Abstract
Transplantation of allogeneic adult spinal cord tissues (aSCTs) to replace the injured spinal cord, serves as a promising strategy in complete spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. However, in addition to allograft immune rejection, damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP)-mediated inflammatory microenvironments greatly impair the survival and function of transplants. In this study, we aimed to regulate the immune microenvironment after aSCT implantation by developing a functional hybrid gelatin and hyaluronic acid hydrogel (F-G/H) modified with cationic polymers and anti-inflammatory cytokines that can gelatinize at both ends of the aSCT to glue the grafts for perfect matching at defects. The F-G/H hydrogel exhibited the capacities of DAMP scavenging, sustainably released anti-inflammatory cytokines, and reduced lymphocyte accumulation, thereby modulating the immune response and enhancing the survival and function of aSCTs. When the hydrogel was used in combination with a systemic immunosuppressive drug treatment, the locomotor functions of SCI rats were significantly improved after aSCTs and F-G/H transplantation. This biomaterial-based immunomodulatory strategy may provide the potential for spinal cord graft replacement for treating SCI. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we aimed to regulate the immune microenvironment by developing a functional hybrid gelatin and hyaluronic acid hydrogel (F-G/H) modified with cationic polymers and anti-inflammatory cytokines that can gelatinize at both ends of the aSCT to glue the grafts for perfect matching at defects. We found that with the treatment of F-G/H hydrogel, the aSCT survival and function was significantly improved, as a result of reducing recruitment and activation of immune cells through TLR- and ST-2- related signaling. With the combination of immunosuppressive drug treatment, the locomotor functions of SCI rats were significantly improved after aSCTs and F-G/H transplantation. Findings from this work suggest the potential application of the F-G/H as a biomaterial-based immunoregulatory strategy for improving the therapeutic efficiency of the transplanted spinal cord graft for spinal cord injury repair.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) involves excessive inflammatory responses, which are characterized by the existence of high levels of proinflammatory M1 macrophages rather than prohealing M2 macrophages, and oxidative stress. Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a promising therapeutic target in regulation of macrophage reprogramming from the M1 to M2 phenotype. However, knockdown of IRF5 expression mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) is limited by instability and poor cellular uptake. In the present study, polyethylenimine-conjugated, diselenide-bridged mesoporous silica nanoparticles are tailored to regulate macrophage polarization by controllably delivering siRNA to silence IRF5. The MSN provides reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive degradation and release, while polyethylenimine-function offers efficient loading of siRNA-IRF5 and enhanced endosome escape. As a consequence, the intelligent nanomaterial effectively transfects the siRNA-IRF5 with its remaining high stability and bioactivity, thereby effectively regulating the M1-to-M2 macrophage conversion in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, administration of the functional nanomaterial in crush SCI mice suppresses excessive inflammation, enhances neuroprotection, and promotes locomotor restoration. Collectively, the ROS-responsive nanomedicine provides a gene silencing strategy for regulating macrophage polarization and oxidative balance in SCI repair.

Abstract
Traditional deltamethrin (DM) formulations (e.g., emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, etc.) have significant disadvantages of poor water dispersion stability, burst release, weak leaf affinity, short duration, poor efficacy, and high environmental toxicity. A nanomaterial-based pesticide delivery system (PDS) has provided effective strategies for green preparation and synergism of pesticide formulations. In this article, we developed carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)-modified graphene oxide (GO) as a vector for DM and constructed a pH-responsive PDS for Culex pipiens pallens control. GO-CMCS possesses excellent pesticide loading performance for DM (loading rate 87.76%). After being loading on GO-CMCS, the GO-CMCS-DM has a significantly improved dispersion stability in water. The GO-CMCS-DM exhibits pH-responsive controlled release performance, which can sustain the release of DM into the medium, maintaining an effective long-term concentration. Additionally, the leaf adhesion of GO-CMCS-DM is better than that for free DM, which can improve the pesticide utilization. Therefore, GO-CMCS-DM has a prolonged persistent period and sustained activity against Culex pipiens pallens. Considering the industrialization potential of GO, we believe that GO will play an important role in the pest control and antiepidemic fields.

Abstract
Spodoptera frugiperda is a global pest that brings about great disasters to crops. Conventional pesticide formulations often suffer from poor water solubility, low stability, burst release, weak leaf adhesion, and low efficiency. To improve the insecticidal activity of pesticides, a stimuli-responsive controlled release pesticide delivery system (PDS) has attracted extensive attention in recent years. This paper reports a temperature-responsive controlled release PDS based on poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAm)-modified indoxacarb (IDC)-loaded UiO-66-(COOH)2 (IDC@UiO-66-(COOH)2-PNIPAm) and studies its insecticidal activities against S. frugiperda. The UiO-66-(COOH)2 nanocarrier has an excellent pesticide loading performance, and the loading rate for IDC is 78.69%. The as-prepared PDS has good stability, temperature-responsive controllable release performance, and enhanced leaf affinity, so it can effectively improve the utilization rate of IDC. The insecticidal experiment indicates that the PDS has an enhanced control effect against S. frugiperda. In addition, biosafety analysis further verifies that the PDS exhibits no obvious negative effects on the germination of maize seeds and the growth of maize seedlings. In view of this, we believe that this PDS will have a broad application in the field of pesticide formulation innovation, pest management, and sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of interference of P2X4 receptor expression in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) on invasion and migration of glioma cells. METHODS C57BL/6 mouse models bearing gliomas in the caudate nucleus were examined for glioma pathology with HE staining and expressions of Iba-1 and P2X4 receptor with immunofluorescence assay. RAW264.7 cells were induced into TAMs using conditioned medium from GL261 cells, and the changes in mRNA expressions of macrophage polarization-related markers and the mRNA and protein expressions of P2X4 receptor were detected with RT-qPCR and Western blotting. The effect of siRNA-mediated P2X4 interference on IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA and protein expressions in the TAMs was detected with RT-qPCR and Western blotting. GL261 cells were cultured in the conditioned medium from the transfected TAMs, and the invasion and migration abilities of the cells were assessed with Transwell invasion and migration experiment. RESULTS The glioma tissues from the tumor-bearing mice showed a significantly greater number of Iba-1-positive cells, where an obviously increased P2X4 receptor expression was detected (P=0.001), than the brain tissues of the control mice (P < 0.001). The M2 macrophage markers (Arg-1 and IL-10) and M1 macrophage markers (iNOS and TNF-α) were both significantly up-regulated in the TAMs derived from RAW264.7 cells (all P < 0.01), but the up-regulation of the M2 macrophage markers was more prominent; the expression levels of P2X4 receptor protein and mRNA were both increased in the TAMs (P < 0.05). Interference of P2X4 receptor expression significantly lowered the mRNA(P < 0.01)and protein (P < 0.01, P < 0.05)expression levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the TAMs and obviously inhibited the ability of the TAMs to promote invasion and migration of the glioma cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Interference of P2X4 receptor in the TAMs suppresses the migration and invasion of glioma cells possibly by lowering the expressions of IL-1β and IL-18.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical value of three-dimensional (3D) visualization technique in laparoscopic D3 radical resection of right colon cancer. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 73 patients with right colon cancer undergoing laparoscopic D3 radical operation in our hospital between May, 2019 and March, 2021. Among these patients, 41 underwent enhanced CT examination with 3D visualization reconstruction to guide the actual operation, and 32 underwent enhanced CT examination only before the operation (control group). In 3D visualization group, we examined the coincidence rate between the 3D visualization model and the findings in surgical exploration of the anatomy and variations of the main blood vessels, supplying vessels of the tumor, and the tumor location, and the coincidence rate between the actual surgical plan for D3 radical resection of right colon cancer and the plan formulated based on the 3D model. The operative time, estimated blood loss, unexpected injury of blood vessels, number of harvested lymph nodes, mean time of the first flatus, complications, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative drainage volume were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The operative time was significantly shorter in 3D visualization group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The volume of blood loss, proportion of unexpected injury of blood vessel, the number of harvested lymph nodes, time of the first flatus, proportion of complications, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative drainage volume did not differ significantly between the two groups (P > 0.05). In the 3D visualization group, the 3D visualization model clearly displayed the shape and direction of the colon, the location of the tumor, the anatomy and variation of the main blood vessels and the blood vessels supplying the cancer, and showed a coincidence rate of 100% with the findings by surgical exploration. The surgical plan for D3 radical resection of right colon cancer was formulated based on the 3D model also showed a coincidence rate of 100% with the actual surgical plan. CONCLUSION The 3D visualization reconstruction technique allows clear visualization the supplying arteries of the tumor and their variations to improve the efficiency, safety and accuracy of laparoscopic D3 radical resection of right colon cancer.

Abstract
Aligned fibrous hydrogels capable of recruiting endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) show great promise in spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. However, the hydrogels suffer from severe issues in close contact with the transected nerve stumps and harnessing the NSPC fate in the lesion microenvironment. Herein, we report aligned collagen-fibrin (Col-FB) fibrous hydrogels with stretchable property, adhesive behavior, and stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF1α)/paclitaxel (PTX) spatiotemporal delivery capability. The resultant Col-FB fibrous hydrogels exhibited 1.98 times longer elongation at break (230%), 2.55 times lower Young's modulus (17.93 ± 1.16 KPa), and 2.21 times greater adhesive strength (3.45 ± 0.48 KPa) than collagen (Col) fibrous hydrogels. The soft aligned fibrous hydrogels simulate the oriented microstructure and soft tissue feature of a natural spinal cord and provide elasticity and adhesivity to ensure a persistent close contact with host stumps. The repair of complete transection SCI in rats demonstrates that "middle-to-bilateral" SDF1α gradient release induced endogenous NSPC migration to the lesion site in 10 days, and SDF1α/PTX sequential release promoted neuronal differentiation of the recruited NSPCs over 8 weeks, leading to hind limb locomotion recovery. The presented strategy was proved to be efficient for harnessing endogenous NSPCs, which facilitate SCI repair significantly.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the early outcome of one-stage hybrid technique in the treatment of Stanford type-A aortic dissection involving the arch and compare its therapeutic efficacy with the classical frozen elephant trunk technique (FET). Methods: A total of 106 patients with Stanford type-A aortic dissection involving the arch in Department of Cardiac and Vascular Surgery, 1st Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from October 2015 to October 2019 was collected. All patients in this group were treated with one-stage hybrid technique (modified arch debranching technique) without deep hypothermia circulation. Meanwhile, 30 patients with Stanford type A dissection involving the arch who underwent FET from January 2014 to September 2015 were collected. The therapeutic effects of the two surgical methods were analyzed and compared. Results: The age [M (Q1, Q3)] of 106 patients in hybrid group was 49.0 (40.0, 55.0) years, including 89 males and 17 females. The age [M(Q1, Q3)] of 30 patients in FET group was 49.5 (41.5, 65.3) years, including 24 males and 6 females. The time [M(Q1, Q3)] of using ventilator in hybrid group was 56.0 (38.0, 72.0) h, which was shorter than 127.0 (92.0, 145.0) h in FET group (P<0.001). The incidence of cerebral infarction in hybrid group was 2.8% (3 cases), which was lower than 13.3% (4 cases) in FET group (P=0.042); the incidence of postoperative renal insufficiency in hybrid group was 7.5% (8 cases), which was lower than 23.3% (7 cases) in FET group (P=0.023); the ICU time [M (Q1, Q3)] in hybrid group was 8.0 (6.0, 10.0) d, which was shorter than 14.0 (8.3, 24.0) d in FET group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Compared with FET, one-stage hybrid technology is safer and more effective in the treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection involving the arch. Its short-term therapeutic efficacy appears good.

Abstract
Severe microenvironmental changes after spinal cord injury (SCI) present serious challenges in neural regeneration and tissue repair. Gelatin (GL)- and hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels are attractive scaffolds because they are major components of the extracellular matrix and can provide a favorable adjustable microenvironment for neurogenesis and motor function recovery. In this study, three-dimensional hybrid GL/HA hydrogel scaffolds were prepared and optimized. The hybrid hydrogels could undergo in-situ gelation and fit the defects perfectly via visible light- induced crosslinking in the complete SCI rats. We found that the transplantation of the hybrid hydrogel scaffold significantly reduced the inflammatory responses and suppressed glial scar formation in an HA concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, the hybrid hydrogel with GL/HA ratios less than 8/2 effectively promoted endogenous neural stem cell migration and neurogenesis, as well as improved neuron maturation and axonal regeneration. The results showed locomotor function improved 60 days after transplantation, thus suggesting that GL/HA hydrogels can be considered as a promising scaffold for complete SCI repair.

Abstract
Objective. We aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of collagen membrane with umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the endoscopic repair of nasal septal perforation.Methods.We performed a prospective clinical trial between March 2017 and October 2019. Nasal septal perforations were repaired by the endoscopic sandwich technique with the collagen membrane and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. These patients were followed up postoperatively. Their outcomes were comprehensively evaluated by assessing the healing process of the perforations, the visual analog scale (VAS) for nasal discomfort, and the nasal mucociliary transit time (MTT) for the regenerated nasal mucosa.Results. Our study included a total of eight patients with nasal septal perforation (six males and two females, age 36.6 ± 12.8 years, diameter of perforation 1.0 ± 0.2 cm). Seven patients successfully underwent surgical repair. These patients had significantly improved VAS scores 1 month after the operations (1.1 ± 0.4) compared with the preoperative period (5.9 ± 0.7) (P< 0.05). Although the nasal MTT in the nasal septum and the inferior turbinate surface were within the normal limits before the operation and at 1 month after the operation, the postoperative transit time (11.1 ± 2.0 m) was significantly shorter than the preoperative transit time (12.1 ± 2.4 m) (P< 0.05). There were no recurrences of perforation, scab formations, or epistaxis after the operation.Conclusions. The application of the collagen membrane with umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells is a simple and feasible endoscopic procedure to repair perforated nasal septa and restore satisfactory functional mucosa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stimuli-responsive pesticide controlled release system provides a new strategy for the development of high-efficiency pesticides formulation. RESULTS In this article, we report a novel polydopamine surface modified MXene-Ti3 C2 Tx nanocarrier for pesticide delivery and plant protection. Polydopamine modified Ti3 C2 Tx (PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx ) nanocarrier was prepared by biomimetic self-polymerization of dopamine on the surface of Ti3 C2 Tx . A typical pesticide, emamectin benzoate (EB), was loaded on PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx through physisorption process, with a high pesticide loading rate of 45.37%. PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibited excellent photothermal conversion effect (η = 34.5%). Under the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR) laser, EB would sustained release from PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx nanocarrier to surrounding medium. Compared with free EB, EB@PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibited prolonged persistence period, which can keep antipest activity at 14 days post spraying. In addition, PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx nanocarrier and EB@PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx nanoformulation are of good safety, showing no side effect to the seed germination and seedling growth. CONCLUSION This research developed a novel nanocarrier for water-insoluble pesticide delivery, realizing NIR-responsive controlled release and sustained antipest activity.

Abstract
Objective: To identify age and gender standardized body mass index among children and adolescents and explore their associations with high blood pressure (HBP) in late adolescence. Methods: The current study was based on the Health Promotion Program for Children and Adolescents, school-based surveillance successively conducted from 2012 to 2019 in Suzhou, China. A total of 11 812 children and adolescents aged 16-18 years, who had ≥4 examination records during 2012-2018 and were also involved in a surveillance program in 2019, were included. Latent class growth mixture modeling was used to identify the BMI-Z trajectories in different genders, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between different BMI-Z trajectories and risk of HBP in late adolescence. Results: Six distinct BMI-Z trajectories were determined for both genders:thin, slightly thin,standard, declining, overweight, and obese. Compared with the regular group, the obesity group had 94.0% (OR=1.94, 95%CI: 1.43-2.63) and 107.0% (OR=2.07, 95%CI: 1.33-3.22) increased risk of developing HBP in late adolescence in boys and girls, respectively. However, a neutral association was found between the descending group and HBP in late adolescence. Conclusions: Persistent obesity in children may increase the risk of HBP in their late adolescence. If an obese child restores normal weight before late adolescence, the risk of HBP may reduce.

Abstract
Recent technological developments allow us to measure the status of dozens of proteins in individual cells. This opens the way to understand the heterogeneity of complex multi-signaling networks across cells and cell types, with important implications to understand and treat diseases such as cancer. These technologies are, however, limited to proteins for which antibodies are available and are fairly costly, making predictions of new markers and of existing markers under new conditions a valuable alternative. To assess our capacity to make such predictions and boost further methodological development, we organized the Single Cell Signaling in Breast Cancer DREAM challenge. We used a mass cytometry dataset, covering 36 markers in over 4,000 conditions totaling 80 million single cells across 67 breast cancer cell lines. Through four increasingly difficult subchallenges, the participants predicted missing markers, new conditions, and the time-course response of single cells to stimuli in the presence and absence of kinase inhibitors. The challenge results show that despite the stochastic nature of signal transduction in single cells, the signaling events are tightly controlled and machine learning methods can accurately predict new experimental data.

Abstract
A multifunctional nanomaterials based pesticide delivery system provides a powerful strategy for the efficient utilization of pesticides. We present here the application of a 2D MXene (Ti3C2) nanomaterial for pesticide delivery and plant protection. Avermectin (AV), a hydrophobic and unstable insecticide, was chosen as the model pesticide. In our study, AV@Ti3C2 was formed by fast adsorption of AV on Ti3C2, with a maximum loading capacity of 81.44%. Compared with hydrophobic AV, AV@Ti3C2 exhibited significantly improved water solubility, which is beneficial for ensuring the bioactivity of pesticide. The AV@Ti3C2 nanoformulation showed pH responsive slow-release behavior, overcoming the burst-release of conventional AV formulations. Besides, AV@Ti3C2 possessed excellent photostability under UV irradiation, which prolonged the persistent period of AV. Therefore, AV@Ti3C2 performed sustaining and enhanced antipest activity, according to the bioactivity assay. Furthermore, AV@Ti3C2 showed satisfactory biosafety, with no negative effect to the germination and growth of maize. Our current research provides a potential candidate, AV@Ti3C2, for pest control, and also broadens the application of 2D MXene materials in plant protection and sustainable agriculture.
