Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary rationality and health concept have certain influence on individual health level. This study aims to explore the characteristics and existing problems of Chinese residents' health behaviors from both macro and micro perspectives, and explore the feasibility and realization path of Healthy China strategy. METHODS We utilized regression models to evaluate the correlation between diet and the risk of disease causes of death. By use of the linear regression analysis model, we distinguished the impact of each dimension on health literacy index at the individual level. Then, we explored the influential factors of the diet health index using the binary logit regression model. RESULTS Increased consumption of animal-derived foods in China has contributed to the burden of non-communicable diseases. The individuals' health awareness is still weak, and the health literacy index is greatly affected by the diet, while the individual gender and age are positively correlated with the diet health index, and the individual body mass index (BMI) level is negatively correlated with the diet health index. CONCLUSIONS This study provided a comprehensive understanding of existing problems of Chinese residents' health behaviors. We have proposed a path model for the implementation of the Healthy China strategy from the perspectives of "diet health, physical health, conceptual health and environmental health," which is also a great contribution to the world.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver fibrosis is a compensatory response during the tissue repair process in chronic liver injury, and finally leads to liver cirrhosis or even hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis is associated with the progressive accumulation of activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which can transdifferentiate into myofibroblasts to produce an excess of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Myofibroblasts are the main source of the excessive ECM responsible for hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs), the principal ECM producing cells in the injured liver, are a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis. AIM To explore the effect of taurine on aHSC proliferation and the mechanisms involved. METHODS Human HSCs (LX-2) were randomly divided into five groups: Normal control group, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) (20 ng/mL) treated group, and low, medium, and high dosage of taurine (10 mmol/L, 50 mmol/L, and 100 mmol/L, respectively) with PDGF-BB (20 ng/mL) treated group. Cell Counting Kit-8 method was performed to evaluate the effect of taurine on the viability of aHSCs. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to estimate the effect of taurine on the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde, glutathione, and iron concentration. Transmission electron microscopy was applied to observe the effect of taurine on the autophagosomes and ferroptosis features in aHSCs. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were performed to detect the effect of taurine on the expression of α-SMA, Collagen I, Fibronectin 1, LC3B, ATG5, Beclin 1, PTGS2, SLC7A11, and p62. RESULTS Taurine promoted the death of aHSCs and reduced the deposition of the ECM. Treatment with taurine could alleviate autophagy in HSCs to inhibit their activation, by decreasing autophagosome formation, downregulating LC3B and Beclin 1 protein expression, and upregulating p62 protein expression. Meanwhile, treatment with taurine triggered ferroptosis and ferritinophagy to eliminate aHSCs characterized by iron overload, lipid ROS accumulation, glutathione depletion, and lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that taurine had a direct targeting effect on nuclear receptor coactivator 4, exhibiting the best average binding affinity of -20.99 kcal/mol. CONCLUSION Taurine exerts therapeutic effects on liver fibrosis via mechanisms that involve inhibition of autophagy and trigger of ferroptosis and ferritinophagy in HSCs to eliminate aHSCs.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) could provide vector for microorganisms to form biofilm (plastisphere), but the shaping process of MPs biofilm and its effects on the structure and function of sedimentary microbial communities especially in aquaculture environments are not reported. For this, we incubated MPs biofilm in situ in an aquaculture pond and established a sediment microcosm with plastisphere. We found that the formation of MPs biofilm in surface water was basically stable after 30 d incubation, but the biofilm communities were reshaped after deposition for another 30 d, because they were more similar to plastisphere communities incubated directly within sediment but not surface water. Moreover, microbial communities of MPs-contaminated sediment were altered, which was mainly driven by the biofilm communities present on MPs, because they but not sediment communities in proximity to MPs had a more pronounced separation from the control sediment communities. In the presence of MPs, increased sediment nitrification, denitrification and N2O production rates were observed. The K00371 (NO2-⇋NO3-) pathway and elevated abundance of nxrB and narH genes were screened by metagenomic analysis. Based on structural equation model, two key bacteria (Alphaproteobacteria bacterium and Rhodobacteraceae bacterium) associated with N2O production were further identified. Overall, the settling of MPs could reshape the original biofilm and promote N2O production by selectively elevating sedimental microorganisms and functional genes in aquaculture pond.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to construct prediction models for the recognizing of anxiety disorders (AD) in patients with epilepsy (PWEs) by combining clinical features with quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) features and using machine learning (ML). METHODS Nineteen clinical features and 20-min resting-state EEG were collected from 71 PWEs comorbid with AD and another 60 PWEs without AD who met the inclusion-exclusion criteria of this study. The EEG were preprocessed and 684 Phase Locking Value (PLV) and 76 Lempel-Ziv Complexity (LZC) features on four bands were extracted. The Fisher score method was used to rank all the derived features. We constructed four models for recognizing AD in PWEs, whether PWEs based on different combinations of features using eXtreme gradient boosting (XGboost) and evaluated these models using the five-fold cross-validation method. RESULTS The prediction model constructed by combining the clinical, PLV, and LZC features showed the best performance, with an accuracy of 96.18%, precision of 94.29%, sensitivity of 98.33%, F1-score of 96.06%, and Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.96. The Fisher score ranking results displayed that the top ten features were depression, educational attainment, α_P3LZC, α_T6-PzPLV, α_F7LZC, β_Fp2-O1PLV, θ_T4-CzPLV, θ_F7-PzPLV, α_Fp2LZC, and θ_T4-PzPLV. CONCLUSIONS The model, constructed by combining the clinical and qEEG features PLV and LZC, efficiently identified the presence of AD comorbidity in PWEs and might have the potential to complement the clinical diagnosis. Our findings suggest that LZC features in the α band and PLV features in Fp2-O1 may be potential biomarkers for diagnosing AD in PWEs.

Abstract
Microplastic pollution has been frequently reported in natural water environments, but studies on the occurrence and characteristics of microplastic in aquaculture environments especially in pond production system are relatively scarce. Herein, we investigated the abundance and characteristics of microplastic pollution in aquaculture ponds that farm different species (fish, prawn and crab) near the Yangtze Estuary, China. The average abundance of microplastic in pond water and sediment was 36.25 ± 6.79 items/L and 271.65 ± 164.83 items/kg, respectively. Compared to fish ponds (208.43 ± 57.82 items/kg), microplastic abundance was significantly higher in sediment of crab and prawn ponds (312.02 ± 38.76 and 248.87 ± 36.51 items/kg respectively). Across all ponds, transparent, white and black microplastic were the common colors. Fiber was the most common type, accounting for 40.9% and 58.6% in pond water and sediment, respectively. The size of microplastic was mainly distributed between 300 and 1000 μm. For microplastic polymer composition, polyethylene (PE) was predominant in pond water, accounting for 55%, followed by polyamide with 15%. The predominant polymer in sediment was PE with 34%, followed by polypropylene with 18%. As for the ecological risk assessment of microplastic, the pollution load index was 7.6 (risk level I) and 8.9 (risk level I) for pond water and sediment, respectively. The polymer hazard index was 85.3 (risk level II) and 12.1 (risk level II) for pond water and sediment, respectively. Taken together, the pollution risk index was rated as high and very high for pond sediment and water, respectively. These results provide a basis for the comprehensive evaluation and developing practical approaches to deal with microplastic in aquaculture pond, which is of great significance to the healthy development of pond aquaculture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anxiety disorders (AD) are critical factors that significantly (about one-fifth) impact the quality of life (QoL) in patients with epilepsy (PWE). Objective diagnostic methods have contributed to the identification of PWE susceptible to AD. This study aimed to identify AD in PWE by constructing a diagnostic model based on the phase locking value (PLV) and Lempel-Ziv Complexity (LZC) features of the electroencephalogram (EEG). METHODS EEG data from 131 patients with epilepsy (PWE) were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into two groups, anxiety disorder (AD, n = 61) and non-anxiety disorder (NAD, n = 70), according to the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A). Support vector machine (SVM) and K-Nearest-Neighbor(KNN) algorithms were used to construct three models - the PLVEEG, LZCEEG, and PLVEEG + LZCEEG feature models. Finally, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the model performance. RESULTS The efficiency of the KNN-based PLCEEG + LZCEEG feature model was the best, and the accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC of the model after five-fold cross-validations scores were 87.89 %, 82.27 %, 98.33 %, 88.95 %, and 0.89, respectively. When the model efficiency was optimal, 29 EEG features were suggested. Further analysis of these features indicated 22 EEG features that were significantly different between the two groups, including 50 % features of the alpha (α)-band. CONCLUSIONS The PLVEEG + LZCEEG model features can identify AD in PWE. The PLVEEG and LZCEEG characteristics of the α-band may further be explored as potential biomarkers for AD in PWE.

Abstract
Cyclic azobenzene-BODIPY hybrids were synthesized via cyclization by 1) acid-catalysed condensation of azobenzene-bridged dipyrroles with 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzaldehyde, 2) oxidation with DDQ, and 3) metalation with BF3 ⋅ Et2 O. The structures of many cyclic hybrids have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The absorption spectra of the hybrids reveal the effective cyclic conjugation. The ultrafast measurements reveal that the photoexcited decays of these cyclic hybrids depend upon the ring size and connectivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a common disease with high mortality, and psychological support is very important in the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative patients with cancer pain. AIM To explore the application effect of the narrative nursing method in postoperative lung cancer patients in the intensive care unit. METHODS A total of 120 patients diagnosed with lung cancer and experiencing cancer-related pain were randomly allocated into two groups: an observation group and a control group, each consisting of 60 cases. The control group was given routine analgesic and psychological care, while the research group applied the five-step narrative nursing method based on routine care, comparing the visual analogue scale scores, sleep status, anxiety and depression status, and quality of life of the two groups of patients before and after the intervention. RESULTS The pain scores, anxiety scores, and depression scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group after the intervention using the narrative nursing method, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Using narrative nursing methods to intervene in patients with lung cancer combined with cancerous pain can help patients to correctly recognize their disease, adjust their mentality, establish confidence, alleviate patients' subjective pain feelings, and improve their adverse emotions.

Abstract
Discus fish (Symphysodon aequifasciatus) exhibit a unique parental care behavior: adult discus produces secretion through their skin, on which the larvae live after birth. The immune components in the skin mucus of parental discus would change during different parental care. C-type lectins (CTLs) could identify and eliminate pathogenic microorganisms and play important roles in innate immunity. Studies on CTLs of discus fish especially during parental care, however, are scarce. Here, we identified 186 CTL genes that distributed in 27 linkage groups based on discus genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that S. aequifasciatus CTL (SaCTL) members were grouped into 14 subfamilies. A total of 80 gene replication events occurred, of which 15 pairs were subjected to segmental duplication and 65 pairs underwent tandem duplication. Ka/Ks ranged from 0.11 (SaCTL25/SaCTL158) to 0.68 (SaCTL36/SaCTL69), all undergoing purifying selection. RNA-seq analysis revealed that SaCTL members, including duplicated genes, in the skin of parental discus show distinct expression patterns in different care stages and between male and female parents. The SaCTL11 was differentially expressed in most care stages and reached the maximum after eggs spawned, but the expression of its paired SaCTL14 was low in each stage. The SaCTL39 increased first and then decreased, reaching a peak in eggs spawned, while paired SaCTL48 first decreased and then increased, reaching a peak in hatched eggs. The SaCTL50 was differentially expressed only in female fish during care, but not in male fish. These results provide new insights into the evolution and potential functional differentiation of CTLs in discus fish during parental care.

Abstract
Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the leading gynecological cancer worldwide, yet current EC screening approaches are not satisfying. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the feasibility and capability of DNA methylation analysis in cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) brush samples for EC detection. Methods: We used quantitative methylation-sensitive PCR (qMS-PCR) to determine the methylation status of candidate genes in EC tissue samples, as well as cervical Pap brushes. The ability of RASSF1A and HIST1H4F to serve as diagnostic markers for EC was then examined in cervical Pap brush samples from women with endometrial lesions of varying degrees of severity. Results: Methylated RASSF1A and HIST1H4F were found in EC tissues. Further, methylation of the two genes was also observed in cervical Pap smear samples from EC patients. Methylation levels of RASSF1A and HIST1H4F increased as endometrial lesions progressed, and cervical Pap brush samples from women affected by EC exhibited significantly higher levels of methylated RASSF1A and HIST1H4F compared to noncancerous controls (P < .001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) analyses revealed RASSF1A and HIST1H4F methylation with a combined AUC of 0.938 and 0.951 for EC/pre-EC detection in cervical Pap brush samples, respectively. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that DNA methylation analysis in cervical Pap brush samples may be helpful for EC detection, broadening the scope of the commonly used cytological screening. Our proof-of-concept study provides new insights into the field of clinical EC diagnosis.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant type of brain tumor with limited treatment options. Recent research has focused on epigenetic regulatory factors, such as Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2), which plays a role in gene expression through epigenetic modifications. EZH2 inhibitors have been developed as potential therapeutic agents for GBM, but resistance to these inhibitors remains a considerable challenge. This study aimed to investigate the role of ribosomal S6 protein kinase 4 (RSK4) in GBM and its association with resistance to EZH2 inhibitors. We first induced drug resistance in primary GBM cell lines by treatment with an EZH2 inhibitor and observed increases in the expression of stemness markers associated with glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) in the drug-resistant cells. We also found high expression of RSK4 in GBM patient samples and identified the correlation of high RSK4 expression with poor prognosis and GSC marker expression. Further experiments showed that knocking down RSK4 in drug-resistant GBM cells restored their sensitivity to EZH2 inhibitors and decreased the expression of GSC markers, thus reducing their self-renewal capacity. From a mechanistic perspective, we discovered that RSK4 directly phosphorylates EZH2, activating the EZH2/STAT3 pathway and promoting resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in GBM. We also found that combining EZH2 inhibitors with an RSK4 inhibitor called BI-D1870 had better inhibitory effects on GBM occurrence and progression in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that RSK4 enhances cancer stemness and mediates resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in GBM. Combination treatment with EZH2 inhibitors and RSK4 inhibitors is a promising potential therapeutic strategy for GBM. Collectively, our results strongly demonstrate that RSK4 regulates the EZH2/STAT3 pathway to promote GSC maintenance and EZH2i resistance in a PRC2-independent manner, indicating that RSK4 is a promising therapeutic target for GBM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study explored the mechanism of squamous cervical cancer (SCC) progression. METHODS Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to evaluate the expression of myosin light chain 9 (MYL9) in SCC tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, Transwell and Boyden assays were used to assess the function of MYL9 in SCC progression. In addition, the levels of lactate and aerobic glycolysis were used to explore the detailed mechanism of MYL9 in SCC. RESULTS The mRNA and protein levels of MYL9 were elevated in SCC tissues, and MYL9 knockdown inhibited the migration and invasion of SCC cell lines. A mechanistic study demonstrated that MYL9 promotes SCC migration and invasion by enhancing aerobic glycolysis and increasing the activity of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. CONCLUSIONS MYL9 was upregulated in SCC, and it enhanced JAK2/STAT3 pathway activity and promoted metastasis and glycolysis in SCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Efforts to overcome treatment resistance in glioblastoma (GBM) have been unsuccessful due to tumor heterogeneity and poor intracranial drug penetration. Targeting altered metabolism is a promising approach to improve GBM therapy despite this heterogeneity. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an inhibitor of purine synthesis that sensitizes GBM to radiation and temozolomide (TMZ) in vitro and in vivo, but its ability to cross the blood brain barrier and inhibit GBM metabolism in patients is unknown. NCT04477200 is a phase 0/1 dose escalation study of MMF combined with radiation and temozolomide in GBM. Here we report the phase 0 results of this study assessing the intracranial activity of MMF. MATERIALS/METHODS Purine (GTP and IMP) and mycophenolic acid (MPA, the active metabolite of MMF) concentrations were determined using mass spectrometry in flash-frozen tumor (enhancing and non-enhancing) and normal cortex obtained from 8 patients with recurrent GBM who received MMF (500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg BID, N = 2 patients each dose level) for 1 week prior to re-resection and 5 control patients who did not receive MMF prior to re-resection. Plasma MPA concentration was similarly quantified to calculate the enhancing tumor, non-enhancing tumor and normal cortex to plasma MPA ratios. RESULTS Patients who received MMF had a mean MPA concentration of 2.2 ± 0.7 µM in the enhancing tumor samples, 1.2 ± 0.5 µM in the non-enhancing tumor samples and 1.3 ± 0.5 µM in normal cortex. MPA concentration was negligible in control patients. This corresponded to tissue/plasma MPA ratios of 0.31, 0.17 and 0.10 for enhancing tumor, non-enhancing tumor and normal cortex, respectively. The GTP/IMP ratio was decreased by 75% in enhancing tumor in MMF-treated patients compared to untreated controls (p = 0.009), indicating effective target engagement and inhibition of purine synthesis. The GTP/IMP ratio was also decreased in cortex and non-enhancing tumor, though a paucity of control samples prevented statistical analysis. CONCLUSION Twice daily MMF treatment yields intracranial drug concentrations above 1 µM and lowers the GTP/IMP ratio in GBMs, consistent with target engagement. As we have previously observed radiosensitization in vitro with MPA concentrations of 1 µM, these data suggest that MMF may achieve adequate CNS penetration for therapeutic benefit. The Phase 1 component of this study to determine the dose limiting toxicity and maximally tolerated dose of MMF when combined with reirradiation in recurrent GBM and radiation and TMZ in newly diagnosed GBM is ongoing.

Abstract
Defects passivation is widely devoted to improving the performance of formamidinium lead triiodide perovskite solar cells; however, the effect of various defects on the α-phase stability is still unclear. Here, using density functional theory, we first reveal the degradation pathway of the formamidinium lead triiodide perovskite from α to δ phase and investigate the effect of various defects on the energy barrier of phase transition. The simulation results predict that iodine vacancies are most likely to trigger the degradation, since they obviously reduce the energy barrier of α-to-δ phase transition and have the lowest formation energies at the perovskite surface. A water-insoluble lead oxalate compact layer is introduced on the perovskite surface to largely suppress the α-phase collapse through hindering the iodine migration and volatilization. Furthermore, this strategy largely reduces the interfacial nonradiative recombination and boosts the efficiency of the solar cells to 25.39% (certified 24.92%). Unpackaged device can maintain 92% of its initial efficiency after operation at maximum power point under simulated air mass 1.5 G irradiation for 550 h.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy affecting many people worldwide. Baicalin is a flavonoid extracted from the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. It can effectively inhibit the occurrence and development of HCC. Nonetheless, the mechanism through which Baicalin inhibits HCC growth and metastasis remain unknown. This work discovered that Baicalin inhibited HCC cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis while inducing cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase and apoptosis. In vivo HCC xenograft results indicated that Baicalin inhibited HCC growth. Western blotting analysis indicated that Baicalin suppressed the expressions of ROCK1, p-GSK-3β, and β-catenin, whereas it up-regulated the expressions of GSK-3β and p-β-catenin. Baicalin also reduced the expressions of Bcl-2, C-myc, Cyclin D1, MMP-9, and VEGFA, while increasing the expression of Bax. Molecular docking revealed that Baicalin docked in the binding site of the ROCK1 agonist, with a binding energy of -9 kcal/mol between the two. In addition, lentivirus-mediated suppression of ROCK1 expression improved the inhibitory effect of Baicalin on the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of HCC and the expression of proteins associated with ROCK1/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway. Moreover, restoring ROCK1 expression decreased the anti-HCC efficacy of Baicalin. These findings suggest that Baicalin may decrease HCC proliferation and metastasis by suppressing ROCK1/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
Coat color is an important phenotypic characteristic of the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and has specific economic importance in the Rex rabbit industry. Coat color varies considerably among different populations of rabbits, and several causal genes for this variation have been thoroughly studied. Nevertheless, the candidate genes affecting coat color variation in Chinese Rex rabbits remained to be investigated. In this study, we collected blood samples from 250 Chinese Rex rabbits with six different coat colors. We performed genome sequencing using a restriction site-associated DNA sequencing approach. A total of 91,546 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), evenly distributed among 21 autosomes, were identified. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed using a mixed linear model, in which the individual polygenic effect was fitted as a random effect. We detected a total of 24 significant SNPs that were located within a genomic region on chromosome 4 (OCU4). After re-fitting the most significant SNP (OCU4:13,434,448, p = 1.31e-12) as a covariate, another near-significant SNP (OCU4:11,344,946, p = 7.03e-07) was still present. Hence, we conclude that the 2.1-Mb genomic region located between these two significant SNPs is significantly associated with coat color in Chinese Rex rabbits. The well-studied coat-color-associated agouti signaling protein (ASIP) gene is located within this region. Furthermore, low genetic differentiation was also observed among the six coat color varieties. In conclusion, our results confirmed that ASIP is a putative causal gene affecting coat color variation in Chinese Rex rabbits.

Abstract
The treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) remains a substantial challenge due to excessive inflammation, massive cell death, and restricted regenerative potential, leading to maladaptive healing process and eventually heart failure. Current strategies of regulating inflammation or improving cardiac tissue regeneration have limited success. Herein, a hybrid hydrogel coassembled by acellular cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) and immunomodulatory glycopeptide is developed for endogenous tissue regeneration after MI. The hydrogel constructs a niche recapitulating the architecture of native ECM for attracting host cell homing, controlling macrophage differentiation via glycopeptide unit, and promoting endotheliocyte proliferation by enhancing the macrophage-endotheliocyte crosstalk, which coordinate the innate healing mechanism for cardiac tissue regeneration. In a rodent MI model, the hybrid hydrogel successfully orchestrates a proreparative response indicated by enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, increased angiogenesis, and improved cardiomyocyte survival, which alleviates infarct size, improves wall thicknesses, and enhances cardiac contractility. Furthermore, the safety and effectiveness of the hydrogel are demonstrated in a porcine MI model, wherein proteomics verifies the regulation of immune response, proangiogenesis, and accelerated healing process. Collectively, the injectable composite hydrogel serving as an immunomodulatory niche for promoting cell homing and proliferation, inflammation modulation, tissue remodeling, and function restoration provides an effective strategy for endogenous cardiac repair.

Abstract
The emergence of the Ediacara biota soon after the Gaskiers glaciation ca. 580 million years ago (Ma) implies a possible glacial fuse for the evolution of animals. However, the timing of Ediacaran glaciation remains controversial because of poor age constraints on the ∼30 Ediacaran glacial deposits known worldwide. In addition, paleomagnetic constraints and a lack of convincing Snowball-like cap carbonates indicate that Ediacaran glaciations likely did not occur at low latitudes. Thus, reconciling the global occurrences without global glaciation remains a paradox. Here, we report that the large amplitude, globally synchronous ca. 571-562 Ma Shuram carbon isotope excursion occurs below the Ediacaran Hankalchough glacial deposit in Tarim, confirming a post-Shuram glaciation. Leveraging paleomagnetic evidence for a ∼90° reorientation of all continents due to true polar wander, and a non-Snowball condition that rules out low-latitude glaciations, we use paleogeographic reconstructions to further constrain glacial ages. Our results depict a 'Great Ediacaran Glaciation' occurring diachronously but continuously from ca. 580-560 Ma as different continents migrated through polar-temperate latitudes. The succession of radiation, turnover and extinction of the Ediacara biota strongly reflects glacial-deglacial dynamics.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) exposure generally triggers oxidative stress in fish species and vertebrate pigmentation is commonly influenced by oxidative stress, but MPs-induced oxidative stress on fish pigmentation and body color phenotype has not been reported. The aim of this study is to determine whether astaxanthin could mitigate the oxidative stress caused by MPs but at the expense of reduced skin pigmentation in fish. Here, we induced oxidative stress in discus fish (red skin color) by 40 or 400 items/L MPs under both astaxanthin (ASX) deprivation and supplementation. We found that lightness (L*) and redness (a*) values of fish skin were significantly inhibited by MPs under ASX deprivation. Moreover, MPs exposure significantly reduced ASX deposition in fish skin. The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in fish liver and skin were both significantly increased with the increase of MPs concentration, but content of glutathione (GSH) in fish skin showed a significant decrease. For ASX supplementation, the L*, a* values and ASX deposition were significantly improved by ASX, including the skin of MPs-exposed fish. The T-AOC and SOD levels changed non-significantly in fish liver and skin under the interaction of MPs and ASX, but ASX significantly reduced GSH content in fish liver. Biomarker response index indicated that ASX could improve the moderately altered antioxidant defense status of MPs-exposed fish. This study suggests that the oxidative stress caused by MPs was mitigated by ASX but at expense of reduced fish skin pigmentation.

Abstract
Background There is still a large demand for effective treatments to delay disease deterioration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Typical symptoms of ALS are considered "flaccidity syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Huoling Shengji Granule (HLSJ) is a TCM formula used to treat flaccidity syndrome. Results of preclinical tests and a previous clinical study support HLSJ as a novel drug for ALS patients. This trial proposed to examine whether a 48-week course of HLSJ is effective and safe for ALS patients diagnosed with the Chinese medicine syndrome of spleen qi insufficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Methods and analysis In this phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, riluzole parallel-controlled, superiority-design study, eligible participants had the equal opportunity to be assigned to receive either HLSJ or riluzole randomly. Eleven specialized ALS centers in Mainland China will recruit 144 patients for this trial. The primary and secondary outcomes included the change in the ALSFRS-R score and the Rasch-Built Overall Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Disability Scale (ROADS) from baseline to Week 48. Discussion Here, we endeavored to evaluate TCM for ALS using a standard evidence-based approach for the first time. In addition, the ROADS, a self-report linear-weighted questionnaire, was selected as a secondary outcome measure. We expect to offer a new reference for the outcome evaluation of ALS trials.Clinical trial registration:http://www.Chictr.org.cn, identifier ChiCTR2100044085.

Abstract
Discus Symphysodon spp. employs an unusual parental care behavior where fry feed on parental skin mucus after hatching. Studies on discus immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) especially during parental care are scarce. Here, a total of 518 IgSF members were identified based on discus genome and clustered into 12 groups, unevenly distributing on 30 linkage groups. A total of 92 pairs of tandem duplication and 40 pairs of segmental duplication that underwent purifying selection were identified. IgSF genes expressed differentially in discus skin during different care stages and between male and female parents. Specifically, the transcription of btn1a1, similar with mammalian lactation, increased after spawning, reached a peak when fry started biting on parents' skin mucus, and then decreased. The expression of btn2a1 and other immune members, e.g., nect4, fcl5 and cd22, were up-regulated when fry stopped biting on mucus. These results suggest the expression differentiation of IgSF genes in skin of discus fish during parental care.

Abstract
With its well-documented toxicity, the use of doxorubicin (Dox) for cancer treatment requires trade-offs between safety and effectiveness. This limited use of Dox also hinders its functionality as an immunogenic cell death inducer, thus impeding its usefulness for immunotherapeutic applications. Here, we develop a biomimetic pseudonucleus nanoparticle (BPN-KP) by enclosing GC-rich DNA within erythrocyte membrane modified with a peptide to selectively target healthy tissue. By localizing treatment to organs susceptible to Dox-mediated toxicity, BPN-KP acts as a decoy that prevents the drug from intercalating into the nuclei of healthy cells. This results in significantly increased tolerance to Dox, thereby enabling the delivery of high drug doses into tumor tissue without detectable toxicity. By lessening the leukodepletive effects normally associated with chemotherapy, dramatic immune activation within the tumor microenvironment was also observed after treatment. In three different murine tumor models, high-dose Dox with BPN-KP pretreatment resulted in significantly prolonged survival, particularly when combined with immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Overall, this study demonstrates how targeted detoxification using biomimetic nanotechnology can help to unlock the full potential of traditional chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Foliar fertilization acts as a ubiquitous component of conventional crop production because the nutrients can be absorbed more quickly than soil fertilizers, which brings considerable economic and ecological costs. Due to droplets rebounding and splashing during spraying and rain erosion, low bioavailability of fertilizer results in soil salinity, heavy metal accumulation, water eutrophication and the greenhouse effect. Contrary to conventional fertilizer formulations with polymers, surfactants, and organic reagents, we herein present a method of improving fertilizer bioavailability based on a biocompatible protein coating. In this system, whey protein concentrate (WPC) can undergo amyloid-like aggregation after the reduction of its disulfide bond by the reducing agent tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine (TCEP). Such aggregation affords a fast formation of the optically transparent and colorless phase-transitioned WPC (PTW) coating at solid/water interface, with robust interfacial adhesion stability. Upon packaging with fertilizers through electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions, such reliable interfacial adhesion thereby facilitates the effective deposition of fertilizers on superhydrophobic and hydrophobic leaf surfaces, with excellent adhesion stability under sufficient exposure to simulated weather conditions. In this regard, the PTW coating shows the highest fertilizer retention capability in all known outcome, even under rainfall conditions that are 100 times more intense than those described in literature. High optical transmittance of the PTW also does not affect normal photosynthetic capacity of plant. Based on further practical farmland test, this work experimentally demonstrates that the application of an amyloid-like protein aggregation could significantly boost the bioavailability of fertilizers and decrease at least 30% fertilizer use in large-scale crop planting. This innovative strategy has the great potential to offer a transformative step forward in managing fertilizer contamination and overuse in future agriculture. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Individuals' early experiences can shape their lifelong development. Notably, healthy parenting experiences will build a good foundation for successful development, whereas inappropriate parenting experiences hinder healthy development. From the goal disengagement perspective, we propose that over-parenting can elicit individual goal disengagement in the development process, which hinders goal-pursuit behaviors. Data collected from 536 university students from China at three time points supported our hypotheses. Specifically, over-parenting promotes more career-exploration goal disengagement, inhibiting career-exploration behavior. In addition, the process mentioned above is more salient for individuals with a high need for parental approval. The theoretical and practical implications of this research are also discussed.

Abstract
This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether sorafenib combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy is beneficial for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase to identify comparative studies evaluating sorafenib plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy versus sorafenib for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Overall survival, progression-free survival, objective response rate, rate of progressive disease, and adverse events were evaluated. This meta-analysis included 5 randomized controlled trials (690 patients). Pooled estimates showed that compared with sorafenib, sorafenib plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy was associated with higher overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28-0.95, P = .03), progressionfree survival (hazard ratio = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.33-0.98, P = .04), objective response rate (risk ratio = 3.84, 95% CI: 1.23-12.05, P = .02), as well as higher rates of neutropenia (risk ratio = 7.90, 95% CI: 3.0-20.78, P < .0001) and thrombocytopenia (risk ratio = 2.73, 95% CI: 1.70- 4.36, P < .0001), but had no significant influence for rate of progressive disease (risk ratio = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.43-1.37, P = .37). Sorafenib plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy improved overall survival, progression-free survival, and objective response rate, but it had no effect on the rate of progressive disease. Combination therapy has a survival benefit for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients, and adverse events can be accepted. However, more large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed for further investigation.

Abstract
Nanodrug delivery systems have been widely used in cancer treatment. Among these, liposomal drug carriers have gained considerable attention due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. However, conventional liposomes have several shortcomings, such as poor stability, rapid clearance, aggregation, fusion, degradation, hydrolysis, and oxidation of phospholipids. Polysaccharides are natural polymers of biological origin that exhibit structural stability, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, flexibility, non-immunogenicity, low toxicity, and targetability. Therefore, they represent a promising class of polymers for the modification of the surface properties of liposomes to overcome their shortcomings. In addition, polysaccharides can be readily combined with other materials to develop new composite materials. Hence, they represent the optimal choice for liposomal modification to improve pharmacokinetics and clinical utility. Polysaccharide-coated liposomes exhibit better stability, drug release kinetics, and cellular uptake than conventional liposomes. The oncologic application of polysaccharide-coated liposomes has become a research hotspot. We summarize the preparation, physicochemical properties, and antineoplastic effects of polysaccharide-coated liposomes to facilitate antitumor drug development.

Abstract
Biofloc technology, extensively used in intensive aquaculture systems, can prompt the formation of microbial aggregates. Microplastics (MPs) are detected abundantly in aquaculture waters. This study explored the effects of MPs on biofloc formation, microbial community composition and nitrogen transformation function in simulated biofloc aquaculture production systems. The formation process and settling performance of bioflocs were examined. High-throughput sequencing of 16S and 18S rRNA genes was used to investigate the microbial community compositions of bioflocs. Nitrogen dynamics were monitored and further explained from functional genes and microorganisms related to nitrogen transformation by metagenome sequencing. We found that the aggregates consisting of bioflocs and MPs were formed and the systems with MPs had relatively weak settling performance. No significant differences in bacterial diversity (p > 0.05) but significant differences in eukaryotic diversity (p < 0.05) were found between systems without and with MPs. Significant separations in the microbial communities of prokaryotes (p = 0.01) and eukaryotes (p = 0.01) between systems without and with MPs were observed. The peak concentration of nitrite nitrogen (NO2--N) in systems with MPs was lower than that in systems without MPs (pControl/MPs Low = 0.02 and pControl/MPs High = 0.03), probably due to the low abundance of hao and affiliated Alphaproteobacteria_bacterium_HGW-Alphaproteobacteria-1 and Alphaproteobacteria_bacterium, but the high abundance of nxrA and affiliated Alphaproteobacteria_bacterium_SYSU_XM001 and Hydrogenophaga_pseudoflava that related to nitrification. The low concentration of NO2--N in systems with MPs suggested that the presence of MPs might inhibit ammonia oxidation but promote nitrite oxidation by altering the microbial community structure and function. These results indicated that aggregates consisting of bioflocs and MPs could be formed in aquaculture water, and thus, inhibiting their settlement and altering nitrogen transformation function by affecting the microbial community composition.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (AC) is one of the most popular pharmacologically active substances used as an analgesic and antipyretic drug. Herein, a new type of hollow Fe3O4-rGO/GCE electrode was prepared for electrochemical detection of AC through a three-step approach involving a solvothermal method for the synthesis of hollow Fe3O4 and the chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) for reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and Fe3O4-rGO nanocomposites modified on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface. The as-prepared Fe3O4-rGO nanocomposites were characterized using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and a magnetic measurement system (SQUID-VSM). The magnetic Fe3O4-rGO/GCE electrodes were employed for the electrochemical detection of AC using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and square wave voltammetry (SWV) and exhibited an ultra-high selectivity and accuracy, a low detection limit of 0.11 µmol/L with a wider linear range from 5 × 10-7 to 10-4 mol/L, and high recovery between 100.52% and 101.43%. The obtained Fe3O4-rGO-modified GCE displays great practical significance for the detection of AC in drug analysis.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Biejiajian pill (BJJP) is a canonical formula that is clinically used to treat chronic liver disease, especially to decrease the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanisms underlying the prevention of HCC progression by BJJP remain unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to determine whether BJJP inhibits HCC progression by downregulating platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRβ) signaling in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in a mouse model of diethylnitrosamine (DEN)/carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced HCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57BL/6 male mice were intraperitoneally injected with DEN 2 weeks after birth, followed by repeated injections of CCl4 weekly from 6 weeks of age onwards, to recapitulate features of HCC. At week 14, BJJP was orally administered to mice. The effects of BJJP on HCC progression were evaluated using histology, immunohistochemistry, and serum biochemical marker levels. Transcriptome analysis, molecular docking, quantitative real-time PCR, and Western blot were used to study the genes targeted by BJJP and the associated signaling pathway. The effects of BJJP on PDGFRβ signaling in CAFs and the underlying mechanism were demonstrated. RESULTS BJJP treatment significantly suppressed carcinogenesis and cancer progression, and it ameliorated liver inflammation in mice with HCC. A total of 176 genes, including PDGFRβ, were significantly downregulated after BJJP treatment and five components of BJJP with high binding affinity to PDGFRβ were identified. BJJP inhibited the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) by suppressing PDGFRβ expression in CAFs, and it also downregulated the expression of the downstream proteins hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). Furthermore, BJJP-containing serum consistently reduced PDGFRβ, HGF, and VEGF-A expression levels in HSC-derived CAFs in vitro. Importantly, PDGF-BB induced PDGFRβ activation in CAFs and both BJJP and sunitinib (a kinase inhibitor) inhibited PDGF-BB/PDGFRβ signaling. CONCLUSION BJJP inhibits the progression of HCC through suppressing VEGF-A and HGF expression in CAFs by downregulating PDGFRβ signaling.

Abstract
Objective Cognitive impairment (CI) is a common disorder in patients with epilepsy (PWEs). Objective assessment method for diagnosing CI in PWEs would be beneficial in reality. This study proposed to construct a diagnostic model for CI in PWEs using the clinical and the phase locking value (PLV) functional connectivity features of the electroencephalogram (EEG). Methods PWEs who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into a cognitively normal (CON) group (n = 55) and a CI group (n = 76). The 23 clinical features and 684 PLV EEG features at the time of patient visit were screened and ranked using the Fisher score. Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) and Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) were used as algorithms to construct diagnostic models of CI in PWEs either with pure clinical features, pure PLV EEG features, or combined clinical and PLV EEG features. The performance of these models was assessed using a five-fold cross-validation method. Results GBDT-built model with combined clinical and PLV EEG features performed the best with accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 90.11, 93.40, 89.50, 91.39, and 0.95%. The top 5 features found to influence the model performance based on the Fisher scores were the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the head for abnormalities, educational attainment, PLV EEG in the beta (β)-band C3-F4, seizure frequency, and PLV EEG in theta (θ)-band Fp1-Fz. A total of 12 of the top 5% of features exhibited statistically different PLV EEG features, while eight of which were PLV EEG features in the θ band. Conclusion The model constructed from the combined clinical and PLV EEG features could effectively identify CI in PWEs and possess the potential as a useful objective evaluation method. The PLV EEG in the θ band could be a potential biomarker for the complementary diagnosis of CI comorbid with epilepsy.

Abstract
Objective: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), is the most common joint disease worldwide. The pathogenesis of KOA is complex and electroacupuncture (EA) is an effective therapy for KOA, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aim to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of EA on the rat model of KOA induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) and its relationship with NLRP3 inflammasome by immunohistochemistry and western blot. Methods: KOA was induced by intra-articular injection of MIA (3 mg/50 μL) into the right knee joint of rats. Forty-five male rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, KOA group, and KOA + electroacupuncture group (KOA+EA). EA treatment lasted for 2 weeks (6 times a week). Paw withdrawal threshold tests were used to assess mechanical allodynia once a week. Safranin O/Fast Green and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used to assess the damage to cartilage, synovium, and subpatellar fat pad (IFP). Immunohistochemistry was used to observe NLRP3 inflammasome-associated protein-positive cells in the same field of view and western blot was used to detect the expression of the associated protein in cartilage tissue. Results: The KOA group showed mechanical hyperalgesia, joint inflammation, and significant cartilage tissue destruction. Safranin O/Fast Green and H&E staining revealed that EA alleviated the joint pathological changes caused by KOA and had a protective effect on cartilage, synovium, and IFP destruction. Mechanical allodynia pain and joint swelling were reduced in KOA rats after EA treatment. Immunohistochemistry and western blot showed significant inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated protein. Conclusion: The results indicate that EA can inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome and reduce pyroptosis, which results in the protection of cartilage tissue and the treatment of KOA. It provides reliable evidence for the development of EA in the treatment of KOA and the clinical application of acupuncture.

Abstract
Diabetic encephalopathy (DE) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially in those patients with long T2D history. Persistent high glucose (HG) stimulation leads to neuron damage and manifests like Alzheimer's disease's pathological features such as neurofilament tangle. However, the precise mechanism of high-glucose-induced tau hyperphosphorylation is not fully revealed. We here gave evidence that Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 protein (DISC1) could interact with glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and inhibit its activity to prevent tau hyperphosphorylation. By using DB/DB mice as animal model and HG-treated N2a cell as cell model, we found that DISC1 was downregulated both in vivo and in vitro, complicated with Tau hyperphosphorylation and GSK3β activation. Further, we identified DISC1 interacted with GSK3β by its 198th-237th amino acid residues. Overexpression of full length DISC1 but not mutated DISC1 lacking this domain could prevent HG induced tau hyperphosphorylation. Taken together, our work revealed DISC1 could be an important negative modulators of tau phosphorylation, and suggested that preservation of DISC1 could prevent HG induced neuron damage.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) pollution has been extensively investigated in natural fishery waters, but studies on intensive aquaculture systems are scarce. Here, the occurrence and properties of MPs were investigated and compared between four different aquaculture systems nearby the Yangtze Estuary. The average MPs concentration was in order of recirculating aquaculture system (RAS, 1.67 particles/L) < aquarium (2.47 particles/L) < cement pond (10.09 particles/L) < earthen pond (13.81 particles/L). Compared to fragment MPs, fiber was the more abundant shape in aquarium (85.88%), RAS (77.61%) and earthen pond (68.13%). A total of six colors were found in four systems. The black MPs accounted for 56.86% and 47.45% in aquarium and RAS system, respectively. The high proportion of blue MPs was found in cement pond (37.65%) and earthen pond (40%). The most MPs sizes observed in the four systems were 43% of 50-300 μm MPs in aquarium; 44% and 30.19% of 300-1000 μm MPs in RAS and cement pond, respectively; and 30.19% of 3000-5000 μm MPs in earthen pond. For polymers, polypropylene occupied 47.83% in aquarium and RAS, 41.46% in cement pond and 27.79% in earthen pond. Proportion of rayon was highest in RAS (60.87%) and 34.04% of nylon was found in earthen pond. These results could provide scientific reference for further traceability and removal of MPs in different aquaculture systems.

Abstract
The plastisphere refers to biofilm formation on the microplastic (MP) surface, but its subsequent functions, especially driving the nitrogen biogeochemical cycle, are rarely studied. Here, MPs were incubated in the pelagic water and benthic water-sediment interface of an aquaculture pond, and the two corresponding microcosms amended with incubated plastisphere were simulated. The results showed decreased ammonia concentrations and increased nitrification rates in microcosms with either pelagic or benthic plastispheres. To uncover the possible mechanisms, the community structure and function of the plastisphere were investigated. As clarified by 16S rRNA, the community diversity of the pelagic plastisphere was significantly higher than that of the corresponding hydrosphere. Plastisphere communities, especially those incubated in pelagic water, were separated from the hydrosphere. Moreover, the abundance of Proteobacteria increased while the abundance of Cyanobacteria decreased in both plastispheres. Metagenome further revealed that the abundance of amoA and annotated Nitrososphaeraceae_archaeon and hao and affiliated Nitrosomonas_europaea, which contributed to ammonia oxidation to nitrite, was higher in the benthic plastisphere. Comparing the pelagic plastisphere with the corresponding hydrosphere, however, the abundance of nxrA and annotated Nitrobacter hamburgensis and nxrB and the affiliated Nitrospira moscoviensis, which are involved in nitrite oxidation, was more abundant in the plastisphere. These findings suggest that the plastisphere might selectively enrich functional microorganisms and genes in a habitat-dependent manner to promote nitrification in aquaculture ponds.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas can be adjusted on the basis of TCM basic theory to achieve the best curative effect, especially for diseases with complex pathogenesis, such as post-weaning diarrhea (PWD). Shugan Jianwei Sijunzi decoction (SJ-SJZD) can be recognized as modified Sijunzi Decoction (SJZD) supplemented with Astragalus mongholicus Bunge, Bupleurum chinense DC, Citrus × aurantium L., and Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge (fruit) in a fixed dosage ratio. The inactive ingredients were subsequently added to make granule, which was Shugan Jianwei Sijunzi granule (SJ-SJZG). Previous studies have confirmed the antagonism of SJ-SJZG to PWD. However, the mechanism of SJ-SJZG protective effects on small intestine in weaned Rex rabbits remained unclear. Animals were randomly divided into negative control (NC), low dose (LD), medium dose (MD), high dose (HD), and positive control (PC). SJ-SJZG significantly increased the intestinal length and the jejunum villi length. The SIgA level was statistically increased in duodenum and jejunum with the ELISA. Immunohistochemical detection showed that SIgA protein expression was also increased significantly in jejunum. Meanwhile, the relative expression of Zo1 in duodenum and jejunum of SJ-SJZG group increased significantly. SJ-SJZG significantly increased the relative expression of occludin in duodenum and jejunum as well. Moreover, real-time PCR results showed a significant increase in GLUT2 and SGLT1 relative expression in ileum. SJ-SJZG could also obviously enhance the expression of GLUT2 in jejunum and the expression of SGLT1 in duodenum. In conclusion, SJ-SJZG had been proven to be effective in promoting the development of small intestine and improving the immunity of small intestine. Moreover, SJ-SJZG could ensure the integrity of mucosal barrier and increase the ability of intestine to absorb glucose in small intestine.

Abstract
Hypersensitive regulation of cellular hypoxic response relies on cooperative displacement of one disordered protein (HIF-1α) by another disordered protein (CITED2) from the target in a negative feedback loop. Considering the weak intramolecule coupling in disordered proteins, the molecular mechanism of high cooperativity in the molecular displacement event remains elusive. Herein, we show that disordered proteins utilize a "self-effected allostery" mechanism to achieve high binding cooperativity. Different from the conventional allostery mechanisms shown by many structured or disordered proteins, this mechanism utilizes one part of the disordered protein as the effector to trigger the allosteric coupling and enhance the binding of the remaining part of the same disordered protein, contributing to high cooperativity of the displacement event. The conserved charge motif of CITED2 is the key determinant of the molecular displacement event by serving as the effector of allosteric coupling. Such self-effected allostery provides an efficient strategy to achieve high cooperativity in the molecular events involving disordered proteins.

Abstract
Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plays a critical role in the flow-induced vascular remodeling process, such as pulmonary artery hypertension related to congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH). Neuroblastoma suppressor of tumorigenicity 1 (NBL1) is a secreted glycoprotein and has been implicated in CHD-PAH by aggravating the phenotypic transformation of smooth muscle cell (SMC). However, the underlying mechanisms regarding the interplay between NBL1 and endothelial cell (EC) in CHD-PAH remains to be fully elucidated. Thus, we aimed to identify the potential effect of NBL1 on EndMT by a novel flow-associated PAH model with Nbl1 knockout rats. The phenotype of EndMT was detected by RNA-seq and further examined by western blotting and immunostaining of pulmonary arteries. Our observation demonstrated that the novel strategy of Nbl1 knockout effectively attenuated flow-associated PAH through downregulation of EndMT to some extent. Mechanistic experiments were established on human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) to confirm that EndMT was induced by NBL1 in vitro. After 7 days stimulation with NBL1, levels of EndMT-related biomarkers and downstream transcription factors were quantified by RNA-seq, western blotting and immunocytochemistry. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments supported the imbalance of increased TGF-β and dysregulation of BMP signaling by NBL1. Blocking the canonical TGF-β pathway efficiently preserved endothelial function upon NBL1 stimulation. These data suggested that NBL1 aggravated flow-associated PAH by inducing EndMT via the TGF-β/BMP signaling pathway. Thus, antagonizing NBL1 and rebalancing TGF-β/BMP signaling may be a suitable therapeutic target for CHD-PAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor. Alcohol consumption is positively correlated with CRC malignant metastasis; however, the mechanism is unclear. The interaction between laminin-γ2 (LAMC2) and integrin-β1 (ITGB1) plays a role in premetastatic niche signaling, which may induce epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and lead to metastasis.
AIM To investigate the effects of alcohol on CRC metastasis from the molecular mechanism of the premetastatic niche.
METHODS The interaction between LAMC2 and ITGB1 was measured by Duolink assay, and the expression levels of LAMC2, ITGB1 and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), snail, fibronectin, N-cadherin and special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 (SATB1) were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6 levels were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, histopathological assessment via hematoxylin eosin staining, and determination of aberrant crypt foci via methylene blue.
RESULTS The lymph node metastasis rate was higher in the alcohol group than non-alcohol group. There was a significant increase in interaction signals between LAMC2 and ITGB1, and an increase in phosphorylate-FAK/FAK, snail, fibronectin, N-cadherin and SATB1, whereas E-cadherin was reduced in the alcohol group compared to the non-alcohol group in both animal and clinical samples. Serum IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were higher in alcohol group than in non-alcohol group. Alcohol may promote CRC metastasis by influencing the molecular mechanism of the premetastatic niche.
CONCLUSION Our study suggests that alcohol promotes EMT-mediated premetastatic niche formation of CRC by activating the early interaction between LAMC2 and ITGB1 and lead to CRC metastasis.

Abstract
With few options available for the effective treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy that does not promote the development of antibiotic resistance. Unfortunately, the beneficial bactericidal effect of PDT is oftentimes accompanied by the uncontrollable production of reactive oxygen species. To overcome this issue, a pore-forming toxin (PFT)-responsive biomimetic nanobubble is designed, which is constructed by co-encapsulating a perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion and a photosensitizer within the red blood cell membrane. It is shown that PFTs derived from three pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), group A Streptococcus (GAS), and Listeria monocytogenes (LM), can be effectively absorbed by the nanobubble. Upon toxin absorption, the formation of pores on the nanobubble surface allows the accelerated release of oxygen dissolved inside the nanoemulsion along with the photosensitizer, thus resulting in enhanced PDT and bactericidal efficacy. In three skin infection models, treatment with the nanobubbles results in significantly decreased lesion formation and reduced inflammation. In addition to oxygen, the platform can be used to deliver nitric oxide in a bacterial toxin-dependent manner. Overall, biomimetic nanobubbles may work as a broad gas delivery system that is capable of responding to a variety of PFT-based stimuli for precision PDT.
