Abstract
Electrochemical methods can effectively remove nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and orthophosphate phosphorus (PO4-P) from wastewater. This work proposed a process for the simultaneous removal of NO3-N and PO4-P by combining electroreduction with electrochemically-induced calcium phosphate precipitation, and its performance and mechanisms were studied. For the treatment of 100 mg L-1 NO3-N and 5 mg L-1 PO4-P, NO3-N removal of 60-90% (per cathode area: 0.25-0.38 mg h-1 cm-2) and 80-90% (per cathode area: 0.33-0.38 mg h-1 cm-2) could be acquired within 3 h in single-chamber cell (SCC) and dual-chamber cell (DCC), while P removal was 80-98% (per cathode area: 0.10-0.12 mg h-1 cm-2) in SCC after 30 min and 98% (per cathode area: 0.37 mg h-1 cm-2) in DCC within 10 min. The faster P removal in DCC was due to the higher pH and more abundant Ca2+ in the cathode chamber of DCC, which was caused by the cation exchange membrane (CEM). Interestingly, NO3-N reduction enhanced P removal because more OH- can be produced by nitrate reduction than hydrogen evolution for an equal-charge reaction. For 10 mg L-1 PO4-P in SCC, when the initial NO3-N was 0, 20, 100, and 500 mg L-1, the P removal efficiencies after 1 h treatment were < 10%, 45-55%, 86-99%, and above 98% respectively. An increase in Ca2+ concentration also promoted P removal. However, Ca and P inhibited nitrate reduction in SCC at the relatively low initial Ca/P, as CaP on the cathode limited the charge or mass transfer process. The removal efficiency of NO3-N in SCC after 3 h reaction can reduce by about 17%, 40%, and 34% for Co3O4/Ti, Co/Ti, and TiO2/Ti. The degree of inhibition of P on NO3-N removal was related to the content and composition of CaP deposited on the cathode. On the cathode, the lower the deposited Ca and P, and the higher the deposited Ca/P molar ratio, the weaker the inhibition of P on NO3-N removal. Especially, P had little or even no inhibition on nitrate reduction when treated in DCC instead of SCC or under high initial Ca/P. It is speculated that under these conditions, a high local pH and local high concentration Ca2+ layer near the cathode led to a decrease in CaP deposition and an increase in Ca/P molar ratio on the cathode. High initial concentrations of NO3-N might also be beneficial in reducing the inhibition of P on nitrate reduction, as few CaP with high Ca/P molar ratios were deposited on the cathode. The evaluation of the real wastewater treatment was also conducted.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can directly degrade and mineralize organic pollutants (OPs) in water by generating reactive oxygen species with strong oxidizing ability. The development of advanced electrode materials with high catalytic performance, low energy consumption, no secondary pollution, and long lifespan has become a challenge that must be addressed in this field. A heterojunction catalyst loaded with Co3O4 on TDNAs (Co3O4/RTDNAs) was designed and constructed by a simple and efficient pyrolysis (Co3O4/TDNAs) and electrochemical reduction. Co3O4 can be uniformly distributed on the inner wall and surface of the TiO2 nanotubes, enhancing the specific surface area while forming a tight conductive interface with TiO2. This facilitates rapid transmission of electrons, thereby assisting Co3O4 in quickly activating PS to form reactive oxygen species. The Ti3+ and Ov generated in Co3O4/RTDNAs can significantly improve the electrocatalytic degradation of OPs. Also, the interface formed by Co3O4 and RTDNAs will effectively suppress Co2+ leakage, thereby reducing the risk of secondary pollution. When the reaction conditions were 1 mM PMS (PDS) and a current density of 5 mA/cm2 in the EA-PMS (PDS)/Co3O4/RTDNA system, 30 mg/L TC can achieve 83.24 % (81.89 %) removal in 120 min, with very low cobalt ion leaching, while the energy consumption was reduced significantly. Therefore, EA-PS/Co3O4/RTDNA system has strong stability and a high potential for treating the OPs in AOPs.

Abstract
Transition metals are excellent active sites to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for water treatment, but the favorable electronic structures governing reaction mechanism still remain elusive. Herein, the authors construct typical d-orbital configurations on iron octahedral (FeOh ) and tetrahedral (FeTd ) sites in spinel ZnFe2 O4 and FeAl2 O4 , respectively. ZnFe2 O4 (136.58 min-1 F-1 cm2 ) presented higher specific activity than FeAl2 O4 (97.47 min-1 F-1 cm2 ) for tetracycline removal by PMS activation. Considering orbital features of charge amount, spin state, and orbital arrangement by magnetic spectroscopic analysis, ZnFe2 O4 has a larger bond order to decompose PMS. Using this descriptor, high-spin FeOh is assumed to activate PMS mainly to produce nonradical reactive oxygen species (ROS) while high-spin FeTd prefers to induce radical species. This hypothesis is confirmed by the selective predominant ROS of 1 O2 on ZnFe2 O4 and O2 •- on FeAl2 O4 via quenching experiments. Electrochemical determinations reveal that FeOh has superior capability than FeTd for feasible valence transformation of iron cations and fast interfacial electron transfer. DFT calculations further suggest octahedral d-orbital configuration of ZnFe2 O4 is beneficial to enhancing Fe-O covalence for electron exchange. This work attempts to understand the d-orbital configuration-dependent PMS activation to design efficient catalysts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP), a special adverse event (AE) only observed in patients treated with camrelizumab, was reported to be correlated with the efficacy of camrelizumab in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. This study to analyze the possible correlation between the occurrence of RCCEP and efficacy of camrelizumab in patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and RCCEP occurrence of camrelizumab in 58 patients with R/M HNSCC in the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine between January 2019 and June 2022. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess the correlation between the occurrence of RCCEP and the survival of enrolled patients, and COX multifactor analysis was adopted to evaluate associated factors that affected the efficacy of camrelizumab immunotherapy. RESULTS A significant correlation between the incidence of RCCEP and a higher objective response rate was observed in this study (p=0.008). The occurrence of RCCEP was associated with better median overall survival (17.0 months vs. 8.7 months, p<0.0001, HR=5.944, 95% CI:2.097-16.84) and better median progression-free survival (15.1 months vs. 4.0 months, p<0.0001, HR=4.329,95% CI:1.683-11.13). In COX multifactor analysis, RCCEP occurrence was also an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in patients with R/M HNSCC. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of RCCEP can show a better prognosis, it could be used as a clinical biomarker to predict the efficacy of camrelizumab treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of institutional policies routine SARS-CoV-2 testing before treatment starts with mandatory quarantine periods for COVID-positive patients during the first year of the COVID19 pandemic across radiation oncology sections at our tertiary cancer center. MATERIALS/METHODS Electronic medical databases were queried to identify all patients treated with curative intent at a large urban cancer center and regional satellites a year prior to the pandemic (02/11/19-12/30/19; pre-pandemic) and the first year of the pandemic (03/11/20-12/30/20; post-pandemic). New treatment starts were filtered for those undergoing treatment under a single ICD-10 diagnosis and the first treatment in each time period for each patient. Chi-square tests were used for categorical variables, and the t-test was used for continuous variables to correlate differences in demographic and clinical factors before and during the pandemic. RESULTS The total number of new treatment starts were similar between the pre-pandemic (2,218 patients) and post-pandemic (2,130 patients) periods, but there was a 26% decrease in treatments in April 2020 compared to April 2019 and a 40% increase in treatments in November 2020 compared to November 2019. Post-pandemic patients had higher minimum Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (mean 46.0 vs 42.6, P = 0.0013) and were younger (62.8 yo vs 64.3 yo, P = 0.0001). The proportion of patients being treated from the same state as our institution was higher in the post-pandemic period compared to pre-pandemic (77.8% vs 72.43%, P = 0.0259). Distribution of treatments across department disease-site sections were significantly different (P<0.0001), with the proportion of patients treated by the Breast service having increased by 22% whereas the metropolitan area regional satellites experienced a 18% reduction. There were no statistically significant differences amongst pre- and post-pandemic patients with respect to race, marital status, or smoking status. Post-pandemic patients had less total radiation-related clinical visits (mean 24.8 vs 28.6, P<0.0001), lower administered dose (4329 cGy vs 4533 cGy, P<0.0001), and lower radiation fraction count (17 vs 19, P<0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in the duration between CT simulation and treatment start, but post-pandemic patients had shorter duration of elapsed days during treatment (27 days vs 29 days, P = 0.0001). A disease-site-specific analysis demonstrated that these differences were most pronounced in patients treated for breast cancer. CONCLUSION In the first year of the COVID19 pandemic, our institution saw a dynamic change in the number of new radiation treatments. Additional analyses across individual disease-specific services may reveal insight into dose, fractionation, and technique, which may account for the observed differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a widely explored therapeutic target in solid tumors. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab-pkrb, a biosimilar of trastuzumab, in combination with paclitaxel, in HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 27 patients; they were administered a loading dose of 8 mg/kg trastuzumab-pkrb on day 1, followed by 6 mg/kg and 175 mg/m2 paclitaxel on day 1 every 3 weeks, intravenously. All patients received six cycles of the combination treatment and continued to receive trastuzumab-pkrb maintenance until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to 2 years. HER2 positivity (based on immunohistochemistry analysis) was determined according to the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology /College of American Pathologists HER2 testing guidelines. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were evaluated via primary endpoint analysis. The ORR was 48.1% (1 complete and 12 partial responses) and the duration of response was 6.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.4-9.3 months]. With a median follow-up of 10.5 months, the median PFS and OS were 8.4 months (95% CI 6.2-8.8 months) and 13.5 months (95% CI 9.8 months-not reached), respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) of any grade was peripheral neuropathy (88.9%). The most common grade 3/4 TRAEs were neutropenia (25.9%), thrombocytopenia (7.4%), and anemia (7.4%). CONCLUSIONS Trastuzumab-pkrb plus paclitaxel demonstrates promising efficacy with manageable toxicity profiles in patients with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic UC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the pathological classification of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) and screen the immunohistochemical markers that can distinguish MPeM from peritoneal metastatic carcinoma (PC) . Methods: In June 2020, the pathological results of peritoneal biopsy of 158 MPeM and 138 PC patients from Cangzhou Central Hospital, Cangzhou People's Hospital, and Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May 2011 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and the pathological classifications of MPeM in Cangzhou were summarized. Immunohistochemical markers of MPeM and PC patients were analyzed, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn for differential diagnosis of MPeM and PC. Results: There were 55 male and 103 female MPeM patients in Cangzhou, with an average age of 57.1 years old. The asbestos exposure rate was 91.14% (144/158). The most common pathological classifications were cutaneous type, accounting for 90.51% (143/158). There were significant differences in the expression of calreticulum protein, CK5/6, vimentin, D2-40, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and tail type homologous nuclear gene transcription factor 2 (CDX-2) between MPeM and PC (P<0.05). Among the 6 positive markers, the sensitivity of calreticulum protein was the highest (0.905) and CEA was the lowest (0.428) . Conclusion: Calreticulum protein, CK5/6, vimentin, D2-40, CEA and CDX-2 may be used as specific markers to distinguish the diagnosis of MPeM from PC.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to value-added solar fuels is of great significance to alleviate the severe environmental and energy crisis. Herein, we report the construction of a synergistic silver nanoparticle catalyst with adjacent atomic cobalt-silver dual-metal sites on P-doped carbon nitride (Co1Ag(1+n)-PCN) for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The optimized photocatalyst achieves a high CO formation rate of 46.82 μmol gcat-1 with 70.1% selectivity in solid-liquid mode without sacrificial agents, which is 2.68 and 2.18-fold compared to that of exclusive silver single-atom (Ag1-CN) and cobalt-silver dual-metal site (Co1Ag1-PCN) photocatalysts, respectively. The closely integrated in situ experiments and density functional theory calculations unravel that the electronic metal-support interactions (EMSIs) of Ag nanoparticles with adjacent Ag-N2C2 and Co-N6-P single-atom sites promote the adsorption of CO2* and COOH* intermediates to form CO and CH4, as well as boost the enrichment and transfer of photoexcited electrons. Moreover, the atomically dispersed dual-metal Co-Ag SA sites serve as the fast-electron-transfer channel while Ag nanoparticles act as the electron acceptor to enrich and separate more photogenerated electrons. This work provides a general platform to delicately design high-performance synergistic catalysts for highly efficient solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Self-assembled enantiomers of an asymmetric di-iron metallohelix differ in their antiproliferative activities against HCT116 colon cancer cells such that the compound with Λ-helicity at the metals becomes more potent than the Δ compound with increasing exposure time. From concentration- and temperature-dependent 57Fe isotopic labelling studies of cellular accumulation we postulate that while the more potent Λ enantiomer undergoes carrier-mediated efflux, for Δ the process is principally equilibrative. Cell fractionation studies demonstrate that both enantiomers localise in a similar fashion; compound is observed mostly within the cytoskeleton and/or genomic DNA, with significant amounts also found in the nucleus and membrane, but with negligible concentration in the cytosol. Cell cycle analyses using flow cytometry reveal that the Δ enantiomer induces mild arrest in the G1 phase, while Λ causes a very large dose-dependent increase in the G2/M population at a concentration significantly below the relevant IC50. Correspondingly, G2-M checkpoint failure as a result of Λ-metallohelix binding to DNA is shown to be feasible by linear dichroism studies, which indicate, in contrast to the Δ compound, a quite specific mode of binding, probably in the major groove. Further, spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) failure, which could also be responsible for the observed G2/M arrest, is established as a feasible mechanism for the Λ helix via drug combination (synergy) studies and the discovery of tubulin and actin inhibition. Here, while the Λ compound stabilizes F-actin and induces a distinct change in tubulin architecture of HCT116 cells, Δ promotes depolymerization and more subtle changes in microtubule and actin networks.

Abstract
The KamLAND-Zen experiment has provided stringent constraints on the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay half-life in ^{136}Xe using a xenon-loaded liquid scintillator. We report an improved search using an upgraded detector with almost double the amount of xenon and an ultralow radioactivity container, corresponding to an exposure of 970 kg yr of ^{136}Xe. These new data provide valuable insight into backgrounds, especially from cosmic muon spallation of xenon, and have required the use of novel background rejection techniques. We obtain a lower limit for the 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}>2.3×10^{26} yr at 90% C.L., corresponding to upper limits on the effective Majorana neutrino mass of 36-156 meV using commonly adopted nuclear matrix element calculations.

Abstract
Fe-based materials containing Fe-Nx sites have emerged as promising electrocatalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but they still suffer structural instability which may lead to loss of catalytic activity. Herein, a novel electrocatalyst Fe3C-FeSA@3DCN with the coexistence of Fe3C nanoparticles and Fe single atoms (FeSA) in a three-dimensional conductive network (3DCN) is prepared via lattice confinement and defect trapping strategies with an Fe atomic loading of as high as 4.36%. In the ORR process, the limiting current density of Fe3C-FeSA@3DCN reaches 5.72 mA cm-2, with an onset potential of 0.926 V and a Tafel slope of 66 mV/decade, showing better catalytic activity and stability than Pt/C catalysts. Notably, its assembled aqueous and solid-state Zn-air batteries (ZABs) achieve peak power densities of 166 and 56 mW cm-2, respectively, with a long service life of up to 200 h at a current density of 5 mA cm-2. In addition, the assembled ZAB can provide a constant voltage on activated carbon electrodes to perform capacitive deionization to adsorb different ions. The importance of the Fe species active sites generated by Fe3C and FeSA in the material for ORR activity to boost the electron transfer and mass transfer is demonstrated by a simple selective poisoning experiment.

Abstract
We present the development of a compact Thomson parabola ion spectrometer capable of characterizing the energy spectra of various ion species of multi-MeV ion beams from >1020W/cm2 laser produced plasmas at rates commensurate with the highest available from any of the current and near-future PW-class laser facilities. This diagnostic makes use of a polyvinyl toluene based fast plastic scintillator (EJ-260), and the emitted light is collected using an optical imaging system coupled to a thermoelectrically cooled scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor camera. This offers a robust solution for data acquisition at a high repetition rate, while avoiding the added complications and nonlinearities of micro-channel plate based systems. Different ion energy ranges can be probed using a modular magnet setup, a variable electric field, and a varying drift-distance. We have demonstrated operation and data collection with this system at up to 0.2 Hz from plasmas created by irradiating a solid target, limited only by the targeting system. With the appropriate software, on-the-fly ion spectral analysis will be possible, enabling real-time experimental control at multi-Hz repetition rates.

Abstract
The global scope of pollution from plastic waste is a well-known phenomenon associated with trade, mass consumption, and disposal of plastic products (e.g., personal protective equipment (PPE), viral test kits, and vacuum-packaged food). Recently, the scale of the problem has been exacerbated by increases in indoor livelihood activities during lockdowns imposed in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The present study describes the effects of increased plastic waste on environmental footprint and human health. Further, the technological/regulatory options and life cycle assessment (LCA) approach for sustainable plastic waste management are critically dealt in terms of their implications on energy resilience and circular economy. The abrupt increase in health-care waste during pandemic has been worsening environmental quality to undermine the sustainability in general. In addition, weathered plastic particles from PPE along with microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) can all adsorb chemical and microbial contaminants to pose a risk to ecosystems, biota, occupational safety, and human health. PPE-derived plastic pollution during the pandemic also jeopardizes sustainable development goals, energy resilience, and climate control measures. However, it is revealed that the pandemic can be regarded as an opportunity for explicit LCA to better address the problems associated with environmental footprints of plastic waste and to focus on sustainable management technologies such as circular bio-economies, biorefineries, and thermal gasification. Future researches in the energy-efficient clean technologies and circular bio-economies (or biorefineries) in concert with a "nexus" framework are expected to help reduce plastic waste into desirable directions.

Abstract
The PROBIES diagnostic is a new, highly flexible, imaging and energy spectrometer designed for laser-accelerated protons. The diagnostic can detect low-mode spatial variations in the proton beam profile while resolving multiple energies on a single detector or more. When a radiochromic film stack is employed for "single-shot mode," the energy resolution of the stack can be greatly increased while reducing the need for large numbers of films; for example, a recently deployed version allowed for 180 unique energy measurements spanning ∼3 to 75 MeV with <0.4 MeV resolution using just 20 films vs 180 for a comparable traditional film and filter stack. When utilized with a scintillator, the diagnostic can be run in high-rep-rate (>Hz rate) mode to recover nine proton energy bins. We also demonstrate a deep learning-based method to analyze data from synthetic PROBIES images with greater than 95% accuracy on sub-millisecond timescales and retrained with experimental data to analyze real-world images on sub-millisecond time-scales with comparable accuracy.

Background
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes are unsatisfactory despite postcardiac arrest care. Early prediction of prognoses might help stratify patients and provide tailored therapy.
Purpose
In this study, we derived and validated a novel scoring system to predict hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI) and in-hospital death (IHD).
Methods
We retrospectively analysed Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry data collected from in Korea between 2015 and 2018. Patients without neuroprognostication data were excluded, and the remaining patients were randomly divided into derivation and validation cohorts. HIBI was defined when at least one prognostication predicted a poor outcome. IHD meant all deaths regardless of cause. In the derivation cohort, stepwise multivariate logistic regression was conducted for HIBI and IHD scores, and model performance was assessed. We then classified patients into four categories and analysed associations between the categories and cerebral performance categories (CPCs) at hospital discharge. Finally, we validated our models in the internal validation cohort.
Results
Among 1373 patients, 240 were excluded, and 1133 were randomised into derivation (n=754) and validation cohorts (n=379). In the derivation cohort, 7 and 8 predictors were selected for HIBI (0–8) and IHD scores (0–11), respectively, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.85 (95% CI 0.82–0.87) and 0.80 (95% CI 0.77–0.82), respectively. Applying optimum cutoff values of ≥6 points for HIBI and ≥7 points for IHD, patients were classified as follows: HIBI (-)/IHD (-), Category 1 (n=424); HIBI (-)/IHD (+), Category 2 (n=100); HIBI (+)/IHD (-), Category 3 (n=21); and HIBI (+)/IHD (+), Category 4 (n=209). CPCs at discharge were significantly different in each category (p<0.001). In the validation cohort, the model showed moderate discrimination (AUC 0.83, 95% CI 0.79–0.87 for HIBI and AUC 0.77, 95% CI 0.72–0.81 for IHD) with good calibration. Each category of the validation cohort showed a significant difference in discharge outcomes (p<0.001) and a similar trend to the derivation cohort.
Conclusions
We presented a novel approach for assessing illness severity after OHCA. Although external prospective studies are warranted, risk stratification for HIBI and IHD could help provide OHCA patients with appropriate treatment.

Objective
To determine the clinical feasibility of novel serum biomarkers by comparing them with conventional serum biomarkers in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with target temperature management (TTM).
Methods
This study was a prospective observational study conducted on OHCA patients who underwent TTM. We measured serum biomarker Neuron‑Specific Enolase (NSE), S-100B (S100 calcium-binding protein), Tau protein, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Neurofilament Light Chain (NFL), and Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Conventional biomarkers include NSE and S-100B. The primary outcome was good neurologic outcome at 6 months after OHCA.
Results
A total of 100 patients were included in this study from August 2018 to May 2020. Among the included patients, 46 patients had good neurologic outcomes. As for the biomarker's AUC value measured immediately after ROSC, GFAP had the highest value (0.850), and among the values measured 24 hours after ROSC, S100B showed the highest value (0.901). The AUC values of biomarkers measured after 48 hours and 72 hours after ROSC, were the highest in NFL (0.921, 0.946). AUC values measured after 72 hours of ROSC showed higher values in novel biomarkers than in conventional biomarkers.
Conclusion
After 72 hours of ROSC, the Novel biomarkers showed a higher AUC value than the conventional biomarkers. Among them, NFL showed the highest AUC values than other biomarkers at 48 and 72 hours of ROSC.

Abstract
The shortage of freshwater supplies has restricted societal development. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging technology for desalination of seawater or brackish water, the performance of which is highly dependent on electrode materials. In this work, a molybdenum disulfide/carbon nanotube composite (CNTs-b-MoS2) with high capacitance was successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The composite exhibited a specific capacitance of 112.79 F g-1. To reduce costs and determine the practicality of using CNTs-b-MoS2 for CDI, we combined activated carbon (AC) with CNTs-b-MoS2 as a CDI electrode. The research demonstrated that after doping with 5% (mass ratio) CNTs-b-MoS2, the specific capacitance and electrosorption capacity of AC were significantly improved and the maximum desalination capacity of CNTs-b-MoS2/AC reached 8.19 mg g-1. The low dosage of CNTs-b-MoS2 combined with the high specific surface area of AC avoided the shortcomings of CNTs-b-MoS2, namely low specific surface area and high cost. Moreover, the outstanding conductivity of CNTs-b-MoS2 improved the conductivity and enhanced the adsorption capacity of AC, giving CNTs-b-MoS2/AC potential as an advanced, low-cost CDI electrode material.

Abstract
AIMS Medication for advanced sarcomas has not improved for three decades. Patient-derived tumour xenografts (PDTX) are a promising solution for developing new therapies and real-time personalised medicine because of their highly effective prediction of drug efficacy. However, there is a dearth of PDTX models for sarcomas due to the scarcity and heterogeneity of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multicentre clinical collaborative study (ChiCTR-OOC-17013617) was carried out. Fresh patient tumour tissues via resection or biopsy were used for the PDTX set-up. The standard medical care chosen by the physician was given to the patient, in parallel with testing on multiple regimens. The outcomes of patients' responses and PDTX tests were compared. Comprehensive analyses were carried out to assess the clinical value of PDTX for the treatment of sarcomas. Living tissues from successfully engrafted cases were deposited into a repository. RESULTS Forty-two cases, including 36 bone sarcomas and six soft-tissue sarcomas, were enrolled; the overall engraftment rate was 73.8%. Histopathological examination showed a 100% consistency between primary tumours and tumour grafts. The engraftment rate was independent of age, gender and sampling methods, but was associated with subtypes of tumour. The outgrowth time of tumour grafts could be associated with prognosis. Major somatic mutations in tumour grafts occurred primarily in common tumour driver genes. Poor prognosis was associated with the KMT2C mutation. A drug efficacy test showed complete concordance between the PDTX model and patients' responses in 17 regimens. CONCLUSION PDTX is an ideal preclinical model for sarcomas because of its faithful preservation of the heterogeneity of the disease, a satisfactory engraftment rate and high accuracy in its prediction of drug efficacy.

Abstract
We present in this work the development of an ultra-compact, multi-channel x-ray spectrometer (UCXS). This diagnostic has been specially built and adapted to perform at high-repetition-rate (>1 Hz) for high-intensity, short-pulse laser plasma experiments. X-ray filters of varying materials and thicknesses are chosen to provide spectral resolution up to ΔE ≈ 1 keV over the x-ray energy range of 1-30 keV. These filters are distributed over a total of 25 channels, where each x-ray filter is coupled to a single scintillator. The UCXS is designed to detect and resolve a large variety of laser-driven x-ray sources such as low energy bremsstrahlung emission, fluorescence, and betatron radiation (up to 30 keV). Preliminary results from commissioning experiments at the ABL laser facility at Colorado State University are provided.

Abstract
Tri(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP), a common organophosphate flame retardant, was frequently detected in the environment and posed threats to human health. In this work, the main component of ilmenite FeTiO3 was synthesized by the sol-gel method and employed as the catalyst for the degradation of TCPP by activating persulfate (PS) under UV irradiation. The degradation processes were fitted by the pseudo-first-order kinetic. The kobs value in UV/FeTiO3/PS system was up to 0.0056 min-1 and much higher than that in UV/PS (0.0014 min-1), UV/FeTiO3 (0.0012 min-1) and FeTiO3/PS (0.0016 min-1) systems, demonstrating a distinct synergistic effect in TCPP removal. The degradation efficiency of TCPP increased with the increase of UV intensity, PS concentration and catalyst dosage, and with the decrease of pH. By quenching experiment and EPR analysis, ·OH was confirmed to be the dominant radical in the reaction of the UV/FeTiO3/PS system. The possible degradation pathways of TCPP were dechlorination, dealkylation, and further oxidation of alkyl groups based on the theoretical calculation of frontier molecular orbits. The toxicity of degradation intermediates evaluated by luminescence inhibition rate of photoluminescence was higher than TCPP. Thus, TCPP can be degraded in the UV/FeTiO3/PS system effectively at the premise of introducing controlling measures to reduce the toxicity of degradation intermediates.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The number of hospitals offering transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) programs has increased exponentially in the United States over past several years. Multiple prior studies indicate relationship between hospital volume and clinical outcomes for various cardiac procedures.
Purpose
The association between the hospital procedural volume and clinical outcomes for TAVR is yet poorly understood. In this study, we aim to examine the in-hospital outcomes after TAVR stratified by hospital volume within a nationally representative, large database.
Methods
The National Readmission Database (NRD) 2016–2019 was used to identify hospitals with established TAVR programs (performing ≥20 TAVRs/year). Based on annualized procedural volume of transfemoral TAVR, hospitals were stratified into tertiles of low, medium, and high volume TAVR centers. Rates of adverse in-hospital events (death, cardiac arrest, stroke, vascular complications, and permanent pacemaker), 30-day mortality, and 30-day readmission rates were examined. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to compare overall outcomes following TAVR in low-, medium-, and high-volume centers; adjusted for baseline characteristics and comorbidity burden.
Results
Of 71 million discharge records reviewed, a total of 232,581 patients underwent transfemoral TAVR between 2016–2019. Of all the TAVR cases, 77,183 (33.2%), 75,987 (32.7%), and 79,411 (34.1%) were performed at low-, medium-, and high-volume hospitals respectively. The median number of annual TAVR procedures was 91, 229, and 456 in low-, medium-, and high-volume centers respectively. Adjusted in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in low-volume (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.21–1.62, p<0.01) and medium-volume (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.11–1.50, p<0.01) hospitals compared with high-volume centers. Similarly, adjusted 30-day mortality (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.27–1.66, p<0.01), 30-day readmission rates (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05–1.18, p<0.01), and in-hospital cardiac arrest (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.08–1.33, p<0.01) were significantly higher for centers in the lowest-volume tertile compared with those in the highest-volume tertile. There were no significant differences in hospital length of stay (mean, 4.3±6.5 days), in-hospital stroke, acute kidney injury, vascular complications, need for permanent pacemaker, or mechanical circulatory support post-TAVR between the three groups.
Conclusion
In the United States, an inverse volume-mortality relationship was observed for transfemoral TAVR procedures from 2016 through 2019. Mortality and readmission rates at 30 days post-TAVR were significantly higher at low-volume hospitals compared with high-volume hospitals. Further research focusing at establishing protocols and standardized training programs may help mitigate the discrepancy in TAVR outcomes amongst hospitals with discrepant procedural volume.

Abstract
Accurately and rapidly diagnosing laser-plasma interactions is often difficult due to the time-intensive nature of the analysis and will only become more so with the rise of high repetition rate lasers and the desire to implement feedback on a commensurate timescale. Diagnostic analysis employing machine learning techniques can help address this problem while maintaining a high degree of accuracy. We report on the application of machine learning to the analysis of a scintillator-based electron spectrometer for experiments on high intensity, laser-plasma interactions at the Colorado State University Advanced Lasers and Extreme Photonics facility. Our approach utilizes a neural network trained on synthetic data and tested on experiments to extract the accelerated electron temperature. By leveraging transfer learning, we demonstrate an improvement in the neural network accuracy, decreasing the network error by 50%.

Abstract
Short-pulse, laser-solid interactions provide a unique platform for studying complex high-energy-density matter. We present the first demonstration of solid-density, micron-scale keV plasmas uniformly heated by a high-contrast, 400 nm wavelength laser at intensities up to 2×10^{21} W/cm^{2}. High-resolution spectral analysis of x-ray emission reveals uniform heating up to 3.0 keV over 1 μm depths. Particle-in-cell simulations indicate the production of a uniformly heated keV plasma to depths of 2 μm. The significant bulk heating and presence of highly ionized ions deep within the target are attributed to the few MeV hot electrons that become trapped and undergo refluxing within the target sheath fields. These conditions enabled the differentiation of atomic physics models of ionization potential depression in high-energy-density environments.

Abstract
The transmission dynamics and health risks of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are inextricably linked to ineract with environment, climate, air pollution, and meteorological conditions. The spread of COVID-19 infection can thus perturb the 'planetary health' and livelihood by exerting impacts on the temporal and spatial variabilities of environmental pollution. Prioritization of COVID-19 by the health-care sector has been posing a serious threat to economic progress while undermining the efforts to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for environmental sustainability. Here, we review the multifaceted effects of COVID-19 with respect to environmental quality, climatic variables, SDGs, energy resilience, and sustainability programs. It is well perceived that COVID-19 may have long-lasting and profound effects on socio-economic systems, food security, livelihoods, and the 'nexus' indicators. To seek for the solution of these problems, consensus can be drawn to establish and ensure a sound health-care system, a sustainable environment, and a circular bioeconomy. A holistic analysis of COVID-19's effects on multiple sectors should help develop nature-based solutions, cleaner technologies, and green economic recovery plans to help maintain environmental sustainability, ecosystem resilience, and planetary health.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between CLOCK and BMAL1 genes and MEN2 medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Methods: Thirteen cases with MEN2 MTC and thirteen cases with non-MEN2 MTC were selected who were treated in the Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital between January 2013 and September 2021. Clinical indicators such as blood calcitonin level, tumor diameter and metastatic lymph node of patients were collected. The expression differences of CLOCK and BMAL1 between MEN2 MTC and para-carcinoma tissue as well as between MEN2 MTC and non-MEN2 MTC were detected by immunohistochemistry and qPCR. The correlation between lymph node metastasis and CLOCK or BMAL1 expression was analyzed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis combined with qPCR and correlation analysis was used to explore the expression regulation relationship between RET and circadian clock genes. The rhythm disorder of MEN2 cells was verified by lipopolysaccharide cell stimulation experiment after dexamethasone rhythm synchronization. Results: MEN2 MTC exhibited typical RET gene mutation. The mean blood calcitonin level, the tumor diameter and the number of metastatic lymph nodes of patients with MEN2 MTC were higher than those of patients with non-MEN2 MTC (t value was 2.76, 2.53, 2.26, all P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression levels of CLOCK and BMAL1 in MEN2 MTC were higher than those in non-MEN2 MTC, while negatively expressed in para-cancerous thyroid follicle. qPCR displayed that the expression of CLOCK gene in cancer tissues was higher than that in non-MEN2 MTC and para-cancerous tissues (t value was 2.68 and 2.86, all P<0.05); the expression of BMAL1 gene in MEN2 MTC was higher than that in non-MEN2 MTC and para-cancerous tissues (t value was 2.21 and 2.35, all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of CLOCK and BMAL1 genes were positively correlated with the number of lymph node metastases in patients with MEN2 MTC (r=0.65, P<0.001; r=0.52, P=0.005). PPI network analysis indicated that the expression of CLOCK gene was positively correlated with the abnormal expression of RET gene (r=0.96, P<0.001). With lipopolysaccharide to stimulate cultured cells in vitro after dexamethasone rhythm synchronization, the expressions of CLOCK and BMAL1 in MEN2 MTC cells (0.47±0.22 and 2.60±1.48) at 12 hours of synchronization were significantly lower than those in para-cancerous tissues (1.70±1.62 and 8.23±2.52), the difference was statistically significant(t=5.04, P=0.007; t=3.34, P=0.029). Conclusion: CLOCK and BMAL1 are correlated with the occurrence and development of MEN2 MTC, and may be potential targets for the development of new therapeutic strategies for MEN2 MTC.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks are a new type of catalyst precursor with high specific surface area and controllable composition, which can be modified by post-treatment and are suitable for use as cathode catalysts for Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Here, a self-doped nitrogen nanocatalyst (N-PC@CF) with a double-layered porous structure is rationally designed for flexible solid-state ZABs. The outer porous carbon shell of the N-PC@CF is highly hydrophilic and O2 permeable, while the layered porous structure exposes sufficient active sites to shorten the mass transfer distance, which would promote electrocatalytic performance and increase flexibility efficiently. The obtained N-PC@CF has an onset potential of 0.926 V and a half-wave potential of 0.843 V in the oxygen reduction reaction test, which is equivalent to commercial Pt/C. Most importantly, the maximum power density of the assembled ZAB is 134.7 mW cm-2 and it exhibits a specific capacity of 776.8 mA h g-1 at 10 mA cm-2, which is better than the 99.9 mW cm-2 of the Pt/C-based battery. An obvious improvement in the constant current discharge-charge cycle durability of the ZAB is found when compared with Pt/C. The specific capacities of ZAB with N-PC@CF as the air cathode at 5, 10 and 15 mA cm-2 are 842.7, 776.8 and 715.0 mAh g-1 (calculated by the mass of zinc consumed), respectively, corresponding to high energy densities of 1089.7, 977.3 and 842.2 Wh kg-1. A flexible solid-state battery is assembled with excellent flexibility and stability, even if the battery is folded into a large angle (160°). This work provides a new strategy for the design and synthesis of metal-free air cathodes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of physical activity on hip/knee osteoarthritis (OA) and how it varies by genetic susceptibility to OA remains inconclusive. METHODS In a cohort study of UK Biobank, 436,166 OA-free participants were recruited in 2006-2010 and followed for knee/hip OA until the end of 2020. 28 physical activity-related items were collected at baseline. Cox regression was used to estimate associations between physical activity behaviors, as well as major activity patterns (i.e., significant principal components[PCs] identified by principal component analysis), and risk of OA, adjusting for multiple confounders. We further stratified the analyses by polygenic risk score (PRS) for OA to examine the impact of genetic susceptibility to OA on the studied association. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 11.15 years, 13,227 hip and 21,119 knee OA cases were identified. 19, out of 28, studied items showed associations with increased OA risk. Compared with low adherence group(<1st tertile of PC score for each pattern), individuals with high adherence to five identified patterns were associated with increased risk of OA. The moderate adherence to "strenuous sports"(HR = 0.93, 95%CI: 0.89-0.97) and "walking for pleasure"(HR = 0.93, 95%CI: 0.89-0.98) patterns was associated with reduced OA. Similar risk patterns were obtained in the stratified analysis by PRS levels for OA. CONCLUSION High intensity of most activity patterns were associated with increased OA. However, a protective effect was suggested for moderate adherence to patterns of "strenuous sports" and "walking for pleasure" that consistent across different genetic susceptibilities, underscoring the potential benefits of moderate-intensity physical activity on OA.

Abstract
Herein, an atomically dispersed palladium catalyst on a hierarchical porous structure of N-doped carbon (Pd1/N-C) is prepared using a facile freeze-drying-assisted strategy. Freeze-drying methods not only suppress the aggregation of Pd atoms but also successfully produce abundant nanopores. HAADF-STEM confirms that Pd single atoms are uniformly anchored on the N-C surface. The Pd1/N-C electrocatalyst enhances the ORR and OER activity and durability compared to N-C and Pd-NPs/N-C. Rechargeable Zn-air batteries (ZABs) based on novel Pd1/N-C exhibit a peak power density of 113.7 mW cm-2 and maintain a voltage efficiency of 64.0% after 495 cycles at a discharge current density of 5 mA cm-2. Besides, two ZABs in series can supply an LED light for at least 170 h.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the feasibility of an ultra-low volume contrast media (CM) protocol for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 214 patients receiving coronary CTA were enrolled prospectively and divided into group A (n=107) receiving a conventional dose of CM and group B (n=107) receiving an ultra-low dose. CT values of the right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD), and left circumflex artery (LCX) were measured and radiation doses recorded. The image quality was compared between the groups. Changes in renal function indices and proteinuria before, 24, and 72 hours after coronary CTA among those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were also assessed. RESULTS There were significant differences in CT values and radiation doses between groups A and B. In group A, the average RCA, LAD, and LCX CT values were 412.5 ± 79.2, 423.5 ± 73.7, and 422.0 ± 88.1 HU, respectively. In group B, the average RCA, LAD, and LCX CT values were 275.2 ± 16.2, 277.8 ± 16.4, and 278.9 ± 16.5 HU, respectively. The radiation dose in the ultra-low protocol recipients (118.70 ± 18.52 mGy·cm) was significantly lower than that used in conventional coronary CTA (131.75 ± 20.96 mGy·cm). The image quality of group B was comparable to that of group A, satisfying the diagnostic requirement. In patients with mild CKD, there were no significant differences in renal functions after coronary CTA. CONCLUSION An ultra-low CM protocol was established for coronary CTA, providing comparable image quality and diagnostic yields but significantly lower radiation dose compared with a conventional protocol. This new protocol might be applicable to patients with mild CKD.

Abstract
Flexible sensing is an alternative to traditional sensing and possesses good flexibility and wearability. Intrinsically conductive polymers, particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), have received significant attention due to their high mechanical flexibility and good biocompatibility. Here, we report the design of highly conductive and electrochemically active PEDOT:PSS-coated plastic substrate electrodes by combining N-doped graphene (NG) or S-doped graphene (SG) with methanesulfonic acid-treated PEDOT:PSS (denoted as NG-f-MSA-PEDOT:PSS/PET and SG-f-MSA-PEDOT:PSS/PET) by a simple drop-coating method. At room temperature, the NG-f-MSA-PEDOT:PSS/PET electrode demonstrated the lowest detection limits of 17.09, 33.84, 28.30, and 44.96 nM for paracetamol, uric acid, dopamine, and catechol (S/N = 3), respectively. The NG-f-MSA-PEDOT:PSS/PET electrode had good anti-interference ability and reproducibility without employing expensive noble metals and requiring much effort to polish the surface of traditional glass carbon electrodes. Most importantly, this film electrode could maintain a stable electrochemical response under different bending and crease states and had excellent mechanical stability and flexibility.

Abstract
The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson was the last missing component of the model. After observation of the Higgs boson, a measurement of the W boson mass provides a stringent test of the model. We measure the W boson mass, MW, using data corresponding to 8.8 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a 1.96 tera-electron volt center-of-mass energy with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A sample of approximately 4 million W boson candidates is used to obtain [Formula: see text], the precision of which exceeds that of all previous measurements combined (stat, statistical uncertainty; syst, systematic uncertainty; MeV, mega-electron volts; c, speed of light in a vacuum). This measurement is in significant tension with the standard model expectation.

Abstract
Freshwater resources are one of the core elements that affect the harmonious development of mankind and society. Capacitive deionization (CDI) technology is one of the effective methods to transform brackish water into fresh water. The choice of material for a CDI electrode is critical to its electrosorption performance, which directly affects the electrosorption performance through interface optimization. Herein, protonated carbon nitride (H-C3N4)-modified graphene oxide (H-C3N4-mGO1/8) is fabricated by a simultaneous nucleophilic addition and amide reaction in order to enhance capacitive deionization of a very low concentration brackish water. Using activated carbon (AC) as the positive electrode and H-C3N4-mGO1/8 as the negative electrode, H-C3N4-mGO1/8 || AC asymmetric CDI devices are used to remove ions from a NaCl aqueous solution. The CDI test results indicate that the system has a high electrosorption capacity of 8.36 mg g-1 in the 50 mg L-1 NaCl solution with a low applied voltage of 1.2 V, which is 1.40 times than AC || AC symmetric. Moreover, the CDI device performs faster adsorption rate of 0.1879 mg (g·min)-1 and an excellent regeneration efficiency of 100%. The salt electrosorption capacity, electrosorption rate of the H-C3N4-mGO1/8 || AC asymmetric electrodes improve with increasing applied voltage due to the stronger Coulombic interaction between the electrode and charged ions with the formation of a more sufficient electric double layer principle.

Abstract
With the increasing complexity of water environment pollution, it is becoming ever more practical to study the simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants in water. Electrochemical advanced oxidation technology is considered to be one of the most promising green approaches for the degradation of organic pollutants. Herein, Ti3+ and oxygen vacancies (VO) self-doped TiO2-x nanotube array electrodes are employed to investigate the simultaneous degradation and an energy consumption assessment for the effective removal of the antibiotics tetracycline (TC) and metronidazole (MNZ). The electrocatalytic performance of the nanotube arrays prepared at different reduction times is significantly different. The electrochemical reduction of TiO2 nanotube arrays for 10 min presents the best degradation performance for TC and MNZ. When a mixed solution of TC and MNZ is simultaneously degraded, the removal rate of TC (50 mg L-1) and MNZ (50 mg L-1) within 3 h reaches 100%, while the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate is 79.1%. The energy consumption is significantly reduced compared to the degradation of a single substance. Simultaneously, the current utilization rate of the electrochemical degradation system is also significantly improved, with a specific energy consumption of only 85.78 kWh kg-1 and an average current efficiency that can reach 20.2%.

Abstract
Element-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) with optimized active sites provide an effective approach for significantly improving electrocatalytic performance. The challenges in such construction mainly include selection of green dopant and control of active sites. Herein, we present phytic acid as a phosphorus source for P-doped TNAs. An oxygen vacancy (Ov) and P co-doped TNAs (P-TiO2-y) was prepared as an electrochemical oxidation anode. P-TiO2-y exhibits excellent degradation activity due to the formation of Ti-O-P bonds and generation of Ov. P-doping was beneficial in improving the oxygen evolution potential of the electrode, which would be benefit for electrocatalytic degradation of pollutants. Using the P-TiO2-y anode with a current density of 10 mA/cm2 for tetracycline degradation, after a 3 h treatment, the removal rate, chemical oxygen demand and total organic carbon removal rates were 100%, 90.32% and 76.60%, respectively. The P-TiO2-y also has excellent degradation performance for phenol, hydroquinone, p-nitrophenol and metronidazole.

Abstract
To explore the protective effects of L-carnitine on erectile function and reproductive function in rats with diabetes. A total of 60 male diabetes mellitus induced-erectile dysfunction (DMED) rats were randomly divided into three groups, 20 rats in each group. The blank group was fed normally, the control group was fed with 0.9% sodium chloride solution 5 ml/kg/day, and the experimental group was given L-carnitine 300 mg/kg/day. After six weeks, the Corpus cavernosum penis pressure (ICP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured. The sperm of epididymis were taken to detect the parameters of sperm. After six weeks of treatment, ICP and MAP in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05), and sperm density and PR in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group and the blank group (p < 0.05). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05). Malondialdehyde (MDA) in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05). The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group and blank group (p < 0.05). We conclude that L-carnitine can significantly improve erectile function and reproductive function in rats with diabetes and it has great potential in the treatment of systemic organ damage in DMED rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to elucidate the regulatory effects of microRNA-655-3p (miR-655-3p) on growth and invasiveness of trophoblasts to influence the development of preeclampsia (PE). PATIENTS AND METHODS Relative levels of miR-655-3p and PBX3 in 24 PE pregnant women and 24 healthy ones were examined. Then, the regulatory effects of miR-655-3p and PBX3 on viability and invasiveness in HTR-8/SVneo cells were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assay, respectively. Next, the expression levels of apoptosis-associated genes were determined. Finally, the interaction between miR-655-3p and PBX3 was tested by Dual-Luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS MiR-655-3p was upregulated in placental tissues of PE pregnant women than those of healthy ones. The overexpression of miR-655-3p suppressed viability and invasiveness, and induced apoptosis in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Besides, PBX3 was the target gene binding to miR-655-3p, and more importantly, the overexpression of PBX3 partially reversed the regulatory effects of miR-655-3p on viability and invasiveness in HTR-8/SVneo cells. CONCLUSIONS MiR-655-3p is involved in the development of PE by regulating biological features of trophoblasts by targeting PBX3.
