Abstract
Microplastics are known to negatively affect anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste activated sludge. However, whether thermal hydrolysis (TH) pretreatment alters the impact of microplastics on sludge AD remains unknown. Herein, the effect of TH on the impact of polyethylene (PE) microplastics in sludge AD was investigated. The results showed that the inhibition of methane production by PE at 100 particles/g total solids (TS) was reduced by 31.4% from 12.1% to 8.3% after TH at 170 °C for 30 min. Mechanism analysis indicated TH reduced the potential for reactive oxygen species production induced by PE, resulting in a 29.1 ± 5.5% reduction in cell viability loss. In addition, additive leaching increased as a result of rapid aging of PE microplastics by TH. Acetyl tri-n-butyl citrate (ATBC) release from PE with 10 and 100 particles/g TS increased 11.5-fold and 8.6-fold after TH to 68.2 ± 5.5 μg/L and 124.0 ± 5.1 μg/L, respectively. ATBC at 124.0 μg/L increased methane production by 21.4%. The released ATBC enriched SBR1031 and Euryarchaeota, which facilitate the degradation of proteins and promote methane production. This study reveals the overestimated impact of PE microplastics in sludge AD and provides new insights into the PE microplastics-induced impact in practical sludge treatment and anaerobic biological processes.

Abstract
There is at present an acute need for the construction of biopolymer-based smart packaging material that can be applied for the real-time visual monitoring of food freshness. Herein, a nano-sized substituted imidazolate material (SIM-1) with ammonia-sensitive and antibacterial ability was effectively manufactured and then anchored within corn starch/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) blend to construct biopolymeric smart active packaging material. The structure, physical and functional performances of CS/PVA-based films with different content of SIM-1 (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt% on CS/PVA basis) were then explored in detail. Results revealed that the incorporated SIM-1 nanocrystals were equally anchored within the CS/PVA matrix owing to the establishment of potent hydrogen-bonding interactions, which produced an obvious improvement in the compatibility of CS/PVA blend film, as well as its mechanical strength, water/oxygen barrier and UV-screening performances. The constructed CS/PVA/SIM-1 blend films further demonstrated superior long-term color stability property, ammonia-sensitive and antibacterial functions. Furthermore, the CS/PVA/SIM-1 blend films were utilized for effectively monitoring the deterioration of shrimp via observable color alteration. The above findings suggested the potential applications of CS/PVA/SIM-1 blend films in smart active packaging.

Abstract
A crucial aspect in achieving sustainable development of biomass materials is the modification of renewable polysaccharides to create various high-value functional materials. In this paper, bagasse xylan (BX) was used as a raw material to introduce benzyl methacrylate (BMA) through graft copolymerization reaction to generate the intermediate product BX-g-BMA. Subsequently, the target product (CA-BX-g-BMA) was synthesized by catalytic esterification of BX-g-BMA with citric acid (CA) in AmimCl ionic liquid. Meanwhile, the characterization and bioactivity studies of CA-BX-g-BMA were carried out. The graft copolymerization and esterification reactions induced significant changes in the morphological structure of BX and obviously improved its thermal stability and crystallinity. The application of density functional theory (DFT), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and molecular docking has revealed that CA-BX-g-BMA possesses multiple active sites, strong biological activity and a strong binding affinity to 6RCF tumor protein with a binding energy of -32.26 kJ/mol. The in vitro antitumor activity of this novel derivative was tested by MTT assay, and the results showed that CA-BX-g-BMA was non-toxic to normal cells and inhibited MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer cells) by up to 32.16 % ± 4.89 %, which is approximately 11 times higher than that of BX. The exploration of these properties is essential to promote future multidisciplinary applications of BX derivatives.

Abstract
Currently, there is an urgent requirement for the fabrication of smart packaging materials that can be applied for the real-time visual monitoring of food freshness. In this research, cubic Co-MOF (Co-Imd) microcrystal with ammonia-sensitivity and antibacterial activity was manufactured and then anchored within sodium alginate (NaAlg) matrix to construct smart packaging materials. The structure, physical and functional performances of NaAlg-based films with different content of Co-Imd (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt% on NaAlg basis) were then evaluated in detail. Results reveal that the incorporated Co-Imd fillers are equally anchored within the NaAlg matrix due to the generation of new hydrogen-bonding interaction, which make an obvious improvement in mechanical strength, toughness, oxygen/water barrier, and UV-blocking ability of the NaAlg film. Moreover, the constructed NaAlg/Co-Imd blend films show superior antibacterial capability, ammonia-sensitivity function as well as color stability. Ultimately, the NaAlg/Co-Imd blend films were successfully utilized for indicating the deterioration of shrimp based on noticeable color alteration, suggesting their tremendous prospects for utilization in smart active packaging. This work offers a facile and efficient method for fabricating novel ammonia-sensitive and long-term color-stable NaAlg-based film materials with improved mechanical strength, toughness, oxygen/water barrier, UV-blocking, and antibacterial performances for smart active packaging application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insomnia disorder (ID) is a persistent difficulty sleeping, often accompanied by anxiety and depression, which seriously reduces a person's quality of life. Dietary changes in insomnia patients have been a concern. To explore the rationality of diet in patients with ID and its correlation with insomnia in ID patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 216 patients diagnosed with ID and 197 individuals as the healthy control (HC) group who attended the neurology outpatient clinic or sleep clinic at Henan Provincial People's Hospital between September 2018 and November 2019. Through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), sleep and mental conditions were assessed in the ID and HC groups. The dietary intake structure of both groups was observed using the food frequency table. Meanwhile, the relationship between dietary intake and sleep quality was analyzed based on the logistics regression. RESULTS Individuals in the ID group had significantly higher age, weight, and body mass index compared to the HC group (p<0.01). Individuals within the ID category demonstrated a heightened daily consumption of carbohydrates, grains, tubers, and legumes relative to the healthy control group. In contrast, the intake levels of vegetables, fruits, and nuts were diminished compared to the HC group, with this difference being statistically significant (p<0.01). A positive correlation was observed between the daily consumption of grains, tubers, and legumes and PSQI scores. Conversely, a negative association was found between daily consumption of vegetables and fruits. CONCLUSIONS ID patients exhibit an elevated intake of carbohydrates, whereas the consumption of vegetables, fruits, and nuts is deficient in comparison to the healthy cohort, implying that a distorted dietary structure might be a contributing factor to ID onset. Sensible and scientific dietary guidance is of considerable significance in preventing the onset of ID and facilitating its management. However, the derived conclusions warrant further extensive research.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with/without induction chemotherapy has been the standard therapy (ST) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC). However, most patients supporting these clinical trials were younger than 65 years of age. For the toxicity of CRT and the poor tolerance of elderly patients, it is still controversial whether ST could bring the most promising survival benefits for elderly NPC compared with individualized therapy (IT). Thus, in this real-world study we compared the survival and safety of ST with IT in elderly LA-NPC to explore an effective and tolerable treatment strategy for elderly LA-NPC. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 109 newly diagnosed elderly LA-NPC (>65 years old) from Jan. 2013-Jul. 2020 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into the ST group and IT group according to the original treatment tendency. ST refers to CRT with/without induction chemotherapy. IT group included patients not suitable for CRT and were given individualized treatment fully discussed by at least two oncologists from our head and neck team. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) generated a matched cohort of ST and IT. The survivals and treatment related toxicities were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There were 46 cases in the ST group and 63 cases in the IT group. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate, cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate, progression- free survival (PFS) rate, local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) rate and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rate were 68.64%, 76.42%, 73.69%, 85.67% and 86.82%, respectively. By 1:1PSM, 35 cases in each group were matched. No significant differences of OS, CSS, PFS, LRFS and DMFS were found between ST and IT groups in the PSM-matched cohorts (P = 0.87, P = 0.79, P = 0.51, P = 0.81 and P = 0.24, respectively). Compared with patients in the ST group, cases received IT were associated with less severe acute toxicities including anemia, leucopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. CONCLUSION For elderly LA-NPC, IT had similar survivals while less severe toxicities compared with ST, which revolutionarily challenged the role of ST for elderly LA-NPC. In the future, more studies are need to explore a less toxic treatment modality with noninferior efficacy for elderly LA-NPC.

Abstract
Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for smart packaging materials capable of effectively monitoring the food freshness. In this study, new Co-based MOF (Co-BIT) microcrystals with ammonia-sensitivity and antibacterial function were constructed and then loaded within cellulose acetate (CA) matrix to create smart active packaging materials. The influences of Co-BIT loading upon structure, physical, and functional properties of the CA films were then thoroughly explored. It was observed that microcrystalline Co-BIT was uniformly integrated inside CA matrix, which caused significant promotions in mechanical strength (from 24.12 to 39.76 MPa), water barrier (from 9.32 × 10-6 to 2.73 × 10-6 g/m·h·Pa) and ultraviolet light protection performances of CA film. Additionally, the created CA/Co-BIT films displayed striking antibacterial efficacy (>95.0 % for both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus), favorable ammonia-sensitivity function as well as color stability. Finally, the CA/Co-BIT films were successfully applied for indicating the spoilage of shrimp through discernible color changes. These findings suggest that Co-BIT loaded CA composite films have great potential for use as smart active packaging.

Abstract
Polycarbonate (PC) microplastics are frequently detected in waste activated sludge. However, understanding the potential impact of PC microplastics on biological sludge treatment remains challenging. By tracking the changes in methane production under different concentrations of PC microplastics, a dose-dependent effect of PC microplastics on anaerobic digestion of sludge was observed. PC microplastics at 10-60 particles/g total solids (TS) improved methane production by up to 24.7 ± 0.1 % (at 30 particles/g TS), while 200 particles/g TS PC microplastics reduced methane production by 8.09 ± 0.1 %. Bisphenol A (BPA) leached from 30 particles/g TS PC microplastics (1.26 ± 0.18 mg/L) down-regulated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thereby enhancing enzyme activity, biomass viability, and abundance of methanogenic (Methanobacterium sp. and Methanosarcina sp.), ultimately boosting methane production. Conversely, BPA leached from 200 particles/g TS PC microplastics (4.02 ± 0.15 mg/L) stimulated ROS production, resulting in decreased biomass viability and even apoptosis. Modulation of oxidative stress by leaching monomeric BPA is an underappreciated transformative mechanism for improving the mastery of the potential behavior of microplastics in biological sludge treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically analyze the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at different temperatures on the function of different organs in patients after heart valve replacement and to investigate its safety and feasibility. PATIENTS AND METHODS The data of 275 heart valve replacement surgery patients who underwent static suction compound anesthesia under CPB between February 2018 and October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into normothermic CPB anesthesia group (group 0), shallow hypothermic CPB anesthesia group (group 1), medium hypothermic CPB anesthesia group (group 2), and deep hypothermic CPB anesthesia group (group 3) according to the different intraoperative CPB temperatures. The basic preoperative conditions, cardiac resuscitation, number of defibrillations, postoperative ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative evaluation of different organ functions, such as heart, lung, and kidney functions, were analyzed and studied in each group. RESULTS The comparison of preoperative and postoperative pulmonary artery pressure and left ventricular internal diameter (LVD) was statistically significant in each group (p < 0.05), and the postoperative pulmonary function pressure was statistically significant in group 0 compared with groups 1 and 2 (p < 0.05). The preoperative glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the eGFR on the first postoperative day were statistically significant in all the groups (p < 0.05), and the eGFR on the first postoperative day in groups 1 and 2 were statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The control of appropriate temperature during CPB was associated with the recovery of organ function in patients after valve replacement. Intravenous compound general anesthesia with superficial hypothermic CPB might be more beneficial in recovering cardiac, pulmonary, and renal functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the molecular mechanism by which microRNA let-7g-3p regulates biological behaviors of bladder cancer cells. METHODS The expression levels of let-7g-3p in bladder cancer and adjacent tissues, normal bladder epithelial cells (HUC cells) and bladder cancer cells (T24, 5637 and EJ cells) were detected using qRT- PCR. T24 cells were transfected with let-7g-3p mimic or inhibitor, and the changes in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were examined. Transcriptome sequencing was carried out in cells overexpressing let-7g-3p, and the results of bioinformatics analysis, double luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT-PCR and Western blotting confirmed that HMGB2 gene was the target gene of let-7g-3p. The expression of HMGB2 was examined in HUC, T24, 5637 and EJ cells, and in cells with HMGB2 knockdown, the effect of let-7g-3p knockdown on the biological behaviors were observed. RESULTS qRT-qPCR confirmed that let-7g-3p expression was significantly lower in bladder cancer tissues and cells (P < 0.01). Overexpression of let-7g-3p inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis, while let-7g-3p knock-down produced the opposite effects. Bioinformatics and transcriptome sequencing results showed that HMGB2 was the key molecule that mediate the effect of let-7g-3p on bladder cancer cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT-PCR and Western blotting all confirmed that HMGB2 was negatively regulated by let-7g-3p (P < 0.01). Knocking down HMGB2 could partially reverse the effect of let-7g-3p knockdown on the biological behaviors of the bladder cancer cells. CONCLUSION The microRNA let-7g-3p can inhibit the biological behavior of bladder cancer cells by negatively regulating HMGB2 gene.

Abstract
As a biocompatible biomaterial, bagasse xylan (BX) has been widely used in the biomedical field. The low biological activity of andrographolide (AD) restricts its development, so AD with certain anticancer activity is introduced. We use chemical modification methods such as grafting and esterification to improve the biological activity and make a novel anticancer nanomaterial. On the basis of the esterification of a mixture of BX and AD with folic acid (FA), a novel anticancer nanoderivative of bagasse xylan/andrographolide folate-g-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA)/diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DEGDMA) nanoparticles (FA-BX/AD-g-DMAEMA/DEGDMA NPs) was synthesized by introducing DMAEMA and DEGDMA monomers through a graft copolymerization and nanoprecipitation method. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, the initiator concentration and the mass ratio of FA-BX/AD to mixed monomers on the grafting rate (GR) were investigated. The structure of the obtained product was characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD and DTG. Further, molecular docking and MTT assays were performed to understand the possible docking sites with the target proteins and the anticancer activity of the product. The results showed that the GR of the obtained product was 79% under the conditions of the initiator concentration 55 mmol/L, m (FA-BX/AD):m (mixed monomer) = 1:2, reaction temperature 50 °C and reaction time 5 h. The inhibition rate of FA-BX/AD-g-DMAEMA/DEGDMA NPs on human lung cancer cells (NCI-H460) can reach 39.77 ± 5.62%, which is about 7.6 times higher than that of BX. Therefore, this material may have potential applications in the development of anticancer drug or carriers and functional materials.

Abstract
SiC-based components are sometimes susceptible to aqueous dissolution in LWR coolant environments. To address this issue, ~10 μm thick Cr coatings was deposited on reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) plates by magnetron sputtering. Corrosion behavior of Cr-coated SiC and -uncoated SiC coupons was studied by immersing in autoclave (345°C and 16.5 MPa). The weight loss of the Cr coated SiC coupons (3.02% after the 93-days) in the autoclave tests was effectively reduced due to their Cr-coated surfaces, in contrast to the uncoated ones (20.4% after the 78-days). Moreover, microstructural and compositional evolutions were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. It was revealed that a continuous and dense Cr2O3 layer formed on the surface after the hydrothermal corrosion, which can suppress the in-diffusion of corrosive medium.

Abstract
Bioinspired polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were synthesized and explored as functional compatibilizers in polyvinyl alcohol/starch (PVA/ST) matrix to develop high-performance multifunctional packaging film. The effect of the addition of PDA on the microstructural, mechanical, thermal, water vapor barrier, ultraviolet (UV)/high-energy blue light (HEBL) blocking, thermal insulating and antioxidant properties of PVA/ST composite films was fully investigated. Results demonstrated that the added PDA nanoparticles were evenly dispersed in the PVA/ST matrix, providing compact and dense nanocomposite films due to their compatibilization effect. Compared with virgin PVA/ST film, the resulting PVA/ST/PDA nanocomposite films exhibited greatly improved tensile strength, toughness, thermal stability, and water vapor barrier ability. Furthermore, the presence of PDA endowed PVA/ST composite film with excellent UV/HEBL blocking, thermal insulating as well as antioxidant functions. Thus, such high-performance multifunctional nanocomposite films hold the potential of protecting food quality against photothermal oxidative deterioration and extend food shelf life.

Abstract
This work explored biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol/starch (PVA/ST) film compatibilized by rod-like ZnO nanofillers as multifunctional food packaging materials. The influence of rod-like ZnO nanofillers on the microstructural, UV-shielding, antibacterial, mechanical, thermal, together with water barrier performances of PVA/ST composite films was fully studied. Results revealed that rod-like ZnO nanofillers could be uniformly distributed into the PVA/ST matrix, playing the role of compatibilizers to provide compact and dense nanocomposite films. The resulting nanocomposite films presented greatly improved mechanical and water vapor barrier properties as compared to virgin PVA/ST film. Moreover, the well distributed ZnO endowed PVA/ST film with excellent antimicrobial activity against both E. coli and S. aureus, together with outstanding UV-shielding capability meanwhile retaining highly optical transparency (approximately 90%). The developed PVA/ST/ZnO films were tested for packaging fresh-cut carrot slices to prevent microbial infection and prolong their shelf life. These results indicated that the developed highly transparent and multifunctional PVA/ST/ZnO nanocomposite films possess broad application prospects in active food packaging field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread around the world in 2020. Abnormal pulmonary function and residual CT abnormalities were observed in COVID-19 patients during recovery. Appropriate rehabilitation training is around the corner. The correlation between spirometric impairment and residual CT abnormality remains largely unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study conducted on the pulmonary function of 101 convalescent COVID-19 patients before discharge. Multivariate analysis was used to establish a scoring system to evaluate the spirometric abnormality based on residual chest CT. RESULTS Lung consolidation area >25% and severe-type COVID-19 were two independent risk factors for severe pulmonary dysfunction. Besides, a scoring system was established. People scoring more than 12 points have more chances (17 times) to get severe pulmonary function impairment before discharge. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, a chest CT characteristics-based grading system was suggested to predict the pulmonary dysfunction of COVID-19 patients during convalescence in this study. This study may provide suggestions for pulmonary rehabilitation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the modulatory effect of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) on voltage-gated sodium currents(VGSCs) in rat caudate nucleus (CN) neurons with kainic acid (KA)-induced injury and explore the molecular mechanism underlying the neuroprotective effect of 2-AG. METHODS Primary cultures of CN neurons isolated from neonatal SD rats were treated with KA, 2-AG+KA, RIM (a CB1 receptor antagonist) +2-AG+KA, or vehicle only (as control).After 7 days in primary culture, the neurons were treated with corresponding agents for 12 h (RIM and 2-AG were added at the same time; KA was added 30 min later) before recording of current density changes, current-voltage characteristics, activation and inactivation kinetics of VGSCs (INa) using whole-cell patch clamp technique. RESULTS In cultured CN neurons, KA significantly increased current density of VGSCs (P=0.009) as compared with vehicle treatment.KA also produced a hyperpolarizing shift in the activation curve of INa and significantly increased the absolute value of V1/2 for activation (P=0.008).Addition of 2-AG in the culture medium obviously prevented KA-induced increase of INa (P=0.009) and hyperpolarizing shift in the activation curve of INa, and significantly reduced the value of V1/2 for activation(P=0.009)in a CB1 receptor-dependent manner.2-AG alone did not affect the density, activation or deactivation of VGSCs in rat CN neurons. CONCLUSION In excitotoxic events, endogenous 2-AG can offer neuroprotection by modulating VGSCs in the CN neurons through a CB1 receptor-dependent pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although high-throughput sequencing is revolutionising medicine, data on the actual cost of whole exome sequencing (WES) applications are needed. We aimed at assessing the cost of WES at a French cancer institute in 2015 and 2018. METHODS Actual costs of WES application in oncology research were determined using both micro-costing and gross-costing for the years 2015 and 2018, before and after the acquisition of a new sequencer. The entire workflow process of a WES test was tracked, and the number and unit price of each resource were identified at the most detailed level, from library preparation to bioinformatics analyses. In addition, we conducted an ad hoc analysis of the bioinformatics storage costs of data issued from WES analyses. RESULTS The cost of WES has decreased substantially, from €1921 per sample (i.e. cost of €3842 per patient) in 2015 to €804 per sample (i.e. cost of €1,608 per patient) in 2018, representing a decrease of 58%. In the meantime, the cost of bioinformatics storage has increased from €19,836 to €200,711. CONCLUSION This study suggests that WES cost has decreased significantly in recent years. WES has become affordable, even though clinical utility and efficiency still need to be confirmed.

Abstract
The development of natural biomass materials with excellent properties is an attractive way to improve the application range of natural polysaccharides. Bagasse Xylan (BX) is a natural polysaccharide with various biological activities, such as antitumor, antioxidant, etc. Its physic-chemical and biological properties can be improved by functionalization. For this purpose, a novel glycidyl metharcylate/phytic acid based on a BX composite derivative was synthesized by a free radical polymerization technique with glycidyl metharcylate (GMA; GMABX) and further esterification with phytic acid (PA; GMABX-PA) in ionic liquid. The effects of the reaction conditions (i.e., temperature, time, initiator concentration, catalyst concentration, GMA concentration, PA concentration, mass of ionic liquid) on grafting rate(G), conversion rate(C) and degree of substitution(DS) are discussed. The structure of the composite material structure was confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR and XRD. SEM confirmed the particle morphology of the composite derivative. The thermal stability of GMABX-PA was determined by TG-DTG. Molecular docking was further performed to study the combination mode of the GMABX-PA into the active site of two lung cancer proteins (5XNV, 2EB2) and a blood cancer protein (2M6N). In addition, tumor cell proliferation inhibition assays for BX, GMABX-PA were carried out using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetraz -olium bromide (MTT) method. The results showed that various reaction conditions exhibited favorable gradient curves, and that a maximum G of 56% for the graft copolymerization and a maximum DS of 0.267 can be achieved. The thermal stability was significantly improved, as demonstrated by the fact that there was still 60% residual at 800 °C. The molecular docking software generated satisfactory results with regard to the evaluated binding energy and combining sites. The inhibition ratio of GMABX-PA on NCI-H460 (lung cancer cells) reached 29.68% ± 4.45%, which is five times higher than that of BX. Therefore, the material was shown to be a potential candidate for biomedical applications as well as for use as a heat resistant material.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has drawn attention for broad applications. We successfully fabricated highly effective SERS structures via evaporation-induced self-assembly of blend nanoparticles containing sliver nanospheres (Ag NSs) and gold nanorods (Au NRs) on a super-hydrophobic (SH) substrate. On the SH substrate, the droplets of the mixed aqueous solution of silver nanospheres (Ag NSs), gold nanorods (Au NRs), and probe molecules can preserve their spherical shape during the evaporation process, and the probe molecules (R6G) are confined into extremely small areas after solvent removal due to hydrophobicity-enhanced concentration effects. The Raman enhancement effect of the blend nanoparticles with 40 vol% Ag NSs is far higher than that of the other samples. The structure of the aggregated Ag NSs on the film-like Au NRs greatly enhances the SERS effect of Ag NSs, which is optimal for the blend system with 40 vol% Ag NSs. The SERS structure also displays excellent signal reproducibility (RSD < 10%) and low detection limits (0.5 nM). Thus, this work offers a simple and efficient strategy to fabricate a highly effective SERS structure with broad applications in environmental science, analytical chemistry, etc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the expression level of circ-DONSON in glioma and to explore its effect on glioma metastasis and the underlying mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to examine circ-DONSON expression in 40 paired glioma tumor tissues and adjacent tissues. Meanwhile, the relation between circ-DONSON level and clinical parameters of glioma and the prognosis of patients was analyzed. The expression of circ-DONSON in glioma cell lines was analyzed by qRT-PCR as well. In addition, circs-DONSON silencing model was constructed in glioma cell lines. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), cell scratch, and transwell migration assays were performed to investigate the effect of circ-DONSON on biological functions of glioma cells. Finally, the interplay between FOXO3 and circ-DONSON was explored. RESULTS QRT-PCR results revealed that the expression level of circ-DONSON in glioma tumor tissues was remarkably higher than that of adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Compared with patients with low expression of circ-DONSON, significantly higher prevalence of lymph node or distant metastasis and worse prognosis were observed in patients with high expression of circ-DONSON (p<0.05). The proliferation and migration abilities of glioma cells in circ-DONSON silenced group were remarkably suppressed when compared with NC group (p<0.05). Additionally, FOXO3 expression was remarkably down-regulated in glioma cell lines and tissues. FOXO3 expression was negatively correlated with circ-DONSON expression. In addition, cell reverse experiment demonstrated that circ-DONSON and FOXO3 can regulate each other, thereby together affecting the malignant progression of glioma. CONCLUSIONS Circ-DONSON was remarkably associated with lymph node or distant metastasis, as well as poor prognosis of patients with glioma. Furthermore, it promoted the metastasis of glioma cells via regulating FOXO3.

Abstract
Flower-like metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOF) nanoparticles are successfully synthesized and incorporated into cellulose acetate (CA) matrix to prepare CA-based functional nanocomposite films via a simple solution-casting method. The effect of the incorporation of flower-like Cu-MOF on the morphological, mechanical, thermal, surface wettability, water vapor barrier, cytotoxicity, photostability and UV-shielding properties of CA films is fully investigated. Results reveal that the flower-like Cu-MOF has good compatibility with CA, providing uniform and compact nanocomposite films. The as-prepared nanocomposite films show improved mechanical properties, surface hydrophobicity, water vapor barrier ability compared to neat CA film, and exhibit super UV-shielding capability through the entire UV regions meanwhile retaining a high visible transparency. Moreover, the high transparency and UV-shielding ability of the nanocomposite films can be still maintained even after continuous UV-light (365 nm) irradiation for 12 h. In addition, MTT cytotoxicity assays towards normal human liver cells (HL-7702) reveal high cell viability (over 80%) and good biocompatibility for the CA/Cu-MOF nanocomposite films. These results indicate that the CA/Cu-MOF nanocomposite films with obviously improved physical and functional performances hold significant potential for transparent packaging and UV-protection applications.

Abstract
In this work we propose to identify the relative role of the inclination of gravitational acceleration and friction on the discharge flow rate of a granular media from a rectangular silo by varying the silo geometry thanks to an inclined bottom which ends up at a lateral outlet. The study is motivated by a nuclear safety problem: a fuel rod (modeled by an elongated silo) accidentally releases fuel fragments (modeled by grains). We performed experiments where we independently measured the mass flow rate and the velocity profiles, together with discrete particle simulations and continuum simulations with a frictional rheology described by a μ(I) constitutive law and taking into account the wall friction. We study monolayer flows and three-dimensional flows, and we propose an analytical model that predicts the discharge flow rate of particles from a rectangular silo with an inclined bottom according to its outlet aspect ratio and the bottom inclination angle.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the short- and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted and laparoscopic radical resection for mid-low rectal cancer. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 130 patients with mid-low rectal cancer (inclusion criteria: age > 18 or ≤80 years old; pathological diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma by colonoscopy; distance from tumor to the anal verge ≤12 cm; no distant metastasis; cT1-3N0-1 or ycT1-3 after neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy; suitable for laparoscopic and robotic surgery) at the Department of Colorectal Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from October 2016 to September 2018 were prospectively enrolled. According to computer-generated random number method, patients were randomly divided into the robot group (n=66) and laparoscopy group (n=64), and underwent robot-assisted surgery or laparoscopic surgery respectively. Clinicopathological data of all the patients were collected and analyzed. The demographic parameters, short- and long-term outcomes were compared between two groups. Results: One patient in robot group whose postoperative sample was diagnosed as rectal adenoma by pathology was excluded. There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, BMI, ASA classification, distance from tumor to the anal verge, serum CEA level, CA199 level between two groups (all P>0.05). Operations were successfully performed in all the patients without conversion to open operation. Robotic surgery was found to be associated with less intraoperative blood loss than laparoscopic surgery [(73.4±49.7) ml vs. (119.1±65.7) ml, t=-4.461, P<0.001], while there were no statistically significant differences in surgical procedures, operation time, time to first flatus, time to first liquid intake, time to removal of catheter or postoperative hospital stay between two groups (all P>0.05). Besides, there was no significant difference in the morbidity of postoperative complication between two groups [10.8% (7/65) vs. 12.5 (8/64), χ(2)=4.342, P=0.720]. The median number of harvested lymph node in the robot group and the laparoscopy group was 15.7±6.2 and 13.8±6.1 (t=1.724, P=0.087). There were no significant differences between two groups in tumor sample length, distance between proximal and distal resection margin, integrity grade of TME specimen, number of positive lymph nodes, postoperative pathological stage and tumor differentiation (all P>0.05). The distal resection margin of samples in two groups was all negative. One case in the robot group was found to have positive circumferential resection margin. The median follow up was 24 (9 to 31) months. In the robot group and the laparoscopy group, the 2-year overall survival rate was 95.4% and 90.6% respectively; the 2-year disease-free survival rate was 90.8% and 85.9% respectively, whose differences were not significant (both P>0.05). Conclusion: Robot-assisted radical resection for mid-low rectal cancer can achieve similar short-term and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic resection, while robot-assisted surgery can decrease blood loss during operation, leading to more precise practice in minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to arsenic may result in the manifestation of damage in multiple organs or systems of the body. Arsenic-induced renal dysfunction has been determined, but their pathogenesis has not been fully examined. In this study, we measured the expression levels of miR-191 in plasma, the contents of pro-inflammatory (interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha) and anti-inflammatory (IL-2 and transforming growth factor beta) cytokines, and renal dysfunction indicators (blood urea nitrogen, blood creatinine, uric acid, and cystatin C) in serum from control and arsenic poisoning populations and analyzed the relationship between the miR-191, cytokines, and renal dysfunction indicators. The results clearly show the alteration of miR-191 expression was significantly associated with arsenic-induced renal dysfunction. Overall, the association of miR-191, inflammatory response and renal dysfunction, is clearly supported by the current findings. In other words, miR-191 is involved in renal dysfunction in exposed populations by regulating inflammatory response caused by coal-burning arsenic. The study provides a scientific basis for further studies of the causes of the arsenic-induced renal dysfunction, the biological role of miR-191, and targeted prevention strategies.

Abstract
Metal–organic framework (HKUST-1) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized, and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/HKUST-1 nanocomposite films were fabricated by a simple solution casting method. Our results showed that the addition of HKUST-1 caused a remarkable enhancement in both thermal stability and mechanical properties of the PVA nanocomposites, due to the homogeneous distribution of HKUST-1 and the strong interfacial interactions between PVA and HKUST-1. With incorporation of 2 wt% HKUST-1, the degradation temperature of the nanocomposites was about 33 °C higher than that of pure PVA. At the same time, the Young's modulus and tensile strength of the nanocomposites was approximately 137% and 32% higher than those of pure PVA, respectively. Moreover, the PVA/HKUST-1 nanocomposites also showed strikingly enhanced UV-shielding ability as well as satisfactory visible light transmittance, which revealed that HKUST-1 nanoparticles could act as a good UV absorber in nanocomposites. This work provides a novel and simple method for producing UV-shielding materials with simultaneously enhanced thermal and mechanical properties, which have potential applications in UV protection areas. PVA/HKUST-1 nanocomposites prepared by a simple solution casting method displayed significantly enhanced thermal stability, mechanical and UV-shielding properties.![]()

Abstract
Serine protease cascade-mediated melanization is an important innate immune response in insects and crustaceans, which involves the proteolytic activation of prophenoloxidase (PPO). In this study, we investigated the role of Aedes aegypti PPO3 in antifungal immune defence. We expressed and purified recombinant PPO3 (rPPO3) in Escherichia coli and demonstrated that rPPO3 was activated by ethanol and, to a lesser extent, by cetylpyridinium chloride. In the presence of Cu2+ , rPPO3 exhibited enzyme activity. Immunoblot results revealed that the rPPO3 was cleaved by the haemolymph from immune-challenged mosquitoes or purified Ostrinia furnacalis serine protease 105 in vitro. The cleaved rPPO3 converted dopamine to toxic intermediates that killed fungal conidia of Beauveria bassiana in vitro. In mosquitoes challenged with Be. bassiana, cleavage of rPPO3 produced a 50 kDa phenoloxidase (PO) fragment. Further analysis revealed that the survival rate of mosquitoes with fungal infection increased significantly following injection of rPPO3 into the haemocoel. Taken together, our results suggest that proteolytic cleavage of the mosquito PPO3 plays an important role in the antifungal immune response. This has led to a better understanding of the mechanism of PPO activation in the mosquito and the role of melanization in the antifungal immune response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa zea are major caterpillar pests of Old and New World agriculture, respectively. Both, particularly H. armigera, are extremely polyphagous, and H. armigera has developed resistance to many insecticides. Here we use comparative genomics, transcriptomics and resequencing to elucidate the genetic basis for their properties as pests. RESULTS We find that, prior to their divergence about 1.5 Mya, the H. armigera/H. zea lineage had accumulated up to more than 100 more members of specific detoxification and digestion gene families and more than 100 extra gustatory receptor genes, compared to other lepidopterans with narrower host ranges. The two genomes remain very similar in gene content and order, but H. armigera is more polymorphic overall, and H. zea has lost several detoxification genes, as well as about 50 gustatory receptor genes. It also lacks certain genes and alleles conferring insecticide resistance found in H. armigera. Non-synonymous sites in the expanded gene families above are rapidly diverging, both between paralogues and between orthologues in the two species. Whole genome transcriptomic analyses of H. armigera larvae show widely divergent responses to different host plants, including responses among many of the duplicated detoxification and digestion genes. CONCLUSIONS The extreme polyphagy of the two heliothines is associated with extensive amplification and neofunctionalisation of genes involved in host finding and use, coupled with versatile transcriptional responses on different hosts. H. armigera's invasion of the Americas in recent years means that hybridisation could generate populations that are both locally adapted and insecticide resistant.

Abstract
An ultra-low-frequency platform leveling loop based on a mixed sensitivity H∞ approach, which considers both the system bandwidth and response speed, was designed and applied to a prototype, two-axis gyro-stabilized platform marine gravimeter CHZ-II. The instrument was developed for regional surveys in deep ocean areas where high-resolution gravity measurements with accuracy 1 mGal are required. Horizontal accelerations in the surge and sway directions are suppressed about 60 dB in the frequency range 0.05 to 0.5 Hz. This typically improves the quality of the gravity data before any processing corrections. The time required for stabilizing the platform at the beginning of a survey line or course change is about 3 min, which improves the data collection efficiency. In May 2015, the first test was conducted in open sea conditions aboard the Chinese State Oceanic Administration's R/V Xiangyanghong 10. Sixteen traverses were run in the South China Sea to evaluate the loop performance. Platform motion tracks and gravity data from the survey were of satisfactory quality. According to analyses of 16 sets of calculated errors, the root mean square repeatability of the pitch and roll off-level angles were less than 10 and 20 arc sec, respectively, with a horizontal acceleration of about 50 Gal. Errors derived from the inability of the platform to maintain perfect sensor leveling during the survey cruise were less than 0.3 mGal.
