Abstract
Resting tremor is the most common presenting motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD). The supplementary motor area (SMA) is a main target of the basal-ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuit and has direct, facilitatory connections with the primary motor cortex (M1), which is important for the execution of voluntary movement. Dopamine potentially modulates SMA and M1 activity, and both regions have been implicated in resting tremor. This study investigated SMA-M1 connectivity in individuals with PD ON and OFF dopamine medication, and whether SMA-M1 connectivity is implicated in resting tremor. Dual-site transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to measure SMA-M1 connectivity in PD participants ON and OFF levodopa. Resting tremor was measured using electromyography and accelerometry. Stimulating SMA inhibited M1 excitability OFF levodopa, and facilitated M1 excitability ON levodopa. ON medication, SMA-M1 facilitation was significantly associated with smaller tremor than SMA-M1 inhibition. The current findings contribute to our understanding of the neural networks involved in PD which are altered by levodopa medication and provide a neurophysiological basis for the development of interventions to treat resting tremor.

Abstract
Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels are expected to be ideal skin tissue engineering dressings for a wide range of clinical treatments. Herein, we report the preparation of GelMA or antifreeze GelMA hydrogel sheets with different GelMA concentrations, crosslinking times, and cryoprotectant (CPA) concentrations. The crystallization properties of GelMA or antifreeze GelMA hydrogel sheets were studied by cryomicroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the growth of ice crystals was slower when GelMA hydrogel concentration was more than 7%. The 10% DMSO-7% GelMA hydrogel sheets crosslinked for 60 min showed no ice crystal formation and growth during cooling and warming. The DSC results showed that the vitrification temperature of the 10% DMSO-7% GelMA hydrogel sheet was -111°C. Furthermore, slow freezing and rapid freezing of fibroblast-laden GelMA or antifreeze GelMA hydrogel sheets, and tissue-engineered skin constructs were studied. The results showed no significant difference in cell survival between slow (88.8% ± 1.51) and rapid (89.2% ± 3.00) freezing of fibroblast-loaded 10% DMSO-7% GelMA hydrogel sheets, and significantly higher than that of 7% GelMA hydrogel sheets (33.4% ± 5.46). The cell viability was higher in tissue-engineered skin constructs after slow freezing (86.34% ± 1.45) than rapid freezing (72.74% ± 1.34). We believe that the combination of antifreeze hydrogels and tissue engineering will facilitate the cryopreservation of tissue engineering constructs.

Abstract
Obesity is one of the most common metabolic diseases around the world, which is distinguished by the abnormal buildup of triglycerides within adipose cells. Recent research has revealed that autophagy regulates lipid mobilization to maintain energy balance. TIGAR (Trp53 induced glycolysis regulatory phosphatase) has been identified as a glycolysis inhibitor, whether it plays a role in the metabolism of lipids is unknown. Here, we found that TIGAR transgenic (TIGAR+/+) mice exhibited increased fat mass and trended to obesity phenotype. Non-target metabolomics showed that TIGAR caused the dysregulation of the metabolism profile. The quantitative transcriptome sequencing identified an increased levels of LRRK2 and RAB7B in the adipose tissue of TIGAR+/+ mice. It was confirmed in vitro that TIGAR overexpression increased the levels of LRRK2 by inhibiting polyubiquitination degradation, thereby suppressing macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) while increasing lipid accumulation which were reversed by the LRRK2 inhibitor DNL201. Furthermore, TIGAR drove LRRK2 to interact with RAB7B for suppressing lysosomal degradation of lipid droplets, while the increased lipid droplets in adipocytes were blocked by the RAB7B inhibitor ML282. Additionally, fat-specific TIGAR knockdown of TIGAR+/+ mice alleviated the symptoms of obesity, and adipose tissues-targeting superiority DNL201 nano-emulsion counteracted the obesity phenotype in TIGAR+/+ mice. In summary, the current results indicated that TIGAR performed a vital function in the lipid metabolism through LRRK2-mediated negative regulation of macroautophagy and CMA in adipocyte. The findings suggest that TIGAR has the potential to serve as a viable therapeutic target for treating obesity and its associated metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to establish a mouse model of Graves' disease (GD) with Graves' orbitopathy (GO; GD + GO) that can represent the clinical disease characteristics. METHODS A eukaryotic expression plasmid of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) α subunit (pcDNA3.1/IGF-1Rα) and a thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) A subunit plasmid (pcDNA3.1/TSHR-289) were injected in female BALB/c mice followed by immediate electroporation to induce a GD + GO model. Grouping was performed according to the frequency of injection (2- to 4-week intervals) and type of injected plasmids: T: pcDNA3.1/TSHR-289( +), I: pcDNA3.1/IGF-1Rα( +), or co-injection T + I: pcDNA3.1/TSHR-289( +) and pcDNA3.1/IGF-1Rα( +). Serum TSH, T4, TSAb, TSBAb, body weight, and blood glucose levels were evaluated. Thyroid 99mTcO4- imaging and retrobulbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed, and bilateral eye muscle volumes were measured. Immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin-eosin staining were performed on the relevant tissues, and semi-quantitative analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 60% of mice (3/5, one mouse died) in the T group developed GD + GO. In the T + I group, 83.3% of mice (5/6) developed GD + GO. Mice in the I group did not develop GD. Compared with the control group, serum T4, TSAb, and TSBAb of the mice in the GD + GO model groups were increased to varying degrees (P < 0.05), and serum TSH and body weight were significantly lower compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The thyroid uptake capacity of 99mTcO4- and the volume of eye muscle of mice in the GD + GO group were significantly higher compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The thyroid and retrobulbar muscles of these mice showed varying inflammatory infiltration and interstitial muscle edema. The severity of GD + GO in the co-injection group was not related to injection frequency; however, GD and ocular signs in co-injection mice were more severe compared to the T group. CONCLUSIONS We successfully induced a GD + GO mouse model by a repeated co-injection of pcDNA3.1/IGF-1Rα and pcDNA3.1/TSHR-289 plasmids. Injection of pcDNA3.1/IGF-1Rα alone failed to induce GD. Co-injection of two plasmids induced more severe GD + GO than pcDNA3.1/TSHR-289( +) alone.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) has sparked increasing interest for catalytic antitumor treatment due to their more tunable and diverse active sites than natural metalloenzymes in complex physiological conditions. However, it is usually a hard task to precisely conduct catalysis at tumor sites after intravenous injection of those SAzyme with high reactivity. Moreover, the explorations of SAzymes in the anticancer application are still in its infancy and need to be developed. Herein, an in situ synthesis strategy for Cu SAzyme was constructed to convert adsorbed copper ions into isolated atoms anchored by oxygen atoms (Cu-O2/Cu-O4) via GSH-responsive deformability of supports. Our results suggest that the in situ activation process could further facilitate the dissociation of copper ions and the consumption of glutathione, thereby leading to copper deposition in cytoplasm and triggering cuproptosis. Moreover, the in situ synthesis of Cu SAzyme with peroxidase-like activity enabled the intracellular reactive oxygen species production, resulting in specifically disturbance of copper metabolism pathway. Meanwhile, the in situ exposed glucose transporter (GLUT) inhibitor phloretin (Ph) can block the glycose uptake to boost cuproptosis efficacy. Overall, this in situ activation strategy effectively diminished the off-target effects of SACs-induced catalytic therapies and introduced a promising treatment paradigm for advancing cuproptosis-associated therapies.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of early eschar dermabrasion combined with antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing (hereinafter referred to as foam dressing) in treating the deep partial-thickness burn wounds in children. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial. From June 2021 to December 2022, 78 pediatric patients with deep partial-thickness burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burns in Guiyang Steel Plant Employees Hospital. According to the random number table, the pediatric patients were divided into two groups, with 38 cases left in combined treatment group (with 20 males and 18 females, aged 26.00 (16.75, 39.75) months) and 39 cases in foam dressing group (with 21 males and 18 females, aged 19.00 (14.00, 31.00) months) after the exclusion of one dropped-out child in follow-up. The pediatric patients in combined treatment group underwent eschar dermabrasion of the wound within 48 hours after injury, the wound was covered with foam dressing after operation, and the dressing was replaced once every 7 days; for the pediatric patients in foam dressing group, the wound was sterilized within 48 hours after injury and covered with foam dressing, and the dressing was replaced once every 2 to 3 days. After the wound healing, the children in both groups were routinely applied with silicone gel twice a day for 3 weeks before started wearing elastic sleeves for more than 18 hours a day, and continuously for over than 6 months. The degree of pain during dressing change was evaluated using the children's pain behavior inventory FLACC. The adverse reactions during the treatment period, number of dressing changes, and wound healing time were observed and recorded. Six months after wound healing, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the condition of the wound scar. Results: When changing dressing, the FLACC score for pain of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was 3.5 (2.0, 5.0), which was significantly lower than 6.0 (5.0, 8.0) in foam dressing group (Z=-5.40, P<0.05). During the treatment period, no adverse reactions such as wound edema, fluid accumulation, or peripheral skin rash allergies occurred in any pediatric patient in both groups. The number of dressing changes of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was 3 (3, 4) times, which was significantly less than 8 (7, 10) times in foam dressing group (Z=-7.58, P<0.05). The wound healing time of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was (19±5) days, which was significantly shorter than (25±6) days in foam dressing group (t=-4.48, P<0.05). Six months after wound healing, the VSS score for scar of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was 5 (2, 8), which was significantly lower than 7 (5, 10) in foam dressing group (Z=-3.05, P<0.05). Conclusions: Compared with using foam dressings alone, early eschar dermabrasion combined with foam dressings can reduce the number of dressing changes, alleviate the pain during dressing changes, and shorten the wound healing time in treating children with deep partial-thickness burns, and effectively alleviate scar hyperplasia by combining with anti-scar treatment post burns.

Abstract
Testicular tissue culture in vitro is considered an important tool for the study of spermatogenesis and the treatment of male infertility. Although agarose hydrogel is commonly used in testicular tissue culture, the efficiency of spermatogenesis in vitro is limited. In this study, testicular tissues from adult mice were cultured using a gas-liquid interphase method based on agarose (Agarose), gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), alginate methacryloyl (AlgMA), dextran methacryloyl (DexMA), and mixture GelMA-Agarose, AlgMA-Agarose, and DexMA-Agarose hydrogels, respectively, for 32 days in vitro. The integrity of the seminiferous tubules, the density and proportions of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, Sertoli cells, and testosterone concentrations were quantified and compared between groups. Properties of different hydrogels including compression modulus, Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FITR) spectra, pore size, water absorption, and water retention were tested to investigate how biochemical and physical properties of hydrogels affect the results of testicular tissue culture. The results indicate that testicular tissues cultured on AlgMA exhibited the highest seminiferous tubule integrity rate (0.835 ± 0.021), the presence of a high density of spermatocytes (2107.627 ± 232.082/mm2), and a high proportion of SOX9-positive well-preserved seminiferous tubules (0.473 ± 0.047) compared to all remaining experimental groups on day 32. This may be due to the high water content of AlgMA reducing the toxic effect of oxygen on testicular tissue. In the later period of culture, testicular tissues cultured on DexMA, not DexMA-Agarose, produced significantly more testosterone (18.093 ± 3.302 ng/mL) than the other groups, suggesting that DexMA is friendly to Leydig cells. Our study provides a new idea for the optimization of the gas-liquid interphase method for achieving in vitro spermatogenesis, facilitating the future achievement of efficient in vitro spermatogenesis in more species, including humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Late recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver resection is regarded as a de novo tumor primarily related to the severity of underlying liver disease. We aimed to investigate risk factors, especially spleen volume, associated with late recurrence in patients with HCC and cirrhosis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 301 patients with HCC and cirrhosis who received curative resection and preoperative MRI. Patients were followed for late recurrence for at least 2 years. Spleen volume was automatically measured on MRI with artificial intelligence techniques, and qualitative MRI imaging features reflecting tumor aggressiveness were evaluated. Uni- and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors and a risk score was developed to predict late recurrence. RESULTS Eighty-four (27.9%) patients developed late recurrence during follow-up. Preoperative spleen volume was independently associated with late recurrence, and patients with a volume > 370 cm3 had significantly higher recurrence risk (hazard ratio 2.02, 95%CI 1.31-3.12, p = 0.002). Meanwhile, no qualitative imaging features were associated with late recurrence. A risk score was developed based on the APRI score, spleen volume, and tumor number, which had time-dependent area under the curve ranging from 0.700 to 0.751. The risk score at a cutoff of 0.42 allowed for the identification of two risk categories with distinct risk of late recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative spleen volume on MRI was independently associated with late recurrence after curative-intent resection in patients with HCC and cirrhosis. A risk score was proposed for individualized risk prediction and tailoring of postoperative surveillance strategies. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Spleen volume measured on MRI with the aid of AI techniques was independently predictive of late HCC recurrence after liver resection. A risk score based on spleen volume, APRI score, and tumor number was developed for accurate prediction of late recurrence. KEY POINTS • Preoperative spleen volume measured on MRI was independently associated with late recurrence after curative-intent resection in patients with HCC and cirrhosis. • Qualitative MRI features reflecting tumor aggressiveness were not associated with late recurrence. • A risk score based on spleen volume was developed for accurate prediction of late recurrence and risk stratification.

Abstract
In recent years, the infection rate of avian encephalomyelitis virus (AEV) infection in chickens has risen significantly, seriously endangering the development of the chicken industry. In order to study the current epidemiological status of AEV in China as well as the genetic and evolutionary patterns of the virus, we conducted a survey and genomic analysis of chicken AEV. The results showed that 46.26% (136/294) of the tissue samples tested (n = 294) were positive for AEV, with the highest positivity rate of 62.24% (61/98) among tissue samples from chickens aged 13 to 18 wk. The complete genomes of 2 representative AEV strains were determined, and the VP1 evolutionary tree results revealed that the 2 representative strains belonged to a novel AEV strain. Multiple alignment analysis showed that the ORF1 genes of the 2 representative strains differed by 82.3 to 99.9% at the amino acid level compared with the reference AEV strain, and the mutations at the key amino acid loci of VP2 and VP3 were the same as those in the chick embryo-adapted strain. The analysis makes up for the molecular epidemiological data and genetic variation of the 2 representative strains. The analysis makes up for the molecular epidemiological data and genetic variation of AEV and provides a basis for further understanding the spread of AEV in China.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced photoimmunotherapy has aroused great interest due to its intrinsic noninvasiveness and spatiotemporal precision, while immune evasion evoked by lactic acid (LA) accumulation severely limits its clinical outcomes. Although several metabolic interventions have been devoted to ameliorate immunosuppression, intracellular residual LA still remains a potential energy source for oncocyte proliferation. Herein, an immunomodulatory nanoadjuvant based on a yolk-shell CoP/NiCoP (CNCP) heterostructure loaded with the monocarboxylate transporter 4 inhibitor fluvastatin sodium (Flu) is constructed to concurrently relieve immunosuppression and elicit robust antitumor immunity. Under NIR irradiation, CNCP heterojunctions exhibit superior photothermal performance and photocatalytic production of reactive oxygen species and hydrogen. The continuous heat then facilitates Flu release to restrain LA exudation from tumor cells, whereas cumulative LA can be depleted as a hole scavenger to improve photocatalytic efficiency. Subsequently, potentiated photocatalytic therapy can not only initiate systematic immunoreaction, but also provoke severe mitochondrial dysfunction and disrupt the energy supply for heat shock protein synthesis, in turn realizing mild photothermal therapy. Consequently, LA metabolic remodeling endows an intensive cascade treatment with an optimal safety profile to effectually suppress tumor proliferation and metastasis, which offers a new paradigm for the development of metabolism-regulated immunotherapy.

Abstract
Charge migration initiated by the coherent superposition of several electronic states is a basic process in intense laser-matter interactions. Observing this process on its intrinsic timescale is one of the central goals of attosecond science. Here, using forward-scattering photoelectron holography we theoretically demonstrate a scheme to probe the charge migration in molecules. In our scheme, by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, the photoelectron momentum distributions (PEMDs) for strong-field tunneling ionization of the molecule are obtained. For a superposition state, it is shown that an intriguing shift of the holographic interference appears in the PEMDs, when the molecule is aligned perpendicularly to the linearly polarized laser field. With the quantum-orbit analysis, we demonstrate that this shift of the interference fringes is caused by the time evolution of the non-stationary superposition state. By analyzing the dependence of the shift on the final parallel momentum of the electrons, the relative phase and the expansion coefficient ratio of the two electronic states involved in the superposition state are determined accurately. Our study provides an efficient method for probing the charge migration in molecules. It will facilitate the application of the forward-scattering photoelectron holography to survey the electronic dynamics in more complex molecules.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been widely praised as nanoadjuvants in vaccine/tumor immunotherapy thanks to their excellent biocompatibility, easy-to-modify surface, adjustable particle size, and remarkable immuno-enhancing activity. However, the application of MSNs is still greatly limited by some severe challenges including the unclear and complicated relationships of structure and immune effect. Herein, three commonly used MSNs with different skeletons including MSN with tetrasulfide bonds (TMSN), MSN containing ethoxy framework (EMSN), and pure -Si-O-Si- framework of MSN (MSN) are comprehensively compared to study the impact of chemical construction on immune effect. The results fully demonstrate that the three MSNs have great promise in improving cellular immunity for tumor immunotherapy. Moreover, the TMSN performs better than the other two MSNs in antigen loading, cellular uptake, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lymph node targeting, immune activation, and therapeutic efficiency. The findings provide a new paradigm for revealing the structure-function relationship of mesoporous silica nanoadjuvants, paving the way for their future clinical application.

Abstract
1. It was hypothesised that a circular RIPK2 (circRIPK2) highly expressed in chicken macrophages plays an important role during bacterial infection.2. After PCR amplification, Sanger sequencing and RNase R exonuclease treatment of chicken macrophages, it was found that circRIPK2 was a stable circular RNA, which was formed by reverse splicing of exons 4 to 9 of the RIPK2.3. The circRIPK2 can promote the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced cellular injury by reducing cell viability and increasing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis genes.4. Six miRNAs were identified as interacting with circRIPK2, potentially targeting 1,817 genes, which were significantly enriched in the Wnt signalling pathway, adherens junction and NOD-like receptor signalling pathway.5. This study provides better understanding of the function of circRIPK2, which may prove a potential biomarker and indicate potential targets for the treatment of bacterial infection.

Abstract
A flexible manipulator is a versatile automated device with a wide range of applications, capable of performing various tasks. However, these manipulators are often vulnerable to external disturbances and face limitations in their ability to control actuators. These factors significantly impact the precision of tracking control in such systems. This study delves into the problem of attitude tracking control for a flexible manipulator under the constraints of control input limitations and the influence of external disturbances. To address these challenges effectively, we first introduce the backstepping method, aiming to achieve precise state tracking and tackle the issue of external disturbances. Additionally, recognizing the constraints posed by control input limitations in the flexible manipulator's actuator control system, we employ a design approach based on the Nussbaum function. This method is designed to overcome these limitations, allowing for more robust control. To validate the effectiveness and disturbance rejection capabilities of the proposed control strategy, we conduct comparative numerical simulations using MATLAB/Simulink. These simulations provide further evidence of the robustness and reliability of the control strategy, even in the presence of external disturbances and control input limitations.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming, as one of the characteristics of cancer, is associated with tumorigenesis, growth, or migration, and the modulation of metabolic pathways has emerged as a novel approach for cancer therapy. However, the conventional metabolism-mediated apoptosis process in tumor cells exhibits limited immunogenicity and inadequate activation of antitumor immunity. Herein, phospholipid-coated sodium citrate nanoparticles (PSCT NPs) are successfully prepared, which dissolve in tumor cells and then release significant amounts of citrate ions and Na+ ions. Massive quantities of ions lead to increased intracellular osmotic pressure, which activates the caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) mediated pyroptosis pathway. Simultaneously, citrate induces activation of the caspase-8/gasdermin C (GSDMC) pathway. The combined action of these two pathways synergistically causes intense pyroptosis, exhibiting remarkable antitumor immune responses and tumor growth inhibition. This discovery provides new insight into the potential of nanomaterials in modulating metabolism and altering cell death patterns to enhance antitumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
The cGAS-STING pathway, as a vital innate immune signaling pathway, has attracted considerable attention in tumor immunotherapy research. However, STING agonists are generally incapable of targeting tumors, thus limiting their clinical applications. Here, a photodynamic polymer (P1) is designed to electrostatically couple with 56MESS-a cationic platinum (II) agent-to form NPPDT -56MESS. The accumulation of NPPDT -56MESS in the tumors increases the efficacy and decreases the systemic toxicity of the drugs. Moreover, NPPDT -56MESS generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the excitation with an 808 nm laser, which then results in the disintegration of NPPDT -56MESS. Indeed, the ROS and 56MESS act synergistically to damage DNA and mitochondria, leading to a surge of cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). This way, the cGAS-STING pathway is activated to induce anti-tumor immune responses and ultimately enhance anti-cancer activity. Additionally, the administration of NPPDT -56MESS to mice induces an immune memory effect, thus improving the survival rate of mice. Collectively, these findings indicate that NPPDT -56MESS functions as a chemotherapeutic agent and cGAS-STING pathway agonist, representing a combination chemotherapy and immunotherapy strategy that provides novel modalities for the treatment of uveal melanoma.

Abstract
Although immunotherapy has a broad clinical application prospect, it is still hindered by low immune responses and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Herein, a simple and drug-free inorganic nanomaterial, alkalescent sodium bicarbonate nanoparticles (NaHCO3 NPs), is prepared via a fast microemulsion method for amplified cancer immunotherapy. The obtained alkalescent NaHCO3 regulates lactic acid metabolism through acid-base neutralization so as to reverse the mildly acidic immunosuppressive tumor environment. Additionally, it can further release high amounts of Na+ ions inside tumor cells and induce a surge in intracellular osmolarity, and thus activate the pyroptosis pathway and immunogenic cell death (ICD), release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and inflammatory factors, and improve immune responses. Collectively, NaHCO3 NPs observably inhibit primary/distal tumor growth and tumor metastasis through acid neutralization remitted immunosuppression and pyroptosis induced immune activation, showing an enhanced antitumor immunity efficiency. This work provides a new paradigm for lactic acid metabolism and pyroptosis mediated tumor treatment, which has a potential for application in clinical tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese herbs have been widely researched as a green, safe, and effective feed additive for poultry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of traditional Chinese prescription (TCP) based on various herbs in a specific ratio on the growth performance, carcass traits, immunity, antioxidant level, and intestinal health of Ningdu yellow chickens. A total of 420 female Ningdu yellow chickens were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 6 replicates of 14 each. The chickens were fed with a basal diet supplemented with 0 (CON), 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, or 0.8% TCP from d 43 to 105. Body weight, feed intake, and serum biochemical indicators were recorded at d 70 and 105, intestinal morphology and microflora of the carcass were determined at d 105. Compared to the control group, chickens fed with TCP, particularly at the level of 0.6%, showed improved average daily gain and breast muscle percentage, as well as a lower feed-to-gain ratio with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Between 43 and 70 d of age, chickens fed with TCP exhibited higher levels of serum glutathione peroxidase activity, total antioxidant capacity, and superoxide dismutase, particularly in the group fed with the 0.6% level of TCP (P < 0.05). Between 43 and 105 d of age, feeding chickens with 0.4 and 0.6% TCP resulted in a decrease in serum IL-2 concentration, and increase in the IL-4 content (P < 0.05). Chickens fed with 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8% TCP had significantly higher jejunum villous height (P < 0.05), TCP supplementation also led to a marked increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroidota compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Collectively, the study suggests that TCP supplementation can enhance immune and antioxidant functions, improve jejunum morphology, and positively impact cecum microflora in chickens. Based on these results, a level of 0.6% TCP could be considered an optimum level as a feed supplement for Ningdu yellow chickens aged 43 to 105 d.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Super-selected intra-arterial chemotherapy has increasingly been used as conservative management for retinoblastoma during the past decade. However, the absence of evidence from randomised controlled trials engendered controversy in the administration route of chemotherapy. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial chemotherapy compared with intravenous chemotherapy. METHODS This open-label, multicentre, randomised trial was done at six hospitals in China. Patients with new-onset unilateral group D or E retinoblastoma (poorly defined, large, or very large tumours, according to the International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification) without high-risk clinical factors were included. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive intra-arterial chemotherapy (injections of 0·5 mg/kg [or depending on age] melphalan with 20 mg carboplatin [first and third cycles] or with 1 mg topotecan [second and fourth cycles]) or intravenous chemotherapy (0·05 mg/kg [or 1·5 mg/m2] vincristine, 5 mg/kg [or 150 mg/m2] etoposide, and 18·6 mg/kg [or 560 mg/m2] carboplatin for six cycles). After intra-arterial chemotherapy, patients received a subcutaneous injection of 0·1 mL nadroparin calcium twice at a 12 h interval. Both intra-arterial and intravenous chemotherapy cycles were completed every 4 weeks. No masking was done, except of independent statisticians, who were masked to the allocation information. The primary outcome was 2-year progression-free globe salvage rate, defined as the time from randomisation to tumour progression or enucleation, whichever occurred first, and was analysed by intention to treat. We also recorded predefined safety outcomes (myelosuppression and ophthalmic arterial stenosis or occlusion) and severe adverse events likely to be related to study treatment. The study is registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-IPR-15006469, and is complete. FINDINGS Between June 1, 2015, and June 1, 2018, 234 patients with newly diagnosed retinoblastoma were screened and 143 eligible patients (median age 23·6 months [IQR 14·0-31·9]) were enrolled and randomly assigned to the intra-arterial chemotherapy group (n=72) or the intravenous chemotherapy group (n=71). At a median follow-up of 35·8 months (IQR 28·4-43·0), the 2-year progression-free globe salvage rate was 53% (38 of 72 patients) in the intra-arterial chemotherapy group and 27% (19 of 71 patients) in the intravenous chemotherapy group (risk ratio 1·97, 95% CI 1·27-3·07, p=0·0020). Myelosuppression was less common in the intra-arterial chemotherapy group than in the intravenous chemotherapy group (37 [51%] of 72 patients vs 50 [70%] of 71 patients; 0·73, 95% CI 0·56-0·96, p=0·021) and less severe (ptrend=0·0070). In the intra-arterial chemotherapy group, two (3%) of 72 patients had ophthalmic artery occlusion and 13 (18%) patients had ophthalmic artery stenosis. INTERPRETATION Our findings show that intra-arterial chemotherapy could significantly improve the globe salvage rate in children with advanced unilateral retinoblastoma compared with intravenous chemotherapy, with mild systemic complications and no difference in overall survival rate. Intra-arterial chemotherapy could be an acceptable first-line treatment in children with advanced unilateral retinoblastoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is a class of diseases that makes seriously endanger to the vision of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. This study aims to observe the visual function changes in patients with DON, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of indicators diagnosing DON. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 98 eyes of 49 patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) who were treated in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2017 to December 2019. All patients were received the examination of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Humphrey visual field, visual evoked potential (VEP), and contrast sensitivity. Ninety-eight eyes were divided into a DON group (45 eyes) and a non-DON group (53 eyes). T-test was used to compare the related indicators between the 2 groups. The sensitivity and specificity of each indicator were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS The BCVA and visual field index (VFI) of the DON group were significantly lower than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05). The mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD) of the DON group were significantly higher than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05). The low frequency contrast sensitivity (CSL), medium frequency contrast sensitivity (CSM), and high frequency contrast sensitivity (CSH) of the DON group were significantly lower than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05), with CSH being particularly prominent. Compared with the non-DON group, at spatial frequencies of 15°, 30°, and 60°, the amplitude of N135 wave was significantly reduced, and the latency of N75 wave, P100 wave, and N135 wave was significantly prolonged in the DON group (all P<0.05); at spatial frequencies of 15° and 30°, the amplitude of P100 wave was significantly reduced in the DON group (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of VFI, CSL, CSM, CSH and 15° P100 amplitude diagnosing DON were 0.812, 0.841, 0.880, 0.784, and 0.791, respectively, with CSM possessing the highest sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSIONS The visual function of patients with DON is decreased. VFI, contrast sensitivity of low, medium, and high frequency, and 15° P100 wave amplitude might be effective indicators for early diagnosis of DON.

Abstract
Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering because of their excellent biological and physical properties. Here, we used a microfluidic flow-focusing chip based on polymethyl methacrylate to fabricate cell-laden GelMA hydrogel microspheres. Structures of the throat region and photo crosslinking region on the chip, flow rate ratio of GelMA and oil phase, and GelMA concentration were optimized to obtain the stable and suitable size of microspheres. Cell-laden GelMA microspheres can be cryopreserved by slow freezing and rapid freezing. The survival rate of encapsulated cells after rapid freezing was significantly higher than that of unencapsulated cells. There was no significant difference between the results of the rapid freezing of encapsulated cells with 5% DMSO and the traditional slow freezing of suspended cells with 10% DMSO. It demonstrates the possibility that GelMA hydrogel itself can replace some of the cryoprotective agents and has some protective effect on cells. Our study provides new ideas to optimize GelMA hydrogels for cell cryopreservation, facilitating the off-the-shelf availability of tissue-engineered constructs.

Abstract
Poultry is one of the most commonly farmed species and the most widespread meat industries. However, numerous poultry flocks have been long threatened by pathogenic bacterial infections, especially antimicrobial resistant pathogens. Here the prevalence and the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of bacterial pathogens isolated from poultry in Jiangxi Province, China were investigated. From 2020 to 2022, 283 tissue and liquid samples were collected from clinically diseased poultry, including duck, chicken, and goose, with an overall positive isolation rate of 62.90%. Among all the 219 bacterial isolates, 29 strains were gram-positive and 190 strains were gram-negative. Major bacteria species involved were avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC; 57.53%; 126/219), followed by Salmonella spp. (11.87%, 26/219), Pasteurella multocida (6.39%, 14/219), and Staphylococcus spp. (1.22%, 11/219). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed the APEC isolates displayed considerably higher levels of AMR than the Salmonella and P. multocida isolates. The APEC isolates showed high resistance rate to amoxicillin (89.68%), ampicillin (89.68%), and florfenicol (83.33%), followed by streptomycin (75.40%), cefradine (65.87%), and enrofloxacin (64.29%). Multidrug-resistant isolates were observed in APEC (99.21%), Salmonella spp. (96.16%), and P. multocida (85.71%), and nearly 3 quarters of the APEC strains were resistant to 7 or more categories of antimicrobial drugs. Moreover, blaNDM genes associated with carbapenemase resistance and mcr-1 associated with colisitin resistance were detected in the APEC isolates. Our findings could provide evidence-based guidance for veterinarians to prevent and control bacterial diseases, and be helpful for monitoring the emerging and development of AMR in poultry bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
Osteoporotic fracture is one of the most serious complications of osteoporosis. Most fracture sites have bone defects, and restoring the balance between local osteogenesis and bone destruction is difficult during the repair of osteoporotic bone defects. In this study, we successfully fabricated three-dimensional (3D)-printed biodegradable magnesium alloy (Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr) scaffolds and prepared a zoledronic acid-loaded ceramic composite coating on the surface of the scaffolds. The osteogenic effect of Mg and the osteoclast inhibition effect of zoledronic acid were combined to promote osteoporotic bone defect repair. In vitro degradation and drug release experiments showed that the coating significantly reduced the degradation rate of 3D-printed Mg alloy scaffolds and achieved a slow release of loaded drugs. The degradation products of drug-loaded coating scaffolds can promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as well as inhibit the formation of osteoclasts and the bone resorption by regulating the expression of related genes. Compared with the uncoated scaffolds, the drug-coated scaffolds degraded at a slower rate, and more new bone grew into these scaffolds. The healing rate and quality of the osteoporotic bone defects significantly improved in the drug-coated scaffold group. This study provides a new method for theoretical research and clinical treatment using functional materials for repairing osteoporotic bone defects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple revascularisation strategies with or without cardiac arrest have been developed to minimise the negative effects of cardiopulmonary bypass interventions during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Several observational and randomised studies have evaluated the efficacy of these interventions. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of four prevalent revascularisation strategies with/without cardiopulmonary bypass interventions in CABG surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomised controlled trials and observational cohort studies comparing outcomes of CABG surgery under conventional on-pump, off-pump, on-pump beating heart and minimal extracorporeal circulation technology. All English articles published before 30 November 2022 will be considered. The primary outcome will be 30-day mortality. The secondary outcomes will be various early and late adverse events after CABG surgery. The Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale will be used to assess the quality of included articles. A random-effects pairwise meta-analysis will be performed to report the head-to-head comparison. Then, the network meta-analysis will be performed using a Bayesian framework with random-effects models. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This research does not require the approval of an ethics committee as it relies on reviewing literature and does not involve dealing with humans or animals. The findings of this review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023381279.

Abstract
Gd54Fe36B10-xSix (x = 0, 2, 5, 8, 10) amorphous ribbons were fabricated by melt-spinning technique. Based on the molecular field theory, the magnetic exchange interaction was analyzed by constructing the two-sublattice model and deriving the exchange constants JGdGd, JGdFe and JFeFe. It was revealed that appropriate substitution content of Si for B can improve the thermal stability, maximum magnetic entropy change and widened table-like magnetocaloric effect of the alloys, while excessive Si will lead to the split of the crystallization exothermal peak, inflection-like magnetic transition and deterioration of magnetocaloric properties. These phenomena are probably correlated to the stronger atomic interaction of Fe-Si than that of Fe-B, which induced the compositional fluctuation or localized heterogeneity and then caused the different way of electron transfer and nonlinear variation in magnetic exchange constants, magnetic transition behavior and magnetocaloric performance. This work analyzes the effect of exchange interaction on magnetocaloric properties of Gd-TM amorphous alloys in detail.

Abstract
Background The retinal microvascular density changes have been identified in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients. Whereas a lack of research has been done on the diagnostic ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) combined with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters. Objectives This study aims to evaluate the retina perfusion variations in eyes with active and stable TAO and its diagnostic abilities using OCT and OCTA. Design This is cohort longitudinal retrospective study. Methods A total of 51 patients with TAO and 39 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. The TAO eyes were divided into active and stable stage groups. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ), macular perfusion density (mPD), and peripapillary PD were measured by OCTA. The peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), central retinal thickness (CRT), and whole macular volume (wMV) were measured by OCT. Visual evoked potential (VEP) and visual field (VF) were also assessed. Results The mPD of the superficial retinal capillary plexus (SRCP) was significantly different in all subfields among active, stable, and HC groups (p < 0.05) except for the temporal inner (p = 0.137), and the active group achieved the lowest PD. The FAZ size increased significantly in the active and stable groups compared with the HC group (p < 0.001). Significant difference was observed in mPD of deep retinal capillary plexus (DRCP) in all quadrants among three groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, PD parameters of optic nerve head (ONH) and radial peripapillary capillary plexus (RPCP) showed a different trend among three groups (p < 0.05). The r-value of visual field-mean deviation (VF-MD) of TAO with DRCP-whole PD (wPD) and RPCP-wPD was 0.421 and 0.299, respectively (p < 0.05). The DRCP-wPD in OCTA and RNFL in OCT were significantly higher in area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) than that of HC eyes. Conclusion OCT and OCTA can noninvasively detect the peripapillary and macular changes in various stages of TAO patients, and it might be a high diagnostic value tool to monitor the TAO progression.

Abstract
The mixed infection of duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) and goose astrovirus (GoAstV) is an important problem that endangers the goose industry. Although quantitative PCR has been widely used in monitoring these two viruses, there is no reliable method to detect them at the same time. In this study, by analyzing the published genomes of DTMUV and goose astrovirus genotype 2 (GoAstV-2) isolated in China, we found that both viruses have high conservation, showing 96.5 to 99.5% identities within different strains of DTMUV and GoAstV, respectively. Subsequently, PCR primers and TaqMan probes were designed to identify DTMUV and GoAstV-2, and different fluorescent reporters were given to two probes for differential diagnosis. Through the optimization and verification, this study finally developed a duplex TaqMan qPCR method that can simultaneously detect the above two viruses. The lower limits of detection were 100 copies/μL and 10 copies/μL for DTMUV and GoAstV-2 under optimal condition. The assay was also highly specific in detecting one or two viruses in various combinations in specimens, and provide tool for clinical diagnosis of mixed infections of viruses in goose.

Abstract
The desirable curative effect in clinical immunotherapy has been challenging due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) with high lactic acid (LA) metabolism in solid tumors. Although targeting metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells can restore the survival and function of immune cells in the TME, it is also plagued by insufficient immunogenicity. Herein, an activatable immunomodulatory nanoadjuvant CuSe/CoSe2@syrosingopine (CSC@Syro) is constructed for simultaneously relieving immunosuppressive TME and boosting tumor immune response. Specifically, CuSe/CoSe2 (CSC) exhibits TME-activated glutathione (GSH) depletion and hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation for potential ferroptosis. Meanwhile, the remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency and elevated photocatalytic ROS level both promote CSC heterostructures to induce robust immunogenic cell death (ICD). Besides, the loaded syrosingopine inhibitor achieves LA metabolism blockade in cancer cells by downregulating the expression of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), which could sensitize ferroptosis by intracellular milieu acidification and neutralize the acidic TME to alleviate immunosuppression. Hence, advanced metabolic modulation confers the potentiated immune infiltration of ICD-stimulated T lymphocytes and further reinforces antitumor therapy. In brief, CSC@Syro-mediated synergistic therapy could elicit potent immunogenicity and suppress tumor proliferation and metastasis effectually by integrating the tumor metabolic regulation and ferroptosis with immunotherapy.

Abstract
1. As RIPK2 (receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2) has been shown to to alleviate excessive inflammatory responses, the following study conducted a systematic and in-depth analysis of the mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq data from chicken macrophages with/without over-expression of RIPK2 (oeRIPK2) combined with/without avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) infection to identify the miRNA-mRNA interaction network and potential signalling pathways involved.2. A total of 9,201 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs and 300 DE miRNA were identified in both oeRIPK2+APEC vs. APEC and oeRIPK2 vs. the wild-type (WT). Moreover, 4,269 instances of co-expression between miRNAs and mRNAs were seen involving 1,652 DE mRNAs and 164 DE miRNAs.3. Functional analysis of the DE mRNAs in the miRNA-mRNA interaction network showed that 223 biological processes and five KEGG pathways were significantly enriched in the two comparisons. In total, 128 pairs of miRNA-mRNA interactions were involved in the identified MAPK signalling pathway and focal adhesion immune related pathways.4. Significantly, these screened miRNAs (gga-miR-222b-5p and gga-miR-214) and their target genes were highly correlated with APEC infection and RIPK2. These recognised key genes, miRNA and the overall miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, enables better understanding of the molecular mechanism of host response to APEC infection, especially related to RIPK2.

Abstract
Deciphering non-canonical WNT signaling has proven to be both fascinating and challenging. Discovered almost 30 years ago, non-canonical WNT ligands signal independently of the transcriptional co-activator β-catenin to regulate a wide range of morphogenetic processes during development. The molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie non-canonical WNT function, however, remain nebulous. Recent results from various model systems have converged to define a core non-canonical WNT pathway consisting of the prototypic non-canonical WNT ligand, WNT5A, the receptor tyrosine kinase ROR, the seven transmembrane receptor Frizzled and the cytoplasmic scaffold protein Dishevelled. Importantly, mutations in each of these signaling components cause Robinow syndrome, a congenital disorder characterized by profound tissue morphogenetic abnormalities. Moreover, dysregulation of the pathway has also been linked to cancer metastasis. As new knowledge concerning the WNT5A-ROR pathway continues to grow, modeling these mutations will likely provide crucial insights into both the physiological regulation of the pathway and the etiology of WNT5A-ROR-driven diseases.

Abstract
3D-printed biofunctional scaffolds have promising applications in bone tissue regeneration. However, the development of bioinks with rapid internal vascularization capabilities and relatively sustained osteoinductive bioactivity is the primary technical challenge. In this work, we added rat platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to a methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)/methacrylated alginate (AlgMA) system, which was further modified by a nanoclay, laponite (Lap). We found that Lap was effective in retarding the release of multiple growth factors from the PRP-GelMA/AlgMA (PRP-GA) hydrogel and sustained the release for up to 2 weeks. Our in vitro studies showed that the PRP-GA@Lap hydrogel significantly promoted the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, accelerated the formation of endothelial cell vascular patterns, and promoted macrophage M2 polarization. Furthermore, we printed hydrogel bioink with polycaprolactone (PCL) layer-by-layer to form active bone repair scaffolds and implanted them in subcutaneous and femoral condyle defects in rats. In vivo experiments showed that the PRP-GA@Lap/PCL scaffolds significantly promoted vascular inward growth and enhanced bone regeneration at the defect site. This work suggests that PRP-based 3D-bioprinted vascularized scaffolds will have great potential for clinical translation in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Although zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been applied in various tumor therapies, the intrinsic immunogenicity remains unclear. Here, we initiatively discover that ZIF-8 nanoparticles (NPs) can intrinsically induce pyroptosis by a caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent pathway. The pyroptotic cell death is accompanied by necrosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD) simultaneously for efficient in situ immunity initiation. Meanwhile, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP), a mitochondrial depolarizing agent, is successfully loaded into ZIF-8 NPs and found to further enhance the pyroptosis process. Collectively, the obtained Pluronic F127-modified CCCP-incorporated ZIF-8 NPs (F127 ZIF-8CCCP NPs) activate antitumor immunity and reprogram immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), realizing high-efficiency tumor growth inhibition. This work will facilitate biomedicine applications of ZIF-8 and provide good inspiration for pyroptosis-induced cancer therapy.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities are increasing the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2); around a third of the CO2 emitted by these activities has been taken up by the ocean. Nevertheless, this marine ecosystem service of regulation remains largely invisible to society, and not enough is known about regional differences and trends in sea-air CO2 fluxes (FCO2), especially in the Southern Hemisphere. The objectives of this work were as follows: first to put values of FCO2 integrated over the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of five Latin-American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela) into perspective regarding total country-level greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Second, to assess the variability of two main biological factors affecting FCO2 at marine ecological time series (METS) in these areas. FCO2 over the EEZs were estimated using the NEMO model, and GHG emissions were taken from reports to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. For each METS, the variability in phytoplankton biomass (indexed by chlorophyll-a concentration, Chla) and abundance of different cell sizes (phy-size) were analyzed at two time periods (2000-2015 and 2007-2015). Estimates of FCO2 at the analyzed EEZs showed high variability among each other and non-negligible values in the context of greenhouse gas emissions. The trends observed at the METS indicated, in some cases, an increase in Chla (e.g., EPEA-Argentina) and a decrease in others (e.g., IMARPE-Peru). Evidence of increasing populations of small size-phytoplankton was observed (e.g., EPEA-Argentina, Ensenada-Mexico), which would affect the carbon export to the deep ocean. These results highlight the relevance of ocean health and its ecosystem service of regulation when discussing carbon net emissions and budgets.

Introduction
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a known complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and other cardiomyopathies. LVT increases the risk of stroke and systemic embolism, hence treatment with oral anticoagulation is indicated. While the initial treatment options for LVT is clear, the management of patients after the initial duration of anticoagulation is more complex and varied.
Purpose
We aimed to undertake a comprehensive literature review to study the currently available evidence regarding not only the initial type and duration of anticoagulation for LVT, but also potential treatment options after the initial period of anticoagulation in the setting of both LVT persistence and resolution.
Methods
MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to August 2022. Data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational studies and case series discussing management of LVT were included in this summarized synthesis.
Results
Of 2050 studies screened, 30 studies (24 observational studies, 3 case series, 2 RCTs, 1 non-randomized, open-label trial) were included. A total of 17 studies compared warfarin with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for the initial anticoagulation strategy, with the vast majority showing similar outcomes (Table 1). Half (n = 9/18) of the studies repeated imaging between 3-6 months. All studies (n=30) used transthoracic echo with or without contrast as the imaging modality of choice, with selected patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). If the LVT persisted, most studies recommended continuing anticoagulation (n = 11/16, 69%) or switching to a different class of anticoagulants (n = 6/16, 38%). In the event of LVT non-resolution, high-risk features of embolization (protruding, mobile vs layered clot) may aid in the discussion of risk and benefit of long-term anticoagulation. Even upon resolution of the LVT, some studies (n=5) recommend continuing anticoagulation in the presence of high-risk features of recurrence (eg. persistently depressed left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) and/or apical wall dyskinesis). Regardless, medical management should be optimized together with the appropriate revascularization strategy as clinically indicated.
Conclusions
Current evidence on the management of LVT is limited. This updated review summarizes the available evidence for the management for LVT. Evidence-based recommendations on the management of these patients is warranted to appropriately guide clinicians.

Abstract
Mechanical signals from extracellular matrix stiffness are important cues that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, the incorporation of BMSCs into soft hydrogels and the dominance of soft matrices for BMSC growth and differentiation limit the directed differentiation of BMSCs incorporated into hydrogels for tissue engineering, especially osteogenesis. Here, we found that the expression of miR-99b increased with increasing hydrogel stiffness and that miR-99b regulated the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs seeded on the surface of substrates with different stiffnesses. Furthermore, miR-99b significantly promoted the migration of BMSCs in 3D hydrogels. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that matrix stiffness-sensitive miR-99b targets the mammalian target of the rapamycin signaling pathway to regulate the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In addition, by modulating the expression of miR-99b, the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in soft 3D hydrogels was promoted. Consistently, the flexible BMSC-GelMA hydrogel transfected with miR-99b significantly promoted bone regeneration in the rat calvarial defect area. These results suggest that miR-99b plays a key role in the mechanotransduction and phenotypic transformation of BMSCs and may inspire new tissue engineering applications with MSCs as key components.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of COVID-19 highlights the shortage of human medical resources, and improving medical students' professional identity is crucial to improving this situation. The sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19 and medical students' attention to COVID-19 were significant factors affecting their professional identity. However, no study has investigated the mediating role of medical students' attention to COVID-19 in their relationship. This study investigates the relationship between these three factors in three medical university students in Hunan Province. METHODS A cross-sectional survey study that used convenience sampling method was conducted on 2775 medical students from three universities in the Hunan Province of China from March 15 to April 19, 2020. An intermediary model was established to evaluate the role of medical students' attention to COVID-19 in the sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19 and the improvement of medical students' professional identity. RESULTS The sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19, medical students' attention to national crisis events, and the improvement of medical students' professional identity was positively associated with each other (β = 0.328 ~ 0.464, P < 0.001). The mediating effect accounted for 23.3% of the total effect and 30.4% of the direct effect. Medical students' attention to COVID-19 partially mediates the relationship between the sources of confidence to overcome COVID-19 and the improvement of medical students' professional identity. CONCLUSIONS This study found that the sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19 and medical students' attention to national crisis events have a significant predictive effect on the improvement of medical students' professional identity. Medical students' attention to COVID-19 mediated the relationship between the sources of confidence to overcome COVID-19 and the improvement of medical students' professional identity. The findings have emphasized the theoretical and practical significance of professional identity education for medical students.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Brunei Dialysis and Transplant Registry (BDTR) recorded data on patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) from 2011 to 2020, mainly for planning of services and benchmarking of standards. We report the trends of epidemiologic and performance parameters, compare performances between modalities of Kidney Replacement Therapy and evaluate the survival of ESKD patients over the 10-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three groups of data were analysed from the BDTR over the 10-year period. Epidemiological data, blood parameters and dialysis are key performance indicators. RESULTS There are increments in prevalence and incidence of treated ESKD patients in Brunei over 10 years, especially with haemodialysis (HD). The projected prevalence and incidence showed an anticipated annual increase of 42.2 per million population (pmp) and 9.9 pmp respectively. Diabetes mellitus (DM) (79%) was the main cause of ESKD. HD (86%), peritoneal dialysis (PD) (9%) and transplant (5%) were the main modalities of kidney replacement therapy in 2020. Cumulative results over the decade showed significant improvements in serum phosphate, peritonitis rates and HD blood flow rates. PD patients have better survival rates, lower systolic blood pressure and better adequacy. PD survival (patient survival of 91%, 73% and 56% at 1, 3 and 5 years respectively) was superior to HD survival (86% and 64% at 1 and 2 years, respectively), but patient demographics (age and DM status) were different. The 2020 dataset showed satisfactory anaemia management but mineral bone disease management was sub-optimal. Seventy percent of prevalent HD patients had arteriovenous fistula access. Thirty-two percent and fifty-two percent of HD and PD patients, respectively, achieved target dialysis adequacy. Peritonitis rate was 0.3 episodes per patient year. CONCLUSION Brunei has a high incidence and prevalence of treated ESKD in the last decade, especially DM-related ESKD. This study has identified many specific areas to be targeted for improvements and provided evidence for further proliferation of PD and transplant preference policy.

Abstract
Purpose To study the independent risk factors for development of different degrees of diabetic retinopathy (DR) as well as non-DR (NDR) among type 2 diabetic patients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 218 patients with type 2 diabetes between January 2022 and June 2022. All the patients were divided into two groups: the DR group and the NDR group. The DR group was subdivided into the mild, moderate and severe non-proliferative DR (NPDR) group and the proliferative DR (PDR) group. Data recorded for all patients included age, gender, duration of diabetes, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and renal function. Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the risk factors for DR. Results The prevalence of DR in type 2 diabetes was 28.44%. The duration of diabetes, age, mean arterial pressure (MAP), HbA1c, FBG, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), BCVA, AL, and ACD were significantly different between the DR and the NDR groups (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, FBG, UACR, and AL as the independent risk factors for DR (OR = 0.843, 2.376, 1.049, 0.005; p = 0.034, 0.014, 0.016, p < 0.001). Conclusion Young age, short AL, higher levels of FBG and UACR were the independent risk factors for the progression of DR in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The KNee OsteoArthritis Prediction (KNOAP2020) challenge was organized to objectively compare methods for the prediction of incident symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis within 78 months on a test set with blinded ground truth. DESIGN The challenge participants were free to use any available data sources to train their models. A test set of 423 knees from the Prevention of Knee Osteoarthritis in Overweight Females (PROOF) study consisting of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray image data along with clinical risk factors at baseline was made available to all challenge participants. The ground truth outcomes, i.e., which knees developed incident symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis (according to the combined ACR criteria) within 78 months, were not provided to the participants. To assess the performance of the submitted models, we used the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROCAUC) and balanced accuracy (BACC). RESULTS Seven teams submitted 23 entries in total. A majority of the algorithms were trained on data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. The model with the highest ROCAUC (0.64 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.57-0.70)) used deep learning to extract information from X-ray images combined with clinical variables. The model with the highest BACC (0.59 (95% CI: 0.52-0.65)) ensembled three different models that used automatically extracted X-ray and MRI features along with clinical variables. CONCLUSION The KNOAP2020 challenge established a benchmark for predicting incident symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis. Accurate prediction of incident symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis is a complex and still unsolved problem requiring additional investigation.

Abstract
The repair and reconstruction of bone defects are still major problems to be solved in the field of orthopedics. Meanwhile, 3D-bioprinted active bone implants may provide a new and effective solution. In this case, we used bioink prepared from the patient’s autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with polycaprolactone/β-tricalcium phosphate (PCL/β-TCP) composite scaffold material to print personalized PCL/β-TCP/PRP active scaffolds layer by layer through 3D bioprinting technology. The scaffold was then applied in the patient to repair and reconstruct bone defect after tibial tumor resection. Compared with traditional bone implant materials, 3D-bioprinted personalized active bone will have significant clinical application prospects due to its advantages of biological activity, osteoinductivity, and personalized design.

Abstract
Objective To explore multi-aspect radiologic assessment of immunotherapy response in intracranial malignancies based on a semi-automatic segmentation technique, and to explore volumetric thresholds with good performance according to RECIST 1.1 thresholds. Methods Patients diagnosed with intracranial malignancies and treated with immunotherapy were included retrospectively. In all MR images, target lesions were measured using a semi-automatic segmentation technique that could intelligently generate visual diagrams including RECIST 1.1, total volume, and max. 3D diameter. The changes in parameters were calculated for each patient after immunotherapy. The ROC curve was used to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the size change of the legion. This was useful to find new volumetric thresholds with better efficiency in response assessment. The changes in total volume were assessed by conventional volumetric thresholds, while RECIST 1.1 thresholds were for the max. 3D diameter. A chi-square test was used to compare the concordance and diagnostic correlation between the response assessment results of the three criteria. Results A total of 20 cases (average age, 58 years; range, 23 to 84 years) and 58 follow-up MR examinations after immunotherapy were included in the analysis. The P-value of the chi-square test between RECIST 1.1 and total volume is 0 (P <0.05), same as that in RECIST 1.1 and max. 3D diameter. The kappa value of the former two was 0.775, and the kappa value for the latter two was 0.742. The above results indicate a significant correlation and good concordance for all three criteria. In addition, we also found that the volumetric assessment had the best sensitivity and specificity for the immunotherapy response in intracranial malignancies, with a PR threshold of -64.9% and a PD threshold of 21.4%. Conclusions Radiologic assessment of immunotherapy response in intracranial malignancy can be performed by multiple criteria based on semi-automatic segmentation technique on MR images, such as total volume, max. 3D diameter and RECIST 1.1. In addition, new volumetric thresholds with good sensitivity and specificity were found by volumetric assessment.

Abstract
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is an important zoonotic pathogen that causes severe infections in humans and the swine industry. Acquisition and utilization of available carbon sources from challenging host environments is necessary for bacterial pathogens to ensure growth and proliferation. Glycogen is abundant in mammalian body and may support the growth of SS2 during infection in hosts. However, limited information is known about the mechanism between the glycogen utilization and host adaptation of SS2. Here, the pleiotropic effects of exogenous glycogen on SS2 were investigated through transcriptome sequencing. Analysis of transcriptome data showed that the main basic metabolic pathways, especially the core carbon metabolism pathways and virulence-associated factors, of SS2 responded actively to glycogen induction. Glycogen induction led to the perturbation of the glycolysis pathway and citrate cycle, but promoted the pentose phosphate pathway and carbohydrate transport systems. Extracellular glycogen utilization also promoted the mixed-acid fermentation in SS2 rather than homolactic fermentation. Subsequently, apuA, a gene encoding the unique bifunctional amylopullulanase for glycogen degradation, was deleted from the wild type and generated the mutant strain ΔapuA. The pathogenicity details of the wild type and ΔapuA cultured in glucose and glycogen were investigated and compared. Results revealed that the capsule synthesis or bacterial morphology were not affected by glycogen incubation or apuA deletion. However, extracellular glycogen utilization significantly enhanced the hemolytic activity, adhesion and invasion ability, and lethality of SS2. The deletion of apuA also impaired the pathogenicity of bacteria cultured in glucose, indicating that ApuA is indeed an important virulence factor. Our results revealed that exogenous glycogen utilization extensively influenced the expression profile of the S. suis genome. Based on the transcriptome response, exogenous glycogen utilization promoted the carbon adaption and pathogenicity of SS2.

Abstract
Osteoporosis results in decreased bone mass and insufficient osteogenic function. Existing titanium alloy implants have insufficient osteoinductivity and delayed/incomplete fracture union can occur when used to treat osteoporotic fractures. Copper ions have good osteogenic activity, but their dose-dependent cytotoxicity limits their clinical use for bone implants. In this study, titanium alloy implants functionalized with a TiCu/TiCuN coating by arc ion plating achieved a controlled release of copper ions in vitro for 28 days. The coated alloy was co-cultured with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and showed excellent biocompatibility and osteoinductivity in vitro. A further exploration of the underlying mechanism by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting revealed that the enhancement effects are related to the upregulation of genes and proteins (such as axin2, β-catenin, GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β, LEF1 and TCF1/TCF7) involved in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In vivo experiments showed that the TiCu/TiCuN coating significantly promoted osteoporotic fracture healing in a rat femur fracture model, and has good in vivo biocompatibility based on various staining results. Our study confirmed that TiCu/TiCuN-coated Ti promotes osteoporotic fracture healing associated with the Wnt pathway. Because the coating effectively accelerates the healing of osteoporotic fractures and improves bone quality, it has significant clinical application prospects.
