Abstract
The link between inflammation and cancer is well documented and colonic inflammation caused by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is thought to be a high-risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). The complex crosstalk between epithelial and inflammatory cells is thought to underlie the progression from inflammation to cancer. The present review collates and summarises recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBD-associated CRC (IBD-CRC), including the oncogenic mechanisms of the main inflammatory signalling pathways and genetic alterations induced by oxidative stress during colonic inflammation, and discusses the crosstalk between the tumour microenvironment, intestinal flora and host immune factors during inflammatory oncogenesis in colitis-associated CRC. In addition, the therapeutic implications of anti-inflammatory therapy for IBD-CRC were discussed, intending to provide new insight into improve clinical practice.

Abstract
To explore the optimal treatment for young patients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), we compared the efficacy and safety of R-CHOP/R-DHAP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone/rituximab, dexamethasone, cytarabine and cisplatin) and R-BAP (rituximab, bendamustine, cytarabine, and prednisone) plus BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) inhibitors in newly diagnosed patients. Eighty-three young patients (≤ 65 years old) with newly diagnosed MCL admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2014, to June 1, 2023, using R-CHOP/R-DHAP or R-BAP plus BTK inhibitor were assessed in this study. The median age at presentation was 60 (42-65) years in 83 patients, including 64 males and 19 females; 59 were treated with R-CHOP/R-DHAP regimen chemotherapy, and 24 were treated with R-BAP in combination with the BTK inhibitor regimen. The median follow-up was 17 months (2-86 months) in 83 patients, and the median PFS (progression-free survival) time was not reached. The CRR (complete response rate) of the R-BAP group was higher than that of the R-CHOP/R-DHAP group (87.5% vs. 54.2%, P = 0.005). The ORR (overall response rate) was not significantly different between the two groups (ORR: 91.7% vs. 84.7%, P = 0.497). The PFS (progression-free survival) of the R-BAP group was longer than that of the R-CHOP/R-DHAP group (P = 0.013), whereas OS was not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.499). The most common adverse effect in both groups was hematotoxicity, with a higher incidence of grade 3-4 lymphopenia and grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia in the R-BAP group than in the R-CHOP/R-DHAP group (P = 0.015 and P = 0.039). Male sex (HR = 4.257, P = 0.013), LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) ≥ 245 U/L (HR = 3.221, P = 0.012), pleomorphic-blastoid (HR = 2.802, P = 0.043) and R-CHOP/R-DHAP regimen (HR = 7.704, P = 0.047) were independent risk factors for PFS. Ki67 ≥ 30% (HR = 8.539, P = 0.005) was an independent risk factor for OS. First-line treatment with R-BAP in combination with BTK inhibitor improved CRR and prolonged PFS in young patients with mantle cell lymphoma and adverse events were tolerable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying the state-related "neural correlates of consciousness" for anesthetics-induced unconsciousness is challenging. Spatiotemporal complexity is a promising tool for investigating consciousness. The authors hypothesized that spatiotemporal complexity may serve as a state-related but not drug-related electroencephalography (EEG) indicator during an unconscious state induced by different anesthetic drugs (e.g., propofol and esketamine). METHODS The authors recorded EEG from patients with unconsciousness induced by propofol (n = 10) and esketamine (n = 10). Both conventional microstate parameters and microstate complexity were analyzed. Spatiotemporal complexity was constructed by microstate sequences and complexity measures. Two different EEG microstate complexities were proposed to quantify the randomness (type I) and complexity (type II) of the EEG microstate series during the time course of the general anesthesia. RESULTS The coverage and occurrence of microstate E (prefrontal pattern) and the duration of microstate B (right frontal pattern) could distinguish the states of preinduction wakefulness, unconsciousness, and recovery under both anesthetics. Type I EEG microstate complexity based on mean information gain significantly increased from awake to unconsciousness state (propofol: from mean ± SD, 1.562 ± 0.059 to 1.672 ± 0.023, P < 0.001; esketamine: 1.599 ± 0.051 to 1.687 ± 0.013, P < 0.001), and significantly decreased from unconsciousness to recovery state (propofol: 1.672 ± 0.023 to 1.537 ± 0.058, P < 0.001; esketamine: 1.687 ± 0.013 to 1.608 ± 0.028, P < 0.001) under both anesthetics. In contrast, type II EEG microstate fluctuation complexity significantly decreased in the unconscious state under both drugs (propofol: from 2.291 ± 0.771 to 0.782 ± 0.163, P < 0.001; esketamine: from 1.645 ± 0.417 to 0.647 ± 0.252, P < 0.001), and then increased in the recovery state (propofol: 0.782 ± 0.163 to 2.446 ± 0.723, P < 0.001; esketamine: 0.647 ± 0.252 to 1.459 ± 0.264, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both type I and type II EEG microstate complexities are drug independent. Thus, the EEG microstate complexity measures that the authors proposed are promising tools for building state-related neural correlates of consciousness to quantify anesthetic-induced unconsciousness.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the early to mid-term clinical outcomes of aortic valve repair in patients with bicuspid aortic insufficiency. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 124 patients with BAV insufficiency who underwent aortic valve repair from January 2017 to June 2023 in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at Fuwai Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. There were 117 males and 7 females with an age of (38.1±12.7) years (range: 14 to 65 years). Depending on whether the aortic sinus was replaced or not, surgical approaches were divided into valve sparing root replacement (reimplantation, remodeling, modified remodeling) and isolated aortic valve repair (annuloplasty, isolated aortic valve leaflet repair). Perioperative and follow-up data were collected. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the curves of survival rate, free recurrence rate of massive aortic valve insufficiency and free re-operation rate, and Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. Results: Among the surgeries, there were 47 cases of reimplantation, 8 cases of remodeling, 8 cases of modified remodeling, 48 cases of aortic annuloplasty (external annuloplasty in 22 cases, CV-0 annuloplasty in 26 cases), and 13 cases of isolated leaflet repair. Leaflet plication was the most used leaflet repair technique, used in 103 patients. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was (133.7±56.9) minutes (range: 48 to 461 minutes), and aortic cross-clamp time was (103.8±47.8) minutes (range: 25 to 306 minutes), with no surgical mortality. All patients underwent outpatient or telephone follow-up. The cumulative follow-up time was 340.3 person-years and the mean follow-up time was (M (IQR)) 34.0 (25.5) months (range: 3 to 76 months). The 5-year survival rate was 98.4%, the 5-year freedom from significant insufficiency rate was 93.4% and the 5-year freedom from aortic valve reoperation rate was 95.6%. The subgroup analysis revealed a significantly better freedom from the significant insufficiency rate in the aortic valve annular reduction group compared to the non-reduction group (P<0.01). Conclusions: Aortic valve repair in patients with bicuspid aortic insufficiency could obtain steady early to mid-term outcomes. Aortic annuloplasty can reduce the risk of recurrent aortic valve insufficiency in patients undergoing aortic repair.

Abstract
Background The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) is commonly used to assess oxidative stress and provides a comprehensive evaluation of dietary and lifestyle-related exposures. However, there is limited research on the association between OBS and colorectal cancer (CRC), its subsites, and complications. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between OBS and the risk of CRC, its subsites, and common complications in a large prospective cohort study. Methods We included data from 175,808 participants in the UK Biobank data sample repository from 2006 to 2010. We evaluated OBS using a scoring system based on 22 dietary and lifestyle factors. Multiple adjustments, including multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression, gender stratification, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis, were performed to fully explore the relationship between OBS and CRC, its subsites, and complications. The mediation analysis was conducted to investigate whether serum albumin, uric acid, and neutrophil levels mediate the relationship between OBS and CRC. Results After adjusting for potential confounding factors, a significant negative correlation was found between OBS and the risk of CRC and its subsites (proximal colon cancer, distal colon cancer, and rectal cancer). This correlation was particularly pronounced in male CRC patients. Serum albumin, uric acid, and neutrophil count, which are biomarkers, were found to have a significant mediating effect between OBS and CRC. Conclusion Our study suggests that higher exposure to antioxidants assessed through OBS (diet and lifestyle rich in antioxidants) may decrease the occurrence of CRC and its subsites.

Abstract
We proposed a deep learning approach to classify various error types in daily VMAT treatment of head and neck cancer patients based on EPID dosimetry, which could provide additional information to support clinical decisions for adaptive planning. 146 arcs from 42 head and neck patients were analyzed. Anatomical changes and setup errors were simulated in 17,820 EPID images of 99 arcs obtained from 30 patients using in-house software for model training, validation, and testing. Subsequently, 141 clinical EPID images from 47 arcs belonging to the remaining 12 patients were utilized for clinical testing. The hierarchical convolutional neural network (HCNN) model was trained to classify error types and magnitudes using EPID dose difference maps. Gamma analysis with 3%/2 mm (dose difference/distance to agreement) criteria was also performed. The F1 score, a combination of precision and recall, was utilized to evaluate the performance of the HCNN model and gamma analysis. The adaptive fractioned doses were calculated to verify the HCNN classification results. For error type identification, the overall F1 score of the HCNN model was 0.99 and 0.91 for primary type and subtype identification, respectively. For error magnitude identification, the overall F1 score in the simulation dataset was 0.96 and 0.70 for the HCNN model and gamma analysis, respectively; while the overall F1 score in the clinical dataset was 0.79 and 0.20 for the HCNN model and gamma analysis, respectively. The HCNN model-based EPID dosimetry can identify changes in patient transmission doses and distinguish the treatment error category, which could potentially provide information for head and neck cancer treatment adaption.

Abstract
Recently, certain ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) exhibit non-volatile modulations on photoresponse as well as tunneling electroresistance (TER) effects related to ferroelectric polarization states. From the opposite perspective, the corresponding polarization states can be read by detecting the levels of the photocurrent. In this study, we fabricate a novel amorphous selenium (a-Se)/PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PZT)/Nb-doped SrTiO3 (NSTO) heterojunction, which exhibits a high TER of 3 × 106. Unlike perovskite oxide FTJs with a limited ultraviolet response, the introduction of a narrow bandgap semiconductor (a-Se) enables self-powered photoresponse within the visible light range. The self-powered photoresponse characteristics can be significantly modulated by ferroelectric polarization. The photocurrent after writing polarization voltages of +4 and -5 V exhibits a 1200% increase. Furthermore, the photocurrent could be clearly distinguished after writing stepwise polarization voltages, and then a multistate information storage is designed with nondestructive readout capacity under light illumination. This work holds great significance in advancing the development of ferroelectric multistate photoelectronic memories with high storage density and expanding the design possibilities for FTJs.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Many herbal medicines and their bioactive compounds have shown anti-tumor properties. This study was conducted to examine the effect of psilostachyin C (PSC), a sesquiterpenoid lactone isolated from Artemisia vulgaris L., in the malignant properties of HCC cells. CCK-8, flow cytometry, wound healing, and Transwell assays revealed that 25 μM PSC treatment significantly suppressed proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, and invasion of two HCC cell lines (Hep 3B and Huh7) while promoting cell apoptosis. Bioinformatics prediction suggests CREB binding protein (CREBBP) as a promising target of PSC. CREBBP activated transcription of GATA zinc finger domain containing 2B (GATAD2B) by binding to its promoter. CREBBP and GATAD2B were highly expressed in clinical HCC tissues and the acquired HCC cell lines, but their expression was reduced by PSC. Either upregulation of CREBBP or GATAD2B restored the malignant properties of HCC cells blocked by PSC. Collectively, this evidence demonstrates that PSC pocessess anti-tumor functions in HCC cells by blocking CREBBP-mediated transcription of GATAD2B.

Abstract
Mammalian switch/sucrose nonfermentable (mSWI/SNF) ATPase degraders have been shown to be effective in enhancer-driven cancers by functioning to impede oncogenic transcription factor chromatin accessibility. Here, we developed AU-24118, an orally bioavailable proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrader of mSWI/SNF ATPases (SMARCA2 and SMARCA4) and PBRM1. AU-24118 demonstrated tumor regression in a model of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) which was further enhanced with combination enzalutamide treatment, a standard of care androgen receptor (AR) antagonist used in CRPC patients. Importantly, AU-24118 exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic profiles in preclinical analyses in mice and rats, and further toxicity testing in mice showed a favorable safety profile. As acquired resistance is common with targeted cancer therapeutics, experiments were designed to explore potential mechanisms of resistance that may arise with long-term mSWI/SNF ATPase PROTAC treatment. Prostate cancer cell lines exposed to long-term treatment with high doses of a mSWI/SNF ATPase degrader developed SMARCA4 bromodomain mutations and ABCB1 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1) overexpression as acquired mechanisms of resistance. Intriguingly, while SMARCA4 mutations provided specific resistance to mSWI/SNF degraders, ABCB1 overexpression provided broader resistance to other potent PROTAC degraders targeting bromodomain-containing protein 4 and AR. The ABCB1 inhibitor, zosuquidar, reversed resistance to all three PROTAC degraders tested. Combined, these findings position mSWI/SNF degraders for clinical translation for patients with enhancer-driven cancers and define strategies to overcome resistance mechanisms that may arise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irregular menstruation is a major health problem among women, although its association with nightshift work remains controversial. AIMS To study the association between nightshift work and irregular menstrual cycle among female workers and investigate any differences according to sleep quality, working hours or obesity. METHODS This study included female workers who underwent health examinations from 2012 to 2019. Nightshift work, working hours, sleep quality and menstrual cycles were assessed using self-administered questionnaires. Irregular menstrual cycle was defined as self-reported irregular or ≥36 days. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by multivariable logistic regression; adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) for incident irregular menstrual cycle were calculated by Cox proportional hazard models with time-dependent analysis. RESULTS The study participants were 87 147 in the cross-sectional study and 41 516 in the longitudinal study. After adjusting for all covariates in the cross-sectional analyses, the odds ratio for prevalent irregular menstrual cycle among female nightshift workers versus the reference was 1.26 (95% CI 1.2-1.33). In the cohort study, the adjusted hazard ratio for incident irregular menstrual cycle among nightshift workers was 1.95 (95% CI 1.61-2.35) in the period after 6 years. No significant differences were observed among subgroups stratified by sleep quality, working hours or obesity. CONCLUSIONS Nightshift work is associated with an increased risk of both prevalent and incident irregular menstrual cycle in female workers without significant interactions by sleep quality, working hours or obesity.

Abstract
UBE2F, a neddylation E2, neddylates CUL5 to activate cullin-RING ligase-5, upon coupling with neddylation E3 RBX2/SAG. Whether and how UBE2F controls pancreatic tumorigenesis is previously unknown. Here, we showed that UBE2F is essential for the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells with KRAS mutation. In the mouse KrasG12D pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) model, Ube2f deletion suppresses cerulein-induced pancreatitis, and progression of acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Mechanistically, Ube2f deletion inactivates the Mapk-c-Myc signals via blocking ubiquitylation of Diras2, a substrate of CRL5Asb11 E3 ligase. Biologically, DIRAS2 suppresses growth and survival of human pancreatic cancer cells harboring mutant KRAS, and Diras2 deletion largely rescues the phenotypes induced by Ube2f deletion. Collectively, Ube2f or Diras2 plays a tumor-promoting or tumor-suppressive role in the mouse KrasG12D PDAC model, respectively. The UBE2F-CRL5ASB11 axis could serve as a valid target for pancreatic cancer, whereas the levels of UBE2F or DIRAS2 may serve as prognostic biomarkers for PDAC patients.

Abstract
The incidence of brain metastasis (BM) from colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing. This study aims to identify the clinical prognosticators and evaluate the prognostic validity of common comorbidity indices in patients with BM from CRC. This retrospective single-center study analyzed 93 patients with BM from CRC who received surgical excision and/or radiotherapy. The clinical characteristics and prognostic indices including the 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were calculated from the collected patient data and analyzed. In this study, 66 (71.0%), 10 (10.8%), and 17 (18.3%) patients received whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) alone, surgery alone, and surgery plus WBRT, respectively. The median survival of all patients was 3.98 months (IQR: 1.74-7.99). The 2- and 3-year survival rates were 7.4% and 3.7%, respectively. Controlled primary tumor (p = 0.048), solitary BM (p = 0.001), surgery + radiation (p < 0.001), and greater PNI (p = 0.001) were independent predictors of favorable survival. In surgically treated patients, uncontrolled primary tumor (p = 0.006), presence of multiple BM (p < 0.001), and MFI-5 ≥ 2 (p = 0.038) were independent prognosticators. For patients who received WBRT, the presence of two (p = 0.004) or multiple (p < 0.001) BM and PNI (p < 0.001) were independent survival predictors MFI-5, multiple BM, and the status of the primary tumor were independent prognosticators for patients who underwent surgery for CRCBM. For patients who received WBRT, the PNI and the number of BM were independent survival predictors.

Abstract
The curdlan gel is a natural material produced by bacteria. It utilizes chemical cross-linking reactions to form a 3D porous composite hydrogel, increasing its porosity and water content, and improving its mechanical properties. It can be used in tissue repair and regenerative medicine. Curdlan-Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite hydrogel can rapidly swell within 1 min due to its porous structure. Compression tests confirmed that it still maintains its original mechanical strength, even after five repeated freeze-thaw (FT) processes, making it suitable for long-term cryopreservation. The purpose of this study is to transplant umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) on Curdlan-PVA composite hydrogel and observe the chondrocytes on the material. The results of using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), calcein-acetoxymethyl ester (calcein AM), and Collagen type II-Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) staining, confirmed that UC-MSCs can attach and differentiate into chondrocytes on 3D Curdlan-PVA composite hydrogel.

Abstract
Biallelic loss of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) defines a unique molecular subtype of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It remains unclear, however, whether CDK12 loss per se is sufficient to drive prostate cancer development-either alone, or in the context of other genetic alterations-and whether CDK12-mutant tumors exhibit sensitivity to specific pharmacotherapies. Here, we demonstrate that tissue-specific Cdk12 ablation is sufficient to induce preneoplastic lesions and robust T cell infiltration in the mouse prostate. Allograft-based CRISPR screening demonstrated that Cdk12 loss is positively associated with Trp53 inactivation but negatively associated with Pten inactivation-akin to what is observed in human mCRPC. Consistent with this, ablation of Cdk12 in prostate organoids with concurrent Trp53 loss promotes their proliferation and ability to form tumors in mice, while Cdk12 knockout in the Pten-null prostate cancer mouse model abrogates tumor growth. Bigenic Cdk12 and Trp53 loss allografts represent a new syngeneic model for the study of androgen receptor (AR)-positive, luminal prostate cancer. Notably, Cdk12/Trp53 loss prostate tumors are sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade. Cdk12-null organoids (either with or without Trp53 co-ablation) and patient-derived xenografts from tumors with CDK12 inactivation are highly sensitive to inhibition or degradation of its paralog kinase, CDK13. Together, these data identify CDK12 as a bona fide tumor suppressor gene with impact on tumor progression and lends support to paralog-based synthetic lethality as a promising strategy for treating CDK12-mutant mCRPC.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. The identification of novel biomarkers associated with mortality in patients with metabolic syndrome could facilitate early risk stratification and targeted interventions. Methods We conducted a large prospective cohort study using data from five cycles (2009-2016) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, including a total of 40,439 participants. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between serum klotho protein levels and metabolic syndrome, while Cox regression analysis was employed to examine the correlation between serum klotho levels and all-cause mortality. Mortality data were updated until December 31, 2019. Results After adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic confounders, the logistic regression model demonstrated that higher serum klotho levels were significantly associated with a decreased prevalence of metabolic syndrome (OR [95% CI] Highest vs. lowest quartile: 0.84 [0.70-0.99], P=0.038). In the Cox regression model, elevated klotho levels were found to significantly reduce the risk of all-cause mortality among individuals with metabolic syndrome (HR [95% CI] Highest vs. lowest quartile: 0.68 [0.51-0.90], P=0.006). Conclusion Serum klotho levels were found to be inversely associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, independent of potential confounding factors such as demographics, socioeconomic status, and lifestyle factors. Furthermore, higher klotho levels strongly indicated a lower risk of all-cause mortality in individuals with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Mammalian switch/sucrose non-fermentable (mSWI/SNF) ATPase degraders have been shown to be effective in enhancer-driven cancers by functioning to impede oncogenic transcription factor chromatin accessibility. Here, we developed AU-24118, a first-in-class, orally bioavailable proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrader of mSWI/SNF ATPases (SMARCA2 and SMARCA4) and PBRM1. AU-24118 demonstrated tumor regression in a model of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) which was further enhanced with combination enzalutamide treatment, a standard of care androgen receptor (AR) antagonist used in CRPC patients. Importantly, AU-24118 exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic profiles in preclinical analyses in mice and rats, and further toxicity testing in mice showed a favorable safety profile. As acquired resistance is common with targeted cancer therapeutics, experiments were designed to explore potential mechanisms of resistance that may arise with long-term mSWI/SNF ATPase PROTAC treatment. Prostate cancer cell lines exposed to long-term treatment with high doses of a mSWI/SNF ATPase degrader developed SMARCA4 bromodomain mutations and ABCB1 overexpression as acquired mechanisms of resistance. Intriguingly, while SMARCA4 mutations provided specific resistance to mSWI/SNF degraders, ABCB1 overexpression provided broader resistance to other potent PROTAC degraders targeting bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) and AR. The ABCB1 inhibitor, zosuquidar, reversed resistance to all three PROTAC degraders tested. Combined, these findings position mSWI/SNF degraders for clinical translation for patients with enhancer-driven cancers and define strategies to overcome resistance mechanisms that may arise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While the Bragg peak proton beam (BP) is capable of superior target conformity and organs-at-risk sparing than the transmission proton beam (TB), its efficacy in FLASH-RT is hindered by both a slow energy switching process and the beam current. A universal range shifter (URS) can pull back the high-energy proton beam while preserving the beam current. Meanwhile, a superconducting gantry with large momentum acceptance (LMA-SC gantry) enables fast energy switching. PURPOSE This study explores the feasibility of multiple-energy BP FLASH-RT on the LMA-SC gantry. METHOD AND MATERIALS A simultaneous dose and spot map optimization algorithm was developed for BP FLASH-RT treatment planning to improve the dose delivery efficiency. The URS was designed to be 0-27 cm thick, with 1 cm per step. BP plans using the URS were optimized using single-field optimization (SFO) and multiple-field optimization (MFO) for ten prostate cancer patients and ten lung cancer patients. The plan delivery parameters, dose, and dose rate metrics of BP plans were compared to those of TB plans using the parameters of the LMA-SC gantry. RESULTS Compared to TB plans, BP plans significantly reduced MUs by 42.7% (P < 0.001) with SFO and 33.3% (P < 0.001) with MFO for prostate cases. For lung cases, the reduction in MUs was 56.8% (P < 0.001) with SFO and 36.4% (P < 0.001) with MFO. BP plans also outperformed TB plans by reducing mean normal tissue doses. BP-SFO plans achieved a reduction of 56.7% (P < 0.001) for prostate cases and 57.7% (P < 0.001) for lung cases, while BP-MFO plans achieved a reduction of 54.2% (P < 0.001) for the prostate case and 40.0% (P < 0.001) for lung cases. For both TB and BP plans, normal tissues in prostate and lung cases received 100.0% FLASH dose rate coverage (>40 Gy/s). CONCLUSIONS By utilizing the URS and the LMA-SC gantry, it is possible to perform multiple-energy BP FLASH-RT, resulting in better normal tissue sparing, as compared to TB plans.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES Postoperative ileus (POI) can negatively impact patient recovery and surgical outcomes after spine surgery. Emerging studies have focused on the risk factors for POI after spine surgery. This study aimed to review the available literature on risk factors associated with POI following elective spine surgery. METHODS Electronic databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effect model. Risk factors for POI were summarized using pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Twelve studies were included in the present review. Meta-analysis demonstrated males exhibited a higher risk of POI than females odds ratio (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.54-2.01). Patients with anemia had a higher risk of POI than those without anemia (OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.04-2.11). Patients with liver disease (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.2-9.08) had a higher risk of POI. The presence of perioperative fluid and electrolyte imbalances was a predictor of POI (OR, 3.24; 95% CI, 2.62-4.02). Spine surgery involving more than 3 levels had a higher risk of POI compared to that with 1-2 levels (OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.03-3.23). CONCLUSIONS Male sex and the presence of anemia and liver disease were significant patient factors associated with POI. Perioperative fluid and electrolyte imbalance and multilevel spine surgery significantly increased the risk of POI. In addition, through this comprehensive review, we identified several perioperative risk factors associated with the development of POI after spine surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a growing interest in performing coronary artery and neurovascular interventions via the radial artery; however, few studies have examined the outcomes of transradial carotid stenting. Therefore, our study aimed to compare cerebrovascular outcomes and crossover rates in carotid stenting between transradial and traditional transfemoral approaches. METHODS A systematic review was performed by searching three electronic databases from inception to June 2022 in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. In addition, random effect meta-analysis was used to pool the odds ratios (ORs) for stroke, transient ischemic attack, major adverse cardiac events, death, major vascular access site complications, and procedure crossover rates between the transradial and transfemoral approaches. RESULTS A total of 6 studies were included involving a total of n = 567 transradial and n = 6176 transfemoral procedures. The ORs for stroke, transient ischemic attack, and major adverse cardiac events were 1.43 (95% confidence interval, CI 0.72-2.86, I2 = 0), 0.51 (95% CI 0.17-1.54, I2 = 0), and 1.08 (95% CI 0.62-1.86, I2 = 0), respectively. Neither the major vascular access site complication rate (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.32-3.87, I2 = 0) nor crossover rate (OR 3.94, 95% CI 0.62-25.11, I2 = 57%) showed statistically significant differences between the two approaches. CONCLUSION The modest quality of the data suggested comparable procedural outcomes between the transradial and transfemoral approaches when performing carotid stenting; however, high level evidence regarding postoperative brain images and risk of stroke in transradial carotid stenting are lacking. Therefore, it is reasonable for interventionists to weigh up the risks of neurological events and potential benefits, including fewer access site complications, before choosing the radial or femoral arteries as access sites. Future large-scale randomized controlled trials are imperative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Information integration and network science are important theories for quantifying consciousness. However, whether these theories propose drug- or conscious state-related changes in EEG during anaesthesia-induced unresponsiveness remains unknown. METHODS A total of 72 participants were randomised to receive i.v. infusion of propofol, dexmedetomidine, or ketamine at a constant infusion rate until loss of responsiveness. High-density EEG was recorded during the consciousness transition from the eye-closed baseline to the unresponsiveness state and then to the recovery of the responsiveness state. Permutation cross mutual information (PCMI) and PCMI-based brain networks in broadband (0.1-45 Hz) and sub-band frequencies were used to analyse drug- and state-related EEG signature changes. RESULTS PCMI and brain networks exhibited state-related changes in certain brain regions and frequency bands. The within-area PCMI of the frontal, parietal, and occipital regions, and the between-area PCMI of the parietal-occipital region (median [inter-quartile ranges]), baseline vs unresponsive were as follows: 0.54 (0.46-0.58) vs 0.46 (0.40-0.50), 0.58 (0.52-0.60) vs 0.48 (0.44-0.53), 0.54 (0.49-0.59) vs 0.47 (0.42-0.52) decreased during anaesthesia for three drugs (P<0.05). Alpha PCMI in the frontal region, and gamma PCMI in the posterior area significantly decreased in the unresponsive state (P<0.05). The frontal, parietal, and occipital nodal clustering coefficients and parietal nodal efficiency decreased in the unresponsive state (P<0.05). The increased normalised path length in delta, theta, and gamma bands indicated impaired global integration (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The three anaesthetics caused changes in information integration patterns and network functions. Thus, it is possible to build a quantifying framework for anaesthesia-induced conscious state changes on the EEG scale using PCMI and network science.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) has gained much attention in recent years. However, unintended embolization may occur when employing liquid embolic agents or particles. We present our clinical experience in simple coiling of MMAE to manage CSDH. METHODS Patients underwent either surgical evacuation or MMAE with simple coiling for CSDH were reviewed. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed at admission, 1-month, and 6-month intervals. Two treatment groups were matched with inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS One hundred twelve patients were included, with 27 patients in MMAE group and 87 patients in surgery group. In MMAE group, significant reductions were observed in hematoma width (admission vs. 1-month, 2.04 [1.44-2.60] cm vs. 0.62 [0.37-0.95] cm, p < 0.001). The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of surgical rescue rate (0.77 95%CI 0.13-4.47, p = 0.77), hematoma reduction (>50%) (0.21 95%CI 0.04-1.07, p = 0.06), and midline shift improvement rate (3.22, 95%CI 0.84-12.4, p = 0.09) had no substantial disparities between two groups at 1-month follow-up. In addition, no significant difference was noted between two groups in terms of hematoma reduction (>50%) at 6-month follow-up (aOR 1.09 95%CI 0.32-3.70, p = 0.89). No procedure-related complications were found in MMA embolization group. CONCLUSION Simple coiling for MMA had comparable outcomes with surgical evacuation for CSDH. Our findings suggest that simple coiling can be an alternative choice for liquid agents or particles in MMA embolization for CSDH with acceptable safety.

Abstract
Background and aims Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mainly categorized into Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic relapsing gastrointestinal disorder that significantly impairs patients' quality of life. IBD patients often experience comorbidities such as anxiety and depression, and the underlying mechanisms and treatment strategies remain areas of investigation. Methods We conducted a Mendelian randomization(MR) analysis utilizing brain image derived phenotypes (IDP) from the UK Biobank database to investigate the causal relationships between IBD and alterations in brain structural morphology and connectivity of neural tracts. This study aimed to identify biological evidence linking IBD to psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. Results Specifically, the volume of grey matter in the Left Frontal Orbital Cortex exhibited a negative association with the onset of Crohn's disease (odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 0.315[0.180~0.551], adjusted P=0.001), while the volume of the superior frontal cortex in the right hemisphere showed a positive correlation with the development of Ulcerative colitis (OR [95% CI]: 2.285[1.793~2.911], adjusted P<0.001), and the volume of lateral occipital cortex in the left hemisphere demonstrated a positive relationship with Crohn's disease onset (OR [95% CI]: 1.709[1.671~1.747], adjusted P<0.001). In the context of reverse causality, the onset of UC or CD has led to alterations in imaging derived phenotypes associated with five disorders (anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, pain) and three functions (memory, emotion, language). Conclusion Our study has demonstrated a causal relationship between IBD and IDPs. IDPs may serve as potential biomarkers for the progression of IBD and as predictive intermediaries for the development of neurological diseases in IBD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and effective therapies are limited. Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide with limited effective therapy. Sorafenib is a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor frequently used to treat numerous types of malignant tumors. However, it has been demonstrated that sorafenib showed moderate antitumor activity and is associated with several side effects in lung cancer, which restricted its clinical application. This study aimed to examine the antitumor effect of the combination treatment of sorafenib and 5-methoxytryptophan (5-MTP) on cell growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells. METHOD The anticancer effect of the combination treatment of sorafenib and 5-MTP was determined through cytotoxicity assay and colony forming assays. The mechanism was elucidated using flow cytometry and western blotting. Wound healing and Transwell assays were conducted to evaluate the impact of the combination treatment on migration and invasion abilities. An in vivo model was employed to analyze the effect of the combination treatment on the tumorigenic ability of LLC cells. RESULT Our results demonstrated that the sorafenib and 5-MTP combination synergistically reduced viability and proliferation compared to sorafenib or 5-MTP treatment alone. Reduction of cyclin D1 expression was observed in the sorafenib alone or combination treatments, leading to cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, the sorafenib-5-MTP combination significantly increased the inhibitory effect on migration and invasion of LLC cells compared to the single treatments. The combination also significantly downregulated vimentin and MMP9 levels, contributing to the inhibition of metastasis. The reduction of phosphorylated Akt and STAT3 expression may further contribute to the inhibitory effect on proliferation and metastasis. In vivo, the sorafenib-5-MTP combination further reduced tumor growth and metastasis compared to the treatment of sorafenib alone. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, our data indicate that 5-MTP sensitizes the antitumor activity of sorafenib in LLC cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that sorafenib-5-MTP has the potential to serve as a therapeutic option for patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
Crocetin is a kind of glycocone naturally occurring in Crocus sativus L.. It is an active metabolite produced by biohydrolysis of Crocus sativus L.. Crocetin has anti-cardiovascular diseases and antioxidant effects, but its anti-allergic effect has not been reported. In this study, the inhibitory effect of crocetin on immunoglobulin E (IgE) - mediated allergic reaction and the mechanism of action were investigated. The passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) was used to elucidate the anti-allergic effects of crocetin in vivo. Degranulation assay, calcium imaging, and cytokine release assay were to evaluate the anti-allergic effect of crocetin in vitro. We found that crocetin IgE-mediated RBL-2H3 cell degranulation and allergy both in vitro and in vivo. The TNF pathway was inhibited by crocetin in our RNA-seq sequences, Furthermore, crocetin inhibits IgE-mediated calcium influx, and PLC / IP3 phosphorylation in RBL-2H3 cells. Our findings suggested that crocetin revealed prominent anti-allergy activity through TNF and Ca2+/PLC/IP3 pathway.

Abstract
Mongolian willow (Salix linearistipularis) is a naturally occurring woody dioecious plant in the saline soils of north-eastern China, which has a high tolerance to alkaline salts. Although transcriptomics studies have identified a large number of salinity-responsive genes, the mechanism of salt tolerance in Mongolian willow is not clear. Here, we found that in response to Na2CO3 stress, Mongolian willow regulates osmotic homeostasis by accumulating proline and soluble sugars and scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) by antioxidant enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Our quantitative proteomics study identified 154 salt-sensitive proteins mainly involved in maintaining the stability of the photosynthetic system and ROS homeostasis to cope with Na2CO3 stress. Among them, Na2CO3-induced rubredoxin (RUB) was predicted to be associated with 122 proteins for the modulation of these processes. The chloroplast-localized S. linearistipularis rubredoxin (SlRUB) was highly expressed in leaves and was significantly induced under Na2CO3 stress. Phenotypic analysis of overexpression, mutation and complementation materials of RUB in Arabidopsis suggests that SlRUB is critical for the regulation of photosynthesis, ROS scavenging and other metabolisms in the seedlings of Mongolian willow to cope with Na2CO3 stress. This provides more clues to better understand the alkali-responsive mechanism and RUB functions in the woody Mongolian willow.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic disorders, including obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and abnormal lipid levels. However, researches on the association between overall dietary quality measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) and the risk of metabolic syndrome is still lacking. Methods This study utilized data from four cycles (2011-2018) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, including 17,582 participants. Logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the correlation between HEI and the risk of metabolic syndrome. Additionally, mediation analysis was conducted to examine the effects of Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) and serum uric acid as potential mediators between HEI and metabolic syndrome risk. Weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression evaluated the composite exposure impact of the 13 components of the HEI on metabolic syndrome, as well as the proportion of their weights. Results Higher dietary quality measured by HEI-2015 (at the 75th percentile) was negatively correlated with the risk of metabolic syndrome (OR=0.80, 95%CI=0.72-0.89, P=0.003). Higher SII and serum uric acid levels were identified as risk factors for metabolic syndrome (P for trend<0.001). Approximately 37.5% of the effect of HEI on metabolic syndrome occurrence was mediated by SII (Indirect effect=-0.002, 95%CI (-0.003,-0.001), Direct effect=-0.022, 95%CI (-0.0273,-0.015)). Additionally, 25% of the effect of HEI on metabolic syndrome occurrence was mediated by serum uric acid levels (Indirect effect=-0.006, 95%CI (-0.010,-0.012), Direct effect=-0.024, 95%CI (-0.041,-0.009)). WQS regression analysis revealed the highest weighted proportions for seafood and plant proteins (25.20%) and sodium (17.79%), while the weight for whole fruit was the lowest (0.25%). Conclusion Better dietary quality measured by HEI-2015 was associated with a lower likelihood of metabolic syndrome. Higher SII and serum uric acid levels were identified as risk factors for metabolic syndrome and potential mediators.

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the anti-oxidative stress effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced epileptic mice, and to evaluate the correlation of its mechanism with the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated signaling pathway. The experimental mice were separated into three groups: control, model, and DMF groups. Mice in the model group were administered PTZ to establish an epilepsy model, mice in the DMF group were administered DMF concurrently when modeling, and mice in the control group were administered a 0.9% NaCl solution. The latency, severity, and frequency of epileptic seizures in mice after each treatment were recorded, and the modelling success rate was computed at the conclusion of the experiment. The mice were euthanized, their levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and Nrf2 were measured, and the electron microscope was used to examine the mitochondrial damage of brain tissue. The latency of epileptic seizures was longer in the DMF group compared to the model group (P<0.05). The levels of MDA and ROS in the DMF group were lower than those in the model group (P<0.0001), and the activity of SOD in the DMF group was higher than that in the model group (P<0.0001); however, the levels of MDA and ROS were elevated and the activity of SOD was lower in both groups relative to the control group. The levels of 8-OHdG were lower in the DMF group than the model group (P<0.0001), however, the levels were higher in both groups compared to the control group. Mitochondrial abnormalities were more prevalent in the model group than in the DMF group, and more prevalent in both groups compared to the control group. The DMF group contained more Nrf2 content than the model group (P<0.0001), and both groups contained more Nrf2 than the control group. We concluded that the mechanism by which DMF reduced the level of oxidative stress in epileptic mice might involve the Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and prognosis of chemotherapy regimen containing Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor in the treatment of relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (R/R MCL). METHODS The clinical data of 134 patients with R/R MCL were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics of patients and effect of chemotherapy regimen on efficacy, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were observed. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 58(56-61) years old, and male to female ratio was about 2.9∶1. Patients with Ann Arbor stage III-IV accounted for 77.6%, extranodal involvement > 2 for 43.3%, bone marrow involvement for 60.4%, gastrointestinal involvement for 24.6%, and hepatosplenomegaly for 38.1%. The median follow-up time was 30 (2-103) months, overall response rate (ORR) was 41.8%, 3-year PFS was not reached, and 3-year and 5-year OS rate was 62.7% and 53.8%, respectively. The ORR of BTK inhibitor group was 56.9%, which was higher than 32.5% of non-BTK inhibitor group (P =0.006). The difference was statistically significant in PFS between the two groups (P =0.002), but was not in OS (P>0.05). The difference was statistically significant in OS between classical and special morphology (P < 0.001), but was not in PFS (P >0.05). Ki-67 was an influencing factor for OS and PFS. Multivariate analysis showed that Ki-67, B symptoms, MIPI score, and Ann Arbor stage were independent prognostic factors affecting patients' OS. The second-line treatment regimen was an independent prognostic factor affecting patients' PFS. CONCLUSIONS The chemotherapy regimen containing BTK inhibitors can effectively improve the efficacy and prolong the PFS of R/R MCL patients. Ki-67, B symptoms, MIPI score, and Ann Arbor stage are independent prognostic factors for R/R MCL patients.

Abstract
The autogenous bone ring technique is among the approaches for vertical alveolar ridge augmentation, and this technique can enable simultaneous implantation. However, the outcomes can be compromised due to donor site morbidity, shifting of the bone ring graft positioning, and inaccurate implant placement. In recent decades, dynamic navigation systems have been introduced into the field of implantology, allowing the accuracy of outcomes to be improved. This Technical Note describes the use of dynamic navigation to guide bone ring surgery, which is expected to enable more precise and predictable bone augmentation and implantation procedures, reduce the risk of injuries to the adjacent anatomical structures, and achieve better treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Background According to GLOBOCAN 2020, lymphoma ranked as the 9th most common cancer and the 12th leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on the invasive excisional lymph node biopsy, which is an invasive approach with some limitations. Most lymphoma patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage since they are asymptomatic at the beginning, which has significantly impacted treatment efficacy and prognosis of the disease. Method This study assessed the performance and utility of a newly developed blood-based assay (SeekInCare) for lymphoma early detection. SeekInCare utilized protein tumor markers and a comprehensive set of cancer-associated genomic features, including copy number aberration (CNA), fragment size (FS), end motif, and lymphoma-related virus, which were profiled by shallow WGS of cfDNA. Results Protein marker CA125 could be used for lymphoma detection independent of gender, and the sensitivity was 27.8% at specificity of 98.0%. After integrating these multi-dimensional features, 77.8% sensitivity was achieved at specificity of 98.0%, while its NPV and PPV were both more than 92% for lymphoma detection. The sensitivity of early-stage (I-II) lymphoma was up to 51.3% (47.4% and 55.0% for stage I and II respectively). After 2 cycles of treatment, the molecular response of SeekInCare was correlated with the clinical outcome. Conclusion In summary, a blood-based assay can be an alternative to detect lymphoma with adequate performance. This approach becomes particularly valuable in cases where obtaining tissue biopsy is difficult to obtain or inconclusive.

Abstract
Objective The primary objective of this research endeavor was to examine the underlying genetic causality between the age at first birth (AFB) and four prevalent esophageal diseases, namely oesophageal obstruction (OO), oesophageal varices (OV), gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR), and oesophageal cancer (OC). Methods We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to examine the causal association between AFB and four prevalent esophageal disorders. We employed eight distinct MR analysis techniques to evaluate causal relationships, encompassing random-effects inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR Egger, weighted median, simple mode, weighted mode, maximum likelihood, penalized weighted median, and fixed-effects IVW. The random-effects IVW method served as the primary approach for our analysis. Furthermore, we executed several sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of the genetic causal inferences. Results The random-effects IVW analysis revealed a significant negative genetic causal association between AFB and both GOR (P < 0.001, Odds Ratio [OR] 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 0.882 [0.828-0.940]) and OC (P < 0.001, OR 95% CI = 0.998 [0.998-0.999]). Conversely, there was insufficient evidence support to substantiate a genetic causal link between AFB and OO (P = 0.399, OR 95% CI = 0.873 [0.637-1.197]) or OV (P = 0.881, OR 95% CI = 0.978 [0.727-1.314]). The results of sensitivity analyses underscore the robustness and reliability of our MR analysis. Conclusion The findings of this investigation substantiate the notion that elevated AFB confers a protective effect against GOR and OC. In addition, no causative association was discerned between AFB and OO or OV at the genetic level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The RESCUE-ASDH trial found that disability and quality-of-life outcomes were similar between craniotomy and decompressive craniectomy for traumatic acute subdural hematoma, contrasting previous literature. This meta-analysis aims to validate the applicability of RESCUE-ASDH results using real-world data in acute subdural hematoma patients. METHODS We searched Chocrane, Embase, and MEDLINE for relevant articles reporting clinical outcomes of craniotomy and decompressive craniectomy. Meta-analysis utilized R software with the restricted maximum likelihood method for random-effects meta-analyses, presenting odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals with Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman adjustment for heterogeneity. RESULTS Besides RESCUE-ASDH, 5 retrospective studies were included, spanning 2006-2016. A total of 961 patients with traumatic ASDH were included in this study (Craniotomy = 467; Decompressive craniotomy = 494). The pooled analysis of retrospective studies showed no significant difference in poor clinical outcomes between the two groups (OR 0.59, 95% CI, 0.32 to 1.10). These findings align with the RESCUE-ASDH trial (OR 0.84, 95% CI, 0.58 to 1.23). Mortality rate was significant higher in patients undergoing craniectomy in pooled result of retrospective studies (OR 0.59, 95% CI, 0.32 to 1.10). In RESCUE-ASDH trial, reoperation rate was higher in the craniotomy group, but the pooled result of retrospective did not show significant difference between the craniotomy and craniectomy group. CONCLUSIONS This real-world evidence confirms the RESCUE-ASDH trial results. Both craniotomy and decompressive craniectomy yielded similar disability and quality-of-life outcomes for traumatic acute subdural hematoma patients.

Abstract
Background Broccoli is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with broad health benefits, but its intake frequency and dose-response relationship with mortality risk remain unclear. Methods Using data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006, 12,486 adults were included. Broccoli intake frequency was evaluated by a food frequency questionnaire, and all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks were followed up. The relationship between broccoli intake and mortality risk was analyzed using Cox models. Results Compared with never consumption of broccoli, different frequencies of broccoli consumption were associated with significantly decreased risks of all-cause mortality (p for trend <0.001). Consuming broccoli 1-2 times per week was associated with a 32-43% lower mortality risk. More frequent broccoli consumption was negatively correlated with cardiovascular and cancer mortality risks (p < 0.05). Consuming broccoli 1-2 times per week for males and ≥ 3 times per week for females could significantly reduce all-cause mortality risk. Conclusion Moderate and frequent consumption of broccoli may reduce the risks of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Optimal intake frequencies may differ by gender.

Abstract
Despite the significant progress in immunotherapy for certain cancers, including cervical cancer, most patients remain unresponsive or derive limited benefits from combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The factors underlying treatment resistance are unknown and there are few reliable predictive biomarkers. BATF2 is a member of the basic leucine zipper transcription factor family and is involved in immune response and immune cell development. However, the role of BATF2 in the immune microenvironment of patients with cervical cancer after radiotherapy remains unclear. In this study, immunohistochemistry and multicolour immunofluorescence analyses of patient tumor samples were used to assess BATF2 expression. We found that cervical cancer patients with high BATF2 expression had higher infiltration levels of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and macrophages within the tumor than those with low expression levels. Furthermore, BATF2 expression was positively correlated with the prognosis of patients after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. A wild-type mouse model with BATF2-knockdown U14 cell-derived subcutaneous tumors and a Batf2-/- mouse model with wild-type U14 cell-derived subcutaneous tumors were used to assess CD8+ T cell infiltration and function. As expected, the knockdown of BATF2 in the U14 cell line substantially promoted tumor growth, which was mediated by a reduction in CD8+ T cell infiltration and antitumor function in vivo. Additionally, the Batf2-/- mouse model demonstrated that host BATF2 is also involved in controlling tumor growth. Furthermore, the combination of radiotherapy and anti-PD-1 therapy showed synergistic antitumour effects. These findings collectively suggest that BATF2 may serve as a potent positive regulator of the tumor immune microenvironment of cervical cancer after radiotherapy, and has the potential to be a prognostic biomarker to guide the application of a combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Objective Significant differences have been discovered between subtypes of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The role of gut microbiota in promoting the onset of UC and CD is established, but conclusions regarding subtype-specific analyses remain limited. Methods This study aims to explore the influence of gut microbiota on subtypes of UC and CD, offering novel insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of UC and CD.Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was employed to examine the causal relationship between subtypes of UC and CD and gut microbiota composition. Gut microbiota data were sourced from the International Consortium MiBioGen, while UC and CD data were obtained from FINNGEN. Eligible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected as instrumental variables. Multiple analytical approaches such as inverse variance-weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode, and MR-RAPS were utilized. Sensitivity analyses including MR-Egger intercept test, Cochran's Q test, and leave-one-out analysis were conducted for quality control. Subsequently, we employed multivariable IVW, MR-Egger, weighted median, and LASSO regression methods to identify independently significant genera or families and conducted sensitivity analyses. Results We have determined that Hungatella, Acidaminococcaceae, and 15 other microbial taxa act as protective factors for various CD and UC subtypes, while Terrisporobacter, Anaerostipes, and 23 other microbial taxa are associated with increased risk for different CD and UC subtypes. Furthermore, through multivariable MR analysis, we have identified significant genera or families with independent effects. Conclusion Our study confirms a causal relationship between dysbiosis of gut microbiota and the occurrence of CD and UC subtypes. Furthermore, it validates etiological distinctions among different subtypes of CD and UC. A novel approach to adjunctive therapy involving distinct UC or CD subtypes may involve the use of probiotics and represents a potential avenue for future treatments.

Abstract
To reveal the key factors influencing vegetation productivity in sandy lands, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of vegetation productivity on regional scale, pixel scale, and plot scale of the sandy lands in northwes-tern Liaoning Province, based on soil physicochemical data, topographical data, climate data, and the intrinsic characteristics of vegetation. On the regional scale, we established a random forest model to explore the impact of topographical factors, climate factors, and vegetation characteristics on vegetation productivity. On the pixel scale, we performed a correlation analysis between vegetation cover and climate factors. On the plot scale, we combined the physicochemical properties of 234 soil samples with topographical factors and vegetation characteristics, and utilized the random forest model to calculate the importance values of each factor. The results showed that soil nutrients could explain 24.8% of the spatial variation in net primary productivity when other factors were excluded. When introducing topographical factors into the model, the model could explain 40% variation of net primary productivity. When further incorporating fractional vegetation coverage and leaf area index into the model, the model could explain 72.8% variation of net primary productivity. Our findings suggested that fractional vegetation coverage and leaf area index were the most influential factors affecting vegetation productivity in this area. Topographical factors ranked second, followed by climate factors, which had a relatively small impact.

Abstract
To realize efficient electrocatalytic degradation of organic compounds in alkaline wastewater, an Sb-doped SnO2/Ti electrode was fabricated and employed for the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB), and the electrocatalytic oxidation performance of this electrode was assessed in an alkaline medium. In an alkaline solution (pH 11), the complete fading of 50 mg·L-1 RhB could be achieved after 150 min of degradation, the removal efficiency of the chemical oxygen demand reached 56.1% at 300 min, and the degradation process of RhB followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model very well. Under the attack of hydroxyl radicals, partial RhB was degraded to low-molecular-weight organic acids through N-demethylation and the destruction of the conjugated chromophore. Various techniques including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and cycle voltammetry were used to examine the changes in the morphology and structure, as well as the activity of the Sb-doped SnO2/Ti electrode before and after use. The Sb-doped SnO2/Ti electrode could be reproduced in batches, and each electrode was reused up to eight times without a significant decrease in degradation ability; the leaching amount of antimony was significantly lower than the national emission standard. The electrocatalytic oxidation of the dye wastewater sample was also performed with the desired results, indicating that electrochemical oxidation is a very promising technology for the treatment of alkaline dye wastewater using a Sb-doped SnO2/Ti electrode.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies suggested that the immunophenotype of hyaline vascular type Castleman disease (HVCD) lacked characteristics, which was easy to be confused with other diseases. METHODS From January 2010 to June 2022, 17 cases of HVCD were selected from the Department of Pathology of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital and the Department of Pathology of Shaanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital. 13 cases of reactive hyperplastic lymph nodes (RHL) and 11 cases of follicular lymphoma (FL) were selected as the control group. All cases were performed CD3, CD20, CD21 and BCL2 immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS (i) In 17 cases of HVCD, the negative area of BCL2 of germinal center was significantly smaller than the negative area of CD3 of germinal center. However, in 13 cases of RHL, the negative area of CD3 of germinal center was basically consistent with the negative area of germinal center of BCL2 of germinal center. In 11 cases of FL, in neoplastic follicles, the negative area of CD3 was basically consistent with the positive area of BCL2. The difference between HVCD group and other two groups of diseases was statistically significant (P < 0.05). (ii) In 17 cases of HVCD, the negative area of BCL2 of germinal center was significantly smaller than the follicular dendritic cell (FDC) meshworks expressed by CD21. However, in 13 cases of RHL, the FDC meshworks expressed by CD21 were basically consistent with the negative area of BCL2 of germinal center. In 11 cases of FL, in neoplastic follicles, the FDC meshworks expressed by CD21 was basically consistent with the positive area of BCL2. The difference between HVCD group and other two groups of disease was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS HVCD has unique immunophenotypic characteristics. The negative area of BCL2 of germinal center is significantly smaller than the negative area of CD3. The negative area of the BCL2 of germinal center is significantly smaller than the FDC meshworks expressed by CD21. These two immunophenotypic features in HVCD are very important in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Despite the remarkable clinical success of immunotherapies in a subset of cancer patients, many fail to respond to treatment and exhibit resistance. Here, we found that genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of the lipid kinase PIKfyve, a regulator of autophagic flux and lysosomal biogenesis, upregulated surface expression of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) in cancer cells via impairing autophagic flux, resulting in enhanced cancer cell killing mediated by CD8+ T cells. Genetic depletion or pharmacologic inhibition of PIKfyve elevated tumor-specific MHC-I surface expression, increased intratumoral functional CD8+ T cells, and slowed tumor progression in multiple syngeneic mouse models. Importantly, enhanced antitumor responses by Pikfyve-depletion were CD8+ T cell- and MHC-I-dependent, as CD8+ T cell depletion or B2m knockout rescued tumor growth. Furthermore, PIKfyve inhibition improved response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), adoptive cell therapy, and a therapeutic vaccine. High expression of PIKFYVE was also predictive of poor response to ICB and prognostic of poor survival in ICB-treated cohorts. Collectively, our findings show that targeting PIKfyve enhances immunotherapies by elevating surface expression of MHC-I in cancer cells, and PIKfyve inhibitors have potential as agents to increase immunotherapy response in cancer patients.

Abstract
Background The occurrence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) is driven by multiple factors including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. However, epidemiological research investigating the association between metal exposure and MASLD occurrence remains limited. Methods We conducted a large cross-sectional study with 6,520 participants who were involved in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and 2018. Using generalized linear regression, we examined the relationship between five heavy metals (mercury, manganese, lead, selenium, cadmium) and MASLD. Furthermore, restricted cubic spline models and weighted quantile sum (WQS) analysis were employed to characterize the exposure-response relationship between the five metals and MASLD. Results Higher blood selenium levels were associated with an increased likelihood of MASLD among US adults. Blood lead exposure was also positively correlated with MASLD risk. However, there was no significant association observed between blood cadmium, mercury, manganese levels, and MASLD risk. Among the five metals, blood cadmium exposure accounted for the highest proportion of MASLD risk. Conclusion Our study indicated the significant association between blood cadmium and lead exposure levels and the occurrence of MASLD in a representative sample of US adults.

Abstract
Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor giving a poor prognosis with the current treatment options. The advent of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy revolutionized the field of immunotherapy and has provided a new set of therapeutic options for refractory blood cancers. In an effort to apply this therapeutic approach to solid tumors, various immune cell types and CAR constructs are being studied. Notably, macrophages have recently emerged as potential candidates for targeting solid tumors, attributed to their inherent tumor-infiltrating capacity and abundant presence in the tumor microenvironment. Materials and methods In this study, we developed a chemically defined differentiation protocol to generate macrophages from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). A GBM-specific CAR was genetically incorporated into hPSCs to generate CAR hPSC-derived macrophages. Results The CAR hPSC-derived macrophages exhibited potent anticancer activity against GBM cells in vitro. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of generating functional CAR-macrophages from hPSCs for adoptive immunotherapy, thereby opening new avenues for the treatment of solid tumors, particularly GBM.

Abstract
Understanding the underlying pleiotropic relationships among growth and body size traits is important for refining breeding strategies in dairy cattle for optimal body size and growth rate. Therefore, we performed single-trait GWAS for monthly-recorded body weight (BW), hip height, body length, and chest girth from birth to 12 mo of age in Holstein animals, followed by stepwise multiple regression of independent or lowly-linked markers from GWAS loci using conditional and joint association analyses (COJO). Subsequently, we conducted a multitrait meta-analysis to detect pleiotropic markers. Based on the single-trait GWAS, we identified 170 significant SNPs, in which 59 of them remained significant after the COJO analyses. The most significant SNP, located at BTA7:3,676,741, explained 2.93% of the total phenotypic variance for BW6 (BW at 6 mo of age). We identified 17 SNPs with potential pleiotropic effects based on the multitrait meta-analyses, which resulted in 3 additional SNPs in comparison to those detected based on the single-trait GWAS. The identified quantitative trait loci regions overlap with genes known to influence human growth-related traits. According to positional and functional analyses, we proposed HMGA2, HNF4G, MED13L, BHLHE40, FRZB, DMP1, TRIB3, and GATAD2A as important candidate genes influencing the studied traits. The combination of single-trait GWAS and meta-analyses of GWAS results improved the efficiency of detecting associated SNPs, and provided new insights into the genetic mechanisms of growth and development in Holstein cattle.

Abstract
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) continue to cause tremendous economic losses to the global animal industry and respiratory diseases and deaths among humans. The nuclear import of the vRNP complex, composed of polymerase basic protein 1 (PB1), polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2), polymerase acidic protein (PA), nucleoprotein (NP), and viral RNA, is essential for the efficient replication of IAV. Host factors involved in this process can be targeted for the development of countermeasures against IAV infection. Here, we found that Ankyrin Repeat and BTB Domain Containing 1 (ABTB1) promotes the replication of IAV, and positively regulates the nuclear import of the vRNP complex. ABTB1 did not interact directly with NP, indicating that ABTB1 plays an indirect role in facilitating the nuclear import of the vRNP complex. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry revealed that Tripartite Motif Containing 4 (TRIM4) interacts with ABTB1. We found that TRIM4 relies on its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity to inhibit the replication of IAV by targeting and degrading NP within the incoming vRNP complex as well as the newly synthesized NP. ABTB1 interacted with TRIM4, leading to TRIM4 degradation through the proteasome system. Notably, ABTB1-mediated degradation of TRIM4 blocked the effect of TRIM4 on NP stability, and largely counteracted the inhibitory effect of TRIM4 on IAV replication. Our findings define a novel role for ABTB1 in aiding the nuclear import of the vRNP complex of IAV by counteracting the destabilizing effect of TRIM4 on the viral NP protein.

Abstract
In recent years, many models have been developed to describe the gas-liquid microdispersion process, which mainly rely on mechanistic analysis and may not be universally applicable. In order to provide a more comprehensive model and, most significantly, to provide a model for design, we have established a general database of microbubble generation in T-junction microdevices, including 854 data points from 12 pieces of literature. A neural network model that combines mechanistic and data modeling is developed. By transfer learning, more accurate results can be obtained. Additionally, we have proposed a design method that enables a relative deviation of less than 5% from the expected bubble size. A new device was designed and prepared to confirm the reliability of the method, which can prepare smaller bubbles than other common T-junction devices. In this way, a general and universal database and model are established and a design method for a gas-liquid T-junction microreactor is developed.

Abstract
Modulated laser absorption spectroscopy is an ideal technique for evaluating flow-field parameters and determining flow-field quality by measuring the atoms dissociated in high-temperature environments. However, to obtain the absolute number density of atoms in the flow field, it is necessary to compare the measured modulated absorption spectroscopy signal with a known atomic concentration and establish a quantitative relationship through concentration calibration. Nevertheless, it remains a challenging task to prepare transient atomic samples with known concentrations that meet the calibration requirements. This study utilized the alternating-current glow discharge technique to dissociate oxygen in the air flow, resulting in the continuous generation of oxygen atoms. The absolute number densities of the generated oxygen atoms were determined by measuring the direct absorption spectra of centered on 777 nm for oxygen atoms. The number densities of the generated atoms were finely tuned by adjusting the discharge parameters. Throughout the 120-min continuous operation of the discharge system, the concentration of excited-state oxygen atoms remained stable within the range of (2.51 ± 0.02) × 108 cm-3, demonstrating the remarkable stability of the transient atomic concentration generated by the glow discharge plasma. This observation suggests that the generated atoms can be utilized as a standardized atomic sample of known concentration for absolute concentration calibration purposes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Venous-arterial venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-AV ECMO), as a new clinical application of ECMO, showed great clinical application potential in the treatment of patients with combined cardiopulmonary failure. Given the complicated cannulation strategy of V-AV ECMO, its influence on the hemodynamics of the human circulatory system remained unclear. METHODS In this paper, a fluid-structure interaction was used to study the effect of V-AV ECMO oxygenated blood shunt ratio on right atrial recirculation and tricuspid valve (TV) blood oxygen saturation. In this study, the right atrium, superior vena cava supplying cannulae and inferior vena cava draining cannulae model of a specific patient was constructed. Seven cases with shunt ratio of 12.50%, 18.75%, 25.00%, 31.25%, 37.50%, 43.75% and 50.00% were designed. RESULTS The streamline diagram and velocity contour of oxygenated blood, recirculation fraction (RF), correlation of three variables (shunt ratio, RF, and oxygen saturation), and the oxygen saturation of blood at the TV were extracted for the study. Study results showed that, first, as the shunt ratio increased, the RF of the seven cases was 14.64%, 29.87%, 33.85%, 40.12%, 40.40%, 40.02%, and 38.09%. Second, with the increase of the shunt ratio, oxygen saturation of blood at the TV in seven cases was 82.1%, 82.5%, 83.3%, 83.3%, 84.0%, 84.6%, and 85.3%. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the shunt ratio had a strong correlation with the RF and oxygen saturation of blood at the TV. As the shunt ratio increased, the RF initially increased and then stabilized. However, oxygen saturation of blood at the TV would increase with the increase of the shunt ratio, but the degree of increase was small. This research provided useful information for surgeons and operators using V-AV ECMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning is used for patient setup in image-guided radiotherapy. However, its inaccurate CT numbers limit its applicability in dose calculation and treatment planning. PURPOSE This study compares four deep learning methods for generating synthetic CT (sCT) to determine which method is more appropriate and offers potential for further clinical exploration in adaptive proton therapy for nasopharynx cancer. METHODS CBCTs and deformed planning CT (dCT) from 75 patients (60/5/10 for training, validation and testing) were used to compare cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Network (cycleGAN), Unet, Unet+cycleGAN and conditionalGenerative Adversarial Network (cGAN) for sCT generation. The sCT images generated by each method were evaluated against dCT images using mean absolute error (MAE), structural similarity (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), spatial non-uniformity (SNU) and radial averaging in the frequency domain. In addition, dosimetric accuracy was assessed through gamma analysis, differences in water equivalent thickness (WET), and dose-volume histogram metrics. RESULTS The cGAN model has demonstrated optimal performance in the four models across various indicators. In terms of image quality under global condition, the average MAE has been reduced to 16.39HU, SSIM has increased to 95.24%, and PSNR has increased to 28.98. Regarding dosimetric accuracy, the gamma passing rate (2%/2 mm) has reached 99.02%, and the WET difference is only 1.28 mm. The D95 value of CTVs coverage and Dmax value of spinal cord, brainstem show no significant differences between dCT and sCT generated by cGAN model. CONCLUSIONS The cGAN model has been shown to be a more suitable approach for generating sCT using CBCT, considering its characteristics and concepts. The resulting sCT has the potential for application in adaptive proton therapy.
