Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of intraoperative systemic lidocaine administration in major abdominal surgeries. We tested the hypothesis that systemic lidocaine is associated with an enhanced early quality of recovery in patients following laparoscopic colorectal resection. PATIENTS AND METHODS We randomly allocated 126 patients scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal surgery in a 1:1 ratio to receive either lidocaine (1.5 mg kg-1 bolus over 10 min, followed by continuous infusion at 2 mg kg-1 h-1 until the end of surgery) or identical volumes and rates of saline. The primary outcome was the Quality of Recovery-15 score assessed 24 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes were areas under the pain numeric rating scale curve over time, 48-h morphine consumption, and adverse events. RESULTS Compared with saline, systemic lidocaine improved the Quality of Recovery-15 score 24 h postoperatively, with a median difference of 4 (95% confidence interval: 1-6; p = 0.015). Similarly, the area under the pain numeric rating scale curve over 48 h at rest and on movement was reduced in the lidocaine group (p = 0.004 and p < 0.001, respectively). However, these differences were not clinically meaningful. Lidocaine infusion reduced the intraoperative remifentanil requirements but not postoperative 48-h morphine consumption (p < 0.001 and p = 0.34, respectively). Additionally, patients receiving lidocaine had a quicker and earlier return of bowel function, as indicated by a shorter time to first flatus (log-rank p < 0.001), yet ambulation time was similar between groups (log-rank test, p = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery, intraoperative systemic lidocaine resulted in statistically but not clinically significant improvements in quality of recovery (see Graphical Abstract).Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry; ChiCTR1900027635.

Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa 1-like 1 (RP1L1) is a component of photoreceptor cilia. Pathogenic variants in RP1L1 cause photoreceptor diseases, suggesting that RP1L1 plays an important role in photoreceptor biology, although its exact function is unknown. To date, RP1L1 variants have been associated with occult macular dystrophy (cone degeneration) and retinitis pigmentosa (rod degeneration). Here, we summarize the reported RP1L1-associated photoreceptor pathogenic mutations. The association between RP1L1 and other diseases (mainly several tumors) is also summarized and RP1L1 is included in a wider range of diseases. Finally, it is necessary to further explore the influence mechanism of RP1L1 gene on the health of photoreceptors and how it participates in the occurrence and development of tumors.

Abstract
A new type of self-supporting multi-channel Janus carbon fibers with efficient water splitting has been successfully manufactured using a specially designed parallel spinneret through electrospinning technology and subsequent carbonization technique. Every single Janus fiber composes of a half side of Mo2C and the other half side of Ni components as Mo2C, Ni embedded in N-doped multi-channel Janus carbon fibers ([Mo2C/C]//[Ni/C]-NMCFs) for overall water splitting. Under optimized condition, the hydrogen evolution reaction overpotential of [Mo2C/C]//[Ni/C]-NMCFs (62 mV) is just 24 mV higher than 20 wt% Pt/C (38 mV) at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Furthermore, it achieves current density of 10 mA cm-2 to require an overpotential of 324 mV for oxygen evolution reaction. Additionally, the cell assembled by the identical [Mo2C/C]//[Ni/C]-NMCFs catalyst as both the cathode and anode needs only 1.607 V at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, which is only 0.022 V higher than that of Pt/C-IrO2 electrodes. Moreover, [Mo2C/C]//[Ni/C]-NMCFs catalyst also exhibits a long-term stability. The synergistic effect and unique heterostructure of Mo2C and Ni enhance the catalytic activity.

Abstract
Single-modified fluorogenic primer (Sfp) enables accurate identification of LAMP amplicons without being affected by non-specific products. However, the fluorescence self-quenching by nucleobases for Sfp is generally of low efficiency, and the high background signal makes it a great challenge to achieve visual inspection with naked eyes. In the present study, the oligonucleotide (Ao) complementary to Sfp was designed, which would hybridize to Sfp and dramatically heighten the quenching effect, leading to a low background signal in negative reaction. Instead, for positive reaction, Sfp is incorporated into the double-stranded amplicons, resulting in dequenching and consequently, enhanced fluorescence. The detection scheme can be further improved by a dual-color fluorescence strategy, allowing visual detection of 1 pg rainbow trout DNA in a closed-tube format within 30 min. Therefore, our LAMP-Ao-Sfp assay represents a useful tool for rapid and sensitive detection, and can serve as a reliable method for on-site detection in low-resource settings.

Abstract
Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) posed injury for gastrointestinal and respiratory systems, ascribing with the lung-gut axis. However, the cross-talk mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we attempted to establish the response networks of lung-gut axis in mice exposed to PM2.5 at environmental levels. Male Balb/c mice were exposed to PM2.5 (dose of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/kg) collected from Chengdu, China for 10 weeks, through intratracheally instillation, and examined the effect of PM2.5 on lung functions of mice. The changes of lung and gut microbiota and metabolic profiles of mice in different groups were determined. Furthermore, the results of multi-omics were conjointly analyzed to elucidate the primary microbes and the associated metabolites in lung and gut responsible for PM2.5 exposure. Accordingly, the cross-talk network and key pathways between lung-gut axis were established. The results indicated that exposed to PM2.5 0.1 mg/kg induced obvious inflammations in mice lung, while emphysema was observed at 1.0 mg/kg. The levels of metabolites guanosine, hypoxanthine, and hepoxilin B3 increased in the lung might contribute to lung inflammations in exposure groups. For microbiotas in lung, PM2.5 exposure significantly declined the proportions of Halomonas and Lactobacillus. Meanwhile, the metabolites in gut including L-tryptophan, serotonin, and spermidine were up-regulated in exposure groups, which were linked to the decreasing of Oscillospira and Helicobacter in gut. Via lung-gut axis, the activations of pathways including Tryptophan metabolism, ABC transporters, Serotonergic synapse, and Linoleic acid metabolism contributed to the cross-talk between lung and gut tissues of mice mediated by PM2.5. In summary, the microbes including Lactobacillus, Oscillospira, and Parabacteroides, and metabolites including hepoxilin B3, guanosine, hypoxanthine, L-tryptophan, and spermidine were the main drivers. In this lung-gut axis study, we elucidated some pro- and pre-biotics in lung and gut microenvironments contributed to the adverse effects on lung functions induced by PM2.5 exposure.

Abstract
Linaprazan (AZD0865, TX07) is one of potassium-competitive acid blockers. However, linaprazan is rapidly excreted from the body, shortening its acid inhibition property. Linaprazan glurate (X842) is a prodrug of linaprazan with a prolonged inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion. Linaprazan glurate has entered clinical trials, but few studies have reported its metabolism in non-clinical and clinical settings. In this study, we studied the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, mass balance, and metabolism of linaprazan glurate in rats after a single oral dose of 2.4 mg/kg (100 µCi/kg) [14C]linaprazan glurate. The results demonstrated that linaprazan glurate was mainly excreted via feces in rats with 70.48% of the dose over 168 h. The plasma AUC0-∞ of linaprazan glurate in female rats was 2 times higher than that in male rats. Drug-related substances were mainly concentrated in the stomach, eyes, liver, small intestine, and large intestine after administration. In blood, drug-related substances were mostly distributed into plasma instead of hemocytes. In total, 13 metabolites were detected in rat plasma, urine, feces, and bile. M150 (2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid) was the predominant metabolite in plasma, accounting for 80.65% and 67.65% of AUC0-24h in male and female rats, respectively. Based on the structures, linaprazan glurate was mainly hydrolyzed into linaprazan, followed by a series of oxidation, dehydrogenation, and glucuronidation in rats. Besides, CES2 is the main metabolic enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of linaprazan glurate to linaprazan.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most concerned global health issues. However, comprehensive profiles of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in various environmental settings are still needed to address modern antibiotic resistome. Here, Arctic soils and representative contaminated samples from ARG pollution sources were analyzed using metagenomic approaches. The diversity and abundance of ARGs in Arctic soils were significantly lower than those in contaminated samples (p < 0.01). ARG profiles in Arctic soils were featured with the dominance of vanF, ceoB, and bacA related to multidrug and bacitracin, whereas those from ARG pollution sources were characterized by prevalent resistance to anthropogenic antibiotics such as sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and beta-lactams. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were found in all samples, and their abundance and relatedness to ARGs were both lower in Arctic soils than in polluted samples. Significant relationships between bacterial communities and ARGs were observed (p < 0.01). Cultural bacteria in Arctic soils had clinically-concerned resistance to erythromycin, vancomycin, ampicillin, etc., but ARGs relevant to those antibiotics were undetectable in their genomes. Our results suggested that Arctic environment could be an important reservoir of novel ARGs, and antibiotic stresses could cause ARG pollution via horizontal gene transfer and enrichment of resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Accurate retinal vessel segmentation is the prerequisite for early recognition and treatment of retina-related diseases. However, segmenting retinal vessels is still challenging due to the intricate vessel tree in fundus images, which has a significant number of tiny vessels, low contrast, and lesion interference. For this task, the u-shaped architecture (U-Net) has become the de-facto standard and has achieved considerable success. However, U-Net is a pure convolutional network, which usually shows limitations in global modelling. In this paper, we propose a novel Cross-scale U-Net with Semantic-position Dependencies (CS-UNet) for retinal vessel segmentation. In particular, we first designed a Semantic-position Dependencies Aggregator (SPDA) and incorporate it into each layer of the encoder to better focus on global contextual information by integrating the relationship of semantic and position. To endow the model with the capability of cross-scale interaction, the Cross-scale Relation Refine Module (CSRR) is designed to dynamically select the information associated with the vessels, which helps guide the up-sampling operation. Finally, we have evaluated CS-UNet on three public datasets: DRIVE, CHASE_DB1, and STARE. Compared to most existing state-of-the-art methods, CS-UNet demonstrated better performance.

Abstract
Since its initial identification, the Forkhead Box P2 gene (FOXP2) has maintained its singular status as the archetypal monogenic determinant implicated in Mendelian forms of human speech and language impairments. Despite the passage of two decades subsequent to its discovery, extant literature remains disproportionately sparse with regard to case-specific instances and loci of mutational perturbations. The objective of the current investigation centers on furnishing an enriched delineation of both its clinical manifestations and its mutational heterogeneity. Clinical phenotypes and peripheral blood samples were assiduously amassed from familial subjects. Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing methodologies were deployed for the unambiguous identification of potential genetic variants and for corroborating their co-segregation within the family pedigree. An exhaustive review of published literature focusing on patients manifesting speech and language disorders consequent to FOXP2 genetic anomalies was also undertaken. The investigation yielded the identification of a novel heterozygous variant, c.661del (p.L221Ffs*41), localized within the FOXP2 gene in the proband, an inheritance from his symptomatic mother. The proband presented with an array of symptoms, encompassing dysarthric speech, deficits in instruction comprehension, and communicative impediments. In comparison, the mother exhibited attenuated symptoms, including rudimentary verbalization capabilities punctuated by pronounced stuttering and dysarthria. A comprehensive analysis of articles archived in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) classified under "DM" disclosed the existence of 74 patients inclusive of the subjects under current examination, sub-divided into 19 patients with null variants, 5 patients with missense variants, and 50 patients with gross deletions or complex genomic rearrangements. A conspicuous predominance of delayed speech, impoverished current verbal abilities, verbal comprehension deficits, and learning difficulties were observed in patients harboring null or missense FOXP2 variants, as compared to their counterparts with gross deletions or complex rearrangements. Developmental delays, hypotonia, and craniofacial aberrations were exclusive to the latter cohort. The elucidated findings augment the existing corpus of knowledge on the genetic architecture influencing both the proband and his mother within this specified familial context. Of critical importance, these discoveries furnish a robust molecular framework conducive to the prenatal diagnostic evaluations of prospective progeny within this familial lineage.

Abstract
A 58-year-old male patient was admitted to Peking University First Hospital (Beijing, China) due to recurrent hematuria, proteinuria and kidney dysfunction. The patient was positive for proteinase-3 (PR3)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA). Pathology of the kidney showed focal proliferative necrotizing glomerulonephritis with crescent formation and immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis. The patient was diagnosed with PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), received intensive immunosuppressive therapy and experienced two relapses within 1 year. After admission, aortic valve vegetation was observed via echocardiography. The patient subsequently received antibiotic treatment and valve replacement, and achieved complete remission of kidney and cardiac function. The present case emphasized the importance of identifying secondary reasons for ANCA formation, especially infective endocarditis in patients with PR3-AAV.

Abstract
Dysphagia is a common complication in patients with oral cancer who have undergone free flap transplantation. The aim of this cluster randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of personalized oral exercises on swallowing function in this group of patients. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 34) or control (n = 34) group. Intervention group patients received personalized oral exercises starting on day 6 after surgery. Swallowing function was evaluated on days 6 and 15, and at 1 month postoperative using the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability-Oral Cancer tool (MASA-OC). On day 15 and at 1 month after surgery, the total MASA-OC score (P = 0.003, P < 0.001) and the mouth opening (P = 0.001, P < 0.001) and lip seal (both P < 0.001) item scores showed a significantly greater improvement in the intervention group than in the control group. Moreover, the changes in salivation (P < 0.001) and tongue movement (P = 0.025) scores at 1 month after surgery were significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group. There was no significant difference between the groups in the change in tongue strength scores on day 15 or at 1 month postoperative (P = 0.476, P = 0.223). Personalized oral exercises can improve swallowing function in patients with oral cancer after free flap transplantation.

Abstract
Since nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N) input has proved an effective approach for the treatment of black and odorous river waterbody, it was controversial whether the total nitrogen concentration standard should be raised when the effluent from the sewage treatment plant is discharged into the polluted river. To reveal the effect of exogenous nitrate (NO3--N) on black odorous waterbody, sediments with different features from contaminated rivers were collected, and the changes of physical and chemical characteristics and microbial community structure in sediments before and after the addition of exogenous NO3--N were investigated. The results showed that after the input of NO3--N, reducing substances such as acid volatile sulfide (AVS) in the sediment decreased by 80 % on average, ferrous (Fe2+) decreased by 50 %, yet the changing trend of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) in some sediment samples increased while others decreased. High-throughput sequencing results showed that the abundance of Thiobacillus at most sites increased significantly, becoming the dominant genus in the sediment, and the abundance of functional genes in the metabolome increased, such as soxA, soxX, soxY, soxZ. Network analysis showed that sediment microorganisms evolved from a single sulfur oxidation ecological function to diverse ecological functions, such as nitrogen cycle nirB, nirD, nirK, nosZ, and aerobic decomposition. In summary, inputting an appropriate amount of exogenous NO3--N is beneficial for restoring and maintaining the oxidation states of river sediment ecosystems.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced neuroinflammation is significantly associated with sepsis-related brain dysfunction. Remimazolam is a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine anesthetic with multiple organ protective effects. However, it is unknown whether remimazolam can ameliorate LPS-induced brain impairment. In this study, Lipopolysaccharide (5 mg/kg, LPS) severely impaired Sprague-Dawley rats spatial learning ability, memory, and cognitive function. However, remimazolam treatment showed a protective effect on LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction. Remimazolam partly reversed LPS-induced splenomegaly, decreased serum cytokine expression, suppressed hippocampal M1 microglial activation, and mitigated oxidative stress injury and neuroinflammation. Electroacupuncture (EA) or PNU282987 treatment improved LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction and also significantly inhibited neuroinflammation and systemic inflammation. However, MLA, ML385, or subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve (SDV) treatment abolished the protective effects of remimazolam. Further mechanistic studies showed that remimazolam induces protective effects by activating subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve target α7nAChR-mediated Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. These results demonstrate that remimazolam can up-regulate α7nAChR, Cyto-Nrf2, HO-1, and cognitive-related (CREB, BDNF, PSD95) protein expressions, suppress M1 microglia, ameliorate neuroinflammation or systemic inflammation, and reverse cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, this study provides insight into a new therapeutic target for the treatment of sepsis-induced cerebral dysfunction.

Abstract
Heterogeneous electrocatalysis closely relies on the electronic structure of the catalytic materials. The ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition of the materials also involves a change in the state of electrons that could impact the electrocatalytic activity, but such correlation remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity could be regulated as exampled by hydrogen evolution reaction catalysis over two-dimensional ferroelectric CuInP2S6. The obvious discontinuity in the overpotential and apparent activation energy values for CuInP2S6 electrode are illustrated during the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition caused by copper displacement around Tc point (318 K), revealing the ferroelectro-catalytic effect on thermodynamics and kinetics of electrocatalysis. When loading Pt single atom on the CuInP2S6, the paraelectric phase one showed an improved hydrogen evolution activity with smaller apparent activation energy over the ferroelectric phase counterpart. This is attributed to the copper hopping between two sulfur planes, which alternate between strong and weak H adsorption at the Pt sites to simultaneously promote H+ reactant adsorption and H2 product desorption.

Abstract
Bacterial flagellin is a potent immunomodulatory agent. Previously, we successfully obtained flagellin from Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (FliCEcN) and constructed two mutants with varying degrees of deletion in its highly variable regions (HVRs). We found that there was a difference in immune stimulation levels between the two mutants, with the mutant lacking the D2-D3 domain pair of FliCEcN having a better adjuvant effect. Therefore, this study further analyzed the structural characteristics of the aforementioned FliCEcN and its two mutants and measured their levels of Caco-2 cell stimulation to explore the impact of different domains in the HVRs of FliCEcN on its structure and immune efficacy. This study utilized AlphaFold2, SERS (Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy), and CD (circular dichroism) techniques to analyze the structural characteristics of FliCEcN and its mutants, FliCΔ174-506 and FliCΔ274-406, and tested their immune effects by stimulating Caco-2 cells in vitro. The results indicate that the D2 and D3 domains of FliCEcN have more complex interactions compared to the D1-D2 domain pair., and these domains also play a role in molecular docking with TLR5 (Toll-like receptor 5). Furthermore, FliCΔ274-406 has more missing side chain and characteristic amino acid peaks than FliCΔ174-506. The FliCEcN group was found to stimulate higher levels of IL-10 (interleukin 10) secretion, while the FliCΔ174-506 and FliCΔ274-406 groups had higher levels of IL-6 (interleukin 6) and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) secretion. In summary, the deletion of different domains in the HVRs of FliCEcN affects its structural characteristics, its interaction with TLR5, and the secretion of immune factors by Caco-2 cells.

Abstract
Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems are large reservoirs of organic carbon1,2. Climate warming may stimulate ecosystem respiration and release carbon into the atmosphere3,4. The magnitude and persistency of this stimulation and the environmental mechanisms that drive its variation remain uncertain5-7. This hampers the accuracy of global land carbon-climate feedback projections7,8. Here we synthesize 136 datasets from 56 open-top chamber in situ warming experiments located at 28 arctic and alpine tundra sites which have been running for less than 1 year up to 25 years. We show that a mean rise of 1.4 °C [confidence interval (CI) 0.9-2.0 °C] in air and 0.4 °C [CI 0.2-0.7 °C] in soil temperature results in an increase in growing season ecosystem respiration by 30% [CI 22-38%] (n = 136). Our findings indicate that the stimulation of ecosystem respiration was due to increases in both plant-related and microbial respiration (n = 9) and continued for at least 25 years (n = 136). The magnitude of the warming effects on respiration was driven by variation in warming-induced changes in local soil conditions, that is, changes in total nitrogen concentration and pH and by context-dependent spatial variation in these conditions, in particular total nitrogen concentration and the carbon:nitrogen ratio. Tundra sites with stronger nitrogen limitations and sites in which warming had stimulated plant and microbial nutrient turnover seemed particularly sensitive in their respiration response to warming. The results highlight the importance of local soil conditions and warming-induced changes therein for future climatic impacts on respiration.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common and critical clinical condition characterized by diffuse damage to the lung interstitium, alveoli, and increased permeability of pulmonary blood vessels. CT can be used to assess the imaging features, severity, and prediction of ARDS, but it requires patient transportation to the CT room and is only a static examination. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an increasingly widely used monitoring tool in clinical applications in recent years. It enables continuous real-time assessment of lung ventilation distribution at the bedside and has high clinical value in optimizing mechanical ventilation parameters for critically ill patients. This article introduces the basic principles of EIT and how to better utilize EIT technology to guide mechanical ventilation treatment for ARDS patients.

Abstract
Penthorum chinense Pursh (PCP), as a traditional medicine of Miao nationality in China, is often used for the treatment of various liver diseases. At present, information regarding the in vivo process of PCP is lacking. Herein, a sensitive and robust ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the quantification of several components to study their pharmacokinetics, tissues distribution and excretion in normal and acute alcoholic liver injury (ALI) rats. Prepared samples were separated on a Thermo C18 column (4.6 mm × 50 mm, 2.4 μm) using water containing 0.1 % formic acid (A) and acetonitrile (B) as the mobile phase for gradient elution. Negative electrospray ionization was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode for each component. The validated UPLC-MS/MS assay gave good linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery rate, matrix effect and stability. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and excretion in normal and acute ALI rats. There were differences in pharmacokinetic process, tissue distribution and excretion characteristics, indicating that ALI had a significant influence on the in vivo process of PCP in rats. The research provided an experimental basis for the study of PCP quality control and further application in the clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Causal association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) has been controversial. This study used Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to clarify the potential causal connection between these two conditions. OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to investigate the causal relationship between COPD and HF based on the hypothesis that the genetic predisposition to COPD could lead to an increased risk of developing HF METHODS: A two-sample MR analysis of genetic data was performed for COPD and HF. This study was based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, including 6,915 patients with confirmed COPD and 186,723 controls. The odds ratios (ORs) and their 95 % confidence intervals (95 %CIs) were estimated using a fixed effects inverse variance weighting (IVW) method. Several supplementary statistical methods, including MR-Egger, weighted median, maximum likelihood, penalized weighted median, and random effects IVW, were applied to enhance the robustness of findings. Moreover, MR-PRESSO was employed as an alternative method for statistical detection. RESULTS Pooled data for HF were obtained from different GWASs, including 4,7309 confirmed HF patients and 930,014 controls. The MR analysis, based on the IVW model, revealed that COPD was significantly associated with an increased risk of HF. Specifically, the obtained findings showed that COPD patients had a higher risk of developing HF (Model 1: OR = 1.068, 95 %CI: 1.006-1.134, p = 0.031; Model 2: OR = 1.038, 95 %CI: 1.006-1.071, p = 0.020), indicating a causal relationship between COPD and HF. No evidence was found to suggest a reverse causal effect of HF on COPD incidence. CONCLUSION The MR analysis substantiates a causal link between COPD and HF, with no evidence supporting a reverse causation from HF to COPD. These findings underscore the importance of proactive COPD management as a potential strategy to prevent the development of HF, highlighting the need for targeted interventions in patients with COPD to mitigate their risk of HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of physical activity in diabetes is critical, influencing this disease's development, man-agement, and overall outcomes. In China, 22.3% of adults do not meet the minimum level of physical activity recommended by the World Health Organization. Therefore, it is imperative to identify the factors that contributing to lack of physical activity must be identified.
AIM To investigate the relationship among delay discounting, delay aversion, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and various levels of physical activity in Chinese adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
METHODS In 2023, 400 adults with T2DM were recruited from the People's Hospital of Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province. A face-to-face questionnaire was used to gather demographic data and details on physical activity, delay discounting, and delay aversion. In addition, HbA1c levels were measured in all 400 participants. The primary independent variables considered were delay discounting and delay aversion. The outcome variables included HbA1c levels and different intensity levels of physical activity, including walking, moderate physical activity, and vigorous physical activity. Multiple linear regression models were utilized to assess the relationship between delay discounting, delay aversion, and HbA1c levels, along with the intensity of different physical activity measured in met-hours per week.
RESULTS After controlling for the sample characteristics, delay discounting was negatively associated with moderate physical activity (β = -2.386, 95%CI: -4.370 to -0.401). Meanwhile, delay aversion was negatively associated with the level of moderate physical activity (β = -3.527, 95% CI: -5.578 to -1.476) in the multiple linear regression model, with statistically significant differences.
CONCLUSION Elevated delay discounting and increased delay aversion correlated with reduced levels of moderate physical activity. Result suggests that delay discounting and aversion may influence engagement in moderate physical activity. This study recommends that health administration and government consider delay discounting and delay aversion when formulating behavioral intervention strategies and treatment guidelines involving physical activity for patients with T2DM, which may increase participation in physical activity. This study contributes a novel perspective to the research on physical activity in adults with T2DM by examining the significance of future health considerations and the role of emotional responses to delays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that depressive symptoms in older adults was associated with functional disability, including basic activities of daily living (BADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). However, little is known about the impact of different patterns of functional disability and new-onset functional disability on subsequent depressive symptoms. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of various patterns of functional disability and new-onset functional disability on depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults aged 60 years and above. METHOD The study included 3242 older adults from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), which was conducted from 2011 to 2018. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the associations between patterns of functional disability and depressive symptoms. The associations were also examined in the population with new-onset functional disability. RESULT During 15,321 person-years of follow-up, 946 depressive symptoms occurred. The hazard ratios (HRs) of depressive symptoms were 1.29 (95 % confidence intervals [CI]: 1.05-1.58) for IADLs disability, 1.22 (95 % CI: 0.75-1.55) for BADLs disability, and 1.78 (95 % CI: 1.41-2.22) for both IADLs and BADLs disabilities. In the analysis of new-onset functional disability, the HRs were 1.50 (95 % CI: 1.06-2.13) for onset IADLs disability, 1.28 (95 % CI: 0.85-1.91) for onset BADLs disability, and 1.69 (95 % CI: 1.03-2.76) for both onset BADLs and IADLs disabilities. LIMITATIONS Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, which has limitations in diagnosing clinical depression. CONCLUSION Functional disability increases the risk of depressive symptoms, particularly impaired IADLs function. Psychological care for older adults with functional disability should be strengthened.

Abstract
Pancreas is one of the most challenging organs for CT image automatic segmentation due to its complex shapes and fuzzy edges. It is simple and universal to use the traditional segmentation method as a post-processor of deep learning method for segmentation accuracy improvement. As the most suitable traditional segmentation method for pancreatic segmentation, the active contour model(ACM), still suffers from the problems of weak boundary leakage and slow contour evolution speed. Therefore, a convenient post-processor for any deep learning methods using superpixel-based active contour model(SbACM) is proposed to improve the segmentation accuracy. Firstly, the superpixels with strong adhesion to edges are used to guide the design of narrowband and energy function. A multi-scale evolution strategy is also proposed to reduce the weak boundary leakage and comprehensively improve the evolution speed. Secondly, using the original image and the coarse segmentation results obtained from deep learning methods as inputs, the proposed SbACM method is used as a post-processor for fine segmentation. Finally, the pancreatic segmentation public dataset TCIA from the National Institutes of Health(NIH, USA) is used for evaluation, and the Wilcoxon Test confirmed that the improvement of proposed method is statistically significant. The results show that: (1) The superpixel-based narrowband shape and dynamic edge energy of the proposed SbACM work for boundary leakage reduction, as well as the multi-scale evolution strategy and dynamic narrowband width for the evolution speed improvement; (2)As a post-processor, SbACM can increase the Dice similarity coefficients(DSC) of five typical UNet-based models, including UNet, SS-UNet, PBR UNet, ResDSN, and nnUNet, 2.35% in average and 9.04% in maximum. (3)Based on the best backbone nnUNet, the proposed post-processor performs better than either adding edge awareness or adding edge loss in segmentation enhancement without increasing the complexity and training time of deep learning models.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aim to establish an LPS-induced human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) inflammatory injury model and explore the optimal conditions for inducing its injury. We expect to provide modeling references for the related experiments of vascular inflammatory diseases. METHODS HAECs were cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0.1, 1, 10, 50, 100 μg/mL) for 6, 12, and 24 h to establish the HAECs inflammatory injury model. The cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay; the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in the cells were detected by RT-PCR;the apoptosis rate of the cells was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS ① Within 24 h of LPS treatment, the cell viability of the 0.1 and 1 μg/mL groups showed an overall increasing trend with time, while the cell viability of the 10, 50, and 100 μg/mL groups increased first and then decreased with time, and the cell viability of 50 and 100 μg/mL groups was significantly lower than the normal control group at 24 h (P<0.01). ② RT-PCR results showed that after 50 and 100 μg/mL LPS for 24 h, the inflammatory cytokines all showed an apparent upward trend compared with the normal control group (P<0.05), which was more significant in the 100 μg/mL group. ③ After 100 μg/mL LPS for 24 h, the apoptotic necrosis rate of HAECs was higher than the normal control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS This experiment successfully established a HAECs injury model, indicating that the optimal conditions for inducing injury are an LPS concentration of 100 μg/mL and a treatment time of 24 h.

Abstract
Appropriate DNA end synapsis, regulated by core components of the synaptic complex including KU70-KU80, LIG4, XRCC4, and XLF, is central to non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair of chromatinized DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, it remains enigmatic whether chromatin modifications can influence the formation of NHEJ synaptic complex at DNA ends, and if so, how this is achieved. Here, we report that the mitotic deacetylase complex (MiDAC) serves as a key regulator of DNA end synapsis during NHEJ repair in mammalian cells. Mechanistically, MiDAC removes combinatorial acetyl marks on histone H2A (H2AK5acK9ac) around DSB-proximal chromatin, suppressing hyperaccumulation of bromodomain-containing protein BRD4 that would otherwise undergo liquid-liquid phase separation with KU80 and prevent the proper installation of LIG4-XRCC4-XLF onto DSB ends. This study provides mechanistic insight into the control of NHEJ synaptic complex assembly by a specific chromatin signature and highlights the critical role of H2A hypoacetylation in restraining unscheduled compartmentalization of DNA repair machinery.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) exhibits a high theoretical capacity, excellent electrical conductivity properties, and remarkable interlayer spacing, making it an ideal electrode material for supercapacitors. However, during the charge and discharge processes, Bi is prone to volume expansion and pulverization, resulting in a decline in the capacitance. Deposition of a nonmetal on its surface is considered an effective way to modulate its morphology and electronic structure. Herein, we employed the chemical vapor deposition technique to fabricate Se-decorated Bi nanosheets on a nickel foam (NF) substrate. Various characterizations indicated that the deposition of Se on Bi nanosheets regulated their surface morphology and chemical state, while sustaining their pristine phase structure. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that Se-decorated Bi nanosheets exhibited a 51.1% improvement in capacity compared with pristine Bi nanosheets (1313 F/g compared to 869 F/g at a current density of 5 A/g). The energy density of the active material in an assembled asymmetric supercapacitor could reach 151.2 Wh/kg at a power density of 800 W/kg. These findings suggest that Se decoration is a promising strategy to enhance the capacity of the Bi nanosheets.

Abstract
Although the stimulative effects on the normal behaviors of fish posed by ketamine (KET) were well-studied, the adverse effects on the behavioral functions induced by KET at nighttime were unknown. Here, we used zebrafish larvae as a model exposed to KET (10, 50, 100, and 250 ng/L) at environmental levels for 21 days. The behavioral functions at nighttime, morphological changes during exposure stage, and alterations on the associated genes transcriptional levels of fish were determined. The difficultly initiating sleep was found in the fish exposed to KET, while the sleep duration of the animals was at the normal levels in exposure groups. The significant suppressions of the developmentally relevant genes, including bmp2, bmp4, and pth2ra were consistent with the developmental abnormalities of fish found in exposure groups. Moreover, the expression of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor increased and melatonin (MTN) receptor decreased while the levels of GABA and MTN remained unchanged after exposure, by gene expression analysis and molecular docking. In addition, the transcriptional expression of apoptotic genes, including tp53, aifm1, and casp6, was significantly upregulated by KET. After a 7-day recovery, the insomnia-like behaviors (shorter sleep duration) were observed in zebrafish from the 250 ng/L-KET group. Accordingly, the adverse outcome pathway framework of KET was constructed by prognostic assessment of zebrafish larvae. This study suggested that the adverse outcomes of KET on the sleep health of organisms at environmentally relevant concentrations should be concerned.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of posterior lumbar interbody fusion combined with Ponte osteotomy in the treatment of patients with degenerative scoliosis. Methods: The medical records and imaging data of degenerative scoliosis in department of orthopedics, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2013 to 2022 were retrospectively collected, and the shortest follow-up time was 1 year. A total of 38 patients were included, including 13 males and 25 females, aged 50-87(65.6±10.9) years old.The follow-up was12-119(43±20) months. Standing position full spine anteroposterior lateral X-ray examinations were performed on all patients preoperatively, postoperatively, and at latest follow-up. The length of hospital stay, complications, operation time, blood loss, instrumented segment, fusion segmen were recorded. The clinical scores and coronasagittal imaging indicators at three time points were compared. Results: The operation time was (274.5±70.5)min, and intraoperative blood loss was (619.2±93.5)ml. The coronal vertical axis was improved from (2.9±1.8)cm preoperatively to (1.2±1.0)cm postoperatively. The preoperative coronal Cobb angle was 16.6°±9.9° and the immediate postoperative correction was 6.4°±4.0°(t=-6.83, P<0.001). The difference was statistically significant (t=-6.12, P<0.001). The coronal Cobb Angle at the last follow-up was 5.7°±3.7°, and there was no significant orthopaedic loss at the last follow-up (t=-6.12, P<0.001).The sagittal vertical axis decreased from (5.6±3.9)cm preoperatively to (3.2±2.5) cm immediately after operation (t=-6.83,P<0.001), and was well maintained at the last follow-up[(2.7±1.8) cm,t=-7.77,P<0.001]. Lumbar lordosis increased from 21.8°±10.2° preoperatively to 35.8°±8.3° postoperatively(t=12.01, P<0.001)and 40.1°±8.6° at last follow-up(t=-10.21, P<0.001). Oswestry disability score (ODI score), visual analogue score (VAS) low back pain score and VAS leg pain score were also lower after surgery than before surgery (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Posterior lumbar interbody fusion combined with Ponte osteotomy can significantly improve the coronal and sagittal plane deformity and postoperative functional score in adult patients with degenerative scoliosis.

Abstract
Cellulolytic bacteria ferment dietary fiber into short-chain fatty acids, which play an important role in improving fiber utilization and maintaining intestinal health. Safe and effective cellulolytic bacteria are highly promising probiotic candidates. In this study, we isolated three strains of Bacillus cereus, which exhibited cellulolytic properties, from Kele pig feces. To assess the genetic basis of cellulose degradation by the isolates, whole-genome sequencing was used to detect functional genes associated with cellulose metabolism. Subsequently, we identified that the B. cereus CL2 strain was safe in mice by monitoring body weight changes, performing histopathologic evaluations, and determining routine blood indices. We next evaluated the biological characteristics of the CL2 strain in terms of its growth, tolerance, and antibiotic susceptibility, with a focus on its ability to produce short-chain fatty acids. Finally, the intestinal flora structure of the experimental animals was analyzed to assess the intestinal environment compatibility of the CL2 strain. In this study, we isolated a cellulolytic B. cereus CL2, which has multiple cellulolytic functional genes and favorable biological characteristics, from the feces of Kele pigs. Moreover, CL2 could produce a variety of short-chain fatty acids and does not significantly affect the diversity of the intestinal flora. In summary, the cellulolytic bacterium B. cereus CL2 is a promising strain for use as a commercial probiotic or in feed supplement. IMPORTANCE Short-chain fatty acids are crucial constituents of the intestinal tract, playing an important and beneficial role in preserving the functional integrity of the intestinal barrier and modulating both immune responses and the structure of the intestinal flora. In the intestine, short-chain fatty acids are mainly produced by bacterial fermentation of cellulose. Therefore, we believe that safe and efficient cellulolytic bacteria have the potential to be novel probiotics. In this study, we systematically evaluated the safety and biological characteristics of the cellulolytic bacterium B. cereus CL2 and provide evidence for its use as a probiotic.

Abstract
Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is very rare and difficult to pathologically diagnose especially on core needle biopsy. Only 11 cases of breast primary angiosarcoma diagnosed on core needle biopsy have been reported in English literature of last 5 years. We reported a case of primary angiosarcoma of the breast diagnosed on core needle biopsy and summarized the useful morphological clues in literature which prompted the diagnosis of angiosarcoma. A 50-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass in her left breast for a year. She never received breast surgery or radiotherapy before. Microscopically, the core needle biopsy specimen displayed interanastomosing vascular spaces that dissected through the mammary stroma and adipose tissue. The vascular channels were mostly lined by a single layer of endothelial cells with a mild degree of nuclear atypia, whereas focally, the endothelia were multilayered, with tufting and formation of glomerulus-like structures. CD31, CD34, and ERG immunochemical stain highlighted the endothelial cells lining on the vascular spaces. The Ki67 index was about 10%, and MYC was negative. Primary angiosarcomas have significant overlaps of morphological features with benign and borderline vascular lesions. Anastomosing vascular spaces, cytologic atypia, endothelial mitotic activity, infiltration of glandular parenchyma, elevated Ki-67, and high cellularity are all useful clues to diagnose angiosarcomas. Among them, anastomosing vascular spaces with infiltrated growth pattern especially invasion into the breast intralobular stroma and adipose tissue was the most common character of angiosarcomas which alert the possibility of malignancy in core needle biopsy. However, an accurate diagnosis demands integration of various histological clues and multidisciplinary discussion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To comprehensively assess the association of husband smoking with wives' thyrotropin abnormality. METHODS This population-based retrospective cohort study included 2 406 090 Chinese reproductive-aged women who had participated twice in the National Free Pre-pregnancy Checkups Project between 2010 and 2020. Multivariate-adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for subnormal and supranormal thyrotropin were estimated according to the husband's smoking status. RESULTS Husband smoking at the first visit was associated with a 17% (15%-20%) and 26% (24%-28%) increased odds of subnormal thyrotropin and supranormal thyrotropin respectively compared to participants in neither-smoker group. In non-smoking participants with normal thyrotropin levels at the first visit, the corresponding increased risk of subnormal thyrotropin and supranormal thyrotropin at the second visit were 15% (12%-18%) and 19% (16%-21%) in contrast to participants without husband-smoking exposure. In non-smoking participants with abnormal thyrotropin levels at their first visit, husband smoking cessation was associated with 27% (17%-35%) and 36% (31%-40%) reduced odds of subnormal thyrotropin and supranormal thyrotropin at the second visit compared with the participants whose husband still smoking at the second visit. CONCLUSION Husband smoking was associated with wives' subnormal thyrotropin and supranormal thyrotropin, and cessation of husband smoking could reduce the odds of thyrotropin abnormality. Couple-focused smoking intervention should be developed to reduce the burden of asymptomatic thyroid disease in females.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations of plant-based dietary patterns with depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults have not been extensively studied. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine these associations in Chinese older adults. METHODS Data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) was employed in the present study. The simplified food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the overall plant-based diet index (PDI), healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI), and unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI). The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-10 (CES-D-10) was used to evaluate depression symptoms, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) was used to assess anxiety symptoms. This study employed logistic regression and linear regression to examine the associations between plant-based dietary patterns and symptoms of depression and anxiety. RESULTS This study included 11,971 older adults, with a mean age of 83.23 ± 11.10 years. The results indicated that PDI and hPDI were negative associated with depression symptoms (adjusted β -0.09, 95 % CI -0.11, -0.07) (adjusted β -0.09, 95 % CI -0.11, -0.07) and anxiety symptoms (adjusted β -0.03, 95 % CI -0.04, -0.02) (adjusted β -0.04, 95 % CI -0.05, -0.02), while uPDI was positive associated with depression symptoms (adjusted β 0.09, 95 % CI 0.07, 0.11) and anxiety symptoms (adjusted β 0.04, 95 % CI 0.03, 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The findings from this study have the potential to promote healthy dietary patterns in older adults, and may have implications for the prevention and management of depression and anxiety in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of gentamycin irrigation in preventing postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) in emergency neurosurgical procedures. METHODS A total of 518 consecutive emergency neurosurgeries, including craniotomies, endoscopic and burr hole procedures were reviewed retrospectively. Patients received either only normal saline (NS) irrigation or NS irrigation with gentamycin added (80 mg/L) during the whole process of surgery. SSIs including wound infection and intracranial infection were the primary outcome. SSI was considered while purulence was observed during wound dressing and confirmed with bacterial culture of wound exudation. In addition, positive result of bacterial growth culture of cerebrospinal fluid was also considered as infection. Infection rates were calculated 28 days after surgery. Statistical analysis was performed using t test or Chi-squared test where appropriate. RESULTS This study included 444 patients. Gentamycin was used in 179 (40.3%) patients. Only 2 (1.1%) of 179 patients receiving gentamycin irrigation had an infection. However, among the other 265 patients receiving only NS irrigation, the infection rate was 8.3%. With the addition of gentamycin, the infection rate was decreased by 86.7% (P = 0.001). The two infected patients in gentamycin group were compromised postoperatively: one patient had removed his own extraventricular drainage tube accidentally due to restlessness, and the other had severely contaminated his wound with vomitus during the intracranial drainage tube removal process. If these two patients were excluded from analysis, the effective infection rate using gentamycin irrigation is 0%. CONCLUSION The gentamycin plus NS irrigation during emergency neurosurgical procedures can lead to a significantly lower rate of postoperative infection than when NS is used alone.

Abstract
DNA aptamer superparamagnetic photonic crystals (DSPCs), enriched with a highly selective cytosine-rich mismatched single-stranded DNA aptamer (CRDA), were successfully employed in a novel visual detection strategy for the detection of silver ions (Ag+). The technologies of superparamagnetic colloidal nanospheres (SCNs), DNA aptamer, and photonic crystals were combined to fabricate DPSCs. The aptamer was immobilized via electrostatic adsorption with amino groups that were chemically introduced on the surface of the SCNs, forming D-NH-SCNs. The detection is achieved by forming an Ag+ complex (C-Ag+-C) between Ag+ and D-NH-SCN. The DSPCs assembled under a magnetic field by D-NH-SCNs effectively detected Ag+ in the range of 1 μg/L to 5 mg/L, corresponding to the critical concentration range for heavy metals in drinking water. During the detection, the DSPC exhibited a wavelength blueshift from 652.8 nm to 626.4 nm (26.4 nm), as well as changes in reflection intensity. Notably, when detecting Ag+, a change in DSPC color from orange to yellow was observed. In summary, the developed visual detection material facilitates direct Ag + sensing. In the future, different DNA aptamers will be modified further to detect various targets in the fields of medicine, environmental monitoring, and food safety.

Abstract
Slow multi-proton coupled electron transfer kinetics and unexpected desorption of intermediates severely hinder the selectivity of CO2 methanation. In this work, a one-stone-two-bird strategy of pumping protons and improving adsorption configuration/capability enabled by electron localization is developed to be highly efficient for CH4 electrosynthesis over Cu single atoms anchored on bismuth vacancies of BiVO4 (Bi1-xVO4─Cu), with superior kinetic isotope effect and high CH4 Faraday efficiency (92%), far outperforming state-of-the-art electrocatalysts for CO2 methanation. Control experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the bismuth vacancies (VBi) not only act as active sites for H2O dissociation but also induce electron transfer toward Cu single-atom sites. The VBi-induced electron localization pumps *H from VBi sites to Cu single atoms, significantly promoting the generation and stabilization of the pivotal intermediate (*CHO) for highly selective CH4 electrosynthesis. The metal vacancies as new initiators show enormous potential in the proton transfer-involved hydrogenative conversion processes.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is associated with a series of pathological symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), including α-synuclein aggregation and dopaminergic neuronal death. The NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a crucial role in neuroinflammation at the lesion site and is a promising target for PD treatment. In this study, a nanoscale metal-organic framework (Zr-FeP MOF) based nanozyme is fabricated using Fe-5,10,15,20-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (Fe-TCPP) and Zr6 cluster as ligands. The Zr-FeP MOF is subsequently encapsulated with mannitol (Man)-liposome, resulting in the formation of Zr-FeP MOF@Man liposome (MOF@Man Liposome) nanozyme system. The in vitro studies show that this nanozyme system is effective in relieving the formation of NLRP3 inflammasome and mitochondrial dysfunction. In mouse models of PD, the nanozyme system demonstrates a significant blood-brain barrier-crossing capability attributed to the Man-mediated brain targeting. Additionally, transcriptomic and biochemical studies show that the nanozyme system effectively inhibits the formation and assembly of inflammasome components, mitigating the activation of glial cells and neuroinflammatory response, and ultimately regulating the pathological symptoms of PD effectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of weight loss surgery is related to several factors, and for super-obese patients, the rate of weight loss failure and weight recovery after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is high. Relevant studies have shown that the weight loss effect also correlates with total small bowel length (TSBL) and biliopancreatic (BP) and Roux limbs. However, there are few studies on the relationship between TSBL and anthropometric parameters, the BP limb, the Roux limb, and weight loss effect, and no relevant reports have been reported in China. OBJECTIVES The objective was to study the relationship between the total length of the small intestine and anthropometric parameters in the Chinese population. The effect of the Roux limb/biliopancreatic limb (RL/BPL) ratio on weight loss and diabetes remission in RYGB patients 1 year after surgery was evaluated to find the appropriate ratio relationship. METHODS In this prospective study, 148 patients between the ages of 19 and 68 years who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were enrolled. Height, weight, BMI, the BP limb, the Roux limb, fasting blood glucose (FBG), etc., were noted. To explore the correlation between the total length of the small intestine and these values. Subsequently, the 148 patients were followed up for 1 year after surgery. The patients diagnosed with T2DM before surgery were screened out, and 56 patients were finally identified according to the postoperative follow-up, in which BPL = 50 cm and RL = 150 cm, 175 cm, and 200 cm, respectively. RL/BPL was divided into 3, 3.5, and 4 groups according to the proportional relationship to explore the relationship between RL/BPL and diabetes remission and weight loss. RESULTS (1) The study included 148 patients (61 women and 87 men). The mean age was 35.68 ± 10.46 years, weight = 127.46 ± 34.51 kg, height = 167.83 ± 9.16 cm, BMI = 44.94 ± 10.58 kg/m2. The average TSBL value was 714.41 ± 101.08 cm. Linear regression analysis showed that TSBL was positively correlated with height, weight, neck circumference, chest circumference, waist circumference, and Roux limb. (2) Fifty-six patients with T2DM who were followed up 1 year after surgery were divided into three groups. Group 1: BPL = 50 cm, RL = 150 cm (n = 20); group 2: BPL = 50 cm, RL = 175 cm (n = 26); group 3: BPL = 50 cm, RL = 200 cm (n = 10); RL/BPL = 3 was associated with higher weight loss than the other groups. The remission rate of diabetes did not differ between the three groups. CONCLUSIONS TSBL was positively correlated with height, weight, neck circumference, chest circumference, waist circumference, and Roux limb. The TSBL of males was significantly higher than that of females. Among patients with T2DM who participated in the follow-up 1 year after surgery, RL/BPL = 3 (n = 20) had greater weight loss than the other groups.

Abstract
Hydrothermal aqueous phase (HAP) contains abundant organics and nutrients, which have potential to partially replace chemical fertilizers for enhancing plant growth and soil quality. However, the underlying reasons for low available nitrogen (N) and high N loss in dryland soil remain unclear. A cultivation experiment was conducted using HAP or urea to supply 160 mg N kg-1 in dryland soil. The dynamic changes of soil organic matters (SOMs), pH, N forms, and N cycling genes were investigated. Results showed that SOMs from HAP stimulated urease activity and ureC, which enhanced ammonification in turn. The high-molecular-weight SOMs relatively increased during 5-30 d and then biodegraded during 30-90 d, which SUV254 changed from 0.51 to 1.47 to 0.29 L-1 m-1. This affected ureC that changed from 5.58 to 5.34 to 5.75 lg copies g-1. Relative to urea, addition HAP enhanced ON mineralization by 8.40 times during 30-90 d due to higher ureC. It decreased NO3-N by 65.35%-77.32% but increased AOB and AOA by 0.25 and 0.90 lg copies g-1 at 5 d and 90 d, respectively. It little affected nirK and increased nosZ by 0.41 lg copies g-1 at 90 d. It increased N loss by 4.59 times. The soil pH for HAP was higher than that for urea after 11 d. The comprehensive effects of high SOMs and pH, including ammonification enhancement and nitrification activity inhibition, were the primary causes of high N loss. The core idea for developing high-efficiency HAP fertilizer is to moderately inhibit ammonification and promote nitrification.

Abstract
Biocompatible fatty acids are natural biological materials which exhibit widespread biomedical applications. Nevertheless, their application in vesicle forms is hampered by strong pH sensitivity and poor stability to changes in ionic strength, temperature, and storage. In the investigation, the incorporation of alkyl glycoside (APG), a surfactant with non-ionic properties, into the oleic acid (OA) vesicles was undertaken as a means to address this issue. The newly formed OA/APG composite vesicles form in a pH range of between 5.4 and 7.4, which is close to the pH range of the physiological environment. The stability studies results showed that the OA/APG composite vesicles have excellent stability in terms of ionic strengths, temperature and storage. The formation of NAR-loaded OA/APG composite vesicles was demonstrated through FT-IR, DSC and XRD. In vitro topical delivery and skin retention studies confirmed that the composite vesicles improve skin permeation rate and have better skin permeation behavior. Antioxidant activity experiments confirmed that the antioxidant effect composite vesicles were significantly increased as compared to the naringenin (NAR). This finding has theoretical implications for the use of drug-loaded fatty acid vesicles in cosmetics industries and topical delivery systems.

Abstract
AIMS SIRT1 deficiency has been associated with diabetes, and a variant of the SIRT1 gene has been found to be involved in human autoimmune diabetes; however, it is unclear whether this genetic variation exists in Han Chinese with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and whether it contributes to development of T1D. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association of the SIRT1 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs10997866 and rs3818292 in a Han Chinese population with T1D. METHODS This study recruited 2653 unrelated Han Chinese individuals, of whom 1289 had T1D and 1364 were healthy controls. Allelic and genotypic distributions of SIRT1 polymorphisms (rs10997866 and rs3818292) were determined by MassARRAY. Basic characteristics, genotype and allele frequencies of selected SNPs were compared between the T1D patients and healthy controls. Further genotype-phenotype association analysis of the SNPs was performed on the T1D patients divided into three groups according to genotype. Statistical analyses included the chi-square test, Mann‒Whitney U test, Kruskal‒Wallis H test and logistic regression. RESULTS The allelic (G vs. A) and genotypic (GA vs. AA) distributions of SIRT1 rs10997866 were significantly different in T1D patients and healthy controls (P = 0.039, P = 0.027), and rs10997866 was associated with T1D susceptibility under dominant, overdominant and additive models (P = 0.026, P = 0.030 and P = 0.027, respectively). Moreover, genotype-phenotype association analysis showed the GG genotype of rs10997866 and the GG genotype of rs3818292 to be associated with higher titers of IA-2A (P = 0.013 and P = 0.038, respectively). CONCLUSION SIRT1 rs10997866 is significantly associated with T1D susceptibility, with the minor allele G conferring a higher risk of T1D. Moreover, SIRT1 gene rs10997866 and rs3818292 correlate with the titer of IA-2A in Han Chinese individuals with T1D.

Abstract
Controversial data have been reported on the prognostic value of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This prospective, single-center, observational study aimed to evaluate the role of CXCR4 in the pathophysiology of CLL and its prognostic role. A total of 158 patients of CLL were enrolled, and CXCR4 expression on CLL cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) at initial diagnosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the CXCR4 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) median. Also, four patient specimens from the CXCR4low and CXCR4high groups were selected for RNASeq analysis. The progression-free survival (PFS) of CLL patients in the CXCR4high group was significantly shorter than the CXCR4low group, with a median follow-up time of 27 months (log-rank P < 0.001). Moreover, CXCR4 overexpression (MFI > 3376) was an independent marker of poor PFS in CLL patients (P < 0.001). Analysis of RNASeq results revealed that CXCR4 plays an important role in the migration of CLL. Collectively, CXCR4 expression levels on leukemia cells can be detected rapidly by FCM. CXCR4 overexpression was significantly associated with poorer prognosis in CLL patients within a shorter follow-up time.

Abstract
Resveratrol (Res) possesses various beneficial effects, including cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties. However, the precise mechanism underlying these effects remains unclear. Here we investigated the protective effects of resveratrol on cardiomyocytes, focusing on the role of Zn2+ and mitophagy. Using the MTT/lactate dehydrogenase assay, we found that addition of a zinc chelator TPEN for 4 h induced mitophagy and resulted in a significant reduction in cell viability, increased cytotoxicity, and apoptosis in H9c2 cells. Notably, resveratrol effectively mitigated these detrimental effects caused by TPEN. Similarly, Res inhibited the TPEN-induced expression of mitophagy-associated proteins, namely P62, LC3, NIX, TOM20, PINK1, and Parkin. The inhibitory action of resveratrol on mitophagy was abrogated by the mitophagy inhibitor 3-MA. Additionally, we discovered that silencing of the Mfn2 gene could reverse the inhibitory effects of resveratrol on mitophagy via the AMPK-Mfn2 axis, thereby preventing the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Collectively, our data suggest that Res can safeguard mitochondria protection by impeding mitophagy and averting mPTP opening through the AMPK-Mfn2 axis in myocardial cells.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of split liver transplantation (SLT) in clinical application. Methods: This is a retrospective case-series study. The clinical data of 203 consecutive SLT, 79 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and 1 298 whole liver transplantation (WLT) performed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2014 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and three SLT liver grafts were obtained from 109 donors. One hundred and twenty-seven grafts were generated by in vitro splitting and 76 grafts were generated by in vivo splitting. There were 90 adult recipients and 113 pediatric recipients. According to time, SLT patients were divided into two groups: the early SLT group (40 cases, from July 2014 to December 2017) and the mature SLT technology group (163 cases, from January 2018 to July 2023). The survival of each group was analyzed and the main factors affecting the survival rate of SLT were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Results: The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 74.58%, 71.47%, and 71.47% in the early SLT group, and 88.03%, 87.23%, and 87.23% in the mature SLT group, respectively. Survival rates in the mature SLT group were significantly higher than those in the early SLT group (χ2=5.560,P=0.018). The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year were 93.41%, 93.41%, 89.95% in the LDLT group and 87.38%, 81.98%, 77.04% in the WLT group, respectively. There was no significant difference among the mature SLT group, the LDLT group and the WLT group (χ2=4.016, P=0.134). Abdominal hemorrhage, infection, primary liver graft nonfunction,and portal vein thrombosis were the main causes of early postoperative death. Conclusion: SLT can achieve results comparable to those of WLT and LDLT in mature technology liver transplant centers, but it needs to go through a certain time learning curve.

Abstract
Surgical treatment is one of the most important forms of treatment in patients with gallbladder cancer. With the development of minimally invasive technology, the feasibility, safety and efficacy of minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted radical cholecystectomy for gallbladder cancer have received continuous attention.For patients with an early T-stage (Tis or T1a), laparoscopic simple cholecystectomy is safe and economical, with a good prognosis for postoperative patients, and it has been widely accepted and performed. Radical resection of advanced gallbladder cancer requires resection of the gallbladder, its liver bed, and other neighboring invaded organs, as well as clearance of regional lymph nodes, which requires experienced gallbladder cancer treatment teams to strictly grasp the indications, select appropriate patients, and formulate a good surgical strategy to ensure the therapeutic effect. Meanwhile, robot-assisted radical resection for gallbladder cancer has been performed in a few centers and shows good clinical potential, but more high-quality studies are needed to further evaluate its value in gallbladder cancer treatment.

Abstract
AIMS The PCAR study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of preoperative transcatheter rectal arterial chemoembolisation (TRACE) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a single-centre, prospective, phase II trial conducted in China. Eligible patients were adults aged 18 years and older with histologically confirmed stage II or III rectal carcinoma and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1. Patients received TRACE with oxaliplatin, followed by radiotherapy with a cumulative dose of 45 Gy (1.8 Gy/time/day, five times a week for 5 weeks) and received oral S1 capsules twice daily (7 days a week for 4 weeks). Patients underwent total mesorectal excision 4-8 weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, followed by mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX regimens for 4-6 months. The hypothesis of this study was that adding TRACE to preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy would improve tumour regression and prognosis. The primary end point was the pathological complete response rate; secondary end points included the major pathological response rate, anal preservation rate, 5-year disease-free survival (DFS), 5-year overall survival and treatment-related adverse events. RESULTS In total, 111 LARC patients received TRACE and subsequent scheduled treatment plans. The pathological complete response and major pathological response rates were 20.72% and 48.65%, respectively. The 5-year DFS and 5-year overall survival were 61.89% (95% confidence interval 51.45-74.45) and 74.80% (95% confidence interval 65.05-86.01), respectively. Grade 3-4 toxicities were reported in 29 patients (26.13%). The postoperative complication rate was 21.62%, without serious surgical complications. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that ypN stage (hazard ratio = 4.242, 95% confidence interval 2.101-8.564, P = 0.00017) and perineural invasion (hazard ratio = 2.319, 95% confidence interval 1.058-5.084, P = 0.0487) were independent risk factors associated with DFS, whereas ypN stage (hazard ratio = 3.164, 95% confidence interval 1.347-7.432, P = 0.0101), perineural invasion (hazard ratio = 4.118, 95% confidence interval 1.664-10.188, P = 0.0134) and serum carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199; hazard ratio = 4.142, 95% confidence interval 1.290-13.306, P = 0.0344) were independent predictors for overall survival. CONCLUSION The current study provides evidence that adding TRACE to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can improve the pathological remission rate in LARC patients with acceptable toxicity. Given its promising effectiveness and safe profile, incorporating TRACE into the standard treatment strategy for patients with LARC should be considered.
