Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention due to their designable structures. However, recently reported MOF microwave-absorbing materials (MAMs) are dominated by powders. It remains a challenge to design MOF/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite structures that combine the mechanical properties of self-supporting flexibility with excellent microwave absorption. This work involves the hydrothermal approach to grow Ni-MOF of different microstructures in situ on the CNT monofilament by adjusting the molar ratio of nickel ions to organic ligands. Subsequently, an ultraflexible self-supporting Ni-MOF/CNT buckypaper (BP) is obtained by directional gas pressure filtration technology. The BP porous skeleton and the Ni-MOF with a unique porous structure provide effective impedance matching. The CNTs contribute to the conduction loss, the cross-scale heterogeneous interface generated by Ni-MOF/CNT BP provides rich interfacial polarization loss, and the porous structure complicates the microwave propagation path. All factors work together to give Ni-MOF/CNT BP an excellent microwave absorption capacity. The minimum reflection losses of Ni-MOF/CNT BPs decorated with granular-, hollow porous prism-, and porous prism-shaped Ni-MOFs reach -50.8, -57.8, and -43.3 dB, respectively. The corresponding effective absorption bandwidths are 4.5, 6.3, and 4.8 GHz, respectively. Furthermore, BPs show remarkable flexibility as they can be wound hundreds of times around a glass rod with a diameter of 4 mm without structural damage. This work presents a new concept for creating ultraflexible self-supported MOF-based MAMs with hierarchical interpenetrating porous structures, with potential application advantages in the field of flexible electronics.

KLRB1 defines an activated phenotype of CD4+ T cells and shows significant upregulation in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 133:112072. [PMID: 38636371 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the role of KLRB1 (CD161) in human CD4+ T cells and elucidate its significance in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). METHODS Peripheral blood samples from 37 healthy controls and 44 pSS patients were collected. The publicly available single-cell RNA-Seq data from pSS patient PBMCs were utilized to analyse KLRB1 expression in T cells. KLRB1-expressing T lymphocyte subset proportions in pSS patients and healthy controls were determined by flow cytometry. CD25, Ki-67, cytokine secretion, and chemokine receptor expression in CD4+ KLRB1+ T cells were detected and compared with those in CD4+ KLRB1- T cells. Correlation analysis was conducted between KLRB1-related T-cell subsets and clinical indicators. ROC curves were generated to explore the diagnostic potential of KLRB1 for pSS. RESULTS KLRB1 was significantly upregulated following T-cell activation, and Ki-67 and CD25 expression was significantly greater in CD4+ KLRB1+ T cells than in CD4+ KLRB1- T cells. KLRB1+ CD4+ T cells exhibited greater IL-17A, IL-21, IL-22, and IFN-γ secretion upon stimulation, and there were significantly greater proportions of CCR5+, CCR2+, CX3CR1+, CCR6+, and CXCR3+ cells among CD4+ KLRB1+ T cells than among CD4+ KLRB1- T cells. Compared with that in HCs, KLRB1 expression in CD4+ T cells was markedly elevated in pSS patients and significantly correlated with clinical disease indicators. CONCLUSION KLRB1 is a characteristic molecule of the CD4+ T-cell activation phenotype. The increased expression of KLRB1 in the CD4+ T cells of pSS patients suggests its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of pSS and its utility as an auxiliary diagnostic marker for pSS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a frequently observed complication in advanced malignant tumors. Clinical studies have shown that lentinan for injection (LNT) is beneficial for improving patients' quality of life and prolonging their survival. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LNT combining cisplatin in the treatment of MPE. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of LNT combining cisplatin in the treatment of MPE were searched in 6 literature databases from the establishment time of each database by 2 researchers. According to the inclusion criteria, 2 researchers independently screened studies, assessed the risk of bias and conducted subgroup analyses for different outcome indicators according to the specific characteristics of the included literature. Analyzing the data by Revman software, and evaluating the stability of the results by Stata software. RESULTS A total of 52 RCTs were included. The results showed that combined use of LNT and cisplatin could improve the treatment effect, and the difference between groups was statistically significant (RR = 1.40, 95%CI: 1.33 ~ 1.46, P < .001). And the combined use of LNT could increase the quality of life (RR = 1.45, 95%CI: 1.35 ~ 1.56, P < .001). The using of LNT could significantly decrease the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions (RR = 0.86, 95%CI: 0.78 ~ 0.94, P < .001). Sensitivity analysis results showed that there were no qualitative changes in the indicator, and suggested the possibility of publication bias. CONCLUSIONS Available evidence suggested the combined use of LNT and cisplatin showed better efficacy in treating MPE without increasing ADR incidence than using cisplatin alone. LNT is an ideal treatment for MPE, which has high clinical application value.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have a multilayer skeleton with a periodic π-conjugated molecular array, which can facilitate charge carrier transport within a COF layer. However, the lack of an effective charge carrier transmission pathway between 2D COF layers greatly limits their applications in electrocatalysis. Herein, by employing a side-chain polymerization strategy to form polythiophene along the nanochannels, a conjugated bridge is constructed between the COF layers. The as-synthesized fully conjugated COF (PTh-COF) exhibits high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity with narrowed energy band gaps. Correspondingly, PTh-COF is tested as a metal-free cathode catalyst for anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) which showed a maximum power density of 176 mW cm-2 under a current density of 533 mA cm-2. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that interlayer conjugated polythiophene optimizes the electron cloud distribution, which therefore enhances the ORR performance. This work not only provides new insight into the construction of a fully conjugated covalent organic framework but also promotes the development of new metal-free ORR catalysts.

Abstract
Bone metastasis has been reported in up to 70% of patients with advanced breast cancer. A total of 55.76% of skeletal metastases in women were derived from breast cancer. However, patients with bone metastasis from an occult primary breast cancer are a rare subset of patients. Here, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman who had sternum pain for 4 months. A whole-body PET-CT scan revealed that the FDG uptake of both the sternum and internal mammary node was significantly increased. The final diagnosis of occult breast cancer was established by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, which is of great significance for identifying the origin of a metastatic tumor despite no visualized lesions of mammary glands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric carcinoma (GC) remains a significant therapeutic challenge, garnering widespread attention. Oxymatrine (OMT), an active component of the traditional Chinese medicine compound Kushen injection (CKI), has shown promising results in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of GC. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying OMT's therapeutic effects in GC have yet to be elucidated. METHODS The transcriptomic expression data of HGC-27 post-OMT intervention were obtained through microarray sequencing, while the miRNA and mRNA sequencing data for GC patients were sourced from the TCGA database. The mechanism of OMT intervention in GC is analyzed in multiple aspects, including Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI), Competitive Endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks, correlation and co-expression analyses, immune infiltration, and clinical implications. RESULTS By analyzing key modules, five critical mRNAs were identified, and their interacting miRNAs were predicted to construct a ceRNA network. Among these, TGFBR2 and hsa-miR-107 have correlations or co-expression relationships with other genes in the network. They are differentially expressed in most other cancers, associated with prognosis, and have diagnostic value. TGFBR2 also exhibits immune infiltration phenomena, and its high expression is linked to poor patient prognosis. Low expression of hsa-miR-107 is associated with poor patient prognosis. OMT may act on the TGFβ/Smad signaling pathway or negatively regulate the WNT signaling pathway through the hsa-miR-107/BTRC axis, thereby inhibiting the onset and progression of GC. CONCLUSION The mechanisms of OMT intervention in GC are diverse, TGFBR2 and hsa-miR-107 may serve as prognostic molecular biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Introduction Whether the hypertension burden is associated with stroke incidence is inconclusive. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between hypertension burden and stroke risk in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods HFpEF patients from the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial were divided into three groups (low, medium, and high risk) according to their hypertension burden values. Higher hypertension burden risk represented the longer duration of hypertension. We evaluated the association of hypertension burden with stroke risk using Fine and Gray's competing risk models. Results A total of 3431 HFpEF patients (mean age: 68.5 ± 9.58 years, 51.6% females) were enrolled. During a median follow-up of 3.3 years, per 10-point increase in hypertension burden was associated with any stroke (hazard ratio [HR] 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-1.21), new-onset stroke (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.07-1.21), and ischemic stroke (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.17). When hypertension burden was analyzed as a categorical variable, any stroke risk was increased in the medium- (HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.01-2.40) and high-risk (HR 3.19, 95% CI 2.05-4.97) groups when compared with the low-risk group. For the outcomes of new-onset (HR 2.92, 95% CI 1.80-4.74) and ischemic stroke (HR 2.46, 95% CI 1.41-4.29), similar results were observed in patients with high-versus low-risk hypertension burden. Conclusions Increasing hypertension burden was associated with an increased risk of stroke, suggesting that shortening hypertension duration might appropriately minimize the stroke incidence in HFpEF patients.

Abstract
Many meta-analyses have assessed the efficacy of preventive interventions against ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critically ill patients. However, there has been no comprehensive analysis of the strength and quality of evidence to date. Systematic reviews of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials, which evaluated the effect of preventive strategies on the incidence of VAP in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h, were included in this article. We identified a total of 34 interventions derived from 31 studies. Among these interventions, 19 resulted in a significantly reduced incidence of VAP. Among numerous strategies, only selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) was supported by highly suggestive (Class II) evidence (risk ratio (RR)=0.439, 95% CI: 0.362-0.532). Based on data from the sensitivity analysis, the evidence for the efficacy of non-invasive ventilation in weaning from mechanical ventilation (NIV) was upgraded from weak (Class IV) to highly suggestive (Class II) (RR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.22-0.46). All preventive interventions were not supported by robust evidence for reducing mortality. Early mobilization exhibited suggestive (Class III) evidence in shortening both intensive length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) (mean difference (MD)=-0.85, 95% CI: -1.21 to -0.49) and duration of mechanical ventilation (MD=-1.02, 95% CI: -1.41 to -0.63). In conclusion, SDD and NIV are supported by robust evidence for prevention against VAP, while early mobilization has been shown to significantly shorten the LOS in the ICU and the duration of mechanical ventilation. These three strategies are recommendable for inclusion in the ventilator bundle to lower the risk of VAP and improve the prognosis of critically ill patients.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging porous materials that can serve as carriers of photosensitizers and photothermal agents. Meanwhile, a large number of active sites in MOFs endow them with the characteristics of modification by postsynthetic modification. Herein, a dual-modal PDT/PTT therapeutic agent HMIL-121-acriflavine-tetrakis (4-amoniophenyl) porphyrin (HMIL-ACF-Por), prepared by the postsynthetic modification of the MOF (HMIL-121), was reported for antibacterial applications. The prepared HMIL-ACF-Por enables the generation of abundant reactive oxygen species, including the superoxide anion radical (O2-) and singlet oxygen (1O2), and thermal energy under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. HMIL-ACF-Por showed good antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Meanwhile, HMIL-ACF-Por can effectively inhibit the inflammatory response caused by bacterial infection and accelerate S. aureus-infected wound healing under laser irradiation owing to the synergistic effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). These results demonstrate that HMIL-ACF-Por is a promising PDT/PTT therapeutic agent. This work also contributes to offering an effective solution for treating bacterial infections and promotes the application of MOF-based materials in biomedicine.

Abstract
Echinococcosis poses a significant threat to public health. The Chinese government has implemented prevention and control measures to mitigate the impact of the disease. By analyzing data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the State Council of the People's Republic of China, we found that implementation of these measures has reduced the infection rate by nearly 50% between 2004 to 2022 (from 0.3975 to 0.1944 per 100,000 person-years). Nonetheless, some regions still bear a significant disease burden, and lack of detailed information limites further evaluation of the effects on both alveolar and cystic echinococcosis. Our analysis supports the continuing implementation of these measures and suggests that enhanced wildlife management, case-based strategies, and surveillance systems will facilitate disease control.

Abstract
Bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP upregulation is associated with the transition from planktonic to sessile microbial lifestyle, inhibiting cellular motility, and virulence. However, in-depth elucidation of the cellular processes resulting from c-di-GMP upregulation has not been fully explored. Here, we report the role of upregulated cellular c-di-GMP in promoting planktonic cell growth of Escherichia coli K12 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. We found a rapid expansion of cellular growth during initial cellular c-di-GMP upregulation, resulting in a larger planktonic bacterial population. The initial increase in c-di-GMP levels promotes bacterial swarming motility during the growth phase, which is subsequently inhibited by the continuous increase of c-di-GMP, and ultimately facilitates the formation of biofilms. We demonstrated that c-di-GMP upregulation triggers key bacterial genes linked to bacterial growth, swarming motility, and biofilm formation. These genes are mainly controlled by the master regulatory genes csgD and csrA. This study provides us a glimpse of the bacterial behavior of evading potential threats through adapting lifestyle changes via c-di-GMP regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study employed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive treatment with injectable Lentinan (LNT) in combination with chemotherapy for gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Computer-based searches of 6 databases were performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) relevant to the treatment of GC with LNT through mid-March 2023. Two independent researchers performed risk of bias assessment and trial sequential analysis(TSA), extracted the data and used Revman 5.3 software for data analysis. The certainty of evidence was graded based on the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach. RESULTS A total of 31 RCTs with 2729 patients were included in the analysis. The results revealed that adjunctive therapy with LNT was associated with improved treatment efficacy (RR = 1.48, 95%CI: 1.36 ∼ 1.61, p < 0.00001), improvement in clusters of differentiation (CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+), natural killer (NK) cells, and quality of life assessment (RR = 1.32, 95%CI: 1.20 ∼ 1.45, p < 0.00001) compared to using chemotherapy alone. In addition, there was a reduction in CD8+ levels, incidence of white blood cell decline, gastrointestinal reactions, and platelet decline. TSA results indicated that there was sufficient evidence to draw firm conclusions about these outcomes, and the GRADE scores showed 'high' or 'moderate' quality of evidence for these outcomes. CONCLUSION The efficacy of treatment of GC with LNT in combination with chemotherapy was found to be better than chemotherapy alone. And no serious adverse effects were observed. However, further RCTs are needed to further validate the results of this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a prominent form of esophageal cancer. Aurora A (AURKA), an enzyme that phosphorylates serine and threonine, has a vital function in controlling the process of separating chromosomes during cell division. The contribution of this entity has been documented in the advancement of malignant proliferations, including tumors occurring in the breast, stomach, and ovaries. METHODS The potential molecular mechanism of AURKA is comprehensively examined through the analysis of bulk RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq data obtained from publicly available databases. This analysis encompasses various aspects such as expression levels, prognosis, and functional pathways, among others. RESULTS The upregulation of AURKA in ESCC has been found to be correlated with the overall survival of patients. The functional annotation and pathway enrichment analysis conducted in this study lead to the conclusion that AURKA participates in the regulation of a number of malignant processes connected to cell proliferation, such as cell cycle control, apoptosis, and the p53 signaling pathway. Additionally, AURKA has been found to be associated with drug sensitivity and has an impact on the infiltration of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in ESCC. CONCLUSIONS AURKA exhibits potential as a prognostic and therapeutic biomarker linked to the regulation of cell cycle and cell proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is increasingly recognized as a chronic, progressive and fatal lung disease with an unknown etiology. Current studies focus on revealing the genetic factors in the risk of IPF, making the integrative analysis of genetic variations and transcriptomic alterations of substantial value. AIM This study aimed to improve the understanding of the molecular basis of IPF through an integrative analysis of whole-exome sequencing (WES), bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. METHODS WES is a powerful tool for studying the genetic basis of IPF, allowing for the identification of genetic variants that may be associated with the development of the disease. RNA-seq data provide a comprehensive view of the transcriptional changes in IPF patients, while scRNA-seq data offer a more granule view of cell-type-specific alterations. RESULTS In this study, we identified a comprehensive mutational landscape of recurrent genomic and transcriptomic variations, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms, CNVs and differentially expressed genes, in IPF populations, which may play a significant role in the development and progression of IPF. CONCLUSIONS Our study provided valuable insights into the genetic and transcriptomic variations associated with IPF, revealing changes in gene expression that may contribute to disease development and progression. These findings highlight the importance of an integrative approach to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying IPF and may pave the way for identifying potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a snail control approach for spraying chemicals with drones against Oncomelania hupensis in complex snail habitats in hilly regions, and to evaluate its molluscicidal effect. METHODS The protocol for evaluating the activity of spraying chemical molluscicides with drones against O. hupensis snails was formulated based on expert consultation and literature review. In August 2022, a pretest was conducted in a hillside field environment (12 000 m2) north of Dafengji Village, Dacang Township, Weishan County, Yunnan Province, which was assigned into four groups, of no less than 3 000 m2 in each group. In Group A, environmental cleaning was not conducted and 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules were sprayed with drones at a dose of 40 g/m2, and in Group B, environmental cleaning was performed, followed by 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules sprayed with drones at a dose of 40 g/m2, while in Group C, environmental cleaning was not conducted and 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules were sprayed with knapsack sprayers at a dose of 40 g/m2, and in Group D, environmental cleaning was performed, followed by 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules sprayed with knapsack sprayers at a dose of 40 g/m2. Then, each group was equally divided into six sections according to land area, with Section 1 for baseline surveys and sections 2 to 6 for snail surveys after chemical treatment. Snail surveys were conducted prior to chemical treatment and 1, 3, 5, 7 days post-treatment, and the mortality and corrected mortality of snails, density of living snails and costs of molluscicidal treatment were calculated in each group. RESULTS The mortality and corrected mortality of snails were 69.49%, 69.09%, 53.57% and 83.48%, and 68.58%, 68.17%, 52.19% and 82.99% in groups A, B, C and D 14 days post-treatment, and the density of living snails reduced by 58.40%, 63.94%, 68.91% and 83.25% 14 days post-treatment relative to pre-treatment in four groups, respectively. The median concentrations of chemical molluscicides were 37.08, 35.42, 42.50 g/m2 and 56.25 g/m2 in groups A, B, C and D, and the gross costs of chemical treatment were 0.93, 1.50, 0.46 Yuan per m2 and 1.03 Yuan per m2 in groups A, B, C and D, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The molluscicidal effect of spraying 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules with drones against O. hupensis snails is superior to manual chemical treatment without environmental cleaning, and chemical treatment with drones and manual chemical treatment show comparable molluscicidal effects following environmental cleaning in hilly regions. The cost of chemical treatment with drones is slightly higher than manual chemical treatment regardless of environmental cleaning. Spraying 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules with drones is recommended in complex settings with difficulty in environmental cleaning to improve the molluscicidal activity and efficiency against O. hupensis snails.

A new strategy to identify ADAM12 and PDGFRB as a novel prognostic biomarker for matrine regulates gastric cancer via high throughput chip mining and computational verification. Comput Biol Med 2023; 166:107562. [PMID: 37847945 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2023.107562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is a life-threatening disease that poses a serious risk to human health. Although there are numerous molecular targets for gastric cancer in clinical practice, they often exhibit low specificity and sensitivity. Consequently, this can result in a low early diagnosis rate, delayed treatment, and poor prognosis for patients with gastric cancer. Hence, it remains crucial to identify more precise diagnostic markers for this disease. METHODS This study utilized ceRNA chips and bioinformatics methods to investigate the key genes and mechanisms involved in matrine intervention in gastric cancer cells. RESULTS ADAM12 and PDGFRB are the key genes that are down-regulated after matrine intervention in gastric cancer cells. By conducting bioinformatics analysis, two ceRNA regulatory axes were identified, which are associated with the prognosis of gastric cancer. These axes are lncRNA DGCR5/hsa-miR-206/ADAM12 and circRNA ITGA3/hsa-miR-24-3p/PDGFRB. CONCLUSION The low expression of ADAM12 may weaken the digestion of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, which can result in the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. This occurs without the catalysis of ECM proteases, thereby impacting the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells. Additionally, the analysis of immune infiltration suggests that ADAM12 and PDGFRB may influence changes in the tumor immune microenvironment, thereby affecting the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of the matrine-related ceRNA network in gastric cancer, providing a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. It holds significant importance in discovering new drug treatment targets.

Comput Biol Med 2023; 165:107402. [PMID: 37657358 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2023.107402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most prevalent subtype of non-small cell lung cancer. Additionally, disulfidptosis, a newly discovered type of cell death, has been found to be closely associated with the onset and progression of tumors. METHODS The study first identified genes related to disulfidptosis through correlation analysis. These genes were then screened using univariate cox regression and LASSO regression, and a prognostic model was constructed through multivariate cox regression. A nomogram was also created to predict the prognosis of LUAD. The model was validated in three independent data sets: GSE72094, GSE31210, and GSE37745. Next, patients were grouped based on their median risk score, and differentially expressed genes between the two groups were analyzed. Enrichment analysis, immune infiltration analysis, and drug sensitivity evaluation were also conducted. RESULTS In this study, we examined 21 genes related to disulfidptosis and developed a gene signature that was found to be associated with a poorer prognosis in LUAD. Our model was validated using three independent datasets and showed AUC values greater than 0.5 at 1, 3, and 5 years. Enrichment analysis revealed that the disulfidptosis-related genes signature had a multifaceted impact on LUAD, particularly in relation to tumor development, proliferation, and metastasis. Patients in the high-risk group exhibited higher tumor purity and lower stromal score, ESTIMATE score, and Immune score. CONCLUSION This study constructed a gene signature related to disulfidptosis in lung adenocarcinoma and analyzed its impact on the disease and its association with the tumor microenvironment. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into the understanding of lung adenocarcinoma and could potentially lead to the development of new treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis and prognostic predication of gastric cancer (GC) pose significant challenges in current clinical practice of GC treatments. Therefore, our aim was to explore relevant gene signatures that can predict the prognosis of GC patients. METHODS Here, we established a single-cell transcriptional atlas of GC, focusing on the expression of T-cell-related genes for cell-cell communication analysis, trajectory analysis, and transcription factor regulatory network analysis. Additionally, we conducted validation and prediction of immune-related prognostic gene signatures in GC patients using TCGA and GEO data. Based on these prognostic gene signatures, we predicted the immune infiltration status of GC patients by grouping the patient samples into high or low-risk groups. RESULTS Based on 10 tumor samples and corresponding normal samples from GC patients, we selected 18,416 cells for subsequent analysis using single-cell sequencing. From these, we identified 3,284 T-cells and obtained 641 differentially expressed genes related to T-cells from 5 different T-cell subtypes. By integrating bulk RNA sequencing data, we identified prognostic signatures associated with T-cells. Stratifying patients based on these prognostic signatures into high-risk or low-risk groups allowed us to effectively predict their survival rates and the immunoinfiltration status of the tumor microenvironment. CONCLUSION This study explored prognostic gene signatures associated with T-cells in GC patients, providing insights into predicting patients' survival rates and immunoinfiltration levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly worldwide, leading to a pandemic. In China, Xiyanping injection (XYP) has been recommended as a drug for COVID-19 treatment in the Guideline on Diagnosis and Treatment of COVID-19 by the National Health Commission of the People Republic of China and National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Trial eighth Edition). However, the relevant mechanisms at the molecular-level need to be further elucidated. METHODS In this study, XYP related active ingredients, potential targets and COVID-19 related genes were searched in public databases. Protein-protein interaction network and module analyzes were used to screen for key targets. gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes were performed to investigate the potentially relevant signaling pathways. Molecular docking was performed using Autodock Tools and Vina. For the validation of potential mechanism, PolyI:C was used to induce human lung epithelial cells for an inflammation model. Subsequently, CCK-8 assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot were employed to determine the effect of XYP on the expression of key genes. RESULTS Seven effective active ingredients in XYP were searched for 123 targets in the relevant databases. Furthermore, 6446 COVID-19 disease targets were identified. Sodium 9-dehydro-17-hydro-andrographolide-19-yl sulfate was identified as the vital active compounds, and IL-6, TNF, IL-1β, CXCL8, STAT3, MAPK1, MAPK14, and MAPK8 were considered as the key targets. In addition, molecular docking revealed that the active compound and the targets showed good binding affinities. The enrichment analysis predicted that the XYP could regulate the IL-17, Toll-like receptor, PI3K-Akt and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Consistently, further in vitro experiments demonstrated that XYP could slow down the cytokine storm in the lung tissue of COVID-19 patients by down-regulating IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, CXCL8, and p-STAT3. CONCLUSION Through effective network pharmacology analysis and molecular docking, this study suggests that XYP contains many effective compounds that may target COVID-19 related signaling pathways. Moreover, the in vitro experiment confirmed that XYP could inhibit the cytokine storm by regulating genes or proteins related to immune and inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Siraitia grosvenorii seeds are rich in abundant active compounds beneficial to human health. To clarify the digestion characteristics of Siraitia grosvenorii seed flour (SSF) and promote the use of SSF in the processing of functional staple foods, SSF was prepared, its composition and physicochemical properties were studied, and the processing characteristics of SSF-wheat flour were systematically investigated. The results showed that the torque curve and other parameters of the dough were significantly affected by the amount of SSF added. With the increase of SSF proportion, the water absorption showed an increasing trend, while the degree of protein weakening first weakened and then enhanced. At 20% SSF, the dough was more resistant to kneading. In response to an increase in SSF, the L* value decreased significantly, and the a* and b* values increased gradually, while the specific volume decreased gradually. Additionally, the hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness of the bread enhanced gradually, while its elasticity, cohesiveness, and resilience decreased gradually. After the addition of 30% SSF, the inner tissue of steamed bread was more delicate. With an increase in SSF proportion, the predicted glycemic index (pGI) of steamed bread weakened markedly. Overall, these results showed that SSF, as a kind of food ingredient with hypoglycemic activity, can be used in the production of new functional steamed bread products. This study provides basic research data for the development of products containing S. grosvenorii seed.

Abstract
Non-infectious uveitis (NIU) is a challenging type of intraocular inflammatory disease that tends to recur and can be resistant to treatment. It can cause both transient and permanent pathological changes in the retina and choroid. Accurate diagnosis and monitoring of these changes rely heavily on ophthalmic imaging methods. In recent years, the enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT), swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) have emerged as rapidly evolving ophthalmic imaging techniques that offer significant advantages in evaluating choroidal thickness, displaying the whole choroid, and monitoring choroidal blood flow. This review provides an overview of the current research status of EDI-OCT, SS-OCT, and SS-OCTA in evaluating intraocular inflammation and other choroid-related complications in noninfectious intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, and panuveitis, and also highlights their future prospects.

Abstract
The high molecular weight and poor solubility of seaweed polysaccharides have limited their function and application. In this study, ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2) treatment was used to prepare low-molecular-weight seaweed polysaccharides from Sargassum fusiforme. The effects of UV/H2O2 treatment on the physicochemical properties and anti-photoaging activity of S. fusiforme polysaccharides were studied. UV/H2O2 treatment effectively degraded polysaccharides from S. fusiforme (DSFPs), reducing their molecular weight from 271 kDa to 26 kDa after 2 h treatment. The treatment did not affect the functional groups in DSFPs but changed their molar percentage of monosaccharide composition and morphology. The effects of the treatment on the anti-photoaging function of S. fusiforme polysaccharides were investigated using human epidermal HaCaT cells in vitro. DFSPs significantly improved the cell viability and hydroxyproline secretion of UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. In particular, DSFP-45 obtained from UV/H2O2 treatment for 45 min showed the best anti-photoaging effect. Moreover, DSFP-45 significantly increased the content and expression of collagen I and decreased those of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Thus, UV/H2O2 treatment could effectively improve the anti-photoaging activity of S. fusiforme polysaccharides. These results provide some insights for developing novel and efficient anti-photoaging drugs or functional foods from seaweed polysaccharides.
