Abstract
The most significant aspect of promoting greenhouse productivity is the timely monitoring of disease spores and applying proactive control measures. This paper introduces a method to classify spores of airborne disease in greenhouse crops by using fingerprint characteristics of diffraction-polarized images and machine learning. Initially, a diffraction-polarization imaging system was established, and the diffraction fingerprint images of disease spores were taken in polarization directions of 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°. Subsequently, the diffraction-polarization images were processed, wherein the fingerprint features of the spore diffraction-polarization images were extracted. Finally, a support vector machine (SVM) classification algorithm was used to classify the disease spores. The study's results indicate that the diffraction-polarization imaging system can capture images of disease spores. Different spores all have their own unique diffraction-polarization fingerprint characteristics. The identification rates of tomato gray mold spores, cucumber downy mold spores and cucumber powdery mildew spores were 96.02%, 94.94% and 96.57%, respectively. The average identification rate of spores was 95.85%. This study can provide a research basis for the identification and classification of disease spores.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network related to long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) via the bioinformatics analysis, reveal the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CAD) and develop new biomarkers for CAD. The gene expression datasets of peripheral blood of CAD were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs (DEmRNAs, DEmiRNAs and DElncRNAs) were identified. Subsequently, a ceRNA network involving lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs was built. Moreover, DElncRNAs in the cytoplasm were screened and a DElncRNA-associated ceRNA network was established. In total, 1860 DEmRNAs, 393 DElncRNAs and 20 DEmiRNAs were filtrated in patients with CAD compared with normal controls. Functional analysis suggested that DEmRNAs significantly enriched in CAD-related pathways, such as PI3K-Akt signaling pathways and MAPK signaling pathway. The ceRNA network contained 12 DEmiRNAs, 30 DElncRNAs and 537 DEmRNAs. Afterwards, the cytoplasm ceRNA network was consisted of 537 DEmRNAs, 12 DEmiRNAs and 12 DElncRNAs. Such as, up-regulated LncRNA-HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) was interacted with down-regulated has-miR-326 and has-miR-1. The successful construction of lncRNA-associated ceRNA network is helpful to better clarify the pathogenesis of CAD and provide potential peripheral blood biomarkers for CAD.

Abstract
Ubiquitination genes are key components of plant responses to biotic stress. GmPUB20A, a ubiquitination gene, plays a negative role in soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN). In this study, we employed high-throughput sequencing to investigate transcriptional changes in GmPUB20A overexpressing and RNA-interfering transgenic hairy roots. Totally, 7661 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses revealed that DEGs were significantly enriched in disease resistance and signal transduction pathways. In addition, silencing Glyma.15G021600 and Glyma.09G284700 by siRNA, the total number of nematodes was decreased by 33.48% and 27.47% than control plants, respectively. Further, GUS activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays revealed that GmPUB20A, Glyma.15G021600, and Glyma.09G284700 respond to SCN parasitism and interfere with the accumulation of ROS in plant roots, respectively. Collectively, our study provides insights into the molecular mechanism of GmPUB20A in soybean resistance to SCN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy in the gastrointestinal tract. Keloid refers to abnormal scar tissue that forms on the skin or mucous membrane. The relationship between RRP9 and DDX21 and the two diseases is unclear. METHODS Download the colorectal cancer dataset GSE134834, GSE206800, GSE209892 and keloid dataset GSE44270 from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed. The construction and analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, functional enrichment analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Gene expression heat map was drawn. The comparative toxicogenomics database (CTD) analysis was performed to find diseases most related to core genes. TargetScan screened miRNAs that regulated central DEGs. We conducted experimental validation using Western blotting and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). RESULTS In the colorectal cancer dataset and the scar tissue dataset, we identified 1380 DEGs and 1000 DEGs, respectively. The enrichment pattern for scar tissue was similar to that of colorectal cancer. We identified two core genes, RRP9 and DDX21. CTD analysis indicated that RRP9 and DDX21 are associated with proliferation, scar tissue, colorectal tumors, scleroderma, and inflammation. We found that the core genes (RRP9 and DDX21) were highly expressed in colorectal cancer and scar tissue samples, while their expression was lower in normal samples. This was further validated through Western blotting (WB) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). CONCLUSIONS The higher the expression of RRP9 and DDX21 in colorectal cancer and keloid, the worse the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Astragalus grows mainly in drought areas. Cycloastragenol (CAG) is a tetracyclic triterpenoid allelochemical extracted from traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus root. Phospholipase C (PLC) and Gα-submit of the heterotrimeric G-protein (GPA1) are involved in many biotic or abiotic stresses. Nitric oxide (NO) is a crucial gas signal molecule in plants. RESULTS In this study, using the seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana), the results showed that low concentrations of CAG induced stomatal closure, and high concentrations inhibited stomatal closure. 30 µmol·L-1 CAG significantly increased the relative expression levels of PLC1 and GPA1 and the activities of PLC and GTP hydrolysis. The stomatal aperture of plc1, gpa1, and plc1/gpa1 was higher than that of WT under CAG treatment. CAG increased the fluorescence intensity of NO in guard cells. Exogenous application of c-PTIO to WT significantly induced stomatal aperture under CAG treatment. CAG significantly increased the relative expression levels of NIA1 and NOA1. Mutants of noa1, nia1, and nia2 showed that NO production was mainly from NOA1 and NIA1 by CAG treatment. The fluorescence intensity of NO in guard cells of plc1, gpa1, and plc1/gpa1 was lower than WT, indicating that PLC1 and GPA1 were involved in the NO production in guard cells. There was no significant difference in the gene expression of PLC1 in WT, nia1, and noa1 under CAG treatment. The gene expression levels of NIA1 and NOA1 in plc1, gpa1, and plc1/gpa1 were significantly lower than WT, indicating that PLC1 and GPA1 were positively regulating NO production by regulating the expression of NIA1 and NOA1 under CAG treatment. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that the NO accumulation was essential to induce stomatal closure under CAG treatment, and GPA1 and PLC1 acted upstream of NO.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) pervade and accumulate within the soil, exerting influences not only on plant growth and development but also on human health through the food chain. However, recent studies on the effects of MPs/NPs on plants yield diverse results. Thus, this study conducts a meta-analysis of 101 recent publications to summarize the influence of type, size, and concentration of MPs/NPs on physiological responses, photosynthetic pigments, and biochemical reactions in various plant species. The findings indicate that the effects of MPs/NPs on plants vary depending on the specific plant species. The impact of different polymer types of MPs/NPs on plants does not show a clear trend, possibly due to variations in polymer functional groups. However, it is noteworthy that polyethylene terephthalate with phenyl groups exhibits the most significant effect on plant fresh weight, chlorophyll a and b, and H2O2 content among all microplastic types. Moreover, MPs exhibit stronger inhibition on most physiological, photosynthetic pigments, and biochemical indicators of plants compared to NPs, although root length, chlorophyll, and H2O2 demonstrate opposite effects. The concentration of MPs/NPs elicits different responses on plant indicators, each with specific trends. Notably, exposure to MPs/NPs stimulates an increase in plant biochemical enzyme indicators. Finally, this study identifies current knowledge gaps and offers insights for future research directions.

Abstract
Cell viability assessment is critical, yet existing assessments are not accurate enough. We report a cell viability evaluation method based on the metabolic ability of a single cell. Without culture medium, we measured the absorption of cells to terahertz laser beams, which could target a single cell. The cell viability was assessed with a convolution neural classification network based on cell morphology. We established a cell viability assessment model based on the THz-AS (terahertz-absorption spectrum) results as y = a = (x - b)c, where x is the terahertz absorbance and y is the cell viability, and a, b, and c are the fitting parameters of the model. Under water stress the changes in terahertz absorbance of cells corresponded one-to-one with the apoptosis process, and we propose a cell 0 viability definition as terahertz absorbance remains unchanged based on the cell metabolic mechanism. Compared with typical methods, our method is accurate, label-free, contact-free, and almost interference-free and could help visualize the cell apoptosis process for broad applications including drug screening.

Abstract
β-carotene is known to have pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties. However, its main mechanism and related signaling pathways in the treatment of inflammation are still unclear. In this study, component target prediction was performed by using literature retrieval and the SwissTargetPrediction database. Disease targets were collected from various databases, including DisGeNET, OMIM, Drug Bank, and GeneCards. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and enrichment analysis of gene ontology and biological pathways was carried out for important targets. The analysis showed that there were 191 unique targets of β-carotene after removing repeat sites. A total of 2067 targets from the three databases were integrated, 58 duplicate targets were removed, and 2009 potential disease action targets were obtained. Biological function enrichment analysis revealed 284 biological process (BP) entries, 31 cellular component (CC) entries, 55 molecular function (MF) entries, and 84 cellular pathways. The biological processes were mostly associated with various pathways and their regulation, whereas the cell components were mainly membrane components. The main molecular functions included RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, DNA binding specific to the ligand activation sequence, DNA binding, steroid binding sequence-specific DNA binding, enzyme binding, and steroid hormone receptors. The pathways involved in the process included the TNF signaling pathway, sphingomyelin signaling pathway, and some disease pathways. Lastly, the anti-inflammatory signaling pathway of β-carotene was systematically analyzed using network pharmacology, while the molecular mechanism of β-carotene was further explored by molecular docking. In this study, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of β-carotene was preliminarily explored and predicted by bioinformatics methods, and further experiments will be designed to verify and confirm the predicted results, in order to finally reveal the anti-inflammatory mechanism of β-carotene.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To study the prognostic factors of patients with chest pain and without obstructive coronary artery disease is of great significance for the management of such patients. We assessed whether a high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) is associated with prognosis in patients with chest pain and without obstructive coronary artery disease. METHODS From 2011 to 2017, 489 consecutively hospitalized patients with chest pain and without significant coronary artery stenosis (<50%) were tested for hs-TnI and underwent stress myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE). Myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR) was measured by stress MCE. Patients were followed (median, 41 months) for composite endpoints, including cardiovascular death and non-fatal myocardial infarction. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to determine associations between hs-TnI and the composite endpoints. RESULTS Among 489 patients with chest pain and without significant coronary artery stenosis, 257 patients (52.6%) had elevated hs-TnI. Compared to patients with normal hs-TnI, patients with elevated hs-TnI were older (p = 0.013) and had a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (p = 0.003), higher left ventricular mass index (p = 0.002) and E/e' septal (p < 0.001), and a lower MBFR (p < 0.001). After adjustment, there was still a significant association between hs-TnI and MBFR (odds ratio = 1.145; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.079-1.214; p < 0.001). Compared with patients with normal hs-TnI, patients with elevated hs-TnI had a greater cumulative event rate (log-rank p = 0.002). Males (hazard ratio [HR], 4.770; 95% CI, 1.175-19.363; p = 0.029) and reduced MBFR (HR, 2.496; 95% CI, 1.446-4.311; p = 0.001) were risk factors associated with composite endpoints in patients with elevated hs-TnI. CONCLUSIONS In patients with chest pain and without obstructive coronary artery disease, elevated hs-TnI is associated with decreased myocardial perfusion by contrast echocardiography as well as a higher incidence of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Two-dimensional atomic layer materials, as an important part of the post-Moore era, have recently become an ideal choice for the preparation of high-efficiency, low-power, and miniaturized gas sensors. In this work, our study utilized density functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green's function method to investigate the electronic properties of the pentagonal BN2 (P-BN2) monolayer, as well as its gas-sensing properties for organic and inorganic gases. We also investigated how defects affect the quantum transport properties of the P-BN2-based device. Our findings demonstrate that the CO, H2S, NH3, SO2, C2H5OH, C3H6OH, CH3OH, and CH4 undergo physisorption on the P-BN2 monolayer, while NO, NO2, C2H2, C2H4, and HCHO undergo chemisorption. Then, we analyzed the impact of gas molecules chemisorbed on the P-BN2 monolayer on the electronic transport properties of the P-BN2-based gas sensor. When these five gas molecules are adsorbed, the current of the P-BN2-based gas sensor is greatly reduced. In addition, the effect of defects on the quantum transport properties of the P-BN2-based device is investigated. The results indicate that defects of N, B, and BN atoms lead to a decrease in the current of P-BN2-based nanodevices. Moreover, both the adsorption of gas molecules and the formation of vacancy defects leading to a decrease in device current can be revealed by the local device density of states near the zero-bias Fermi level, elucidating their microscopic mechanisms. Finally, gas molecules can also cause a decrease in the current of defect systems. These theoretical studies are of great significance for exploring two-dimensional atomic layer materials as high-efficiency gas sensors.

Abstract
Iron is an important trace element in the body, and it will seriously affect the body's normal operation if it is taken too much or too little. A large number of patients around the world are suffering from iron disorders. However, there are many problems using drugs to treat iron overload and causing prolonged and unbearable suffering for patients. Controlling iron absorption and utilization through diet is becoming the acceptable, safe and healthy method. At present, many literatures have reported that polyphenols can interact with iron ions and can be expected to chelate iron ions, depending on their types and structures. Besides, polyphenols often interact with other macromolecules in the diet, which may complicate this phenols-Fe behavior and give rise to the necessity of building phenolic based biopolymer materials. The biopolymer materials, constructed by self-assembly (non-covalent) or chemical modification (covalent), show excellent properties such as good permeability, targeting, biocompatibility, and high chelation ability. It is believed that this review can greatly facilitate the development of polyphenols-based biopolymer materials construction for regulating iron and improving the well-being of patients.

Abstract
Adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) are at increased future cardiovascular risk and require effective risk mitigation. However, data regarding appropriate postpartum screening for young women with APOs are lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between APOs and vascular aging by the determination of high pulse wave velocity (PWV) in young women. Women who gave birth from 1990 to 2020 and underwent brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) assessments in the postpartum period were recruited. We excluded women with age ≥50 years at the baPWV assessment or missing postpartum health examinations. The history of APOs including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, preterm delivery, and low birth weight were assessed by medical records. High PWV was defined as baPWV above the 90th percentile for different age group. Multivariable Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of APOs and high PWV. 3193 participants were included in the analysis, including 912 (28.6%) individuals with APOs. The prevalence of high PWV in the non-APO group and the APOs group were 7.19% (164) and 13.9% (127), respectively (P < 0.05). Compared with non-APO group, the OR (95% CI) of APOs group was 1.67 (1.29-2.16). The risks in the 20-29, 30-39, and 40-49 age groups were 2.51 (1.13-5.59), 1.83 (1.30-2.59), and 1.35 (0.82-2.21) (P for trend <0.05). We conclude that APOs are risk factors of vascular aging for young women and the risk decreased with increasing age. BaPWV should be an important indicator for preventive cardiovascular risk management in young women with APOs.

Abstract
Many studies have found that dietary fiber can protect against colorectal cancer (CRC). Survival in CRC patients is significantly reduced due to metastasis. However, little is known regarding the impact of dietary fiber on the CRC metastasis. In this study, we analyzed the effects of inulin, cellulose, and their mixture on CRC metastasis in a murine orthotopic transplantation model. BALB/C male mice were divided into the normal control (NC) (AIN-93 M diet), MOD (AIN-93 M diet), INU (10% w/w inulin), CEL (10% w/w cellulose), and MIX (5% w/w inulin + 5% w/w cellulose) groups. Dietary fiber intake inhibited the weights of the orthotopic tumors, liver weights, and liver metastasis area (p < 0.05) and improved the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice. Compared to the NC, the expression of β-catenin and the epithelial marker E-cadherin were lower, and that of mesenchymal markers, such as N-cadherin, MMP-9, and VEGF, were higher in the MOD group. All inulin, cellulose, and their mixture restored the gut microbiota diversity, and they, respectively, increased the relative abundance of Bifidobacteriales, Lactobacillus, and Lachnospiraceae. Inulin restored the levels of acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, and butyric acid. Spearman correlation analysis results showed that there was a positive correlation between five genera and six short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (adjusted p < 0.05). In conclusion, all inulin, cellulose, and their mixture have inhibitory effects on CRC metastasis, which may be achieved by the regulation of gut microbiota, the production of SCFAs, and the inhibition of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition process. Among the three dietary fiber intervention groups, the inhibitory effect of inulin is more significant.

Abstract
FAM64A is a mitogen-induced regulator of the metaphase and anaphase transition. Here, we found that FAM64A messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression levels were higher in gastric cancer tissue than in normal mucosa (p < .05). FAM64A methylation was negatively correlated with FAM64A mRNA expression (p < .05). The differentially expressed genes of FAM64A were mainly involved in digestion, potassium transporting or exchanging ATPase, contractile fibers, endopeptidase, and pancreatic secretion (p < .05). The FAM64A-related genes were principally categorized into ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, cell cycle, chromosome segregation and mitosis, microtubule binding and organization, metabolism of amino acids, cytokine receptors, lipid droplet, central nervous system, and collagen trimer (p < .05). FAM64A protein expression was lower in normal gastric mucosa than intestinal metaplasia, adenoma, and primary cancer (p < .05), negatively correlated with older age, T stage, lymphatic and venous invasion, tumor, node, metastasis stage, and dedifferentiation (p < .05), and associated with a favorable overall survival of gastric cancer patients. FAM64A overexpression promoted proliferation, antiapoptosis, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition via the EGFR/Akt/mTOR/NF-κB, while the opposite effect was observed for FAM64A knockdown. FAM64A also induced chemoresistance directly or indirectly through lipid droplet formation via ING5. These results suggested that upregulation of FAM64A expression might induce aggressive phenotypes, leading to gastric carcinogenesis and its subsequent progression. Thus, FAM64A could be regarded as a prognosis biomarker and a target for gene therapy.

Abstract
A new member of the 2D carbon family, grapheneplus (G+), has demonstrated excellent properties, such as Dirac cones and high surface area. In this study, the electronic transport properties of G+, NG+, and BG+ monolayers in which the NG+/BG+ can be obtained by replacing the center sp3 hybrid carbon atoms of the G+ with N/B atoms, were studied and compared using density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's function method. The results revealed that G+ is a semi-metal with two Dirac cones, which becomes metallic upon doping with N or B atoms. Based on the electronic structures, the conductivities of the 2D G+, NG+ and BG+-based nanodevices were analyzed deeply. It was found that the currents of all the designed devices increased with increasing the applied bias voltage, showing obvious quasi-linear current-voltage characteristics. IG+ was significantly higher than ING+ and IBG+ at the same bias voltage, and IG+ was almost twice IBG+, indicating that the electron mobility of G+ can be controlled by B/N doping. Additionally, the gas sensitivities of G+, NG+, and BG+-based gas sensors in detecting C2H4, CH2O, CH4O, and CH4 organic gases were studied. All the considered sensors can chemically adsorb C2H4 and CH2O, but there were only weak van der Waals interactions with CH4O and CH4. For chemical adsorption, the gas sensitivities of these sensors were considerably high and steady, and the sensitivity of NG+ to adsorb C2H4 and CH2O was greater as compared to G+ and BG+ at higher bias voltages. Interestingly, the maximum sensitivity difference for BG+ toward C2H4 and CH2O was 17%, which is better as compared to G+ and NG+. The high sensitivity and different response signals of these sensors were analyzed by transmission spectra and scattering state separation at the Fermi level. Gas sensors based on G+ monolayers can effectively detect organic gases such as C2H4 and CH2O, triggering their broad potential application prospects in the field of gas sensing.

Owing to the appearance of antibiotic resistance, there is an emergency need to design antibiotic-free wound dressings to treat such wounds. Herein, a novel antibiotic-free microneedle patch was designed, which its backing layer with antioxidant effect was coated with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (GLAA), and 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan through electrostatic interaction based on layer-by-layer self-assembly technique, and its tips consisted of gelatin and tannic acid (TA) via hydrogen bonding interaction (CGH/GTA MN patch). The obtained CGH/GTA MN patch could effectively puncture the skin, and exhibit properties of pH-responsive TA and GLAA release. In vitro experiments showed that the obtained CGH/GTA MN patch has excellent antioxidative (scavenging DPPH efficacy is above 80 %, and scavenging ABTS efficiency reaches about 100 %), antibacterial (antibacterial rates of nearly 100 % for both Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli)), biodegradable, and biocompatible properties. In the S. aureus-infected rat wounds, the CGH/GTA MN patch could efficiently accelerate infected-wound healing by eliminating S. aureus infection, inhibiting inflammation, promoting angiogenesis, and accelerating epidermal regeneration. Thus, this study will provide a promising strategy to heal bacterial-infected wounds.

Abstract
The bioaccumulation of methylmercury (MeHg) within the pelagic food webs is a crucial determinant of the MeHg concentration in the organisms at higher trophic levels. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is recognized for its influence on mercury (Hg) cycling in the aquatic environment because of its role in providing metabolic substrate for heterotrophic organism and serving as a strong ligand for MeHg. However, the impact of DOM on MeHg bioaccumulation in pelagic food chains remain controversial. Here, we explored MeHg bioaccumulation within a pelagic food web in China, in the eutrophic Bohai Sea and adjacent seas, covering a range of DOM concentrations and compositions. Our findings show that elevated concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and phytoplankton biomass may contribute to a reduction in MeHg uptake by phytoplankton. Moreover, we observe that a higher level of autochthonous DOM in the water may result in more significant MeHg biomagnification in zooplankton. This can be explained by alterations in the structure of pelagic food webs and/or an increase in the direct consumption of DOM and particulate organic matter (POM) containing MeHg. Our study offers direct field monitoring evidence of dual roles played by DOM in regulating MeHg transfers from water to phytoplankton and zooplankton in coastal pelagic food webs. A thorough understanding of the intricate interactions is essential for a more comprehensive evaluation of ecological risks associated with MeHg exposure in coastal ecosystems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Emerging evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of postoperative delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR). Mitochondria exist in a dynamic equilibrium that involves fission and fusion to regulate morphology and maintains normal cell function via the removal of damaged mitochondria through mitophagy. Nonetheless, the relationship between mitochondrial morphology and mitophagy, and how they influence mitochondrial function in the development of postoperative dNCR, remains poorly understood. Here, we observed morphological alterations of mitochondria and mitophagy activity in hippocampal neurons and assessed the involvement of their interaction in dNCR following general anesthesia and surgical stress in aged rats. METHODS Firstly, we evaluated the spatial learning and memory ability of the aged rats after anesthesia/surgery. Hippocampal mitochondrial function and mitochondrial morphology were detected. Afterwards, mitochondrial fission was inhibited by Mdivi-1 and siDrp1 in vivo and in vitro separately. We then detected mitophagy and mitochondrial function. Finally, we used rapamycin to activate mitophagy and observed mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial function. RESULTS Surgery impaired hippocampal-dependent spatial learning and memory ability and caused mitochondrial dysfunction. It also increased mitochondrial fission and inhibited mitophagy in hippocampal neurons. Mdivi-1 improved mitophagy and learning and memory ability of aged rats by inhibiting mitochondrial fission. Knocking down Drp1 by siDrp1 also improved mitophagy and mitochondrial function. Meanwhile, rapamycin inhibited excessive mitochondrial fission and improved mitochondrial function. CONCLUSION Surgery simultaneously increases mitochondrial fission and inhibits mitophagy activity. Mechanistically, mitochondrial fission/fusion and mitophagy activity interact reciprocally with each other and are both involved in postoperative dNCR. These mitochondrial events after surgical stress may provide novel targets and modalities for therapeutic intervention in postoperative dNCR.

Abstract
The MYB (v-Myb avivan myoblastsis virus oncogene homolog) transcription factor family is one of the largest families of plant transcription factors which plays a vital role in many aspects of plant growth and development. MYB-related is a subclass of the MYB family. Fifty-nine Arabidopsis thaliana MYB-related (AtMYB-related) genes have been identified. In order to understand the functions of these genes, in this review, the promoters of AtMYB-related genes were analyzed by means of bioinformatics, and the progress of research into the functions of these genes has been described. The main functions of these AtMYB-related genes are light response and circadian rhythm regulation, root hair and trichome development, telomere DNA binding, and hormone response. From an analysis of cis-acting elements, it was found that the promoters of these genes contained light-responsive elements and plant hormone response elements. Most genes contained elements related to drought, low temperature, and defense and stress responses. These analyses suggest that AtMYB-related genes may be involved in A. thaliana growth and development, and environmental adaptation through plant hormone pathways. However, the functions of many genes do not occur independently but instead interact with each other through different pathways. In the future, the study of the role of the gene in different pathways will be conducive to a comprehensive understanding of the function of the gene. Therefore, gene cloning and protein functional analyses can be subsequently used to understand the regulatory mechanisms of AtMYB-related genes in the interaction of multiple signal pathways. This review provides theoretical guidance for the follow-up study of plant MYB-related genes.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer originates from the epithelium of the large intestine and is a common malignant tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the relationship between RRP9 and DDX21 and colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. GSE134834, GSE206800, and GSE209892 profiles for CRC were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database generated using GPL20115 and GPL23126. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed. The construction and analysis of protein-protein interaction network. Functional enrichment analysis and gene set enrichment analysis were performed. Gene expression heat map was drawn and immune infiltration analysis was performed. Comparative toxicogenomics database analysis were performed to find the disease most related to the core gene. TargetScan was used to screen miRNAs regulating central DEGs. One thousand three hundred eighty DEGs were identified. According to gene ontology analysis, they were mainly concentrated in signal receptor activity regulation and metal titanase activity. Kyoto encyclopedia of gene and genome analysis showed that they mainly focused on IL17 signal pathway, PPAR signal pathway, protein digestion, and absorption, and the interaction of viral proteins with cytokines and cytokine receptors. The intersection of enrichment items and GOKEGG enrichment items of differentially expressed genes is mainly concentrated in PPAR signal pathway and the interaction of viral proteins with cytokines and cytokine receptors. The protein-protein interaction network obtained 16 core genes (MAD2L1, MELK, TPX2, UBE2C, RFC4, PLK1, RACGAP1, DKC1, DDX21, L Y AR, WDR3, RRP9, WDR43, NOLC1, BRIX1, and GTPBP4). Heat map of gene expression showed that core genes (TPX2, UBE2C, RFC4, PLK1, DKC1, LYAR, WDR3, NOLC1, and BRIX1) were not significantly differentially expressed between CRC and normal tissue samples. Core genes (MAD2L1, MELK, RACGAP1, RRP9, WDR43, DDX21, and GTPBP4) were highly expressed in CRC tissue samples and lowly expressed in normal tissue samples. Comparative toxicogenomics database analysis showed that 7 genes (MAD2L1, MELK, RACGAP1, RRP9, WDR43, DDX21, and GTPBP4) were related to necrosis, inflammation, tumor, precancerous symptoms, hemorrhage, and weightlessness. RRP9 and DDX21 are highly expressed in CRC. The higher the expression level of RRP9 and DDX21, the worse the prognosis.

Abstract
Electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) biosensors based on interface-mediated hybridization reactions are promising for point-of-care testing (POCT). However, the low efficiency of target recycle amplification and the steric hindrance at the electrode interface limit their sensing performance. Herein, we propose a base-stacking-driven catalytic hairpin assembly (BDCHA), a nucleic acid amplification reaction strategy, for POCT. The introduction of the base-stacking effect in this strategy increases the thermodynamic stability of the product, thereby effectively improving the recycling efficiency. Also, it enables the interface-mediated hybridization to maintain stability with even fewer bases in the reaction-binding domain, hence minimizing DNA secondary structure formation or intertwining at the electrode surface and ameliorating the steric hindrance limitation. The introduced base-stacking effect makes the electrode serve as a "booster" by integrating the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, giving BDCHA an increased reaction rate of about 20-fold, compared to the conventional catalytic hairpin assembly. As a proof of concept, our BDCHA was applied in constructing a portable E-DNA biosensor for the detection of a SARS-CoV-2 N gene sequence fragment. A simple 30 min one-pot incubation is required, and the results can be readily read on a smartphone, making it portable and user-friendly for POCT.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of envafolimab monotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: This open-label, multicenter phase I trial included dose escalation and dose expansion phases. In the dose escalation phase, patients received subcutaneous 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 or 10.0 mg/kg envafolimab once weekly (QW) following a modified "3+ 3" design. The dose expansion phase was performed in the 2.5 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg (QW) dose cohorts. Results: At November 25, 2019, a total of 287 patients received envafolimab treatment. During the dose escalation phase, no dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) was observed. In all dose cohorts, drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) for all grades occurred in 75.3% of patients, and grade 3 or 4 occurred in 20.6% of patients. The incidence of immune-related adverse reactions (irAE) was 24.0% for all grades, the most common irAEs (≥2%) included hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, immune-associated hepatitis and rash. The incidence of injection site reactions was low (3.8%), all of which were grades 1-2. Among the 216 efficacy evaluable patients, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 11.6% and 43.1%, respectively. Median duration of response was 49.1 weeks (95% CI: 24.0, 49.3). Pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure to envafolimab is proportional to dose and median time to maximum plasma concentration is 72-120 hours based on the PK results from the dose escalation phase of the study. Conclusion: Subcutaneous envafolimab has a favorable safety and promising preliminary anti-tumor activity in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the development of microalbuminuria (MAU) in essential hypertension (EHT), we investigated the association of MAU with central blood pressure (CBP), direct renin concentration (DRC), plasma aldosterone (PA), and uric acid (UA). METHOD We determined 24 h-urinary albumin excretion (24 h-UAE) in patients with EHT who were hospitalized at TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital from June 2020 to May 2022. We defined MAU as 24 h-UAE in the range of 30 mg/24 h to 300 mg/24 h. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the associations of MAU with CBP, DRC, PA, and UA in EHT, considering demographic and clinical information. We also plotted receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) for predicting MAU using these results. RESULTS More than a quarter of patients (26.5%, 107/404, 95% CI: 22.2-31.1%) were diagnosed with MAU in EHT. A higher body mass index (BMI), longer duration of hypertension, and higher severity were associated with MAU. Also, nearly 10% more creatinine levels were recorded in the MAU group than in the control group (69.5 ± 18.7 µmol/L vs. 64.8 ± 12.5 µmol/L, P = 0.004). The increase was also observed for PA (15.5, 9.7-20.6 ng/dL vs. 12.3, 9.0-17.3 ng/dL, P = 0.024) and UA (419.8 ± 105.6 µmol/L vs. 375.1 ± 89.5 µmol/L, P < 0.001) in the MAU group compared to that in the control group. Several variables were associated with MAU, including central diastolic blood pressure (CDBP) (OR = 1.017, 95% CI: 1.002-1.032, P = 0.027), PA (OR = 1.043, 95% CI: 1.009-1.078, P = 0.012) and UA (OR = 1.005, 95% CI: 1.002-1.008, P < 0.001). For MAU prediction, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.709 (95% CI: 0.662-0.753; P < 0.001) when CDBP, PA, and UA were used in combination, and the optimal probability of the cut-off value was 0.337. CONCLUSION We found that CDBP, PA, and UA, used for MAU prediction, might be associated with its development during EHT.

Abstract
Sound vibration is one of natural stimuli trigging physiological changes in plants. Recent studies showed that sound waves stimulated production of a variety of plant secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, in order to enhance seed germination, flowering, growth or defense. In this review, we examine the potential role of sound stimulation on the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and the followed cascade of physiological changes in plants, from the perspective of transcriptional regulation and epigenetic regulation for the first time. A systematic summary showed that a wide range of factors may regulate the production of secondary metabolites, including plant species, growth stage, sound types, sound frequency, sound intensity level and exposure time, etc. Biochemical and physiological changes due to sound stimulation were thoroughly summarized as well, for secondary metabolites can also act as a free radical scavenger, or a hormone signaling molecule. We also discussed the limits of previous studies, and the future application of sound waves in biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Depression is a common comorbidity in Parkinson's Disease (PD) and treatment of depression can significantly support PD management. Zishen pingchan granules (ZPG), a traditional Chinese herbal formula, may help ameliorate depressive symptoms in PD patients. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of ZPG remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ZPG on serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in PD patients with depression. METHODS Eighty PD patients treated with pramipexole but still experiencing mild to moderate depression symptoms were randomly allocated to a group receiving 12-week ZPG treatment (n = 40) or placebo (n = 40). The Hamilton Depression Scale 17 items (HAM-D-17) was utilized to evaluate changes in depressive symptoms from baseline over 12 weeks, while the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scales (UPDRS) part 3 was employed to assess changes in motor symptoms over the same duration. Serum levels of BDNF, IL-1β, IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α were measured at baseline and post-treatment. RESULTS Seventy-one participants completed the study. Following treatment, both groups showed significantly reduced HAMD scores. The placebo group demonstrated a decrease in BDNF levels, while the ZPG group showed an increase in IL-6 levels post-treatment. In the examination of the group-time interaction, the ZPG group exhibited a greater decrease in HAMD scores and increase in IL-6 levels compared to the placebo group. Conversely, the placebo group showed a greater decrease in BDNF levels compared to the ZPG group. However, no significant group differences were observed in UPDRS part 3 change scores or serum levels of IL-1β, CRP, or TNF-α change from baseline. CONCLUSION ZPG may potentially ameliorate depressive symptoms in PD patients, with the potential mechanism involving mitigation of reductions in serum BDNF level and an increase in IL-6 level.

Abstract
In recent years, pepper wilt has emerged as a pivotal constraint on pepper yield augmentation. Bacillus velezensis S3-1, with a wide array of hosts, can be used as both a biocontrol agent and biofertilizer. Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms underpinning its employment in combating pepper wilt remain cloaked in ambiguity. In our study, we found that B. velezensis S3-1 could significantly inhibit Fusarium sp. F1T that caused pepper wilt. S3-1 could effectively inhibit both the growth and germination of F1T conidia, leading to a reduction in the spore germination percentage from 83.2 to 37.1% in vitro experiments. Additionally, leaf detachment experiments revealed that the volatile compounds produced by S3-1 could inhibit the spread of pepper leaf spot area. Moreover, we observed a significant decrease in the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in pepper treated with S3-1, along with a significant increase in the content of soluble protein, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in pepper. Furthermore, RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of the defense genes CaPR 1 and CaPIN II in pepper after treatment with S3-1 was significantly upregulated, suggesting that S3-1 had the potential to induce systemic resistance in pepper, thereby enhancing its disease resistance. Hence, our findings suggest that S3-1 can be a promising biocontrol agent for managing pepper wilt in modern agriculture.

Abstract
The monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) ratio (MHR) is accepted as a novel marker for demonstrating inflammation. We investigated whether the monocyte-to-HDL ratio is related to the 90-day clinical prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Patients with AIS treated with alteplase IVT were included consecutively, and clinical information and laboratory data were collected. The 90-day prognosis of all patients was determined with a clinical assessment using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The optimal cutoff values for patients were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve method. Then, a multivariate logistic regression model was used to evaluate the risk factors for poor prognosis of IVT in AIS. We retrospectively enrolled 192 patients who were diagnosed with AIS and received IVT between February 2020 and July 2022, with final follow-up on September 30, 2022. The patients in the poor prognosis group had significantly higher monocyte counts, lower HDL levels, and higher MHR values than the good prognosis group. The optimal cutoff value of the MHR for predicting the 3-month outcome of acute pontine infarction was 0.621. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the MHR (OR = 4.626, 95% CI: 1.156-18.512, P = .030) was strongly associated with poor prognosis in AIS. The MHR is an independent risk factor for the clinical prognosis of AIS patients receiving IVT therapy and shows a certain predictive value.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between BMI combined with neck circumference and the risk of hypertension. Methods We selected participants from the Kailuan study in 2014 who were normotensive as our research subjects. We compared the risk of hypertension among individuals in group 1 (non-obese with low neck circumference), group 2 (non-obese with high neck circumference), group 3 (obese with low neck circumference), and group 4 (obese with high neck circumference). Results After a median observation period of 3.86 years, hypertension occurred in 13,383 participants. Subjects in Group 2, 3, and 4 had significantly higher risks of hypertension compared to Group 1, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 1.066 (95% CI: 1.025, 1.110), 1.322 (95% CI: 1.235, 1.415), and 1.422 (95% CI: 1.337, 1.512), respectively. Additionally, adding BMI to a conventional model had a greater incremental effect on predicting hypertension compared to adding neck circumference alone. However, considering both BMI and neck circumference together further improved the prediction of hypertension. Conclusion Individuals with both high BMI and high neck circumference face a higher risk of hypertension. Moreover, BMI is a superior predictor of hypertension risk compared to neck circumference, but using both of these measures can further enhance the accuracy of hypertension risk prediction.

Abstract
The use of biodegradable plastic film mulching as a replacement for polyethylene plastic film has gained recognition due to its reduced environmental pollution. However, its impact on soil environment is not yet fully understood. Here, we compared the effects of different plastic film mulching on the accumulation of microbial necromass carbon (C) and its contribution to soil total C in 2020 and 2021. Results showed that biodegradable plastic film mulching decreased the accumulation of fungal necromass C compared to no plastic film mulching and polyethylene film mulching. However, the bacterial necromass C and soil total C were not affected by the plastic film mulching. Biodegradable plastic film mulching decreased the soil dissolved organic carbon content after maize harvest. Random forest models suggested that soil dissolved organic C, soil pH and the ratio of soil dissolved organic C to microbial biomass C were important factors in regulating the accumulation of fungal necromass C. The abundance of the fungal genus Mortierella was also found to have a significant positive contribution to the accumulation of fungal necromass C. These findings suggest that biodegradable plastic film mulching may decrease the accumulation of fungal necromass C by changing substrate availability, soil pH, and fungal community composition, with potential implications for soil C storage.

Abstract
Low-intensity ultrasound (LI-US) is a non-invasive stimulation technique that has emerged in recent years and has been shown to have positive effects on neuromodulation, fracture healing, inflammation improvement, and metabolic regulation. This study reports the conclusions of a bibliometric analysis of LI-US. Input data for the period between 1995 and 2022, including 7209 related articles in the field of LI-US, were collected from the core library of the Web of Science (WOS) database. Using these data, a set of bibliometric indicators was obtained to gain knowledge on different aspects: global production, research areas, and sources analysis, contributions of countries and institutions, author analysis, citation analysis, and keyword analysis. This study combined the data analysis capabilities provided by the WOS database, making use of two bibliometric software tools: R software and VOS viewer to achieve analysis and data exploration visualization, and predicted the further development trends of LI-US. It turns out that the United States and China are co-leaders while Zhang ZG is the most significant author in LI-US. In the future, the hot spots of LI-US will continue to focus on parameter research, mechanism discussion, safety regulations, and neuromodulation applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The distribution of coronary resting blood flow is critical for accurately calculating the computed tomography (CT) angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT). However, the diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT calculated by the fixed exponents between two risk factors and coronary resting blood flow, including myocardial mass and diameter of the coronary artery branch, was insufficient compared with invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). In this study, we proposed the individualized distribution of coronary resting blood flow based on coronary ultrasound blood flow measurement, to improve the diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT calculation. METHODS Five risk factors and an unknown coefficient K were integrated to calculate the individualized distribution of coronary resting blood flow. The K value was fit using the least square method based on coronary ultrasound blood flow measurement results of 30 volunteers. We developed a novel approach for calculating the individualized distribution of coronary resting blood flow and applied it to calculate FFRCT (FFRCTI). Then, we tested the performance of the individualized distribution approach by comparing it with the approach proposed by Taylor based on coronary ultrasound blood flow measurement results of 13 volunteers. Finally, we tested the diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT calculated by two approaches in invasive FFR of 121 vessels with coronary stenosis. RESULTS We identified five risk factors and 6.83×10-5 for K value, including cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, myocardial mass, coronary artery volume, and diameter of the coronary artery branch, to calculate the individualized distribution of coronary resting blood flow. The mean square error of the individualized distribution approach (0.0088) was significantly less than that of the approach proposed by Taylor (0.0799). The diagnostic accuracy of FFRCTI calculated by the individualized distribution approach (91.74%) was higher than that of the approach proposed by Taylor (FFRCTT) (82.64%). CONCLUSIONS The individualized distribution approach of coronary resting blood flow can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT calculation compared with invasive FFR, and support its wide clinical application for diagnosing myocardial ischemia caused by coronary stenosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Belonging to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, G protein-coupled receptor 176 (GPR176) is associated with the Gz/Gx G-protein subclass and is capable of decreasing cAMP production. METHODS GPR176 expression was detected by qRT-PCR, bioinformatics analysis, Western blot and immunohistochemistry, and compared with clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer. GPR176-related genes and pathways were subjected to bioinformatic analysis. We also explored the effects of GPR176 on the phenotypes of breast cancer cells. RESULTS Lower expression of GPR176 mRNA was seen in breast cancer than in normal tissues, but the opposite pattern was found for its protein (p < 0.05). GPR176 mRNA was associated with female sex, low T staging, non-Her-2+ subtypes, non-mutant p53 status in breast cancer (p < 0.05). GPR176 methylation was negatively correlated with its mRNA level and T staging in breast cancer, and was higher in breast cancer than normal tissues (p < 0.05). GPR176 protein expression was positively correlated with older age, small tumor size, and non-luminal-B subtype of breast cancers (p < 0.05). The differential genes of GPR176 were involved in receptor-ligand interaction, RNA maturation, and so forth (p < 0.05). GPR176-related genes were categorized into cell mobility, membrane structure, and so on (p < 0.05). GPR176 knockdown weakened the proliferation, glucose catabolism, anti-apoptosis, anti-pyroptosis, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of breast cancer cells. CONCLUSION These results indicate that GPR176 might be involved in the tumorigenesis and subsequent progression of breast cancer by deteriorating aggressive phenotypes. It might be utilized as a potential biomarker to indicate the aggressive behaviors and poor prognosis of breast cancer and a potential target of genetic therapy.

Abstract
Hydrocolloids have been widely used to adjust properties of natural starches, but related research on kudzu starch is still rare. In this study, we investigated the effects of gum arabic (AG), sodium alginate (SA), locust bean gum (LG), and guar gum (GG) on kudzu starch from the perspective of its particle size, pasting, texture, rheology, dehydration rate, thermal properties, microstructure, and sensitivity to amyloglucosidase. Results showed that GG significantly increased the particle size of starch. Addition of AG led to lower peak-, final- and holding-viscosity. SA increased the retention viscosity of kudzu starch, while LG and GG increased its peak viscosity. Addition of hydrocolloids increased the hardness, chewiness, and cohesiveness of starch-hydrocolloid complexes, and reduced the dehydration rate of complex gels. Dynamic rheological data showed that the energy storage modulus (G') was significantly higher than the loss modulus (G″). The magnitude of modulus increased with frequency, and elastic properties were better than viscous properties. Thermal analysis showed that hydrocolloids increased the starting temperature (To), and the final temperature (Tc). With addition of each of these four hydrocolloids, a more regular and porous thick-wall dense structure was formed, which effectively lowered kudzu starch's sensitivity to amyloglucosidase. It indicated that the binding of hydrocolloid to starch may slow down glucose release into blood during digestion. These results will help understand effects of natural hydrocolloid on kudzu starch, as well as expanding its application in food industry.

Abstract
An electrode material with high performance, long durability, and low cost for supercapacitors has long been desired in academia and industry. Among all the factors that affect the electrochemical performance and cycling stability of electrode materials, the morphology and intrinsic structure characteristics are the most important. In this study, a novel 3D flower-like Ce(COOH)3 electrode material was designed by taking advantage of the Ce3+ and -COOH groups and fabricated by a one-pot microwave-assisted method. The morphology and structure characteristics of the sample were examined by SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, XPS, N2 adsorption/desorption techniques, and the electrochemical behaviors were investigated in a three-electrode configuration. The Ce(COOH)3 electrode presents an excellent specific capacitance of 140 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, higher than many other previously reported Ce-based electrodes. In addition, it delivers high rate capability that retains 60% of its initial capacitance when the current density is magnified 20 times. Dramatically, the Ce(COOH)3 electrode exhibits an ultra-high cycling stability with capacitance retention of 107.9% after 60,000 cycles, which is the highest durability among reported Ce-organic compound electrodes to the best of our knowledge. The excellent electrochemical performance is ascribed to its intrinsic crystal structure and unique morphology. This work indicates that the 3D flower-like Ce(COOH)3 has significant potential for supercapacitor applications and the facile and scalable synthesis strategy can be extended to produce other metal-organic composite electrodes.

Abstract
Coagulation system activation is commonly observed in tumor patients, including prostate cancer (PCa), with coagulation markers proposed as potential prognostic indicators for cancer severity. However, the correlation between these markers and clinicopathological features in PCa remains unclear. Thus, this study investigates the association between comprehensive coagulation markers and clinicopathological characteristics in PCa patients. A retrospective evaluation of 162 PCa patients diagnosed and categorized into low-intermediate-risk or high-risk groups based on clinical and pathological features was conducted. Coagulation markers, including fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer (DD), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin activity (PTA), thrombin time (TT), platelet count (PLT), and international normalized ratio (INR), were assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine associations with clinicopathological features. FIB and DD were confirmed as independent factors associated with high-risk PCa. Furthermore, FIB and DD levels showed significant positive correlations with clinical parameters, including PSA levels, ISUP grade, T stage, N stage, and M stage. Our findings suggest that FIB and DD hold promise as independent prognostic biomarkers for risk stratification in PCa. These coagulation markers may aid in assessing PCa severity and guiding personalized treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient safety is a global challenge influenced by perceived patient safety culture. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the patient safety culture perceived by hospital clinical managers and its associated factors. This study aims to investigate the perceptions of patient safety culture and associated factors among clinical managers of tertiary hospitals in China. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June 19 to July 16, 2021, involving 539 clinical managers from four tertiary hospitals in Changsha City of Hunan Province. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) was utilized to assess perceived patient safety culture. Bivariate, multivariable linear regression, and logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS The mean score for the total HSOPSC was 72.5 ± 7.6, with dimensional scores ranging from 62.1 (14.9) to 86.6 (11.7). Three dimensions exhibited positive response rates (PRRs) < 50%, indicating areas that need to be improved: "nonpunitive response to errors" (40.5%), "staffing" (41.9%), and "frequency of events reported" (47.4%). Specialized hospitals (β = 1.744, P = 0.037), female gender (β = 2.496, P = 0.003), higher professional title (β = 1.413, P = 0.049), a higher education level (β = 1.316, P = 0.001), and shorter time delays per shift (β=-1.13, P < 0.001) were correlated with higher perceived patient safety culture. Education level, work department, "teamwork within a unit", "management support for patient safety", "communication openness", and "staffing" dimensions were associated with patient safety grades (all P < 0.05). Years worked in hospitals, occupation, education level, work department, hospital nature, professional title, "communication openness", and "handoffs & transitions" were associated with the number of adverse events reported (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed a generally low level of patient safety culture perceived by clinical managers and identified priority areas requiring urgent improvement. The associated factors of patient safety culture provide important guidance for the development of targeted interventions in the future. Promoting patient safety by optimizing the patient safety culture perceived by clinical managers should be prioritized.

Abstract
The electronic transport properties of the four carbon isomers: graphene+, T-graphene, net-graphene, and biphenylene, as well as the gas-sensing properties to the nitrogen-based gas molecules including NO2, NO, and NH3 molecules, are systematically studied and comparatively analyzed by combining the density functional theory with the nonequilibrium Green's function. The four carbon isomers are metallic, especially with graphene+ being a Dirac metal due to the two Dirac cones present at the Fermi energy level. The two-dimensional devices based on these four carbon isomers exhibit good conduction properties in the order of biphenylene > T-graphene > graphene+ > net-graphene. More interestingly, net-graphene-based and biphenylene-based devices demonstrate significant anisotropic transport properties. The gas sensors based on the above four structures all have good selectivity and sensitivity to the NO2 molecule, among which T-graphene-based gas sensors are the most prominent with a maximum ΔI value of 39.98 μA, being only three-fifths of the original. In addition, graphene+-based and biphenylene-based gas sensors are also sensitive to the NO molecule with maximum ΔI values of 29.42 and 25.63 μA, respectively. However, the four gas sensors are all physically adsorbed for the NH3 molecule. By the adsorption energy, charge transfer, electron localization functions, and molecular projection of self-consistent Hamiltonian states, the mechanisms behind all properties can be clearly explained. This work shows the potential of graphene+, T-graphene, net-graphene, and biphenylene for the detection of toxic molecules of NO and NO2.

Abstract
Probiotics gained significant attention for their potential to improve gut health and enhance productivity in animals, including poultry. This comprehensive study focused on the genetic analysis of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 18 (LP18) to understand its survival and colonization characteristics in the gastrointestinal tract. LP18 was supplemented in the late-stage diet of laying hens to investigate its impact on growth performance, egg quality, and lipid metabolism. The complete genome sequence of LP18 was determined, consisting of 3,275,044 base pairs with a GC content of 44.42% and two circular plasmids. Genomic analysis revealed genes associated with adaptability, adhesion, and gastrointestinal safety. LP18 supplementation significantly improved the daily laying rate (p < 0.05) during the late-production phase and showed noteworthy advancements in egg quality, including egg shape index (p < 0.05), egg albumen height (p < 0.01), Haugh unit (p < 0.01), and eggshell strength (p < 0.05), with notable improvements in eggshell ultrastructure. Additionally, LP18 supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in serum lipid content, including LDL (p < 0.01), FFA (p < 0.05), and Gly (p < 0.05). These findings provide valuable insights into the genomic characteristics of LP18 and the genes that support its survival and colonization in the gastrointestinal tract. Importantly, this study highlights the potential of LP18 as a probiotic candidate to enhance productivity, optimize egg quality, and modulate lipid metabolism in poultry production.

Abstract
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is the first choice for law enforcement agencies in various countries to analyze new psychoactive substances (NPS) because of its advantages and complete databases. For synthetic cathinone-type NPS (SCat), alkalization and extraction processes before GC-MS analysis are essential. However, the base form of SCat is unstable, causing it to quickly degrade in solution and cause pyrolysis at the GC-MS injection inlet. In this study, we investigated the degradation of ethyl acetate and pyrolysis at the GC-MS injection inlet of 2-fluoromethcathinone (2-FMC), the most unstable SCat. Using gas chromatography-quadruple/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-Q/TOF-MS) combined with the predicted data from theoretical calculations and the analysis of mass spectrometry (MS) fragmentation, the structures of 15 2-FMC degradation and pyrolysis products were identified. Among them, 11 products were produced during degradation, and six products were obtained from pyrolysis (two of which were the same as the degradation products). At the same time, the degradation and pyrolysis pathways of 2-FMC were provided. The balance between keto-enol and enamine-imine tautomerism triggered the primary degradation pathway of 2-FMC. The subsequent degradation started from the tautomer with a hydroxyimine structure, including imine hydrolysis, oxidation, imine-enamine tautomerism, intramolecular ammonolysis of halobenzene, and hydration to generate a series of degradation products. The secondary degradation reaction was the ammonolysis of ethyl acetate to yield N-[1-(2'-fluorophenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl]-N-methylacetamide and the byproduct, N-[1-(2'-fluorophenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl]-N-methylformamide. In the pyrolysis of 2-FMC, the major reactions were dehydrogenation, intramolecular ammonolysis of halobenzene, and defluoromethane. The achievements of this manuscript not only study 2-FMC degradation and pyrolysis but also lay the foundation for the study of SCat stability and their accurate analysis by GC-MS.

Abstract
Paper-based flexible sensors are of great significance for promoting the development of green wearable electronic devices due to their good degradability and low cost. In this work, a paper-based wearable pressure sensor with a sandwich structure is proposed, which is assembled from a sensing layer printed with Ti3C2Tx MXene ink, an interdigitated electrode printed in the same simple and economical way, and two polyethylene terephthalate films. The demonstrated paper-based pressure sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity in a wide pressure sensing range, as well as cyclic stability at a certain pressure. The sensor can be attached to the human body's surface to monitor various pressure-related physical activities. Using a self-designed mobile phone APP, the special pressure signals collected from the sensor can be transmitted and translated, and an intelligent and encrypted information transmission system can be established. Since only ordinary printing paper and Ti3C2Tx MXene ink are used, the pressure sensor is easy to prepare, economical, and environmentally friendly, and it can be degraded by stirring in water without generating electronic waste. It can be foreseen that the proposed sensor shows bright application potential in the sustainable development of healthcare and human-computer interaction fields.

Abstract
Vehicular emissions, including both tailpipe exhaust and evaporative emissions, are major anthropogenic sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urban cities. Current knowledge on vehicle tailpipe and evaporative emissions was mainly obtained via laboratory tests on very few vehicles under experimental conditions. Information on fleet gasoline vehicles emission features under real-world conditions is lacking. Here, VOC measurement was conducted in a large residential underground parking garage in Tianjin, China, to reveal the feature of the exhaust and evaporative emissions from real-world gasoline vehicle fleets. The VOC concentration in the parking garage was on average 362.7 ± 87.7 μg m-3, significantly higher than that in the ambient atmosphere at the same period (63.2 μg m-3). Aromatics and alkanes were the mainly contributors on both weekdays and weekends. A positive correlation between VOCs and traffic flow was observed, especially in the daytime. Source apportionment through the positive matrix factorization model (PMF) revealed that the tailpipe and evaporative emissions accounted for 43.2% and 33.7% of VOCs, respectively. Evaporative emission contributed 69.3% to the VOCs at night due to diurnal breathing loss from numerous parked cars. In contrast, tailpipe emission was most remarkable during morning rush hours. Based on the PMF results, we reconstructed a vehicle-related VOCs profile representing the combination of the tailpipe exhaust and evaporative emission from fleet-average gasoline vehicles, which could benefit future source apportionment studies.

Abstract
Background A simple, rapid, and effective cognitive screening test appropriate for fast-paced settings with limited resources and staff is essential, especially preoperatively. This study aimed to develop and validate the short versions of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for predicting postoperative delirium (POD) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who were scheduled for surgery. Methods The current study was a secondary analysis of data collected from 128 inpatients scheduled for deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nuclei (STN-DBS) lasting >60 min, at Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital, China. Preoperative cognitive screening was performed during the preoperative visit using the MMSE and MoCA. The optimal MMSE and MoCA cut-off scores for detecting PD-MCI was 27 and 23 respectively. The POD was assessed twice a day on the first postoperative day until discharge by the confusion assessment method. The backward conditional logistic regression analysis was used to organize the reduced versions of the MMSE or MoCA. Also, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) were examined using the DeLong test. Results 125/128 PD patients were included in the analysis, and 27 (21.6%) developed POD. The MMSE reduced version (orientation to time, attention and calculation, and comprehension) demonstrated performance similar to the original MMSE in predicting POD (z=0.820, p=0.412). The AUC of the original MoCA and the short MoCA (visuospatial and executive attention and orientation) were 0.808 and 0.826, respectively. There was no significantly difference in the AUC values between the tests (z=0.561, p=0.575). Conclusion Our simplified MMSE and MoCA could be efficiently used to identify patients at risk for POD. Also, short cognitive tests could be considered while predicting POD in fast-paced preoperative settings with limited resources and staff.

Abstract
At present, wearable flexible pressure sensors have broad application prospects in fields such as motion monitoring and information transmission. However, it is still a challenge to design flexible pressure sensors with high sensitivity over a large sensing range and simple fabrication. Here, we use a simple "dipping-drying" method to fabricate a fabric-based flexible pressure sensor by coupling silver nanowires (AgNWs) with Ti3C2-MXene. The interaction between MXene and AgNWs helps realize a dual-layer sensing network, achieving good synergistic effects between pressure sensitivity and sensing range. The effects of the material combination and dip-coating sequence on the sensor's performance are systematically studied. The results show that the sensor was impregnated sequentially with AgNWs solution, and the MXene solution has the highest sensitivity (0.168 kPa-1) over a wide range (190 kPa). Meanwhile, it has the advantages of low response hysteresis and detection limit, as well as good linearity and durability. We further demonstrate the application of this sensor in human physiological signal monitoring and motion pattern recognition. It can also encrypt and transmit information according to different pressing states. In addition, the proposed pressure sensor array exhibits spatial resolution detection capabilities, laying the foundation for applications in the fields of motion monitoring and human-computer interaction.

Abstract
EIN3-binding F-box 1 (EBF1) is involved in cold tolerance in Arabidopsis; however, its exact roles in cold signaling in Brassica rapa remain uncertain. Herein, we demonstrated that EBF1 homologs are highly conserved in Brassica species, but their copy numbers are diverse, with some motifs being species specific. Cold treatment activated the expression of EBF1 homologs BrEBF1 and BrEBF2 in B. rapa; however, their expression schemas were diverse in different cold-resistant varieties of the plant. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that BrEBF1 is a nuclear-localized F-box protein, and cold treatment did not alter its localization but induced its degradation. BrEBF1 overexpression enhanced cold tolerance, reduced cold-induced ROS accumulation, and enhanced MPK3 and MPK6 kinase activity in Arabidopsis. Our study revealed that BrEBF1 positively regulates cold tolerance in B. rapa and that BrEBF1-regulated cold tolerance is associated with ROS scavenging and MPK3 and MPK6 kinase activity through the C-repeat binding factor pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methane (CH4) is a major greenhouse gas, and ruminants are one of the sources of CH4 which is produced by the rumen microbiota. Modification of the rumen microbiota compositions will impact the CH4 production. In this study, the effects of melatonin on methane production in cows were investigated both in the in vitro and in vivo studies. RESULTS Melatonin treatment significantly reduced methane production in both studies. The cows treated with melatonin reduced methane emission from their respiration by approximately 50%. The potential mechanisms are multiple. First, melatonin lowers the volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production in rumen and reduces the raw material for CH4 synthesis. Second, melatonin not only reduces the abundance of Methanobacterium which are responsible for generating methane but also inhibits the populations of protozoa to break the symbiotic relationship between Methanobacterium and protozoa in rumen to further lowers the CH4 production. The reduced VFA production is not associated with food intake, and it seems also not to jeopardize the nutritional status of the cows. This was reflected by the increased milk lipid and protein contents in melatonin treated compared to the control cows. It is likely that the energy used to synthesize methane is saved to compensate the reduced VFA production. CONCLUSION This study enlightens the potential mechanisms by which melatonin reduces rumen methane production in dairy cows. Considering the greenhouse effects of methane on global warming, these findings provide valuable information using different approaches to achieve low carbon dairy farming to reduce the methane emission.

Abstract
The development of a gas sensor capable of detecting ammonia with high selectivity and rapid response at room temperature has consistently posed a formidable challenge. To address this issue, the present study utilized a one-step solvothermal method to co-assemble α-Fe2O3 and SnO2 by evenly covering SnO2 nanoparticles on the surface of α-Fe2O3. By controlling the morphology and Fe/Sn mole ratio of the composite, the as-prepared sample exhibits high-performance detection of NH3. At room temperature conditions, a gas sensor composed of α-Fe2O3@3%SnO2 demonstrates a rapid response time of 14 s and a notable sensitivity of 83.9% when detecting 100 ppm ammonia. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the adsorption capacity of α-Fe2O3 to ammonia is enhanced by the surface effect provided by SnO2. Meanwhile, the existence of SnO2 tailors the pore structure and effective surface area of α-Fe2O3, creating multiple channels for the diffusion and adsorption of ammonia molecules. Additionally, an N-N heterostructure is formed between α-Fe2O3 and SnO2, which enhances the potential energy barrier and improves the ammonia sensing performance. Demonstration experiments have proved that the sensor shows significant advantages over commercial sensors in the process of ammonia detection in agricultural facilities. This work provides new insights into the perspectives on ammonia detection at room temperature.

Abstract
During the past decade, cognitive neuroscience has been calling for population diversity to address the challenge of validity and generalizability, ushering in a new era of population neuroscience. The developing Chinese Color Nest Project (devCCNP, 2013-2022), the first ten-year stage of the lifespan CCNP (2013-2032), is a two-stages project focusing on brain-mind development. The project aims to create and share a large-scale, longitudinal and multimodal dataset of typically developing children and adolescents (ages 6.0-17.9 at enrolment) in the Chinese population. The devCCNP houses not only phenotypes measured by demographic, biophysical, psychological and behavioural, cognitive, affective, and ocular-tracking assessments but also neurotypes measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain morphometry, resting-state function, naturalistic viewing function and diffusion structure. This Data Descriptor introduces the first data release of devCCNP including a total of 864 visits from 479 participants. Herein, we provided details of the experimental design, sampling strategies, and technical validation of the devCCNP resource. We demonstrate and discuss the potential of a multicohort longitudinal design to depict normative brain growth curves from the perspective of developmental population neuroscience. The devCCNP resource is shared as part of the "Chinese Data-sharing Warehouse for In-vivo Imaging Brain" in the Chinese Color Nest Project (CCNP) - Lifespan Brain-Mind Development Data Community ( https://ccnp.scidb.cn ) at the Science Data Bank.
