors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis (PDRP) presents a significant challenge for nephrologists. Continuous intraperitoneal cefazolin and ceftazidime are recommended for the treatment of peritonitis. However, some pharmacokinetic studies have shown that doses of 15-20 mg/kg/d may not achieve sufficient therapeutic levels. In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime and cefazolin in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis and compared the pharmacokinetic characteristics between traditional and modified treatment groups. METHODS From February 2017 to December 2019, 42 PDRP patients (17 males, 25 females; mean age: 50.7 ± 12.1 years; mean body weight: 60.9 ± 11.8 kg) were recruited for the study, all participants were anuric. Twenty patients were enrolled in the traditional group and treated with cefazolin (1.0 g) and ceftazidime (1.0 g) via intraperitoneal administration once daily for 14 days. Twenty-two patients were enrolled in the modified group and received the same dose of antibiotics twice daily for the initial five days, followed by once daily for the subsequent nine days. Serum and dialysate samples were collected after days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 and analyzed via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS In the traditional group, the highest and lowest serum concentrations of ceftazidime were 35.9 and 21.7 µg/mL, respectively. The highest concentration of cefazolin was 54.6 µg/mL on day 5 and the lowest concentration was 30.4 µg/mL on day 1. In the modified group, the highest and lowest serum concentrations of ceftazidime were 102.2 and 54.8 µg/mL, respectively. The highest concentration of cefazolin was 141.7 µg/mL and the lowest concentration was 79.8 µg/mL. All antibiotic concentrations were above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) level (8 µg/mL of ceftazidime and 2 µg/mL of cefazolin) throughout the treatment period. However, on day 1, the concentration of ceftazidime in the third bag of dialysate effluent from the traditional group fell below the MIC level. Despite remaining above the MIC, cefazolin concentration was consistently lower in the third bag of dialysate effluent from the traditional group throughout the treatment period. CONCLUSIONS Intraperitoneal administration of cefazolin and ceftazidime at a dose of 1 g twice daily for 5 days and then once daily for the rest of the treatment period ensured adequate therapeutic levels of antibiotics for treating anuric PDRP patients.

Abstract
This paper proposes a Whipple structure to enhance the impact resistance of graphene/aluminum alloy composites by varying the interlayer spacing between graphene and aluminum alloy. The increased interlayer spacing provides more deformation space for the graphene to absorb more deformation energy, and enables the formation of a debris cloud from the bullet fragments and graphene fragments, significantly reducing the impact energy per unit area of the next material. The impact limit serves as a critical metric for assessing the impact resistance of the Whipple structure. Based on molecular dynamics simulations, we developed a machine learning model to predict the protection of aluminum alloy, and quickly determined the impact limits of velocity, bullet radius, and interlayer spacing by using the machine learning model. An empirical equation for the impact limit of interlayer spacing was established. The results showed that non-zero interlayer spacing can significantly improve the impact resistance of the hybrid structure; to fully exploit the superior impact resistance of this Whipple structure, the number of graphene layers should be at least 3. Furthermore, at high impact velocities and large bullet radii, the impact limit of the interlayer spacing exhibits a substantial correlation with the number of graphene layers. These results provide valuable information for the design of the impact resistance of the graphene/aluminum alloy composites.

Abstract
Most solid tumors are clinically treated using surgical resection, and the presence of residual tumor tissues at the surgical margins often determines tumor survival and recurrence. Herein, a hydrogel (Apt-HEX/Cp-BHQ1 Gel, termed AHB Gel) is developed for fluorescence-guided surgical resection. AHB Gel is constructed by tethering a polyacrylamide hydrogel and ATP-responsive aptamers together. It exhibits strong fluorescence under high ATP concentrations corresponding to the TME (100-500 µm) but shows little fluorescence at low ATP concentrations (10-100 nm) such as those in normal tissues. AHB Gel can rapidly (within 3 min) emit fluorescence after exposure to ATP, and the fluorescence signal only occurs at sites exposed to high ATP, resulting in a clear boundary between the ATP-high and ATP-low regions. In vivo, AHB Gel exhibits specific tumor-targeting capacity with no fluorescence response in normal tissue, providing clear tumor boundaries. In addition, AHB Gel has good storage stability, which is conducive to its future clinical application. In summary, AHB Gel is a novel tumor microenvironment-targeted DNA-hybrid hydrogel for ATP-based fluorescence imaging. It can enable the precise imaging of tumor tissues, showing promising application in fluorescence-guided surgeries in the future.

Abstract
AIM To explore the value of radiomics analysis in preoperatively predicting visceral pleural invasion (VPI) of lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) with ≤3 cm maximum diameter and to compare the performance of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) radiomics models. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 391 LAC patients were enrolled retrospectively, of whom 142 were VPI (+) and 249 were VPI (-). Radiomics features were extracted from 2D and 3D regions of interest (ROIs) of tumours in CT images. 2D and 3D radiomics models were developed combining the optimal radiomics features by using the logistic regression machine-learning method and radiomics scores (rad-scores) were calculated. Nomograms were constructed by integrating independent risk factors and rad-scores. The performance of each model was evaluated by using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), clinical impact curve (CIC), and calculating the area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS There was no difference in the VPI prediction between 2D and 3D radiomics models (training group: 2D AUC=0.835, 3D AUC=0.836, p=0.896; validation group: 2D AUC=0.803, 3D AUC=0.794, p=0.567). The 2D and 3D nomograms performed similarly regarding discrimination (training group: 2D AUC=0.867, 3D AUC=0.862, p=0.409, validation group: 2D AUC=0.835, 3D AUC=0.827, p=0.558), and outperformed their corresponding radiomics models and the clinical model. DCA and CIC revealed that the 2D nomogram had slightly better clinical utility. CONCLUSION The 2D radiomics model has a similar discrimination capability compared with the 3D radiomics model. The 2D nomogram performs slightly better for individual VPI prediction in LAC.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the association between military spending and environmental sustainability within the N-11 countries. There exists a strong correlation between sustainable economic expansion and energy consumption, which in turn results in the generation of elevated levels of carbon emissions. Moreover, it is plausible that a correlation exists between military spending and the degradation of the environment. The primary objective of this study is to examine the emissions of carbon and emissions of greenhouse gases in the N-11 countries, as these nations exhibit comparatively elevated levels of such emissions. Therefore, this study examines the correlation among economic growth, militarization, renewable energy, and environment in the Next Eleven nations from 1990 to 2022. The cross-section autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) model is employed to analyze the enduring and immediate connections between variables. Empirical evidence indicates that a country's environment is positively influenced by GDP and militarization. The escalation of military capital intensity has exacerbated the environmental damage. Increasing the adoption of renewable energy sources can mitigate negative environmental impacts over time. This study proposes policy recommendations for sustainable development, including reducing militarization and improving the use of clean energy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Based on the previous encouraging results, we further explored whether EGCG would have a protective effect on potential tumor lesions, that is, reduce the efficacy of radiotherapy. We selected patients with stage III breast cancer with or without EGCG. The local control rate, distant metastasis rate, DFS and OS were compared between the two groups. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with stage III breast cancer who were treated with EGCG and radiotherapy was selected from a phase II clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT02580279). Each patient was matched with one control patient without EGCG From the medical database of our hospital matching for age and stage. The control group of stage-and age-matched patients was selected at random from the medical database of our hospital RESULTS: We identified 43 EGCG patients and 43 matched controls. The median age was 45 years (range: 26-67). Between the two groups, there were no obvious differences in the baseline demographic or clinical features. When compared to the placebo group, the mean radiation-induced dermatitis index (RIDI) in the EGCG group was substantially lower (2.56±1.14 vs 3.36±1.16 T = -3.232, P = 0.002). Repeated measures ANOVA indicated the significant differences in the RTOG score during the course of radiotherapy between the two groups (F = 9.611 P = 0.003). The patients mostly experienced RID two or three weeks after starting radiotherapy, although in the EGCG group, it appeared later (3.19±0.91 weeks) than it did in the placebo group (2.67±0.84 weeks), P = 0.008. The median follow-up for patients in the EGCG group at the time of data collection was 50.6 months with 95% confidence interval (CI) from 43.9 to 57.3. While it was 48.6 months (95% CI: 43.4-53.9) for patients in the control group. There was no significant difference in overall survival (OS), disease free-survival (DFS) and freedom from locoregional (LRF) and distant failure (DMF) (P > 0.05). At the data cut-off (December 2021), the 4-year DFS with EGCG was 71.4% compared to 65.4% with conventional therapy, and the 4-year OS was 77.0% compared to 80.3%. CONCLUSION The prophylactic use of EGCG solution reduced the RID score of stage III breast cancer patients without negatively impacting the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy on the tumor. EGCG is safe and feasible choice for RID for breast cancer during radiotherapy.

Abstract
Supplemental probiotic fermented milk as a gut modulator can improve growth performance for weaned piglets by promoting the development of the small intestine in digestion and immune function. The effect on colon health might also play a considerable part in the favourable role of probiotic fermented milk in the growth performance improvement of weaned piglets; however, it has yet to be reported. This study aimed to investigate the effects of supplementation with lactic acid bacteria-fermented formula milk (LFM) on colonic morphology, microbiota composition, and mucosal transcriptome profile in weaned piglets. A total of 24 male weaned piglets were randomly divided into two groups: a control (CON) treatment or the LFM-supplemented treatment. Each group consisted of six replicates (cages) with two piglets per cage, and each piglet in the LFM group was supplemented with 80 mL LFM three times a day for 21 d, while the CON group was treated with the same amount of drinking water. Results showed that supplementation of LFM reduced the colonic histological damage scores and significantly increased the number of goblet cells per crypt. Furthermore, LFM consumption decreased the levels of pro-inflammation cytokines in the colonic mucosa. LFM downregulated the expression of inflammatory genes (CXCL9 and CXCL10) involving Toll-like receptor signalling pathway, immune response, and response to bacterium, and up-regulated two active genes (S100A8 and S100A9) involving the IL-17 signalling pathway and Toll-like receptor 4 binding. In addition, LFM could increase the potential probiotic genera containing Lachnospira and Anaerorhabdus furcosa group, which were positively related to short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. Correspondingly, LFM-fed piglets had higher total bacterial load and total SCFA concentration in the colonic digesta compared with the CON group. These novel findings support the benefits of LFM in enhancing intestinal homoeostasis and ameliorating weaning stress for weaned piglets, which is associated with the modulation of gut microbiota composition and immune-related genes.

Abstract
Farrerol (FA) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties in various diseases. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent oxidative stress-induced cell death. It is characterized by lipid peroxidation and glutathione depletion and is involved in neuronal injury. However, the role of FA in inhibiting ferroptosis in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and its underlying mechanisms are not yet completely elucidated. This study aimed to investigate whether FA could mediate ferroptosis and explore its function and molecular mechanism in HIE. A neonatal rat model of HIE was used, and rats were treated with FA, ML385 (a specific inhibitor of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 [Nrf2]), or a combination of both. Neurological deficits, infarction volume, brain water content, pathological changes, and iron ion accumulation in the brain tissues were measured using the Zea-Longa scoring system and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC), hematoxylin-eosin (HE), and Perls' staining. The expression levels of GSH-Px, MDA, SOD, and ROS in brain tissues were also evaluated. Western blot analysis was performed to analyze the expression of the Nrf2 pathway and ferroptosis-related proteins. The results showed that FA administration significantly reduced neuronal damage, infarct volume, cerebral edema, and iron ion accumulation and inhibited MDA and ROS levels while promoting GSH-Px and SOD levels. FA also increased the expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), Nrf2, and HO-1. Moreover, the combination of ML385 and FA in HIE abolished the FA protective effects. Therefore, the study concludes that FA exerts a neuroprotective effect after HIE by inhibiting oxidative stress and ferroptosis via the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Conformal field theory (CFT) plays a crucial role in the study of various critical phenomena. While much attention has been paid to the critical exponents of different universalities, which correspond to the conformal dimensions of CFT primary fields, other important and intricate data such as operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients governing the fusion of two primary fields, have remained largely unexplored, especially in dimensions higher than 2D (or equivalently, 1+1D). Motivated by the recently proposed fuzzy sphere regularization, we investigate the operator content of 3D Ising criticality from a microscopic perspective. We first outline the procedure for extracting OPE coefficients on the fuzzy sphere and then compute 13 OPE coefficients of low-lying CFT primary fields. Our results are highly accurate and in agreement with the numerical conformal bootstrap data of 3D Ising CFT. Moreover, we were able to obtain 4 OPE coefficients, including f_{T_{μν}T_{ρη}ε}, which were previously unknown, thus demonstrating the superior capabilities of our scheme. Expanding the horizon of the fuzzy sphere regularization from the state perspective to the operator perspective opens up new avenues for exploring a wealth of new physics.

Abstract
Purpose Recent studies have addressed the association between lung development and long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). But few studies have investigated the role of lncRNAs in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Thus, this study aimed to compare the expression profile of circulating lncRNAs between RDS infants and controls. Methods 10 RDS infants and 5 controls were enrolled. RDS patients were further divided into mild and severe RDS subgroups. Blood samples were collected for the lncRNA expression profile. Subsequently, differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened out. Bioinformatics analysis was applied to establish a co-expression network of differential lncRNAs and mRNAs, and predict the underlying biological functions. Results A total of 135 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified, including 108 upregulated and 27 downregulated lncRNAs (fold-change>2 and P<0.05) among the three groups (non-RDS, mild RDS and severe RDS groups). Of these lncRNAs, four were selected as showing higher fold changes and validated by qRT-PCR. ENST00000470527.1, ENST00000504497.1, ENST00000417781.5, and ENST00000440408.5 were increased not only in the plasma of total RDS patients but also in the severe RDS subgroup. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analyses showed that differentially expressed lncRNAs may play important roles in RDS through regulating PI3KAkt, RAS, MAPK, and TGF-β signaling pathways. Conclusion The present results found that ENST00000470527.1, ENST00000504497.1, ENST00000417781.5, and ENST00000440408.5 may be invol ved in RDS. This could provide new insight into research of the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of preterm RDS.

Abstract
Reinfection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants due to immune escape is challenging for the global response to the pandemic. We estimated the Omicron reinfection prevalence among people who had a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection in Shanghai, China. We conducted a telephone survey in December 2022 with those who had previously been infected with Omicron between March and May 2022. Information on their demographics, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing, and vaccination history was collected. The overall and subgroup reinfection rates were estimated and compared. Among the 1981 respondents who were infected between March and May 2022, 260 had positive nucleic acid or rapid antigen tests in December 2022, with an estimated reinfection rate of 13.1% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 11.6-14.6). The reinfection rate for those who had a booster vaccination was 11.4% (95% CI: 9.2-13.7), which was significantly lower than that for those with an incomplete vaccination series (15.2%, 95% CI: 12.3-18.1) (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.579; 95% CI: 0.412-0.813). Reinfection with the Omicron variant was lower among individuals with a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and those who had a booster vaccination, suggesting that hybrid immunity may offer protection against reinfection with Omicron sublineages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influential factors associated with functional status of those patients who undertook a full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy operation. METHODS A prospective study was conducted. A total of 96 patients who undertook a full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy operation and met inclusive criteria were enrolled in the study. The postoperative follow-up was held 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. The self-developed record file was used to collect the patient's information and medical history. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI) score, Gene-ralised anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale score and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale score were applied to measure pain intensity, functional status, anxiety status and depression status. Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to explore the ODI score 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. Multiple linear regression was recruited to illuminate the influential factors associated with functional status after the operation. Logistic regression was employed to explore the independent risk factors related to return to work 6 months after operation. RESULTS The postoperative functional status of the patients improved gradually. The functional status of the patients 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were highly positively correlated with the current average pain intensity. The factors influencing the postoperative functional status of the patients were different according to the recovery stage. One month and 3 months after operation, the factors influencing the postoperative functional status were the current average pain intensity; 6 months after operation, the factors influencing the postoperative functional status included the current average pain intensity, preoperative average pain intensity, gender and educational level. The risk factors influencing return to work 6 months after operation included women, young age, preoperative depression status and high average pain intensity 3 months after operation. CONCLUSION It is feasible to treat chronic low back pain with full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy operation. In the process of postoperative functional status recovery, medical staffs should not only take analgesic mea-sures to reduce the pain intensity experienced by the patients, but also pay attention to the impact of psychosocial factors on the recovery. Women, young age, preoperative depression status, and high average pain intensity 3 months after operation may delay return to work after the operation.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) polycrystalline thin films are attractive due to their outstanding photoelectronic properties. The anti-solvent spin coating method is the most widely used to synthesize these thin films, and the residual strain is inevitably originates and evolves during the process. However, this residual strain evolution induced by crystallization kinetics is still poorly understood. In this work, the in situ and ex situ synchrotron grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) are utilized to characterize the evolution and distribution of the residual strain in the OIHP polycrystalline thin film during the anti-solvent spin coating process. A mechanical model is established and the mechanism of the crystallization kinetics-induced residual strain evolution process is discussed. This work reveals a comprehensive understanding of the residual strain evolution during the anti-solvent spin coating process in the OIHP polycrystalline thin films and provides important guidelines for the residual strain-related strain engineering, morphology control, and performance enhancement.

Abstract
AIM This study was aimed to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) combined with donafenib plus tislelizumab as the first-line treatment for patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC). METHODS This is a prospective single-center exploratory study. Eligible patients (Stage III/IV BTC, at least one measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1, etc.) received gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 IV Q3W, oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 IV Q3W, donafenib 200 mg PO BID, and tislelizumab 200 mg IV Q3W until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent whichever occurred first. The primary endpoint was safety and secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR), conversion rate, and overall survival (OS). RESULTS A total of 13 patients were enrolled. The median follow-up time was 420 days (range 345-487). The median duration of treatment was four cycles (range 1-15). The incidence of ≥Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) was 53.8% and no Grade 5 TRAE. The most frequent Grade 3-4 TRAEs were rash (4/13, 30.8%), platelet count decreased (2/13, 15.4%), and fatigue (2/13, 15.4%). Tumor response was assessed in eight evaluable patients; ORR was 25.0% (95% CI, 3.2%-65.1%) and DCR 87.5% (95% CI, 47.3%-99.7%). The median PFS was 4.8 months (95% CI, 1.25-NE). Three Stage III patients underwent subsequent surgery with a conversion rate of 23.1%. The median OS was not estimable. CONCLUSIONS GEMOX combined with donafenib plus tislelizumab as the first-line therapy for unresectable BTC showed manageable toxicity and encouraging efficacy especially in terms of promising conversion rate in Stage III patients.

Abstract
Direct para-selective C(sp2)-H alkylation of electron-deficient arenes based on the electroreduction-enabled radical addition of alkyl bromides has been developed under mild conditions. In the absence of any metals and redox agents, the simple electrolysis system tolerates a variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl bromides and behaves as an important complement to the directed alkylation of the C(sp2)-H bond and the classic Friedel-Crafts alkylation. This electroreduction process provides a more straightforward, environmentally benign, and effective alkylation method for electron-deficient arenes.

Abstract
Nephrolithiasis is a highly prevalent disease worldwide that is associated with significant suffering, renal failure, and cost for the healthcare system. A patient with nephrolithiasis was found to have SLC6A20 variation. SLC6A20 gene in human is located on chromosome 3p21.3, which is a member of SLC6 family of membrane transporters and the product of this gene expression is transporter protein of sub-amino acid transporter system. The previous studies have reported that the mutation of SLC6A20 may cause hyperglycinuria or iminoglycinuria which may lead to nephrolithiasis. The object was to investigate the relationship between nephrolithiasis and SLC6A20 through pedigree genetic analysis. To explore whether the SLC6A20 mutation can cause hereditary nephrolithiasis, and provide evidence for further research. The urine and blood were collected from the patients for compositional analysis. DNA sequencing was applied to analyze the gene mutation. Labial gland and kidney biopsy were conducted for pathological analysis. As a result we reported a rare family case of nephrolithiasis accompanied by primary Sjogren's syndrome and investigated it by examining the family members with whole exome gene sequencing technology and detecting 20 different amino acids and 132 kinds of organic acids in the urine with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We discovered that the proband and her mother had hyperglycinuria and the proband (Ⅱ2), her sister (Ⅱ3), and mother (Ⅰ1) were found to carry the SLC6A20 gene exon NM_020208.3 sequence c.1072T > C heterozygous mutation, and the other family members (Ⅰ2, Ⅱ1, Ⅱ4, Ⅲ1, Ⅲ2) did not carry the genetic mutation. As a conclusion, the heterozygous mutation of SLC6A20 (c.1072T > C) might be contributed to hyperglycinuria and the formation of nephrolithiasis.

Abstract
Multimodal synergistic therapy based on nanomedicine drug delivery systems can achieve accurate cancer treatment. The anisotropy of gold nanorods (AuNRs) allows the adjustment of the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance absorption to the near-infrared band, which shows potential application in the field of photothermal therapy of cancer. Here, we report a new type of thermal-sensitive gold nanorod drug-loaded vesicles (UGRV-DOX) via the self-assembly of AuNRs modified with the amphiphilic polymer (PEG45-b-PS150) and upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymer (P(AAm-co-AN)). The hollow structure of the vesicle can increase the drug loading capacity, and the polymers on its surface are intertwined to reduce drug leakage. As-prepared UGRV-DOX vesicles exhibits excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and can achieve light-controlled drug release. In vivo anti-tumor experiments showed that UGRV-DOX could ablate HepG2 transplanted tumors significantly under 808 nm laser irradiation, and the inhibition rate was as high as 99.3 %. These tumor-specific nanovesicles prefigure great potentials for high-precision cancer treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the clinical efficacy of myectomy guided by personalized three-dimensional reconstruction and printing for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods: The clinical data of 28 patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, who underwent septal myectomy guided by personalized three-dimensional reconstruction and printing in the Department of Cardiaovascular Surgery, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from May 2020 to December 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 males and 14 females, aging (51.1±14.0) years (range: 18 to 72 years). Enhanced cardiac computed tomography images were imported into Mimics software for preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction. The direction of the short axial plane of each segment was marked perpendicularly to the interventricular septum on the long axial plane of the digital cardiac model, then the thickness was measured on each short axial plane. A figurative digital model was used to determine the extent of resection and to visualize mitral valve and papillary muscle abnormalities. Correlation between the length, width, thickness, and volume of the predicted resected myocardium and those of the surgically resected myocardium was assessed by Pearson correlation analysis or Spearman correlation analysis. The accuracy of detecting mitral valve and papillary muscle abnormalities of transthoracic echocardiography and three-dimensional reconstruction was also compared. Results: There was no death or serious complications like permanent pacemaker implantation, re-sternotomy for bleeding, low cardiac output syndrome, stroke, or multiple organ dysfunction syndromes in the whole group. Namely, the obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract was effectively relieved. The systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet was absent in all patients after myectomy. The length, width, and thickness of the predicted resected myocardium by three-dimensional reconstruction were significantly positively correlated with the length (R=0.65, 95%CI: 0.37 to 0.82, P<0.01), width (R=0.39, 95%CI: 0.02 to 0.67, P<0.01), and thickness (R=0.82, 95%CI: 0.65 to 0.92, P<0.01) of the surgically resected myocardium, while the relation of the volume of the predicted resected myocardium and the volume of the surgically resected myocardium was a strong positive correlation (R=0.88, 95%CI: 0.76 to 0.94, P<0.01). Importantly, the interventricular septal myocardial thickness measured by preoperative transthoracic echocardiography showed a moderate positive correlation with the volume of surgically resected myocardium (R=0.52, 95%CI: 0.19 to 0.75, P<0.01). During a follow-up of (14.4±6.8) months (range: 3 to 22 months), no death occurred, and 1 patient was readmitted for endocardial radiofrequency ablation due to atrial fibrillation. Conclusion: Personalized three-dimensional reconstruction and printing can not only visualize the intracardiac structure but also guide septal myectomy by predicting the thickness, volume, and extent of resected myocardium to achieve ideal resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent disease with distinct sex pattern. We aimed to estimate the sex specific incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life (DALYs) years of osteoporosis between 1990 and 2019, with additional predictions from 2020 to 2034. METHODS We collected osteoporosis disease burden data from the Global Burden of Disease study covering the years 1990 through 2019 in 204 countries and territories. The data included information on the number of incident cases of osteoporosis, DALYs, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), age-standardized prevalence rates (ASPR) and age-standardized DALYs rates. Additionally, we performed an age-period-cohort analysis to forecast the burden of osteoporosis. RESULTS The global number of incidence cases of osteoporosis, in 2019, reached 41.5 million cases. From 1990 to 2019, the low-middle socio-demographic index (SDI) region had the highest estimated annual percentage change in the world. Compared to males, female's ASIR and ASPR were all about 1.5 times higher than males for the same years in the same SDI regions. The projected global total number of incidence cases for osteoporosis between 2030 and 2034 is estimated to reach 263.2 million (154.4 million for females and 108.8 for males). Additionally, the burden in terms of DALYs is predicted to be 128.7 million (with 78.4 million for females and 50.3 million for males). CONCLUSION The global burden of osteoporosis is still increasing, mainly observed in high SDI countries. Females bear a burden 1.5 times higher than males in terms of incidence and DALYs. Steps should be taken to reduce the osteoporosis burden, especially in high SDI countries.

Abstract
Regardless of the improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic methods, the clinical outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients remain poor. Although accumulating evidence indicates that lncRNAs (long noncoding RNAs) are essential within the control of tumorigenesis and the metastasis of cancer, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. This work explored the pattern of expression and functional significance of a newly found lncRNA, Ewing sarcoma-associated transcript 1 (EWSAT1), in HCC metastasis. The results indicated that EWSAT1 was upregulated significantly in HCC relative to that in normal tissues and was correlated with an aggressive phenotype and low patient survival. Functional experiments demonstrated that EWSAT1 could promote proliferation and HCC cell metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, EWSAT1 binds directly to Yes-associated protein (YAP), promotes Sarcoma gene (Src)-induced phosphorylation of YAP, facilitates nuclear translocation of YAP, and consequently, activates the transcription of Hippo-YAP signaling target genes involved in cancer evolution. This study found that EWSAT1 plays a crucial role in HCC metastasis and that it has the potential to be a prognosis biomarker and a target for therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival benefit of primary and metastatic resection for patients with colorectal cancer with liver metastasis (CRLM) has been observed, but methods for discriminating which individuals would benefit from surgery have been poorly defined. Herein, a predictive model was developed to stratify patients into sub-population based on their response to surgery. METHODS We assessed the survival benefits for adults diagnosed with colorectal liver metastasis by comparing patients with curative surgery vs. those without surgery. CRLM patients enrolled in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2015 were identified for model construction. Other data including CRLM patients from our center were obtained for external validation. Calibration plots, the area under the curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram compared with the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification. The Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to examine whether this model would distinguish patients who could benefit from surgery. RESULTS A total of 1,220 eligible patients were identified, and 881 (72.2%) underwent colorectal and liver resection. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) for the surgery group was significantly better than that for the no-surgery group (41 vs. 14 months, p < 0.001). Five factors were found associated with CSS and adopted to build the nomograms, i.e., age, T stage, N stage, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and primary tumor position. The AUC of the CRLM nomogram showed a better performance in identifying patients who could obtain benefits in the surgical treatment, compared with TNM classification (training set, 0.826 [95% CI, 0.786-0.866] vs. 0.649 [95% CI, 0.598-0.701]; internal validation set, 0.820 [95% CI, 0.741-0.899] vs. 0.635 [95% CI, 0.539-0.731]; external validation set, 0.763 [95% CI, 0.691-0.836] vs. 0.626 [95% CI, 0.542-0.710]). The calibration curves revealed excellent agreement between the predicted and actual survival outcomes. The DCA showed that the nomogram exhibited more clinical benefits than the TNM staging system. The beneficial and surgery group survived longer significantly than the non-beneficial and surgery group (HR = 0.21, 95% CI, 0.17-0.27, p < 0.001), but no difference was observed between the non-beneficial and surgery and non-surgery groups (HR = 0.89, 95% CI, 0.71-1.13, p = 0.344). CONCLUSIONS An accurate and easy-to-use CRLM nomogram has been developed and can be applied to identify optimal candidates for the resection of primary and metastatic lesions among CRLM patients.

Abstract
Developing artificial microsystems based on liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) to mimic cellular dynamic compartmentalization has gained increasing attention. However, limitations including complicated components and laborious fabrication techniques have hindered their development. Herein, we describe a new single-component dynamic compartmentalization system using peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates (POCs) produced from short elastin-like polypeptides (sELPs) and oligonucleotides (ONs), which can perform thermoreversible phase transition between a nanovesicle and a microdroplet. The phase transition of sELP-ONs is thoroughly investigated, of which the transition temperature can be controlled by concentration, length of sELPs and ONs, base sequences, and salt. Moreover, the sELP-ON microcompartment can enrich a variety of functional molecules including small molecules, polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Two sELP-ON compartments are used as nano- and microreactors for enzymatic reactions, separately, in which chemical activities are successfully regulated under different-scaled confinement effects, demonstrating their broad potential application in matter exchange and artificial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), and could increase the risks of adverse cardiovascular events among DM patients. Since heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and DM often coexist, our present study aimed to explore the associations of DR with adverse outcomes in HFpEF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted this study in a large, international population suffering from HFpEF (n = 3442) based on the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial. The associations of baseline DR with clinical outcomes were expressed as adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using the Cox proportional hazard regression models. The crude incidence rates of all the outcomes studied were significantly increased when DM patients with or without DR compared to those without DM (all P < 0.05), whereas there were no differences between DM patients without DR versus those with DR (all P > 0.05). In the multivariate cox regression analysis, DR was not significantly associated with increased risks of the primary composite outcome (HR, 1.178 [95% CI, 0.870-1.596]) and secondary outcomes including all-cause death, cardiovascular death, all-cause hospitalization, hospitalization for HF, myocardial infarction, and stroke (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results of current study suggested that DM but not DR could be regarded as an independent risk factor for the prognosis of HFpEF.

Abstract
BackgroundFew data on the prolonged diagnosis and its associated factors in Chinese axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is available.ObjectivesTo delineate the landscape of diagnostic delay in Chinese axSpA, investigate its associated factors and explore its potential impact on medication modalities.MethodsA total of 1,295 patients fulfilling the ASAS classification criteria were obtained. Demographic and clinical data were collected through predesigned questionnaires and available medical records. Logistic regression analyses in univariate and multivariable model were performed, using the median of diagnostic delay as cut-off point for group classification. Differences between early and late diagnosed group were subsequently compared by the Pearson chi-square test or Mann-Whitney U test.ResultsThe median (IQR) diagnostic delay in Chinese axSpA was 3.0 (1.0~7.0) years and 24.8% of them reported a history of misdiagnosis. Older age at onset (OR=0.97, P<0.001) and higher education attainment (P=0.001) were correlated with early diagnosis of axSpA, whereas coming from less developed areas (P=0.002), a history of peripheral arthritis at the time of diagnosis (OR=1.58, P=0.002) and history of misdiagnosis (OR=1.98, P<0.001) increased the risk of diagnostic delay. Medication modalities were similar between two groups, but the proportion with no medication ever and percentage without regular medication in recent 3 months were higher in the late diagnosed group than early group (26.5% vs. 20.7%, P=0.02; 34.7% vs. 28.6%, P=0.02).ConclusionOur findings depicted a detailed spectrum of diagnostic delay in Chinese axSpA, verified five associated factors and pinpointed a remarkable treatment delay even after diagnosis, especially in late diagnosis group.References[1]Masson Behar V, Dougados M, Etcheto A, Kreis S, Fabre S, Hudry C, et al.

Abstract
Interlocked DNA nanostructures perform programmable movements in nanoscales such as sliding, contraction, and expansion. However, utilizing nanoscaled interlocked movements to regulate the functions of larger length scaled matrix and developing their applications has not yet been reported. Herein we describe the assembly of DNA-based daisy chain rotaxane nanostructure (DNA-DCR) composed of two hollow DNA nanostructures as macrocycles, two interlocked axles and two triangular prism-shaped DNA structures as stoppers, in which three mechanical states─fixed extended state (FES), sliding state (SS), and fixed contracted state (FCS)─are characterized by using toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (SDR). The DNA-DCRs are further used as nanocomposites and introduced into hydrogel matrix to produce interlocked hydrogels, which shows modulable stiffness by elongating the interlocked axles to regulate the hydrogel swelling with hybridization chain reaction (HCR) treatment. Then the DCR-hydrogels are employed as dynamic biointerfaces for human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) adhesion studies. First, hMSCs showed lower cell density on bare DCR-hydrogel treated with HCR-initiated swelling for stiffness decreasing. Second, the cell adhesion ligand (RGD) modified DNA-DCRs are constructed for hydrogel functionalization. DCR(RGD) hydrogel endows the mobility of RGDs by switching the mechanical states of DNA-DCR. HMSCs showed increased cell density on DCRSS(RGD) hydrogel than on DCRFCS(RGD) hydrogel. Therefore, our DNA-DCR nanocomposite hydrogel exhibit dual-programmable performances including swelling adjustment and offering sliding for incorporated ligands, which can be both utilized as dynamic scaffolds for regulating the stem cell adhesion. The dual-programmable cross-scale regulation from interlocked DNA nanostructures to hydrogel matrix was achieved, demonstrating a new pathway of DNA-based materials.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the application effect of augmented reality and mixed reality navigation technology in three-dimensional(3D) laparoscopic narrow right hepatectomy(LRH). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 5 patients with hepatic malignancy admitted to the First Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,Zhujiang Hospital,Southern Medical University from September 2020 to June 2021,all of whom were males,aged from 42 to 74 years.Preoperative evaluation was performed using the self-developed 3D abdominal medical image visualization system; if all the 5 patients were to receive right hemihepatectomy,the remnant liver volume would be insufficient,so LRH were planned.During the operation,the independently developed 3D laparoscopic augmented reality and mixed reality surgical navigation system was used to perform real-time multi-modal image fusion and interaction between the preoperative 3D model and 3D laparoscopic scene.Meanwhile,intraoperative ultrasound assisted indocyanine green fluorescence was used to determine the surgical path.In this way,the LRH under the guidance of augmented reality and mixed reality navigation was completed.The predicted liver resection volume was evaluated before surgery,actual resected liver volume,surgical indicators and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: All the 5 patients completed LRH under the guidance of augmented reality and mixed reality navigation technology,with no conversion to laparotomy.The median operative time was 300 minutes(range:270 to 360 minutes),no intraoperative blood transfusion was performed,and the median postoperative hospital stay was 8 days(range:7 to 9 days).There were no perioperative deaths,or postoperative complications such as liver failure,bleeding,or biliary fistula. Conclusion: For patients who need to undergo LRH,the use of augmented and mixed reality navigation technology can safely and effectively guide the implementation of surgery,retain more functional liver volume,improve surgical safety,and reduce postoperative complications.

Abstract
The balance between drug efficiency and its side effects on normal tissues is still a challenging problem to be solved in current cancer therapies. Among different strategies, cancer therapeutic methods based on nanomedicine delivery systems have received extensive attention due to their unique advantages such as improved circulation and reduced toxicity of drugs in the body. Herein, we constructed dual-responsive polymeric micelles DOX&ALS@MFM based on an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymer to simultaneously combine chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Amphiphilic block copolymer P(AAm-co-AN)-b-PEI-ss-PEG-FA with a critical point of 42 °C was able to self-assemble into polymeric micelles under physiological conditions, which further encapsulated anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and photosensitizer ALS to obtain drug-loaded micelles DOX&ALS@MFM. Micelles aggregated at tumor sites due to folate targeting and an enhanced permeability retention (EPR) effect. After that, the high intracellular concentration of glutathione (GSH) and near-infrared (NIR) light prompted disassembly of the polymer to release DOX and ALS. ALS not only plays a role in PTT but also produces singlet oxygen, therefore killing tumor cells by PDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the photothermal conversion and reactive oxygen species generation ability of DOX&ALS@MFM micelles, at the same time as the excellent inhibitory effect on tumor growth with NIR light irradiation. Thus, our research substantiated a new strategy for the biomedical application of UCST polymers in the cited triple modal tumor therapy.

Abstract
Diabetic patients with type 1 or advanced type 2 stages need timely and precise insulin injection to regulate the daily blood glucose levels (BGLs). Otherwise, risks of serious or even deadly diabetes-associated complications occur. To achieve prolonged glucose regulation and low hypoglycemia risks, a novel on-demand glucose-responsive glycopolymer system was constructed for insulin delivery, which was self-assembled into nanoparticles by dynamic covalent bonds between two polymers: fluorophenylboronic acid-grafted polymer (poly-F) and polyol polymer (poly-G). Insulin was loaded during the assembly process. The nanoparticles showed excellent glucose responsiveness in vitro, with controlled insulin release at different glucose concentrations. In vivo treatment on type 1 diabetic mice showed prolonged BGL regulation and lower hypoglycemia risks. The mild preparation of the nanoparticles and outstanding glucose control shed light on the optional diabetic treatment for further clinical use.
