Abstract
Although immunotherapy has a broad clinical application prospect, it is still hindered by low immune responses and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Herein, a simple and drug-free inorganic nanomaterial, alkalescent sodium bicarbonate nanoparticles (NaHCO3 NPs), is prepared via a fast microemulsion method for amplified cancer immunotherapy. The obtained alkalescent NaHCO3 regulates lactic acid metabolism through acid-base neutralization so as to reverse the mildly acidic immunosuppressive tumor environment. Additionally, it can further release high amounts of Na+ ions inside tumor cells and induce a surge in intracellular osmolarity, and thus activate the pyroptosis pathway and immunogenic cell death (ICD), release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and inflammatory factors, and improve immune responses. Collectively, NaHCO3 NPs observably inhibit primary/distal tumor growth and tumor metastasis through acid neutralization remitted immunosuppression and pyroptosis induced immune activation, showing an enhanced antitumor immunity efficiency. This work provides a new paradigm for lactic acid metabolism and pyroptosis mediated tumor treatment, which has a potential for application in clinical tumor immunotherapy.

[PMID: 37566964 PMCID: PMC10440571 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Traditional Chinese herbs have been widely researched as a green, safe, and effective feed additive for poultry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of traditional Chinese prescription (TCP) based on various herbs in a specific ratio on the growth performance, carcass traits, immunity, antioxidant level, and intestinal health of Ningdu yellow chickens. A total of 420 female Ningdu yellow chickens were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 6 replicates of 14 each. The chickens were fed with a basal diet supplemented with 0 (CON), 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, or 0.8% TCP from d 43 to 105. Body weight, feed intake, and serum biochemical indicators were recorded at d 70 and 105, intestinal morphology and microflora of the carcass were determined at d 105. Compared to the control group, chickens fed with TCP, particularly at the level of 0.6%, showed improved average daily gain and breast muscle percentage, as well as a lower feed-to-gain ratio with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Between 43 and 70 d of age, chickens fed with TCP exhibited higher levels of serum glutathione peroxidase activity, total antioxidant capacity, and superoxide dismutase, particularly in the group fed with the 0.6% level of TCP (P < 0.05). Between 43 and 105 d of age, feeding chickens with 0.4 and 0.6% TCP resulted in a decrease in serum IL-2 concentration, and increase in the IL-4 content (P < 0.05). Chickens fed with 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8% TCP had significantly higher jejunum villous height (P < 0.05), TCP supplementation also led to a marked increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroidota compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Collectively, the study suggests that TCP supplementation can enhance immune and antioxidant functions, improve jejunum morphology, and positively impact cecum microflora in chickens. Based on these results, a level of 0.6% TCP could be considered an optimum level as a feed supplement for Ningdu yellow chickens aged 43 to 105 d.

Intravenous versus super-selected intra-arterial chemotherapy in children with advanced unilateral retinoblastoma: an open-label, multicentre, randomised trial. THE LANCET. CHILD & ADOLESCENT HEALTH 2023; 7:613-620. [PMID: 37536351 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-4642(23)00141-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Super-selected intra-arterial chemotherapy has increasingly been used as conservative management for retinoblastoma during the past decade. However, the absence of evidence from randomised controlled trials engendered controversy in the administration route of chemotherapy. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial chemotherapy compared with intravenous chemotherapy. METHODS This open-label, multicentre, randomised trial was done at six hospitals in China. Patients with new-onset unilateral group D or E retinoblastoma (poorly defined, large, or very large tumours, according to the International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification) without high-risk clinical factors were included. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive intra-arterial chemotherapy (injections of 0·5 mg/kg [or depending on age] melphalan with 20 mg carboplatin [first and third cycles] or with 1 mg topotecan [second and fourth cycles]) or intravenous chemotherapy (0·05 mg/kg [or 1·5 mg/m2] vincristine, 5 mg/kg [or 150 mg/m2] etoposide, and 18·6 mg/kg [or 560 mg/m2] carboplatin for six cycles). After intra-arterial chemotherapy, patients received a subcutaneous injection of 0·1 mL nadroparin calcium twice at a 12 h interval. Both intra-arterial and intravenous chemotherapy cycles were completed every 4 weeks. No masking was done, except of independent statisticians, who were masked to the allocation information. The primary outcome was 2-year progression-free globe salvage rate, defined as the time from randomisation to tumour progression or enucleation, whichever occurred first, and was analysed by intention to treat. We also recorded predefined safety outcomes (myelosuppression and ophthalmic arterial stenosis or occlusion) and severe adverse events likely to be related to study treatment. The study is registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-IPR-15006469, and is complete. FINDINGS Between June 1, 2015, and June 1, 2018, 234 patients with newly diagnosed retinoblastoma were screened and 143 eligible patients (median age 23·6 months [IQR 14·0-31·9]) were enrolled and randomly assigned to the intra-arterial chemotherapy group (n=72) or the intravenous chemotherapy group (n=71). At a median follow-up of 35·8 months (IQR 28·4-43·0), the 2-year progression-free globe salvage rate was 53% (38 of 72 patients) in the intra-arterial chemotherapy group and 27% (19 of 71 patients) in the intravenous chemotherapy group (risk ratio 1·97, 95% CI 1·27-3·07, p=0·0020). Myelosuppression was less common in the intra-arterial chemotherapy group than in the intravenous chemotherapy group (37 [51%] of 72 patients vs 50 [70%] of 71 patients; 0·73, 95% CI 0·56-0·96, p=0·021) and less severe (ptrend=0·0070). In the intra-arterial chemotherapy group, two (3%) of 72 patients had ophthalmic artery occlusion and 13 (18%) patients had ophthalmic artery stenosis. INTERPRETATION Our findings show that intra-arterial chemotherapy could significantly improve the globe salvage rate in children with advanced unilateral retinoblastoma compared with intravenous chemotherapy, with mild systemic complications and no difference in overall survival rate. Intra-arterial chemotherapy could be an acceptable first-line treatment in children with advanced unilateral retinoblastoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is a class of diseases that makes seriously endanger to the vision of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. This study aims to observe the visual function changes in patients with DON, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of indicators diagnosing DON. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 98 eyes of 49 patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) who were treated in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2017 to December 2019. All patients were received the examination of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Humphrey visual field, visual evoked potential (VEP), and contrast sensitivity. Ninety-eight eyes were divided into a DON group (45 eyes) and a non-DON group (53 eyes). T-test was used to compare the related indicators between the 2 groups. The sensitivity and specificity of each indicator were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS The BCVA and visual field index (VFI) of the DON group were significantly lower than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05). The mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD) of the DON group were significantly higher than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05). The low frequency contrast sensitivity (CSL), medium frequency contrast sensitivity (CSM), and high frequency contrast sensitivity (CSH) of the DON group were significantly lower than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05), with CSH being particularly prominent. Compared with the non-DON group, at spatial frequencies of 15°, 30°, and 60°, the amplitude of N135 wave was significantly reduced, and the latency of N75 wave, P100 wave, and N135 wave was significantly prolonged in the DON group (all P<0.05); at spatial frequencies of 15° and 30°, the amplitude of P100 wave was significantly reduced in the DON group (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of VFI, CSL, CSM, CSH and 15° P100 amplitude diagnosing DON were 0.812, 0.841, 0.880, 0.784, and 0.791, respectively, with CSM possessing the highest sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSIONS The visual function of patients with DON is decreased. VFI, contrast sensitivity of low, medium, and high frequency, and 15° P100 wave amplitude might be effective indicators for early diagnosis of DON.

Abstract
Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering because of their excellent biological and physical properties. Here, we used a microfluidic flow-focusing chip based on polymethyl methacrylate to fabricate cell-laden GelMA hydrogel microspheres. Structures of the throat region and photo crosslinking region on the chip, flow rate ratio of GelMA and oil phase, and GelMA concentration were optimized to obtain the stable and suitable size of microspheres. Cell-laden GelMA microspheres can be cryopreserved by slow freezing and rapid freezing. The survival rate of encapsulated cells after rapid freezing was significantly higher than that of unencapsulated cells. There was no significant difference between the results of the rapid freezing of encapsulated cells with 5% DMSO and the traditional slow freezing of suspended cells with 10% DMSO. It demonstrates the possibility that GelMA hydrogel itself can replace some of the cryoprotective agents and has some protective effect on cells. Our study provides new ideas to optimize GelMA hydrogels for cell cryopreservation, facilitating the off-the-shelf availability of tissue-engineered constructs.

Abstract
Poultry is one of the most commonly farmed species and the most widespread meat industries. However, numerous poultry flocks have been long threatened by pathogenic bacterial infections, especially antimicrobial resistant pathogens. Here the prevalence and the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of bacterial pathogens isolated from poultry in Jiangxi Province, China were investigated. From 2020 to 2022, 283 tissue and liquid samples were collected from clinically diseased poultry, including duck, chicken, and goose, with an overall positive isolation rate of 62.90%. Among all the 219 bacterial isolates, 29 strains were gram-positive and 190 strains were gram-negative. Major bacteria species involved were avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC; 57.53%; 126/219), followed by Salmonella spp. (11.87%, 26/219), Pasteurella multocida (6.39%, 14/219), and Staphylococcus spp. (1.22%, 11/219). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed the APEC isolates displayed considerably higher levels of AMR than the Salmonella and P. multocida isolates. The APEC isolates showed high resistance rate to amoxicillin (89.68%), ampicillin (89.68%), and florfenicol (83.33%), followed by streptomycin (75.40%), cefradine (65.87%), and enrofloxacin (64.29%). Multidrug-resistant isolates were observed in APEC (99.21%), Salmonella spp. (96.16%), and P. multocida (85.71%), and nearly 3 quarters of the APEC strains were resistant to 7 or more categories of antimicrobial drugs. Moreover, blaNDM genes associated with carbapenemase resistance and mcr-1 associated with colisitin resistance were detected in the APEC isolates. Our findings could provide evidence-based guidance for veterinarians to prevent and control bacterial diseases, and be helpful for monitoring the emerging and development of AMR in poultry bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
Osteoporotic fracture is one of the most serious complications of osteoporosis. Most fracture sites have bone defects, and restoring the balance between local osteogenesis and bone destruction is difficult during the repair of osteoporotic bone defects. In this study, we successfully fabricated three-dimensional (3D)-printed biodegradable magnesium alloy (Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr) scaffolds and prepared a zoledronic acid-loaded ceramic composite coating on the surface of the scaffolds. The osteogenic effect of Mg and the osteoclast inhibition effect of zoledronic acid were combined to promote osteoporotic bone defect repair. In vitro degradation and drug release experiments showed that the coating significantly reduced the degradation rate of 3D-printed Mg alloy scaffolds and achieved a slow release of loaded drugs. The degradation products of drug-loaded coating scaffolds can promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as well as inhibit the formation of osteoclasts and the bone resorption by regulating the expression of related genes. Compared with the uncoated scaffolds, the drug-coated scaffolds degraded at a slower rate, and more new bone grew into these scaffolds. The healing rate and quality of the osteoporotic bone defects significantly improved in the drug-coated scaffold group. This study provides a new method for theoretical research and clinical treatment using functional materials for repairing osteoporotic bone defects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple revascularisation strategies with or without cardiac arrest have been developed to minimise the negative effects of cardiopulmonary bypass interventions during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Several observational and randomised studies have evaluated the efficacy of these interventions. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of four prevalent revascularisation strategies with/without cardiopulmonary bypass interventions in CABG surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomised controlled trials and observational cohort studies comparing outcomes of CABG surgery under conventional on-pump, off-pump, on-pump beating heart and minimal extracorporeal circulation technology. All English articles published before 30 November 2022 will be considered. The primary outcome will be 30-day mortality. The secondary outcomes will be various early and late adverse events after CABG surgery. The Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale will be used to assess the quality of included articles. A random-effects pairwise meta-analysis will be performed to report the head-to-head comparison. Then, the network meta-analysis will be performed using a Bayesian framework with random-effects models. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This research does not require the approval of an ethics committee as it relies on reviewing literature and does not involve dealing with humans or animals. The findings of this review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023381279.

Abstract
Gd54Fe36B10-xSix (x = 0, 2, 5, 8, 10) amorphous ribbons were fabricated by melt-spinning technique. Based on the molecular field theory, the magnetic exchange interaction was analyzed by constructing the two-sublattice model and deriving the exchange constants JGdGd, JGdFe and JFeFe. It was revealed that appropriate substitution content of Si for B can improve the thermal stability, maximum magnetic entropy change and widened table-like magnetocaloric effect of the alloys, while excessive Si will lead to the split of the crystallization exothermal peak, inflection-like magnetic transition and deterioration of magnetocaloric properties. These phenomena are probably correlated to the stronger atomic interaction of Fe-Si than that of Fe-B, which induced the compositional fluctuation or localized heterogeneity and then caused the different way of electron transfer and nonlinear variation in magnetic exchange constants, magnetic transition behavior and magnetocaloric performance. This work analyzes the effect of exchange interaction on magnetocaloric properties of Gd-TM amorphous alloys in detail.

Abstract
Background The retinal microvascular density changes have been identified in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients. Whereas a lack of research has been done on the diagnostic ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) combined with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters. Objectives This study aims to evaluate the retina perfusion variations in eyes with active and stable TAO and its diagnostic abilities using OCT and OCTA. Design This is cohort longitudinal retrospective study. Methods A total of 51 patients with TAO and 39 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. The TAO eyes were divided into active and stable stage groups. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ), macular perfusion density (mPD), and peripapillary PD were measured by OCTA. The peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), central retinal thickness (CRT), and whole macular volume (wMV) were measured by OCT. Visual evoked potential (VEP) and visual field (VF) were also assessed. Results The mPD of the superficial retinal capillary plexus (SRCP) was significantly different in all subfields among active, stable, and HC groups (p < 0.05) except for the temporal inner (p = 0.137), and the active group achieved the lowest PD. The FAZ size increased significantly in the active and stable groups compared with the HC group (p < 0.001). Significant difference was observed in mPD of deep retinal capillary plexus (DRCP) in all quadrants among three groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, PD parameters of optic nerve head (ONH) and radial peripapillary capillary plexus (RPCP) showed a different trend among three groups (p < 0.05). The r-value of visual field-mean deviation (VF-MD) of TAO with DRCP-whole PD (wPD) and RPCP-wPD was 0.421 and 0.299, respectively (p < 0.05). The DRCP-wPD in OCTA and RNFL in OCT were significantly higher in area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) than that of HC eyes. Conclusion OCT and OCTA can noninvasively detect the peripapillary and macular changes in various stages of TAO patients, and it might be a high diagnostic value tool to monitor the TAO progression.

Abstract
The mixed infection of duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) and goose astrovirus (GoAstV) is an important problem that endangers the goose industry. Although quantitative PCR has been widely used in monitoring these two viruses, there is no reliable method to detect them at the same time. In this study, by analyzing the published genomes of DTMUV and goose astrovirus genotype 2 (GoAstV-2) isolated in China, we found that both viruses have high conservation, showing 96.5 to 99.5% identities within different strains of DTMUV and GoAstV, respectively. Subsequently, PCR primers and TaqMan probes were designed to identify DTMUV and GoAstV-2, and different fluorescent reporters were given to two probes for differential diagnosis. Through the optimization and verification, this study finally developed a duplex TaqMan qPCR method that can simultaneously detect the above two viruses. The lower limits of detection were 100 copies/μL and 10 copies/μL for DTMUV and GoAstV-2 under optimal condition. The assay was also highly specific in detecting one or two viruses in various combinations in specimens, and provide tool for clinical diagnosis of mixed infections of viruses in goose.

Abstract
The desirable curative effect in clinical immunotherapy has been challenging due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) with high lactic acid (LA) metabolism in solid tumors. Although targeting metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells can restore the survival and function of immune cells in the TME, it is also plagued by insufficient immunogenicity. Herein, an activatable immunomodulatory nanoadjuvant CuSe/CoSe2@syrosingopine (CSC@Syro) is constructed for simultaneously relieving immunosuppressive TME and boosting tumor immune response. Specifically, CuSe/CoSe2 (CSC) exhibits TME-activated glutathione (GSH) depletion and hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation for potential ferroptosis. Meanwhile, the remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency and elevated photocatalytic ROS level both promote CSC heterostructures to induce robust immunogenic cell death (ICD). Besides, the loaded syrosingopine inhibitor achieves LA metabolism blockade in cancer cells by downregulating the expression of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), which could sensitize ferroptosis by intracellular milieu acidification and neutralize the acidic TME to alleviate immunosuppression. Hence, advanced metabolic modulation confers the potentiated immune infiltration of ICD-stimulated T lymphocytes and further reinforces antitumor therapy. In brief, CSC@Syro-mediated synergistic therapy could elicit potent immunogenicity and suppress tumor proliferation and metastasis effectually by integrating the tumor metabolic regulation and ferroptosis with immunotherapy.

Abstract
1. As RIPK2 (receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2) has been shown to to alleviate excessive inflammatory responses, the following study conducted a systematic and in-depth analysis of the mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq data from chicken macrophages with/without over-expression of RIPK2 (oeRIPK2) combined with/without avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) infection to identify the miRNA-mRNA interaction network and potential signalling pathways involved.2. A total of 9,201 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs and 300 DE miRNA were identified in both oeRIPK2+APEC vs. APEC and oeRIPK2 vs. the wild-type (WT). Moreover, 4,269 instances of co-expression between miRNAs and mRNAs were seen involving 1,652 DE mRNAs and 164 DE miRNAs.3. Functional analysis of the DE mRNAs in the miRNA-mRNA interaction network showed that 223 biological processes and five KEGG pathways were significantly enriched in the two comparisons. In total, 128 pairs of miRNA-mRNA interactions were involved in the identified MAPK signalling pathway and focal adhesion immune related pathways.4. Significantly, these screened miRNAs (gga-miR-222b-5p and gga-miR-214) and their target genes were highly correlated with APEC infection and RIPK2. These recognised key genes, miRNA and the overall miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, enables better understanding of the molecular mechanism of host response to APEC infection, especially related to RIPK2.

Abstract
Deciphering non-canonical WNT signaling has proven to be both fascinating and challenging. Discovered almost 30 years ago, non-canonical WNT ligands signal independently of the transcriptional co-activator β-catenin to regulate a wide range of morphogenetic processes during development. The molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie non-canonical WNT function, however, remain nebulous. Recent results from various model systems have converged to define a core non-canonical WNT pathway consisting of the prototypic non-canonical WNT ligand, WNT5A, the receptor tyrosine kinase ROR, the seven transmembrane receptor Frizzled and the cytoplasmic scaffold protein Dishevelled. Importantly, mutations in each of these signaling components cause Robinow syndrome, a congenital disorder characterized by profound tissue morphogenetic abnormalities. Moreover, dysregulation of the pathway has also been linked to cancer metastasis. As new knowledge concerning the WNT5A-ROR pathway continues to grow, modeling these mutations will likely provide crucial insights into both the physiological regulation of the pathway and the etiology of WNT5A-ROR-driven diseases.

Abstract
3D-printed biofunctional scaffolds have promising applications in bone tissue regeneration. However, the development of bioinks with rapid internal vascularization capabilities and relatively sustained osteoinductive bioactivity is the primary technical challenge. In this work, we added rat platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to a methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)/methacrylated alginate (AlgMA) system, which was further modified by a nanoclay, laponite (Lap). We found that Lap was effective in retarding the release of multiple growth factors from the PRP-GelMA/AlgMA (PRP-GA) hydrogel and sustained the release for up to 2 weeks. Our in vitro studies showed that the PRP-GA@Lap hydrogel significantly promoted the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, accelerated the formation of endothelial cell vascular patterns, and promoted macrophage M2 polarization. Furthermore, we printed hydrogel bioink with polycaprolactone (PCL) layer-by-layer to form active bone repair scaffolds and implanted them in subcutaneous and femoral condyle defects in rats. In vivo experiments showed that the PRP-GA@Lap/PCL scaffolds significantly promoted vascular inward growth and enhanced bone regeneration at the defect site. This work suggests that PRP-based 3D-bioprinted vascularized scaffolds will have great potential for clinical translation in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Although zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been applied in various tumor therapies, the intrinsic immunogenicity remains unclear. Here, we initiatively discover that ZIF-8 nanoparticles (NPs) can intrinsically induce pyroptosis by a caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent pathway. The pyroptotic cell death is accompanied by necrosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD) simultaneously for efficient in situ immunity initiation. Meanwhile, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP), a mitochondrial depolarizing agent, is successfully loaded into ZIF-8 NPs and found to further enhance the pyroptosis process. Collectively, the obtained Pluronic F127-modified CCCP-incorporated ZIF-8 NPs (F127 ZIF-8CCCP NPs) activate antitumor immunity and reprogram immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), realizing high-efficiency tumor growth inhibition. This work will facilitate biomedicine applications of ZIF-8 and provide good inspiration for pyroptosis-induced cancer therapy.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities are increasing the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2); around a third of the CO2 emitted by these activities has been taken up by the ocean. Nevertheless, this marine ecosystem service of regulation remains largely invisible to society, and not enough is known about regional differences and trends in sea-air CO2 fluxes (FCO2), especially in the Southern Hemisphere. The objectives of this work were as follows: first to put values of FCO2 integrated over the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of five Latin-American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela) into perspective regarding total country-level greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Second, to assess the variability of two main biological factors affecting FCO2 at marine ecological time series (METS) in these areas. FCO2 over the EEZs were estimated using the NEMO model, and GHG emissions were taken from reports to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. For each METS, the variability in phytoplankton biomass (indexed by chlorophyll-a concentration, Chla) and abundance of different cell sizes (phy-size) were analyzed at two time periods (2000-2015 and 2007-2015). Estimates of FCO2 at the analyzed EEZs showed high variability among each other and non-negligible values in the context of greenhouse gas emissions. The trends observed at the METS indicated, in some cases, an increase in Chla (e.g., EPEA-Argentina) and a decrease in others (e.g., IMARPE-Peru). Evidence of increasing populations of small size-phytoplankton was observed (e.g., EPEA-Argentina, Ensenada-Mexico), which would affect the carbon export to the deep ocean. These results highlight the relevance of ocean health and its ecosystem service of regulation when discussing carbon net emissions and budgets.

Introduction
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a known complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and other cardiomyopathies. LVT increases the risk of stroke and systemic embolism, hence treatment with oral anticoagulation is indicated. While the initial treatment options for LVT is clear, the management of patients after the initial duration of anticoagulation is more complex and varied.
Purpose
We aimed to undertake a comprehensive literature review to study the currently available evidence regarding not only the initial type and duration of anticoagulation for LVT, but also potential treatment options after the initial period of anticoagulation in the setting of both LVT persistence and resolution.
Methods
MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to August 2022. Data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational studies and case series discussing management of LVT were included in this summarized synthesis.
Results
Of 2050 studies screened, 30 studies (24 observational studies, 3 case series, 2 RCTs, 1 non-randomized, open-label trial) were included. A total of 17 studies compared warfarin with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for the initial anticoagulation strategy, with the vast majority showing similar outcomes (Table 1). Half (n = 9/18) of the studies repeated imaging between 3-6 months. All studies (n=30) used transthoracic echo with or without contrast as the imaging modality of choice, with selected patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). If the LVT persisted, most studies recommended continuing anticoagulation (n = 11/16, 69%) or switching to a different class of anticoagulants (n = 6/16, 38%). In the event of LVT non-resolution, high-risk features of embolization (protruding, mobile vs layered clot) may aid in the discussion of risk and benefit of long-term anticoagulation. Even upon resolution of the LVT, some studies (n=5) recommend continuing anticoagulation in the presence of high-risk features of recurrence (eg. persistently depressed left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) and/or apical wall dyskinesis). Regardless, medical management should be optimized together with the appropriate revascularization strategy as clinically indicated.
Conclusions
Current evidence on the management of LVT is limited. This updated review summarizes the available evidence for the management for LVT. Evidence-based recommendations on the management of these patients is warranted to appropriately guide clinicians.

Abstract
Mechanical signals from extracellular matrix stiffness are important cues that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, the incorporation of BMSCs into soft hydrogels and the dominance of soft matrices for BMSC growth and differentiation limit the directed differentiation of BMSCs incorporated into hydrogels for tissue engineering, especially osteogenesis. Here, we found that the expression of miR-99b increased with increasing hydrogel stiffness and that miR-99b regulated the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs seeded on the surface of substrates with different stiffnesses. Furthermore, miR-99b significantly promoted the migration of BMSCs in 3D hydrogels. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that matrix stiffness-sensitive miR-99b targets the mammalian target of the rapamycin signaling pathway to regulate the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In addition, by modulating the expression of miR-99b, the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in soft 3D hydrogels was promoted. Consistently, the flexible BMSC-GelMA hydrogel transfected with miR-99b significantly promoted bone regeneration in the rat calvarial defect area. These results suggest that miR-99b plays a key role in the mechanotransduction and phenotypic transformation of BMSCs and may inspire new tissue engineering applications with MSCs as key components.

The relationship between the sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19 and the improvement of medical students' professional identity: mediation by medical students' attention to COVID-19. BMC MEDICAL EDUCATION 2023; 23:27.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of COVID-19 highlights the shortage of human medical resources, and improving medical students' professional identity is crucial to improving this situation. The sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19 and medical students' attention to COVID-19 were significant factors affecting their professional identity. However, no study has investigated the mediating role of medical students' attention to COVID-19 in their relationship. This study investigates the relationship between these three factors in three medical university students in Hunan Province. METHODS A cross-sectional survey study that used convenience sampling method was conducted on 2775 medical students from three universities in the Hunan Province of China from March 15 to April 19, 2020. An intermediary model was established to evaluate the role of medical students' attention to COVID-19 in the sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19 and the improvement of medical students' professional identity. RESULTS The sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19, medical students' attention to national crisis events, and the improvement of medical students' professional identity was positively associated with each other (β = 0.328 ~ 0.464, P < 0.001). The mediating effect accounted for 23.3% of the total effect and 30.4% of the direct effect. Medical students' attention to COVID-19 partially mediates the relationship between the sources of confidence to overcome COVID-19 and the improvement of medical students' professional identity. CONCLUSIONS This study found that the sources of confidence in overcoming COVID-19 and medical students' attention to national crisis events have a significant predictive effect on the improvement of medical students' professional identity. Medical students' attention to COVID-19 mediated the relationship between the sources of confidence to overcome COVID-19 and the improvement of medical students' professional identity. The findings have emphasized the theoretical and practical significance of professional identity education for medical students.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Brunei Dialysis and Transplant Registry (BDTR) recorded data on patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) from 2011 to 2020, mainly for planning of services and benchmarking of standards. We report the trends of epidemiologic and performance parameters, compare performances between modalities of Kidney Replacement Therapy and evaluate the survival of ESKD patients over the 10-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three groups of data were analysed from the BDTR over the 10-year period. Epidemiological data, blood parameters and dialysis are key performance indicators. RESULTS There are increments in prevalence and incidence of treated ESKD patients in Brunei over 10 years, especially with haemodialysis (HD). The projected prevalence and incidence showed an anticipated annual increase of 42.2 per million population (pmp) and 9.9 pmp respectively. Diabetes mellitus (DM) (79%) was the main cause of ESKD. HD (86%), peritoneal dialysis (PD) (9%) and transplant (5%) were the main modalities of kidney replacement therapy in 2020. Cumulative results over the decade showed significant improvements in serum phosphate, peritonitis rates and HD blood flow rates. PD patients have better survival rates, lower systolic blood pressure and better adequacy. PD survival (patient survival of 91%, 73% and 56% at 1, 3 and 5 years respectively) was superior to HD survival (86% and 64% at 1 and 2 years, respectively), but patient demographics (age and DM status) were different. The 2020 dataset showed satisfactory anaemia management but mineral bone disease management was sub-optimal. Seventy percent of prevalent HD patients had arteriovenous fistula access. Thirty-two percent and fifty-two percent of HD and PD patients, respectively, achieved target dialysis adequacy. Peritonitis rate was 0.3 episodes per patient year. CONCLUSION Brunei has a high incidence and prevalence of treated ESKD in the last decade, especially DM-related ESKD. This study has identified many specific areas to be targeted for improvements and provided evidence for further proliferation of PD and transplant preference policy.

Abstract
Purpose To study the independent risk factors for development of different degrees of diabetic retinopathy (DR) as well as non-DR (NDR) among type 2 diabetic patients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 218 patients with type 2 diabetes between January 2022 and June 2022. All the patients were divided into two groups: the DR group and the NDR group. The DR group was subdivided into the mild, moderate and severe non-proliferative DR (NPDR) group and the proliferative DR (PDR) group. Data recorded for all patients included age, gender, duration of diabetes, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and renal function. Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the risk factors for DR. Results The prevalence of DR in type 2 diabetes was 28.44%. The duration of diabetes, age, mean arterial pressure (MAP), HbA1c, FBG, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), BCVA, AL, and ACD were significantly different between the DR and the NDR groups (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, FBG, UACR, and AL as the independent risk factors for DR (OR = 0.843, 2.376, 1.049, 0.005; p = 0.034, 0.014, 0.016, p < 0.001). Conclusion Young age, short AL, higher levels of FBG and UACR were the independent risk factors for the progression of DR in type 2 diabetes.
