Abstract
Physicochemical properties and protein alterations in Ovalipes punctatus during cold-chain transportation were examined via sensory scores, water-holding capacity (WHC), glucose (GLU) content, catalase (CAT) activity, urea nitrogen (UN) content, and tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic analysis. The results revealed that sensory characteristics and texture of crab muscle deteriorated during transportation. Proteomic analysis revealed 442 and 470 different expressed proteins (DEPs) in crabs after 18 h (FC) and 36 h (DC) of transportation compared with live crabs (LC). Proteins related to muscle structure and amino acid metabolism significantly changed, as evidenced by the decreased WHC and sensory scores of crab muscle. Glycolysis, calcium signaling, and peroxisome pathways were upregulated in the FC/LC comparison, aligning with the changes in GLU content and CAT activity, revealing the stress response of energy metabolism and immune response in crabs during 0-18 h of transportation. The downregulated tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species pathways were correlated with the decreasing trend in CAT activity, suggesting a gradual retardation in both energy and antioxidant metabolism in crabs during 18-36 h of transportation. Furthermore, the regulated purine nucleoside metabolic and nucleoside diphosphate-related processes, with the increasing changes in UN content, revealed the accumulation of metabolites in crabs.

Abstract
A total of 25 patients with right cardiac system tumors in the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2012 to October 2022 were retrospectively included in the study. The preoperative data, and information of surgical treatment and perioperative management on these patients were analyzed and summarized. One patient developed pulmonary embolism and died before surgery, and the other 24 patients (16 males and 8 females) received surgical treatment, with an average age of (44.7±10.2) years (24-74 years). Nine patients were diagnosed with malignant tumors. Among the 24 patients who received surgical treatment, two patients died during the perioperative period, in-situ tumor recurrence was seen in three patients within about 1 year after surgery (two patients died without surgery, and one patient died 3 months after surgery), two patients had distant metastasis, and 17 patients had a good prognosis. Right cardiac system tumors are rare, with a high malignant rate, and the clinical manifestations vary greatly. Active surgical intervention is found to be effective, and the prognosis is closely related to the pathological type and extent of tumor invasion.

Abstract
Warfarin is an irreplaceable oral anticoagulant for patients with mechanical heart valves, the stable pharmacogenetic-based warfarin dose prediction algorithms have improved the effectiveness and safety of warfarin anticoagulation therapy. Genetic factors are the main factors affecting the stable dose of warfarin. Single nucleotide polymorphisms such as VKORC1 and CYP2C9 affect the anticoagulation effect of warfarin through pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic pathways. Age, body surface area, combined use of drugs, and other nongenetic factors also affect the stable dose of warfarin. Previously published algorithms for warfarin dose prediction included mainly the white race, and most algorithms were constructed using traditional multiple linear regression. However, domestic studies have used machine learning methods to construct warfarin dose prediction algorithms based on the Chinese Han post-mechanical valve replacement population and have achieved better prediction efficiency. This article reviews the advances of warfarin anticoagulation influencing factors and the clinical application of stable dose prediction algorithms.

Abstract
Quercetin is widely distributed in plants as a flavonol compound with multiple biological activities. It has been found that quercetin can regulate bone homeostasis through multiple pathways and targets. This study investigated the role and specific molecular mechanisms of quercetin in regulating osteoblast viability, proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation. A mouse model of traumatic fracture was established and then 100 mg/kg quercetin corn oil suspension was gavaged at the same time every day for 28 days. miR-6089 and E2F transcription factor 2 (E2F2) expression levels in mice were measured. Fracture healing in mice was observed. MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with plasmids targeting miR-6089 and E2F2, and cell viability, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and osteogenic differentiation were determined. The targeting relationship between miR-6089 and E2F2 was verified. In vivo experiments showed that quercetin significantly increased osteocalcin (OCN) expression (P<0.05) and promoted fracture healing in traumatic fracture (TF) mice. miR-6089 expression was down-regulated (P<0.05) and E2F2 expression was up-regulated (P<0.05) in TF mice. Quercetin promoted miR-6089 expression and inhibited E2F2 expression (both P<0.05). In vitro results showed that quercetin promoted miR-6089 expression and inhibited E2F2 expression in a dose-dependent manner (both P<0.05). Quercetin dose-dependently promoted MC3T3-E1 cell viability, proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation, and inhibited MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis (all P<0.05). Up-regulating miR-6089 further promoted MC3T3-E1 cell viability, proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation, and inhibited MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis (all P<0.05). miR-6089 targeted and regulated E2F2 expression. Up-regulating E2F2 attenuated the promoting effect of up-regulated miR-6089 on MC3T3-E1 cell viability, proliferation, migration, osteogenic differentiation, and inhibition of apoptosis (all P<0.05). We conclude that quercetin enhances osteoblast viability, proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation by modulating the miR-6089/E2F2 axis, thereby promoting fracture healing.

Abstract
The physicochemical indexes and microbial diversity were investigated to compare the altered quality properties of the abdomen and cheliped muscle in swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) during 100 days of frozen storage at -20℃. Over the extended duration of frozen storage, the sensory evaluation, moisture content, water activity (Aw), and water-holding capacity (WHC) in the abdomen and cheliped muscles of swimming crab decreased, while the pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and trimethylamine (TMA) increased. The increase and decrease rates of these indicators were smaller in the abdomen than those in the cheliped muscle. High-throughput sequencing results indicated a reduction in the microbial richness and diversity in the abdomen and cheliped muscles of the swimming crab as frozen storage time extended. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, and Firmicutes, Achromobacter, Kocuria, and Staphylococcus were the dominant phylum and genus in both muscle tissues, respectively. Furthermore, the correlation analysis between the composition of the microbiota and physiochemical properties revealed that the growths of Kocuria, Vibrio, Staphylococcus, and Aliiroseovarius were closely related to the physiochemical factors. The study provides a theoretical reference for quality deterioration and develops new products of different parts in the swimming crab during frozen storage.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize clinical features and our experience of the diagnosis and treatment of laryngocele. Methods: Clinical data of 11 laryngocele patients in department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2012 to December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed, including 9 men and 2 women, aged from 12 to 75 years, with median age of 56 years. Electronic laryngoscope was performed in 10 of all patients, laryngeal CT in 10 and cervical color ultrasound in 5 before operation.All the operations were performed under general anesthesia, and the external cervical approach was used for external and combined laryngocele. The internal laryngocele was resected by low temperature plasma through transoral endoscopy. Patients were followed up regularly after operation to evaluate the effect. Clinical feature, types of lesions, imaging findings, surgical approaches and follow-up results were analyzed through descriptive statistical method. Results: Eleven laryngocele patients were divided into mixed type (n=6), internal type (n=4) and external type (n=1).Nine patients presented with hoarseness or dysphonia, 7 with cervical mass and 1 with airway obstruction. Surgical resections were done through external cervical approach (n=7)or transoral endoscopic approach (n=4). All the operations were successful and no complication occurred. All cases were followed up from 17 to 110 months. No recurrence was encountered. Conclusions: Laryngocele is a rare lesion with atypical clinical presentation. Preoperative imaging including CT scan and electronic laryngoscope is essential to evaluate the location, and extent of the lesion, and to make the surgical plan.Complete surgical excision is required. Surgical resection is the only effective method for the treatment of laryngocele.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of the proportion of hibernating myocardium (HM) in total perfusion defect (TPD) on reverse left ventricle remodeling (RR) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) by 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) combined with 18F-flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) gated myocardial imaging positron emission computed tomography (PET). Methods: Inpatients diagnosed with HFrEF at the Cardiac Surgery Center, Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to January 2022 were prospectively recruited. MPI combined with 18F-FDG gated PET was performed before surgery for viability assessment and the patients received follow-up MPI and 18F-FDG gated PET at different stages (3-12 months) after surgery. Δ indicated changes (post-pre). Left ventricular end-systolic volume (ESV) reduced at least 10% was defined as RR, patients were divided into reverse remodeling (RR+) group and the non-reverse group (RR-). Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of RR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to assess the cut-off value for predicting RR. Additionally, we retrospectively enrolled inpatients with HFrEF at the Cardiac Surgery Center, Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2021 to January 2022 as the validation group, who underwent MPI and 18F-FDG gated PET before surgery. Echocardiography was performed before CABG and after CABG (3-12 months). In the validation group, the reliability of obtaining the cut-off value for the ROC curve was verified. Results: A total of 28 patients with HFrEF (26 males; age (56.9±8.7) years) were included in the prospective cohort. HM/TPD was significantly higher in the RR+ group than in the RR- group ((51.8%±17.9%) vs. (35.7%±13.9%), P=0.016). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that HM/TPD was an independent predictor of RR (Odds ratio=1.073, 95% Confidence interval: 1.005-1.145, P=0.035). ROC curve analysis revealed that HM/TPD=38.3% yielded the highest sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy (all 75%) for predicting RR and the AUC was 0.786 (P=0.011). Meanwhile, a total of 100 patients with HFrEF (90 males; age (59.7±9.6) years) were included in the validation group. In the validation group, HM/TPD=38.3% predicted RR in HFrEF patients after CABG with the highest sensitivity, specificity and accuracy (82%, 60% and 73% respectively). Compared with the HFrEF patients in the HM/TPD<38.3% group (n=36), RR and cardiac function improved more significantly in the HM/TPD≥38.3% group (n=64) (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Preoperative HM/TPD ratio is an independent factor for predicting RR in patients with HFrEF after CABG, and HM/TPD≥38.3% can accurately predict RR and the improvement of cardiac function after CABG.

Abstract
Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) is a recent efficient metaheuristic algorithm that is enlightened by the biological behavior of ocean predators and prey. This algorithm simulates the Levy and Brownian movements of prevalent foraging strategy and has been applied to many complex optimization problems. However, the algorithm has defects such as a low diversity of the solutions, ease into the local optimal solutions, and decreasing convergence speed in dealing with complex problems. A modified version of this algorithm called ODMPA is proposed based on the tent map, the outpost mechanism, and the differential evolution mutation with simulated annealing (DE-SA) mechanism. The tent map and DE-SA mechanism are added to enhance the exploration capability of MPA by increasing the diversity of the search agents, and the outpost mechanism is mainly used to improve the convergence speed of MPA. To validate the outstanding performance of the ODMPA, a series of global optimization problems are selected as the test sets, including the standard IEEE CEC2014 benchmark functions, which are the authoritative test set, three well-known engineering problems, and photovoltaic model parameters tasks. Compared with some famous algorithms, the results reveal that ODMPA has achieved better performance than its counterparts in CEC2014 benchmark functions. And in solving real-world optimization problems, ODMPA could get higher accuracy than other metaheuristic algorithms. These practical results demonstrate that the mechanisms introduced positively affect the original MPA, and the proposed ODMPA can be a widely effective tool in tackling many optimization problems.

Abstract
Aiming at the poor robustness and adaptability of traditional control methods for different situations, the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm is improved by designing a hybrid function that includes different rewards superimposed on each other. In addition, the experience replay mechanism of DDPG is also improved by combining priority sampling and uniform sampling to accelerate the DDPG's convergence. Finally, it is verified in the simulation environment that the improved DDPG algorithm can achieve accurate control of the robot arm motion. The experimental results show that the improved DDPG algorithm can converge in a shorter time, and the average success rate in the robotic arm end-reaching task is as high as 91.27%. Compared with the original DDPG algorithm, it has more robust environmental adaptability.

Abstract
According to World Health Organization (WHO) survey, air pollution has become the major reason of several fatal diseases, which had led to the death of 7 million peoples around the globe. The 9 people out of 10 breathe air, which exceeds WHO recommendations. Several strategies are in practice to reduce the emission of pollutants into the air, and also strict industrial, scientific, and health recommendations to use sustainable green technologies to reduce the emission of contaminants into the air. Photocatalysis technology recently has been raised as a green technology to be in practice towards the removal of air pollutants. The scientific community has passed a long pathway to develop such technology from the material, and reactor points of view. Many classes of photoactive materials have been suggested to achieve such a target. In this context, the contribution of conjugated polymers (CPs), and their modification with some common inorganic semiconductors as novel photocatalysts, has never been addressed in literature till now for said application, and is critically evaluated in this review. As we know that CPs have unique characteristics compared to inorganic semiconductors, because of their conductivity, excellent light response, good sorption ability, better redox charge generation, and separation along with a delocalized π-electrons system. The advances in photocatalytic removal/reduction of three primary air-polluting compounds such as CO2, NOX, and VOCs using CPs based photocatalysts are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the synergetic effects, obtained in CPs after combining with inorganic semiconductors are also comprehensively summarized in this review. However, such a combined system, on to better charges generation and separation, may make the Adsorb & Shuttle process into action, wherein, CPs may play the sorbing area. And, we hope that, the critical discussion on the further enhancement of photoactivity and future recommendations will open the doors for up-to-date technology transfer in modern research.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or CABG plus mitral valve plasty (MVP) in patients with coronary heart disease complicated with moderate ischemic mitral insufficiency. Methods: The clinical data of 1 050 patients with coronary heart disease complicated with moderate ischemic mitral insufficiency who underwent surgical procedures from January 2009 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 733 males and 317 females, aging (63.3±9.0) years (range: 31 to 83 years). Patients were divided into CABG+MVP group and CABG group according to surgical methods, and the two groups of patients were matched for 1∶4 by the propensity score matching method. There were 107 patients in the CABG+MVP group and 406 patients in the CABG group after matching. The t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, Fisher's exact probability method and repeated measures anova were used to compare the surgical outcomes and overall survival in the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in perioperative death and postoperative complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with CABG group, CABG+MVP group had longer operation time ((5.6±1.2) hours vs. (4.2±1.0) hours, t=11.528, P<0.01), ICU stay(M(IQR))(43.0(47.3) hours vs. 25.0(33.6) hours, Z=2.483, P=0.013), and postoperative hospital stay (8(4) days vs. 7(5) days, Z=2.143, P=0.032). The amount of erythrocyte and platelet used in CABG+MVP group was significantly increased (2.0(6.5) U vs. 0(2.0) U, Z=7.084, P<0.01; 0(0.5) U vs. 0(0) U, Z=5.210, P<0.01). A total of 463 cases (93.9%) were followed up. Median follow-up was 32(31) months (range: 3 to 105 months). There was no significant difference in overall survival and no major adverse cardic and cerebrovascular events survival between CABG group and CABG+MVP group (P=0.196,P=0.305). Echocardiography showed that there was no significant difference in ejection fraction left ventricular end-diastolic diameter between the two groups (F=0.322, P=0.571; F=0.681, P=0.410). However, CABG+MVP improved mitral regurgitation better than CABG (F=160.222, P<0.01). Conclusions: For patients with coronary heart disease with moderate ischemic mitral insufficiency, the rates of all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events are similar between the two surgeries. Although CABG+MVP improves mitral regurgitation better than CABG, it increases the duration of surgery, ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay, and blood transfusion requirement.

Abstract
Objective: To in vestigate the death-related risk factors of surgical treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) combined with ventricular septal rupture (VSR). Methods: The clinical data of patients (68 cases) with ventricular septal rupture after myocardial infarction (PI-VSR) from January 2008 to December 2020 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively selected and analyzed. We followed up the surviving patients and divided them into the survival group and the death group according to the perioperative and follow-up results. The univariate analysis was performed on various indicators, and the Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors related to postoperative death. Results: A total of 68 patients (42 were male and 26 were female, with age 44-82 (64.3±8.2) years after surgical treatment of myocardial infarction combined with ventricular septal rupture were enrolled, 9 patients died during the perioperative period, 59 surviving patients were followed up for 0.1-10.5 years(mean, 4 years), and 7 deaths during follow-up. Based on this, 52 patients were selected as the survival group while 16 patients as the death group. The results of univariate analysis showed that age, VSR to operation time less than 7 days, killip grade ≥ grade 3, cardiogenic shock, preoperative use of IABP, emergent surgery were related to postoperative death. The factors with P<0.2 factors in univariate analysis were selected into the multivariate Cox regression analysis. Age ([OR=1.110(1.012-1.217), P=0.026], platelet count [OR=0.990(0.981-0.999), P=0.031], D dimer (OR=1.002[1.001-1.003], P=0.003), cardiogenic shock (OR=6.084[1.729-21.405], P=0.005) were independent risk factors for postoperative death. All patients were followed up, the survival rate of 2-year, 4-year, 6-year, 8-year, and 10-year was 77.5%, 77.5%, 71.0%, 71.0%, and 71.0%, respectively. Conclusions: Age, platelet count, D-dimer, and cardiogenic shock are risk factors for death after surgical treatment of myocardial infarction combined with ventricular septal rupture. Surgery is an effective method for the treatment of myocardial infarction combined with ventricular septal rupture. Long-term prognosis of the surviving patients during perioperative are relatively better.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of m7G-lncRNAs in predicting the prognosis and microenvironment of colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS We screened m7G-lncRNAs from TCGA to construct an m7G-lncRNAs risk model using multivariate Cox analysis, which was validated using ROC and C-index curves. Calibration and nomogram were used to predict the prognosis of CRC patients. Point-bar charts and K-M survival curves were used to assess the correlation of risk scores with the patients' clinical staging and prognosis. CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE were used to explore the association between the tumor microenvironment and immune cell infiltration in patients in high and low risk groups and the correlation of risk scores with microsatellite instability, stem cell index and immune checkpoint expression. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed, and the key targets regulated by m7G-lncRNAs were identified and validated in paired samples of CRC and adjacent tissues by immunoblotting. RESULTS We identified a total of 1722 m7G-lncRNAs from TCGA database, from which 12 lncRNAs were screened to construct the risk model. The AUCs of the risk model for predicting survival outcomes at 1, 3 and 5 years were 0.727, 0.747 and 0.794, respectively. The AUC of the nomogram for predicting prognosis was 0.794, and the predicted results were consistent with actual survival outcomes of the patients. The patients in the high-risk group showed more advanced tumor stages and a greater likelihood of high microsatellite instability than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.05). The tumor stemness index was negatively correlated with the risk score (r=-0.19; P=7.3e-05). Patients in the high-risk group had higher stromal cell scores (P=0.0028) and higher total scores (P=0.007) with lowered expressions of activated mast cells (r=-0.11; P=0.045) and resting CD4+ T cells (r=-0.14; P=0.01) and increased expressions of most immune checkpoints (P < 0.05). ATXN2 (P= 0.006) and G3BP1 (P=0.007) were identified as the key targets regulated by m7G-lncRNAs, and their expressions were both higher in CRC than in adjacent tissues. CONCLUSION The risk model based on 12 m7G-lncRNAs has important prognostic value for CRC and can reflect the microenvironment and the efficacy of immunotherapy in the patients.

Abstract
Background Drug-resistant bacteria are important carriers of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). This fact is crucial for the development of precise clinical drug treatment strategies. Long-read sequencing platforms such as the Oxford Nanopore sequencer can improve genome assembly efficiency particularly when they are combined with short-read sequencing data. Results Alcaligenes faecalis PGB1 was isolated and identified with resistance to penicillin and three other antibiotics. After being sequenced by Nanopore MinION and Illumina sequencer, its entire genome was hybrid-assembled. One chromosome and one plasmid was assembled and annotated with 4,433 genes (including 91 RNA genes). Function annotation and comparison between strains were performed. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that it was closest to A. faecalis ZD02. Resistome related sequences was explored, including ARGs, Insert sequence, phage. Two plasmid aminoglycoside genes were determined to be acquired ARGs. The main ARG category was antibiotic efflux resistance and β-lactamase (EC 3.5.2.6) of PGB1 was assigned to Class A, Subclass A1b, and Cluster LSBL3. Conclusions The present study identified the newly isolated bacterium A. faecalis PGB1 and systematically annotated its genome sequence and ARGs.

Abstract
An expert consensus on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) was released by the American Association for Thoracic Surgery in May 2021, which contains a vast array of perioperative recommendations. During preoperative period, a comprehensive assessment on ICM including myocardial viability and valve function by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach should be performed. In terms of intraoperative period, multiple arterial conduits and on-pump CABG using cold blood cardioplegia should be considered, meanwhile, other aspects involving concomitant management of mitral valve regurgitation and arrythmia, as well as active use of mechanical cardiac assist devices (e.g., intra-aortic balloon pump) should also be achieved. Finally, a range of postoperative interventions which includes standardized MDT management in intensive care unit (ICU), continuous use of cardiac assist devices, cardiac pacing, close follow-up within 90 days and drug treatment strictly guided by the guidelines after discharge from hospital should be conducted. The above-mentioned perioperative bundled care might reduce perioperative complications and operative mortality, and thus improve the prognosis of the patients with ICM.

Abstract
Many factors still need to be evaluated to fully understand the physical mechanisms determining optical cavity vibration, which are crucial for designing and constructing a transportable ultra-stable laser. Herein, a detailed dynamic analysis is used to characterize the vibration modes of a transportable optical cavity. The first five resonance modes are identified in the presence of a cavity support, and the guidelines to achieve a high first-order resonance frequency are proposed; thereby, high robustness is described using a 50 mm length optical cavity. The results demonstrate that the first-order resonance of up to 681 Hz with a gross weight of 2.51 kg can be achieved using an optimization strategy for given cavity support. The theoretical results are consistent with simulation and experiment. With the optimal group, a 1.34 Hz linewidth transportable ultra-stable laser at 1550 nm is established, and a linewidth of 1.5 Hz and frequency instability of 9.5×10-15@1s are obtained after the test including 100 km actual road transportation and 34 min continuous vibration. The test condition is equivalent to ∼ 1000 km road transportation. Our method can be readily extended to other transportable optical cavities, providing a powerful tool for improving the robustness of vibration, particularly important for transportable environments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a sudden cardiovascular event that endangers human life. MicroRNA is considered to be an important participant in the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI). This article aim was to study the function and mechanisms of microRNA-346 (miR-346) on myocardium after MI. MATERIALS AND METHODS To study the role of miR-346 in MI, we established H2O2-induced H9c2 cell injury model and rat MI model. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect miR-346 expression. Western blot was utilized to measure the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, TNF-α, IL-6 and NFIB. Apoptosis of H9c2 cells was detected by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay was utilized to measure the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in supernatant. Assessment of left ventricular function in rats was performed using echocardiography. RESULTS MiR-346 was significantly upregulated in H2O2-treated H9c2 cells and ischemic myocardium. In the H9c2 cell injury model, the expressions of Bax, TNF-α, and IL-6 were greatly increased while Bcl-2 expression was decreased, and the number of TUNEL-positive cells and apoptosis rate were also significantly increased. At the same time, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the cell supernatant were markedly increased. However, after miR-346 expression was suppressed, these results were reversed. The expression of Bcl-2 increased, while the expression of Bax, TNF-α, and IL-6 decreased. The contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in the cell supernatant also decreased significantly. Both the number of TUNEL-positive cells and the apoptosis rate were markedly reduced. After injecting antagomir-346 into the myocardium of rats to silence miR-346, the cardiac function of MI rats was remarkably improved, and the LDH content in the serum of rats also decreased significantly. Using computational predictions tools, Western blotting and Luciferase activity assay, we found that nuclear factor I/B (NFIB) was targeted by miR-346. CONCLUSIONS The expression of miR-346 was increased in H9c2 cells and ischemic myocardium of MI rats. Silencing miR-346 can significantly inhibit the inflammatory response and the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes by targeting NFIB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of microRNA-449 (miRNA-449) on cTnI and cardiac function and reveal the mechanism of Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1)-mediated histone deacetylation in cardiomyocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, we used biochemical analysis and Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay to confirm that HDAC1 and miR-449 having the binding site. Then, the effect of miR-449 inhibited HDAC1 on cTnI gene transcription was observed. In vivo, the effect of histone acetylation on cTnI expression and cardiac function in heart was observed in elderly mice with low expression of cTnI through miR-449 agomiR intervention. RESULTS This study revealed miR-449 can sponge with HDAC1. HDAC1-mediated histone deacetylation was involved in the regulation of cTnI gene expression by HDAC1-mediated acetylation of H3K4 and H3K9 in cTnI promoter regions. In addition, HDAC1-mediated histone deacetylation regulated the binding of the transcription factor GATA4 to the GATA element in the cTnI promoter region and improved cardiac function in elderly mice with low expression of cTnI CONCLUSIONS: MiR-449 can regulate the acetylation of the histones H3K4 and H3K9 of the GATA element in the cTnI promoter region, thereby recruiting the transcription factor GATA4 to the cTnI promoter region, upregulating the cTnI gene expression, and improving cardiac function in elderly mice with low expression of cTnI.

Abstract
The discovery of cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is of great significance in designing more effective treatments and improving the diagnostic efficiency in cancer patients. In the study, we develop an appropriate machine learning model for tracing the tissue of origin of CUP with high accuracy after feature engineering and model evaluation. Based on a copy number variation data consisting of 4,566 training cases and 1,262 independent validation cases, an XGBoost classifier is applied to 10 types of cancer. Extremely randomized tree (Extra tree) is used for dimension reduction so that fewer variables replace the original high-dimensional variables. Features with top 300 weights are selected and principal component analysis is applied to eliminate noise. We find that XGBoost classifier achieves the highest overall accuracy of 0.8913 in the 10-fold cross-validation for training samples and 0.7421 on independent validation datasets for predicting tumor tissue of origin. Furthermore, by contrasting various performance indices, such as precision and recall rate, the experimental results show that XGBoost classifier significantly improves the classification performance of various tumors with less prediction error, as compared to other classifiers, such as K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Bayes, support vector machine (SVM), and Adaboost. Our method can infer tissue of origin for the 10 cancer types with acceptable accuracy in both cross-validation and independent validation data. It may be used as an auxiliary diagnostic method to determine the actual clinicopathological status of specific cancer.

Abstract
It is urgent to find an effective antiviral drug against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, 96 virus-drug associations (VDAs) from 12 viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and similar viruses and 78 small molecules are selected. Complete genomic sequence similarity of viruses and chemical structure similarity of drugs are then computed. A KATZ-based VDA prediction method (VDA-KATZ) is developed to infer possible drugs associated with SARS-CoV-2. VDA-KATZ obtained the best AUCs of 0.8803 when the walking length is 2. The predicted top 3 antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 are remdesivir, oseltamivir, and zanamivir. Molecular docking is conducted between the predicted top 10 drugs and the virus spike protein/human ACE2. The results showed that the above 3 chemical agents have higher molecular binding energies with ACE2. For the first time, we found that zidovudine may be effective clues of treatment of COVID-19. We hope that our predicted drugs could help to prevent the spreading of COVID.
