Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite continuous changes in treatment methods, the survival rate for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients remains low, highlighting the importance of diagnostic methods for HCC. AIM To explore the efficacy of texture analysis based on multi-parametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) in predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) in preoperative HCC. METHODS This study included 105 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC, categorized into MVI-positive and MVI-negative groups. We employed Original Data Analysis, Principal Component Analysis, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Non-LDA (NDA) for texture analysis using multi-parametric MR images to predict preoperative MVI. The effectiveness of texture analysis was determined using the B11 program of the MaZda4.6 software, with results expressed as the misjudgment rate (MCR). RESULTS Texture analysis using multi-parametric MRI, particularly the MI + PA + F dimensionality reduction method combined with NDA discrimination, demonstrated the most effective prediction of MVI in HCC. Prediction accuracy in the pulse and equilibrium phases was 83.81%. MCRs for the combination of T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), arterial phase, portal venous phase, and equilibrium phase were 22.86%, 16.19%, 20.95%, and 20.95%, respectively. The area under the curve for predicting MVI positivity was 0.844, with a sensitivity of 77.19% and specificity of 91.67%. CONCLUSION Texture analysis of arterial phase images demonstrated superior predictive efficacy for MVI in HCC compared to T2WI, portal venous, and equilibrium phases. This study provides an objective, non-invasive method for preoperative prediction of MVI, offering a theoretical foundation for the selection of clinical therapy.

Abstract
Rigid three-dimensional (3D) polycyclic propellanes have garnered interest due to their unique conformational spaces, which display great potential use in selectivity, separation and as models to study through-space electronic interactions. Herein we report the synthesis of a novel rigid propellane, trinaphtho[3.3.3]propellane triimide, which comprises three imide groups embedded on a trinaphtho[3.3.3]propellane. This propellane triimide exhibits large bathochromic shift, amplified molar absorptivity, enhanced fluorescence, and lower reduction potential when compared to the subunits. Computational and experimental studies reveal that the effective through-space π-orbitals interacting (homoconjugation) occurs between the subunits. Single-crystal XRD analysis reveals that the propellane triimide has a highly quasi-D3h symmetric skeleton and readily crystallizes into different superstructures by changing alkyl chains at the imide positions. In particular, the porous 3D superstructure with S-shaped channels is promising for taking up ethane (C2H6) with very good selectivity over ethylene (C2H4), which can purify C2H4 from C2H6/C2H4 in a single separation step. This work showcases a new class of rare 3D polycyclic propellane with intriguing electronic and supramolecular properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND R-CHOP (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) is a standard first-line treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, 20%-40% of patients survive less than 5 years. Novel prognostic biomarkers remain in demand. METHODS Baseline plasma autoantibodies (AAbs) were assessed in 336 DLBCLs. In the discovery phase (n = 20), a high-density antigen microarray (∼21,000 proteins) was used to expound AAb profiles. In the verification phase (n = 181), with a DLBCL-focused microarray, comparative results based on event-free survival at 24 months (EFS24) and lasso Cox regression models of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were integrated to identify potential biomarkers. They were further validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in validation phase 1 (n = 135) and a dynamic cohort (n = 12). In validation phase 2, a two-AAb-based risk score was established. They were further validated in an immunohistochemistry cohort (n = 55) and four independent Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (n = 1598). RESULTS Four AAbs (CREB1, N4BP1, UBAP2, and DEAF1) were identified that showed associations with EFS24 status (p < .05) and superior PFS and OS (p < .05). A novel risk score model based on CREB1 and N4BP1 AAbs was developed to predict PFS with areas under the curve of 0.72, 0.71, 0.76, and 0.82 at 1, 3, 5, and 7 years, respectively, in DLBCL treated with R-CHOP independent of the International Prognostic Index (IPI) and provided significant additional recurrence risk discrimination (p < .05) for the IPI. CREB1 and N4BP1 proteins and messenger RNAs were also associated with better PFS and OS (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS This study identified a novel prognostic panel of CREB1, N4BP1, DEAF1, and UBAP2 AAbs that is independent of the IPI in DLBCL.

Abstract
Nanoalbumin-paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is a standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer but has shown limited efficacy. However, the mechanism through which circulating nab-paclitaxel passes through the tumour vascular endothelium has not been determined. In our study, a new nonradioactive and highly sensitive method for analysing nab-paclitaxel transcytosis was established. Based on these methods, we found that hypoxia significantly enhanced the autophagic degradation of CAV1 and therefore attenuated caveolae-mediated nab-paclitaxel transcytosis across endothelial cells (ECs). In a proof-of-concept experiment, higher levels of CAV1, accompanied by lower levels of LC3B, were observed in the vascular endothelium of pancreatic cancer tissues collected from patients who showed a good response to nab-paclitaxel compared with those from patients who showed a poor response to nab-paclitaxel. Furthermore, both in vivo and in vitro studies confirmed that suppressing the autophagic degradation of CAV1 via EC-specific ATG5 knockdown or hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) treatment significantly enhanced nab-paclitaxel translocation across the endothelial barrier into pancreatic cancer cells and amplified the inhibitory effect of nab-paclitaxel on pancreatic tumour growth. The stimulation of CAV1 expression by EC-specific overexpression of exogenous CAV1 or administration of gemcitabine hydrochloride (GE) had the same effect. These results demonstrated that suppressing CAV1 autophagic degradation is a novel translatable strategy for enhancing nab-paclitaxel chemotherapeutic activity in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Intrinsically safe sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage systems. However, the high flammability of conventional electrolytes may pose serious safety threats and even explosions. Herein, we propose a strategy of constructing a deep eutectic electrolyte (DEE) to boost the safety and electrochemical performance of succinonitrile (SN)-based electrolyte. The strong hydrogen bond between S = O of 1,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide (DTD) and the α-H of SN endows the enhanced safety and compatibility of SN with Lewis bases. Meanwhile, the DTD participates in the inner Na+ sheath and weakens the coordination number of SN. The unique solvation configuration promotes the formation of robust gradient inorganic-rich electrode-electrolyte interphase, and merits stable cycling of half cells in a wide temperature range, with a capacity retention of 82.8% after 800 cycles (25 °C) and 86.3% after 100 cycles (60 °C). Correspondingly, the full cells deliver tremendous improvement in cycling stability and rate performance. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The identification of survival predictors is crucial for early intervention to improve outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study aim to identify chest computed tomography (CT)-derived features to predict prognosis for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS 952 patients with pathologically-confirmed AML were retrospectively enrolled between 2010 and 2020. CT-derived features (including body composition and subcutaneous fat features), were obtained from the initial chest CT images and were used to build models to predict the prognosis. A CT-derived MSF nomogram was constructed using multivariate Cox regression incorporating CT-based features. The performance of the prediction models was assessed with discrimination, calibration, decision curves and improvements. RESULTS Three CT-derived features, including myosarcopenia, spleen_CTV, and SF_CTV (MSF) were identified as the independent predictors for prognosis in AML (P < 0.01). A CT-MSF nomogram showed a performance with AUCs of 0.717, 0.794, 0.796 and 0.792 for predicting the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) probabilities in the validation cohort, which were significantly higher than the ELN risk model. Moreover, a new MSN stratification system (MSF nomogram plus ELN risk model) could stratify patients into new high, intermediate and low risk group. Patients with high MSN risk may benefit from intensive treatment (P = 0.0011). CONCLUSIONS In summary, the chest CT-MSF nomogram, integrating myosarcopenia, spleen_CTV, and SF_CTV features, could be used to predict prognosis of AML.

METHODS A general statistical description of the population included in the study was performed, and logistic analyses were used to explore the association between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), RFM and depression. Sensitivity analyses and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were also conducted to investigate the association between RFM and depression. RESULTS A total of 28,836 participants were included in the study. In multivariate models, all obesity indices were associated with depression (P < 0.001). An increase of 1 SD in BMI, WC, and RFM was associated with a respective increased risk of depression of 2.3 %, 1.0 %, and 3.3 %. Excluding those taking antidepressants, the risk of depression was OR 1.88 (95 % CI: 1.26-2.79) for those with RFM in the highest quartile compared with those in the lowest quartile. After Inverse probability of weighting (IPW), the risk of depression in individuals with RFM in the highest quartile compared with individuals in the lowest quartile was 2.62 (95 % CI: 2.21-3.09). The RCS showed a possible nonlinear relationship between RFM and depression. CONCLUSIONS RFM is associated with depression, suggesting that attention to RFM may be helpful for depression research.

Abstract
Infantile esotropia is a common ophthalmic disease in children. A lot of clinical and basic research evidence suggests that early surgery enhances sensory and ocular motor development. However, the proper timing of surgery has been debated for decades. In addition, there is more likely instability of deviation in the preoperative evaluation of infants, and even if the patient achieved alignment after surgery, the defects in binocular vision may accompany for a lifetime. This article analyzes the difficulties and key points of early intervention for infantile esotropia, aiming to provide scientific ideas for the early treatment of children with infantile esotropia in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, especially those targeting programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1)/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1), is increasingly recognized as a highly promising therapeutic modality for malignancies. Nevertheless, the efficiency of immune checkpoint blockade therapy in treating glioblastoma (GBM) is constrained. Hence, it is imperative to expand our comprehension of the molecular mechanisms behind GBM immune escape (IE). METHODS Protein chip analysis was performed to screen aberrantly expressed OMA1 protein in PD-1 inhibitor sensitive or resistant GBM. Herein, public databases and bioinformatics analysis were employed to investigate the OMA1 and PD-L1 relation. Then, this predicted relation was verified in primary GBM cell lines through distinct experimental methods. To investigate the molecular mechanism behind OMA1 in immunosuppression, a series of experimental methods were employed, including Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), mass spectrometry (MS), immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and qRT-PCR. RESULTS Our findings revealed that OMA1 competitively binds to HSPA9 to induce mitophagy and mediates the IE of GBM. Data from TCGA indicated a significant correlation between OMA1 and immunosuppression. OMA1 promoted PD-L1 levels in primary cells from patients with GBM. Next, the results of Co-IP and MS conducted on GBM primary cells revealed that OMA1 interacts with HSPA9 and induces mitophagy. OMA1 promoted not only cGAS-STING activity by increasing mitochondrial DNA release but also PD-L1 transcription by activating cGAS-STING. Eventually, OMA1 has been found to induce immune evasion in GBM through its regulation of PD-1 binding and PD-L1 mediated T cell cytotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS The OMA1/HSPA9/cGAS/PD-L1 axis is elucidated in our study as a newly identified immune therapeutic target in GBM.

Abstract
In nuclear radiation detection, some measured radiation counts are lost due to dead time. Estimation of dead time is necessary to restore the counting information in quantitative analysis. This study aims to propose a method for estimating dead time at high counting rate. First of all, a measurement system of pulse interval distribution was used to estimate the true input counting rate of the detection system and implemented in FPGA. Then, a digital pole-zero cancellation technique was introduced in the measurement system to decrease the decay time constant of pulse. This was aimed at mitigating the impact of pile-up on the pulse interval distribution spectrum, especially at high counting rate. The feasibility of this measurement system at high counting rate was verified by the experimental platform of EDXRF. The dead time was calculated using the measured counting rate and the estimated true input counting rate. The accuracy of the dead time relies on the precision of the estimated true count rate. When the counting rate reaches 600 kCPS, the relative error between the theoretical counting rate and the estimated true input counting rate is less than 5%.

Abstract
In this study, the electrical performance and bias stability of InSnO/a-InGaZnO (ITO/a-IGZO) heterojunction thin-film transistors (TFTs) are investigated. Compared to a-IGZO TFTs, the mobility (µFE) and bias stability of ITO/a-IGZO heterojunction TFTs are enhanced. The band alignment of the ITO/a-IGZO heterojunction is analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A conduction band offset (∆EC) of 0.5 eV is observed in the ITO/a-IGZO heterojunction, resulting in electron accumulation in the formed potential well. Meanwhile, the ∆EC of the ITO/a-IGZO heterojunction can be modulated by nitrogen doping ITO (ITON), which can affect the carrier confinement and transport properties at the ITO/a-IGZO heterojunction interface. Moreover, the carrier concentration distribution at the ITO/a-IGZO heterointerface is extracted by means of TCAD silvaco 2018 simulation, which is beneficial for enhancing the electrical performance of ITO/a-IGZO heterojunction TFTs.

Abstract
College-aged readers use efficient strategies to segment and recognize words in naturally unspaced Chinese text. Whether this capability changes across the adult lifespan is unknown, although segmenting words in unspaced text may be challenging for older readers due to visual and cognitive declines in older age, including poorer parafoveal processing of upcoming characters. Accordingly, we conducted two eye movement experiments to test for age differences in word segmentation, each with 48 young (18-30 years) and 36 older (65+ years) native Chinese readers. Following Zhou and Li (2021), we focused on the processing of "incremental" three-character words, like (meaning "kindergartens"), which contain an embedded two-character word (e.g., , meaning "children"). In Experiment 1, either the three-character word or its embedded word was presented as the target word in sentence contexts where the three-character word always was plausible, and the embedded word was either plausible or implausible. Both age groups produced similar plausibility effects, suggesting age constancy in accessing the embedded word early during ambiguity processing before ultimately assigning an incremental word analysis. Experiment 2 provided further evidence that both younger and older readers access the embedded word early during ambiguity processing, but rapidly select the appropriate (incremental) word. Crucially, the findings suggest that word segmentation strategies do not differ with age. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Abstract
This study is aimed at investigating the effects of dietary supplementation with Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharides (AOCP) on lactation performance, antioxidant status, and immune status of lactating donkeys and analyzing rectal microbiomes and serum metabolomes. Fourteen lactating Dezhou donkeys with similar age (6.16 ± 0.67 years of BW ± SD), weight (250.06 ± 25.18 kg), days in milk (39.11 ± 7.42 d), and averaged parity of 3 were randomly allocated into 2 treatments: a control group (CON, basal diet) and an AOCP group (AOCP, basal diet with 1.0 g/kg DM AOCP). Ten weeks were allotted for the experiment, 2 weeks for adaptation, and 8 weeks for collecting data and samples. The results showed that supplementation of donkey diets with AOCP increased lactation performance, including dry matter intake, milking yield, estimated milk yield, solids-corrected milk, energy-corrected milk, milk fat yield, milk protein yield, milk lactose yield, milk total solids yield, and milk solid not fat yield. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fiber, and neutral detergent fiber was increased in the AOCP group compared with the CON group. The AOCP group increased the concentrations of immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M, the activities of the superoxide dismutase, catalase and total antioxidant capacity in the serum. AOCP decreased the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde in the serum. Compared with the CON group, AOCP increased propionate, butyrate, isovalerate, and total VFA concentrations in rectal feces (P < 0.05). The addition of AOCP to increased diversity (Shannon index) and altered structure of the rectal microflora. As a result of AOCP supplementation, there has been a significant improvement in the colonization of beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus, Unclassified_f_Prevotellacea, Ruminococcus, and Fibrobacter genera. In contrast, a decrease in the colonization of the Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 bacterial genus and other pathogenic bacteria was observed. Meanwhile, metabolomics analysis found that AOCP supplementation upregulated metabolites L-tyrosine content while downregulating 9(S)-HODE, choline, sucrose, LysoPC (18:0), LysoPC (18:1(9Z), and LysoPC (20:2(11Z,14Z)) concentrations. These altered metabolites were involved in the PPAR signaling pathway, prolactin signaling pathway, glycerophospholipid metabolism, carbohydrate digestion and absorption, and tyrosine metabolism pathways, which were mainly related to antioxidant capacity, immune responses, and protein metabolism in the lactating donkeys. As a consequence of feeding AOCP diets, beneficial bacteria were abundant, and antioxidant and protein metabolism-related pathways were enriched, which may enhance lactation performance in donkeys. Therefore, supplementing AOCP diets is a desirable dietary strategy to improve donkey health and lactation performance.

Abstract
Various genetic variants have been found to be associated with the clinical onset of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). However, when measured in vitro, the functional influence of the variants can be difficult to determine. By whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 93 patients with sporadic POI, we found a missense variant c.623G > A;p.R208H in the EIF4ENIF1 gene. In silico prediction of the variant using different algorithms suggested it might be a damaging variant. We compared the property of EIF4ENIF1 R208H and Q842P, a POI-related mutant that we reported previously, with wildtype (WT) protein using 293FT cells in vitro. Surprisingly, a change in subcellular distribution and granule forming ability (Q842P) and nuclear import capacity (R208H) was not observed, despite domain prediction evidences. Since EIF4ENIF1 was reported to inhibit translation, we employed T&T-seq, a translation-transcription dual-omics sequencing method, to profile gene expression upon overexpression of EIF4ENIF1 WT and mutants. EIF4ENIF1 WT overexpression group exhibited significantly (P < 0.0001) lower translation efficiency (TE) than empty vector or GFP overexpression control group. Surprisingly, EIF4ENIF1 Q842P overexpression failed to repress global translation, showing an overall TE significantly higher than WT group. Overexpression R208H significantly (P < 0.0001) lowered the overall TE, whereas exhibiting a reduced translation inhibitory effect on high-TE genes (TE > 2 in GFP control group). Several fertility-associated genes, such as AMH in Q842P group and SERPINE1 and THBS1 in R208H group, was translationally up-regulated in mutant groups versus WT control, suggesting a potential mechanism of mutated EIF4ENIF1 causing POI via impaired translation repression. It is further proposed that T&T-seq can be a sensitive evaluation tool for the measurement of functional alteration by variants in many other translational regulator genes, not only EIF4ENIF1, helping to eliminate misinterpretation of clinical significance of genetic variants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the growing evidence pointing to the detrimental effects of air pollution on diabetes mellitus (DM), the relationship remains poorly explored, especially in desert-adjacent areas characterized by high aridity and pollution. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study with health examination data from over 2.9 million adults in two regions situated in the southern part of the Taklamakan Desert, China. We assessed three-year average concentrations (2018-2020) of particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) through a space-time extra-trees model. After adjusting for various covariates, we employed generalized linear mixed models to evaluate the association between exposure to air pollutants and DM. RESULTS The odds ratios for DM associated with a 10 µg/m3 increase in PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO, and NO2 were 1.898 (95% CI: 1.741, 2.070), 1.07 (95% CI: 1.053, 1.086), 1.013 (95% CI: 1.008, 1.018), 1.009 (95% CI: 1.007, 1.011), and 1.337 (95% CI: 1.234, 1.449), respectively. Notably, men, individuals aged ≥50 years, those with lower educational attainment, nonsmokers, and those not engaging in physical exercise displayed more susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution. Multiple sensitivity analyses confirmed the stability of these findings. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides robust evidence of a correlation between prolonged exposure to air pollution and the prevalence of DM among individuals living in the desert-adjacent areas. This research contributes to the expanding knowledge on the relationship between air pollution exposure and DM prevalence in desert-adjacent areas.

Abstract
Csn5 is subunit 5 of the COP9 signalosome (CSN), but the mechanism by which it strictly controls the pathogenicity of pathogenic fungi through autophagy remains unclear. Here, we found that Csn5 deficiency attenuated pathogenicity and enhanced autophagy in Magnaporthe oryzae. MoCSN5 knockout led to overubiquitination and overdegradation of MoTor (the core protein of the TORC1 complex [target of rapamycin]) thereby promoted autophagy. In addition, we identified MoCsn5 as a new interactor of MoAtg6. Atg6 was found to be ubiquitinated through linkage with lysine 48 (K48) in cells, which is necessary for infection-associated autophagy in pathogenic fungi. K48-ubiquitination of Atg6 enhanced its degradation and thereby inhibited autophagic activity. Our experimental results indicated that MoCsn5 promoted K48-ubiquitination of MoAtg6, which reduced the MoAtg6 protein content and thus inhibited autophagy. Aberrant ubiquitination and autophagy in ΔMocsn5 led to pleiotropic defects in the growth, development, stress resistance, and pathogenicity of M. oryzae. In summary, our study revealed a novel mechanism by which Csn5 regulates autophagy and pathogenicity in rice blast fungus through ubiquitination.

Abstract
For the development of an idyllic rural landscape, an accurate survey of rural buildings is essential. The extraction of rural structures from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing imagery is prone to errors such as misclassifications, omissions, and subpar edge detailing. This study introduces a multi-scale fusion and detail enhancement network for rural building extraction, termed the Multi-Attention-Detail U-shaped Network (MAD-UNet). Initially, an atrous convolutional pyramid pooling module is integrated between the encoder and decoder to enhance the main network's ability to identify buildings of varying sizes, thereby reducing omissions. Additionally, a Multi-scale Feature Fusion Module (MFFM) is constructed within the decoder, utilizing superficial detail features to refine the layered detail information, which improves the extraction of small-sized structures and their edges. A coordination attention mechanism and deep supervision modules are simultaneously incorporated to minimize misclassifications. MAD-UNet has been tested on a private UAV building dataset and the publicly available Wuhan University (WHU) Building Dataset and benchmarked against models such as U-Net, PSPNet, DeepLabV3+, HRNet, ISANet, and AGSCNet, achieving Intersection over Union (IoU) scores of 77.43% and 91.02%, respectively. The results demonstrate its effectiveness in extracting rural buildings from UAV remote sensing images across different regions.

Abstract
Oral drug delivery is typically preferred as a therapeutic intervention due to the complexities and expenses associated with intravenous administration. However, some drugs are poorly absorbed orally, requiring intravenous administration to bypass the gastrointestinal tract and deliver the drug directly into the bloodstream. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel drug delivery platforms to overcome the challenges of oral drug delivery with low solubility, low permeability, oral degradation, and low bioavailability. Advances in extracellular vesicles (EVs) as natural carriers have provided emerging approaches to improve potential therapeutic applications. Milk not only contains traditional nutrients but is also rich in EVs. In this Review, we focus mainly on the purification of milk EVs (mEVs), their safety, and the advantages of mEV-based drug carriers in combatting intestinal infections. Additionally, we summarize several advantages of mEVs over conventional synthetic carriers, such as low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and the ability to transfer bioactive molecules between cells. Considering the unmet gaps of mEVs in clinical translation, it is essential to review the cargo loading into mEVs and future perspectives for their use as natural drug carriers for oral delivery. This overview of mEV-based drug carriers for oral delivery sheds light on alternative approaches to treat clinical infections associated with intestinal pathogens and the development of novel oral delivery systems.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs), renowned for their outstanding optoelectronic properties, hold significant promise as photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the low stability and insufficient exposure of catalytically active sites of bulky MHPs seriously impair their catalytic efficiency. Herein, we utilized an extra-large-pore zeolite ZEO-1 (JZO) as a host to confine and stabilize the CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (3.4 nm) for boosting hydrogen iodide (HI) splitting. The as-prepared CsPbBr3@ZEO-1 featured sufficiently exposed active sites, superior stability in acidic media, along with intrinsic extra-large pores of ZEO-1 that were favorable for molecule/ion adsorption and diffusion. Most importantly, the unique nanoconfinement effect of ZEO-1 led to the narrowing of the band gap of CsPbBr3, allowing for more efficient light utilization. As a result, the photocatalytic HER rate of the as-prepared CsPbBr3@ZEO-1 photocatalyst was increased to 1734 μmol ⋅ h-1 ⋅ g-1 (CsPbBr3) under visible light irradiation compared with bulk CsPbBr3 (11 μmol ⋅ h-1 ⋅ g-1 (CsPbBr3)), and the long-term durability (36 h) can be achieved. Furthermore, Pt was incorporated with well-dispersed CsPbBr3 nanocrystals into ZEO-1, resulting in a significant enhancement in activity (4826 μmol ⋅ h-1 ⋅ g-1 (CsPbBr3)), surpassing most of the Pt-integrated perovskite-based photocatalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and charge-carrier dynamics investigation revealed that the dramatically boosted photocatalytic performance of Pt/CsPbBr3@ZEO-1 could be attributed to the promotion of charge separation and transfer, as well as to the substantially lowered energy barrier for HER. This work highlights the advantage of extra-large-pore zeolites as the nanoscale platform to accommodate multiple photoactive components, opening up promising prospects in the design and exploitation of novel zeolite-confined photocatalysts for energy harvesting and storage.

Abstract
Colorectum cancer has become one of the most fatal cancer diseases, in which NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) plays a role in intracellular free radical reduction and detoxification and has been linked to colorectum cancer and chemotherapy resistance. Therefore, rational design of optical probe for NQO1 detection is urgent for the early diagnosis of colorectum cancer. Herein, we have developed a novel two-photon fluorescent probe, WHFD, which is capable of selectively detecting of intracellular NQO1 with two-photon (TP) absorption (800 nm) and near-infrared emission (620 nm). Combination with a substantial Stokes shift (175 nm) and biocompatibility, we have assessed its suitability for in vivo imaging of endogenous NQO1 activities from HepG2 tumor-bearing live animals with high tissue penetration up to 300 μm. Particularly, we for the first time used the probe to image NQO1 activities from human colorectum cancer samples by using TP microscopy, and proving our probe possesses reliable diagnostic performance to directly in situ imaging of cancer biomarker and can clearly distinguish the boundary between human colorectum cancer tissue and their surrounding normal tissue, which shows great potential for the intraoperative navigation.

Abstract
Leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) is a type of hermaphrodite fish, but the mechanisms of gonadal development and gametogenesis remain unclear. In the present study, we performed histological observation and transcriptomic analysis during the process of sexual differentiation in P. leopardus. According to the histological results, sexual differentiation was completed at 15 months old, developed synchronously in male and female individuals at 2 years old, and matured synchronously at 3 years old. Comparative transcriptomic analyses showed that the gonadal had differentiated by 15 months old, with enrichment of pathways associated with cell proliferation, transcriptional metabolism, and germline stem cell differentiation. Furthermore, cilium movement and fatty acid anabolism, which are associated with spermatogenesis and oocyte growth, were significantly enriched at 3 years old. In addition, key genes associated with male and female sex differentiation, such as amh, dmrt1, dmrt2a, zp4, sox3, gdf9, and gsdf, were identified by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Finally, the localization and expression of the key genes amh and sox3 were observed in different cell types within the testes and ovaries, reflecting the development of the testes and ovaries, respectively. All the evidence indicates that P. leopardus is a hermaphrodite and synchronously sexually mature fish. Our study complements the gonadal development patterns of hermaphroditic fish by providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying sexual differentiation and sex change in hermaphroditic groupers.

Abstract
Objective Probiotics are beneficial to the intestinal barrier, but few studies have investigated probiotics from giant pandas. This study aims to explore the preventive effects of giant panda-derived Clostridium butyricum on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Methods Clostridium butyricum was administered to mice 14 days before administering DSS treatment to induce enteritis. Results Clostridium butyricum B14 could more effectively prevent colitis in mice than C. butyricum B13. C. butyricum B14 protected the mouse colon by decreasing the histology index and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels, which improved intestinal inflammation-related symptoms. In addition, the treatment led to the regulation of the expression of Tifa, Igkv12-89, and Nr1d1, which in turn inhibited immune pathways. The expression of Muc4, Lama3, Cldn4, Cldn3, Ocln, Zo1, Zo2, and Snai is related the intestinal mucosal barrier. 16S sequencing shows that the C. butyricum B14 significantly increased the abundance of certain intestinal probiotics. Overall, C. butyricum B14 exerted a preventive effect on colitis in mice by inhibiting immune responses, enhancing the intestinal barrier and increasing the abundance of probiotic species. Thus, C. butyricum B14 administration helps regulate the balance of the intestinal microecology. It can suppress immune pathways and enhance barrier-protective proteins.

Abstract
Temperature homeostasis is critical for cells to perform their physiological functions. Among the diverse methods for temperature detection, fluorescent temperature probes stand out as a proven and effective tool, especially for monitoring temperature in cells and suborganelles, with a specific emphasis on mitochondria. The utilization of these probes provides a new opportunity to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms and interconnections underlying various physiological activities related to temperature homeostasis. However, the complexity and variability of cells and suborganelles necessitate fluorescent temperature probes with high resolution and sensitivity. To meet the demanding requirements for intracellular/subcellular temperature detection, several strategies have been developed, offering a range of options to address this challenge. This review examines four fundamental temperature-response strategies employed by small molecule and polymer probes, including intramolecular rotation, polarity sensitivity, Förster resonance energy transfer, and structural changes. The primary emphasis was placed on elucidating molecular design and biological applications specific to each type of probe. Furthermore, this review provides an insightful discussion on factors that may affect fluorescent thermometry, providing valuable perspectives for future development in the field. Finally, the review concludes by presenting cutting-edge response strategies and research insights for mitigating biases in temperature sensing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The relationship between chronic daily headache (CDH), depression symptoms, and brain volume remains unclear. METHODS To investigate the effects of CDH on brain volume and the impact of depressive symptoms (DSs) as well as the effects of demography and medication overuse, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched using appropriate keyword strings to retrieve observational studies from inception to May 2023. RESULTS Two distinct comparisons were made in CDH patients: (1) those with DSs versus their pain-free counterparts and (2) those without DSs versus pain-free controls. The first comprised nine studies enrolling 225 CDH patients with DSs and 234 controls. Beck depression inventory, Hamilton depression scale, and Hospital anxiety/depression scale were used to assess DSs, revealing significantly more DSs in CDH patients with DSs compared to their controls (all p < 0.05). Besides, the second analysed four studies involving 117 CDH patients without DSs and 155 comparators. Compared to CDH patients without DSs, those with DSs had a smaller brain volume than controls (p = 0.03). Furthermore, CDH patients with DSs who did not overuse medications showed a smaller right cerebral cortical volume than overusers (p = 0.003). A significant inverse correlation between female prevalence and brain volume (p = 0.02) was revealed using regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS Pain-induced persistent depressive symptoms not only incur structural alterations but also encompass affective-motivational changes, involving medication use and gender-specific health concerns. SIGNIFICANCE This study highlighted the importance of an integrated CDH treatment, emphasizing psychological interventions for the affective-motivational component alongside pain management.

Abstract
Essential oils are potential alternatives to antibiotics for preventing Candida albicans (C. albicans) infection which is responsible for economic losses in the pigeon industry. Cymbopogon martini essential oil (EO) can inhibit pathogens, particularly fungal pathogens but its potential beneficial effects on C. albicans-infected pigeons remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the impact of C. martini EO on antioxidant activity, immune response, intestinal barrier function, and intestinal microbiota in C. albicans-infected pigeons. The pigeons were divided into four groups as follows: (1) NC group: C. albicans uninfected/C. martini EO untreated group; (2) PC group: C. albicans infected/C. martini EO untreated group; (3) LPA group: C. albicans infected/1% C. martini EO treated group; and (4) HPA group: C. albicans infected/2% C. martini EO treated group. The pigeons were infected with C. albicans from day of age 35 to 41 and treated with C. martini EO from day of age 42 to 44, with samples collected on day of age 45 for analysis. The results demonstrated that C. martini EO prevented the reduction in the antioxidant enzymes SOD and GSH-Px causes by C. albicans challenge in pigeons. Furthermore, C. martini EO could decrease the relative expression of IL-1β, TGF-β, and IL-8 in the ileum, as well as IL-1β and IL-8 in the crop, while increasing the relative expression of Claudin-1 in the ileum and the crop and Occludin in the ileum in infected pigeons. Although the gut microbiota composition was not significantly affected by C. martini EO, 2% C. martini EO increased the abundance of Alistipes and Pedobacter. In conclusion, the application of 2% C. martini EO not only enhanced the level of antioxidant activity and the expression of genes related to intestinal barrier function but also inhibited inflammatory genes in C. albicans-infected pigeons and increased the abundance of gut bacteria that are resistant to C. albicans.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) based on the multielectron reactions between V2+ and V5+ has been considered a promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, it still suffers from unsatisfactory stability, caused by the poor reversibility of the V5+/V4+ redox couple and structure evolution. Herein, we propos a strategy that combines high-entropy substitution and electrolyte optimization to boost the reversible multielectron reactions of NVP. The high reversibility of the V5+/V4+ redox couple and crystalline structure evolution are disclosed by in situ X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra and in situ X-ray diffraction. Meanwhile, the electrochemical reaction kinetics of high-entropy substitution NVP (HE-NVP) can be further improved in the diglyme-based electrolyte. These enable HE-NVP to deliver a superior electrochemical performance (capacity retention of 93.1% after 2000 cycles; a large reversible capacity of 120 mAh g-1 even at 5.0 A g-1). Besides, the long cycle life and high power density of the HE-NVP∥natural graphite full-cell configuration demonstrated the superiority of HE-NVP cathode in SIBs. This work highlights that the synergism of high-entropy substitution and electrolyte optimization is a powerful strategy to enhance the sodium-storage performance of polyanionic cathodes for SIBs.

Abstract
Existing artificial periostea face many challenges, including difficult-to-replicate anisotropy in mechanics and structure, poor tissue adhesion, and neglected synergistic angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Here, inspired by natural wood (NW), a wood-derived elastic artificial periosteum is developed to mimic the structure and functions of natural periosteum, which combines an elastic wood (EW) skeleton, a polydopamine (PDA) binder layer, and layer-by-layer (LBL) biofunctional layers. Specifically, EW derived from NW is utilized as the anisotropic skeleton of artificial periosteum to guide cell directional behaviors, moreover, it also shows a similar elastic modulus and flexibility to natural periosteum. To further enhance its synergistic angiogenesis and osteogenesis, surface LBL biofunctional layers are designed to serve as spatiotemporal release platforms to achieve sequential and long-term release of pamidronate disodium (PDS) and deferoxamine (DFO), which are pre-encapsulated in chitosan (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA) solutions, respectively. Furthermore, the combined effect of PDA coating and LBL biofunctional layers enables the periosteum to tightly adhere to damaged bone tissue. More importantly, this novel artificial periosteum can boost angiogenesis and bone formation in vitro and in vivo. This study opens up a new path for biomimetic design of artificial periosteum, and provides a feasible clinical strategy for bone repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare disorder but can be cured once the diagnosis is clear and a complete removal by surgery is performed. To the best of our knowledge, only 22 cases in the spine have been described, and we report a case with the largest number of spinal segments (T12-L5) affected among spine PMT cases. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed until May 23, 2023, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines. Studies were chosen through relevant PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE searches to prioritize obtaining the largest studies. The Medical Subject Headings and Boolean operators employed for this search were ("PMT" or "TIO" or "Tumor-induced osteomalacia" or "phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor") and ("spine" or "spinal"). Two researchers (L.S.Z. and D.B.C) independently reviewed and evaluated the included articles. Any differing opinions were discussed until a consensus was reached. A total of 18 studies were included. A case report is also presented. RESULTS We report a case of spinal PMT. The full text of the relevant articles was construed. A total of 18 studies were reviewed and consolidated. These articles are roughly divided into the following 5 subcategories: 1) clinical features and baseline distribution, 2) laboratory and imaging findings, 3) pathological manifestations, and 4) surgical methods and treatment options. CONCLUSIONS Spinal PMT is very rare with a high rate of misdiagnosis and debilitating complications, so it is of significance to increase awareness of the disease among spine surgeons consulted by patients with spinal PMT. 68Ga-DOTATOC-PET/CT shows very high sensitivity to the spinal PMT but there is no way to exactly determine the location of the tumor. PMT has unique immunohistochemical characteristics and malignant PMT is rare. Once diagnosed, complete surgical excision is the recommended treatment. Burosumab is one of the available options, especially in cases that are recurrent and difficult to surgically resect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND White matter injury (WMI) is an important pathological process after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The correlation between white matter functions and the myeloid cells expressing triggering receptor-2 (TREM2) has been convincingly demonstrated. Moreover, a recent study revealed that microglial sterol metabolism is crucial for early remyelination after demyelinating diseases. However, the potential roles of TREM2 expression and microglial sterol metabolism in WMI after TBI have not yet been explored. METHODS Controlled cortical injury was induced in both wild-type (WT) and TREM2 depletion (TREM2 KO) mice to simulate clinical TBI. COG1410 was used to upregulate TREM2, while PLX5622 and GSK2033 were used to deplete microglia and inhibit the liver X receptor (LXR), respectively. Immunofluorescence, Luxol fast blue staining, magnetic resonance imaging, transmission electron microscopy, and oil red O staining were employed to assess WMI after TBI. Neurological behaviour tests and electrophysiological recordings were utilized to evaluate cognitive functions following TBI. Microglial cell sorting and transcriptomic sequencing were utilized to identify alterations in microglial sterol metabolism-related genes, while western blot was conducted to validate the findings. RESULTS TREM2 expressed highest at 3 days post-TBI and was predominantly localized to microglial cells within the white matter. Depletion of TREM2 worsened aberrant neurological behaviours, and this phenomenon was mediated by the exacerbation of WMI, reduced renewal of oligodendrocytes, and impaired phagocytosis ability of microglia after TBI. Subsequently, the upregulation of TREM2 alleviated WMI, promoted oligodendrocyte regeneration, and ultimately facilitated the recovery of neurological behaviours after TBI. Finally, the expression of DHCR24 increased in TREM2 KO mice after TBI. Interestingly, TREM2 inhibited DHCR24 and upregulated members of the LXR pathway. Moreover, LXR inhibition could partially reverse the effects of TREM2 upregulation on electrophysiological activities. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that TREM2 has the potential to alleviate WMI following TBI, possibly through the DHCR24/LXR pathway in microglia.

Abstract
AIM The relationship between fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) and carotid artery plaques (CAPs) was investigated in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A total of 11,624 patients with CHD were enrolled and divided into quartiles based on the FAR (Q1: FAR index ≤ 0.0663; Q2: 0.0664 ≤ FAR index ≤ 0.0790; Q3: 0.0791 ≤ FAR index ≤ 0.0944; Q4: FAR index > 0.0944). Patients were classified into three groups according to their blood glucose levels: normal glucose regulation (NGR), prediabetes mellitus (pre-DM), and diabetes mellitus (DM) groups. Carotid ultrasonography was performed to detect CAPs. The relationship between FAR and CAPs was evaluated using logistic and subgroup analyses. RESULTS Among 11,624 participants, 8738 (75.14%) had CAPs. Compared with Q1, the odds ratio (OR) of Q4 in patients with CHD was 2.00 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.71-2.34) after multivariate adjustment. Taking Q1 as a reference, a higher OR was observed in Q4 of FAR for CAPs in men [OR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.73-2.95] in the multi-adjusted models. Moreover, multivariate adjustment indicated that the highest OR was observed in patients with CHD and DM (OR: 2.36; 95% CI: 1.80-3.10). CONCLUSIONS A significant association between FAR and CAPs was observed in patients with CHD, regardless of sex or blood glucose levels. Therefore, FAR may be used as an effective indicator to identify patients at a high risk of CAPs among patients with CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study expands on previous research by examining whether the spouse's retirement affects individual depression both directly, by the changes in individual health investment, and indirectly, through the social interaction effect of the couples' depression. METHODS Using the panel data from the 2010-2018 China Family Panel Studies, we investigate the direct and indirect spillover effects of the spouse's retirement on depression among Chinese urban-worker couples (men aged 50-70, women aged 40-60; n = 10,466). To address the potential endogeneity and reflect the social interaction effect of the couples' depression, we combine the Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity method with simultaneous equations. RESULTS Overall, a spouse's retirement would improve an individual's depression, with the direct spillover dominating compared to the indirect spillover. Gender heterogeneity indicates that husbands' depression is improved by wives' retirement mainly because husbands might receive more healthcare and companionship provided by their retired wives, while wives' depression is aggravated by husbands' retirement because of the decline in household income and the lesser health investment. This difference is more evident when wives retire earlier and both spouses retire in the same year. With the spouse's retirement years increasing, husbands' depression improves and wives' depression declines each year. Moreover, spouses' depression is significantly interactive, and wives' depression is more vulnerable to husbands' depression. DISCUSSION The results highlight that the health spillover effects of the spouse's retirement need greater attention in future research and retirement reform.

Abstract
Handmade Cloning (HMC) is a pivotal technique for cloning pig embryos. Despite its significance, the low efficiency of this method hampers its widespread application. Although numerous factors and signaling pathways influencing embryo development have been studied, the mechanisms underlying low developmental capacity and insufficient reprogramming of cloned embryos remain elusive. In the present study, we sought to elucidate key regulatory factors involved in the development of pig HMC embryos by comparing and analyzing the gene expression profiles of HMC embryos with those of naturally fertilized (NF) embryos at the 4-cell, 8-cell, and 16-cell stages. The results showed that ZFP42 expression is markedly higher in NF embryos than in cloned counterparts. Subsequent experiments involving the injection of ZFP42 messenger RNA (mRNA) into HMC embryos showed that ZFP42 could enhance the blastocyst formation rate, upregulate pluripotent genes and metabolic pathways. This highlights the potential of ZFP42 as a critical factor in improving the development of pig HMC embryos.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), highly expressed by microglia in the central nervous system (CNS), can modulate neuroinflammatory responses. Currently, there are no approved drugs specifically targeting TREM2 for CNS diseases. Aspidosperma alkaloids have shown potential as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agents. This study aimed to elucidate the potential therapeutic effect of Hecubine, a natural aspidosperma-type alkaloid, as a TREM2 activator in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated neuroinflammation in in vitro and in vivo models. In this study, molecular docking and cellular thermal shift assay (CTSA) were employed to investigate the interaction between Hecubine and TREM2. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and shRNA gene knockdown were used to assess the anti-neuroinflammatory and antioxidant effects of Hecubine in microglial cells and zebrafish. Our results revealed that Hecubine directly interacted with TREM2, leading to its activation. Knockdown of TREM2 mRNA expression significantly abolished the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Hecubine on LPS-stimulated proinflammatory mediators (NO, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) and oxidative stress in microglia cells. Furthermore, Hecubine upregulated Nrf2 expression levels while downregulating TLR4 signaling expression levels both in vivo and in vitro. Silencing TREM2 upregulated TLR4 and downregulated Nrf2 signaling pathways, mimicking the effect of Hecubine, further supporting TREM2 as the drug target by which Hecubine inhibits neuroinflammation. In conclusion, this is the first study to identify a small molecule, namely Hecubine directly targeting TREM2 to mediate anti-neuroinflammation and anti-oxidative effects, which serves as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of neural inflammation-associated CNS diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests that exposure to outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) may be associated with diabetes. However, limited research explores the relationship between outdoor ALAN and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS We utilized data from a multilevel infant and early life cohort study conducted in Sichuan Province, China, between February 2018 and April 2021. A total of 9,120 participants were included in the final analysis. Outdoor ALAN exposure at participants' residential locations was estimated using time-varying satellite data, focusing on persistent night-time illumination at a scale of approximately 500x500m. The information about GDM was obtained from medical records. After adjusting for potential confounders, multivariable logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines were employed to estimate the association between ALAN exposure during pregnancy and GDM. RESULTS Among the total recruitments, 1,484 (16.27%) women were diagnosed with GDM. Compared to women without GDM, those with GDM had a significantly higher mean outdoor ALAN exposure during pregnancy (18.98 nW/cm2/sr1 vs 24.28 nW/cm2/sr1, P < 0.001). Results from multivariable logistic models showed that higher outdoor ALAN exposure during pregnancy could increase the risk of GDM (OR (95% CI) 1st+2nd trimesters ALAN = 1.253 (1.157-1.356)). Meanwhile, results from the restricted cubic spline further indicated a non-linear association between outdoor ALAN exposure during pregnancy and GDM. Generally, with the radiance of the first two trimesters of ALAN increasing to about 17.9 nW/cm2/sr1, outdoor ALAN exposure became a risk factor for GDM. However, when the radiance of ALAN reached about 40.7 nW/cm2/sr1, the continued increasing OR estimation (OR (95% CI) = 1.489 (1.223-1.814)) of outdoor ALAN changed to steady. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that high levels of outdoor ALAN exposure during pregnancy can be associated with an increased risk of GDM, and a non-linear relationship pattern might exist. These findings substantially augment existing evidence, positing outdoor ALAN as an emergent, modifiable risk factor for GDM.

Abstract
To elucidate the mechanisms governing the salt tolerance of the endangered semi-mangrove plant Barringtonia racemosa, the biomass, photosynthetic and fluorescent characteristics, and anatomical structure of B. racemosa were studied under low, medium and high salt stress. The results showed that the stem dry weight, net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO2 concentration, Fv/Fm, and ΦPSI of B. racemosa decreased under high salt stress, which led to a significant reduction in total dry weight. Stem dry weight was significantly positively correlated with the thickness of palisade tissue and significantly negatively correlated with the thickness of the epidermis of roots and xylem of stems. Therefore, a stable net photosynthetic rate and intercellular CO2 concentration, an increase in Fv/Fm and ΦPSI, an increase in or stable palisade tissue and spongy mesophyll of leaves and an increase in xylem thickness of the stem and epidermis, outer cortex, and stele diameter of roots could contribute to the salt tolerance of B. racemosa.

Abstract
The effects of evodiamine (EVO) on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are not yet understood. Based on our earlier findings, we hypothesized that evodiamine may affect OSCC cell proliferation and glutamate metabolism by modulating the expression of EPRS (glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase 1). From GEPIA, we obtained EPRS expression data in patients with OSCC as well as survival prognosis data. An animal model using Cal27 cells in BALB/c nude mice was established. The expression of EPRS was assessed by immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and quantitative PCR. Glutamate measurements were performed to evaluate the impact of evodiamine on glutamate metabolism of Cal27 and SAS tumor cells. transient transfection techniques were used to knock down and modulate EPRS in these cells. EPRS is expressed at higher levels in OSCC than in normal tissues, and it predicts poor prognosis in patients. In a nude mouse xenograft model, evodiamine inhibited tumor growth and the expression of EPRS. Evodiamine impacted cell proliferation, glutamine metabolism, and EPRS expression on Cal27 and SAS cell lines. In EPRS knockdown cell lines, both cell proliferation and glutamine metabolism are suppressed. EPRS's overexpression partially restores evodiamine's inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and glutamine metabolism. This study provides crucial experimental evidence supporting the potential therapeutic application of evodiamine in treating OSCC. Evodiamine exhibits promising anti-tumor effects by targeting EPRS to regulate glutamate metabolism.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Danlou tablet (Dan) is an effective traditional Chinese medicine for cardiac protection, although the underlying mechanism was not fully understood. In this study, we used a murine MI model and demonstrated that Dan administration effectively attenuated myocardial apoptosis, cardiac remodeling, and heart failure post MI. Dan increased CD31-positive capillaries in MI hearts, and reduced the apoptosis and oxidative stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation stress, simultaneously with the activated HIF-1α/VEGFA/eNOS signaling. Moreover, inhibition of eNOS by L-NAME attenuated Dan-induced protection against MI, and abolished its effect in promoting angiogenesis and reducing endothelial apoptosis and oxidative stress. Collectively, Dan is beneficial to promote eNOS-dependent endothelial protection and angiogenesis thus protecting against MI. A deep understanding of Dan-induced protection might help promote clinical usage of Dan in MI treatment.

Abstract
Bone marrow has the capacity to produce different types of immune cells, such as natural killer cells, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells. Improving the activation of immune cells in the bone marrow can enhance the therapy of bone metastases. Previously, we designed an engineered probiotic Lactococcus lactis, capable of expressing a fusion protein of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand and co-stimulator OX40 ligand (FOLactis), and proved that it can induce the activation and differentiation of several immune cells. In this research, we successfully establish mouse models of bone metastasis, lung metastasis and intraperitoneal dissemination, and we are the first to directly inject the probiotics into the bone marrow to inhibit tumor growth. We observe that injecting FOLactis into the bone marrow of mice can better regulate the immune microenvironment of tumor-bearing mice, resulting in a tumor-suppressive effect. Compared to subcutaneous (s.c.) injection, intra-bone marrow (IBM) injection is more effective in increasing mature DCs and CD8+ T cells and prolonging the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Our results confirm that IBM injection of FOLactis reprograms the immune microenvironment of bone marrow and has remarkable effectiveness in various metastatic tumor models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the relative risk of risk factor in male and female breast cancer (BC) deaths in China and analyzed the changing trends in BC mortality rates from 1990 to 2019. METHODS Open data from the Global Burden of Disease database from 1990 to 2019 were analyzed to assess the number of BC deaths and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) in China. The age-period-cohort model was employed to study age effects, period effects, cohort effects, as well as local drift and net drift of the data, determining the impact of changing risk factors on crude mortality rates and ASMR of BC. RESULTS In 2019, the number of BC deaths across all age groups in China increased by 130.38% compared to 1990, with an increase of 125.68% in females and 648.80% in males. The ASMR for BC and male BC increased in 2019, while female BC ASMR declined. Overall, alcohol consumption and smoking as risk factors contributed to increased mortality rates of BC with advancing age. Over the entire study period, the net drift of alcohol consumption in females for BC was 0.06% (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.24% to 0.36%), while for smoking it was -0.64% (95% CI: -0.83% to -0.45%). For males, the net drift of alcohol consumption for BC was 6.75% (95% CI: 5.55% to 7.96%), and for smoking, it was 6.09% (95% CI: 2.66% to 9.64%). CONCLUSION Hence, improving awareness of BC-related risk factors and implementing prevention strategies are necessary to alleviate future BC burdens.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a nomogram based on intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics signatures for pretreatment prediction of distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 230 patients (161 training cohort; 69 validation cohort) with LARC who underwent NCRT and surgery. Radiomics features were extracted on T2-weighted images from gross tumor volume (GTV) and volumes of 4-mm, 6-mm, and 8-mm peritumoral regions (PTV4, PTV6, and PTV8). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-Cox analysis were used for features selection and models construction. The performance of each model in predicting DMFS was evaluated by the Concordance index (C-index) and time-independent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). RESULTS The PTV4 radiomics model demonstrated superior performance compared to the PTV6 and PTV8 radiomics models, with C-indexes of 0.750 and 0.703 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The nomogram was constructed by integrating the GTV radiomics signature, PTV4 radiomics signature, and relevant clinical characteristics, including CA19-9 level, clinical T stage, and clinical N stage. The nomogram achieved C-indexes of 0.831 and 0.748, with corresponding AUCs of 0.872 and 0.808 for 5-year DMFS in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that a cut-off value of 1.653 effectively stratified patients into high- and low-risk groups for DM (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The intra-peritumoral radiomics nomogram is a favorable tool for clinicians to develop personalized systemic treatment and intensive follow-up strategies to improve patient prognosis.

Abstract
MECR-related neurologic disorder, also known as mitochondrial enoyl CoA reductase protein-associated neurodegeneration (MEPAN) or dystonia with optic atrophy and basal ganglia abnormalities in childhood (MIM: #617282), is an autosomal recessive inherited disease characterized by a progressive childhood-onset movement disorder and optic atrophy. Here we report a 19-year-old male, presented with progressive visual failure, nystagmus, and right orbital pain, with no history of movement or eye disorder in his childhood. His visual decline started at age 18 years, whereas nystagmus emerged seven months later. Analysis of whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed a homozygous recurrent variant (NM_016011.5:c.772C > T, p.Arg258Trp) in MECR. These findings suggest phenotypic heterogeneity in MECR-related neurologic disorder, thus, more relevant case screening, will help to delineate the genotype-phenotype correlation of the MECR gene.

Abstract
The role of KIAA0040 role in glioma development is not yet understood despite its connection to nervous system diseases. In this study, KIAA0040 expression levels were evaluated using qRT-PCR, WB and IHC, and functional assays were conducted to assess its impact on glioma progression, along with animal experiments. Moreover, WB was used to examine the impact of KIAA0040 on the JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway. Our study found that KIAA0040 was increased in glioma and linked to tumour grade and poor clinical outcomes, serving as an independent prognostic factor. Functional assays showed that KIAA0040 enhances glioma growth, migration and invasion by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Of course, KIAA0040 enhances glioma growth by preventing tumour cell death and promoting cell cycle advancement. Our findings suggest that targeting KIAA0040 could be an effective treatment for glioma due to its role in promoting aggressive tumour behaviour and poor prognosis.

Abstract
Heart disease remains a global health challenge, contributing notably to morbidity and mortality. The lymphatic vasculature, an integral component of the cardiovascular system, plays a crucial role in regulating essential physiological processes, including fluid balance, transportation of extravasated proteins and immune cell trafficking, all of which are important for heart function. Through thorough scientometric analysis and extensive research, the present review identified lymphangiogenesis as a hotspot in cardiovascular disease research, and the mechanisms underlying impaired cardiac lymphangiogenesis and inadequate lymph drainage in various cardiovascular diseases are discussed. Furthermore, the way used to improve lymphangiogenesis to effectively regulate a variety of heart diseases and associated signaling pathways was investigated. Notably, the current review also highlights the impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on lymphangiogenesis, aiming to establish a clinical basis for the potential of TCM to improve cardiovascular diseases by promoting lymphangiogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the value of the crossover sign (COS) in predicting treatment outcome in women with a Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) who were treated with ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of women with CSP who underwent ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration. Based on the relationship between the gestational sac, Cesarean scar and anterior wall of the uterus, CSPs were classified by COS type. Analysis was conducted to investigate the association between COS type (COS-1, COS-2) and treatment outcome. The incidence of treatment failure, retained pregnancy tissue, secondary therapy and bleeding ≥ 200 mL were analyzed. RESULTS In total, 181 eligible patients with CSP, including 90 (49.7%) women with COS-1 and 91 (50.3%) women with COS-2, were analyzed. COS-1 patients had a higher incidence of treatment failure compared with COS-2 patients (25.6% vs 8.8%; P = 0.003), as well as higher rates of retained pregnancy tissue (18.9% vs 6.6%; P = 0.013), secondary therapy (20.0% vs 6.6%; P = 0.002) and bleeding of ≥ 200 mL (13.3% vs 4.4%; P = 0.034). COS-1 and a large gestational sac (30.1-50.0 mm or >50.0 mm in diameter) were associated independently with increased risk of treatment failure (odds ratio, 4.57 (95% CI, 1.66-12.56); P = 0.003, 4.34 (95% CI, 1.35-13.94); P = 0.014 and 10.50 (95% CI, 2.54-43.46); P = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound evaluation of the relationship between the gestational sac and the endometrial line (COS classification) in women with CSP may help to predict treatment outcome among those undergoing vacuum aspiration. Among COS-1 patients, especially those with a gestational sac diameter of >30.0 mm, vacuum aspiration may be discouraged. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
Hematological malignant tumors (HMTs) are serious diseases that threaten human health and life with high mortality. Therefore, it is necessary to develop novel strategies for diagnosis and treatment. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) have recently attracted increasing attention as potential targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this study, we explored the association between HERV-K expression levels and HMTs development. Clinical data and peripheral blood samples were collected from 236 leukemia, 384 lymphoma patients, and 69 healthy controls. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of HERV-K gag, pol, and env genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells or different cell subpopulations. Differently expressed HERV-K genes were further tested by using deep sequencing method, and further analyzed with gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. B cell- and T cell-related cytokines in patients were also detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that the expression levels of the HERV-K gag, pol, and env genes in patients were significantly higher than in healthy controls. There was a correlation between the expression level of HERV-K and the clinicopathological parameters of leukemia patients. HERV-K expression was increased in the B lymphocytes of leukemia and lymphoma patients, but not in the T cells or neutrophils. The GO and KEGG analyses showed that abnormal expression of the HERV-K locus in patients affected immune regulation. The analysis of cytokines proved that the B cell-related cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon-gamma, were significantly decreased in patients, while the T cell-related cytokines, including IL-3, IL-12, and TNF-β, were not significantly changed. In conclusion, HERV-K genes might participate in the occurrence and development of leukemia and lymphoma, and might be biomarkers for the detection or evaluation of leukemia and lymphoma.

Abstract
The presence of organic dyes in aquatic systems poses a significant threat to ecosystems and human well-being. Due to recycling challenges, traditional commercial activated carbon is not cost-effective. To address this, an imidazolate acid zeolite framework-8 (ZIF-8)-modified magnetic adsorbent (ZMPLB-800) was synthesized through the in-situ formation of ZIF-8 and subsequent carbonization at 800 °C, using magnetic pineapple leaf biochar (MPLB) as a carrier. The porous structure of ZMPLB-800 facilitates the rapid passage of dye molecules, enhancing adsorption performance. ZMPLB-800 exhibited remarkable adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) across a pH range of 3-13, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 455.98 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Mechanisms of MB adsorption included pore filling, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, π-π interactions, and complexation through surface functional groups. Additionally, ZMPLB-800 demonstrated excellent regeneration performance, recording a removal efficiency exceeding 87% even after five adsorption/desorption cycles. This study provides a novel strategy for treating dye wastewater with MOF composites, laying the foundation for waste biomass utilization.

Berberine alleviates concanavalin A-induced autoimmune hepatitis in mice by modulating the gut microbiota. Hepatol Commun 2024; 8:e0381.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune-mediated liver disease of unknown etiology accompanied by intestinal dysbiosis and a damaged intestinal barrier. Berberine (BBR) is a traditional antibacterial medicine that has a variety of pharmacological properties. It has been reported that BBR alleviates AIH, but relevant mechanisms remain to be fully explored. METHODS BBR was orally administered at doses of 100 mg⋅kg-1⋅d-1 for 7 days to mice before concanavalin A-induced AIH model establishment. Histopathological, immunohistochemical, immunofluorescence, western blotting, ELISA, 16S rRNA analysis, flow cytometry, real-time quantitative PCR, and fecal microbiota transplantation studies were performed to ascertain BBR effects and mechanisms in AIH mice. RESULTS We found that liver necrosis and apoptosis were decreased upon BBR administration; the levels of serum transaminase, serum lipopolysaccharide, liver proinflammatory factors TNF-α, interferon-γ, IL-1β, and IL-17A, and the proportion of Th17 cells in spleen cells were all reduced, while the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and regulatory T cell proportions were increased. Moreover, BBR treatment increased beneficial and reduced harmful bacteria in the gut. BBR also strengthened ileal barrier function by increasing the expression of the tight junction proteins zonula occludens-1 and occludin, thereby blocking lipopolysaccharide translocation, preventing lipopolysaccharide/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/ NF-κB pathway activation, and inhibiting inflammatory factor production in the liver. Fecal microbiota transplantation from BBR to model mice also showed that BBR potentially alleviated AIH by altering the gut microbiota. CONCLUSIONS BBR alleviated concanavalin A-induced AIH by modulating the gut microbiota and related immune regulation. These results shed more light on potential BBR therapeutic strategies for AIH.
