Abstract
Plants have evolved sophisticated immune networks to restrict pathogen colonization. In response, pathogens deploy numerous virulent effectors to circumvent plant immune responses. However, the molecular mechanisms by which pathogen-derived effectors suppress plant defenses remain elusive. Here, we report that the nucleus-localized RxLR effector PsAvh110 from the pathogen Phytophthora sojae, causing soybean (Glycine max) stem and root rot, modulates the activity of a transcriptional complex to suppress plant immunity. Soybean like-heterochromatin protein 1-2 (GmLHP1-2) and plant homeodomain finger protein 6 (GmPHD6) form a transcriptional complex with transcriptional activity that positively regulates plant immunity against Phytophthora infection. To suppress plant immunity, the nuclear effector PsAvh110 disrupts the assembly of the GmLHP1-2/GmPHD6 complex via specifically binding to GmLHP1-2, thus blocking its transcriptional activity. We further show that PsAvh110 represses the expression of a subset of immune-associated genes, including BRI1-associated receptor kinase 1-3 (GmBAK1-3) and pathogenesis-related protein 1 (GmPR1), via G-rich elements in gene promoters. Importantly, PsAvh110 is a conserved effector in different Phytophthora species, suggesting that the PsAvh110 regulatory mechanism might be widely utilized in the genus to manipulate plant immunity. Thus, our study reveals a regulatory mechanism by which pathogen effectors target a transcriptional complex to reprogram transcription.

Abstract
Mastitis is one of the most prevalent diseases of dairy cows. Currently, mastitis treatment in dairy cows is mainly based on antibiotics. However, the use of antibiotics causes adverse effects, including drug resistance, drug residues, host-microbiome destruction, and environmental pollution. The present study sought to investigate the potentiality of geraniol as an alternative to antibiotics for bovine mastitis treatment in dairy cows. Additionally, the effectiveness of treatment, improvement in inflammatory factors, the influence on microbiome, presence of drug residues, and drug resistance induction were compared and analyzed comprehensively.Geraniol showed an equivalent therapeutic rate as antibiotics in the mouse infection model and cows with mastitis. Moreover, geraniol significantly inhibited the pathogenic bacteria and restored the microbial community while increasing the abundance of probiotics in milk. Notably, geraniol did not destroy the gut microbial communities in cows and mice, whereas antibiotics significantly reduced the diversity and destroyed the gut microbial community structure. Additionally, no geraniol residue was detected in milk four days after treatment discontinuation, but, antibiotic residues were detected in milk at the 7th day after drug withdrawal. In vitro experiments revealed that geraniol did not induce drug resistance in the Escherichia coli strain ATCC25922 and Staphylococcus aureus strain ATCC25923 after 150 generations of culturing, while antibiotics induced resistance after 10 generations. These results suggest that geraniol has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects similar to antibiotics without affecting the host-microbial community structure or causing drug residues and resistance. Therefore, geraniol can be a potential substitute for antibiotics to treat mastitis or other infectious diseases and be widely used in the dairy industry.

Abstract
Thymic tumours are rare thoracic malignancies with thymic carcinoma accounting for approximately 12% of all thymic tumours compared to thymomas which account for approximately 86%. Unlike thymomas, it is very rare for thymic carcinomas to be associated with autoimmune disorders or paraneoplastic syndromes. When these phenomena do occur, the vast majority are myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia, or systemic lupus erythematous. Paraneoplastic Sjogren's syndrome is a rare complication of thymic carcinoma, with only two cases previously reported. Here we present 2 cases of patients with metastatic thymic carcinoma who developed autoimmune phenomena consistent with Sjogren's syndrome without classical symptoms prior to treatment. One patient opted for surveillance of their malignancy, while the other underwent chemoimmunotherapy with favourable results. These case reports describe two distinctive clinical presentations of a rare paraneoplastic phenomenon.

Abstract
Background and aims Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with a higher risk of heart failure (HF) than those without NAFLD. However, the prognostic impact of NAFLD in HF is still controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the association between NAFLD and the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with HF. Methods We searched multiple electronic databases (Embase, PubMed, and Google Scholar) for potentially related studies up to June 30, 2022. Cohort studies reported multivariable adjusted relative risks and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of adverse outcomes in HF patients with NAFLD comparing those without NAFLD were included for analysis. Results A total of six studies involving 12,374 patients with HF were included for analysis, with a median follow-up duration of 2.5 years. The pooled analysis showed that HF patients with NAFLD were associated with a significantly increased risk of major composite adverse outcomes (HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.25-2.07), all-cause mortality (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.39-1.98), and HF hospitalization or re-hospitalization (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.03-2.86). Conclusion NAFLD is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with HF. Effective screening and treatment strategies are needed to improve the prognosis in HF patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the primary prevalent disabling joint disorder among osteoarthritis (OA), and there is no particularly effective treatment at the clinic. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs, such as Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (E.G.) couplet medicines, have been reported to exhibit beneficial health effects on KOA, exact mechanism of E.G. nevertheless is not fully elucidated. Purpose We assess the therapeutic effects of E.G. on KOA and explore its underlying molecular mechanism. Methods UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technique was used to analyze the active chemical constituents of E.G. The destabilization of the medial meniscus model (DMM) was employed to evaluate the chondroprotective action of E.G. in KOA mice using histomorphometry, μCT, behavioral testing and immunohistochemical staining. Additionally, network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to predict potential targets for anti-KOA activities of E.G., which was further verified through in vitro experiments. Results In vivo studies have shown that E.G. could significantly ameliorate DMM-induced KOA phenotypes including subchondral bone sclerosis, cartilage degradation, gait abnormality and thermal pain reaction sensibility. E.G. treatment could also promote extracellular matrix synthesis to protect articular chondrocytes, which was indicated by Col2 and Aggrecan expressions, as well as reducing matrix degradation by inhibiting MMP13 expression. Interestingly, network pharmacologic analysis showed that PPARG might be a therapeutic center. Further study proved that E.G.-containing serum (EGS) could up-regulate PPARG mRNA level in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. Notably, significant effects of EGS on the increment of anabolic gene expressions (Col2, Aggrecan) and the decrement of catabolic gene expressions (MMP13, Adamts5) in KOA chondrocytes were abolished due to the silence of PPARG. Conclusion E.G. played a chondroprotective role in anti-KOA by inhibiting extracellular matrix degradation, which might be related to PPARG.

Abstract
Purpose Understanding the inflammation and histopathological changes in vivo caused by Escherichia coli infection is of great significance for scientific research and clinical diagnosis. Methods Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups (N = 10) after adaptive feeding, and it challenged by intraperitoneal injection with different concentrations of E. coli ATCC25922. The survival situation within 7 days was recorded, and the half-lethal dose (LD50) was calculated by Karber's method. After the end, the blood, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of the mice were collected. We detected the concentration of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-β, and TNF-α) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in serum by ELSIA. Organs were observed by histopathological staining and electron microscope observation. Results The LD50 of mice infected with E. coli was 1.371∗106 CFU/kg. The concentrations of IL-6, IL-β, and TNF-α increased with time after infection in mice, reaching the highest concentration on the 7th day. iNOS was significantly increased on the 1st day of infection, and then decreased over time (P < 0.01). Within a week after infection, the colony counts of the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney showed a first decrease, and then reached a surge on the 7th day. Pathological results showed that a small amount of mitochondrial swelling and autophagy were seen in the spleen, lung and kidney tissues of the infected group; and a small amount of secondary lysosomes and autophagy were also seen; but no pathological changes were found in the liver and heart. Conclusion Escherichia coli can cause inflammation and oxidative stress in mice, causing different degrees of damage to the spleen, lung, and kidney tissues, which provides theoretical support for inflammatory and pathological changes caused by Escherichia coli infection in vivo.

Abstract
Laser-induced self-organization of periodic nanostructures on highly absorbing materials is widely understood to be due to interference between laser and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that are excited by initial surface roughness. The structure order naturally emerges from the propagation phase of SPPs. Here, we reveal an unexplored mechanism that is predominantly induced by quasicylindrical waves (QCWs) with negligible contributions from SPPs. This mechanism features a new principle of order emergence in growth of periodic nanostructures through short-range electromagnetic interactions between QCWs and marginal nanofringes. In this scenario, the periodicity of nanostructures is not simply determined by the electromagnetic wavelength. With suppressed long-range interactions, the formation of nanostructures shows a domino-like growth process, thus significantly improving structure uniformity. An in situ microscopic observation is performed to characterize the temporal dynamics of structural growth and verify the new mechanism. Further, the QCWs are directly observed in experiments, which are theoretically supported by a scattering model.

Abstract
AIMS Statins had been used as a cornerstone in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Widespread attention had been given to the risk of bleeding, especially intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients receiving statins therapy. This study aimed to determine whether statins treatment was associated with the risk of bleeding and ICH in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic databases were searched for studies up to September 8, 2022. Articles from RCTs were included in the meta-analysis if they reported the bleeding events associated with the treatment of statins or placebo/nonstatin treatment. The risk ratios (RR) of total bleeding and ICH were pooled from the number of patients with each outcome in the statins and control groups from the included studies. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies comprising 145,929 individuals (2437 incident bleeding cases) were included in the meta-analysis. After a median follow-up duration of 3.65 years, statins treatment was not associated with the risk of all bleeding (RR = 1.03, 95% CI 0.93-1.15). Furthermore, in 26 studies comprising 144,177 participants, after a median follow-up duration of 3.95 years, statins treatment was not associated with the risk of ICH (RR = 1.05, 95% CI 0.84-1.31). Although in the subgroup analysis with patients with prior stroke, statins treatment showed an increased risk of ICH (RR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.07-2.01), sensitivity analysis showed that the result was unstable, which may be mainly driven by the SPARCL study. CONCLUSIONS Statins therapy is not associated with the risk of all bleeding and ICH. Although a mildly increased risk of ICH in patients with prior stroke is observed, which may be caused by chance finding and warrant further documentation.

Abstract
Implantation of cardiovascular stents is an important therapeutic method to treat coronary artery diseases. Bare-metal and drug-eluting stents show promising clinical outcomes, however, their permanent presence may create complications. In recent years, numerous preclinical and clinical trials have evaluated the properties of bioresorbable stents, including polymer and magnesium-based stents. Three-dimensional (3D) printed-shape-memory polymeric materials enable the self-deployment of stents and provide a novel approach for individualized treatment. Novel bioresorbable metallic stents such as iron- and zinc-based stents have also been investigated and refined. However, the development of novel bioresorbable stents accompanied by clinical translation remains time-consuming and challenging. This review comprehensively summarizes the development of bioresorbable stents based on their preclinical/clinical trials and highlights translational research as well as novel technologies for stents (e.g., bioresorbable electronic stents integrated with biosensors). These findings are expected to inspire the design of novel stents and optimization approaches to improve the efficacy of treatments for cardiovascular diseases. Bioresorbable stents can overcome the limitations of non-degradable stents. 3D printing of shape-memory polymeric stents can lead to better clinical outcomes. Advances in Mg-, Fe- and Zn-based stents from a translational perspective. Electronic stents integrated with biosensors can covey stent status in real time. Development in the assessment of stent performance in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting experimental evidence has shown that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of mastitis, and clinical investigations have found that the occurrence of mastitis is correlated with ruminal dysbiosis. However, the underlying mechanism by which the ruminal microbiota participates in the development of mastitis remains unknown. RESULTS In the present study, we found that cows with clinical mastitis had marked systemic inflammation, which was associated with significant ruminal dysbiosis, especially enriched Proteobacteria in the rumen. Ruminal microbiota transplantation from mastitis cows (M-RMT) to mice induced mastitis symptoms in recipient mice along with increased mammary proinflammatory signature activation of the TLR4-cGAS-STING-NF-κB/NLRP3 pathways. M-RMT also induced mucosal inflammation and impaired intestinal barrier integrity, leading to increased endotoxemia and systemic inflammation. Moreover, we showed that M-RMT mirrored ruminal microbiota disruption in the gut of recipient mice, as evidenced by enriched Proteobacteria and similar bacterial functions, which were correlated with most proinflammatory parameters and serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels in mice. Recurrent low-grade LPS treatment mirrored gut dysbiosis-induced endotoxemia and caused severe mastitis in mice. Furthermore, we found that gut dysbiosis-derived LPS reduced host alkaline phosphatase activity by activating neuraminidase (Neu), which facilitates low-grade LPS exposure and E. coli-induced mastitis in mice. Conversely, treatment with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase or the Neu inhibitor zanamivir alleviated low-grade LPS exposure and E. coli-induced mastitis in mice. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that ruminal dysbiosis-derived low-grade endotoxemia can cause mastitis and aggravate pathogen-induced mastitis by impairing host anti-inflammatory enzymes, which implies that regulating the ruminal or gut microbiota to prevent low-grade systemic inflammation is a potential strategy for mastitis intervention.

Abstract
Objective Long-chain (LC) omega-3 PUFAs, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may play an anti-inflammatory effect and decrease the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). In contrast, omega-6 PUFA, mainly arachidonic acid (AA), has pro-inflammatory and pro-aggregatory effects, which may increase the risk of CAD. This study evaluated the associations between EPA, DHA, AA, and their ratios (EPA/AA and DHA/AA) with the risk of CAD in young Chinese patients. Methods A total of 182 young patients with CAD and 143 age-matched controls were included. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors were recorded. Serum EPA, DHA and AA were measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results The level of AA was significantly higher, while the level of EPA was lower in the CAD group than that in the control group. There was no significant difference in DHA level in the two groups. Both the ratios of EPA/AA and DHA/AA were lower in the CAD group than that in the control. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher serum AA level was associated with the increased risk of CAD, while EPA was a protective factor for CAD. There was no significant association between DHA level and the risk of CAD. Although both higher ratios of EPA/AA [per tertile increment, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) (OR) 0.356, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.247–0.513] and DHA/AA (adjusted OR = 0.465, 95%CI = 0.332–0.653) were associated with a lower risk of CAD in young patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that compared with AA, the diagnostic value was increased in EPA/AA, but not in DHA/AA. Conclusion EPA, but not DHA may play a protective role in CAD, while AA may be associated with the increased risk of CAD in young Chinese patients. The ratio of EPA/AA can increase the predictive value for diagnosing CAD than EPA or AA alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is strongly associated with mood symptoms. This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology to explore the features of brain neural activity in the dlPFC of anxious and depressed college students, during an emotional autobiographical memory task, and to understand the differences in brain cognitive mechanisms caused by anxiety and depression. METHODS A simple random sampling method was used to test 440 college students at a university with a healthy control group (HC, 220 participants), a pure depression group (PD, 92 participants), and a pure anxiety group (PA, 128 participants). The average oxyhemoglobin in the dlPFC of the subjects during the emotional autobiographical memory task was collected by a 53-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy imaging device. RESULTS The activation of the left dlPFC (ch13) in the pure depression group was significantly higher than in the pure anxiety group. The activation of the right dlPFC (ch48) was significantly higher under positive emotions than under negative emotions. The interaction between emotion valence and group was marginally significant, and the activation of the right dlPFC (ch41) in the pure depression group was significantly higher under positive emotion than in negative emotion. The activation of the pure depression group under positive emotions was significantly higher than that of the pure anxiety group. In comparison, the activation of the pure depression group under negative emotions was significantly lower than that of the healthy control group. The results of correlation analysis showed that the activation of the left dlPFC (ch13) was significantly negatively correlated with anxiety in positive emotions, but the activation of the right dlPFC (ch34, ch42) was significantly positively correlated with anxiety in positive and negative emotions. CONCLUSIONS The right dlPFC was insensitive to positive emotions in college students with high-anxiety symptoms, whereas this region was insensitive to negative emotions in college students with high depressive symptoms, which might be one of the critical differences in the cognitive mechanisms of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, left and right dlPFC activation correlated differently with anxiety. The higher the anxiety level, the lower the activation on the left side, and the higher the activation on the right side. The results suggested that anxiety might reduce the function of the left dlPFC.

Abstract
Amygdalus mongolica oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as inoleic acid (47.11%) and oleic acid (23.81%). Our research demonstrates that it exerts a protective effect on rat models of pulmonary fibrosis, however, little is known regarding the underlying mechanism of action. This study aimed to characterize the therapeutic mechanism of action of A. mongolica oil on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. A. mongolica oil appears to regulate the levels of potential key serum biomarkers which include tetrahydrobiopterin, L-serine, citrulline and estradiol to participate in folate biosynthesis, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis and steroid hormone biosynthesis. And it also enriched intestinal microbial abundance, homogeneity and modulated the abundance of Duncaniell, Desulfovibrio, Peptococcaceae_unclassified, Dubosiella, Tyzzerella, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Lactobacillus, Clostridiales_unclassified to exert a protective effect against pulmonary fibrosis. A. mongolica oil appears to confer protective effects against pulmonary fibrosis by affecting the level of pulmonary fibrosis metabolites and the abundance of related intestinal flora through multiple targets, as evidenced by our untargeted LC-MS/MS metabonomics evaluation and 16S rDNA sequencing technology.

Abstract
A leucine-rich repeat (LRR) is a widespread structural motif of 20 to 30 amino acids with characteristic repetitive sequences rich in leucine. LRR-containing proteins are critical for ligand recognition and binding, participating in plant development and defense. Like plants, oomycetes also harbor genes encoding LRR-containing proteins, but their functions remain largely unknown. We identified a zoospore-upregulated gene from Phytophthora sojae with LRRs and an extra structural maintenance of chromosomes-like domain. We generated knockout and complemented knockout strains of this LRR protein and found that its deletion resulted in a pronounced reduction in zoospore mobility and chemotaxis, cyst germination, and virulence. Interestingly, micro-examination of zoospores under a scanning electron microscope revealed irregularly shaped zoospores without flagella in these deletion mutants. In addition, the reintroduction of this LRR protein into the knockout mutant reversed all the deficiencies. Our data demonstrate a critical role for the Phytophthora LRR protein in modulating zoospore development, which impairs migration to the host soybean and affects the spread of Phytophthora pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND "Collateral disease theory", as an important theory of traditional Chinese medicine, is often used in the clinical treatment of tumors, showing a remarkable effect, especially in advanced malignancies with blood stasis and toxin. METHODS In this study, we analyzed 5 cases of advanced malignancies, and discussed the efficacy of collateral disease theory in advanced malignancies with blood stasis and toxin. The 5 cases were suffered from right lung squamous cell carcinoma, left lung squamous cell carcinoma, stage IV endometrial carcinoma, right submandibular lymphatic follicular lymphoma and right lower lung cancer, respectively. Combining with the pathogenesis of collateral disease in traditional Chinese medicine dialectically and taking insect medicine as an example, traditional Chinese medicine was prescribed. Furthermore, the application effect of "collateral disease theory" in malignancy with blood stasis and toxin was explored. RESULTS After treated with traditional Chinese medicine, the tumor lesions in the 5 cases were reduced to varying degrees. CONCLUSION The treatment based on "collateral disease theory" is effective for advanced malignancy with blood stasis and toxin, but this finding needs to be verified by prospective studies.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present a major social problem worldwide due to their high incidence and mortality rate. Many pathophysiological mechanisms are involved in CVDs, and oxidative stress plays a vital mediating role in most of these mechanisms. The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the main machinery responsible for degrading cytosolic proteins in the repair system, which interacts with the mechanisms regulating endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis. Recent evidence also points to the role of UPS dysfunction in the development of CVDs. The UPS has been associated with oxidative stress and regulates reduction–oxidation homeostasis. However, the mechanisms underlying UPS-mediated oxidative stress’s contribution to CVDs are unclear, especially the role of these interactions at different disease stages. This review highlights the recent research progress on the roles of the UPS and oxidative stress, individually and in combination, in CVDs, focusing on the pathophysiology of key CVDs, including atherosclerosis, ischemia–reperfusion injury, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. This synthesis provides new insight for continued research on the UPS–oxidative stress interaction, in turn suggesting novel targets for the treatment and prevention of CVDs.

Abstract
The development of rechargeable Na-S batteries is very promising, thanks to their considerably high energy density, abundance of elements, and low costs and yet faces the issues of sluggish redox kinetics of S species and the polysulfide shuttle effect as well as Na dendrite growth. Following the theory-guided prediction, the rare-earth metal yttrium (Y)-N4 unit has been screened as a favorable Janus site for the chemical affinity of polysulfides and their electrocatalytic conversion, as well as reversible uniform Na deposition. To this end, we adopt a metal-organic framework (MOF) to prepare a single-atom hybrid with Y single atoms being incorporated into the nitrogen-doped rhombododecahedron carbon host (Y SAs/NC), which features favorable Janus properties of sodiophilicity and sulfiphilicity and thus presents highly desired electrochemical performance when used as a host of the sodium anode and the sulfur cathode of a Na-S full cell. Impressively, the Na-S full cell is capable of delivering a high capacity of 822 mAh g-1 and shows superdurable cyclability (97.5% capacity retention over 1000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1). The proof-of-concept three-dimensional (3D) printed batteries and the Na-S pouch cell validate the potential practical applications of such Na-S batteries, shedding light on the development of promising Na-S full cells for future application in energy storage or power batteries.

Abstract
Many Chinese medicinal materials, vegetable oils and extracts, and even Chinese patent medicines are spicy, which influences the medication compliance of patients, especially children. Different from the sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami tastes, it is a painful sensation formed when the spicy substances stimulate the nerve endings. At the moment, there are a few studies on the spicy components and mechanism and masking technology for the spicy flavor of Chinese medicine in the pharmaceutical industry, and the findings in food science are usually taken as a reference, which fail to guide the masking of the spicy flavor in Chinese medicine preparations. According to literature research, the exterior-releasing medicine, dampness-resolving medicine, and interior-warming medicine are spicy, especially some vegetable oils and extracts. Taking Zingiberis Rhizoma and prescriptions containing this medicinal as an example, the spicy components in Chinese medicine and the structure-activity characteristics were analyzed to reveal the mechanism for the spicy flavor: spicy components activate the transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1(TRPV1). The advantages and disadvantages of separation, neutralization with sugar, and inclusion for the masking of the spicy flavor were summarized and the applicability in Chinese medicine was analyzed. Moreover, the future development direction was put forward. This study is expected to promote the development of spicy masking technology for Chinese medicine prescriptions for children.

Abstract
Three kinds of excipients were selected to investigate the anti-bitterness effect on the extremely bitter characteristics of Andrographis Herba decoction, and the optimal combined anti-bitterness formula was obtained. The preparation principle of different excipients was clarified by virtual screening and experimental verification to explore the advantages of the three kinds of excipients in the combined anti-bitterness effect. Sensory evaluation showed that mPEG_(2000)-PLLA_(2000), γ-cyclodextrin(γ-CD), and aspartame all had good anti-bitterness effect, which reduced the bitterness intensity of Andrographis Herba decoction by 0.5, 6, and 3 points, respectively. The anti-bitterness effect was superior when 0.15% mPEG_(2000)-PLLA_(2000), 1.60% γ-CD, and 0.04% aspartame were combined, and the taste score of the Andrographis Herba decoction decreased from 8 points(severe bitterness) to 1 point(almost no bitterness). Quantum chemistry calculations showed that mPEG_(2000)-PLLA_(2000) reduced the electrostatic potential of bitter groups, which spontaneously combined with it and formed a physical barrier, hindering the binding of bitter components to receptors. The interaction between γ-CD and bitter components was studied. It was found that the surface area and free energy of γ-CD decreased and the dipole moment increased, indicating that γ-CD included bitter components and self-assembled to form supramolecules. Molecular docking showed that hydroxy at position 14 and carbonyl at position 16 of andrographolide, and hydroxy at position 3 and 4, carbonyl at position 14, and five-membered lactone ring of dehydrated andrographolide were possibly the main bitter groups. The binding free energies of aspartame to bitter receptors TAS2 R10, TAS2 R14, and TAS2 R46 were-3.21,-1.55, and-2.52 kcal·mol~(-1), respectively, indicating that aspartame competed to inhibit the binding of bitter groups to bitter receptors. The results of content determination showed that the free amounts of andrographolide and dehydrated andrographolide in Andrographis Herba decoction were 0.23% and 0.28% respectively, while after adding flavor masking excipients, the dissociation amount of andrographolide and dehydrated andrographolide in the decoction decreased to 0.13% and 0.20%, respectively. The above results show that mPEG_(2000)-PLLA_(2000) involves some bitter components into it through micellar self-assembly to reconcile the entrance bitterness, and γ-CD includes the remaining bitter components in the real solution to control the main bitter taste. Aspartame further competes to inhibit the combination of bitter components and bitter receptors, and improves the taste to be sweet. Multi-excipients combined with anti-bitterness strategy significantly reduces the free concentration of bitter substances in Andrographis Herba decoction, and optimizes the taste of the decoction.

Abstract
Background The safety and immunogenicity of a personalized neoantigen-based peptide vaccine, iNeo-Vac-P01, was reported previously in patients with a variety of cancer types. The current study investigated the synergistic effects of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and neoantigen vaccination in cancer patients and tumor-bearing mice. Methods Twenty-eight cancer patients were enrolled in this study, including 10 patients who had received RFA treatment within 6 months before vaccination (Cohort 1), and 18 patients who had not (Cohort 2). Individualized neoantigen peptide vaccines were designed, manufactured, and subcutaneously administrated with GM-CSF as an adjuvant for all patients. Mouse models were employed to validate the synergistic efficacy of combination treatment of RFA and neoantigen vaccination. Results Longer median progression free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) were observed in patients in Cohort 1 compared to patients in Cohort 2 (4.42 and 20.18 months vs. 2.82 and 10.94 months). The results of ex vivo IFN-γ ELISpot assay showed that patients in Cohort 1 had stronger neoantigen-specific immune responses at baseline and post vaccination. Mice receiving combination treatment of RFA and neoantigen vaccines displayed higher antitumor immune responses than mice receiving single modality. The combination of PD-1 blockage with RFA and neoantigen vaccines further enhanced the antitumor response in mice. Conclusion Neoantigen vaccination after local RFA treatment could improve the clinical and immune response among patients of different cancer types. The synergistic antitumor potentials of these two modalities were also validated in mice, and might be further enhanced by immune checkpoint inhibition. The mechanisms of their synergies require further investigation. Clinical trial registration https://clinicaltrials.gov/, identifier NCT03662815.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) with superior optoelectronic properties have emerged as revolutionary semiconductor materials for diverse applications. A fundamental understanding of the interplay between the microscopic molecular-level structure and the macroscopic optoelectronic properties is essential to boost device performance toward theoretical limits. Here, we reveal the critical role of CH3NH3+ (MA) in the regulation of the physicochemical and optoelectronic properties of a MAPbI3 film irradiated by an electron beam at 130 K. The order-to-disorder transformation of the MA cation not only leads to a notably enhanced photoluminescence emission but also results in the suppression of the orthorhombic phase down to 85 K. Taking advantage of the regulation of MA cation dynamics, we demonstrate a perovskite photodetector with 100% photocurrent enhancement and long-term stability exceeding one month. Our study provides a powerful tool for regulating the optoelectronic properties and stabilities of perovskites and highlights potential opportunities related to the organic cation in OIHPs.

Abstract
The kinetics incompatibility between battery-type anode and capacitive-type cathode for sodium ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) seriously hinders their overall performance output. Herein, we construct a SIHCs device by coupling with quantum grade vanadium nitride (VN) nanodots anchored in one-dimensional N/F co-doped carbon nanofiber cages hybrids (VNQDs@PCNFs-N/F) as the freestanding anode and the corresponding activated N/F co-doped carbon nanofiber cages (APCNFs-N/F) as cathode. The strong coupling of VN quantum dots with N/F co-doped 1D conductive carbon cages effectively facilitates the ion/electron transport and intercalation-conversion-deintercalation reactions, ensuring fast sodium storage to surmount aforesaid kinetics incompatibility. Additionally, density functional theory calculations cogently manifest that the abundant active sites in the VNQDs@PCNFs-N/F configuration boost the Na+ adsorption/reaction activity well which will promote both "intrinsic" and "extrinsic" pseudocapacitance and further improve anode kinetics. Consequently, the assembled SIHCs device can achieve high energy densities of 157.1 and 95.0 Wh kg-1 at power densities of 198.8 and 9100.5 W kg-1, respectively, with an ultralong cycling life over 8000 cycles. This work further verified the feasibility of kinetics-compatible electrode design strategy toward metal ion hybrid capacitors.

Abstract
Background and aims: Recent research has associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Previous studies that evaluated the association between NAFLD and risk of heart failure (HF) yielded inconsistent results, however. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between NAFLD and the risk of HF. Methods: We searched multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase and Web of Science for potential studies published from inception until 30 October 2021. Cohort studies reported multivariable-adjusted risks of incident HF in NAFLD patients comparing those without NAFLD were included. Results: Six cohort studies comprising 10,979,967 participants (women = 55.5%) were included in the study. The median prevalence of NAFLD in these studies was 22.2%. During a median follow-up duration of 7.0 years, 92,915 HF cases were detected. In the unadjusted model, patients with NAFLD had a greater risk of incident HF [random-effect hazard ratio (HR) = 1.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.25–1.75, I2 = 99%], compared with those without NAFLD. After multivariable adjustment of confounding risk factors, NAFLD was still linked with a higher risk of HF incidence (random-effect HR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.16–1.58, I2 = 98%). The risk of HF was increased not only in patients with progressive NAFLD severity but also in those with simple steatosis. The absolute risk difference of HF in NAFLD patients compared with those without NAFLD was 11.0 (95% CI = 4.9–17.7) per 10,000 person-years after multivariable adjustment. Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that NAFLD may be associated with an increased risk of incident HF. Owing to the high heterogeneity of the published studies, however, further high-quality studies are still needed.

Abstract
Intestinal microbiota-mediated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation plays an important role in host-microbiota interactions and disease development. However, whether AhR activation mediates infection-induced inflammation in remote organs is not clear. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects and underlying mechanism of AhR activation and gut microbiota-mediated dietary tryptophan (Trp) metabolism on infection-induced inflammation using an Escherichia coli (E. coli)-induced endometritis model in mice. We found that AhR activation by 6-formylindolo (3,2-b) carbazole (Ficz), which is an AhR agonist derived from the photooxidation of Trp, alleviated E. coli-induced endometritis by repairing barrier function and inhibiting inflammatory responses, while inhibition of AhR by CH223191, which is a synthetic AhR antagonist, aggravated E. coli-induced endometritis. Gut dysbiosis damaged AhR activation and exacerbated E. coli-induced endometritis in mice, which responded to the reduced abundance of AhR ligand producers, such as Lactobacillus spp. Supplementation with dietary Trp ameliorated E. coli-induced endometritis in a microbiota-dependent manner, which was associated with the production of AhR ligands. Administration of AhR ligands, including indole and indole aldehyde, but not indole-3-propionic acid, rescued the protective effect of Trp on E. coli-induced endometritis in dysbiotic mice. Moreover, consumption of Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) containing AhR ligand-producing capability also alleviated E. coli-induced endometritis in mice in an AhR-dependent manner. Our results demonstrate that microbiota-mediated AhR activation is a key factor in fighting pathogen-caused inflammation, which leads to a potential strategy to regulate the gut microbiota and metabolism by dietary Trp or probiotics for the intervention of infectious diseases and reproductive health. IMPORTANCE Infection-induced endometritis is a common and frequently occurring disease in humans and animals. Accumulating evidence suggests an important role of the gut microbiota in the development of infection-induced inflammation. Whether and how gut microbiota-mediated AhR activation regulates the pathogenesis of pathogen-induced endometritis remains unknown. The current study found that AhR activation ameliorated E. coli-induced endometritis, and inhibition of AhR produced negative results. Gut dysbiosis reduced the abundance of AhR ligand producers including Lactobacillus spp., damaged AhR activation, and exacerbated E. coli-induced endometritis. Supplementation with dietary Trp, AhR ligands, and L. reuteri containing AhR ligand-producing capability alleviated E. coli-induced endometritis in mice. Our results suggest an important role of microbiota-mediated AhR activation in the pathogenesis of endometritis and provide potential strategies for the intervention of infectious diseases and reproductive health by regulating the gut microbiota and metabolism.

Abstract
The targeted delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) to desired organs remains a great challenge for in vivo applications of mRNA technology. For mRNA vaccines, the targeted delivery to the lymph node (LN) is predicted to reduce side effects and increase the immune response. In this study, we explored an endogenously LN-targeting lipid nanoparticle (LNP) without the modification of any active targeting ligands for developing an mRNA cancer vaccine. The LNP named 113-O12B showed increased and specific expression in the LN compared with LNP formulated with ALC-0315, a synthetic lipid used in the COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty. The targeted delivery of mRNA to the LN increased the CD8+ T cell response to the encoded full-length ovalbumin (OVA) model antigen. As a result, the protective and therapeutic effect of the OVA-encoding mRNA vaccine on the OVA-antigen-bearing B16F10 melanoma model was also improved. Moreover, 113-O12B encapsulated with TRP-2 peptide (TRP2180-188)-encoding mRNA also exhibited excellent tumor inhibition, with the complete response of 40% in the regular B16F10 tumor model when combined with anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) therapy, revealing broad application of 113-O12B from protein to peptide antigens. All the treated mice showed long-term immune memory, hindering the occurrence of tumor metastatic nodules in the lung in the rechallenging experiments that followed. The enhanced antitumor efficacy of the LN-targeting LNP system shows great potential as a universal platform for the next generation of mRNA vaccines.

Abstract
Suppressing the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) largely has been a major clinical challenge due to complex and diverse metabolites and high dispersion of bitter metabolites in liquid preparations. In this work, we developed a novel strategy for recognizing bitter substances, hiding their bitter taste, and elucidated the mechanism of flavor masking in TCM. Huanglian Jie-Du Decoction (HLJDD) with an intense bitter taste was studied as a typical case. UHPLC-MS/MS was used to analyze the chemical components in HLJDD, whereas the bitter substances were identified by pharmacophores. Additionally, the screening results of the pharmacophores were further validated by using experimental assays. The mask formula of HLJDD was effectively screened under the condition of clear bitter substances. Subsequently, computational chemistry, molecular docking, and infrared characterization (IR) techniques were then used to explicate the mechanism of flavor masking. Consequently, neotame, γ-CD, and mPEG2000-PLLA2000 significantly reduced the bitterness of HLJDD. Specifically, mPEG2000-PLLA2000 increased the colloid proportion in the decoction system and minimized the distribution of bitter components in the real solution. Sweetener neotame suppressed the perception of bitter taste and inhibited bitter taste receptor activation to eventually reduce the bitter taste. The γ-CD included in the decoction bound the hydrophobic groups of the bitter metabolites in real solution and “packed” all or part of the bitter metabolites into the “cavity”. We established a novel approach for screening bitter substances in TCM by integrating virtual screening and experimental assays. Based on this strategy, the bitter taste masking of TCM was performed from three different aspects, namely, changing the drug phase state, component distribution, and interfering with bitter taste signal transduction. Collectively, the methods achieved a significant effect on bitter taste suppression and taste masking. Our findings will provide a novel strategy for masking the taste of TCM liquid preparation/decoction, which will in return help in improving the clinical efficacy of TCM.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) assisted with submental mini-incision in early thyroid papillary carcinoma. Methods: A total of 63 patients with early papillary thyroid carcinoma (cT1N0M0) were included who underwent TOETVA from December 2019 to May 2021 in Department of Thyroid Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University. There were 4 males and 59 females, aged from 17 to 46 years old. Of those 36 patients received traditional TOETVA as control and 27 patients accepted modified TOETVA assisted with submental mini-incision. The clinical outcomes of patients in two groups were compared. Chi-square test and t test were used in statistical analyses. Results: Compared to control group, modified TOETVA group had the less mean operation time [(146.63±38.62) minutes vs. (167.78±36.71) minutes, t=-2.21, P=0.031], the shorter time required for returning to normal diet after operation [(2.11±0.89) days vs. (2.72±1.16) days, t=-2.28, P=0.026], and the lower probability of mandibular numbness (0 vs. 16.67%, χ2=4.97, P=0.026). There was no significant difference between two groups in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, number of central lymph nodes dissection, and postoperative complications such as gas embolism, postoperative bleeding, postoperative infection, skin burns, subcutaneous effusion and so on(all P>0.05). After 6 months of operation, the thyroid ultrasound of the patients in two groups showed no recurrence, and the patients were satisfied with their surgical incision appearances. Conclusion: Both the modified and traditional TOETVA show similar efficacies for treatments of early thyroid papillary carcinoma, but the modified TOETVA can reduce the operation time and improve the quality of life.

To fit the aqueous environment, the FPI is designed as an open-cell microstructure consisting of well-crafted surfaces together with supporting rods, where the major spectral interference occurs between the waveguide's facet and the printed surface. Subsequently, the sensing performances of the fiber FPI are comprehensively studied under various RI as well as temperature configurations. The RI sensitivity is obtained to be ∼1058 nm/RIU with a low detection limit of 4.5× 10-6 RIU, which is comparable to that of previous reported FPIs. And the temperature cross-sensitivity reaches a value of 8.2 × 10-5 RIU/°C, indicating the good reliability for RI monitoring. Compared to other fiber FPIs, our sensor exhibits substantial advantages such as ease of fabrication, highly smooth cavity surfaces, and sufficient mechanical strength, providing a practical and competitive solution for chemical and biological sensing.

Abstract
With the emerging advances in utilizing nanocarriers for biomedical applications, a molecular-level understanding of the in vivo fate of nanocarriers is necessary. After administration into human fluids, nanocarriers can attract proteins onto their surfaces, forming an assembled adsorption layer called protein corona (PC). The formed PC can influence the physicochemical properties and subsequently determine nanocarriers' biological behaviors. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the features and effects of the PC on the nanocarriers' surface is the first and most important step towards controlling their in vivo fate. This review introduces fundamental knowledge such as the definition, formation, composition, conformation, and characterization of the PC, emphasizing the in vivo environmental factors that control the PC formation. The effect of PC on the physicochemical properties and thus biological behaviors of nanocarriers was then presented and thoroughly discussed. Finally, we proposed the design strategies available for engineering PC onto nanocarriers to manipulate them with the desired surface properties and achieve the best biomedical outcomes.

Abstract
Background: White coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) can increase the risk of target organ damage. Home blood pressure monitoring is an important method for detecting WCH and MH. However, the prevalence and related factors of WCH and MH in China have been rarely reported. Objective: To explore the prevalence and related factors associated with white coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) in Shunde District, Southern China. Methods: This study recruited subjects from the Physical Examination Center in Shunde Hospital, Southern Medical University. Office blood pressure and home blood pressure values were collected using the home blood pressure monitor with telemedicine device and office blood pressure monitor, and the prevalence of WCH and MH was calculated by the values. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the related factors for WCH and MH. Results: Four-hundred and sixty-one participants (61% male), with an average age of 49 years, were included. The prevalence of WCH and MH was 5.1 and 15.2%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking (OR = 4.71, 95% CI = 1.05–21.15) and family history of coronary heart disease (OR = 4.51, 95% CI = 1.08–18.93) were associated with higher odds of WCH. The associated factors for higher odds of MH were smoking (OR = 2.83, 95% CI = 1.11–7.23), family history of hypertension (OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.11–4.26) and family history of coronary heart disease (OR = 2.82, 95% CI = 1.07–7.45). Conclusion: WCH and MH are highly prevalent in the Physical Examination Center in Shunde Hospital, Southern Medical University. We found smoking and family history of coronary heart disease were related factors for WCH, and smoking, family history of hypertension and coronary heart disease were associated with the odds of MH. Home blood pressure monitoring with a telemedicine device should be recommended to identity abnormal BP phenotype.

Abstract
Due to the perfection of the nanofabrication in nanotechnology and nanoscience, ice lithography (IL) by patterning ice thin-films with a focused electron beam, as a significant derivative technology of electron beam lithography (EBL), is attracting growing attention, evoked by its advantages over traditional EBL with respects of in situ-fabrication, high efficiency, high accuracy, limited proximity effect, three-dimensional (3D) profiling capability, etc. However, theoretical modeling of ice lithography for replicated profiles on the ice resist (amorphous solid water, ASW) has rarely been reported so far. As the result, the development of ice lithography still stays at the experimental stage. The shortage of modeling methods limits our insight into the ice lithography capability, as well as theoretical anticipations for future developments of this emerging technique. In this work, an e-beam induced etching ice model based on the Monte Carlo algorithm for point/line spread functions is established to calculate the replicated profiles of the resist by ice lithography. To testify the fidelity of the modeling method, systematic simulations of the ice lithography property under the processing parameters of the resist thickness, electron accelerating voltage and actual patterns are performed. Theoretical comparisons between the IL on ASW and the conventional EBL on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) show superior properties of IL over EBL in terms of the minimum feature size, the highest aspect ratio, 3D nanostructure/devices, etc. The success in developing a modeling method for ice lithography, as reported in this paper, offers a powerful tool in characterizing ice lithography up to the theoretical level and down to molecular scales.

Abstract
Lightweight, miniaturized optical imaging systems are vastly anticipated in these fields of aerospace exploration, industrial vision, consumer electronics, and medical imaging. However, conventional optical techniques are intricate to downscale as refractive lenses mostly rely on phase accumulation. Metalens, composed of subwavelength nanostructures that locally control light waves, offers a disruptive path for small-scale imaging systems. Recent advances in the design and nanofabrication of dielectric metalenses have led to some high-performance practical optical systems. This review outlines the exciting developments in the aforementioned area whilst highlighting the challenges of using dielectric metalenses to replace conventional optics in miniature optical systems. After a brief introduction to the fundamental physics of dielectric metalenses, the progress and challenges in terms of the typical performances are introduced. The supplementary discussion on the common challenges hindering further development is also presented, including the limitations of the conventional design methods, difficulties in scaling up, and device integration. Furthermore, the potential approaches to address the existing challenges are also deliberated.

Abstract
It is always a great challenge to bridge the nano- and macro-worlds in nanoscience, for instance, manufacturing uniform nanogratings on a whole wafer in seconds instead of hours even days. Here, we demonstrate a single-step while extremely high-throughput femtosecond laser scanning technique to obtain wafer-scale, highly regular nanogratings on semiconductor-on-metal thin films. Our technique takes advantage of long-range surface plasmons-laser interference, which is regulated by a self-initiated seed. By controlling the scanning speed, two types of nanogratings are readily manufactured, which are produced by either oxidation or ablation. We achieve a record manufacturing speed (>1 cm2 s-1), with tunable periodicity of Λ < 1 µm. The fractional variation of their periodicity is evaluated to be as low as ∆Λ/Λ ≈ 0.5%. Furthermore, by utilizing the semiconductor-on-metal film-endowed interference effects, an extremely high energy efficiency is achieved via suppressing light reflection during femtosecond laser nano-processing. As the fabricated nanogratings exhibit multi-functionality, we exemplify their practical applications in highly sensitive refractive index sensing, vivid structural colors, and durable superhydrophilicity.

Abstract
3151 Background: We previously reported the safety and immunogenicity of a personalized neoantigen-based peptide vaccine, iNeo-Vac-P01, in patients with a variety of cancer types. The current study investigated the synergistic effects between radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and neoantigen vaccination in cancer patients and tumor-bearing mice. Methods: 28 cancer patients were enrolled in this study, including 10 patients who had received RFA treatment within 6 months before scheduled for vaccination, and 18 patients who had not. Individualized neoantigen peptide vaccines were designed, manufactured, and delivered for all patients, followed by subcutaneous administration of GM-CSF as an adjuvant. Mouse models were used to validate the synergistic efficacy of combination treatment of RFA and neoantigen vaccination. Results: Longer median progression free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) were observed in patients receiving RFA prior to vaccines compared to patients only receiving vaccines (4.42 and 20.18 months vs. 2.82 and 10.94 months). Ex vivo ELISpot assay showed that patients who received both had stronger IFN-γ responses against patient-specific neoantigens at baseline and post vaccination. Mice receiving RFA together with vaccine displayed higher antitumor immune responses than mice receiving single modality; addition of anti-PD-1 further enhanced the antitumor response. Conclusions: Neoantigen vaccination after RFA treatment led to an overall increase in clinical response and immune response among patients of different cancer types. Combination treatment of both modalities in mice further validated their synergistic antitumor potentials, which could be further enhanced by the addition of anti-PD-1. The mechanisms of their synergies require further investigation. Clinical trial information: NCT03662815.

Abstract
The colonization and virulence production of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a known pathogen that induces mastitis, depend on its quorum-sensing (QS) system and biofilm formation. It has been reported that Bacillus can inhibit the QS system of S. aureus, thereby reducing S. aureus colonization in the intestine. However, whether Bacillus affects S. aureus biofilm formation and consequent colonization during mastitis is still unknown. In this study, the differences in the colonization of S. aureus and Bacillus were first analyzed by isolating and culturing bacteria from milk samples. It was found that the colonization of Bacillus and S. aureus in cow mammary glands was negatively correlated. Secondly, we found that although Bacillus did not affect S. aureus growth, it inhibited the biofilm formation of S. aureus by interfering its QS signaling. The most significant anti-biofilm effect was found in Bacillus subtilis H28 (B. subtilis H28). Finally, we found that B. subtilis H28 treatment alleviated S. aureus-induced mastitis in a mice model. Our results rerealed that bovine milk derived commensal Bacillus inhibited S. aureus colonization and alleviated S. aureus-induced mastitis by influencing biofilm formation, suggesting a potential targeted strategy to limit the colonization of S. aureus in vivo.

Abstract
Ice-assisted electron-beam lithography (iEBL) by patterning ice with a focused electron-beam has emerged as a green nanofabrication technique for building nanostructures on diverse substrates. However, materials like atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), can be easily damaged by electron irradiation. To ensure the performance of devices based on sensitive materials, it is critical to control electron-beam induced radiolysis in iEBL processes. In this paper, we demonstrate that electron-beam patterning with extremely low-energy electrons followed by a heating process can significantly reduce the damage to substrate materials. A thin film of water ice not only acts as a sacrificial layer for patterning but also becomes a protecting layer for the underlying materials. As a result, MoS2 field effect transistors with back-gate configuration and ohmic contacts have been successfully fabricated. Moreover, the presence or absence of such a protecting layer can lead to the retention or destruction of the underlying MoS2, which provides a flexible method for creating electrical insulation or connection on 2D materials.

Abstract
Active temperature control devices are widely used for the thermal management of enclosures, including vehicles and buildings. Passive radiative cooling has been extensively studied; however, its integration with existing actively temperature regulated and decorative enclosures has slipped out of the research at status quo. Here, we present a photonic-engineered dual-side thermal management strategy for reducing the active power consumption of the existing temperature-regulated enclosure without sacrificing its aesthetics. By coating the exterior and interior of the enclosure roof with two visible-transparent films with distinctive wavelength-selectivity, simultaneous control over the energy exchange among the enclosure with the hot sun, the cold outer space, the atmosphere, and the active cooler can be implemented. A power-saving of up to 63% for active coolers of the enclosure is experimentally demonstrated by measuring the heat flux compared to the ordinary enclosure when the set temperature is around 26°C. This photonic-engineered dual-side thermal management strategy offers facile integration with the existing enclosures and represents a new paradigm toward carbon neutrality.

Abstract
We present numerical simulations of a particle trapped at the isotropic-nematic liquid crystal (Iso-N) interface. We use our recent model, based on a phase-field approach [see Qiu et al., Phys. Rev. E 103, 022706 (2021)10.1103/PhysRevE.103.022706], to couple the capillary forces acting on the interface with the elastic stresses in the nematic phase along with topological defects. A range of floating configurations are first investigated as a function of the contact angle and various anchoring conditions at the fluid interface. The results show that the response of the system is driven by the existence of an anchoring conflict at the contact line. Substantial particle displacements and/or interfacial deformations may occur in this case even for moderate anchoring strengths. These findings highlight the coupling between elastic and capillary forces. In a second part, we compute drag forces exerted on a particle that moves along the Iso-N interface for several contact angles and a moderate Ericksen number. Because of the coupling between the velocity and order parameter fields, topological defects are swept downstream of the particle by the flow and sometimes escape from the particle or merge with the interface. We also find linear force-velocity laws, with drag forces at the Iso-N interface being slightly greater than their isotropic counterparts due to director distortions. We discuss these results in light of past studies on the behavior of particles being dragged in the bulk of a liquid crystal matrix.

Abstract
As a key element of the tumor microenvironment (TME), immune cell infiltration (ICI) is a frequently observed histologic finding in people with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and it is linked to immunotherapy sensitivity. Nonetheless, the ICI in TNBC, to the best of our knowledge, has not been comprehensively characterized. In our current work, computational algorithms based on biological data from next-generation sequencing were employed to characterize ICI in a large cohort of TNBC patients. We defined various ICI patterns by unsupervised clustering and constructed the ICI scores using the principal component analysis (PCA). We observed patients with different clustering patterns had distinct ICI profiles and different signatures of differentially expressed genes. Patients with a high ICI score tended to have an increased PD-L1 expression and improved outcomes, and these patients were associated with decreased tumor mutational burden (TMB). Interestingly, it was showed that patients with high TMB exhibited an ameliorated overall survival (OS) than patients with low TMB. Furthermore, TMB scores only affected the prognosis of TNBC patients in the low-ICI score group but not in the high group. Finally, we identified a new immune-related lncRNA (irlncRNA) signature and established a risk model for the TNBC prognosis prediction. In addition, the high-risk group was related to poor prognosis, a high infiltration level of plasma B cells, monocytes, M2 macrophages, and neutrophils and a low PD-L1 expression. Therefore, the characterization and systematic evaluation of ICI patterns might potentially predict the prognosis and immunotherapy response in TNBC patients.

Abstract
Phytophthora sojae is a model species for the study of plant pathogenic oomycetes. The initial research on gene function using Phytophthora was mainly based on gene silencing technology. Recently, the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing technology was successfully established in P. sojae and widely used in oomycetes. In this protocol, we describe the operating procedures for the use of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing technology and PEG-mediated stable transformation of P. sojae protoplasts. Two plasmids were co-transformed into P. sojae: pYF515 expressing Cas9 and the single guide RNA, and the homologous replacement vector of the candidate gene. Finally, the ORF of candidate gene were replaced with the ORF of the entire hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (HPH), to achieve precise knockout.

Abstract
Aims: Adequate intake of long-chain (LC) omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ( n-3 PUFAs) is considered important for cardiovascular health. However, the effects of LC n-3 PUFAs on the risk of heart failure (HF) remain unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the role of LC n-3 PUFAs in the incidence of HF. Materials and Methods: Electronic databases were searched for studies up to 31 July 2021. Studies were included for the meta-analysis if they reported the adjusted associations between different dietary intakes or circulating concentrations of LC n-3 PUFAs and the risk of HF. A random-effect model was used to calculate the pooled estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for higher LC n-3 PUFA concentrations. Results: Thirteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. Eight studies comprising 316,698 individuals (11,244 incident HF cases), with a median follow-up of 10.7 years, showed that a higher dietary intake of LC n-3 PUFAs was associated with a lower risk of HF (highest versus lowest quintile: HR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.75–0.94). Six studies, comprising 17,163 participants (2520 HF cases) with a median follow-up of 9.7 years, showed that higher circulating LC n-3 PUFA concentrations were associated with a lower risk of HF (highest versus lowest quintile: HR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.39–0.91). Higher circulating docosahexaenoic acid concentrations were associated with a decreased risk of HF (top versus bottom quintile: HR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.26–0.77). The associations between eicosapentaenoic acid (HR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.26–1.25), docosahexaenoic acid (HR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.24–1.82), and the risk of HF were not significant. Conclusion: High LC n-3 PUFA concentrations measured by dietary intake or circulating biomarkers are associated with a lower risk of developing HF.

Abstract
Background: The α-linolenic acid is a plant origin n-3 fatty acid that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the effect of α-linolenic acid (ALA) on the risk of heart failure (HF) remains unclear. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to determine the role of ALA in the risk of incident HF. Methods: Electronic databases were searched for studies up to August 10, 2021. Studies were included for meta-analysis if the adjusted risk of HF in different dietary intake or circulating levels of ALA was reported. We used the random-effects model to calculate the estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CI for higher ALA. Results: A total of 6 studies (7 cohorts) comprising 135,270 participants were included for meta-analysis. After a median follow-up duration of 10 years, 5,905 cases of HF were recorded. No significant heterogeneity was observed among all the included studies. Random-effects model analyses showed that there was no significant association between ALA and the risk of incident HF, either assessed as quintiles (highest quintile vs. lowest quintile: HR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.86–1.06) or per 1 SD increment (HR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.95–1.01). Furthermore, we did not observe any association between ALA and the risk of HF in subgroup analyses performed according to age, sex, follow-up duration, and measuring method of ALA. Conclusions: We found no association between ALA and the risk of incident HF, suggesting that ALA might not be effective in the prevention of HF.
