Abstract
In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of lymphoma have gradually increased worldwide. Tumorigenesis and drug resistance are closely related to intracellular inflammatory pathways in lymphoma. Therefore, understanding the biological role of inflammatory pathways and their abnormal activation in relation to the development of lymphoma and their selective modulation may open new avenues for targeted therapy of lymphoma. The biological functions of inflammatory pathways are extensive, and they are central hubs for regulating inflammatory responses, immune responses, and the tumour immune microenvironment. However, limited studies have investigated the role of inflammatory pathways in lymphoma development. This review summarizes the relationship between abnormal activation of common inflammatory pathways and lymphoma development to identify precise and efficient targeted therapeutic options for patients with advanced, drug-resistant lymphoma.

Abstract
Metal(loid) discharge has led to severe coastal contamination; however, there remains a significant knowledge gap regarding its impact on sediment profiles and depth-resolved bacterial communities. In this study, geochemical measurements (pH, nutrient elements, total and bioavailable metal(loid) content) consistently revealed decreasing nitrogen, phosphorus, and metal(loid) levels with sediment depth, accompanied by reduced alpha diversity. Principal coordinate analysis indicated distinct community compositions with varying sediment depths, suggesting a geochemical influence on diversity. Ecological niche width expanded with depth, favoring specialists over generalists, but both groups decreased in abundance. Taxonomic shifts emerged, particularly in phyla and families, correlated with sediment depth. Microbe-microbe interactions displayed intricate dynamics, with keystone taxa varying by sediment layer. Zinc and arsenic emerged as key factors impacting community diversity and composition using random forest, network analysis, and Mantel tests. Functional predictions revealed shifts in potential phenotypes related to mobile elements, biofilm formation, pathogenicity, N/P/S cycles, and metal(loid) resistance along sediment profiles. Neutral and null models demonstrated a transition from deterministic to stochastic processes with sediment layers. This study provides insights into the interplay between sediment geochemistry and bacterial communities across sediment depths, illuminating the factors shaping these ecosystems.

Abstract
The Postural Instability/Gait Difficulty (PIGD) subtype of Parkinson's disease (PD) has a faster disease progression, a higher risk of cognitive and motor decline, yet the alterations of structural topological organization remain unknown. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and 3D-TI scanning were conducted on 31 PD patients with PIGD (PD-PIGD), 30 PD patients without PIGD (PD-non-PIGD) and 35 Healthy Controls (HCs). Structural networks were constructed using DTI brain white matter fiber tractography. A graph theory approach was applied to characterize the topological properties of complex structural networks, and the relationships between significantly different network metrics and motor deficits were analyzed within the PD-PIGD group. PD-PIGD patients exhibited increased shortest path length compared with PD-non-PIGD and HCs (P < 0.05, respectively). Additionally, PD-PIGD patients exhibited decreased nodal properties, mainly in the cerebellar vermis, prefrontal cortex, paracentral lobule, and visual regions. Notably, the degree centrality of the cerebellar vermis was negatively correlated with the PIGD score (r = -0.390; P = 0.030) and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III score (r = -0.436; P = 0.014) in PD-PIGD patients. Furthermore, network-based statistical analysis revealed decreased structural connectivity between the prefrontal lobe, putamen, supplementary motor area, insula, and cingulate gyrus in PD-PIGD patients. Our findings demonstrated that PD-PIGD patients existed abnormal structural connectomes in the cerebellar vermis, frontal-parietal cortex and visual regions. These topological differences can provide a topological perspective for understanding the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of PIGD in PD.

Abstract
Photo-reduction of arsenic (As) by hydrated electron (eaq-) and recovery of elemental arsenic (As(0)) is a promising pathway to treat As-bearing wastewater. However, previously reported sulfite/UV system needs large amounts of sulfite as the source of eaq-. This work suggests a sulfite/iodide/UV approach that is more efficient and consumes much less chemical reagents to remove As(III) and As(V) and recover valuable As(0) from wastewater, hence preventing the production of large amounts of As-containing hazardous wastes. Our results showed that more than 99.9% of As in the aqueous phase was reduced to highly pure solid As(0) (>99.5 wt%) by sulfite/iodide/UV process under alkaline conditions. Sulfite and iodide worked synergistically to enhance reductive removal of As. Compared with sulfite/UV, the addition of iodide had a substantially greater effect on As(III) (over 200 times) and As(V) (approximately 30 times) removals because of its higher absorptivity and quantum yield of eaq-. Furthermore, more than 90% of the sulfite consumption was decreased by adding a small amount of iodide while maintaining similar reduction efficiency. Hydrated electron (eaq-) was mainly responsible for As(III) and As(V) reductions and removals under alkaline conditions, while both SO3•- and reactive iodine species (e.g., I•, I2, I2•-, and I3-) may oxidize As(0) to As(III) or As(V). Acidic circumstances caused sulfite protonation and the scavenging of eaq- by competing processes. Dissolved oxygen (O2) and CO32- prevented As reduction by light blocking or eaq- scavenging actions, but Cl-, Ca2+, and Mg2+ showed negligible impacts. This study presented an efficient method for removing and recovering As from wastewater.

Abstract
Understanding how abundant (AT) and rare (RT) taxa adapt to diverse environmental stresses is vital for assessing ecological processes, yet remains understudied. We collected sediment samples from Liaoning Province, China, representing rivers (upstream of wastewater outlet), estuaries (wastewater outlets), and Jinzhou Bay (downstream of wastewater outlets), to comprehensively evaluate AT and RT adaptation strategies to both natural stressors (salinity stress) and anthropogenic stressors (metal stress). Generally, RT displayed higher α- and β-diversities and taxonomic groups compared to AT. Metal and salinity stresses induced distinct α-diversity responses in AT and RT, while β-diversity remained consistent. Both subcommunities were dominated by Woeseia genus. Metal stress emerged as the primary driver of diversity and compositional discrepancies in AT and RT. Notably, AT responded more sensitively to salinity stress than RT. Stress increased topological parameters in the biotic network of AT subcommunities while decreasing values in RT subcommunities, concurrently loosening interactions of AT with other taxa and strengthening interactions of RT with others in biotic networks. RT generally exhibited greater diversity of metal resistance genes compared to AT. Greater numbers of genes related to salinity tolerance was observed for the RT than for AT. Compared to AT, RT demonstrated higher diversity of metal resistance genes and a greater abundance of genes associated with salinity tolerance. Additionally, deterministic processes governed AT community assembly, reinforced by salinity stress. However, the opposite trend was observed in the RT, where the importance of stochastic process gradually increased with metal stresses. The study is centered on exploring the adaptation strategies of both AT and RT to environmental stress. It underscores the importance of future research incorporating diverse ecosystems and a range of environmental stressors to draw broader and more reliable conclusions. This comprehensive approach is essential for gaining a thorough understanding of the adaptive mechanisms employed by these microorganisms.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) present a promising avenue for next-generation grid-scale energy storage. However, realizing all-climate SIBs operating across a wide temperature range remains a challenge due to the poor electrolyte conductivity and instable electrode interphases at extreme temperatures. Here, we propose a comprehensively balanced electrolyte by pairing carbonates with a low-freezing-point and low-polarity ethyl propionate solvent which enhances ion diffusion and Na+-desolvation kinetics at sub-zero temperatures. Furthermore, the electrolyte leverages a combinatorial borate- and nitrile-based additive strategy to facilitate uniform and inorganic-rich electrode interphases, ensuring excellent rate performance and cycle stability over a wide temperature range from -45 °C to 60 °C. Notably, the Na||sodium vanadyl phosphate cell delivers a remarkable capacity of 105 mA h g-1 with a high rate of 2 C at -25 °C. In addition, the cells exhibit excellent cycling stability over a wide temperature range, maintaining a high capacity retention of 84.7% over 3,000 cycles at 60 °C and of 95.1% at -25 °C over 500 cycles. This study highlights the critical role of electrolyte and interphase engineering for enabling SIBs that function optimally under diverse and extreme climatic environments.

Abstract
There has been considerable controversy about pre- versus postsynaptic expression of memory-related long-term potentiation (LTP), with corresponding disputes about underlying mechanisms. We report here an instance in male mice, in which both types of potentiation are expressed but in separate branches of the same hippocampal afferent. Induction of LTP in the dentate gyrus (DG) branch of the lateral perforant path (LPP) reduces paired-pulse facilitation, is blocked by antagonism of cannabinoid receptor type 1, and is not affected by suppression of postsynaptic actin polymerization. These observations are consistent with presynaptic expression. The opposite pattern of results was obtained in the LPP branch that innervates the distal dendrites of CA3: LTP did not reduce paired-pulse facilitation, was unaffected by the cannabinoid receptor blocker, and required postsynaptic actin filament assembly. Differences in the two LPP termination sites were also noted for frequency facilitation of synaptic responses, an effect that was reproduced in a two-step simulation by small adjustments to vesicle release dynamics. These results indicate that different types of glutamatergic neurons impose different forms of filtering and synaptic plasticity on their afferents. They also suggest that inputs are routed to, and encoded by, different sites within the hippocampus depending upon the pattern of activity arriving over the parent axon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apathy is a common neuropsychiatric manifestations in Parkinson's disease (PD), but neural network mechanisms still remain elusive. We aim to investigate the topological alteration of the brain structural network in PD with apathy. METHOD In the present study, a total of 47 apathetic PD (aPD) patients, 37 non-apathetic PD (naPD) patients, and 40 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in conjunction with graph-theoretic approaches were used to explore the alterations of topological properties of the WM structural network arising from apathy in PD. One-way analysis of covariance and post hoc analyses were performed to explore differences among the three groups. Correlations were ascertained to examine relationships between the Starkstein Apathy Scale (AS) scores and significantly different network metrics among the three groups. RESULTS Both aPD and naPD patients remained small-world topology. However, compared with the naPD patients, aPD patients showed increased clustering coefficient (Cp) at the global level. At the regional level, aPD exhibited decreased nodal properties, mainly in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), the right caudate nucleus (CAU), the right hippocampus, and the right superior parietal gyrus. Further, AS scores were negatively correlated with degree centrality of the right DLPFC (r = -0.254, p = 0.020) and the right CAU ( r = -0.357, p = 0.001) in the pooled patients with PD. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggested that apathy in PD presented relatively optimized global topological properties of the brain structural network and disrupted topological organization of the regional network, particularly involving the fronto-striatal-limbic circuits. The altered topological properties of abnormal brain regions might be used to understand the physiopathologic mechanism of the neural network in aPD patients.

Abstract
Molten salt aluminum-sulfur batteries are based exclusively on resourcefully sustainable materials, and are promising for large-scale energy storage owed to their high-rate capability and moderate energy density; but the operating temperature is still high, prohibiting their applications. Here we report a rapid-charging aluminium-sulfur battery operated at a sub-water-boiling temperature of 85 °C with a tamed quaternary molten salt electrolyte. The quaternary alkali chloroaluminate melt - possessing abundant electrochemically active high-order Al-Cl clusters and yet exhibiting a low melting point - facilitates fast Al3+ desolvation. A nitrogen-functionalized porous carbon further mediates the sulfur reaction, enabling the battery with rapid-charging capability and excellent cycling stability with 85.4% capacity retention over 1400 cycles at a charging rate of 1 C. Importantly, we demonstrate that the asymmetric sulfur reaction mechanism that involves formation of polysulfide intermediates, as revealed by operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy, accounts for the high reaction kinetics at such temperature wherein the thermal management can be greatly simplified by using water as the heating media.

Abstract
The persistent and photo-induced free radicals of biochar play significant roles in the transformation or degradation of inorganic and organic pollutants. However, the redox capacity of biochar for arsenite (As(III)) photochemistry under different pH conditions remains unclear. In this study, we discovered that solar radiation primarily expedited the oxidation of As(III) by biochar by augmenting the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Biochar demonstrated a strong pH reliance on the photooxidation of As(III). Under acidic and neutral conditions, solar radiation amplified the generation of •OH (hydroxyl radicals) by BC-P (phenolic -OH of biochar) and semiquinone-type BC-PFRs (persistent free radicals of biochar) by 4.9 and 2.0 times, respectively, resulting in enhanced As(III) oxidation. Under alkaline conditions, BC-P and BC-Q (quinoid CO of biochar) facilitated the production of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) by 2.1 times through the spontaneous formation of semiquinone-type BC-PFRs via an anti-disproportionation reaction, promoting approximately 88.2% of As(III) photooxidation. Furthermore, solar radiation elevated around 11.8% As(III) oxidation driven by BC-Q and semiquinone-type BC-PFRs. This study provides a crucial theoretical foundation for using biochar to treat arsenic pollution in aquatic systems and understanding the migration and transformation of arsenic in different environments.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical applicability of single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) for lumbar spondylolysis using meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Stata 12.0, was used to test the heterogeneity, and the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and other effect sizes were collected to generate the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve for comprehensive evaluation. Meta-regression analysis was used to explore the source of heterogeneity, and subgroup analysis was performed. Funnel plots, Fagan's line diagrams, and likelihood ratio dot plots were drawn to evaluate publication bias and clinical applicability. RESULTS Eight studies involving 785 patients were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, odds ratio, and area under the SROC curve of SPECT for the diagnosis of lumbar spondylolysis were 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.70 0.93), 0.92 (95% CI: 0.60 0.99), 11.01 (95% CI: 1.61 75.18), 0.17 (95% CI: 0.08 0.35), 0.92 (95% CI: 0.90 0.94). Meta-regression analysis showed that the sources of heterogeneity were region and age. Subgroup analysis showed that the specificity of the child and adolescent subgroup was significantly higher than that of the middle-aged and elderly subgroups. Deek's funnel plots showed no significant publication bias. The pooled effect of the likelihood ratio dot plot for diagnosis is in the upper-right quadrant. CONCLUSION As a diagnostic tool for spondylolysis, SPECT has a high degree of specificity, moderate sensitivity, and relatively high diagnostic effectiveness. It can be used as an auxiliary sign in the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar spondylolysis.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) hold great promise for next-generation grid-scale energy storage. However, the highly instable electrolyte/electrode interphases threaten the long-term cycling of high-energy SIBs. In particular, the instable cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) at high voltage causes persistent electrolyte decomposition, transition metal dissolution, and fast capacity fade. Here, this work proposes a balanced principle for the molecular design of SIB electrolytes that enables an ultra-thin, homogeneous, and robust CEI layer by coupling an intrinsically oxidation-stable succinonitrile solvent with moderately solvating carbonates. The proposed electrolyte not only shows limited anodic decomposition thus leading to a thin CEI, but also suppresses dissolution of CEI components at high voltage. Consequently, the tamed electrolyte/electrode interphases enable extremely stable cycling of Na3 V2 O2 (PO4 )2 F (NVOPF) cathodes with outstanding capacity retention (>90%) over 3000 cycles (8 months) at 1 C with a high charging voltage of 4.3 V. Further, the NVOPF||hard carbon full cell shows stable cycling over 500 cycles at 1 C with a high average Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.6%. The electrolyte also endows high-voltage operation of SIBs with great temperature adaptability from -25 to 60 °C, shedding light on the essence of fundamental electrolyte design for SIBs operating under harsh conditions.

Abstract
Understanding the nature of arsenic (As) adsorbed on FeIII oxyhydroxides, and the subsequent behavior of As during the crystallization process, is critical to predicting its fate in a range of natural and engineered settings. In this work, As adsorbed on FeIII oxyhydroxides formed in the different reaction media at different pH values were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) to determine how As is redistributed during the crystallization process. Results showed that at pH 12, a quarter of the added As was still left in the liquid phase with the formation of goethite and hematite as the major and minor product. The concentration of As was found to be the lowest at pH 4 which is independent of the reaction media, indicating the importance of pH value in the crystallization process of the As adsorbed FeIII oxyhydroxides. Under acidic conditions, sulfate and chloride media favored the formation of goethite and hematite, respectively. Arsenic can indeed be incorporated into the structure of the formed goethite at pH 4. The morphology of the formed products changed to rhombus-like particles if both goethite and hematite appeared as the later as the dominant product.

Abstract
AIM To audit UK radiology departmental protocols related to the prevention of Iodine-based contrast media (ICM) adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and to assess their compliance with the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) endorsed Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists' 2018 Iodinated Contrast Guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Questionnaires were sent to all UK acute National Health Service (NHS) providers treating adult patients with an audit lead registered with the RCR (162 providers encompassing 211 hospital radiology departments). The questionnaire included three main sections: renal function screening, renal protection regimens, and hypersensitivity reactions prevention and follow-up. Data collection was conducted between April and July 2022. RESULTS Sixty-one per cent (129/211) of departments responded, representing 67% of eligible providers. An independent imaging services provider supplied one additional set of data (n=130 overall). Of the responding departments, for post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI), 41% and 56% had the recommended risk assessment for inpatients and outpatients, respectively. Renal function testing was often over-utilised, and their results were applied improperly. Sixty-eight per cent of departments used the advised threshold for considering renal protection. For hypersensitivity reactions, 9% of departments had the correct risk assessment. Thirty-six per cent of departments had the correct risk mitigation protocol for identified high-risk patients. The documentation and follow-up for hypersensitivity reactions were similarly inadequate. CONCLUSION Local protocols on preventing ICM ADRs were largely non-compliant with RCR guidelines. Departments need to update their protocols in line with current evidence to avoid iatrogenic morbidity or unnecessary tests and over-precaution.

Abstract
The attenuation of acidic Se(IV)-rich wastewater, including those associated with acid mine drainage (AMD) and nonferrous metallurgical wastewater (NMW), presents a serious environmental challenge. This study investigates the effects of diverse factors from pH values to Se(IV)/Fe(III) molar ratios, initial Se(IV) concentrations, and alkali neutralization agents on the direct co-precipitation of ferric selenites in AMD and NMW systems involving different orders of Fe(III) and alkali addition. Our results show that amorphous sulfate-substituted ferric (hydrogen) selenite and Se(IV)-bearing ferrihydrite-schwertmannite are the major Se(IV)-attenuation solids except that gypsum is an additional phase in the NMW system with Ca(OH)2 neutralization. Produced ferric selenites achieve 98-99.8% of Se(IV) immobilization under optimal conditions of pH 4.5, Se(IV)/Fe(III) molar ratios of 0.0625-0.5, and initial Se(IV) concentrations of 0.15-1.3 mmol·L-1. Moreover, completing FeSO4+ and FeHSeO32+/FeSeO3+ complexes as well as different ferric selenite co-precipitates are shown to collectively control aqueous Se(IV) remaining. Specifically, three distinct trends of aqueous Se(IV) concentrations separately correspond to changes in the four factors. The co-precipitation in the NMW system via pH adjustment followed by Fe(III) addition is more efficient for Se(IV) fixation than that in the AMD system because of minimal complexation, concurrent Fe(III) hydrolysis, and enhanced ferric selenite co-precipitation in the former.

Abstract
Arsenate (AsV) is a predominant arsenic contaminant in aerobic water. Microalgae have been recently used in the phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated water. However, the amount of AsV uptake in microalgae is limited, which hinders the application of microalgae in arsenic-contaminated water treatment. Here, we found that the expression of a novel phosphate transporter DsPht1 in Dunaliella salina was highly upregulated after AsV exposure. Fluorescent protein-tagging analysis showed the plasma membrane location of DsPht1. Furthermore, DsPht1 was overexpressed in a model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The DsPht1 transgenetic lines accumulated up to 6.4-fold higher total arsenic than the untransformed line, and the AsV amount in total arsenic increased by 8.3-fold. Moreover, the organoarsenic content was also higher in the transgenetic lines. Overall, the DsPht1 transformants generated in this study increased arsenate uptake and transformation, which are promising for the effective phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated water.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Traditional methods of evaluating cardiotoxicity focus solely on radiation doses to the heart and do not incorporate functional imaging information. Functional imaging has great potential to improve the ability to provide early prediction for cardiotoxicity for lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. FDG-based PET/CT imaging is routinely obtained as part of standard staging work up for lung cancer patients. Although FDG PET/CT scans are typically used to evaluate the tumor, imaging guidelines note that FDG PET/CT scans are an FDA-approved method to image for cardiac inflammation, and studies have noted that the PET cardiac signal can be predictive of clinical outcomes. The purpose of this work was to develop a radiomics model to predict clinical cardiac assessment of standard of care FDG PET/CT scans. MATERIALS/METHODS The study included 100 consecutive lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy who underwent standard pre-treatment FDG-PET/CT staging scans. A clinician reviewed the PET/CT scans per clinical cardiac assessment guidelines and classified the cardiac uptake as: 0 = uniform diffuse, 1 = absent, 2 = heterogeneous, with event rates of 20%, 44%, and 35%, respectively. The heart was delineated and 200 novel functional radiomics features were selected to classify cardiac FDG uptake patterns. We divided the data into an 80% training set and a 20% test set to train and evaluate the classification models. Feature reduction was carried out using the Wilcoxon test (with Bonferroni adjusted p<0.05), hierarchical clustering, and Recursive Feature Elimination. Two automatic machine learning (AutoML) frameworks were used to determine classification models: a Random Forest Classifier (Tree-based Pipeline Optimization Tool, TPOT) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (AutoSklearn). 10-fold cross validation was carried out for training and the accuracy of the ability of the models to predict for clinical cardiac assessment is reported. RESULTS Fifty-one independent radiomics features were reduced to 3 clinically pertinent features (PET 2D Skewness, PET Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix Correlation, and PET Median) using feature reduction techniques. The model selected by TPOT showed 89.8% predictive accuracy in the cross validation of the training set and 85% predictive accuracy on the test set. The model selected by AutoSklearn showed 89.7% predictive accuracy in the cross validation of the training set and 80% predictive accuracy on the test set. CONCLUSION The novelty of this work is that it is the first study to develop and evaluate functional cardiac radiomic features from standard of care FDG PET/CT scans with the data showing good predictive accuracy with clinical imaging evaluation. If validated, the current work provides automated methods to provide functional cardiac information using standard of care imaging that can be used as an imaging biomarker for early clinical toxicity prediction for lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Soil acidification is common in some Chinese tea plantations, which seriously affected growth of tea trees. Hence, it is essential to explore soil remediation in acidified tea plantations for sustainable development of the tea industry. We sought to determine how different fertilizers affect acidified soil and their N transformation in tea plantations. Different fertilizers were used on acidified tea plantation soils for 4 years (2017-2021), and changes in soil pH, indices related to soil N transformation and tea yield were analysed to construct interaction networks of these indices and find which had the largest influence on fertilization. Long-term use of sheep manure reduced soil acidification, increased soil pH, enhanced the number and intensity of N-fixing and ammonifying bacteria, urease, protease, asparaginase and N-acetamide glucose ribosidase activity and nifH gene expression. This treatment reduced the number and intensity of soil nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase activity, while the expression of amoA-AOA, nirK, nirS, narG and nosZ in turn increased ammonium N content of the soil, reduced nitrate N content, and enhanced tea yield. Topsis index weight analysis showed that ammonium N content in the soil had the largest impact among fertilization effects. Long-term use of sheep manure was beneficial in restoring the balance of the micro-ecosystem in acidified soil. This study provides an important practical basis for soil remediation and fertilizer management in acidified tea plantation soils.

Abstract
Objective: To summary the clinical presentation and prognosis of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) in teenagers. Methods: The clinical data, renal pathological types and prognosis of 118 children over 10-year-old with PNS treated in the Department of Nephrology of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, with 408 children ≤10-year-old as control group synchronously. Chi-square test was used to compare the difference of clinical types, pathologic types, response to steroids and tubulointerstitial changes between the groups. The teenagers with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) were divided into initial non-responder group and late non-responder group. Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the difference of persistent proteinuria, and Fisher's exact test for the histological types. Results: There were 118 children >10-year-old, including 74 males and 44 females, with the onset age of 12.1 (10.8, 13.4) years; and 408 children ≤10-year-old with the onset age of 4.5 (3.2, 6.8) years. The proportion of SRNS was significantly higher in patients >10-year-old than those ≤10-year-old (24.6% (29/118) vs. 15.9% (65/408), χ2=4.66, P=0.031). There was no statistical difference in the pathological types between >10-year-old and ≤10-year-old (P>0.05), with minimal change disease the most common type (56.0% (14/25) vs. 60.5% (26/43)). The percentage of cases with renal tubulointerstitial lesions was significantly higher in children >10-year-old compared to those ≤10-year-old (60.0% (15/25) vs. 23.3% (10/43), χ2=9.18, P=0.002). There were 29 cases presented with SRNS in PNS over 10-year-old, including 19 initial non-responders and 10 late non-responders. Analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curve, it was shown that the percentage of persistent proteinuria after 6 months of immunosuppressive treatments was significantly higher in initial non-responders than those of the late non-responders ((22±10)% vs. 0, χ2=14.68, P<0.001); the percentage of minimal change disease was significantly higher in patients of late non-responders than those of the initial non-responders (5/6 vs. 3/13, P=0.041). Of the 63 >10-year-old with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome followed up more than one year, 38 cases (60.3%) had relapse, and 14 cases (22.2%) were frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome and steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome. Among the 45 patients followed up over 18-year-old, 22 cases (48.9%) had recurrent proteinuria continued to adulthood, 3 cases of SRNS progressed to kidney insufficiency, and one of them developed into end stage kidney disease and was administrated with hemodialysis. Conclusions: Cases over 10-year-old with PNS tend to present with SRNS and renal tubulointerstitial lesions. They have a favorable prognosis, but are liable to relapse in adulthood.

Abstract
Biochar in powder could lead to the separation difficulties after using and easy dispersion by wind with non-necessary consumption during the practical application. The current method for preparing molded biochar is multi-step, tedious, and required exogenous reagents. Moreover, the dehydration of sewage sludge with high water content (>85%) causes expensive production cost, limiting its secondary utilization. Therefore, an "all-in-one" strategy was developed to prepare molded biochar with magnetism by using sewage sludge as endogenetic binder, water source, carbon source, as well as magnetic source, and biomass wastes as water moderator and pore-forming agent. The molded biochar showed high removal capacity towards Cd(Ⅱ) of 456.2 mg/g, which was 6 times higher than the commercial activated carbon in powder (69.1 mg/g). The excellent removal performance of the molded biochar was in linear correlation the O/C ratio (R2 =0.855), resulting in the complexation with Cd(Ⅱ). DFT calculations indicated the amounts and species of oxygen changed the electron distribution and electron-donation properties of biochar for Cd(Ⅱ). Moreover, the Na+ exchanges with Cd(Ⅱ) were also an important removal mechanism. This study provided a novel synthesis strategy for the molded biochar with both high particle density and high adsorption capability.

Abstract
Conventional solid-to-solid conversion-type cathodes in batteries suffer from poor diffusion/reaction kinetics, large volume changes and aggressive structural degradation, particularly for rechargeable aluminium batteries (RABs). Here we report a class of high-capacity redox couples featuring a solution-to-solid conversion chemistry with well-manipulated solubility as cathodes-uniquely allowed by using molten salt electrolytes-that enable fast-charging and long-lived RABs. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate a highly reversible redox couple-the highly soluble InCl and the sparingly soluble InCl3-that exhibits a high capacity of about 327 mAh g-1 with negligible cell overpotential of only 35 mV at 1 C rate and 150 °C. The cells show almost no capacity fade over 500 cycles at a 20 C charging rate and can sustain 100 mAh g-1 at 50 C. The fast oxidation kinetics of the solution phase upon initiating the charge enables the cell with ultrafast charging capability, whereas the structure self-healing via re-forming the solution phase at the end of discharge endows the long-term cycling stability. This solution-to-solid mechanism will unlock more multivalent battery cathodes that are attractive in cost but plagued by poor reaction kinetics and short cycle life.

Abstract
The potential release capacity of arsenic (As) from sediment was evaluated under a high level of exogenous organic matter (EOM) with both bioreactive and chemically reactive organic matters (OMs). The OMs were characterized by FI, HIX, BIX, and SUVA254 fluorescence indices showing the biological activities were kept at a high level during the experimental period. At the genus level, Fe/Mn/As-reducing bacteria (Geobacter, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Clostridium) and bacteria (Paenibacillus, Acidovorax, Delftia, and Sphingomonas) that can participate in metabolic transformation using EOM were identified. The reducing condition occurs which promoted As, Fe, and Mn releases at very high concentrations of OM. However, As release increased during the first 15-20 days, followed by a decline contributed by secondary iron precipitation. The degree of As release may be limited by the reactivity of Fe (hydro)oxides. The EOM infiltration enhances As and Mn releases in aqueous conditions causing the risk of groundwater pollution, which could occur in specific sites such as landfills, petrochemical sites, and managed aquifer recharge projects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) commonly occur among military Service Members and Veterans and have heterogenous, but also overlapping symptom presentations, which often complicate the diagnoses of underlying impairments and development of effective treatment plans. Thus, we sought to examine whether the combination of whole brain gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) structural measures with neuropsychological performance can aid in the classification of military personnel with mTBI and PTSD. METHODS Active-Duty US Service Members ( n = 156; 87.8% male) with a history of mTBI, PTSD, combined mTBI+PTSD, or orthopedic injury completed a neuropsychological battery and T1- and diffusion-weighted structural neuroimaging. Cortical, subcortical, ventricular, and WM volumes and whole brain fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD), and axial diffusivity (AD) were calculated. Latent profile analyses were performed to determine how the GM and WM indicators, together with neuropsychological indicators, classified individuals. RESULTS For both GM and WM, respectively, a 4-profile model was the best fit. The GM model identified greater ventricular volumes in Service Members with cognitive symptoms, including those with a diagnosis of mTBI, either alone or with PTSD. The WM model identified reduced FA and elevated RD in those with psychological symptoms, including those with PTSD or mTBI and comorbid PTSD. However, contrary to expectation, a global neural signature unique to those with comorbid mTBI and PTSD was not identified. CONCLUSIONS The findings demonstrate that neuropsychological performance alone is more robust in differentiating Active-Duty Service Members with mTBI and PTSD, whereas global neuroimaging measures do not reliably differentiate between these groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To predict the potential suitable habitat of Haemaphysalis concinna in Heilongjiang Province under different climatic scenarios. METHODS The geographic locations of ticks in Heilongjiang Province from 1980 to 2022 were captured from literature review and field ticks monitoring data from Harbin Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Heilongjiang Province, and the tick distribution sites with spatial correlations were removed using the software ArcGIS 10.2. The environment data under historical climatic scenarios from 1970 to 2000 and the climatic shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) 126 scenario model from 2021 to 2040 and from 2041 to 2060 were downloaded from the WorldClim website, and the elevation (1 km, 2010), population (1 km grid population dataset of China, 2010) and annual vegetation index (1 km, 2010) data were downloaded from the Resource and Environmental Science and Data Center, Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The contribution of environmental factors to H. concinna distribution was evaluated and environmental variables were screened using the software MaxEnt 3.4.1 and R package 4.1.0, and the areas of suitable habitats of H. concinna and changes in center of gravity were analyzed using the maximum entropy model in Heilongjiang Province under different climatic scenarios. In addition, the accuracy of the maximum entropy model for prediction of H. concinna distribution was assessed using the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS A total of 79 H. concinna distribution sites and 24 environmental variables were collected, and 70 H. concinna distribution sites and 9 environmental factors that contributed to distribution of the potential suitable habitats of H. concinna in Heilongjiang Province were screened. The three most significant contributing factors included precipitation seasonality, annual precipitation, and mean temperature of the driest quarter, with cumulative contributions of 60.7%. The total area of suitable habitats of H. concinna was 29.05 × 104 km2 in Heilongjiang Province under historical climatic scenarios, with the center of gravity of suitable habitats located at (47.31° N, 129.16° E), while the total area of suitable habitats of H. concinna reduced by 0.97 × 104 km2 in Heilongjiang Province under the climatic SSP126 scenario from 2041 to 2060, with the center of gravity shifting to (47.70° N, 129.28° E). CONCLUSIONS The distribution of suitable habitats of H. concinna strongly correlates with temperature and humidity in Heilongjiang Province. The total area of potential suitable habitats of H. concinna may appear a tendency towards a decline with climatic changes in Heilongjiang Province, and high-, medium- and low-suitable habitats may shift.

Abstract
High geogenic Mn groundwater is widespread around the world and has also proved to be harmful to human health, especially to the IQ of Children. The natural release of Mn from aquifer sediments in slightly reducing condition is believed to be the primary cause. However, there isn't enough evidence to prove that anthropogenic activities promote the reductive release of Mn. Here a Historical Petrochemical Waste Storage Site (HPWSS) was studied to evaluate its impact on groundwater quality. Significantly elevated Mn, as well as elevated TDS, anionic surfactants, and organic pollutants, were found in the shallow aquifer (9-15 m) groundwater compared to the surrounding area. The Mn was believed to be generated in-situ, while others are caused by anthropogenic pollution. The good correlations between Mn and NH4+, HCO3-, I, As, Co, V, Ti, respectively, showed the Mn mobilization was mainly attributed to the reductive dissolution of Mn oxides/hydroxides. The potential processes leading to this enhanced Mn release are discussed, including 1) the infiltration of high salinity water which solubilized sediment organic matter (OM); 2) the anionic surfactants that promoted the dissolution and mobilization of surface-derived organic pollutants as well as sediment OM. Any of these processes may have provided a C source to stimulate the microbial reduction of Mn oxides/hydroxides. This study showed the input of pollutants could change the redox and dissolution conditions of the vadose zone and aquifer, causing a secondary geogenic pollution risk in groundwater. Since Mn is easily mobilized in suboxic condition as well as its toxicity, the enhanced release due to anthropogenic perturbation merits more attention.

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of ecological processes related to bacterial communities in these ecosystems is critical for improving the sustainability of estuarine-coastal ecosystem functions. However, the community composition, functional potential, and assembly mechanisms of bacterial community in metal(loid)-contaminated estuarine-coastal habitats remain poorly understood, especially along lotic systems extending from rivers to estuaries and to bays. Here, we collected sediment samples associated with sewage outlets from rivers (upstream/midstream of sewage outlet), estuaries (sewage outlets), and Jinzhou Bay (downstream of sewage outlets) within Liaoning Province, China in order to evaluate the relationships between microbiome and metal(loid) contamination. Sewage discharge markedly increased the concentrations of metal(loid)s in sediments, including of As, Fe, Co, Pb, Cd, and Zn. Significant discrepancies in alpha diversity and community composition were observed among the sampling sites. The above dynamics were primarily caused by salinity and metal(loid) concentrations (i.e., of As, Zn, Cd, and Pb). Furthermore, metal(loid) stress significantly increased abundances of metal(loid)-resistant genes, but decreased abundances of denitrification genes. Dechloromonas, Hydrogenophaga, Thiobacillus, and Leptothrix were denitrifying bacteria present within sediments of this estuarine-coastal ecosystem. Moreover, the stochastic processes dominated the community assembly in estuary offshore sites, while deterministic processes dominated river community assembly mechanisms. Salinity and total nitrogen concentration, rather than metal(loid) concentrations, governed the assembly processes in these sites. Overall, these elucidate mechanisms involved in constructing community diversities, functional potential, and assembly.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone mineral density (BMD) is an independent risk factor of osteoporosis-related fractures. We performed gene-based burden tests to assess the association between rare variants and BMD, and identified several BMD candidate genes. PURPOSE BMD is highly heritable and a major predictor of osteoporotic fractures, but its genetic basis remains unclear. We aimed to identify rare risk variants contributing to BMD. METHODS Utilizing the newly released UK Biobank 200,643 exome dataset, we conducted a gene-based exome-wide association study in males and females, respectively. First, 100,639 males and 117,338 females with BMD values were included in the polygenic risk scores (PRS) analysis. Among individuals with lower 30% PRS, cases were individuals with top 10% BMD, and individuals with bottom 10% BMD were the controls. Considering the effects of vitamin D (VD), individuals with the highest 30% VD concentration were selected for VD-BMD analysis. After quality control, 741 males and 697 females were included in the BMD analysis, and 717 males and 708 females were included in the VD-BMD analysis. The variants were annotated by ANNOVAR software, then BMD and VD-BMD qualified variants were imported into the SKAT R-package to perform gene-based burden tests, respectively. RESULTS The gene-based burden test of the exonic variants identified genome-wide candidate associations in ANKRD18A (P = 1.60 × 10-5, PBonferroni adjust = 2.11 × 10-3), C22orf31 (P = 3.49 × 10-4, PBonferroni adjust = 3.17 × 10-2), and SPATC1L (P = 1.09 × 10-5, PBonferroni adjust = 8.80 × 10-3). For VD-BMD analysis, three genes were associated with BMD, such as NIPAL1 (P = 1.06 × 10-3, PBonferroni adjust = 3.91 × 10-2). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that rare variants contribute to BMD, providing new sights for broadening the genetic structure of BMD.

Abstract
Dexmedetomidine might reduce delirium after cardiac surgery. We allocated 326 participants to an infusion of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 0.6 μg kg-1 for 10 min and then at 0.4 μg.kg-1 .h-1 until the end of surgery; 326 control participants received comparable volumes of saline. We detected delirium in 98/652 (15%) participants during the first seven postoperative days: 47/326 after dexmedetomidine vs. 51/326 after placebo, p = 0.62, adjusted relative risk (95%CI) 0.86 (0.56-1.33), p = 0.51. Postoperative renal impairment (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stages 1, 2 and 3) was detected in 46, 9 and 2 participants after dexmedetomidine and 25, 7 and 4 control participants, p = 0.040. Intra-operative dexmedetomidine infusion did not reduce the incidence of delirium after cardiac valve surgery but might impair renal function.

Abstract
An advanced cost-saving method of removal of high-As(III) from SO4(-II)-rich metallurgical wastewater has been developed by diluting the SO4(-II) content with As(III)-Cl(-I)-rich metallurgical wastewater and then by the direct precipitation of As(III) with Fe(III) at pH 2.3. As(III) removal at various SO4(-II)/Cl(-I) molar ratios and temperatures was investigated. The results showed that 65.2‒98.2% of As(III) immobilization into solids occurred at the SO4(-II)/Cl(-I) molar ratios of 1:1‒32 and 15‒60 °C in 3 days, which were far higher than those in aqueous sole SO4(-II) or Cl(-I) media at the equimolar SO4(-II) or Cl(-I) and the same temperature. SO4(-II)/Cl(-I) molar ratio of 1:4 and 25 °C were optimal conditions to reach the As removal maximum. Mixed aqueous SO4(-II) and Cl(-I) played a synergetic role in the main tooeleite formation together with (Cl(-I)-free) ferric arsenite hydroxychloride (FAHC) involving the substitution of AsO33- for Cl(-I) for enhanced As fixation. The competitive complexation among FeH2AsO32+, FeSO4+ and FeCl2+ complexes was the main mechanism for the maximum As(III) precipitation at the SO4(-II)/Cl(-I) molar ratio of 1:4. Low As(III) immobilization at high temperature with increased Fe(III) hydrolysis was due to the formation of As(III)-bearing ferrihydrite with the relatively high Fe/As molar ratio at acidic pH.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer (BRCA) is the most common malignant tumor in the world. Because of its substantial heterogeneity, its clinical treatment is faced with various problems. Only a small number of patients can benefit from the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). Costimulatory molecule signature (CMS) plays an essential role in T cell activation and antitumor immune response. Previous studies found that CMS is associated with prognosis-related immune response markers, suggesting that CMS may be a potential therapeutic target. However, the research on their function in BRCA subtype is still inadequate. Our study aims to analyze CMS in BRCA and establish an effective prognostic model. Methods We extracted 1,222 messenger RNA (mRNA) samples of 1,110 patients registered in the BRCA cohort of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), including 1,109 tumor tissue mRNA samples and 113 standard tissue samples for model construction and verification. The prognostic significance was determined by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-Cox proportional hazard regression, which showed that the overall survival (OS) of the high-risk group was shorter than that of the low group (P<0.01). Results Although the CMS prognostic model can predict the prognosis well, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) prediction results were unsatisfactory. The reason for this may be the heteromorphism of BRCA, so we divided the cases into four subtypes according to the PAM50 (PAM50Call_RNAseq) in clinical information. The same method was used to construct the model in the four subtypes and verify the effect of each subtype prognostic model. Conclusions The results showed that the submodels constructed in this study can be used to evaluate the prognosis of each subtype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous antibiotic exposure is an important risk factor for invasive fungal infection (IFI). Antibiotic overexposure is common in lower-income countries; however, multi-centre studies concerning IFI in relation to antibiotic exposure are scarce. AIM This prospective, multi-centre matched case-control study explored the correlation of IFI and antibiotic exposure in very preterm infants or very-low-birthweight infants admitted to 23 tertiary hospitals in China between 2018 and 2021. METHODS Using a 1:2 matched design for gestational age, birth weight and early-onset sepsis (yes/no), the risk factors between infants diagnosed with IFI and infection-free controls were compared. The antibiotic use rate (AUR) was calculated using calendar days of antibiotic therapy in the 4 weeks preceding IFI onset divided by onset day of IFI. FINDINGS In total, 6368 infants were included in the study, of which 90 (1.4%) were diagnosed with IFI. Median AUR, length of antibiotic therapy (LOT) and days of antibiotic therapy (DOT) within the 4 weeks preceding IFI onset were 0.90, 18 days and 30 days, respectively. Multi-variate analysis showed that a 10% increase in AUR, each additional day of DOT and LOT, and each additional day of third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems were notably associated with IFI. CONCLUSION Prolonged antibiotic therapy is common before the onset of IFI, and is an important risk factor, especially the use of third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems. Antibiotic stewardship should be urgently developed and promoted for preterm infants in order to reduce IFI in lower-income countries such as China.

Abstract
The addition of an arsenite-chloride solution into an arsenite-sulfate solution is extremely beneficial for the removal of As(III) via Fe(III) salt precipitation at pH 2.3. However, the applicability of this method to complicated high-As(III) metallurgical wastewaters still requires further verification. This work investigated the effects of nitrate and Fe/As molar ratio on As(III) immobilization using Fe(III) in three acid radical media including sulfate, chloride, and nitrate at pH 2.3. Our results indicated that 72.1‒93.5% of As(III) was precipitated, which was 5‒10% less than those obtained in the nitrate-free systems. The Fe/As molar ratio of 4 was the optimal condition with an average of 93% As(III) removal based on a broad sulfate/chloride molar ratio range (1:1‒16). However, a maximum of 96% As(III) removal was observed under the Fe/As molar ratio of 1.5 and the sulfate/chloride condition of 1:16. The negative correlation between complexation and precipitation was attributed to the enhanced initial complexation by the synergistic effect of the mononitratoiron complex and FeH2AsO32+. The variation of Fe/As molar ratios resulted in the diverse solid species, thus further affecting the As(III) removal efficiency. Despite producing tooeleite as a major As(III) host phase, ferrihydrite and poorly crystalline ferric arsenite hydroxysulfate formed simultaneously at the Fe/As molar ratio of 4 participated in As(III) immobilization compared with the solid products at Fe/As molar ratios ≤ 2.

Abstract
The factors and mechanisms affecting the fate of the associated Cd during the Fe(II)-activated Cd-bearing ferrihydrite transformation remain poorly understood. Herein we have conducted a series of batch reactions containing ferrihydrite with diverse pH values and initial Fe(II) and Cd concentrations coupled with chemical analyses and spectroscopic examination on the transformation products to probe the mechanisms of the Cd partitioning and the processes of Fe(II)-activated Cd-bearing ferrihydrite transformation under anaerobic conditions. Chemical analyses, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) results show that the initial Fe(II) and Cd concentrations as well as pH values all have significant effects on the rates and pathways of ferrihydrite transformation. Increasing Cd loading enhances the inhibition of the Fe(II)-activated ferrihydrite transformation rates. High Cd loading alters the Fe(II)-activated ferrihydrite transformation pathways by hindering the recrystallization of both ferrihydrite to more stable iron minerals and the newly formed lepidocrocite to goethite. Chemical analyses show that the release of Cd to solutions during ferrihydrite transformation is accompanied by a reduction in the 0.4 M HCl extractable Cd fraction and that a significant amount of the released Cd is transformed to a 0.4 M HCl unextractable form. Moreover, enhanced Cd release during the Fe(II)-activated ferrihydrite transformation is observed by reducing the pH value or increasing the initial Cd concentration. Results from synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirm that the majority of the 0.4 M HCl unextractable Cd form is associated with structural incorporation into the recrystallized iron (hydr)oxides via isomorphous substitution for Fe(III). These findings not only provide molecular-level understanding on the behavior of Cd under natural anoxic environments, but also are useful in predicting the geochemical cycling of Cd and developing long-term Cd contaminant management strategies.

Abstract
Edible seaweeds with a relatively high total arsenic concentration have been a global concern. As the largest seaweed producer, China contributes about 60 % of the global seaweed production. The present study investigated 20 seaweed species collected from representative seaweed farming sites in the six provinces along the Chinese coastline, of which Saccharina japonica, Undaria pinnatifida, Neopyropia spp., Gracilaria spp., Sargassum fusiforme were listed as the most consumed seaweeds in Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The inorganic arsenic (iAs) concentration in most of the seaweeds was below maximum limits (0.3 mg iAs/kg) as seaweed additives for infant food in the National Food Safety Standard of Pollutants in China (GB2762-2017, 2017), except for the species Sargassum, in which the iAs concentration significantly exceeded the limit and ranged from 15.1 to 83.7 mg/kg. Arsenic speciation in 4 cultivated seaweeds grown in both temperate and subtropical zones is reported for the first time. No significant differences in total As and iAs concentration were identified, except slightly higher total As concentration were found in Saccharina japonica growing in the temperate zone. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of toxic iAs via seaweed consumption was generally below the EFSA CONTAM Panel benchmark dose lower confidence limit (0.3 μg/kg bw/day) except for all Sargassum species where the EDI was significantly higher than 0.3 μg/kg bw/day. Moreover, the first-ever reported data on As speciation indicated very high iAs concentrations in Sargassum hemiphyllum and Sargassum henslowianum. To minimize the food chain iAs exposure, reducing both human intake of Sargassum spp. and the used of Sargassum spp. for animal feed is highly recommended. CAPSULE: This study showed that edible seaweed Sargassum spp. consumption may pose a health risk related to inorganic arsenic (iAs) exposure. The risk of iAs exposure via seaweed consumption or livestock is a concern that needs to be monitored. The arsenic accumulation and speciation may be predominantly species-dependent rather than environmental-dependent.

Abstract
Rare earth elements (REEs) are increasingly used in various industries worldwide, resulting in their release into aquatic ecosystems. We evaluated the distribution and bioaccumulation of 14 REEs in marine sediments and biotas along the Chinese coasts. The total concentration of REEs (ΣREEs) in sediments was 41.65-170.94 mg/kg. The concentrations of ΣREEs were 1.97-4.77 and 0.62-4.96 mg/kg dry mass (DM) for oysters and mussels. The concentration of total light REEs (ΣLREEs) was higher than the concentration of total heavy REEs (ΣHREEs) at all samples. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of ΣLREEs was higher than ΣHREEs and BAF of ΣREE was 0.34-1.49 and 0.25-1.10 for oysters and mussels. The positive correlation between sediments and biotas was higher in mussels than oysters, showing a good potential for being environmental indicators for REEs. The risk of REEs to humans via oysters and mussels consumption could be negligible based on the estimated daily intake.

Abstract
The species and fate of arsenic (As) are closely related to sulfide (S-II) in the anaerobic and sulfidic environment. In this work, the mechanisms and kinetics of arsenate (AsV) reduction by S-II at different pHs, S-II/AsV molar ratios, and initial AsV concentrations in the absence (or presence) of Al-hydroxide were studied, where the concentrations of various kinds of As species, namely AsV, arsenite (AsIII), and thioarsenics (ThioAs) were qualitatively and quantitatively determined by liquid chromatography with atomic fluorescence spectrophotometry. The results showed that under acidic or neutral conditions, ThioAs may act as intermediate(s), where amorphous As2S3 precipitate was observed at pH 5 in high S-II condition. By comparison, at pH 9, AsV was probably directly reduced to AsIII with polysulfide as the byproduct. The reaction rate was faster at mildly acidic pH than that of neutral or alkaline pH, as well as in the presence of Al-hydroxide. The findings may give further insights about the role of ThioAs in the biogeochemical cycle of As.

Abstract
Ubiquitous co-existence of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in smelting operations and mine drainage presents a major challenge to the environment. Fe(II)-induced ferrihydrite transformation into secondary, more crystalline minerals often controls the geochemical behavior of associated contaminants including arsenate (As(V)) and Cd(II) in natural and contaminated environments. However, the fate of co-existent As(V) and Cd(II) and the underlying mechanism during this transformation process remain unclear. In this contribution, ferrihydrite containing co-precipitated Cd(II) and As(V) with Fe(II) under diverse pH conditions has been investigated. Results from powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectra show that the co-existence of As(V) and Cd(II) significantly retards the transformation rates of As(V)/Cd(II)-bearing ferrihydrite to more stable iron oxides and reduces that from the newly formed lepidocrocite to goethite. Compared to Cd(II), the co-existent As(V) has stronger influence on the compositions of the transformation products. Chemical analysis shows that phosphate-unextractable As(V) and 0.4 M HCl unextractable Cd(II) both increase as the reaction proceeds during the recrystallization of As(V)/Cd(II)-bearing ferrihydrite, indicating that both As(V) and Cd(II) partially transform to a more stable phase. The co-existent Cd(II) has negligible effects on the As(V) redistribution, but the co-existent As(V) at high loadings has a significant modification in the distribution of Cd(II) during the transformation, which reduces the liberation of Cd(II) into solution, thus decreasing the mobility of Cd(II). These findings have important implications for understanding the mobility and fate of the co-existent As(V) and Cd(II) under natural anoxic environments, remediating the co-existent contaminants, and predicting the long-term behavior of As(V) and Cd(II) in natural and contaminated environments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of vasohibin-2 (VASH2) in regulation of proliferation and metastasis of cervical cancer cells. METHODS We analyzed the differentially expressed genes between cervical cancer cells with flotillin-1 overexpression and knockdown by RNA-seq combined with analysis of public databases. The expression levels of VASH2 were examined in normal cervical epithelial cells (HcerEpic), cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa, C-33A, Ca ski, SiHa and MS751) and fresh cervical cancer tissues with different lymph node metastasis status. We further tested the effects of lentivirus-mediated overexpression and interference of VASH2 on proliferation, migration, invasion and lymphatic vessel formation of the cervical cancer cells and detected the expression levels of key epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and TGF-β mRNA. RESULTS RNA-seq and analysis of public databases showed that VASH2 expression was significantly upregulated in cervical cancer cells exogenously overexpressing flotillin-1 (P < 0.05) and downregulated in cells with flotillin-1 knockdown (P < 0.05), and was significantly higher in cervical cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis than in those without lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01). In cervical cancer cell lines Ca Ski, SiHa, and MS751 and cervical cancer tissue specimens with lymph node metastasis, VASH2 expression was also significantly upregulated as compared with HcerEpic cells and cervical cancer tissues without lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Exogenous overexpression of VASH2 significantly promoted proliferation, migration, invasion and lymphatic vessel formation of cervical cancer cells, whereas these abilities were significantly inhibited in cells with VASH2 knockdown (P < 0.05). The cervical cancer cells overexpressing VASH2 showed significant down- regulation of e-cadherin and up- regulation of N-cadherin, Vimentin and VEGF-C, while the reverse changes were detected in cells with VASH2 knockdown (P < 0.05). TGF-β mRNA expression was significantly up-regulated in cervical cancer cells overexpressing VASH2 and down-regulated in cells with VASH2 knockdown (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Flotillin-1 may participate in TGF-β signaling pathway-mediated EMT through its down-stream target gene VASH2 to promote the proliferation, migration, invasion and lymphatic vessel formation of cervical cancer cells in vitro.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is suggested to be implicated in the development of cardiometabolic diseases. We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess potential causality for associations of RA with the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), coronary artery disease (CAD), and ischaemic stroke. METHOD Seventy independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with RA were identified as instrumental variables from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 58 284 European subjects. Summary-level data for the associations of the 70 genetic variants with T2D, CAD, and ischaemic stroke were taken from three GWASs with a total of 1 529 131 participants. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) MR was used in the main analyses. RESULTS The main IVW MR analysis showed that genetically determined RA was associated with higher risks of T2D [odds ratio (OR): 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.05; p < 0.001] and CAD (OR: 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.03; p = 0.012), but not ischaemic stroke (OR: 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.02; p = 0.961). Sensitivity analyses with multiple MR methods confirmed these associations. MR-Egger regression showed no evidence of pleiotropy in the association between genetically determined RA and the risk of T2D, CAD, and ischaemic stroke. Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis showed that the association between genetically determined RA and the risk of T2D, CAD, and ischaemic stroke was not driven by any individual SNP. CONCLUSION Genetically determined RA was associated with increased risks of T2D and CAD, suggesting that RA plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of T2D and CAD.

Abstract
The effect of high concentration of iron (FeIII) on the speciation and mobility of arsenic (As) under strongly acidic conditions remains unclear. This work studied the redistribution and speciation of AsV and FeIII at Fe/As molar ratio of 1-14 and pH 1.5-2.0 in the dissolved, colloidal, and solid phases. Results showed that the elevated FeIII induced the decomposition of the precipitated poorly crystalline ferric arsenate by forming dissolved (< 3 kDa) and colloidal (3 kDa-0.1 µm) As-Fe complexes. The fraction of particulate As (> 0.1 µm) decreased from 70-90% to less than 20% when the Fe/As molar ratio increased from 1 to 14. The particle size of the bulk samples decreased significantly with the increase of FeIII concentration. The FTIR results suggested that AsV in dissolved/colloidal As-Fe complexes dominantly occurred as HAsO42- species. The EXAFS results indicated that each HAsO42- coordinated with approximately two Fe atoms in dissolved/colloidal As-Fe complexes at Fe/As ≥ 2. The findings suggest that high aqueous FeIII concentration can promote the mobility of As by forming dissolved/colloidal Fe-As complexes in acidic waters, potentially accelerating As transport from source to downstream in acid mine drainage systems.

Abstract
Stabilizing the hazardous calcium arsenic residues (CAR) and monitoring the subsequent fate of arsenic (As) are critical to reduce its risk to the environment. In this work, a novel in situ method has been proposed to stabilize CAR by adding FeIII solution and subsequent formation of the secondary mineral (yukonite). The experiments were conducted at pH 6-9 with different Fe/As molar ratios (0.28-0.66) and the solid phases were characterized by using X-ray diffraction and scanning/transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that the stability of the CAR was significantly increased after the addition of FeIII solution, indicating good fixation effectiveness. The dissolved As concentration in the treated CAR samples continuously decreased to <5 mg/L after 490 days of treatment at Fe/As molar ratio ≥ 0.54 and pH ≥ 8, with the leached As concentration lower than 5 mg/L (US EPA standard) for most of the treated CAR in the TCLP and HVM tests. The formation of yukonite under different experimental conditions is closely related to the enhanced stability of the treated CAR. This work provides a novel in situ method to treat CAR which might have potential for future industrial applications.

Abstract
The Qilianyu cluster of the Xisha (Paracel) Islands has one of the few remaining green turtle Chelonia mydas rookeries in the China region. Genetic samples were obtained from dead green turtle embryos and hatchlings salvaged from post-hatched nests at Middle Island (n = 3), North Island (n = 9) and South Sand (n = 1) of the Qilianyu cluster in 2017-2019. The ~800 bp mitochondrial DNA control region was sequenced from the samples, and 5 haplotypes were identified belonging to 2 documented clades (clades III and VIII), including 2 new haplotypes (CmP243.1 and CmP244.1) and 3 previously reported haplotypes (CmP18.1, CmP19.1, CmP20.1). These results were combined with previously published mtDNA data for the Qilianyu cluster and nearby (~93 km) Yongle Islands indicating a lack of differentiation based on truncated 384 bp control region sequences (exact test, p = 0.0997; FST = 0.015, p = 0.2760), to represent a single Xisha Islands rookery. The rookery at the Xisha Islands was significantly differentiated (p < 0.01) from all 19 management units (MUs) documented in the Indo-Pacific and Japan regions, supporting recognition of the Xisha Islands rookery as a new independent MU. The results will help inform national and international conservation action plans by China and the countries around the South China Sea to protect green turtles in the West Pacific Ocean.

Abstract
Adsorption of molybdate (Mo(VI)) on the surfaces of ferrihydrite is one of the most critical processes that control its mobility and fate in the environment. However, the sorption mechanism and the effect of pH on the speciation of Mo(VI) on ferrihydrite surfaces are not well understood. In this study, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Mo K-edge and L3-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) have been utilized to characterize the Mo(VI) species sorbed on ferrihydrite under various pH conditions. XRD, Raman, and FTIR results show that at acidic pH, surface precipitation of poorly crystalline ferric molybdate (PCFM) occurs under apparently undersaturated conditions (theoretical log IAP < log Ksp) and is enhanced by the aging process, whereas Mo(VI) is mainly present as surface adsorbed species at circum-neutral pH. The Mo K-edge and L3-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analyses show that a mixture of tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated Mo(VI) simultaneously exists at pH 3-7 and the octahedral Mo(VI) species decreases with increasing pH. The Mo-Fe interatomic distances (3.52-3.56 Å) derived from EXAFS fittings suggest the corner-sharing complexation of both MoO4 and MoO6 with FeO6 octahedra. As the pH decreases from 7 to 3, the coordination number of the Mo-Fe shell (CNMo-Fe) increases from 0.6(3) to 1.9(3), possibly due to the gradual transformation of surface adsorbed Mo(VI) to PCFM. These findings on the observation of Mo(VI) complexation, surface precipitation, and their marked pH dependence during the Mo(VI) adsorption on ferrihydrite have important implications for both understanding the mobility and fate of Mo(VI) in natural and hydrometallurgical industry impacted environments and developing optimal applications for the remediation of Mo contamination in aqueous environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methazolamide (MTZ) has been occasionally linked to the lethal Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which are associated with HLA-B*59:01. However, some MTZ-induced SJS/TEN (MTZ-SJS/TEN) cases are negative for HLA-B*59:01, implying that other genetic factors besides HLA-B*59:01 are contributing to MTZ-SJS/TEN. OBJECTIVES To comprehensively identify HLA and non-HLA genetic susceptibility to MTZ-SJS/TEN in Han Chinese. METHODS Eighteen patients with MTZ-SJS/TEN, 806 subjects of the population control and 74 MTZ-tolerant individuals were enrolled in this study. Both exome-wide and HLA-based association studies were conducted. Molecular docking analysis was employed to simulate the interactions between MTZ and risk HLA proteins. RESULTS We found a strong signal in the major histocompatibility complex region on chromosome 6 with 22 SNPs reaching exome-wide significance. Compared with MTZ-tolerant controls, a significant association of HLA-B*59:01 with MTZ-SJS/TEN was validated (odds ratio [OR] = 146.00, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 16.12-1321.98; P = 6.19 × 10-10 ). Moreover, 66.7% of MTZ-SJS/TEN patients negative for HLA-B*59:01 were carriers of HLA-B*55:02, while 2.7% of the tolerant individuals were observed with HLA-B*55:02 (OR = 71.00, 95% CI: 7.84-643.10; P = 1.43 × 10-4 ). Within HLA-B protein, the E45-L116 motif could completely explain the association of HLA-B*59:01 and HLA-B*55:02 with MTZ-SJS/TEN (OR = 119.33, 95% CI: 29.19-1227.96; P = 4.36 × 10-13 ). Molecular docking analysis indicated that MTZ binds more stably to the pocket of HLA-B*59:01 and HLA-B*55:02 than to that of non-risk alleles of HLA-B*40:01 and HLA-C*01:02. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed the association of HLA-B*59:01 with MTZ-SJS/TEN and identified HLA-B*55:02 as a novel risk allele in Han Chinese with the largest sample size to date. Notably, the rs41562914(A)-rs12697944(A) haplotype, encoding E45-L116, is capable of serving as a powerful genetic predictor for MTZ-SJS/TEN with a sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 96%.

Abstract
Dissipation is vital to any cyclic process in realistic systems. Recent research focus on nonequilibrium processes in stochastic systems has revealed a fundamental trade-off, called dissipation-time uncertainty relation, that entropy production rate associated with dissipation bounds the evolution pace of physical processes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 120604 (2020)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.125.120604]. Following the dissipative two-level model exemplified in the same Letter, we experimentally verify this fundamental trade-off in a single trapped ultracold ^{40}Ca^{+} ion using elaborately designed dissipative channels, along with a postprocessing method developed in the data analysis, to build the effective nonequilibrium stochastic evolutions for the energy transfer between two heat baths mediated by a qubit. Since the dissipation-time uncertainty relation imposes a constraint on the quantum speed regarding entropy flux, our observation provides the first experimental evidence confirming such a speed restriction from thermodynamics on quantum operations due to dissipation, which helps us further understand the role of thermodynamical characteristics played in quantum information processing.

Abstract
The lunar nearside has been investigated by many uncrewed and crewed missions, but the farside of the Moon remains poorly known. Lunar farside exploration is challenging because maneuvering rovers with efficient locomotion in harsh extraterrestrial environment is necessary to explore geological characteristics of scientific interest. Chang'E-4 mission successfully targeted the Moon's farside and deployed a teleoperated rover (Yutu-2) to explore inside the Von Kármán crater, conveying rich information regarding regolith, craters, and rocks. Here, we report mobile exploration on the lunar farside with Yutu-2 over the initial 2 years. During its journey, Yutu-2 has experienced varying degrees of mild slip and skid, indicating that the terrain is relatively flat at large scales but scattered with local gentle slopes. Cloddy soil sticking on its wheels implies a greater cohesion of the lunar soil than encountered at other lunar landing sites. Further identification results indicate that the regolith resembles dry sand and sandy loam on Earth in bearing properties, demonstrating greater bearing strength than that identified during the Apollo missions. In sharp contrast to the sparsity of rocks along the traverse route, small fresh craters with unilateral moldable ejecta are abundant, and some of them contain high-reflectance materials at the bottom, suggestive of secondary impact events. These findings hint at notable differences in the surface geology between the lunar farside and nearside. Experience gained with Yutu-2 improves the understanding of the farside of the Moon, which, in return, may lead to locomotion with improved efficiency and larger range.
