Abstract
Exercise-induced mechanical loading can increase bone strength whilst mechanical unloading enhances bone-loss. Here, we investigated the role of lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2 in unloading-induced bone-loss. Knockout of lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2 in hindlimb-unloaded mice caused an increase in the bone formation and osteoblast activity. The silencing of lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2 also decreased the osteoblast apoptosis and expression of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, increased Bcl-2 protein expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that NONMMUT004552.2 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to facilitate the protein expression of spectrin repeat containing, nuclear envelope 1 (Syne1) by competitively binding miR-15b-5p and subsequently inhibits the osteoblast differentiation and bone formation in the microgravity unloading environment. These data highlight the importance of the lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2/miR-15b-5p/Syne1 axis for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Chromosomal translocation serves as a crucial diagnostic marker in the classification of acute myeloid leukemia. Among the most prevalent cytogenetic abnormalities is t(8;21)(q22;q22), typically associated with the FAB subtype AML-M2. On occasion, alternative forms of t(8;21) have been observed. This report presents a case of AML with RUNX1::RUNX1T1, wherein the karyotype revealed t(2;2;21;8)(p21;q37;q22;q22), representing the first instance of a variant t(8;21) involving both chromosomes 2. The combination of routine karyotype analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization proves to be an effective method for identifying complex translocations of t(8;21).

Abstract
Carbonyl aromatic compounds are promising cathode candidates for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their low weight and absence of cobalt and other metals, but they face constraints of limited redox-potential and low stability compared to traditional inorganic cathode materials. Herein, by means of first-principles calculations, a significant improvement of the electrochemical performance for carbonyl-bridged heterotriangulenes (CBHTs) is reported by introducing pyridinic N in their skeletons. Different center atoms (B, N, and P) and different types of functionalization with nitrogen effectively regulate the redox activity, conductivity, and solubility of CBHTs by influencing their electron affinity, energy levels of frontier orbitals and molecular polarity. By incorporating pyridinic N adjacent to the carbonyl groups, the electrochemical performance of N-functionalized CBHTs is significantly improved. Foremost, the estimated energy density reaches 1524 Wh kg-1 for carbonyl-bridged tri (3,5-pyrimidyl) borane, 50% higher than in the inorganic reference material LiCoO2 , rendering N-functionalized CBHTs promising organic cathode materials for LIBs. The investigation reveals the underlying structure-performance relationship of conjugated carbonyl compounds and sheds new lights for the rational design of redox-active organic molecules for high-performance lithium ion batteries (LIBs).

Abstract
Background The central nervous system (CNS) is the most common site of extramedullary invasion in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and involvement of the CNS is often associated with relapse, refractory disease, and poor prognosis. Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy, a promising modality in cancer immunotherapy, has demonstrated significant advantages in the treatment of hematological malignancies. However, due to associated adverse reactions such as nervous system toxicity, the safety and efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy in treating CNSL remains controversial, with limited reports available. Case report Here, we present the case of a patient with confirmed B-ALL who experienced relapse in both bone marrow (BM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) despite multiple cycles of chemotherapy and intrathecal injections. The infusion of autologous CD19 CAR-T cells resulted in complete remission (CR) in both BM and CSF for 40 days. However, the patient later experienced a relapse in the bone marrow. Subsequently, allogeneic CD19 CAR-T cells derived from her brother were infused, leading to another achievement of CR in BM. Significantly, only grade 1 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) events were detected during the treatment period and showed improvement with symptomatic management. During subsequent follow-up, the patient achieved a disease-free survival of 5 months and was successfully bridged to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Conclusion Our study provides support for the argument that CNS involvement should not be deemed an absolute contraindication to CAR-T cell therapy. With the implementation of suitable management and treatment strategies, CAR-T therapy can proficiently target tumor cells within the CNS. This treatment option may be particularly beneficial for relapsed or refractory patients, as well as those with central nervous system involvement who have shown limited response to conventional therapies. Additionally, CAR-T cell therapy may serve as a valuable bridge to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in these patients.

Abstract
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1 or KDM1A ) has emerged as a critical mediator of tumor progression in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Among mCRPC subtypes, neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is an exceptionally aggressive variant driven by lineage plasticity, an adaptive resistance mechanism to androgen receptor axis-targeted therapies. Our study shows that LSD1 expression is elevated in NEPC and associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Using genetic approaches, we validated the on-target effects of LSD1 inhibition across various models. We investigated the therapeutic potential of bomedemstat, an orally bioavailable, irreversible LSD1 inhibitor with low nanomolar potency. Our findings demonstrate potent antitumor activity against CRPC models, including tumor regressions in NEPC patient-derived xenografts. Mechanistically, our study uncovers that LSD1 inhibition suppresses the neuronal transcriptional program by downregulating ASCL1 through disrupting LSD1:INSM1 interactions and de-repressing YAP1 silencing. Our data support the clinical development of LSD1 inhibitors for treating CRPC - especially the aggressive NE phenotype. Statement of Significance Neuroendocrine prostate cancer presents a clinical challenge due to the lack of effective treatments. Our research demonstrates that bomedemstat, a potent and selective LSD1 inhibitor, effectively combats neuroendocrine prostate cancer by downregulating the ASCL1- dependent NE transcriptional program and re-expressing YAP1.

Abstract
Since HMAs were recommended for treatments in AML and MDS, we wondered whether HMAs could provide similar benefit to AML and intermediate/high-risk MDS under the direction of next-generation sequencing. Here we retrospectively analyzed the prognosis of 176 AML and 128 intermediate/high-risk MDS patients treated with HMAs or non-HMA regimens. For AML, HMAs regimen was related to better CR rate compared with non-HMA regimen in elder cohort, while the situation was the opposite in younger cohort. In consolidation phase, EMM (+) patients could benefit from HMAs regimen. Relapsed AML patients receiving HMAs regimen rather than non-HMA regimen had better post-relapse survival. Multivariate analysis identified HMA regimen as an independent prognostic factor for OS in EMM (+) cohort. For intermediate/high-risk MDS patients not undergoing HSCT, however, HMA regimen showed no survival advantage in EMM (+) cohort and was conversely associated with shorter survival in EMM (-) cohort compared with non-HMA regimen. And among those undergoing HSCT, HMA prior to HSCT predicted poor prognosis compared with upfront HSCT regardless of the existence of EMMs. Therefore, HMAs had better therapeutic value in AML rather than in intermediate/high-risk MDS based on EMMs.

Abstract
CoX4 (X = NH, S, and O) motifs have demonstrated their high catalytic activity in the platforms of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), however, the underlying reason is still unrevealed. Herein, we propose monolayers constructed by linking TMNxO4-x motifs (TM = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) with trioxotriangulenes (TOTs) as suitable models to clarify the structure-property-performance relationship of 2D MOFs for the oxygen evolution/reduction reaction (OER/ORR). The highly robust catalytic activity of CoNxO4-x for both the OER and the ORR has been confirmed, even surpassing that of most previously reported 2D MOFs and SACs. This activity is attributed to the moderate interaction between Co and the key intermediate species, which can be modulated by the coordinating atoms. We reveal spin momentum as a reliable activity descriptor in rationalizing the OER/ORR activity, which can be extended to many other 2D MOFs. The elucidated structure-activity relationship is significant for the development of effective bifunctional OER/ORR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a low-grade lymphoproliferative tumor that occurs frequently in middle-aged and elderly people. Early and precise intervention can effectively improve the clinical prognosis of CLL patients. In the past, chemotherapy was the main treatment plan. With the development of molecular biology and the continuous advent of immune targeting drugs, targeted drugs targeting B cell receptor signaling pathway have shown high clinical application value in the diagnosis and treatment path of CLL. Cellular immunotherapies such as CAR-T also offer hope for patients with relapsed and refractory CLL. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and multi-drug combination have also shown remarkable results in clinical practice. The purpose of this article is to review the latest research progress in the treatment of CLL.

Abstract
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging has demonstrated its capability in providing time-lapse fluid flow visualisation for improving the understanding of flow properties of geologic media. To investigate the process of CO2 geo-sequestration using PET imaging technology, [11C]CO2 is the most optimal and direct radiotracer. However, it has not been extensively used due to the short half-life of Carbon-11 (20.4 minutes). In this work, a novel laboratory protocol is developed to use [11C]CO2 as radiolabelled tracer to visualise and quantify in-situ CO2 adsorption, spreading, diffusion, and advection flow in coal. This protocol consists of generation and delivering of [11C]CO2, lab-based PET scanning, subsequent micro-CT scanning, and data processing. The lab-based PET scanning setup integrates in-situ core flooding tests with PET scanning. The real-time PET images are acquired under different storage conditions, including early gas production stage, depleted stage, and late storage stage. These datasets can be used to study across-scale theoretical and experimental study of CO2 flow behaviour in coal with the application to CO2 geo-sequestration.

Abstract
Qubits are the basic unit of quantum information and computation. To realize quantum computing and information processing, the decoherence times of qubits must be long enough. Among the studies of molecule-based electron spin qubits, most of the work focused on the ions with the spin S=1/2, where only single-bit gates can be constructed. However, quantum operations require the qubits to interact with each other, so people gradually carry out relevant research in ions or systems with S>1/2 and multilevel states. In this work, a two-dimensional (2D) oxygen-coordinated GdIII NaI -based oxamato supramolecular coordination framework, Na[Gd(4-HOpa)4 (H2 O)] ⋅ 2H2 O (1, 4-HOpa=N-4-hydroxyphenyloxamate), was selected as a possible carrier of qubit. The field-induced slow magnetic relaxation shows this system has phonon bottleneck (PB) effect at low temperatures with a very weak magnetic anisotropy. The pulse electron paramagnetic resonance studies show the spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times are T1 =1.66 ms at 4 K and Tm =4.25 μs at 8 K for its diamagnetically diluted sample (1Gd0.12 %). It suggested that the relatively long decoherence time is mainly ascribed to its near isotropic and the PB effect from resonance phonon trapped for pure sample, while the dilution further improves its qubit performance.

Abstract
Searching for electrode materials with good electrical conductivity, fast charge/discharge rates and high storage capacity is essential for the development of high-performance metal ion batteries. Here, by performing first principles calculations, we have explored the feasibility of using two dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) constructed by tri-quinazoline, triquinoxalinylene and benzoquinone, and tribenzoquinoxaline-5,10-dione and benzoquinone (BQ2), as electrode materials for lithium and sodium ion batteries. All the designed 2D COFs show good structure stability and are semiconductors with a band gap of 1.63-2.93 eV because of the high electron conjugation of the skeletons. The pyrazine N and carbonyl groups are revealed to be the active sites to combine Li/Na, while the Li-/Na-binding strength can be highly enhanced when the pyrazine N and the carbonyl group are located in adjacent sites. The designed 2D COFs show a low Li and Na diffusion barrier in the range of 0.28-0.56 eV to guarantee high rate performance for LIBs/SIBs. With abundant redox active sites, 2D BQ2-COF shows a high theoretical capacity of 1030 mA h g-1 with an average open circuit voltage of 0.80 and 0.67 V for LIBs and SIBs, respectively, which is comparable to that of the most advanced inorganic anode materials. Composed of only light elements, the designed 2D COFs are predicted to be promising anode materials with high energy density, good conductivity and high-rate performance for sustainable LIBs and SIBs.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax in combination with hypomethylating agents and CAG (VEN-DCAG) regimens in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). Methods The treatment response was analyzed by retrospective methods in R/R AML patients treated with the VEN-DCAG regimen at our institution. This included, but was not limited to, CR/CRi (complete remission/complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery) rate, measurable residual disease (MRD) negative rate, and overall survival (OS). Results 20 patients with R/R AML were recruited, with a median age of 40 years (10-70), 11 of whom were male (55%), and a median follow-up of 10.4 months (0.7-21.8). The overall response rate (ORR) after receiving 1 course of VEN-DCAG was 90% (18/20), with 17 (85%) CR/CRi (10 MRD-CR), 1 (5%) PR, and 2 (10%) NR. Subsequently, 12 patients (7 MRD-CR, 4 MRD+CR, 1 NR) were treated with the VEN-DCAG regimen, and 3 MRD+CR patients turned negative, and 13 patients finally achieved MRD-CR. Among them, 7 patients were in the relapse group, all achieving CR/CRi (6 MRD-CR), and 13 patients in the refractory group, with 10 CR/CRi (7 MRD-CR). The ORR for patients in the relapse and refractory groups was 100% (7/7) and 84.6% (11/13), respectively. Further, all patients experienced adverse events (AEs) of varying degrees of severity, with hematologic AEs primarily consisting of myelosuppression, while non-hematologic AEs were more common in the form of fever, gastrointestinal distress, and infections. 11 patients were followed up with bridging allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) therapy. At the last follow-up, 11 patients (7 MRD-CR, 4 MRD+CR) who received allo-HSCT, 1 (MRD+CR) died, and 9 patients (6 MRD-CR, 1 PR, 2 NR) who did not receive allo-HSCT, 5 (2 MRD-CR, 1 PR, 2 NR) died as well. Conclusion The VEN-DCAG regimen may be an effective treatment option for R/R AML patients, with high ORR and MRD negative remission rates in both the relapsed and refractory groups. It is recommend that patients should be bridged to allo-HSCT as soon as possible after induction to CR by the VEN-DCAG regimen, which can lead to a significant long-term survival benefit.

Abstract
Objective Quality of Life (QoL) has been a multifactorial concerning issue in oncology. We aimed to inspect the pre-operative QoL among patients with craniopharyngioma and to explore the potential correlations between parameters of QoL and clinical indices. Subjects and methods We enrolled a total of 109 patients with craniopharyngioma. We utilized Short Form 36 (SF-36), Symptom Check List-90, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire scale (GAD7), Patient Health Questionnaire Depression (PHQ9) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to prospectively evaluated their QoL. Parameters of QoL along with clinical indices were compared among sub-groups divided according to Puget classification. Correlation analyses and regression analyses were performed to detect influential determinants to self-reported wellness. Results Patients presented impaired QoL compared with general population (p < 0.001), as assessed by SF-36. Correlation analyses indicated the detrimental influence resulting from central diabetes insipidus (CDI). Multivariate linear regression unveiled the adverse effect of CDI on Mental Component Summary (coefficient = -13.869, p= 0.007), GAD7 total score (coefficient = 2.072, p = 0.049) as well as PHQ9 total score (coefficient = 3.721, p = 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression verified CDI as a risk factor of developing depressive symptoms (OR = 6.160, p = 0.001). Conclusion QoL of patients with craniopharyngioma was remarkably compromised before operation. CDI exerted detrimental influences on patients' QoL and it might serve as a marker for early identification of patients at risk of depression.

Abstract
RATIONALE Isaacs syndrome is peripheral nerve hyperexcitability characterized by spontaneous muscle twitching and rigidity and is often associated with antibodies to CASPR2 (contactin-associated protein-like 2) and LGI1 (leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1). But it is a rare Isaacs syndrome with LGI1 and CASPR2 antibodies after human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient presented with limb pain, muscle twitching, numbness in the extremities and around the mouth, and hand rash after the second dose of HPV vaccine. DIAGNOSES Laboratory tests indicated positive for LGI1 antibodies, CASPR2 antibodies, anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies and anti-sulfatide antibodies, TPO and ATG, IgG E. The patient post-M-wave discharges were seen on F-wave examination of the posterior tibial nerve in both lower limbs. We diagnosis the patient with Isaacs syndrome. INTERVENTIONS Treatment with the intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment, after 5 days of IVIG therapy (0.4 mg/kg/day), the rash on the hand disappeared, the pain was relieved, the sleep improved. OUTCOMES After 3 Courses of treatment, the clinical manifestations of the nervous system disappeared and negative responsibility antibodies profile. LESSONS This case report suggests a possible adverse reaction to HPV vaccination, which could be treated by attempting several periods of IVIG therapy. The underlying immune mechanisms need to be studied with further extensive data.

Abstract
With the existing pressure sensors, it is difficult to achieve the unification of wide pressure response range and high sensitivity. Furthermore, the preparation of pressure sensors with excellent performance for sleep health monitoring has become a research difficulty. In this paper, based on material and microstructure synergistic enhancement mechanism, a hybrid pressure sensor (HPS) integrating triboelectric pressure sensor (TPS) and piezoelectric pressure sensor (PPS) is proposed. For the TPS, a simple, low-cost, and structurally controllable microstructure preparation method is proposed in order to investigate the effect of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) and hierarchical composite microstructures on the electrical properties of CNOs@Ecoflex. The PPS is used to broaden the pressure response range and reduce the pressure detection limit of HPS. It has been experimentally demonstrated that the HPS has a high sensitivity of 2.46 V/104 Pa (50-600 kPa) and a wide response range of up to 1200 kPa. Moreover, the HPS has a low detection limit (10 kPa), a high stability (over 100,000 cycles), and a fast response time. The sleep monitoring system constructed based on HPS shows remarkable performance in breathing state recognition and sleeping posture supervisory control, which will exhibit enormous potential in areas such as sleep health monitoring and potential disease prediction.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Several prospective trials in oligometastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (omCSPC) have shown metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) can delay time to progression and initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to observation. However, the optimal integration of ADT with MDT remains unclear. Here we report a multi-national, multi-institutional retrospective cohort of omCSPC treated with MDT to characterize the long-term outcomes of patients treated with MDT alone or in combination with ADT. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with a controlled primary site and omCSPC (defined as ≤ 5 lesions on conventional imaging) treated with MDT with or without concurrent ADT and with at least 36 months follow-up were retrospectively screened across 13 institutions. The primary endpoints included biochemical progression free survival (bPFS) and radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and stratified by treatment group (MDT alone vs MDT + ADT). Multivariable Cox regression was performed adjusted for variables found to be prognostic on univariate analysis. RESULTS Among 414 patients screened, a total of 263 patients treated between 2003 and 2018 met inclusion criteria and included. Of these, 105 received MDT alone and 158 received MDT+ADT, with median follow-up of 49.5 and 54.5 months, respectively. The majority were metachronous (90%) and had bone lesions (60%). Median ADT duration was 21.3 months (IQR 12.0- 31.9). Patients who received ADT vs. no ADT had poorer prognostic features including 23% vs. 1% synchronous (p<0.001), and 55% vs 40% Gleason 8-10 (p = 0.012). ADT use was associated with a better 5-year bPFS 24% vs 11% (p<0.0001) and rPFS 41% vs 29% (p<0.001). On multivariable Cox regression adjusting for post-MDT PSA nadir and salvage therapy, ADT use maintained significance for both bPFS (HR 0.51 (0.36, 0.71), p<0.001) and rPFS (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.46-0.96, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Long-term outcomes with MDT alone suggest a small proportion of patients experience sustained disease control. The addition of ADT appears to improve rPFS, however prospective studies are needed in order to allow for personalization of care in patients with omCSPC.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease characterized by lipid accumulation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, while effective therapies targeting the specific characteristics of NAFLD are limited. Ufmylation is a newly found post-translational modification process that involves the attachment of the Ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1) protein to its substrates via ufmylation modification system. Ufmylation regulates ER stress via modifying UFM1 binding protein 1 (UFBP1), suggesting a potential role for ufmylation in NAFLD pathogenesis. However, the precise role of ufmylation in NAFLD remains unclear. Herein, we aim to elucidate the impact of ufmylation on UFBP1 in NAFLD and explore the underlying mechanisms involved. We observed increased expression of UFM1-conjugated proteins and ufmylation modification system components in livers with steatosis derived from NAFLD patients and NAFLD models. Upregulation of ufmylation on hepatic proteins appeared to be an adaptive response to hepatic ER stress in NAFLD. In vitro, knocking down UFBP1 resulted in increased lipid accumulation and lipogenesis in hepatocytes treated with free fatty acids (FFA), which could be rescued by wild-type UFBP1 (WT UFBP1) but not by a mutant form of UFBP1 lacking the main ufmylation site lys267 (UFBP1 K267R). In vivo, ufmylation on UFBP1 ameliorated obesity, hepatic steatosis, hepatic lipogenesis, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and liver damage in mice with NAFLD induced by a high fat diet (HFD). We also demonstrated that the downregulation of UFBP1 induced ER stress, whereas the reintroduction or overexpression of UFBP1 alleviated ER stress in a manner dependent on ufmylation in NAFLD. This mechanism could be responsible for the amelioration of aberrant hepatic lipogenesis and insulin resistance in NAFLD. Our data reveal a protective role of ufmylation on UFBP1 against NAFLD and offer a specific target for NAFLD treatment.

Abstract
Emissions from transportation fuel vehicles are polluting the environment more than ever before. Currently, autonomous delivery vehicles (ADVs) are welcomed by logistics service providers and lots of consumers in general for their significant contribution in reducing environmental pollution and increasing delivery efficiency. However, there is a lack of in-depth research on consumers' willingness to adopt ADVs, despite the fact that ADVs are innovative delivery method in the field of last-mile delivery. The purpose of the study is to expand the existing knowledge of consumers' adoption behaviors by developing and testing the extended Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory in autonomous delivery literature. In particular, the study adds subjective norms and COVID-19 risk into the original VBN model as a theoretical framework to gain a comprehensive understanding of the consumer decision-making processes with respect to their intentions to use ADVs. Structural equation modeling is conducted using data from a web-based survey of 561 consumers through an online sample platform. The results of the study demonstrated that both subjective norms and COVID-19 risk are all related with consumers' intention to use ADVs. The casual chain hypotheses of the extend VBN theory mentioned in our study are all supported. The results of the study make significant theoretical and managerial contributions to the field of last-mile delivery and the adoption behaviors of emerging technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the major types of lung cancer with high morbidity and mortality. The TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP) is a ring-type E3 ubiquitin ligase which has been recently identified to play pivotal roles in various cancers. However, the expression and function of TRAIP in LUAD remain elusive. METHODS In this study, we used bioinformatic tools as well as molecular experiments to explore the exact role of TRAIP and the underlying mechanism. RESULTS Data mining across the UALCAN, GEPIA and GTEx, GEO and HPA databases revealed that TRAIP was significantly overexpressed in LUAD tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that high TRAIP expression was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). Univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis revealed that TRAIP was an independent risk factor in LUAD. And the TRAIP-based nomogram further supported the prognostic role of TRAIP in LUAD. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis demonstrated that TRAIP-associated genes were mainly involved in DNA replication, cell cycle and other processes. The immune infiltration analysis indicated that TRAIP expression was tightly correlated with the infiltration of diverse immune cell types, including B cell, CD8 + T cell, neutrophil and dendritic cell. Moreover, TRAIP expression was observed to be significantly associated with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immune checkpoint molecules. In vitro experiments further confirmed knockdown of TRAIP inhibited cell migration and invasion, as well as decreasing chemokine production and inhibiting M2-like macrophage recruitment. Lastly, CMap analysis identified 10 small molecule compounds that may target TRAIP, providing potential therapies for LUAD. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our study found that TRAIP is an oncogenic gene in LUAD, which may be a potential prognostic biomarker and promising therapeutic target for LUAD.

Abstract
Single atoms anchored on stable and robust two-dimensional (2D) materials are attractive catalysts for carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. Here, 3d (Fe-Zn), 4d (Ru-Cd), and 5d (Os-Hg) transition metal-decorated Nb2S2C monolayers were systematically studied as potential single-atom catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation reactions by performing first-principles calculations. Sulfur vacancies are essential for stabilizing the transition metals anchored on the surface of defective Nb2S2C. After estimating the structure stability, the aggregation trend of the embedded metal atoms, and adsorption strength of reactants and products, Zn-decorated defective Nb2S2C is predicted to be a promising catalyst to facilitate CO oxidation through the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism with an energy barrier of only 0.25 eV. Our investigation indicates that defective carbosulfides can be promising substrates to generate efficient and low-cost single-atom catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the distribution characteristics of plasma renin concentration (PRC) in patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and its impact on diagnosis. Methods: In this retrospective case series, clinical data from 200 patients with APA (80 men and 120 women; mean age 45.6 years) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from November 2013 to January 2022 were evaluated. PRC was determined by automated chemiluminescence immunoassay. The distribution characteristics of PRC were analyzed, and 8.2 mU/L was used as the low renin cutoff to evaluate whether renin was suppressed. Results: The median PRC was 1.6 mU/L (range, 0.4-41.5 mU/L). There were 116 patients with APA with PRC of ≤2 mU/L, 41 patients with 2<PRC≤4 mU/L. PRC was not suppressed (PRC>8.2 mU/L) in 8.0% (16/200) of the patients with APA. And PRC was not suppressed in 2.5% (5/200) of the patients with APA, resulting in a primary aldosteronism negative screening outcome. Conclusions: Although most patients with APA have low PRC, there are a small number (8%) of patients whose PRC has not been fully suppressed, which can lead to missed diagnoses during primary aldosteronism screening. While primary aldosteronism is highly suspected, further investigations are required to determine the diagnosis, even if PRC is not fully suppressed at screening.

Abstract
Introduction In recent years, the potential toxicities of different pharmaceuticals toward the thyroid system have received increasing attention. In this study, we aim to evaluate the toxic effects of pazopanib and axitinib, two anti-tumor drugs with widespread clinical use, on thyroid function in the zebrafish model. Methods We measured levels of thyroid-related hormones using the commercial Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. Whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH) analysis was employed to detect target gene expression changes. Morphology of the thyroid were evaluated by using transgenic Tg (tg: EGFP) fish line under a confocal microscope. The relative mRNA expression of key genes was verified through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT‒qPCR). The size and number of the follicles was quantified whereby Hematoxylin-Eosin (H & E) staining under a light microscope. Results The results revealed that fertilized zebrafish embryos were incubated in pazopanib or axitinib for 96 hours, development and survival were significantly affected, which was accompanied by significant disturbances in thyroid endocrine system (e.g., increased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) content and decreased triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) content, as well as transcription changes of genes associated with the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. Moreover, based on whole-mount in situ hybridization staining of tg and histopathological examination of zebrafish embryos treated with pazopanib and axitinib, we observed a significantly abnormal development of thyroid follicles in the Tg (tg: EGFP) zebrafish transgenic line. Conclusion Collectively, these findings indicate that pazopanib and axitinib may have toxic effects on thyroid development and function, at least partially, by influencing the regulation of the HPT axis. Thus, we believe that the potential thyroid toxicities of pazopanib and axitinib in their clinical applications should receive greater attention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are prevalent among older adults worldwide. Early diagnosis of NDD is challenging yet crucial. Gait status has been identified as an indicator of early-stage NDD changes and can play a significant role in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Historically, gait assessment has relied on intricate but imprecise scales by trained professionals or required patients to wear additional equipment, causing discomfort. Advancements in artificial intelligence may completely transform this and offer a novel approach to gait evaluation. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to use cutting-edge machine learning techniques to offer patients a noninvasive, entirely contactless gait assessment and provide health care professionals with precise gait assessment results covering all common gait-related parameters to assist in diagnosis and rehabilitation planning. METHODS Data collection involved motion data from 41 different participants aged 25 to 85 (mean 57.51, SD 12.93) years captured in motion sequences using the Azure Kinect (Microsoft Corp; a 3D camera with a 30-Hz sampling frequency). Support vector machine (SVM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) classifiers trained using spatiotemporal features extracted from raw data were used to identify gait types in each walking frame. Gait semantics could then be obtained from the frame labels, and all the gait parameters could be calculated accordingly. For optimal generalization performance of the model, the classifiers were trained using a 10-fold cross-validation strategy. The proposed algorithm was also compared with the previous best heuristic method. Qualitative and quantitative feedback from medical staff and patients in actual medical scenarios was extensively collected for usability analysis. RESULTS The evaluations comprised 3 aspects. Regarding the classification results from the 2 classifiers, Bi-LSTM achieved an average precision, recall, and F1-score of 90.54%, 90.41%, and 90.38%, respectively, whereas these metrics were 86.99%, 86.62%, and 86.67%, respectively, for SVM. Moreover, the Bi-LSTM-based method attained 93.2% accuracy in gait segmentation evaluation (tolerance set to 2), whereas that of the SVM-based method achieved only 77.5% accuracy. For the final gait parameter calculation result, the average error rate of the heuristic method, SVM, and Bi-LSTM was 20.91% (SD 24.69%), 5.85% (SD 5.45%), and 3.17% (SD 2.75%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the Bi-LSTM-based approach can effectively support accurate gait parameter assessment, assisting medical professionals in making early diagnoses and reasonable rehabilitation plans for patients with NDD.

Abstract
Purpose The incidence of seroma and postoperative pain after Gilbert type III inguinal hernia repair is high. To reduce postoperative complications, this study investigated the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic closed hernia ring combined with a patch repair for Gilbert type III indirect inguinal hernia. Methods Through a prospective randomized controlled study, a total of 193 patients with Gilbert type III indirect inguinal hernia admitted to Nanchong Central Hospital affiliated with Chuanbei Medical College from May 2020 to December 2021 were selected and randomly divided into the inner ring closed group (85 patients) and the inner ring non-closed group (95 patients). The patients in both groups underwent laparoscopic tension-free repair of their inguinal hernias. General information such as operative time, postoperative hospital stay, and hospital cost were compared between the two groups, and the patients were followed up at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days and then 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery to compare complications such as incidence of seroma, volume of the seroma fluid, incidence of pain, and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score. Results There was no conversion to open procedures in any of the patients. The operation time of the closed group was significantly longer than that of the non-closed group (64.2 ± 12.2 vs. 55.3 ± 9.5 min, P < 0.01). The proportion of patients with postoperative pain in the two groups was 39 (46%) vs. 59 (62%), P = 0.029 on 7 days; 17 (20%) vs. 33 (35%), P = 0.028 on 14 days; and 6 (7%) vs. 22 (23%), P = 0.003 on 21 days in the postoperative closed group and was significantly lower than that in the non-closed group, while we found that the non-closed group had a higher VAS pain score than that of the closed group (2.36 ± 0.61 vs. 1.95 ± 0.71, P = 0.003 on 7 days and 2.12 ± 0.49 vs. 1.65 ± 0.49, P = 0.002 on 14 days) after surgery according to the statistical results of the VAS pain score. The incidence of postoperative seroma and the amount of seroma fluid decreased gradually in both groups, but when comparing the two groups, the proportion of cases of seroma in the closed group on 7 days [45 (53%) vs. 79 (83%), P < 0.01]; 14 days [23 (27%) vs. 43 (45%), P = 0.011]; and 21 days [10 (12%) vs. 29 (31%), P = 0.002] after the operation were significantly less than that in the non-closed group. For the comparison of the amount of seroma fluid between the groups, the seroma fluid volume in the non-closed group was greater than that in the closed group (34.48 ± 20.40 vs. 43.87 ± 16.40 ml, P = 0.006, 7 days) and (21.79 ± 8.42 vs. 30.74 ± 10.39 ml, P = 0.002, 14 days) after surgery. There were no differences in the length of stay, total hospital costs, or postoperative complications (urinary retention, intestinal obstruction, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, and infection) between the two groups, and the differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The postoperative follow-up period was 3-20 months, and no chronic pain or recurrence occurred during the postoperative follow-up period in either group. Conclusions Closure of the hernia ring is safe and effective for laparoscopic hernia repair for Gilbert type III inguinal hernia, and it significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative seroma and further reduces the postoperative pain without increasing the risk of postoperative infection and recurrence.

Abstract
Anti-PD-1 monotherapy had limited clinical efficacy in relapsed/refractory (r/r) AML patients with higher PD-1 and PD-L1 expression. Hence, we investigated the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor with DNA hypomethylating agent (HMA) + CAG regimen in patients who had failed prior AML therapy. In this phase 2, single-arm study, r/r AML patients received azacitidine or decitabine plus CAG regimen with tislelizumab. Primary endpoints were efficacy (objective response rate [ORR]) and safety. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS) and duration of response (DOR). Statistical analyses were performed using Stata 14.0 and SPSS 20.0 software where P < 0.05 denoted significance. Twenty-seven patients were enrolled patients and completed 1 cycle, and 14 (51.9%) and 4 (14.8%) patients completed 2 and 3 cycles, respectively. ORR was 63% (14: complete remission [CR]/CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi], 3: partial remission (PR), 10: no response [NR]). Median OS (mOS) and EFS were 9.7 and 9.2 months, respectively. With a median follow-up of 8.2 months (1.1-26.9), the mOS was not reached in responders (CR/CRi/PR) while it was 2.4 months (0.0-5.4) in nonresponders (P = 0.002). Grade 2-3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were observed in 4 (14.8%) patients and 3 nonresponders died of lung infection after treatment. Tislelizumab + HMA + CAG regimen showed improved outcomes in r/r AML patients with lower pretherapy leukemia burden. irAEs were mild and low-grade and higher pretherapy bone marrow CD4+ CD127+ PD-1+ T cells might serve as a predictor of treatment response.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04541277.

Abstract
Roxadustat has been associated with the efficacy and safety in patients with chronic kidney disease-related anemia. However, the relationship between roxadustat blood concentration and clinical efficacy is lacking. To explore of the correlation between clinical efficacy and blood concentration of roxadustat in patients with renal anemia of chronic kidney diseases, so as to provide reference for rational clinical drug use. A total of 46 patients were selected with a diagnosis of renal anemia who were prescribed roxadustat at the department of nephrology of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2019 to March 2020. The roxadustat blood concentration was determined at 12 weeks of treatment, according to the cumulative response rate, patients were divided into the response group and the nonresponse group, and the relationship between roxadustat blood concentration and treatment effect was analyzed. We also explored the correlation between various factors and the blood concentration. The patients in the response group had higher roxadustat blood concentrations than the nonresponse group (P < .05), and there was no correlation between blood concentration and clinical characteristics such as age, gender, and dosage (P > .05). The blood concentration of roxadustat was correlated with clinical efficacy. The higher the blood concentration, the better the clinical efficacy, meaning it might be a predictor of efficacy.

Abstract
The Ni-rich layered cathode material LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) with high specific capacity and acceptable rate performance is one of the key cathode materials for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Coprecipitation, the widely utilized method in the precursor synthesis of NCM811 materials, however, suffers long synthetic processes and challenges in uniform element distribution. The spray pyrolysis method is able to prepare oxide precursors in seconds where all transition-metal elements are well distributed, but the difficulty of lithium distribution will also arise when the lithium salts are added in the subsequent sintering process. Herein, a fresh one-step spray pyrolysis approach is proposed for preparing high-performance NCM811 cathode materials by synthesizing lithium-contained precursors in which all elements are well distributed at a molecular level. The precursors with folded morphology and exceptional uniformity are successfully obtained at a low pyrolysis temperature of 300 °C by an acetate system. Furthermore, the final products commendably inherit the folded morphology of the precursors and exhibit excellent cyclic retentions of 94.6% and 88.8% after 100 and 200 cycles at 1 C (1 C = 200 mA g-1), respectively.

Abstract
In recent years, carbon-based CsPbI2 Br perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted more attention due to their low cost and good stability. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of carbon-based CsPbI2 Br PSCs is still no more than 16%, because of the defects in CsPbI2 Br or at the interface with the electron transport layer (ETL), as well as the energy level mismatch, which lead to the loss of energy, thus limiting PCE values. Herein, a series of cadmium halides are introduced, including CdCl2 , CdBr2 and CdI2 for dual direction thermal diffusion treatment. Some Cd2+ ions thermally diffuse downward to passivate the defects inside or on the surface of SnO2 ETL. Meanwhile, the energy level structure of SnO2 ETL is adjusted, which is in favor of the transfer of electron carriers and blocking holes. On the other hand, part of Cd2+ and Cl- ions thermally diffuse upward into the CsPbI2 Br lattice to passivate crystal defects. Through dual direction thermal diffusion treatment by CdCl2 , CdI2 and CdBr2 , the performance of devices has been significantly improved, and their PCE has been increased from 13.01% of the original device to 14.47%, 14.31%, and 13.46%, respectively. According to existing reports, 14.47% is one of the highest PCE of carbon-based CsPbI2 Br PSCs with SnO2 ETLs.

Abstract
Objective UAV-based multispectral detection and identification technology for ground injured human targets, is a novel and promising unmanned technology for public health and safety IoT applications, such as outdoor lost injured searching and battlefield casualty searching, and our previous research has demonstrated its feasibility. However, in practical applications, the searched human target always exhibits low target-background contrast relative to the vast and diverse surrounding environment, and the ground environment also shifts randomly during the UAV cruise process. These two key factors make it difficult to achieve highly robust, stable, and accurate recognition performance under the cross-scene situation. Methods This paper proposes a cross-scene multi-domain feature joint optimization (CMFJO) for cross-scene outdoor static human target recognition. Results In the experiments, we first investigated the impact severity of the cross-scene problem and the necessity to solve it by designing 3 typical single-scene experiments. Experimental results show that although a single-scene model holds good recognition capability for its scenes (96.35% in desert scenes, 99.81% in woodland scenes, and 97.39% in urban scenes), its recognition performance for other scenes deteriorates sharply (below 75% overall) after scene changes. On the other hand, the proposed CMFJO method was also validated using the same cross-scene feature dataset. The recognition results for both individual scene and composite scene show that this method could achieve an average classification accuracy of 92.55% under cross-scene situation. Discussion This study first tried to construct an excellent cross-scene recognition model for the human target recognition, named CMFJO method, which is based on multispectral multi-domain feature vectors with scenario-independent, stable and efficient target recognition capability. It will significantly improve the accuracy and usability of UAV-based multispectral technology method for outdoor injured human target search in practical applications and provide a powerful supporting technology for public safety and health.

Abstract
As a hallmark characteristic of schizophrenia, abnormal perception of time is thought to arise from cognitive impairment; however, the absence of translational models indexing this pathological relationship creates barriers to understanding the functional and biological bases of timing impairments. Here, we investigate the relationship between timing and cognition using the maternal immune activation (MIA) rat model of schizophrenia. We additionally investigate the role of prefrontal cortex L-arginine metabolism in these processes via high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Results revealed that MIA rats exhibit greater underestimation of interval durations (2-8 s); greater underestimation corresponded with declines in sustained attention capacity. Working memory impairments were not found to contribute to timing deficits. These findings represent the first direct identification of a timing-attention relationship within rodents and are discussed with respect to the dopamine hypothesis of temporal pace. We also found that MIA exposure altered aspects of arginine metabolism as observed in schizophrenia, and we present preliminary evidence suggesting that these changes have functional consequences for cognition. These findings support the MIA rat model as a valuable tool for future investigations exploring the biological instantiation of interrelated timing and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Photodetectors and sensors have a prominent role in our lives and cover a wide range of applications, including intelligent systems and the detection of harmful and toxic elements. Although there have been several studies in this direction, their practical applications have been hindered by slow response and low responsiveness. To overcome these problems, we have presented here a self-powered (photoelectrochemical, PEC), ultrasensitive, and ultrafast photodetector platform. For this purpose, a novel few-layered palladium-phosphorus-sulfur (PdPS) was fabricated by shear exfoliation for effective photodetection as a practical assessment. The characterization of this self-powered broadband photodetector demonstrated superior responsivity and specific detectivity in the order of 33 mA W-1 and 9.87 × 1010 cm Hz1/2 W-1, respectively. The PEC photodetector also exhibits a broadband photodetection capability ranging from UV to IR spectrum, with the ultrafast response (∼40 ms) and recovery time (∼50 ms). In addition, the novel few-layered PdPS showed superior sensing ability to organic vapors with ultrafast response and a recovery time of less than 1 s. Finally, the photocatalytic activity in the form of hydrogen evolution reaction was explored due to the suitable band alignment and pronounced light absorption capability. The self-powered sensing platforms and superior catalytic activity will pave the way for practical applications in efficient future devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and is characterized by a substantial reduction of neuroplasticity. Our previous work demonstrated that neurons involved in memory function may lose plasticity because of decreased protein levels of polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) in the entorhinal cortex (EC) of the human AD brain, but the cause of this decrease is unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate genes involved in PSA-NCAM regulation which may underlie its decrease in the AD EC. METHODS We subjected neurologically normal and AD human EC sections to multiplexed fluorescent in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to investigate genes involved in PSA-NCAM regulation. Gene expression changes were sought to be validated in both human tissue and a mouse model of AD. RESULTS In the AD EC, a cell population expressing a high level of CALB2 mRNA and a cell population expressing a high level of PST mRNA were both decreased. CALB2 mRNA and protein were not decreased globally, indicating that the decrease in CALB2 was specific to a sub-population of cells. A significant decrease in PST mRNA expression was observed with single-plex in situ hybridization in middle temporal gyrus tissue microarray cores from AD patients, which negatively correlated with tau pathology, hinting at global loss in PST expression across the AD brain. No significant differences in PSA-NCAM or PST protein expression were observed in the MAPT P301S mouse brain at 9 months of age. CONCLUSION We conclude that PSA-NCAM dysregulation may cause subsequent loss of structural plasticity in AD, and this may result from a loss of PST mRNA expression. Due PSTs involvement in structural plasticity, intervention for AD may be possible by targeting this disrupted plasticity pathway.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a strong fluorescent tetradentate pyridine ligand, 3,6,11,12-tetra(pyridin-4-yl)dibenzo[a,c]phenazine (TPDP), by covalently grafting pyridyl to fluorescent dye dbpz, which can react with the Fe(NCX)2 (X = S and Se) unit, obtaining two new 2D [4 × 4] square-grid compounds, namely, {FeII(TPDP)2(SCN)2·CHCl3·4CH3OH}n (1) and {[FeII(TPDP)2(SeCN)2]·CH2Cl2·4CH3OH}n (2). Both of them show expected one-step spin-crossover (SCO) properties, and complex 2vacuum exhibits a combination of the SCO phenomenon and fluorescence in a synergetic way. The energy transfer mechanism of 2vacuum is verified by the theoretical calculations and experimental results. This study provides an effective strategy to synthesize large conjugated fluorescent ligands using dyes to further form SCO-luminescent bifunctional materials.

Abstract
Shale rocks have been widely investigated to evaluate the productivity of oil/gas. The high temperature generated by the explosive fracturing to stimulate the gas reservoir has a significant impact on the chemical-mechanical properties of shale rocks. Pioneering works have been carried out at temperatures below 500 °C, but little has been done to quantify the correlation between the chemical and mechanical properties of shale at temperatures above 500 °C. Therefore, an experimental study on the effect of temperature on the chemical-mechanical properties of shale rocks is presented in this paper. The temperatures used in our experiments are between 0 and 800 °C. Results indicate that there exist strong chemical reactions leading to a big reduction in the sample's weight and mechanical strength for a temperature over 500 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis data demonstrates that the weight of shale powders has little change below 400 °C and largely decreases after 600 °C. It shows that the chemical reaction rate corresponding to shale compositions varies with temperature. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared are integrated to quantify the occurrence of contained reactions including the decomposition of kerogen, carbonates, and quartz transition. This can provide a temperature range for all possible reactions. Changes in the compositional information of shale samples have been proven to significantly influence the mechanical properties. A 25% decrease in dynamic Young's modulus emerges as the temperature approaches 700 °C. As the brittle minerals, for instance, carbonates, decrease with temperature, a brittle-ductile transition happens in shale. This work provides very meaningful results different from that at low temperatures to help people better understand the effects of high temperatures in many fields, such as explosive fracturing and radioactive waste disposal.

Abstract
Recently, the potential toxic effects of various pharmaceuticals on the thyroid endocrine system have raised considerable concerns. In this study, we evaluated the adverse effects of sorafenib and sunitinib, two widely used anti-tumor drugs, on the developmental toxicities and thyroid endocrine disruption by using zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Zebrafish embryos/larvae were exposed to different contentions (0, 10, 50 and 100 nM) of sorafenib and sunitinib for 96 hpf. The results revealed that waterborne exposure to sorafenib and sunitinib exhibited remarkable toxic effects on the survival and development in zebrafish embryos/larvae, which was accompanied by obvious disturbances of thyroid endocrine system (e.g., decreased T3 and T4 content, increased TSH content) and genes' transcription changes within the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. In addition, we verified a strikingly abnormal thyroid gland organogenesis in zebrafish larvae in response to sorafenib and sunitinib, by assessing the development of thyroid follicles using the WISH staining of tg, the Tg (tg:GFP) zebrafish transgenic line, and histopathological analysis. Taken together, our results indicated sorafenib and sunitinib exposure could induce obvious developmental toxicities and thyroid function disruption in zebrafish embryos/larvae, which might involve a regulatory mechanism, at least in part, by destroying the thyroid follicle structure, and by disturbing the balance of the HPT axis.

Abstract
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor with a highly aggressive and metastatic nature. Ultrasound remains a routine monitoring tool for screening, treatment and post-treatment recheck of HCC. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the role of ultrasound therapy and related genes in prognosis prediction and clinical diagnosis and treatment of HCC. Methods: Gene co-expression networks were developed utilizing the R package WGCNA as per the expression profiles and clinical features of TCGA HCC samples, key modules were identified by the correlation coefficients between clinical features and modules, and hub genes of modules were determined as per the GS and MM values. Ultrasound treatment differential expression genes were identified using R package limma, and univariate Cox analysis was conducted on the intersection genes of ultrasound differential expression genes and hub genes of key HCC modules to screen the signatures linked with HCC prognosis and construct a risk model. The median risk score was used as the threshold point to classify tumor samples into high- and low-risk groups, and the R package IOBR was used to assess the proportion of immune cells in high- and low-risk groups, R package maftools to assess the genomic mutation differences in high- and low-risk groups, R package GSVA’s ssgsea algorithm to assess the HALLMARK pathway enrichment analysis, and R package pRRophetic to analyze drug sensitivity in patients with HCC. Results: WGCNA analysis based on the expression profiles and clinical data of the TCGA LIHC cohort identified three key modules with two major clinical features associated with HCC. The intersection of ultrasound-related differential genes and module hub genes was selected for univariate Cox analysis to identify prognostic factors significantly associated with HCC, and a risk score model consisting of six signatures was finally developed to analyze the prognosis of individuals with HCC. The risk model showed strength in the training set, overall set, and external validation set. The percentage of immune cell infiltration, genomic mutations, pathway enrichment scores, and chemotherapy drug resistance were significantly different between high- and low-risk groups according to the risk scores. Expression of model genes correlated with tumor immune microenvironment and clinical tumor characteristics while generally differentially expressed in pan-cancer tumor and healthy samples. In the immunotherapy dataset, patients in the high-risk group had a worse prognosis with immunotherapy, indicating that subjects in the low-risk group are more responsive to immunotherapy. Conclusion: The 6-gene signature constructed by ultrasound treatment of HCC combined with WGCNA analysis can be used for prognosis prediction of HCC patients and may become a marker for immune response.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been considered to be one of the most common chronic liver diseases. However, no validated pharmacological therapies have been officially proved in clinic due to its complex pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to examine the protective effects of Corilagin (referred to Cori) against NAFLD in mice under a high fat diet (HFD) condition. Mice were fed either a normal control diet (NCD) or HFD with or without Cori (5 or 10 mg/kg body weight) for 15 weeks. In our results, Cori treatment significantly attenuated HFD-induced hepatic steatosis, high NAFLD activity score (NAD) and liver injury. Consistently, Cori treatment remarkably alleviated HFD-induced hepatic lipid accumulation (e.g., triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) contents in liver), and improved plasma lipid concentrations (e.g., plasma TG, TC, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c)). Moreover, Cori treatment ameliorated NAFLD associated metabolic disorders such as glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in HFD-fed mice. Additionally, Cori treatment dramatically changed HFD-induced liver gene expression profiles, and identified overlapped differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between NCD vs. HFD group and HFD vs. HCR (high fat diet plus treatment with Cori) group. With these DEGs, we observed a marked enrichment of Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, which were closely associated with the metabolic balance in liver. Particularly, we found several potential hub proteins against NAFLD development with analyses of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and qPCR assays. Collectively, our results revealed the important protective effects of Cori against the progress of NAFLD, which was probably mediated through improving dysregulated lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in HFD-fed mice. Additionally, Cori-dependent overlapped DEGs might serve as a featured NAFLD-associated gene expression signature for the diagnosis, treatment, as well as drug discovery and development of NAFLD in the near future.

Abstract
UFMylation is a ubiquitin-like modification which attaches the ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 to target proteins. To date, only a few UFMylation targets have been identified. In the current study, we demonstrated that P4HB is a new target protein for UFMylation and it can be UFMylated at three lysine residues in the form of mono-UFMylation. P4HB has oxidoreductase, chaperone and isomerase effects. It presents in the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and cytosol. Next, we generated a stable HepG2 cell line, the hepatocellular cells, with defective P4HB UFMylation. Our data show that P4HB UFMylation defect promotes P4HB protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Defective P4HB UFMylation causes mitochondrial function damage, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum stress in HepG2 cells. These effects are more obvious when treating HepG2 cells with palmitic acid, which is frequently used as one of the cell models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Our results identify UFMylation as a key post-translational modification for the maintenance of P4HB stability and biological functions in HepG2 cells, and point to P4HB UFMylation as a potential direction in the study of NAFLD.

Abstract
Increasing evidence implicates endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Nitric oxide (NO) derived from endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is essential in maintaining cerebrovascular function and can modulate the production and clearance of amyloid beta (Aβ). APPswe/PSdE1 (APP/PS1) mice display age-related Aβ accumulation and memory deficits. In order to make the model more clinically relevant with an element of endothelial dysfunction, we generated APP/PS1/eNOS+/− mice by crossing complete eNOS deficient (eNOS−/−) mice and APP/PS1 mice. APP/PS1/eNOS+/− mice at 8 months of age displayed a more severe spatial working memory deficit relative to age-matched APP/PS1 mice. Moreover, immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting revealed significantly increased Aβ plaque load in the brains of APP/PS1/eNOS+/− mice, concomitant with upregulated BACE-1 (hence increased Aβ production), downregulated insulin-degrading enzyme (hence reduced Aβ clearance) and increased immunoreactivity and expression of microglia. The present study, for the first time, demonstrated that partial eNOS deficiency exacerbated behavioral dysfunction, Aβ brain deposition, and microglial pathology in APP/PS1 mice, further implicating endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of AD. The present findings also provide the scientific basis for developing preventive and/or therapeutic strategies by targeting endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
A dinuclear complex with the formula Dy2L2(H2L)Cl2(EtOH)2 (Dy2) has been synthesized by reacting DyCl3·H2O with a ligand H2L (H2L = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneimine)) using ethanol as the solvent. Its crystal structure can be viewed as a dimer of two Dy(III) fragments, where each Dy(III) site shows a N2O6Cl coordination sphere with a pentagonal bipyramid geometry (D5h). Magnetic measurements reveal that Dy2 behaves as a single-ion magnet (SIM) under a zero field. When the field is applied, the ac magnetic susceptibilities show double and triple peaks under high (≥600 Oe) and low (<600 Oe) dc fields, respectively. In contrast to the common double relaxation pathways in SIMs, such multiple and intricate relaxation pathways have not been reported yet in the previous literature. In this work, by experimental analysis of the ac signals, we attribute the three slow relaxation pathways to quantum tunnelling of magnetization (QTM), intermolecular dipole-dipole interaction and spin reversal, respectively. In addition, ab initio calculations are used to elucidate the magnetic behaviours of Dy2. Overall, our work indicates that the interpretation of the relaxation process using double relaxation pathways is incomplete and difficult in previously reported literature.
