Abstract
OBJECTIVE To delineate the efficacy and safety profile of hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion (HFR) for uremic toxin removal in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). METHODS Patients who have been on MHD for a period of at least 3 months were enrolled. Each subject underwent one HFR and one hemodiafiltration (HDF) treatment. Blood samples were collected before and after a single HFR or HDF treatment to test uremic toxin levels and to calculate clearance rate. The primary efficacy endpoint was to compare uremic toxin levels of indoxyl sulfate (IS), λ-free light chains (λFLC), and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) before and after HFR treatment. Secondary efficacy endpoints was to compare the levels of urea, interleukin-6 (IL-6), P-cresol, chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), leptin (LEP), hippuric acid (HPA), trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) before and after HFR treatment. The study also undertook a comparative analysis of uremic toxin clearance between a single HFR and HDF treatment. Meanwhile, the lever of serum albumin and branched-chain amino acids before and after a single HFR or HDF treatment were compared. In terms of safety, the study was meticulous in recording vital signs and the incidence of adverse events throughout its duration. RESULTS The study enrolled 20 patients. After a single HFR treatment, levels of IS, λFLC, β2-MG, IL-6, P-cresol, YKL-40, LEP, HPA, TMAO, ADMA, TNF-α, and FGF23 significantly decreased (p < 0.001 for all). The clearance rates of λFLC, β2-MG, IL-6, LEP, and TNF-α were significantly higher in HFR compared to HDF (p values: 0.036, 0.042, 0.041, 0.019, and 0.036, respectively). Compared with pre-HFR and post-HFR treatment, levels of serum albumin, valine, and isoleucine showed no significant difference (p > 0.05), while post-HDF, levels of serum albumin significantly decreased (p = 0.000). CONCLUSION HFR treatment effectively eliminates uremic toxins from the bloodstream of patients undergoing MHD, especially protein-bound toxins and large middle-molecule toxins. Additionally, it retains essential physiological compounds like albumin and branched-chain amino acids, underscoring its commendable safety profile.

Abstract
The relative free energy perturbation (RFEP) calculation is one of the most theoretically sound computational chemistry approaches for the binding affinity prediction. However, its application is often hindered by the complexity of the calculation choices and the requirement of expertise in the field. Improper lambda scheme of RFEP may result in deviations from an accurate description of the perturbation process and is prone to erroneous affinity predictions. To address such challenges, an automated adaptive lambda method is proposed where the adaptive lambda schemes are obtained through a split-and-merge algorithm based on the pilot runs. The newly established workflow along with a series of improvements to the perturbation settings increases the consistency of the RFEP calculation results. Comparing the pilot and adaptive lambda schemes, the latter demonstrated improvements in convergence and reproducibility and lowered the mean unsigned error and the root-mean-square error. Overall, the adaptive lambda method is a reliable and robust choice to predict small molecule relative binding free energy and can be capitalized to benefit routine RFEP calculations for drug discovery projects.

Abstract
Common clinical rhinitis is characterized by different types of cases and class imbalance. Its prediction belongs to multiple output classification. Low recognition rate and poor generalization performance often occur for minority class. Therefore, we propose a novel integrated classification model, ARF-OOBEE, which transforms the multi-output classification to multi-label classification and multi-class classification. The multi-label classifier automatically adjusts the number and depth of integrated forest learners according to the imbalance ratio of single class label in a subset. It can effectively reduce the impact of class imbalance on classification and improve prediction performance of both majority or minority class concurrently. Also, we build a multi-class classification based on out-of-bag Extra-Tree to accomplish finer classification for the predicted labels. In addition, we calculate the feature importance for rhinitis on the grounds of the purity of nodes in decision-making tree inside Random Forest and study the correlation between rhinitis features. We conduct 12 folds cross-validation experiments on 461 cases of clinical rhinitis. The outcomes show that the evaluation indicators of ARF-OOBEE, such as Sensitivity, Specificity, Accuracy, F1-Score, AUC, and G-Mean are 74.9%,86.5%,92.0%,78.3%,95.3%, and 79.9%, respectively. In comparison to the other methods, ARF-OOBEE has better evaluation indicator and is more effective for the early clinical diagnosis of rhinitis.

Abstract
This study seeks to investigate the therapeutic effects of Si Miao San (SMS) on hyperuricemia and its underlying mechanisms, particularly focusing on the role of intestinal flora. The key components of SMS were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). To establish a rat model of hyperuricemia, an intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate was performed, followed by oral administration of various concentrations of SMS. The study evaluated the status of hyperuricemia, renal pathology, xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, and intestinal flora. Utilizing HPLC, we identified five active components of SMS. Following SMS intervention, there was a significant reduction in serum levels of uric acid (UA), blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine, accompanied by an increase in urine UA levels in rats with hyperuricemia. Distinct pathological injuries were evident in the renal tissues of hyperuricemic rats, and these were partially alleviated following SMS intervention. Moreover, SMS exhibited a dose-dependent reduction in XO activity both in the serum and hepatic tissues. Notably, SMS contributed to an enhancement in the diversity of intestinal flora in hyperuricemic rats. The intervention of SMS resulted in a reduction in the abundance of certain bacterial species, including Parabacteroides johnsonii, Corynebacterium urealyticum, and Burkholderiales bacterium. This suggests that SMS may exert anti-hyperuricemia effects, potentially by modulating the composition of intestinal flora.

Abstract
AIM To assess changes in the susceptibility of the caudate nucleus (CN), putamen, and globus pallidus (GP) in patients with neurological and hepatic Wilson's disease (WD) by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The brain MRI images of 33 patients diagnosed with WD and 20 age-matched controls were analysed retrospectively. All participants underwent brain T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and QSM imaging using a 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. QSM maps were evaluated with the STISuite toolbox. The quantitative susceptibility levels of the CN, putamen, and GP were analysed using region of interest analysis on QSM maps. Differences among neurological WD patients, hepatic patients, and controls were determined. RESULTS Susceptibility levels were significantly higher for all examined structures (CN, putamen and GP) in patients with neurological WD compared with controls (all p<0.05) and hepatic WD patients (all p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in susceptibility levels between patients with hepatic WD and controls (all p>0.05). CONCLUSION The QSM technique is a valuable tool for detecting changes in brain susceptibility in WD patients, indicating abnormal metal deposition. Notably, the current findings suggest that neurological WD patients exhibit more severe susceptibility changes compared with hepatic WD patients. Therefore, QSM can be utilised as a complementary method to detect brain injury in WD patients.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is the critical stage in the development of chronic liver disease (CLD), from simple injury to irreversible cirrhosis. Timely detection and intervention of liver fibrosis are crucial for preventing CLD from progressing into a fatal condition. Herein, we developed iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (IONPs) and ferulic acid (FA) coencapsulated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs), followed by surface modification with cRGD peptides (cRGD-PLGA/IOFA) for integrin-targeted clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-traceable treatment of liver fibrosis. The cRGD peptide linked on the surface of the PLGA/IOFA NPs could specifically bind to the overexpressed integrin αvβ3 on activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in the fibrotic liver, enabling the high-sensitive clinical MR imaging (3 T) and precise staging of liver fibrosis. The FA encapsulated in cRGD-PLGA/IOFA showed excellent efficacy in reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting the activation of HSCs through the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad pathway. Notably, the IONPs encapsulated in cRGD-PLGA/IOFA NPs could alleviate liver fibrosis by regulating hepatic macrophages through the NF-κB pathway, lowering the proportion of Ly6Chigh/CD86+, and degrading collagen fibers. The FA and IONPs in the cRGD-PLGA/IOFA produced a synergistic enhancement effect on collagen degradation, which was more effective than the IONPs treatment alone. This study demonstrates that cRGD-PLGA/IOFA NPs could effectively relieve liver fibrosis by acting on macrophages and HSCs and provide a new strategy for the clinical MRI-traceable treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a wide range of public health, economic, social, and political shocks, setting in motion life events that reverberated to affect individuals' mental health. Moving beyond a checklist approach, this study drew on individuals' own words to identify both conventional and novel sources of stress during COVID-19 and examine the role of stressful life events in producing gender disparities in depressive symptoms. Drawing on a 2021 U.S. nationally representative survey, we coded text responses to an open-ended question on stressful life events and conducted descriptive and regression analyses (n = 1733). The analyses revealed three key findings. First, men were more likely to report having experienced no stressful life events or else mention politics as a source of stress. Women, by comparison, were more likely to report the following as stressful-inability to socialize, paid work, care work, health, or the death of loved ones. Second, for both women and men, respondents reporting no stressful life events had the lowest, and those reporting finances as the most stressful life event had the highest, depressive symptoms. Third, women had higher depressive symptoms than men, and mediation analysis showed that stressful life events explained approximately a third of the gender gap in depressive symptoms. The findings indicate that policies attending to people's financial stress are important for mitigating mental health risks in turbulent times. Interventions that reduce women's exposure to stressful life events are also crucial to bridging gender disparities in mental health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay in detection of Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae in freshwater fish samples, so as to provide insights into standardization and field application of this assay. METHODS Wild freshwater fish samples were collected in the rivers of administrative villages where C. sinensis-infected residents lived in Jiangyan District, Xinghua County and Taixing County of Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province from June to September 2022. Genomic DNA was extracted from six freshwater fish specimens (5 g each) containing 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 C. sinensis metacercariae for fluorescent RAA assay, and the diagnostic sensitivity was evaluated. Fluorescent RAA assay was performed with genomic DNA from C. sinensis, Metorchis orientalis, Haplorchis pumilio and Centrocestus formosanus metacercariae as templates to evaluate its cross-reactions. In addition, the detection of fluorescent RAA assay and direct compression method for C. sinensis metacercariae was compared in field-collected freshwater fish samples. RESULTS Positive amplification was found in fresh-water fish specimens containing different numbers of C. sinensis metacercariae, and fluorescent RAA assay was effective to detect one C. sinensis metacercaria in 5 g freshwater fish specimens within 20 min. Fluorescent RAA assay tested negative for DNA from M. orientalis, H. pumilio and C. formosanus metacercariae. Fluorescent RAA assay and direct compression method showed 5.36% (93/1 735) and 2.88% (50/1 735) detection rates for C. sinensis metacercariae in 1 735 field-collected freshwater fish samples, with a statistically significant difference seen (χ2 = 478.150, P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the detection of C. sinensis metacercariae in different species of freshwater fish by both the direct compression method (χ2 = 11.20, P < 0.05) and fluorescent RAA assay (χ2 = 20.26, P < 0.001), and the detection of C. sinensis metacercariae was higher in Pseudorasbora parva than in other fish species by both the direct compression method and fluorescent RAA assay (both P values < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Fluorescent RAA assay has a high sensitivity for detection of C. sinensis metacercariae in freshwater fish samples, and has no cross-reactions with M. orientalis, H. pumilio or C. formosanus metacercariae. Fluorescent RAA assay shows a higher accuracy for detection of C. sinensis infections in field-collected freshwater fish than the direct compression method.

Abstract
In early 2020, a COVID-19 outbreak occurred in Hubei Province of China. Exploiting the geographic concentration of China's COVID-19 cases in Hubei (the initial epicenter), we compare Hubei and non-Hubei residents to examine the medium-term effect of exposure to the COVID-19 outbreak on mental well-being. We examine flourishing-a comprehensive assessment of well-being that is not merely the absence of mental illness-and investigate a broad set of psychosocial and economic mediators that may link initial outbreak exposure to subsequent flourishing. We use ordinary least squares regression models to analyze national panel data collected in early 2020 and late 2021 (N = 3,169). Results show that flourishing scores remain lower for Hubei than non-Hubei residents almost two years following the early 2020 COVID-19 outbreak. Mediation analysis reveals that Hubei residents' lower incidences of job promotion and lower sense of control are the two most important mediators accounting for their lower flourishing relative to non-Hubei residents. Combined, this study provides the first evidence of the medium-term psychological vulnerability borne by individuals who lived in the initial epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings on the intervening mechanisms shed light on the policy initiatives needed for post-pandemic mental well-being recovery in China and other countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is characterized by impaired learning and memory. 6 h duration isoflurane anesthesia is an important factor to induce POCD, and the dysfunction of ryanodine receptor (RyR) in the hippocampus may be involved in this process. We investigated the expression of RyR3 in the hippocampus of mice after 6-h duration isoflurane anesthesia, as well as the improvement of RyR receptor agonist caffeine on POCD mice, while attempting to identify the underlying molecular mechanism. MATERIALS We constructed a POCD model using 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice that were exposed to 6-h duration isoflurane. Prior to the three-day cognitive behavioral experiment, RyR agonist caffeine were injected. Fear conditioning and location memory tests were used in behavioral studies. We also exposed the mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro-2a (N2A) to 6-h duration isoflurane exposure to simulate the conditions of in vivo cognitive dysfunction. We administered ryanodine receptor agonist (caffeine) and inhibitor (ryanodine) to N2a cells. Following that, we performed a series of bioinformatics analysis to discover proteins that are involved in the development of cognitive dysfunction. Rt-PCR and Western blot were used to assess mRNA level and protein expression. RESULTS 6-h duration isoflurane anesthesia induced cognitive dysfunction and increased RyR3 mRNA levels in hippocampus. The mRNA levels of RyR3 in cultured N2a cells after anesthesia were comparable to those in vivo, and the RyR agonist caffeine corrected the expression of some cognitive-related phenotypic proteins that were disturbed after anesthesia. Intraperitoneal injection of RyR agonist caffeine can improve cognitive function after isoflurane anesthesia in mice, and bioinformatics analyses suggest that CaMKⅣ may be involved in the molecular mechanism. CONCLUSION Ryanodine receptor agonist caffeine may improve cognitive dysfunction in mice after isoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract
Introduction Obesity has detrimental influences on women reproductive health. There is little experience in optimizing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocols to treat Chinese obese patients who are undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) therapy. Methods The clinical outcome differences were retrospectively analyzed among obese patients who received gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a), GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant), micro dose GnRH-a (mGnRH-a) and GnRH-a long protocol in IVF-ET cycle at Chengdu Jinjiang Hospital for Women's and Children's Health from January 2014 to December 2019. Results The transplantation rate of the GnRH-a long protocol group (59.1%) was higher than that of the GnRH-ant (25.9%) and mGnRH-a (36.7%) groups. The total live birth rate of the GnRH-a long protocol group (46.2%) was higher than that of the GnRH-a group (25.9%) and GnRH-ant group (40.3%). The total number of frozen embryos in the GnRH-ant group was higher than in the other groups (P < 0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, the logistic regression analysis showed that the GnRH-a long protocol group had higher probabilities of biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and live birth than the GnRH-a protocol group. The Gn dose in the mGnRH-a group was higher than the other three groups. Whether single or twin, there were similar neonatal outcomes among the four groups including premature birth rate, Apgar score, newborn weight, and length. Conclusion For young obese patients undergoing IVF-ET, the GnRH-a long protocol for COH gives better pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
1. Fusarium tritici widely exists in a variety of grain feeds. The T-2 toxin is the main hazardous component produced by Fusarium tritici, making a serious hazard to poultry industry. Morin, belonging to the flavonoid family, can be extracted from mulberry plants and possesses anticancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, but whether morin protects chicks with T-2 toxin poisoning remains unclear. This experiment firstly established a chick model of T-2 toxin poisoning and then investigated the protective effects and mechanism of morin against T-2 toxin in chicks.2. The function of liver and kidney was measured by corresponding alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre) and uric acid (UA) kits. Histopathological changes were observed by haematoxylin-eosin staining. The status of oxidative stress was measured by MDA, SOD, CAT, GSH and GSH-PX kits. The mRNA levels of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-11 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Heterophil extracellular trap (HET) release was analysed by immunofluorescence and fluorescence microplate.3. The model with T-2 toxin poisoning in chicks was successfully established. Morin significantly decreased T-2 toxin-induced ALT, AST, ALP, BUN, Cre and UA, and improved T-2 toxin-induced liver cell rupture, liver cord disorder and kidney interstitial oedema. Oxidative stress analysis showed that morin ameliorated T-2 toxin-induced damage by reducing malondialdehyde (MDA), increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX). The qRT-PCR analysis showed that morin reduced T-2 toxin-induced mRNA expressions of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-11. Moreover, morin significantly reduced the release of T-2 toxin-induced HET in vitro and in vivo.4. Morin can protect chicks from T-2 toxin poisoning by decreasing HETs, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, which make it a useful compound against T-2 toxin poisoning in poultry feed.

Abstract
Compared with traditional medical methods, gene therapy and photodynamic therapy are the new fields of cancer treatment, and they more accurately and effectively obtain preferable therapeutic effects. In this study, a chemotherapy drug-free nanotherapeutic system based on ZIF-90 encapsulated with Ce6-G3139 and Ce6-DNAzyme for gene and photodynamic therapies was constructed. Once entering the cancer cell, the therapy system will decompose and release Zn2+, Ce6-G3139, and Ce6-DNAzyme in the acidic environment. On the one hand, G3139 binds to the antiapoptotic gene BCL-2 in tumor cells and downregulates related proteins to inhibit tumor proliferation. On the other hand, Zn2+ produced by the decomposition of ZIF-90 can be used as a cofactor to activate the cleavage activity of DNAzyme to initiate gene therapy. Proliferation and metastasis of tumors were further inhibited by DNAzyme, targeting and cutting the gene of human early growth factor-1 (EGR-1). In addition, the photosensitizer Ce6 carried by the nucleic acid will produce cytotoxic ROS to kill cancer cells after irradiation. The results of this study demonstrated that the designed nanoplatform, which synergistically combines gene and photodynamic therapies, has shown great potential for cancer treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the trends in the disease burden of schistosomiasis worldwide and in China, and Zimbabwe from 1990 to 2019, so as to provide insights into the formulation of the schistosomiasis control strategy in Zimbabwe. METHODS Based on Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) data sources, the age-standardized prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rate of schistosomiasis were compared in the world, China, and Zimbabwe and the trends in the disease burden of schistosomiasis from 1990 to 2019 were investigated using Joinpoint regression analysis. In addition, the associations between the burden of schistosomiasis worldwide and in China and Zimbabwe from 1990 to 2019 and socio-demographic index (SDI) were examined using Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS The age-standardized prevalence, mortality, and DALY rate of schistosomiasis were 1 804.95/105, 0.14/105 and 20.92/105 in the world, 707.09/105, 0.02/105 and 5.06/105 in China, and 2 218.90/105, 2.39/105 and 90.09/105 in Zimbabwe in 2019, respectively. The global prevalence, mortality, and DALY rate of schistosomiasis appeared a tendency towards a rise followed by a decline with age in 2019, while the prevalence and DALY rate of schistosomiasis appeared a tendency towards a sharp rise followed by a fluctuating decline in both China and Zimbabwe, and the mortality of schistosomiasis appeared a tendency towards a rise. The age-standardized prevalence [average annual percent change (AAPC) = -1.31%, -2.22% and -6.12%; t = -20.07, -83.38 and -53.06; all P values < 0.05)] and DALY rate of schistosomiasis (AAPC = -1.91%,-4.17% and -2.08%; t = -31.89, -138.70 and -16.45; all P values < 0.05) appeared a tendency towards a decline in the world, China and Zimbabwe from 1990 to 2019, and the age-standardized mortality of schistosomiasis appeared a tendency towards a decline in the world and China (AAPC = -3.46% and -8.10%, t = -41.03 and -61.74; both P values < 0.05), and towards a rise followed by a decline in Zimbabwe (AAPC = 1.35%, t = 4.88, P < 0.05). In addition, Pearson correlation analysis showed that the age-standardized prevalence (r = -0.75, P < 0.05), mortality (r = -0.73, P < 0.05), and DALY rate of schistosomiasis (r = -0.77, P < 0.05) correlated negatively with SDI in the world, China and Zimbabwe from 1990 to 2019. CONCLUSIONS The disease burden of schistosomiasis appeared a remarkable decline in China from 1990 to 2019, and the prevalence of schistosomiasis showed a tendency towards a decline in Zimbabwe from 1990 to 2019; however, the mortality and DALY rate of schistosomiasis in Zimbabwe topped in the world. A schistosomiasis control strategy with adaptations to local epidemiology and control needs of schistosomiasis is needed to facilitate the elimination of schistosomiasis in Zimbabwe.

Abstract
Objective: Student loan debt has become a growing crisis. Considering that women are more likely than men to take on student loans and more likely to take on larger amounts, we examine whether the effects of student loans on young adults' mental health and substance use differ by gender. Participants: We used the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) data collected from 1997 to 2015. The NLSY97 consists of a nationally representative sample of American youths born between 1980 and 1984. Participants included 2,607 men and 3,004 women who reported college enrollment. Methods: We analyzed data using hybrid regression models. Results: Student loans have more negative effects on young men than young women, in terms of mental health problems, smoking, and heavy drinking. Particularly, young men tend to increase substance use in response to cumulative loan amounts. Conclusions: Borrowing patterns and the health consequences of student loans are gendered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor C (MrgC) reduces the number of receptors. However, the specific deubiquitinating enzyme antagonize this process has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the effect of ubiquitin-specific protease-48 (USP48) on bone cancer pain (BCP) and its effect on MrgC. METHODS A mouse model of BCP was established. BCP behaviours of mice were assessed after intrathecal injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-USP48. USP48 and MrgC interactions were studied by immunoprecipitation. Overexpression and knockdown of USP48 were conducted in N2a cells to investigate the effect of USP48 on MrgC receptor number and ubiquitination. RESULTS Spinal cord level USP48 expression was reduced in mice with BCP. Intrathecal injection of AAV-USP48 increased paw withdrawal mechanical threshold and reduced spontaneous flinching in mice. In N2a cells, there were increased number of MrgC receptors after overexpression of USP48 and decreased number of MrgC receptors after knockdown of USP48. USP48 interacted with MrgC and overexpression of USP48 altered the level of ubiquitination of MrgC. CONCLUSION USP48 antagonizes ubiquitin-mediated autophagic degradation of MrgC and alleviates BCP in a murine animal model. Our findings may provide a new perspective for the treatment of BCP. SIGNIFICANCE Our finding may provide an important theoretical basis as well as an intervention target for clinical development of drugs for BCP.

Abstract
Point clouds are characterized by irregularity and unstructuredness, which pose challenges in efficient data exploitation and discriminative feature extraction. In this paper, we present an unsupervised deep neural architecture called Flattening-Net to represent irregular 3D point clouds of arbitrary geometry and topology as a completely regular 2D point geometry image (PGI) structure, in which coordinates of spatial points are captured in colors of image pixels. Intuitively, Flattening-Net implicitly approximates a locally smooth 3D-to-2D surface flattening process while effectively preserving neighborhood consistency. As a generic representation modality, PGI inherently encodes the intrinsic property of the underlying manifold structure and facilitates surface-style point feature aggregation. To demonstrate its potential, we construct a unified learning framework directly operating on PGIs to achieve diverse types of high-level and low-level downstream applications driven by specific task networks, including classification, segmentation, reconstruction, and upsampling. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our methods perform favorably against the current state-of-the-art competitors.

Abstract
Objective Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a common metabolic disease caused by disordered purine metabolism. We aim to reveal the mechanisms underlying the anti-HUA function of Simiao pill and provide therapeutic targets. Methods Simiao pill-related targets were obtained using Herbal Ingredients' Targets (HIT), Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP), and Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database (TCMID). HUA-associated targets were retrieved from GeneCards, DisGeNET, and Therapeutic Targets Database (TTD). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database, ggraph and igraph R packages. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed using ClusterProfiler. The top 10 core targets were identified through cytoHubba. Molecular docking was conducted using PyMOL and AutoDock high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) analysis was performed to identify effective compounds of Simiao pill. Results Simiao pill-HUA target network contained 80 targets. The key targets were mainly involved in inflammatory responses. Insulin (INS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL6), interleukin 1 beta (IL1B), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), leptin (LEP), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), interleukin-10 (IL10), and toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) were the top 10 targets in the PPI network. GO analysis demonstrated the main implication of the targets in molecular responses, production, and metabolism. KEGG analysis revealed that Simiao pill might mitigate HUA through advanced glycation end-product- (AGE-) receptor for AGE- (RAGE-) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1- (HIF-1-) associated pathways. IL1B, IL6, IL10, TLR4, and TNF were finally determined as the promising targets of Simiao pill treating HUA. Through molecular docking and HPLC analysis, luteolin, quercetin, rutaecarpine, baicalin, and atractylenolide I were the main active compounds. Conclusions Simiao pill can mitigate HUA by restraining inflammation, mediating AGE-RAGE- and HIF-1-related pathways, and targeting IL1B, IL6, IL10, TLR4, and TNF.

Abstract
In light of the growing racialized immigrant population in Canada and advances in dating technologies, this study examines Chinese immigrants' partner preferences and mate selection processes through the lens of online dating. We draw on in-depth interviews with 31 Chinese immigrants who have used online dating services in Metro Vancouver to search for different-sex partners. Chinese immigrant online daters show strong preferences for dating Chinese. They emphasize permanent residency status and similarity in age at arrival when evaluating potential partners. Given their preferences, Chinese immigrants strategically choose the dating platforms they primarily use. Men exhibit higher selectivity in their preferences and choices of platforms. Notably, platforms catering to Chinese users create "digital ethnic enclaves" where Chinese immigrant daters congregate. The findings illuminate the intersection of race, gender, immigrant status, and age at arrival in shaping divergent experiences of mate selection and immigrant assimilation in the digital era.

Abstract
In recent years, laser-mediated photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy have attracted widespread attention due to their minimally invasive, easy to operate characteristics and high specificity. However, the traditional photodynamic or photothermal therapy exist several shortcomings such as the hypoxic microenvironment, intracellular heat shock proteins or complex operation. In this study, covalent organic framework (COF) was used as the drug carrier to equip with the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and the hypoxia-activating prodrug AQ4N. The hyaluronic acid (HA) was modified on the surface of COF to obtain the HA-COF@ICG/AQ4N drug delivery system. HA-modified COF delivery systems can target tumor cells through recognize CD44 which is overexpressed in the surface of tumor cells membrane. Under the irradiation of single NIR laser, ICG that can excite the nanoplatform simultaneously produces a combined effect of photodynamic and photothermal. At the same time, photodynamic therapy through depleting intracellular oxygen exacerbates the hypoxic state of the tumor microenvironment, which in turn enhances AQ4N reduced to chemotherapeutic drug AQ4, producing a synergistic cascade antitumor effect. The results of our study by tumor cell and tumor spheroids indicated that the hypoxia-activated multi-functional nanoplatform could effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Therapeutic nanoplatforms are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer due to the merits of enabling high soft-tissue resolution and the availability of numerous therapeutic nanoparticles. It is thus vital to develop multifunctional theranostic nanoparticles for the visualization and dynamic monitoring of tumor therapy. In this study, we designed a manganese-based and hypericin-loaded polyester dendrimer nanoparticle (MHD) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hypericin-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) enhancement. We found that MHD could greatly enhance MRI contrast with a longitudinal relaxivity of 5.8 mM-1 s-1 due to the Mn-based paramagnetic dendrimer carrier. Meanwhile, the MRI-guided PDT inhibition of breast tumors could be achieved by the hypericin-carrying MHD and further improved by Mn2+-mediated alleviation of the hypoxic microenvironment and the enhancement of cellular ROS. Besides, MHD showed excellent biocompatibility and biosafety with liver and kidney clearance mechanisms. Thus, the high efficiency in MRI contrast enhancement and excellent tumor-inhibiting effects indicate MHD's potential as a novel, stable, and multifunctional nanotheranostic agent for breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to propose a lateral cervical stria approach for selective neck dissection (SND) in patients of early-stage oral malignancies. MATERIAL AND METHODS The lateral cervical stria approach was used in 11 patients undergoing SND between December 2020 and March 2022. The surgical incision was located in submandibular cervical stria, with a length of 5.0 cm. The ipsilateral SND was performed according to the pathological type, covering part or all of I-V levels. Perioperative variables including operation time, blood loss, drainage volume, number of lymph node as well as complications were assessed. The score of appearance using the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL) was recorded 6-month postoperatively. RESULTS Direct closure of primary lesion was performed in ten patients and a forearm free flap reconstruction was used in one patient. No wound breakdown or infection was found in all cases. The mean operative time of SND was 157.63±27.39 min. The volume of intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage was 120.45±36.77 ml and 314.09±98.82 ml, respectively. The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 17.89±6.03 (ranging from 12 to 31). Postoperative complications included mild static lower lip deviation (n=1), shoulder discomfort (n=1) and mild auricular paraesthesia (n=1). The mean score of appearance was 86.36±13.06, with 100 scores in 5 patients and 75 scores in 6 patients. CONCLUSIONS The lateral cervical stria approach for SND in early-stage oral malignancies is reliable, achieving to satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by significant and persistent fatigue. Ginseng is a traditional anti-fatigue Chinese medicine with a long history in Asia, as demonstrated by clinical and experimental studies. Ginsenoside Rg1 is mainly derived from ginseng, and its anti-fatigue metabolic mechanism has not been thoroughly explored. Methods: We performed non-targeted metabolomics of rat serum using LC-MS and multivariate data analysis to identify potential biomarkers and metabolic pathways. In addition, we implemented network pharmacological analysis to reveal the potential target of ginsenoside Rg1 in CFS rats. The expression levels of target proteins were measured by PCR and Western blotting. Results: Metabolomics analysis confirmed metabolic disorders in the serum of CFS rats. Ginsenoside Rg1 can regulate metabolic pathways to reverse metabolic biases in CFS rats. We found a total of 34 biomarkers, including key markers Taurine and Mannose 6-phosphate. AKT1, VEGFA and EGFR were identified as anti-fatigue targets of ginsenoside Rg1 using network pharmacological analysis. Finally, biological analysis showed that ginsenoside Rg1 was able to down-regulate the expression of EGFR. Conclusion: Our results suggest ginsenoside Rg1 has an anti-fatigue effect, impacting the metabolism of Taurine and Mannose 6-phosphate through EGFR regulation. This demonstrates ginsenoside Rg1 is a promising alternative treatment for patients presenting with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Abstract
Anesthesia and surgery induce cognitive impairment via uncertain mechanisms. Increasing evidence has suggested that microglial activity mediated by IL-33 /ST2 plays a critical role in immune regulation and inflammatory responses. Yet, the implications for microglia activity mediated by IL-33 in perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are not well established. We showed that IL-33 and ST2 were downregulated in the hippocampus after anesthesia and surgery, and the expression of aggrecan, remodeling by microglia, was upregulated. Meanwhile, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-1β) and M1-like microglia marker (iNOS) increased, and the expression of M2-like microglia marker (CD206) decreased. Notably, the administration of IL-33 attenuated neuroinflammation and shifted the polarization of microglia in the hippocampus after anesthesia and surgery. Furthermore, IL-33 treatment rescued the increase of aggrecan, loss of dendritic spines, and impairment of LTP, improving cognitive performance. In conclusion, our study suggests that microglia activity mediated by IL-33/ST2 plays a vital role in cognitive impairments after anesthesia and surgery, which may serve as a therapeutic target for PND.

Abstract
Objective To explore potential risk factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following ambulatory surgery. Method Clinical data of 1670 cases receiving ambulatory surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from September 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. They were categorized to PONV group and non-PONV group, and perioperative data in both groups were analyzed for assessing risk factors of PONV following ambulatory laparoscopy. Results There were 156/1,670 (9.3%) PONV cases, and the female and male incidence in recruited cases was 12.0% and 6.0%, respectively. Analyses on perioperative data of them identified that female gender [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.060, P < 0.001], operation time >1 h (aOR = 1.554, P = 0.011), postoperative pain at rest (aOR = 1.909, P = 0.013) and postoperative pain during activities (aOR = 3.512, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors of PONV following ambulatory surgery. Furthermore, postoperative pain at rest and during activities were linearly, positively correlated to the incidence of PONV. Conclusion Female gender, operation time >1 h and postoperative pain are closely related with the incidence of PONV following ambulatory surgery. Alleviating postoperative pain properly is one of the methods to reduce risk factors of PONV following ambulatory surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To explore metabolic biomarkers associated with the onset of type 2 diabetes. Methods: Cluster random sampling method was used to select 10 867 local residents aged ≥ 20 years in Liangxi district of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province in 2007. The baseline survey and physical examination were conducted to collect participants' information, including demographic characteristics, behavior and lifestyles, disease history, family history of diabetes, height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure, etc. Blood samples were collected and biochemical indexes (high density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, etc.) were tested. By June 30, 2020, 220 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes during the follow-up were selected as cases, and 220 healthy individuals were matched as controls with age (±5 years) and the same sex. High performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometer was used to detect and identify metabolites in serum samples of two groups at baseline. Lasso regression and multivariate conditional logistic regression were used to explore the metabolites associated with the onset of type 2 diabetes. Results: The age of participants at baseline was (53±7) years, and 41.82% were male. 25 out of 1 579 metabolites were selected to be potentially associated with the onset of type 2 diabetes in the lasso regression model. The multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis showed that only 7-Methylxanthine had an independent effect on type 2 diabetes (P=0.019). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) (95%CI) of the prediction model of type 2 diabetes based on traditional risk factors was 0.80 (0.76-0.85). After the 7-methylxanthine in the model, the AUC (95%CI) increased to 0.92 (0.89-0.95) (P<0.001). From the second year, 7-methylxanthine could improve the prediction performance (P=0.007). Conclusion: The level of 7-methylxanthine is related to the onset of type 2 diabetes, and can be used as a biomarker to predict its incidence risk.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious public health threat that many countries in the world are facing. While several measures are being taken to minimize the spread of infection, mental health efforts must address psychological challenges due to the pandemic. This commentary reflects on original research from earlier epicenters of COVID-19 and identifies effective practices and suggestions applicable to mental health interventions in the North American context. Tailored mental health services need to be provided for populations that are at high risk of infection. Suggested interventions targeting specific population groups, such as healthcare workers, COVID-19 patients, and vulnerable populations, are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish visualised prediction models of low fertilisation rate (LFR) and total fertilisation failure (TFF) for patients in conventional in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Data from August 2017 to August 2021 were collected from the electronic records of a large obstetrics and gynaecology hospital in Sichuan, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 11 598 eligible patients who underwent the first IVF cycles were included. All patients were randomly divided into the training group (n=8129) and the validation group (n=3469) in a 7:3 ratio. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE The incidence of LFR and TFF. RESULTS Logistic regressions showed that ovarian stimulation protocol, primary infertility and initial progressive sperm motility were the independent predictors of LFR, while serum luteinising hormone and P levels before human chorionic gonadotropin injection and number of oocytes retrieved were the critical predictors of TFF. And these indicators were incorporated into the nomogram models. According to the area under the curve values, the predictive ability for LFR and TFF were 0.640 and 0.899 in the training set and 0.661 and 0.876 in the validation set, respectively. The calibration curves also showed good concordance between the actual and predicted probabilities both in the training and validation group. CONCLUSION The novel nomogram models provided effective methods for clinicians to predict LFR and TFF in traditional IVF cycles.

Abstract
The cornea is a transparent tissue with significant refractive and barrier functions. Corneal epithelium constitutes the first line of defense against foreign pathogens. Corneal epithelial cells interact to form a functionally selective permeability barrier. Dysfunction of this barrier leads to corneal impairment followed by a series of ocular surface diseases and even blindness. Tight junctions (TJ), located at the top of the intercellular space of corneal epithelial superficial cells, play a critical role in establishing and maintaining the barrier function. Previous studies have shown that destruction of the TJ acts as a crucial step of the occurrence and progression of multiple ocular surface diseases. Understanding the fundamental features and functions of the TJ, noticing the risk factors of TJ disruption, and clarifying the key role of TJ in the pathogenesis of various ocular surface diseases will help to better understand and treat ocular surface diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of dyslipidemia on the clinical outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) in infertility patients receiving donor eggs. Methods: A total of 118 patients were selected to receive egg donors and ICSI-ET at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between April 2007 and December 2020. According to the levels of triacylglycerol, serum cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and low density lipoprotein, they were divided into dyslipidemia group (35 cases) and normal blood lipids group (83 cases). The influence of body mass index (BMI) and age was adjusted by 1∶1 propensity score matching, and the general condition and clinical outcome of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively. Finally, the relationship between lipid composition and clinical outcome was analyzed according to patients' age and BMI. Results: (1) Comparing the pre-matching dyslipidemia group with the normal blood lipids group, the BMI of the dyslipidemia group was significantly higher than that of the normal blood lipids group [(23.5±2.4) vs (22.4±2.7) kg/m2], and the embryo implantation rate was significantly lower than that of the normal blood lipids group [13.6% (8/59) vs 27.3% (36/132)], the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). (2) There were no significant differences in years of infertility, number of pregnancies, number of abortions, number of transplanted embryos, protocol of endometrial preparation, endometrial thickness on transplantation day and high quality embryo rate between the two groups, through propensity score matching (all P>0.05). The biochemical pregnancy rate [28.6% (10/35)], embryo implantation rate [13.6% (8/59)] and live birth rate [20.0% (7/35)] in dyslipidemia group were significantly lower than those in the normal blood lipids group (P<0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate was lower than that of the normal blood lipids group (P>0.05). (3) The results of stratified analysis showed that the level of HDL in the clinically non-pregnant group was significantly lower than that in the pregnant group in patients ≤ 35 years old [(1.5±0.3) vs (1.8±0.5) mmol/L; P<0.05]. In the overweight recipient patients, the level of HDL of the clinically non-pregnant group was lower than that of the pregnant group (P>0.05). Conclusions: Dyslipidemia significantly reduces the biochemical pregnancy rate, embryo implantation rate and live birth rate in patients with receiving donor eggs. Especially in patients aged ≤35 years old, the reduction of HDL is closely related to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) involving larynx and trachea. Methods: A total of 1 436 cases of thyroid malignant tumors were admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from 2004 to 2019, including 110 cases of PTC involving larynx and trachea, and of which 105 cases with complete follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. There were 42 males and 63 females, with a male/female ratio of 1∶1.5, aged from 28 to 81 years. All lesions involved trachea, including 11 cases involving both trachea and larynx. Of those 83 cases underwent laryngeal and airway wall tumor excision, and 22 cases underwent radical tumor excision plus laryngeal and trachea repair. Extubation rate was analyzed and the postoperative survival curve of patients was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Among 105 cases, 16 cases underwent tracheotomy and 12 cases were successfully extubated. The overall 3- 5- and 10-year survival rates were 100.0%, 86.4% and 72.5%, and the disease-free survival rates were 93.1%, 81.6% and 57.7%, respectively. There was significant difference in survival curve between the two groups (χ2=4.21, P=0.040). The 5-year and 10-year survival rates were 94.6% and 77.3% in laryngeal and tracheal tumor exclusion group, and 85.7% and 51.4% in the radical tumor resection group. There was no significant difference in the survival curves between the two groups (χ2=3.50, P=0.061). Conclusion: PTC patients with laryngeal and tracheal involvement can achieve long survival and good quality of life through reasonable surgical treatment.

Abstract
In this article, we describe a gender peak effect that women's relative share in COVID-19 infections increases when there is a sharp increase in cases, and it reaches the highest level during peak times in each wave of the COVID-19 outbreak. We demonstrate this gender peak effect by analyzing detailed, sex-disaggregated Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) data. The data include 1,045,998 men and women who were confirmed cases of COVID-19 from March 2020 to February 2022. We show that women's relative share in COVID-19 infections always increases and reaches the level exceeding men's share when we see a sharp peak in case number. We further show that women's higher share in care work (e.g., captured by occupation and age variables) largely explains their elevated infections during COVID-19 peaks. Effective public health interventions during infectious disease outbreaks must recognize this potential gender peak effect and take appropriate measures to curb women's health vulnerabilities.

Abstract
BackgroundBiological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are effective in suppressing inflammation and preventing joint damage. But bDMARDs may be associated with increased risk of severe infection. Evidence on this is contradictory with some studies showing increased risk, whereas others reporting no significant changes.ObjectivesTo determine the impact of the introduction of bDMARDs on severe infection among patients newly diagnosed with RA compared with non-RA individuals.MethodsIn this age- and gender-matched cohort study using administrative health data for the population of BC, Canada, all incident RA patients diagnosed between 1995–2007 were identified. Non-RA individuals were randomly selected from the general control population to match with RA. Incident RA/non-RA individuals were then divided into quarterly cohorts according to their diagnosis date. Two outcomes were examined: (1) first severe infection (FSI) after RA onset necessitating hospitalization or occurring during hospitalization; and (2) all severe infections (ASI) after RA onset. We calculated the 8-year FSI and ASI rate for each cohort. We conducted interrupted time-series analyses to compare levels and trends of FSI and ASI in RA and non-RA individuals diagnosed during pre-bDMARDs (1995–2001) and post-bDMARDs (2003–2007) periods. Adjusted 8-year FSI and ASI rates for RA and non-RA cohorts diagnosed five years after bDMARDs introduction were compared with expected rates assuming no bDMARDs introduction, based on extrapolation of pre-bDMARDs trends.ResultsA total of 60,226 and 588,499 incident RA/non-RA individuals were identified. We identified 8,954 FSI and 14,245 ASI in RA, and 56,153 FSI and 79,819 ASI in non-RA. The 8-year FSI rates among RA patients diagnosed in the pre-bDMARDs period decreased over time but leveled off among those diagnosed in the post-period (Figure 1). The adjusted difference between the post- and pre-bDMARDs secular trends of 8-year FSI rates was 0.68 (p=0.03) in RA and 0.03 (p=0.67) in non-RA (Table 1). The 8-year ASI rates among RA patients diagnosed in the pre-bDMARDs period decreased over time but increased significantly among those diagnosed in the post-period (Figure 1). The adjusted difference between the post- and pre-bDMARDs secular trends of 8-year ASI rates was 1.85 (p=0.001) in RA and 0.12 (p=0.29) in non-RA (Table 1). For RA cohort diagnosed 5 years after bDMARDs introduction, ASI rate increased by 20.4% than expected rates assuming no bDMARDs introduction.

Abstract
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events. Biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are effective in suppressing inflammation and preventing joint damage and may help lower the risk of CV events. However, recent epidemiological studies have shown mixed results with some suggesting a lower risk of CV events, while others reporting no significant differences.ObjectivesTo determine the impact of the introduction of bDMARDs on incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among patients newly diagnosed with RA compared with matched non-RA individuals.MethodsIn this age- and gender-matched cohort study using administrative health data for the population of BC, Canada, all incident RA patients diagnosed between 1995–2007 were identified. Non-RA individuals were randomly selected from the general control population to match with RA. Incident RA and non-RA individuals were then divided into quarterly cohorts according to their diagnosis date. The outcome of interest was incident CVD event after RA onset, which include acute myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and venous thromboembolism. We calculated the 8-year incident CVD rate for each cohort. We conducted interrupted time-series analyses to compare levels and trends of CVD in RA and non-RA individuals diagnosed during pre-bDMARDs (1995–2001) and post-bDMARDs (2003–2007) periods with intervention time set at year of 2002. Adjusted 8-year CVD rates for RA and non-RA cohorts diagnosed five years after bDMARDs introduction were compared with expected rates assuming no bDMARDs introduction, based on extrapolation of pre-bDMARDs trends.ResultsA total of 60,226 and 588,499 incident RA and non-RA individuals were identified. We identified 6,740 and 48,653 incident CVD events in total in RA and non-RA individuals, respectively. We observe no change in the secular trends of the 8-year CVD rates in both RA and non-RA individuals diagnosed in pre- and post-bDMARDS periods (Figure 1): the adjusted difference between the post- and pre-bDMARDs secular trends of 8-year CVD rates was 0.23 (p=0.26) for RA patients and -0.07 (p=0.33) for non-RA individuals (Table 1). However, we observed a reduction in the level of CVD rates among RA patients diagnosed in the post-bDMARDs period and no change in non-RA (Figure 1): the adjusted difference in level comparing points immediately before and after the intervention, and accounting for pre-intervention trend was -1.61 (p=0.03) in RA, while it was -0.02 (p=0.93) in non-RA (Table 1).Table 1.Results of interrupted time-series analysis of incident CVD rates, adjusting for age, gender, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Romano Charlson Comorbidity Index, diabetes, angina, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, atrial fibrillation, glucocorticoid, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, CVD medications, fibrates, contraceptives, and aspirin use at disease diagnosis year, using stepwise model selectionOutcomeParameterRANon-RAUnadj.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In frozen embryo transfer (FET), there is limited consensus on the best means of endometrial preparation in terms of the reproductive outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The present study aimed to compare the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes following artificial cycle FET (AC-FET) with or without gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment among women with PCOS. METHODS A total of 4503 FET cycles that satisfied the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study between 2015 and 2020. The GnRH-a group received GnRH-a pretreatment while the AC-FET group did not. Propensity score matching (PSM) method and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to adjust for potential confounding factors. RESULTS After PSM, women in the GnRH-a group suffered a significantly lower miscarriage rate (11.2% vs. 17.1%, P = 0.033) and a higher live birth rate (LBR) compared with those in the AC-FET group (63.1% vs. 56.8%, P = 0.043). No differences were observed in the rates of biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy between the two groups. A higher mean gestational age at birth was observed in the GnRH-a group than in the AC-FET group (39.80 ± 2.01 vs. 38.17 ± 2.13, P = 0.009). The incidence of neonatal preterm birth (PTB) in the GnRH-a group was lower than that in the AC-FET group (7.4% vs. 14.9%, P = 0.009). Singleton newborns conceived after GnRH-a group were more likely to be small for gestational age (SGA) than those born after AC-FET group (16.4% vs. 6.8%, P = 0.009). However, no significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of mean birthweight, apgar score, the rates of macrosomia, large for gestational age and low birth weight. CONCLUSION(S) In women with PCOS who underwent AC-FET, GnRH-a pretreatment was significantly associated with a higher live birth rate and a reduced risk of neonatal PTB. However, there was a concomitant increase in the risk of developing SGA babies.

Abstract
Organic semiconducting emitters integrated with butterfly-mimetic photonic crystals (PhCs) are fascinating for dramatic advantages over light outcoupling efficiency and multifunctional strain sensors, as well as the key step toward electrically pumped lasers. Herein, an unprecedentedly direct mesoscale self-assembly into 1D PhCs is reported through a covalently gridization-driven approach of wide-bandgap conjugated polymers. A simple solvent-casting procedure allows for in situ self-assembly of the state-of-the-art conjugated nanopolymer, poly{[4-(octyloxy)-9,9-diphenylfluoren-2,7-diyl]grid}-co-{[5-(octyloxy)-9,9-diphenylfluoren-2,7-diyl]grid} (PODPFG), into well-defined multilayer architectures with an excellent toughness (30-40 J m-3 ). This ordered meso-architecture shows a typical Bragg-Snell diffraction behavior to testify the PhC nature, along with a high effective refractive index (1.80-1.88) and optical transmittance (85-87%). The PhC films also exhibit an angle-dependent blue/green photoluminescence switching, an electroluminescence efficiency enhancement by 150-250%, and an amplified spontaneous emission enhancement with ultralow waveguide loss coefficient (2.60 cm-1 ). Gridization of organic semiconductors offers promising opportunities for cross-scale morphology-directed molecular design in multifunctional organic mechatronics and intelligences.

Abstract
Background SIRT7 has been shown to be expressed in many cancer types, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (KIRC), but its functional role in this oncogenic context remains to be firmly defined. This study was designed to explore correlations between SIRT7 and KIRC characteristics using the TCGA database. Methods Relationships between SIRT7 expression and KIRC patient clinicopathological characteristics were assessed through Kruskal–Wallis tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and logistic regression analyses. Area under the ROC curve (AUC) values were used to assess the prognostic value of SIRT7 as a means of classifying clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients. The functional role of SIRT7 in this cancer type was assessed through GO/KEGG enrichment analyses and immune cell infiltration analyses. Results In KIRC patients, higher levels of SIRT7 expression were associated with Race, M stage, T stage (all P < 0.05). SIRT7 offered significant diagnostic value in ROC curve analyses (AUC = 0.912), and elevated SIRT7 levels were linked to worse patient overall survival (OS; P < 0.001). The expression of SIRT7 was independently related with KIRC patient OS (HR: 1.827; 95% CI: 1.346–2.481; P<0.001). In GO/KEGG analyses, SIRT7 was found to be associated with ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and nucleotide excision repair. Higher SIRT7 expression was related to the enhanced infiltration of certain immune cells. Conclusion Increased SIRT7 expression was associated with a worse KIRC patient prognosis, and immune infiltrates, suggesting it may offer value as a prognostic biomarker for this cancer type.

Abstract
Child marriage, defined as marriage before 18 years of age, has harmful consequences for health and development and is an indicator of gender inequality. We used publicly available data from the 2000 and 2010 censuses to estimate the national and provincial-level prevalence of child marriage across mainland China. Between 2000 and 2010, the prevalence of child marriage rose from 2.41 percent to 2.85 percent among women and from 0.54 percent to 0.77 percent among men. The 2010 estimates are equivalent to roughly 1.8 million women and 0.5 million men. Child marriage was more common in western provinces among both girls and boys. Provincial prevalence estimates ranged from 0.44 percent in Beijing to 12.94 percent in Qinghai among girls. Among boys, estimates ranged from 0.13 percent in Beijing to 5.03 percent in Tibet. The gender gap widened across much of the country between censuses. Our results indicate that child marriage continues across mainland China despite laws that ostensibly prohibit the practice. They also draw attention to the global nature of child marriage as a threat to gender equality.

Abstract
High dielectric constants in organic semiconductors have been identified as a central challenge for the improvement in not only piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric effects but also photoelectric conversion efficiency in OPVs, carrier mobility in OFETs, and charge density in charge-trapping memories. Herein, we report an ultralong persistence length (l p ≈ 41 nm) effect of spiro-fused organic nanopolymers on dielectric properties, together with excitonic and charge carrier behaviors. The state-of-the-art nanopolymers, namely, nanopolyspirogrids (NPSGs), are synthesized via the simple cross-scale Friedel-Crafts polygridization of A2B2-type nanomonomers. The high dielectric constant (k = 8.43) of NPSG is firstly achieved by locking spiro-polygridization effect that results in the enhancement of dipole polarization. When doping into a polystyrene-based dielectric layer, such a high-k feature of NPSG increases the field-effect carrier mobility from 0.20 to 0.90 cm2 V-1 s-1 in pentacene OFET devices. Meanwhile, amorphous NPSG film exhibits an ultralow energy disorder (<50 meV) for an excellent zero-field hole mobility of 3.94 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1, surpassing most of the amorphous π-conjugated polymers. Organic nanopolymers with high dielectric constants open a new way to break through the bottleneck of efficiency and multifunctionality in the blueprint of the fourth-generation semiconductors.
