Abstract
Background The treatment strategy for stage II rectal mucinous adenocarcinoma (RMA) recommends neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCR) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME). However, the necessity of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) remains controversial. Materials and methods Chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between pathological classification, AC and clinicopathological characteristics. Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves and the log-rank test were utilized to analyze differences in overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) among different groups. Cox regression identified prognostic factors. Nomogram was established utilizing the independent prognostic factors. X-tile divided patients into three risk subgroups. Results Compared to RMA, rectal adenocarcinoma (RA) demonstrates longer OS and CSS in all and non-AC stage II patients, with no difference in OS and CSS for AC stage II patients. Propensity score matching analyses yielded similar results. Stratified analysis found that AC both improve OS of RA and RMA patients. Age, gender, pathologic T stage, regional nodes examined, and tumor size were identified as independent prognostic factors for RMA patients without AC. A nomogram was constructed to generate risk scores and categorize RMA patients into three subgroups based on these scores. KM curves revealed AC benefits for moderate and high-risk groups but not for the low-risk group. The external validation cohort yielded similar results. Conclusions In summary, our study suggests that, compared to stage II RA patients, stage II RMA patients benefit more from AC after NCR. AC is recommended for moderate and high-risk stage II RMA patients after NCR, whereas low-risk patients do not require AC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of CIA-II has been clarified in several types of tumors; however, whether dysregulated CIA-II expression is also involved in the pathophysiology of lower-grade glioma (LGG) remains undisclosed. METHODS A comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of the expression patterns and prognostic significance of CIA-II in miscellaneous tumors was undertaken. Subsequently, a detailed bioinformatics analysis was executed to identify putative correlations between CIA-II expression and clinical features, prognosis, biological functions, immunological characteristics, genomic alterations, and chemotherapeutics in LGG. In vitro studies were implemented to examine the potential roles of CIA-II in LGG. RESULTS CIA-II expression was found to be abnormally elevated in a variety of tumors, including LGG. Additionally, patients with LGG with higher CIA-II expression owned worse prognosis. Importantly, the results declared that CIA-II expression was an independent prognostic indicator for LGG. Moreover, the expression of CIA-II was tightly interrelated with immune cell infiltration, gene mutations, and chemotherapeutics in LGG. In vitro studies revealed that CIA-II was increased and strongly related to the cell proliferation in LGG. CONCLUSION CIA-II may be an independent prognostic factor and a serviceable therapeutic target in LGG.

Abstract
The number of patients with bone defects caused by various bone diseases is increasing yearly in the aging population, and people are paying increasing attention to bone tissue engineering research. Currently, the application of bone tissue engineering mainly focuses on promoting fracture healing by carrying cytokines. However, cytokines implanted into the body easily cause an immune response, and the cost is high; therefore, the clinical treatment effect is not outstanding. In recent years, some scholars have proposed the concept of tissue-induced biomaterials that can induce bone regeneration through a scaffold structure without adding cytokines. By optimizing the scaffold structure, the performance of tissue-engineered bone scaffolds is improved and the osteogenesis effect is promoted, which provides ideas for the design and improvement of tissue-engineered bones in the future. In this study, the current understanding of the bone tissue structure is summarized through the discussion of current bone tissue engineering, and the current research on micro-nano bionic structure scaffolds and their osteogenesis mechanism is analyzed and discussed.

The involvement of the phenylpropanoid and jasmonate pathways in methyl jasmonate-induced soft rot resistance in kiwifruit ( Actinidia chinensis). Front Plant Sci 2022; 13:1097733.

Abstract
Botryosphaeria dothidea is a major postharvest causal agent of soft rot in kiwifruit. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is an important plant hormone that participates as a plant defense against pathogens from a signal molecule. However, the impact and regulatory mechanism of MeJA on the attenuation of kiwifruit fungal decay remains unknown. This work investigated the effects of exogenous MeJA on the enzyme activity, metabolite content and gene expression of the phenylpropanoid and jasmonate pathways in kiwifruit. The results revealed that MeJA inhibited the expansion of B. dothidea lesion diameter in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis cv. 'Hongyang'), enhanced the activity of enzymes (phenylalanine ammonia lyase, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, 4-coumarate: coenzyme A ligase, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase), and upregulated the expression of related genes (AcPAL, AcC4H, Ac4CL, and AcCAD). The accumulation of metabolites (total phenolics, flavonoids, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and lignin) with inhibitory effects on pathogens was promoted. Moreover, MeJA enhanced the expression of AcLOX, AcAOS, AcAOC, AcOPR3, AcJAR1, AcCOI1 and AcMYC2 and reduced the expression of AcJAZ. These results suggest that MeJA could display a better performance in enhancing the resistance of disease in kiwifruit by regulating the phenylpropanoid pathway and jasmonate pathway.
