Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional status in pediatric patients undergoing heart transplantation (HT) is frequently a focus of clinical management and requires high resource utilization. Pre-operative nutrition status has been shown to affect post-operative mortality but no studies have been performed to assess how nutritional status may change and the risk of developing nutritional comorbidities long-term in the post-transplant period. METHODS A single-center retrospective chart review of patients ≥2 years of age who underwent heart transplantation between 1/1/2005 and 4/30/2020 was performed. Patient data were collected at listing, time of transplant, 1-year, and 3-year follow-up post-transplant. Nutrition status was classified based on body mass index (BMI) percentile in the primary analysis. Alternative nutritional indices, namely the nutrition risk index (NRI), prognostic nutrition index (PNI), and BMI z-score, were utilized in secondary analyses. RESULTS Of the 63 patients included, the proportion of patients with overweight/obese status increased from 21% at listing to 41% at 3-year follow-up. No underweight patients at listing became overweight/obese at follow-up. Of patients who were overweight/obese at listing, 88% maintained that status at 3-year follow-up. Overweight/obese status at listing, 1-year, and 3-year post-transplantation were significantly associated with developing metabolic syndrome. In comparison to the alternative nutritional indices, BMI percentile best predicted post-transplant metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that pediatric patients who undergo heart transplantation are at risk of developing overweight/obesity and related nutritional sequelae (ie, metabolic syndrome). Improved surveillance and interventions targeted toward overweight/obese HT patients should be investigated to reduce the burden of associated comorbidities.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a nonapoptotic form of regulated cell death that has been reported to play a central role in cardiac ischemia‒reperfusion (I/R) injury. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) contributes to cardiomyocyte apoptosis by functioning as an RNA ac4c acetyltransferase, but its role in cardiomyocyte ferroptosis during I/R injury has not been determined. This study aimed to elucidate the role of NAT10 in cardiac ferroptosis as well as the underlying mechanism. The mRNA and protein levels of NAT10 were increased in mouse hearts after I/R and in cardiomyocytes that were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation. P53 acted as an endogenous activator of NAT10 during I/R in a transcription-dependent manner. Cardiac overexpression of NAT10 caused cardiomyocyte ferroptosis to exacerbate I/R injury, while cardiomyocyte-specific knockout of NAT10 or pharmacological inhibition of NAT10 with Remodelin had the opposite effects. The inhibition of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by Fer-1 exerted superior cardioprotective effects against the NAT10-induced exacerbation of post-I/R cardiac damage than the inhibition of apoptosis by emricasan. Mechanistically, NAT10 induced the ac4C modification of Mybbp1a, increasing its stability, which in turn activated p53 and subsequently repressed the transcription of the anti-ferroptotic gene SLC7A11. Moreover, knockdown of Mybbp1a partially abolished the detrimental effects of NAT10 overexpression on cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and cardiac I/R injury. Collectively, our study revealed that p53 and NAT10 interdependently cooperate to form a positive feedback loop that promotes cardiomyocyte ferroptosis to exacerbate cardiac I/R injury, suggesting that targeting the NAT10/Mybbp1a/p53 axis may be a novel approach for treating cardiac I/R.

Abstract
Farfarae Flos is a traditional herb widely employed for treating coughs, bronchitis, and asthmatic disorders. In the current study, we utilized SWATH and IDA data acquisition modes in combination with multiple data processing techniques to identify Farfarae Flos metabolites in mice serum. A total of 56 compounds were characterized, including 31 phenolic acids, 13 flavonoids, 11 sesquiterpenoids and 1 alkaloid. Further quantitative analysis was conducted on 12 absorbed metabolites, utilizing a newly developed and rigorously validated analytical method. Our approach demonstrated an acceptable level of specificity, accuracy, precision, and stability. When applied to compare the serum of mice treated with FF, all 12 metabolites showed the highest concentration at 0.5 h. Overall, this study presented a novel strategy for unraveling the active compounds of FF via serum pharmacochemistry analysis, which made a foundation for exploring the pharmacodynamic material basis of FF.

Abstract
AIM To describe the myocardial torsion mechanics in cardiac amyloidosis (CA), and evaluate the correlations between left ventricle (LV) torsion mechanics and conventional parameters using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging feature tracking (CMR-FT). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty-nine patients with light-chain CA (AL-CA) were divided into three groups: group 1 with preserved systolic function (LV ejection fraction [LVEF] ≥50%, n=55), group 2 with mildly reduced systolic function (40% ≤ LVEF <50%, n=51), and group 3 with reduced systolic function (LVEF <40%, n=33), and compared with age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n=26). All patients underwent cine imaging and late gadolinium-enhancement (LGE). Cine images were analysed offline using CMR-FT to estimate torsion parameters. RESULTS Global torsion, base-mid torsion, and peak diastolic torsion rate (diasTR) were significantly impaired in patients with preserved systolic function (p<0.05 for all), whereas mid-apex torsion and peak systolic torsion rate (sysTR) were preserved (p>0.05 for both) compared with healthy controls. In patients with mildly reduced systolic function, global torsion and base-mid torsion were lower compared to those with preserved systolic function (p<0.05 for both), while mid-apex torsion, sysTR, and diasTR were preserved (p>0.05 for all). In patients with reduced systolic function, only sysTR was significantly worse compared with mildly reduced systolic function (p<0.05). At multivariable analysis, right ventricle (RV) end-systolic volume RVESV index and NYHA class were independently related to global torsion, whereas LVEF was independently related to sysTR. RV ejection fraction (RVEF) was independently related to diasTR. LV global torsion performed well (AUC 0.71; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.61, 0.77) in discriminating transmural from non-transmural LGE in AL-CA patients. CONCLUSION LV torsion mechanics derived by CMR-FT could help to monitor LV systolic and diastolic function in AL-CA patients and function as a new imaging marker for LV dysfunction and LGE transmurality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emotional dysfunction is a core feature of many mental disorders. Working memory training (WM-T) is promising to improve emotion regulation and reduce internalizing symptoms (anxiety and depressive symptoms), but the results are mixed. Therefore, we conducted meta-analyses to clarify these mixed results. METHODS We searched Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and EBSCO to identify relevant studies and screened the references. The effect size was calculated using Hedges' g. Three-level, random-effects models were run using metafor in R. RESULTS The current study included 44 articles, of which 29 were involved with emotion regulation, and 30 were involved with internalizing symptoms. The results showed that WM-T could yield emotional benefits, but the benefits were confined to enhancing explicit emotional regulation capacity and reducing anxiety symptoms. For the meta-analysis regarding the effect of WM-T on emotion regulation, there was no significant moderator. For the meta-analysis regarding the effect of WM-T on internalizing symptoms, the emotional valence of the material and control group were statistically significant moderators. CONCLUSION WM-T could yield certain emotional effects, but only to improve explicit emotion regulation capacity and reduce anxiety symptoms. In addition, some measures could enhance the effect, such as targeting specific populations, increasing the number of training sessions (≥15) or duration (>450 minutes), using negative material, and using n-back training tasks.

Abstract
The phenomenon of familial clustering in depression is well established, yet the mechanisms by which depression is transmitted within families remain poorly understood. In the current study, we investigate the familial genetic and environmental transmission of depression by incorporating data from both adolescent twins and their parents. A total of 987 twin families were recruited from the Beijing Twin Study. Depression assessments were conducted for both adolescents and their parents. Twins' depression was assessed through reports from both the twins themselves and their parents, while parental depression was assessed by parental self-report. We employed a nuclear twin family model to examine genetic and environmental influences on adolescent depression. Our results, based on both self- and parent-report, demonstrate significant additive and dominant genetic influences on depression. We also found mild yet significant sibling environmental influences, while familial environmental influences were absent. Notably, parent-reported depression showed higher heritability but lower unique environmental influences compared with self-reported depression. These results highlight the important role of genetic transmission and sibling environmental transmission in explaining depression. Our study delineates the underlying mechanism of familial transmission in depression and can inform early treatments to halt transmission during adolescence.

Abstract
We report on a measurement of astrophysical tau neutrinos with 9.7 yr of IceCube data. Using convolutional neural networks trained on images derived from simulated events, seven candidate ν_{τ} events were found with visible energies ranging from roughly 20 TeV to 1 PeV and a median expected parent ν_{τ} energy of about 200 TeV. Considering backgrounds from astrophysical and atmospheric neutrinos, and muons from π^{±}/K^{±} decays in atmospheric air showers, we obtain a total estimated background of about 0.5 events, dominated by non-ν_{τ} astrophysical neutrinos. Thus, we rule out the absence of astrophysical ν_{τ} at the 5σ level. The measured astrophysical ν_{τ} flux is consistent with expectations based on previously published IceCube astrophysical neutrino flux measurements and neutrino oscillations.

Abstract
AIM Rev-erbα has been reported to regulate the healing of inflammatory lesions through its effect on the immune system in a variety of inflammatory disease. Moreover, the balance of macrophages polarization plays a crucial role in immune response and inflammatory progression. However, in refractory periapical periodontitis (RAP), the role of Rev-erbα in inflammatory response and bone resorption by regulating macrophage polarization remains unclarified. The aims of the present study were to investigate the expression of Rev-erbα in experimental RAP and to explore the relationship between Rev-erbα and macrophage polarization through the application of its pharmacological agonist SR9009 into the in vivo and in vitro experiments. METHODOLOGY Enterococcus faecalis-induced RAP models were established in SD rats. Histological staining and micro-computed tomography scanning were used to evaluate osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone resorption. The expression of Rev-erbα and macrophage polarization were detected in the periapical tissues from rats by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and western blots. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed to explore the relationship between Rev-erbα and inflammatory cytokines related to macrophage polarization. RESULT Compared to healthy periapical tissue, the expression of Rev-erbα was significantly down-regulated in macrophages from inflammatory periapical area, especially in Enterococcus faecalis-induced periapical lesions, with obvious type-1 macrophage (M1)-like dominance and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, Rev-erbα activation by SR9009 could induce type-2 macrophage (M2)-like polarization in periapical tissue and THP1 cell line, followed by increased secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β. Furthermore, intracanal application of SR9009 reduced the lesion size and promoted the repair of RAP by decreasing the number of osteoclasts and enhancing the formation of mineralized tissue in periapical inflammatory lesions. CONCLUSIONS Rev-erbα played an essential role in the pathogenesis of RAP through its effect on macrophage polarization. Targeting Rev-erbα might be a promising and prospective therapy method for the prevention and management of RAP.

Abstract
Phages provide a potential therapy for multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. However, a significant portion of viral genes often remains unknown, posing potential dangers. The identification of non-essential genes helps dissect and simplify phage genomes, but current methods have various limitations. In this study, we present an in vivo two-plasmid transposon insertion system to assess the importance of phage genes, which is based on the V. cholerae transposon Tn6677, encoding a nuclease-deficient type I-F CRISPR-Cas system. We first validated the system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and its phage S1. We then used the selection marker AcrVA1 to protect transposon-inserted phages from CRISPR-Cas12a and enriched the transposon-inserted phages. For a pool of selected 10 open-reading frames (2 known functional protein genes and 8 hypothetical protein genes) of phage S1, we identified 5 (2 known functional protein genes and 3 hypothetical protein genes) as indispensable genes and the remaining 5 (all hypothetical protein genes) as dispensable genes. This approach offers a convenient, site-specific method that does not depend on homologous arms and double-strand breaks (DSBs), holding promise for future applications across a broader range of phages and facilitating the identification of the importance of phage genes and the insertion of genetic cargos.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isoniazid (INH) is an important drug in many TB regimens, and unfavorable treatment outcomes can be caused by suboptimal pharmacokinetics. Dose adjustment can be personalized by measuring peak serum concentrations; however, the process involves cold-chain preservation and laboratory techniques such as liquid chromatography (LC)/mass spectrometry (MS), which are unavailable in many high-burden settings. Urine spectrophotometry could provide a low-cost alternative with simple sampling and quantification methods. METHODS We enrolled 56 adult patients on treatment for active TB. Serum was collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h for measurement of INH concentrations using validated LC-MS/MS methods. Urine was collected at 0-4, 4-8, and 8-24 h intervals, with INH concentrations measured using colorimetric methods. RESULTS The median peak serum concentration and total serum exposure over 24 h were 4.8 mg/L and 16.4 mg*hour/L, respectively. Area under the receiver operator characteristic curves for urine values predicting a subtherapeutic serum concentration (peak <3.0 mg/L) were as follows: 0-4 h interval (AUC 0.85, 95% CI 0.7-0.96), 0-8 h interval (AUC 0.85, 95% CI 0.71-0.96), and 0-24 h urine collection interval (AUC 0.84, 95% CI 0.68-0.96). CONCLUSION Urine spectrophotometry may improve feasibility of personalized dosing in high TB burden regions but requires further study of target attainment following dose adjustment based on a urine threshold.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the regulative effects of Streptococcus mutans (Sm) antisense vicK RNA (ASvicK) on the multi-species biofilm formed by three common oral streptococci (Sm, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Streptococcus gordonii) (Sm+Ss+Sg). Methods: ASvicK over-expression strain was constructed by using a recombinant plasmid, and three-species biofilm UA159+Ss+Sg and ASvicK+Ss+Sg were cultured. The phenotypes of biofilms were detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Crystal violet (CV) assay was used to detect biofilm biomass. Lactate kit and anthrone-sulfuric acid colorimetric assay were used to determine the abilities of lactic acid and exopolysaccharides production, respectively. The proportions of three-species and expression levels of the cariogenic-related genes in biofilms were detected by TaqMan fluorescence quantitative PCR and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. A biofilm demineralization model of human enamel slabs was further constructed, and the hardness of enamel surface was detected. Results: Compared to UA159+Ss+Sg, over-expression of ASvicK could inhibit biofilm formation and lactic acid production in ASvicK+Ss+Sg biofilm significantly decreased by 78.93% (P<0.001) and 62.23% (P<0.001), respectively. With ASvicK over-expression, the amounts of water-insoluble and-soluble glucoses in ASvicK+Ss+Sg biofilm were reduced respectively by 39.13% (P<0.001) and 68.00% (P<0.001). Compared to the UA159+Ss+Sg Group, the proportion of Sm, the cariogenic bacteria, showed 33.00% reduction (P<0.01) in Sm+Ss+Sg biofilm, and the gene expressions of cariogenic-relative genes vicK/X, gtfB/C/D, and ftf significantly decreased (P<0.05). The micro-hardness value of enamel slabs after demineralization by ASvicK+Ss+Sg biofilm was significantly increased to 183.84% (P<0.001). Conclusions: ASvicK over-expression could reduce the Sm proportion and weaken the cariogenicity of oral Streptococcus biofilm, thereby possibly slowing down the progression of caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Explore serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), signal transduction molecule 3 (SMAD3), and histone deacetylase (HDAC) and their correlation with the severity of the condition of stroke patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical records of 93 stroke patients and 93 healthy individuals were retrospectively analyzed. Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with different disease degrees and lesion areas were compared between the two groups. Correlation between serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 and the severity and lesion area of the observation group were analyzed. RESULTS Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with moderate and severe disease were significantly higher than those in patients with mild disease and were the highest in patients with severe disease (p<0.05). Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with moderate and large areas of cerebral infarction were significantly higher than those in patients with small areas of cerebral infarction and the highest in patients with large areas of cerebral infarction (p<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 significantly positively correlated with the severity of stroke and lesion area (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in stroke patients are highly expressed, and the increase positively correlates with the severity of the disease and the area of the lesion.

Abstract
Ischemic heart failure (HF) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Maintaining homeostasis of cardiac function and preventing cardiac remodeling deterioration are critical to halting HF progression. Methyltransferase-like protein 13 (Mettl13) has been shown to regulate protein translation efficiency by acting as a protein lysine methyltransferase, but its role in cardiac pathology remains unexplored. This study aims to characterize the roles and mechanisms of Mettl13 in cardiac contractile function and HF. We found that Mettl13 was downregulated in the failing hearts of mice post-myocardial infarction (MI) and in a cellular model of oxidative stress. Cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of Mettl13 mediated by AAV9-Mettl13 attenuated cardiac contractile dysfunction and fibrosis in response to MI, while silencing of Mettl13 impaired cardiac function in normal mice. Moreover, Mettl13 overexpression abrogated the reduction in cell shortening, Ca2+ transient amplitude and SERCA2a protein levels in the cardiomyocytes of adult mice with MI. Conversely, knockdown of Mettl13 impaired the contractility of cardiomyocytes, and decreased Ca2+ transient amplitude and SERCA2a protein expression in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, Mettl13 impaired the stability of c-Cbl by inducing lysine methylation of c-Cbl, which in turn inhibited ubiquitination-dependent degradation of SERCA2a. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of knocking down Mettl13 on SERCA2a protein expression and Ca2+ transients were partially rescued by silencing c-Cbl in H2O2-treated cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, our study uncovers a novel mechanism that involves the Mettl13/c-Cbl/SERCA2a axis in regulating cardiac contractile function and remodeling, and identifies Mettl13 as a novel therapeutic target for ischemic HF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore occupational stress, perceived respect, and the need for psychological counselling among nurses in China. STUDY DESIGN This was a nationwide cross-sectional study. METHODS Chinese nurses from 311 cities were randomly selected through a simple random sampling method. Occupational stress, perceived respect, and psychological counselling need were assessed using an online questionnaire validated by experts. The underlying associated factors were analysed using multiple logistic regression analyses. RESULTS We collected and analysed 51,406 valid online questionnaires. Family factors and low income were the most commonly cited sources of occupational stress, and 91.9% and 80.0% of nurses, respectively, perceived that individuals in society and patients did not give adequate respect. Furthermore, 75.5% and 79.7%, respectively, believed they were not respected by clinical managers and doctors. As a result, 64.7% nurses believed they had a moderate or high need for psychological counselling. However, 80.7% indicated that receiving adequate respect could decrease the need for stress-related psychological counselling. Indeed, multiple logistic regression analyses showed that lower respect perceived by nurses was associated with higher need for psychological counselling, particularly regarding criticism that nurses perceived from nursing managers (a little: odds ratio [OR], 1.597; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.176-2.170; P = 0.003; moderately: OR, 1.433; 95% CI, 1.180-1.741; P < 0.001) and the difficulty of receiving respect from patients and their families (a little: OR, 1.389; 95% CI, 1.044-1.850; P = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS Nurses in China perceive high levels of occupational stress and low levels of respect and often seek psychological counselling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an essential cause of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma that is increasing in incidence worldwide. However, little is known about the epidemiology of oral HPV infection among healthy adults in China. METHODS A study in northern China was conducted in 2021 as baseline data of Diverse Life-Course Cohort (DLCC). Residents who aged above 20 were eligible to participate. Oral swab specimens and questionnaires were collected from 4226 participants. HPV DNA in oral exfoliated cells was tested by Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction approach and sequencing. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the associations between exposure factors and oral HPV infection. RESULTS Overall prevalence of oral HPV infection was 4.08% (95%CI, 3.69%-4.68%). The most prevalent HPV type detected was HPV-81 (1.35%; 95% CI, 1.00%-1.70%), followed by HPV-16 (0.64%; 95% CI, 0.40%-0.88%). Oral HPV infection presented a bimodal pattern with respect to age in male and female participants. Oral HPV prevalence of male participants was significantly higher than prevalence of female participants (5.0% versus 3.6%, P = 0.041). Prevalence of oral HPV was higher among current smokers (OR = 1.59; 95% CI, 1.11-2.29; P = 0.039) and current drinkers (OR = 1.60; 95% CI, 1.14-2.25; P = 0.023). Current alcohol consumption was independently associated with oral HPV infection (OR = 1.74; 95% CI, 1.22-2.50; P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Among healthy adults aged above 20 in Hebei, China, the prevalence of high-risk HPV infection was 1.92% (95%CI, 1.51%-2.34%). Oral HPV prevalence was independently associated with alcohol consumption. More tailored prevention strategies are needed to prevent oral HPV infection through smoking cessation, reduction of alcohol consumption, and HPV vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a predominant cause of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. However, there is limited knowledge about the epidemiology of oral HPV infections among adults in China. METHODS We collected data from a prospective cohort that enrolled participants in Mainland China. A total of 9,867 participants ages at least 20 years provided oral swab specimens in typical areas of China (Hebei and Guangdong provinces) in 2021. HPV DNA in oral exfoliated cells was tested using nested PCR and sequencing. Prevalence among subpopulations was compared. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to assess possible factors influencing oral HPV infection. RESULTS The overall prevalence of oral HPV infection was 3.0% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.68-3.36]. Among those infected, 1.3% (1.08-1.53) were infected with high-risk HPV types. Men had a higher age-standardized HPV infection prevalence (3.6%, 2.96-4.29) compared with their female counterparts (2.7%, 2.35-3.12). People in Hebei had a higher age- and sex-standardized prevalence (4.1%, 3.50-4.70) than those in Guangdong (2.2%, 1.80-2.56). Generally, men (OR and 95% CI: 1.42, 1.09-1.85) and people in Hebei (2.01, 1.53-2.65) had higher odds of any type of HPV infection. In addition, people living in urban areas had a 2.15-fold (1.43-3.26) higher odds of high-risk HPV infection. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals a low prevalence of oral HPV infection with significant geographic and sex differences among Chinese population. IMPACT This is the first study to report the epidemiologic characteristics of oral HPV infection among Chinese adults in diverse geographic areas with large sample size.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the content of α-synuclein oligomer(O-α-Syn) in erythrocytes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) and the correlation with clinical symptoms. Methods: Two hundred and ninety-six PD patients and 85 MSA patients were recruited from the Department of Functional Neurosurgery and Neurology of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from July 2020 to October 2021. Four hundred and three healthy controls (HC) were recruited from the Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging community cohort during the same period. The levels of RBC-O-α-Syn were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Univariate linear regression model was used to analyze the correlation between the content of RBD-O-α-Syn and various motor and non-motor functional scores, such as Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Ⅲ, Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) Ⅲ, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), rapid eye movement sleep disorder questionnaire-HongKong(RBDQ-HK) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to evaluate the specificity, sensitivity, and the area under the curve (AUC) of RBC-O-α-Syn in distinguishing PD and MSA patients from HC subjects. Results: The average age of HC subjects was (70±8) years old, the average age of PD patients was (64±9) years old, including 115 (38.9%) cases with tremor dominant PD (TD-PD), 132 cases (44.6%) of postural instability disorder predominant PD (PIGD-PD), and 142 cases (48.0%) of patients with H-Y stage 2. UPDRS Ⅲ score was 31.2±17.8. The mean age of MSA patients was (64±9) years, with the mean UMSARS Ⅱ score of 18.9±10.3. The non-motor symptoms of PD and MSA patients were significantly different from those of HC subjects (P<0.001). The levels of RBC-O-α-Syn in PD [(50±17) ng/mg] and MSA [(52±19) ng/mg] were significantly higher than those in HC subjects [(21±10) ng/mg] (P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of RBC-O-α-Syn in distinguishing PD patients and HC subjects were 87.16% (95%CI: 82.87%-90.50%) and 86.10% (95%CI: 82.38%-89.14%), with an AUC of 0.933 (95%CI: 0.914-0.951), and the sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing MSA patients and HC subjects were 85.88% (95%CI: 76.93%-91.74%) and 81.39% (95%CI: 77.30%-84.89%), with an AUC of 0.921 (95%CI: 0.884-0.957). The levels of RBC-O-α-Syn in PD patients with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) were higher than that in PD patients without RBD [(53±16) ng/mg vs (48±17) ng/mg, P=0.029].The content of RBC-O-α-Syn in female PD patients and HC subjects was higher than that in male, but there was no significant difference between subjects of different ages and disease duration (P>0.05). In addition, RBC-O-α-Syn content was positively correlated with UPDRS Ⅲ (r=0.18, P=0.002) and the score of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder questionnaire(Hong Kong) (RBDQ-HK)(r=0.19, P<0.001). But there was no correlation with H-Y stage, non-motor symptoms scale (NMSS), MMSE, Moca, Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores (all P>0.05). There was no correlation between RBC-O-α-Syn content and UMSARS Ⅱ, NMSS, MMSE, MoCA, HAMD, HAMA in patients with MSA (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Levels of RBC-O-α-Syn are significantly increased in PD and MSA patients. There are positive correlations between levels of RBC-O-α-Syn and scores of UPDRS Ⅲ and RBDQ-HK.

Abstract
With the recent ongoing autumn/winter 2022 COVID-19 wave and the adjustment of public health control measures, there have been widespread SARS-CoV-2 infections in Chinese mainland. Here we have analyzed 369 viral genomes from recently diagnosed COVID-19 patients in Shanghai, identifying a large number of sublineages of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron family. Phylogenetic analysis, coupled with contact history tracing, revealed simultaneous community transmission of two Omicron sublineages dominating the infections in some areas of China (BA.5.2 mainly in Guangzhou and Shanghai, and BF.7 mainly in Beijing) and two highly infectious sublineages recently imported from abroad (XBB and BQ.1). Publicly available data from August 31 to November 29, 2022 indicated an overall severe/critical case rate of 0.035% nationwide, while analysis of 5706 symptomatic patients treated at the Shanghai Public Health Center between September 1 and December 26, 2022 showed that 20 cases (0.35%) without comorbidities progressed into severe/critical conditions and 153 cases (2.68%) with COVID-19-exacerbated comorbidities progressed into severe/critical conditions. These observations shall alert healthcare providers to place more resources for the treatment of severe/critical cases. Furthermore, mathematical modeling predicts this autumn/winter wave might pass through major cities in China by the end of the year, whereas some middle and western provinces and rural areas would be hit by the upcoming infection wave in mid-to-late January 2023, and the duration and magnitude of upcoming outbreak could be dramatically enhanced by the extensive travels during the Spring Festival (January 21, 2023). Altogether, these preliminary data highlight the needs to allocate resources to early diagnosis and effective treatment of severe cases and the protection of vulnerable population, especially in the rural areas, to ensure the country's smooth exit from the ongoing pandemic and accelerate socio-economic recovery.

Abstract
Objectives: Infratemporal fossa approaches (IFAs) allow the total resection of certain lateral skull base neoplasms. To date, no studies have explored the change of patient-reported quality of life (QoL) after total resection of benign lateral skull base neoplasms through IFA. The present study aimed to give a comprehensive understanding of QoL among patients after IFA through general and disease-specific QoL questionnaires. Methods: Forty-seven patients with benign lateral skull base neoplasms were enrolled. The Short Form 36 (SF-36), World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), and the University of Washington Head and Neck Quality of Life (UW-QOL) were chosen as tools to assess QoL before and after surgeries through IFA. Results: Patients had significantly lower scores in appearance, chewing, and speech after surgeries through IFA. However, change in health from SF-36 and physical health from WHOQOL-BREF scored higher after surgery. In multivariate linear regression analysis, age, gender, mood, speech, appearance, swallowing, and chewing contributed independently to general QoL. Conclusion: Patients were shown to benefit with regard to overall QoL after gross tumor resection from IFA, despite the impact of appearance, speech, and chewing. Function preservation and restoration are critical since their correlation with postoperative QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have uncovered that the microbiota in patients with head and neck cancers is significantly altered and may drive cancer development. However, there is limited data to explore the unique microbiota of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), and little is known regarding whether the oral microbiota can be utilized as an early diagnostic biomarker. METHODS Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we characterized the microbiome of oral rinse and tissue samples from 77 patients with LSCC and 76 control patients with vocal polyps, and then performed bioinformatic analyses to identify taxonomic groups associated with clinicopathologic features. RESULTS Multiple bacterial genera exhibited significant differences in relative abundance when stratifying by histologic and tissue type. By exploiting the distinct microbial abundance and identifying the tumor-associated microbiota taxa between patients of LSCC and vocal polyps, we developed a predictive classifier by using rinse microbiota as key features for the diagnosis of LSCC with 85.7% accuracy. CONCLUSION This is the first evidence of taxonomical features based on the oral rinse microbiome that could diagnose LSCC. Our results revealed the oral rinse microbiome is an understudied source of clinical variation and represents a potential non-evasive biomarker of LSCC.

Abstract
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays, atomic nuclei that continuously impact Earth's atmosphere, is unknown. Because of deflection by interstellar magnetic fields, cosmic rays produced within the Milky Way arrive at Earth from random directions. However, cosmic rays interact with matter near their sources and during propagation, which produces high-energy neutrinos. We searched for neutrino emission using machine learning techniques applied to 10 years of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By comparing diffuse emission models to a background-only hypothesis, we identified neutrino emission from the Galactic plane at the 4.5σ level of significance. The signal is consistent with diffuse emission of neutrinos from the Milky Way but could also arise from a population of unresolved point sources.

Abstract
The Omicron family of SARS-CoV-2 variants are currently driving the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we analyzed the clinical laboratory test results of 9911 Omicron BA.2.2 sublineages-infected symptomatic patients without earlier infection histories during a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Shanghai in spring 2022. Compared to an earlier patient cohort infected by SARS-CoV-2 prototype strains in 2020, BA.2.2 infection led to distinct fluctuations of pathophysiological markers in the peripheral blood. In particular, severe/critical cases of COVID-19 post BA.2.2 infection were associated with less pro-inflammatory macrophage activation and stronger interferon alpha response in the bronchoalveolar microenvironment. Importantly, the abnormal biomarkers were significantly subdued in individuals who had been immunized by 2 or 3 doses of SARS-CoV-2 prototype-inactivated vaccines, supporting the estimation of an overall 96.02% of protection rate against severe/critical disease in the 4854 cases in our BA.2.2 patient cohort with traceable vaccination records. Furthermore, even though age was a critical risk factor of the severity of COVID-19 post BA.2.2 infection, vaccination-elicited protection against severe/critical COVID-19 reached 90.15% in patients aged ≽ 60 years old. Together, our study delineates the pathophysiological features of Omicron BA.2.2 sublineages and demonstrates significant protection conferred by prior prototype-based inactivated vaccines.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of Liraglutide on platelet distribution width(PDW) and carotid intima-media thickness(cIMT) in type 2 diabetic mellitus patients with obesity. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. A total of 80 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) obese patients with unsatisfactory glucose control were prospectively enrolled in this study from the Department of Endocrinology of Yuhuangding Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from January to December 2021. All the participants were treated with metformin or sulfonylureas. They were randomly divided into two groups: Liraglutide treatment group (Li group, n=40) and Control group (Con group, n=40).The Li group started the treatment with Liraglutide on the basis of the original hypoglycemic agents and the Con group was treated with metformin and sulfonylurea. After 16 weeks of treatment, the changes of PDW, cIMT and body mass index (BMI) in the two groups were observed, multiple linear regression was uesd to analyze the influencing factors of cIMT variation, and the effect of liraglutide on PDW and cIMT in obese patients with type 2 diabetes was analyzed. Results: Finally, 38 patients completed the study in Li group, including 23 males and 15 females, aged 30-69(56±11) years. All 40 patients in Con group completed the study, including 18 males and 22 females, aged 39-67(59±7) years. After 16 weeks of treatment, the levels of PDW and cIMT in Li group were (12.8±1.6) fl and (0.85±0.08) mm, respectively, lower than those before treatment (15.0±1.6) fl and (1.14±0.10) mm (t=18.61 and 20.37, respectively, both P<0.001); The PDW and cIMT in Con group were (13.6±1.5) fl and (1.05±0.10) mm, respectively, lower than those before treatment (15.0±1.5) fl and (1.13±0.13) mm (t=17.42 and 9.65, respectively, both P<0.001). The levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and total cholesterol (TC) in both groups were lower than those before treatment(all P<0.001). After the treatment, the levels of PDW, cIMT, FPG and TC in Li group were lower than those in Con group (all P<0.05). The changes of PDW and cIMT before and after the treatment in Li group were (2.2±0.7) fl and (0.30±0.09) mm, respectively, higher than those in the Con group [(1.4±0.5) fl and (0.09±0.06) mm], with a statistically significant difference (both P<0.001). The changes of FPG and TC in Li group were significantly higher than those in Con group (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that liraglutide, the changes of TC and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were the influencing factors for the changes of cIMT [β (95%CI) were 0.20 (0.17-0.23), 0.03 (0.01-0.06), 0.01 (0.00-0.01), respectively, all P<0.05] Conclusion: Liraglutide treatment could reduce PDW and cIMT, thus contributing to cardiovascular benefits.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) patients in general have a higher risk of developing cancer. Several animal studies have indicated that cardiac remodeling and HF remarkably accelerate tumor progression, highlighting a cause-and-effect relationship between these two disease entities. Targeting ferroptosis, a prevailing form of non-apoptotic cell death, has been considered a promising therapeutic strategy for human cancers. Exosomes critically contribute to proximal and distant organ-organ communications and play crucial roles in regulating diseases in a paracrine manner. However, whether exosomes control the sensitivity of cancer to ferroptosis via regulating the cardiomyocyte-tumor cell crosstalk in ischemic HF has not yet been explored. Here, we demonstrate that myocardial infarction (MI) decreased the sensitivity of cancer cells to the canonical ferroptosis activator erastin or imidazole ketone erastin in a mouse model of xenograft tumor. Post-MI plasma exosomes potently blunted the sensitivity of tumor cells to ferroptosis inducers both in vitro in mouse Lewis lung carcinoma cell line LLC and osteosarcoma cell line K7M2 and in vivo with xenograft tumorigenesis model. The expression of miR-22-3p in cardiomyocytes and plasma-exosomes was significantly upregulated in the failing hearts of mice with chronic MI and of HF patients as well. Incubation of tumor cells with the exosomes isolated from post-MI mouse plasma or overexpression of miR-22-3p alone abrogated erastin-induced ferroptotic cell death in vitro. Cardiomyocyte-enriched miR-22-3p was packaged in exosomes and transferred into tumor cells. Inhibition of cardiomyocyte-specific miR-22-3p by AAV9 sponge increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to ferroptosis. ACSL4, a pro-ferroptotic gene, was experimentally established as a target of miR-22-3p in tumor cells. Taken together, our findings uncovered for the first time that MI suppresses erastin-induced ferroptosis through releasing miR-22-3p-enriched exosomes derived from cardiomyocytes. Therefore, targeting exosome-mediated cardiomyocyte/tumor pathological communication may offer a novel approach for the ferroptosis-based antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Neural circuit function is shaped both by the cell types that comprise the circuit and the connections between those cell types 1 . Neural cell types have previously been defined by morphology 2, 3 , electrophysiology 4, 5 , transcriptomic expression 6-8 , connectivity 9-13 , or even a combination of such modalities 14-16 . More recently, the Patch-seq technique has enabled the characterization of morphology (M), electrophysiology (E), and transcriptomic (T) properties from individual cells 17-20 . Using this technique, these properties were integrated to define 28, inhibitory multimodal, MET-types in mouse primary visual cortex 21 . It is unknown how these MET-types connect within the broader cortical circuitry however. Here we show that we can predict the MET-type identity of inhibitory cells within a large-scale electron microscopy (EM) dataset and these MET-types have distinct ultrastructural features and synapse connectivity patterns. We found that EM Martinotti cells, a well defined morphological cell type 22, 23 known to be Somatostatin positive (Sst+) 24, 25 , were successfully predicted to belong to Sst+ MET-types. Each identified MET-type had distinct axon myelination patterns and synapsed onto specific excitatory targets. Our results demonstrate that morphological features can be used to link cell type identities across imaging modalities, which enables further comparison of connectivity in relation to transcriptomic or electrophysiological properties. Furthermore, our results show that MET-types have distinct connectivity patterns, supporting the use of MET-types and connectivity to meaningfully define cell types.

Abstract
The SNO+ Collaboration reports the first evidence of reactor antineutrinos in a Cherenkov detector. The nearest nuclear reactors are located 240 km away in Ontario, Canada. This analysis uses events with energies lower than in any previous analysis with a large water Cherenkov detector. Two analytical methods are used to distinguish reactor antineutrinos from background events in 190 days of data and yield consistent evidence for antineutrinos with a combined significance of 3.5σ.

Abstract
pH-responsive antibacterial nanomaterials are a new type of nanomaterials that can selectively undergo structural changes and trigger drug release according to significant pH differences produced by the body under physiological and pathological conditions. The formation of acidic microenvironment in plaque is the key to the pathogenicity of oral plaque biofilm, which also creates conditions for the oral application of pH-responsive antibacterial nanomaterials. pH-responsive antibacterial nanomaterials can respond to changes in pH of plaque microenvironment and accurately control the release of antibacterial drugs, providing a new direction for improving drug efficacy and targeted antibacterial. The present article reviews the classification, mechanism and application of pH-responsive antibacterial nanomaterials in oral plaque inhibition.

Abstract
The inclusive electron neutrino charged-current cross section is measured in the NOvA near detector using 8.02×10^{20} protons-on-target in the NuMI beam. The sample of GeV electron neutrino interactions is the largest analyzed to date and is limited by ≃17% systematic rather than the ≃7.4% statistical uncertainties. The double-differential cross section in final-state electron energy and angle is presented for the first time, together with the single-differential dependence on Q^{2} (squared four-momentum transfer) and energy, in the range 1 GeV≤E_{ν}<6 GeV. Detailed comparisons are made to the predictions of the GENIE, GiBUU, NEUT, and NuWro neutrino event generators. The data do not strongly favor a model over the others consistently across all three cross sections measured, though some models have especially good or poor agreement in the single differential cross section vs Q^{2}.

Abstract
1. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various physiological functions. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of lncRNAs in melanogenesis remain unclear. To determine the molecular mechanisms involved in skin melanogenesis, the present study depicted the expression profiles of lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in black- (B group) and white- (W group) skinned chickens using RNA sequencing.2. In total, 373 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs; 203 up-regulated and 170 down-regulated) and 253 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; 152 up-regulated and 101 down-regulated) were identified between the B and W groups. A total of eight known melanogenesis-related genes were identified (KIT, TYRP1, DCT (TYRP2), SLC45A2, OCA2, EDNRB2, TRPM1 and RAB38).3. Functional annotation of the co-expressed DEGs and DELs was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. The co-expressed DEGs were mainly involved in melanogenesis and the co-expressed genes of 117 and 108 DELs were significantly enriched in the melanogenesis and tyrosine metabolism pathways, respectively.4. The DEL-DEG interaction network revealed that three lncRNAs (XR_003072387.1, XR_003075112.1, and XR_003077033.1) and DCT genes may have key roles in regulating melanogenesis in chicken skin. This data provides the groundwork for studying the lncRNA regulatory mechanisms of skin melanogenesis and suggested a new perspective on the modulation of melanogenesis in chicken skin based on a lncRNA-mRNA causal regulatory network.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most heavily immune infiltrated human tumors, having distinct immune subtypes associated with different molecular characteristics and clinical outcomes. The tumor microenvironment (TME) of HNSCC which was dominated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) had a relatively inferior prognosis. High levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) expression are associated with more aggressive and metastatic characteristics in multiple cancers. However, the link between the OLR1 expression and immunosuppression of TME, and the molecular mechanisms which govern intratumoral TAMs behavior are unclear. Here, we performed the transcriptional analysis based on a single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset of HNSCC, and found that the OLR1 expression was specifically enriched on the TAMs. Evaluation of protein expression within histologic sections of primary HNSCC patient samples showed a co-expression pattern of OLR1 and CD68 on macrophages. A total of 498 tumor samples of HNSCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were also analyzed. Remarkably, OLR1 expression was dramatically higher in HNSCC tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues, and the patients with high levels of OLR1 expression had significantly unfavorable overall survival (Hazard Ratio = 1.724, log-rank P-value = 0.0066) when compared to patients harboring low expression levels of OLR1. In summary, we reported that the specific expression of OLR1 on the TAMs was significantly correlated with poor survival outcomes, revealing that OLR1 could serve as a potential prognosis marker and promising target for immunotherapy in HNSCC.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the related factors and characteristics of gut microbiota and metabolites in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with urolithiasis. Methods: A total of 68 IBD patients with urolithiasis and 136 gender-and age-matched IBD patients without urolithiasis in the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019 were recruited. The diagnosis of urolithiasis was confirmed by plain films, ultrasonography, abdominal computed tomography or intravenous urography. The clinical data of patients were collected, and the association between the clinical characteristics and urolithiasis was further analyzed. The fecal samples were collected from 10 patients with urolithiasis and 18 patients without urolithiasis, and the gut microbiota and metabolites composition were analyzed. Results: There were 49 male and 19 female IBD patients with urolithiasis, with a mean age of (36.0±12.4) years, and 98 male and 38 female patients without urolithiasis, with a mean age of (36.1±12.5) years. Univariate analysis revealed that the rate of ileostomy and the resection of small intestine in Crohn's disease (CD) patients with urolithiasis (n=34) was significantly higher than CD patients without urolithiasis (n=68) (26.5% vs 7.4%, P=0.019). And the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was also higher [26.5 (12.0, 40.8) vs 13.0 (7.2, 32.5) mm/1 h, P=0.022] in CD patients with urolithiasis. There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics and biochemical parameters between the ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with urolithiasis (n=34) and without urolithiasis (n=68) (all P>0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that ileostomy and the resection of small intestine were the independent related factors for urolithiasis in CD patients (OR=4.619, 95%CI: 1.178-18.111, P=0.028). There was no significant difference in α and β diversity between the two groups (all P>0.05). At the phylum level, there was no significant difference in the abundance of microbiota (all P>0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of Enterococcus (P=0.049), Eubacterium_eligens (P=0.036) was significantly decreased. At the species level, the abundance of Bacteroides_coprocola was increased in urolithiasis group (P=0.035), while the abundance of Blautia_caecimuris was significantly decreased (P=0.042). No significant difference was found in fecal metabolites between the two groups (all P>0.05). According to LDA effect size (Lefse) analysis, taxa including Sphingomonadales, Fenollaria, Bacteroides_coprocola contributed greatly to the difference between the two groups. Conclusions: Ileostomy and the resection of small intestine are related factors for urolithiasis in patients with CD. Gut microbiota may be involved in the occurrence of urolithiasis in patients with IBD.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant bone tumor that most commonly affects children, adolescents, and young adults. Here, we comprehensively analyze genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic data from 121 OS patients. Somatic mutations are diverse within the cohort, and only TP53 is significantly mutated. Through unsupervised integrative clustering of the multi-omics data, we classify OS into four subtypes with distinct molecular features and clinical prognosis: (1) Immune activated (S-IA), (2) Immune suppressed (S-IS), (3) Homologous recombination deficiency dominant (S-HRD), and (4) MYC driven (S-MD). MYC amplification with HR proficiency tumors is identified with a high oxidative phosphorylation signature resulting in resistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Potential therapeutic targets are identified for each subtype, including platinum-based chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, anti-VEGFR, anti-MYC and PARPi-based synthetic lethal strategies. Our comprehensive integrated characterization provides a valuable resource that deepens our understanding of the disease, and may guide future clinical strategies for the precision treatment of OS.

Abstract
A supermassive black hole, obscured by cosmic dust, powers the nearby active galaxy NGC 1068. Neutrinos, which rarely interact with matter, could provide information on the galaxy’s active core. We searched for neutrino emission from astrophysical objects using data recorded with the IceCube neutrino detector between 2011 and 2020. The positions of 110 known gamma-ray sources were individually searched for neutrino detections above atmospheric and cosmic backgrounds. We found that NGC 1068 has an excess of

neutrinos at tera–electron volt energies, with a global significance of 4.2σ, which we interpret as associated with the active galaxy. The flux of high-energy neutrinos that we measured from NGC 1068 is more than an order of magnitude higher than the upper limit on emissions of tera–electron volt gamma rays from this source.

Abstract
Abstract
South Korea experiences four times more unmet healthcare needs than OECD countries (11.6% and 2.6% respectively). Unmet healthcare needs are caused by the double burden of direct and indirect costs including income loss, and OECD countries operate a sickness benefit scheme to resolve sudden loss of pay. Seoul introduced the first sickness benefit system, Seoul-Type Paid Sick Leave Support (hereinafter Seoul Sick Leave), for self-employed national healthcare insurance subscribers to reduce the rate of unmet healthcare needs. By comparing the amount of increasing medical expenses between the beneficiary and non-beneficiary before (2018) and after (2019-2020) the introduction of the system, the study was intended to confirm the reduced unmet healthcare needs. This study used data from the National Health Information Database (NHID) and the difference in differences (DID) analytic framework. 96 and 121 patients were included in benefit and non-benefit cohorts, respectively. As a result, the beneficiary group’s expenses were smaller than those of the non-beneficiary group (coef.=-1.24, p = 0.026). However, the beneficiary group had a greater amount of increase in hospitalization expenses before and after the introduction than the non-beneficiary group did (coef.=1.66, p = 0.005). Our finding showed that the Seoul Sick Leave helped the precarious workers as they were able to use inpatient services when they needed. If it is to be scaled up to the national level, it should be applied all people to enhance universal health insurance in Korea.
Key messages
• Identified the effectiveness of the first sickness benefit system as it helped the precarious workers as they were able to use inpatient services when they needed.
• By financially supporting them, the Seoul Sick Leave support can achieve health promotion through early detection and treatment.

Abstract
We present a search for an unstable sterile neutrino by looking for a resonant signal in eight years of atmospheric ν_{μ} data collected from 2011 to 2019 at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Both the (stable) three-neutrino and the 3+1 sterile neutrino models are disfavored relative to the unstable sterile neutrino model, though with p values of 2.8% and 0.81%, respectively, we do not observe evidence for 3+1 neutrinos with neutrino decay. The best-fit parameters for the sterile neutrino with decay model from this study are Δm_{41}^{2}=6.7_{-2.5}^{+3.9} eV^{2}, sin^{2}2θ_{24}=0.33_{-0.17}^{+0.20}, and g^{2}=2.5π±1.5π, where g is the decay-mediating coupling. The preferred regions of the 3+1+decay model from short-baseline oscillation searches are excluded at 90% C.L.

Abstract
The enrichment of soil-borne fungal pathogens and a high input of mineral fertilizer in the continuous cropping of cereal crops have raised a concern about soil health deterioration. Conversion of continuous cereal cropping to a legume-involved system alters the soil fungal community. However, when a leguminous cover crop is grown with a succeeding legume grain crop such as soya (Glycine max L. Merril), the effects on the soil fungal community when two legumes are involved in the crop system remain unclear. Thus, the effects of the cover crop on the soil fungal community under a succession of soya and a succession of maize (Zea mays L.) were clarified: a continuous wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-maize cropping system was converted to new rotation systems with three cover crop treatments: leguminous vetch (Vicia sativa L.), a mixture of vetch and rye (Secale cereale L.), and fallow, succeeded by soya or maize in this study. The soil fungal community at the harvest of soya and maize were determined using high-throughput sequencing of ITS2 amplicons. Compared to a wheat-maize rotation system, all of the new rotation systems that involved leguminous crops or fallow increased the soil fungal diversity and suppressed pathotrophs by reducing the soil NH4 +, NO3 -, available K, and available P concentrations. Different cover crops changed the fungal community composition, but their effect was overwhelmed by the strong effect of succeeding soya, which induced minor shifts among the cover crop treatments under soya than maize. The Vetch-Soya system exhibited the highest fungal diversity, which have been due to an increase of symbiotrophs. Replacing wheat with mixed vetch and rye most greatly suppressed the pathotrophs, and this suppression effect was stronger when succeeded by maize than by soya. These results showed the short-term benefits of legume-legume succession and legume-cereal mixed cover crops for increasing fungal diversity and suppressing pathotrophs. Further study is needed to examine the long-term effects of Vetch-Soya on the accumulation of legume-associated pathogens.

Abstract
Breeding for flower cold resistance is a priority for flower breeding research in northern China. The identification of cold resistance genes will not only provide genetic resources for cold resistance breeding, but also form a basis for the study of plant cold resistance mechanisms. Based on the flower transcriptome of Iris laevigata, 20 R2R3-MYBs were identified and comprehensive analysis, including conservative domain, phylogenetic analyses and functional distribution, were performed for R2R3-MYBs. Expression patterns of the abiotic stress genes under cold stress were detected, the upregulated gene was genetically transformed into tobacco, and the related physiological indicators of the transgenic tobacco were measured. A novel cold resistance gene, IlMYB306, was obtained. qRT-PCR indicated that IlMYB306 was dramatically induced by cold stress and was significantly upregulated in roots. The free proline content, MDA, SOD and POD activity of the transgenic tobacco improved after cold stress, and the chlorophyll content decreased slowly. In addition, overexpression of IlMYB306 improved cold resistance of the seeds. SEM results showed leaves of transgenic tobacco had obvious folds, more grooves and bulges on the lower leaf surface. Overall, we report a novel cold resistance R2R3-MYB gene, IlMYB306, in the flower of I. laevigata, which could improve tobacco cold stress tolerance by thickening the waxy layer, increasing antioxidant activity and the content of proline.

Abstract
Background
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) mostly occurs local recurrence at normal parenchyme adjacent tumor despite of conventional treatment. Glioma stem like cells (GSC) forming intratumoral heterogeneity within the GBM acquired the microenvironmental adaptation by inter-exosomal contents exchange between heterogenic cells. In addition, GSC has an invasive potential as like human GBM. Therefore, we investigate whether exosomal proteins of GSC affect the normal tissue invasion in GBM.
Material and Methods
Exosomes were isolated by Size-Exclusion method from conditioned media and validated by Electron microscope and Immunoblot assay. Exosomal proteomics were examined with Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS). To produce the fluorescent exosome, bi-cistron vectors were cloned with shRNA and CD63-GFP. To identify the effect of tranfected exosome, the isolated exosomes were treated to recipient cells and examined the invasion by 3D invasion assay and mouse intracranial model.
Results
Firstly, we dichotomized two groups following tumor invasion at matrigel assay and GSC derived orthotopic mouse model. CSC2 and X01 GSCs revealed highly invasive phenotype whereas 83NS and 528NS GSCs did not. Exosome was isolated in each group and identified by CD63 expression or electron microscopy. In proteomics analysis, hypoxia, extracellular matrix organization, GTPase cycle related proteins were enriched in highly invasive cell’s exosome. Among them, we focused the carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) and the epithelial membrane protein 2 (EMP2) on its permissive role to glioblastoma invasion respectively. CA9 and EMP2 mRNA and protein levels were verified in GSCs and their exosomes and the high expression levels were detected in CSC2 and X01 compared to the low one in 83NS and 528NS GSCs. To evaluate the effects of CA9 and EMP2 on exosome mediated invasion potential, viral bi-cistron vectors was composed with the target gene knockdown and the CD63 fluorescence was used to detect intracellular exosome transfer. Interestingly, the decreased expression of phosphorylated FAK, a key invasive marker, was observed after Lentiviral mediated CA9- and EMP2-knockdown in highly invasive CSC2. To identify whether CA9 and EMP2 proteins are the intracellular effector protein responsible for exosome mediated glioma invasion, the donor exosomes (Exo-CSC2-sh-CA9 and Exo-CSC2-EMP2, after Lentiviral transfection to CSC2s) were isolated and treated to the non invasive 528NS cells as recipient cells. In 3D invasion assay, Exo-CSC2-shCA9 or Exo-CSC2-shEMP2 mediated tumor invasion was significantly decreased at 528NS GSCs compared to Exo-CSC2-shEV. These features were found at mouse intracranial model as well.
Conclusion
Together with these, we conclude that exosome derived from GSCs induces a transition of invasive phenotype via transfer of EMP2 and CA9 proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (HSCCs) have poor prognoses. The use of surgical or non-surgical treatments for these patients remains a topic of debate. This study compared survival following surgical and non-surgical treatments of patients with advanced HSCC based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. METHODS Patients diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer from 2004 to 2018 were identified from the SEER database. Patients were divided into non-surgical group and surgical group, and patients in the surgical group were further divided into three groups: surgery-only, surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy and surgery with adjuvant chemoradiation therapy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary outcome was cancer-specific survival (CSS). Outcomes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was also used to identify independent prognostic factors. RESULTS The records of 1568 eligible patients with stage III or IV HSCC were examined. Receipt of surgery was associated with a longer OS [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.4-0.56] and a longer CSS (HR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.38-0.57) after adjusting for age, sex, race, tumor site, tumor size, tumor grade, TNM stage, AJCC stage, number of carcinomas, prior cancer, receipt of radiotherapy, and receipt of chemotherapy. The results for OS were similar in an exploratory analysis of different patient subgroups. CONCLUSION Among patients with advanced HSCC in the SEER database, treatment with surgery was associated with longer OS and CSS than treatment with a non-surgical modality.

Abstract
Background To summarize the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and prognosis of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients with paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS). Methods The clinical data of 1958 patients with HNC admitted to our hospital from January 1996 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and cancer‐related characteristics were extracted. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were compared by log‐rank test. Cox regression was performed to evaluate prognostic factors and hazard ratio. Results Totally 40 HNC patients with PNS were included in the final analysis, including 36 men and four women with a mean age of 60.4 years (range 40–82). PNS was dermatologic or cutaneous in 23 (57.50%) patients, endocrine in 10 (25.00%), neurologic in five (12.50%), and osteoarticular or rheumatologic in two (5.00%). Twenty‐five (62.50%) patients had Stage III/IV cancer. PNS regressed after antitumor therapy in 28 (70.00%) patients. Recurrence of PNS was observed in nine of 12 (75.00%) patients with cancer recurrence or metastasis. The 5‐year overall survival (OS) and disease‐free survival (DFS) rates of patients with PNS were 51.52% and 44.44%, respectively. The DFS (p = .001) and OS (p = .003) of patients presented with PNS prior to HNC diagnosis were significantly longer than those of patients with synchronous or metachronous PNS. PNS diagnosed before HNC (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 0.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.11–0.85, p = .02), Stage IV disease (aHR: 3.27, 95% CI: 1.18–9.05, p = .02), and smoking history (aHR: 3.69, 95% CI: 1.04–13.05, p = .04) were significantly associated with OS and DFS. Conclusions Early recognition of PNS could provide clues about underlying tumor condition and result in early diagnosis. Prompt detection of cancer‐associated syndromes could lead to a more favorable prognosis for these patients.
