Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative analgesic management is an ongoing challenge. The pain threshold (PT) is an objective index that reflects the body's sensitivity to pain and can be used for quantitative pain assessment. We hypothesized that the PT is correlated with postoperative pain and can thus be used to guide postoperative pain management. METHODS This study involved 93 patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery from December 2019 to February 2020. The PT was measured with transcutaneous electrical stimulation before surgery (T0) and at 1 h (T1), 6 h (T6), and 24 h (T24) after surgery. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the severity of postoperative pain at the same time. The PT variation (PTV) after surgery was calculated as the ratio of the postoperative PT to preoperative PT. RESULTS The postoperative PT was higher than the preoperative PT and showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery; the PTV also showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery. PT-T1 was negatively correlated with VAS-T1 at rest and during motion (rest: VAS-T1r = - 0.274, P = 0.008; motion: VAS-T1r = - 0.298, P = 0.004). PTV-T1 was negatively correlated with VAS-T1 during motion (r = - 0.213, P = 0.04). Lower VAS-T1 scores (< 4) at rest and during motion were associated with higher PT-T1 (rest: t = 2.452, P = 0.016; motion: t = 2.138, P = 0.035). The intraoperative sufentanil dose was associated with a postoperative increase in PTV-T1. Increased rescue analgesic administration was associated with PTV elevation. However, the incidence of dizziness in patients with moderate PTV-T24 was lower than that in patients with high or low PTV-T24 (χ2 = 8.297, P = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS The postoperative PT was higher than the preoperative PT and showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery; PTV also showed a downward trend within 24 h after surgery. The PT and PTV were negatively correlated with the pain intensity at rest and during motion and were associated with perioperative analgesic consumption and the incidence of adverse events.

Abstract
Background Patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) exhibit distinctive electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns. However, ASD cannot be diagnosed solely based on these differences. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely used for specifically diagnosing cardiovascular diseases other than arrhythmia. Our study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence-enabled 8-lead ECG to detect ASD among adults. Method In this study, our AI model was trained and validated using 526 ECGs from patients with ASD and 2,124 ECGs from a control group with a normal cardiac structure in our hospital. External testing was conducted at Wuhan Central Hospital, involving 50 ECGs from the ASD group and 46 ECGs from the normal group. The model was based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a residual network to classify 8-lead ECG data into either the ASD or normal group. We employed a 10-fold cross-validation approach. Results Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the cited ECG features between the ASD and normal groups. Our AI model performed well in identifying ECGs in both the ASD group [accuracy of 0.97, precision of 0.90, recall of 0.97, specificity of 0.97, F1 score of 0.93, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.99] and the normal group within the training and validation datasets from our hospital. Furthermore, these corresponding indices performed impressively in the external test data set with the accuracy of 0.82, precision of 0.90, recall of 0.74, specificity of 0.91, F1 score of 0.81 and the AUC of 0.87. And the series of experiments of subgroups to discuss specific clinic situations associated to this issue was remarkable as well. Conclusion An ECG-based detection of ASD using an artificial intelligence algorithm can be achieved with high diagnostic performance, and it shows great clinical promise. Our research on AI-enabled 8-lead ECG detection of ASD in adults is expected to provide robust references for early detection of ASD, healthy pregnancies, and related decision-making. A lower number of leads is also more favorable for the application of portable devices, which it is expected that this technology will bring significant economic and societal benefits.

Abstract
Colloids are common in mine waters and their chemistry and interactions are critical aspects of metal(loid)s cycling. Previous studies mostly focus on the colloidal transport of metal(loid)s in zones where rivers and soil profiles receive acid mine drainage (AMD). However, there is limited knowledge of the colloid and the associated toxic element behavior as the effluent flows through the coal waste dump, where a geochemical gradient is produced due to AMD reacting with waste rocks which have high acid-neutralization effects. Here, we investigated the geochemistry of Fe and co-occurring elements As, Ni, and Cu along the coal waste dump, in aqueous, colloidal, and precipitate phases, using micro/ultrafiltration combined with STEM, AFM-nanoIR, SEM-EDS, XRD, and FTIR analysis. The results demonstrated that a fast attenuation of H+, SO42-, and metal(loid)s happened as the effluent flowed through the waste-rock dump. The Fe, As, Ni, and Cu were distributed across all colloidal sizes and primarily transported in the nano-colloidal phase (3 kDa-0.1 μm). An increasing pH induced a higher percentage of large Fe colloid fractions (> 0.1 μm) associated with greater sequestration of trace metals, and the values for As from 39.5 % to 54.4 %, Ni from 40.8 % to 75.7 %, and Cu from 43.7 % to 56.0 %, respectively. The Fe-bearing colloids in AMD upstream (pH ≤ 3.0) were primarily composed of Fe-O-S and Fe-O-C with minor Al-Si-O and Ca-O-S, while in less acidic and alkaline sections (pH ≥ 4.1), they were composed of Fe-O with minor Ca-O-S. The iron colloid agglomerates associated with As, Ni, and Cu precipitated coupling the transformation of jarosite, and schwertmannite to ferrihydrite, goethite, and gypsum. These results demonstrate that the formation and transformation of Fe-bearing colloids response to this unique geochemical gradient help to understand the natural metal(loid)s attenuation along the coal waste dump.

Abstract
Background On January 8, 2023, a change in the control policy for COVID-19 was implemented in China, whereby patient self-management of fever typically entails the utilization of over-the-counter fever-reducing medications. Objective This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward over-the-counter (OTC) antipyretics among fever patients. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2022 and February 2023 at author's hospital in Wuhan, China, among fever patients on OTC antipyretics, using a self-administered questionnaire. Results A total of 481 valid questionnaires were collected, with the age of 36.05 ± 12.10 years, including 240 (49.90%) males, and 209 (43.45%) collected before policy change. The knowledge, attitudes, precautions for medication administration and decision-making practices scores were 6.86 ± 3.30 (possible range: 0-12), 16.67 ± 2.46 (possible range: 7-35), 29.98 ± 5.41 (possible range: 7-35) and 27.87 ± 1.28 (possible range: 8-40), respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that knowledge (OR = 0.83, 95%CI: 0.81-0.92, p < 0.001) was independently associated with positive attitude. Knowledge (OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.28-1.56, p < 0.001), attitude (OR = 0.87, 95%CI: 0.79-0.95, p = 0.004), suburban (OR = 0.45, 95%CI: 0.23-0.88, p = 0.019) were independently associated with proactive precautions for medication administration practices. Knowledge (OR = 1.14, 95%CI: 1.07-1.22, p < 0.001), attitude (OR = 0.90, 95%CI: 0.82-0.98, p = 0.018), responding after policy change, 2023 (OR = 1.70, 95%CI: 1.10-2.63, p = 0.016) were independently associated with proactive decision making practices. Conclusion Fever patients had moderate knowledge, negative attitude, proactive precautions for medication administration practices, moderate decision-making practices. After the policy change, there was a significant increase in knowledge regarding medication administration precautions and decision-making.

Abstract
In this study, the optimal forming parameters for printing flexible circuits using aerosol jet printing technology are explored through numerical simulation and experiments. The printhead during the deposition process is numerically simulated. By employing the controlled variable method, the process parameters such as gas flow rate, working distance, nozzle diameter, and printing speed are selected to investigate their effects on the morphology of the printed lines. Accordingly, single-factor experiments are designed to validate the printing of flexible circuits on both planar and curved substrates. Laser micro-sintering is utilized to improve the conductivity of the printed lines and ultimately fabricate flexible strain sensors. Under the sheath gas flow rate of 400 sccm, carrier gas flow rate of 100 sccm, working distance of 3 mm, nozzle diameter of 500 μm, and printing speed of 10 mm/s, the optimal morphology of the printed lines is achieved with low linewidth characteristics. The variations in the focal ratio, working distance, nozzle diameter, and printing speed significantly affect the minimum feature line width and morphology of the printed lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are a new maintenance therapy option for patients with ovarian cancer (OC). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and influencing factors of the novel PARP inhibitor niraparib for maintenance treatment of Chinese patients with advanced OC. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective multicenter real-world study patients with advanced OC from 15 hospitals throughout China were enrolled. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) and the secondary endpoints included the time to treatment discontinuation and safety. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used to identify possible risk factors for PFS, after which a prediction model was established to evaluate the likelihood of achieving an 18-month PFS. The relationship between the dose of niraparib and PFS was also evaluated. RESULTS The PFS rates of 199 patients at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months were 87.4%, 75.9%, 63.6%, 56.1%, and 51.8%, respectively. LASSO regression model revealed that only age < 65 years (P = 0.011), BRCA mutations (P < 0.001), and R0 status after cytoreductive surgery (P = 0.01) were significant factors associated with prolonged PFS times. Based on the LASSO logistic regression analysis, a clinical prediction formula was developed: - 2.412 + 1.396Age≥65yr + 2.374BRCAwt + 1.387R1 + 0.793Interval≥12w + 0.178BMI>24kg/m2 which yielded a cut-off value of 0.091, an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.839 (0.763-0.916), a sensitivity of 94.3%, and an accuracy of 78.5%. A nomogram was then built to visualize the results. The major treatment-emergent adverse events of ≥ grade 3 included a platelet count decrease (19.1%), white blood cell count decrease (15.1%), neutrophil count decrease (13.1%), and anemia (18.6%). The 18-month PFS rates in patients treated with 200 mg niraparib were somewhat higher than in patients treated with 100 mg after 3-months of therapy. CONCLUSIONS For Chinese OC patients, niraparib, particularly at a 200 mg individual starting dose, was an effective therapy with easily manageable safety.

Abstract
We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a high-spatial-resolution distributed acoustic sensor based on time-frequency-multiplexing (TFM) optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR). The TFM technique enhances the frequency response of OFDR by multiplexing the time-frequency channels and suppresses the crosstalk in the meantime. Phase demodulation is employed to achieve high sensitivity, and the impact of end effect in OFDR is studied and suppressed by a dedicated linear interpolation. In the results, a 10.5 kHz vibration is measured with 22 cm spatial resolution and 20 dB signal-to-noise ratio on a 1 km fiber. By adjusting the parameters, the system also shows a good DAS performance on a 33 kHz vibration with up to 200 kHz sampling rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remimazolam is a novel ultrashort-effect benzodiazepine. In 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration approved it for procedural sedation. Remimazolam is beneficial for consistent sedation and quick recovery in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. Propofol is one of the most commonly used intravenous anesthetics in clinical practice. Recently, only a few studies have compared propofol with remimazolam for general anesthesia induction. OBJECTIVES The purpose of our systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the hemodynamic effects of remimazolam and propofol during the induction of general anesthesia. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials. METHODS The authors retrieved the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for studies published through September 30, 2022, which reported relevant prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing remimazolam with propofol for general anesthesia. The primary outcome was hemodynamic changes, including the absolute value of fluctuation of mean arterial pressure (delta MAP) and heart rate delta HR). The secondary outcomes were the following 2 indicators: the occurrence of total adverse events and the quality of recovery from general anesthesia at 24 hours postsurgery. RevMan 5.4.1 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre for The Cochrane Collaboration) and trial sequential analysis were used to execute the statistical analyses. The different domains of bias were judged by the Cochrane risk of the bias assessment tool. RESULTS The authors identified 189 papers in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Eight articles with 964 patients were selected. The included studies had moderate quality. For primary outcomes, the lower delta HR (mean difference [MD] = -4.99; 95% CI, -7.97 to -2.00; I² = 41.6%; P = 0.001] and delta MAP (MD = -5.91; 95% CI. -8.57 to -3.24; I² = 0%; P < 0.0001) represent more stable hemodynamic characteristics in the remimazolam group. Regarding secondary outcomes, a considerably lower incidence of total adverse events was noted in the remimazolam group than that for the propofol group (odds ratio [OR] = 0.40; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.58; I² = 63%; P < 0.00001). In comparison to the propofol group, remimazolam achieved an advantage score of quality of recovery -15 in 24 hours postsurgery (MD = 5.31, 95% CI, 1.51 to 9.12; I² = 87%; P = 0.006). LIMITATION Firstly, there are only a handful of published RCTs on the administration of remimazolam in general anesthesia. In addition, due to patient privacy, we could not extract individual patient data, therefore we could not combine and assess any variations in patient characteristics. CONCLUSION Evidence suggests that remimazolam has a lower hemodynamic effect during general anesthesia and fewer perioperative adverse effects after general anesthesia than propofol; however, which agent is superior regarding quality benefit in postoperative recovery based on the studies included here remains inconclusive. Additional RCTs with updated meta-analyses to enlarge the sample size and properly analyze the benefit-to-risk ratio to patients are needed to determine the evidence for such a relatively new medicine.

Abstract
Acceptance of artificial pelleted diets contributes to increasing the cultured areas and output of carnivorous fish. However, the mechanism of acceptance of artificial pelleted diets remains largely unknown. In this study, the easy acceptance of artificial pelleted diets (EAD) group and the not easy acceptance of artificial pelleted diets (NAD) group of Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were divided based on the ratios of stomach weight/body weight (SB) after 0.5 h feeding, which was bigger than 18% in the EAD group and ranged from 8 to 12% in the NAD group. Through transcriptome and proteome sequencing, a total of 2463 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 230 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified, respectively. Integrated analyses of transcriptome and proteome data revealed that 152 DEPs were matched with the corresponding DEGs (named co-DEGs-DEPs), and 54 co-DEGs-DEPs were enriched in 16 KEGG pathways, including the metabolic pathways, steroid biosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, etc. Furthermore, 3 terpenoid backbone biosynthesis-related genes (Hmgcr, Hmgcs, and Fdps) in metabolic pathways, 10 steroid biosynthesis-related genes (Fdft1, Sqle, Lss, Cyp51a1, Tm7sf2, Nsdhl, Hsd17b7, Dhcr24, Sc5d, and Dhcr7), and 3 fatty acid biosynthesis-related genes (Acaca, Fasn, and Ascl) were all up-regulated in the EAD group, suggesting that the lipid metabolism pathway and steroid biosynthesis pathway play important roles in early food habit domestication in Largemouth bass. In addition, the detection results of randomly selected 15 DEGs and 15 DEPs indicated that both transcriptome and proteome results in the study were reliable. Our study provides useful information for further research on the mechanisms of food habit domestication in fish.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exhaled air has been demonstrated as a reliable medium for monitoring propofol concentration. However, online monitoring of exhaled ciprofol have not been reported. METHODS Thirty-six beagles undergoing mechanical ventilation were divided into 6 groups, including bolus injection of low (Group BL, n = 6), medium (Group BM, n = 6), and high dose of ciprofol (Group BH, n = 6) groups; as well as 1 h continuous infusion of low (Group IL, n = 6), medium (Group IM, n = 6), and high dose of ciprofol (Group IH, n = 6) groups. The ciprofol concentration in exhaled air (CE) was determined by the ultraviolet time-of-flight mass spectrometer (UV-TOFMS). The correlations of CE and plasma concentration (Cp), CE and the bispectral index (BIS) were explored. Additionally, the pharmacokinetics (PK) models of CE and Cp, the pharmacodynamics (PD) models of CE and BIS were also established. RESULTS Online monitoring of exhaled ciprofol can be achieved with the UV-TOFMS instrument. The CE of ciprofol in beagles was found at parts per billion by volume (ppbv) level. The linear correlation of CE and Cp was weak in bolus injection groups (R2 = 0.01) nonetheless moderate in continuous infusion groups (R2 = 0.53). The i.v. bolus PK model of CE and Cp can be fitted with the non-compartment models. Additionally, the the PD models of CE and BIS can be well fitted with the inhibitory sigmoid Emax model with the estimate values of IC50 = 0.05 ± 0.01 ppbv, γ = 4.74 ± 1.51, E0 = 81.40 ± 3.75, Imax = 16.35 ± 4.27 in bolus injection groups; and IC50 = 0.05 ± 0.01 ppbv, γ = 6.92 ± 1.30, E0 = 83.08 ± 1.62, Imax = 12.58 ± 1.65 in continuous infusion groups. CONCLUSIONS Online monitoring of exhaled ciprofol concentration in beagles can be achieved with the UV-TOFMS instrument. Good correlations can be observed between exhaled ciprofol concentration and its cerebral effects reflected by the BIS value, demonstrating the potential of exhaled ciprofol monitoring for titrating depth of anesthesia in future clinical setting.

Abstract
Electrically generated spin-orbit torque (SOT) has emerged as a powerful pathway to control magnetization for spintronic applications including memory, logic, and neurocomputing. However, the requirement of external magnetic fields, together with the ultrahigh current density, is the main obstacle for practical SOT devices. In this paper, we report that the field-free SOT-driven magnetization switching can be successfully realized by interfacial ion absorption in perpendicular Ta/CoFeB/MgO multilayers. Besides, the tunable SOT efficiency exhibits a strong dependence on interfacial Ti insertion thicknesses. Polarized neutron reflection measurements demonstrate the existence of canted magnetization with Ti inserted, which leads to deterministic magnetization switching. In addition, interfacial characterization and first-principles calculations reveal that B absorption by the Ti layer is the main cause behind the enhanced interfacial transparency, which determines the tunable SOT efficiency. Our findings highlight an attractive scheme to a purely electric control spin configuration, enabling innovative designs for SOT-based spintronics via interfacial engineering.

Abstract
Salt stress is a negative environmental factors to affecting plants. Salinity inhibits seed germination and root growth, which reduces the biomass of agricultural plants. BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2) functions as a signalling hub to integrate the perception and transduction of plant growth and stress tolerance by the phosphorylation of target proteins. However, only a small number of target molecules have been discovered thus far. In this study, we present evidence that BIN2 controls the post-transcriptional activity of AGL16. BIN2 interacts and phosphorylates AGL16, which increases AGL16 stability and transcriptional activity. Genetic testing showed that the agl16 mutant can restore the reduction in the seed germination rate and primary root growth of the bin2-1 mutant, while the overexpression of AGL16 in the bin2-3bil1bil2 mutant reduced the salt tolerance compared with bin2-3bil1bil2 in response to salt stress. Taken together, our data identify a BIN2-AGL16 core protein module that is mediates the inhibition of seed germination and primary root growth under salt stress.

Abstract
Some studies have shown that lyophilization significantly improves the stability of mRNA-LNPs and enables long-term storage at 2-8 °C. However, there is little research on the lyophilization process of mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Most previous studies have used empirical lyophilization with only a single lyoprotectant, resulting in low lyophilization efficiency, often requiring 40-100 h. In the present study, an efficient lyophilization method suitable for mRNA-LNPs was designed and optimized, shortening the total length of the lyophilization process to 8-18 h, which significantly reduced energy consumption and production costs. When the mixed lyoprotectant composed of sucrose, trehalose, and mannitol was added to mRNA-LNPs, the eutectic point and collapse temperature of the system were increased. The lyophilized product had a ginger root-shaped rigid structure with large porosity, which tolerated rapid temperature increases and efficiently removed water. In addition, the lyophilized mRNA-LNPs rapidly rehydrated and had good particle size distribution, encapsulation rate, and mRNA integrity. The lyophilized mRNA-LNPs were stable at 2-8 °C, and they did not reduce immunogenicity in vivo or in vitro. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to compare the phospholipid molecular layer with the lyoprotectant in aqueous and anhydrous environments to elucidate the mechanism of lyophilization to improve the stability of mRNA-LNPs. This efficient lyophilization platform significantly improves the accessibility of mRNA-LNPs.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to compare the effect of the modified ultrasound-guided anterior superior laryngeal nerve block (SLNB) with the traditional ultrasound-guided posterior SLNB in providing intubation conditions during awake tracheal intubation (ATI) in patients without difficult airway. DESIGN Randomized, assessor-blind. Registration number: ChiCTR2200058086. SETTING West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, China. PATIENTS 104 patients aged 18-65 years, of American Society of Anesthesiologists status I-III, posted for elective general surgery with general endotracheal anesthesia. INTERVENTIONS The patients were randomized into two groups (modified group, n = 52; traditional group, n = 52). Modified anterior SLNB or traditional posterior SLNB was performed under ultrasound guidance. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was the proportion of acceptable intubation condition (AIC), which was analyzed in both per-protocol (PP) and intention-to-treat (ITT) populations. The prespecified non-inferiority margin was -4.8%. Secondary outcomes included intubation success rate on the first attempt, hemodynamic parameters during ATI, time taken for airway anesthesia and intubation, recall of intubation, patient perception of comfort, and incidence and severity of postoperative complications. MAIN RESULTS In the PP population, the proportion of AIC in the modified group was 49/49 (100%) and that in the traditional group was 49/49 (100%), absolute difference 0, lower limit of 1-sided 95% CI, -0.3%. In the ITT population, the primary outcomes in the modified and traditional group were 52/52 (100%) and 51/52 (98.1%), respectively, with an absolute difference of 1.9% and a lower limit of 1-sided 95% CI of -1.2%. The non-inferiority of modified ultrasound-guided anterior SLNB was confirmed in both populations. CONCLUSIONS Among adults without difficult airways during videolaryngoscope-assisted ATI, the modified ultrasound-guided anterior SLNB, compared to the traditional posterior approach, showed a statistically non-inferior effect in terms of providing AIC.

Abstract
Introduction The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has become the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant and exhibits immune escape to current COVID-19 vaccines, the further boosting strategies are required. Methods We have conducted a non-randomized, open-label and parallel-controlled phase 4 trial to evaluate the magnitude and longevity of immune responses to booster vaccination with intramuscular adenovirus vectored vaccine (Ad5-nCoV), aerosolized Ad5-nCoV, a recombinant protein subunit vaccine (ZF2001) or homologous inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac) in those who received two doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines. Results The aerosolized Ad5-nCoV induced the most robust and long-lasting neutralizing activity against Omicron variant and IFNg T-cell response among all the boosters, with a distinct mucosal immune response. SARS-CoV-2-specific mucosal IgA response was substantially generated in subjects boosted with the aerosolized Ad5-nCoV at day 14 post-vaccination. At month 6, participants boosted with the aerosolized Ad5-nCoV had remarkably higher median titer and seroconversion of the Omicron BA.4/5-specific neutralizing antibody than those who received other boosters. Discussion Our findings suggest that aerosolized Ad5-nCoV may provide an efficient alternative in response to the spread of the Omicron BA.4/5 variant.

Abstract
Synthetic hydrogels struggle to match the high strength, toughness, and recoverability of biological tissues under periodic mechanical loading. Although the hydrophobic polymer chain of polystyrene (PS) may initially collapse into a nanosphere upon contact with water, it has the ability to be elongated when it is subjected to an external force. To address this challenge, we employ the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method to design a carboxyl-substituted polystyrene (CPS) which can form a covalently cross-linked network with four-armed amino-terminated polyethylene glycol (4-armed-PEG-NH2), and a ductile polyacrylamide network is introduced in order to prepare a double-network (DN) hydrogel. Our results demonstrate that the DN hydrogel exhibits exceptional mechanical properties (0.62 kJ m-2 fracture energy, 2510.89 kJ m-3 toughness, 0.43 MPa strength, and 820% elongation) when a sufficient external force is applied to fracture it. Moreover, when the DN hydrogel is subjected to a 200% strain, it displays superior recoverability (94.5%). This holds a significant potential in enhancing the mechanical performance of synthetic hydrogels and can have wide-ranging applications in fields such as tissue engineering for hydrophobic polymers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aerosolised Ad5-nCoV is one of the first licensed mucosal respiratory vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in the world; however, the safety profile of this vaccine has not been reported in a large population yet. METHODS This multicentre, open-label phase 3 trial, done in 15 centres in six provinces (Jiangsu, Hunan, Anhui, Chongqing, Yunnan, Shandong) in China, aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of aerosolised Ad5-nCoV in healthy adults (members of the general population with no acute febrile disorders, infectious disease, serious cardiovascular diseases, serious chronic diseases or progressive diseases that cannot be controlled) at least 18 years old, who had received two doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine as their primary regimen. This study contained a non-randomly assigned safety cohort and a centrally randomly assigned (1:1) immunogenicity subcohort. The patients in the immunogenicity subcohort received aerosolised Ad5-nCov (aerosolised Ad5-nCoV group) or inactivated vaccine (inactivated COVID-19 group) The primary endpoints were the incidence of adverse reactions within 28 days following the booster vaccination with aerosolised Ad5-nCoV in the safety population (collected through a daily record of any solicited or unsolicited adverse events filled by each participant) and the geometric mean titre of neutralising antibodies at day 28 after the booster dose in the immunogenicity subcohort (measured with a pseudovirus neutralisation test). This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05204589. FINDINGS Between Jan 22, 2022, and March 12, 2022, we recruited 11 410 participants who were screened for eligibility, of whom 10 267 (99·8%) participants (5738 [55·9%] men, 4529 [44·1%] women; median age 53 years [18-92]) received the study drugs: 9847 (95·9%) participants in the open-label cohort to receive aerosolised Ad5-nCoV, and 420 (4·1%) in the immunogenicity subcohort (212 in the aerosolised Ad5-nCoV group and 208 in the inactivated vaccine group). Adverse reactions were reported by 1299 (13%) of 10 059 participants within 28 days after receiving the booster vaccination with aerosolised Ad5-nCoV, but most of the adverse reactions reported were mild to moderate in severity. Participants in the aerosolised Ad5-nCoV group had a significantly higher level of the neutralising antibodies against omicron BA.4/5 (GMT 107·7 [95% CI 88·8-130·7]) than did those in the inactivated vaccine group (17·2 [16·3-18·2]) at day 28. INTERPRETATION The heterologous booster regimen with aerosolised Ad5-nCoV is safe and highly immunogenic, boosting both systemic and mucosal immunity against omicron subvariants.

Abstract
This study aims at generation of a novel artificial bee colony algorithm using surrogate finite element method with neural network technique. In this paper, theory of surrogate finite element method with physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are generated and applied to deal with the geometrically nonlinear optimization problem of size, shape and topology for single-layer domes. In the artificial bee colony algorithm, the feedforward neural network is used to surrogate finite element analyses. Three numerical examples of 10-bar truss, Lamella dome, and Kiewit dome are carried out to verify feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method. Results of the present study are in good agreement with ones from literature. It is indicated that optimization processes can be considerably accelerated using the modified algorithm. That is, using the neural network surrogate-based models could significantly increase computational efficiency of structural optimum design for single-layer domes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke is a permanent neurological impairment resulting from the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in the brain. The effectiveness of "Lifting Yang to Dredging Du Meridian Manipulation" (LYDD) acupuncture in clinical treatment of ischemic stroke patients has been well-established. Nevertheless, its mechanism is still uncertain. METHODS MCAO/R rat models at different time points of reperfusion (24, 36, 48 and 72 h) were constructed, and LYDD acupuncture treatment was performed. Zea-Longa score and TTC staining were used for assessing neurological impairment and cerebral infarct in rats, respectively. The pathological changes of cerebral tissue in each group were observed by HE and Nissl's staining. Cerebral tissue from each group was subjected to RNA-seq, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were performed for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, and hub gene was identified based on the String database and MCODE algorithm. RESULTS LYDD acupuncture treatment significantly reduced Zea-Longa score, dry-wet weight ratio, infarct area, inflammatory factor levels (IL-1β and TNF-α), cerebral lesions, number of Nissl body and neuronal apoptosis in the MCAO/R model at different time points of reperfusion. A total of 3518 DEGs were identified in the MCAO/R model compared to the control group, and 3461 DEGs were present in the treatment group compared to the MCAO/R model, and they may be implicated in neurotransmitter transmission, synaptic membrane potential, cell junctions, inflammatory response, immune response, cell cycle, and ECM. The expression trends of BIRC3, LTBR, PLCG2, TLR4 and TRADD mRNAs in the Hub gene were consistent with the RNA-seq results, and LYDD acupuncture treatment significantly inhibited MCAO/R-induced p65 nuclear translocation. CONCLUSIONS LYDD acupuncture ameliorates cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting NF-κB pathway activity.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Developments of automated systems for brain metastasis (BM) detection and segmentation from MRI for assisting early detection and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) have been reported but most based upon relatively small datasets from single institutes. This work aims to develop and evaluate a system using a large multi-institutional dataset, and to improve both identification of small/subtle BMs and segmentation accuracy of large BMs. MATERIALS/METHODS A 3D U-Net system was trained and evaluated to detect and segment intraparenchymal BMs with a size > 2mm using 1856 MRI volumes from 1791 patients treated with SRS from seven institutions (1539 volumes for training, 183 for validation, and 134 for testing). All patients had 3D post-Gd T1w MRI scans pre-SRS. Gross tumor volumes (GTVs) of BMs for SRS were curated by each institute first. Then, additional efforts were spent to create GTVs for the untreated and/or uncontoured BMs, including central reviews by two radiologists, to improve accuracy of ground truth. The training dataset was augmented with synthetic BMs of 3773 MRIs using a 3D generative pipeline. Our system consists of two U-Nets with one using small 3D patches dedicated for detecting small BMs and another using large 3D patches for segmenting large BMs, and a random-forest based fusion module for combining the two network outputs. The first U-Net was trained with 3D patches containing at least one BM < 0.1 cm3. For detection performance, we measured BM-level sensitivity and case-level false-positive (FP) rate. For segmentation performance, we measured BM-level Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and 95-percentile Hausdorff distance (HD95). We also stratified performances based upon BM sizes. RESULTS For 739 BMs in the 134 testing cases, the overall lesion-level sensitivity was 0.870 with an average case-level FP of 1.34±1.92 (95% CI: 1.02-1.67). The sensitivity was >0.969 for the BMs >0.1 cm3, but dropped to 0.755 for the BMs < 0.1 cm3 (Table 1). The average DSC and HD95 for all detected BMs were 0.786 and 1.35mm. The worse performance for BMs > 20 cm3 was caused by a case with 83 cm3 GTV and artifacts in the MRI volume. CONCLUSION We achieved excellent detection sensitivity and segmentation accuracy for BMs > 0.1 cm3, and promising performance for small BMs (<0.1cm3) with a controlled FP rate using a large multi-institutional dataset. Clinical utility for assisting early detection and SRS planning will be investigated. Table 1: Per-lesion detection and segmentation performance stratified by individual BM size.

Abstract
We and others have reported that systematic stimulation of the central innate immune system by a low dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can improve depression-like behavior in chronically stressed animals. However, it is unclear whether similar stimulation by intranasal administration could improve depression-like behavior in animals. We investigated this question using monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), a derivative of LPS that lacks the adverse effects of LPS but is still immuno-stimulatory. We found that a single intranasal administration of MPL at a dose of 10 or 20 µg/mouse, but not at a dose of 5 µg/mouse, ameliorated chronic unpredictable stress (CUS)-induced depression-like behavior in mice, as evidenced by the decrease in immobility time in tail suspension test and forced swimming test and the increase in sucrose intake in sucrose preference test. In the time-dependent analysis, the antidepressant-like effect of a single intranasal MPL administration (20 µg/mouse) was observed 5 and 8 h but not 3 h after drug administration and persisted for at least 7 days. Fourteen days after the first intranasal MPL administration, a second intranasal MPL administration (20 µg/mouse) still showed an antidepressant-like effect. The innate immune response mediated by microglia might mediate the antidepressant-like effect of intranasal MPL administration, because both inhibition of microglial activation by pretreatment with minocycline and depletion of microglia by pretreatment with PLX3397 prevented the antidepressant-like effect of intranasal MPL administration. These results suggest that intranasal administration of MPL can produce significant antidepressant-like effects in animals under chronic stress conditions via stimulation of microglia.

Abstract
Bismuth chalcohalides (BiSeI and BiSI), a class of superior light absorbers, have recently garnered great attention owing to their promise in constructing next-generation optoelectronic devices. However, to date, the photodetection application of bismuth chalcohalides is still limited due to the challenge in controllable preparation. Herein, the synthesis of large-scale quasi-1D BiSeI nanowires via chemical vapor deposition growth is reported. By precisely tuning the growth temperature and the Se supply, it can effectively control the growth thermodynamics and kinetics of BiSeI crystal, and thus achieve high purity quasi-1D BiSeI nanowires with high crystal quality, uniform diameter, and tunable domain length. Theory and optical characterizations of the quasi-1D BiSeI nanowires reveal an indirect bandgap of 1.57 eV with prominent optical linear dichroism. As a result, the quasi-1D BiSeI nanowire-based photodetector demonstrates a broadband photoresponse (400-800 nm) with high responsivity of 5880 mA W-1 , fast response speed of 0.11 ms and superior air stability. More importantly, the photodetector displays strong polarization sensitivity (anisotropic ratio = 1.77) under the 532 nm light irradiation. This work will provide important guides to the synthesis of other quais-1D metal chalcohalides and shed light on their potential in constructing novel multifunctional optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. Neuroinflammation involving the activation of microglia and astrocytes constitutes an important and common mechanism in epileptogenesis. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a calcium-permeable, non-selective cation channel that plays pathological roles in various inflammation-related diseases. Our previous study demonstrated that Trpm2 knockout exhibits therapeutic effects on pilocarpine-induced glial activation and neuroinflammation. However, whether TRPM2 in microglia and astrocytes plays a common pathogenic role in this process and the underlying molecular mechanisms remained undetermined. Here, we demonstrate a previously unknown role for microglial TRPM2 in epileptogenesis. Trpm2 knockout in microglia attenuated kainic acid (KA)-induced glial activation, inflammatory cytokines production and hippocampal paroxysmal discharges, whereas Trpm2 knockout in astrocytes exhibited no significant effects. Furthermore, we discovered that these therapeutic effects were mediated by upregulated autophagy via the adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in microglia. Thus, our findings highlight an important deleterious role of microglial TRPM2 in temporal lobe epilepsy.

Abstract
In order to improve the fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of NIR-II-emitting nanoparticles, D-A-D fluorophores are typically linked to intramolecular rotatable units to reduce aggregation-induced quenching. However, incorporating such units often leads to a twisted molecular backbone, which affects the coupling within the D-A-D unit and, as a result, lowers the absorption. Here, we overcome this limitation by cross-linking the NIR-II fluorophores to form a 2D polymer network, which simultaneously achieves a high QY by well-controlled fluorophore separation and strong absorption by restricting intramolecular distortion. Using the strategy, we developed polymer dots with the highest NIR-II single-particle brightness among reported D-A-D-based nanoparticles and applied them for imaging of hindlimb vasculatures and tumors as well as fluorescence-guided tumor resection. The high brightness of the polymer dots offered exceptional image quality and excellent surgical results, showing a promising performance for these applications.

Abstract
Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the major subtype of lung cancer and has a poor prognosis. Disulfidptosis is a novel regulated cell death form characterized by aberrant disulfide stress and actin network collapse. This study aimed to identify disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs, and predict LUAD patients' prognosis and response to antitumor therapies by establishing a disulfidptosis-related lncRNA model. Methods: Transcriptome and clinical data of LUAD patients were obtained from the TCGA database. Pearson correlation and Cox regression analysis was used to identify disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs associated with overall survival. LASSO regression analysis was adopted to construct the prognostic model. GO, KEGG and GSEA analysis was used to identify cellular pathways related to this model. Immune cell infiltration was investigated by ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT algorithms. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) and its association with model-derived risk score were analyzed using simple nucleotide variation data. Patients' response to immunotherapy and other antineoplastic drugs was predicted by the TIDE algorithm and GDSC tool, respectively. Results: We identified 127 disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs, and a prognostic model that consists eight of them (KTN1-AS1, AL365181.3, MANCR, LINC01352, AC090559.1, AC093673.1, AP001094.3, and MHENCR) was established and verified. The prognostic model could stratify LUAD patients into two distinct risk-score groups. A high risk score was an independent prognosis factor indicating poor overall survival, and correlated with reduced immune cell infiltration, high TMB, and lower activity of tumor immune response. Immune checkpoint blockade might bring more survival benefits to the high-risk LUAD patients, whereas low-risk patients might be more responsive to targeted therapy and diverse kinase inhibitors. Conclusion: We established a disulfidptosis-related lncRNA model that can be exploited to predict the prognosis, tumor mutational burden, immune cell infiltration landscape, and response to immunotherapy and targeted therapy in LUAD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the anti-tumor effect of moxibustion with seed-sized moxa cones on Hepa1-6 liver cancer bearing (HLCB) mice and its regulatory mechanism on cell apoptosis. METHODS A total of 40 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, moxibustion, cyclophosphamide (CTX) and moxibustion+CTX groups, with 10 mice in each group. The HLCB model was established by subcutaneous inoculation of Hepa1-6 cancer cells into the right armpit. Mice of the CTX and moxibustion+CTX groups were given intraperitoneal injection of CTX (30 mg/kg), once daily for 3 days. Moxibustion with seed-sized moxa cones were applied to "Dazhui" (GV14), bilateral"Zusanli" (ST36) and "Sanyinjiao" (SP6), with 5 moxa cones for each acupoint, once daily for 10 consecutive days. The survival status scores and body weight of HLCB mice were observed, and the tumor weight and tumor inhibition rate were detected. HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of tumor tissue. ELISA was used to detect the levels of serum interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Western blot and fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of cysteine aspartate protease (Caspase) -3 and Caspase-9 in tumor tissues, separately. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the survival status scores, body weight, serum IL-2 and TNF-α levels were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), the tumor weight and serum IL-4 levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in the moxibustion group;while the survival status, body weight, tumor weight, serum IL-2 and IL-4 levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), the content of TNF-α was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the CTX group. The protein and mRNA expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 in the 3 trentment groups were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). In comparison with the moxibustion group, the survival status scores, body weight and tumor weight, serum content of IL-2 were significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05). In contrast to the CTX group, the survival status scores, body weight, serum IL-2 and TNF-α content, and the expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 in tumor tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), and the tumor weight and serum IL-4 content were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in the moxibustion+CTX group. Results of HE staining showed that the tumor cells in the control group had clear nuclear membranes and nucleoli, with more dividing cells; while less nuclear division and an increase in tumor necrosis areas were found in the 3 treatment groups. CONCLUSION Moxibustion with seed-size moxa cone can enhance the anti-tumor effect of CTX and improve the quality of life of HLCB mice, which may be related with its effect in activating the expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 in tumor tissue.

Abstract
Dirigent (DIR) proteins play essential roles in regulating plant growth and development, as well as enhancing resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the whole-genome identification and expression profiling analysis of DIR gene family in millet (Setaria italica (Si)) have not been systematically understood. In this study, we conducted genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the S. italica DIR gene family, including gene structures, conserved domains, evolutionary relationship, chromosomal locations, cis-elements, duplication events, gene collinearity and expression patterns. A total of 38 SiDIR members distributed on nine chromosomes were screened and identified. SiDIR family members in the same group showed higher sequence similarity. The phylogenetic tree divided the SiDIR proteins into six subfamilies: DIR-a, DIR-b/d, DIR-c, DIR-e, DIR-f, and DIR-g. According to the tertiary structure prediction, DIR proteins (like SiDIR7/8/9) themselves may form a trimer to exert function. The result of the syntenic analysis showed that tandem duplication may play the major driving force during the evolution of SiDIRs. RNA-seq data displayed higher expression of 16 SiDIR genes in root tissues, and this implied their potential functions during root development. The results of quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) assays revealed that SiDIR genes could respond to the stress of CaCl2, CdCl, NaCl, and PEG6000. This research shed light on the functions of SiDIRs in responding to abiotic stress and demonstrated their modulational potential during root development. In addition, the membrane localization of SiDIR7/19/22 was confirmed to be consistent with the forecast. The results above will provide a foundation for further and deeper investigation of DIRs.

Abstract
The predatory natural enemy Eocanthecona furcellata plays a crucial role in agricultural ecosystems due to its effective pest control measures and defensive venom. Predator venom contains serine protease inhibitors (SPIs), which are the primary regulators of serine protease activity and play key roles in digestion, development, innate immunity, and other physiological regulatory processes. However, the regulation mechanism of SPIs in the salivary glands of predatory natural enemies is still unknown. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptome of E. furcellata salivary gland and identified 38 SPIs genes named EfSPI1∼EfSPI38. Through gene structure, multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) expression profiles of different developmental stages and different tissues were analyzed. RNAi technology was used to explore the gene function of EFSPI20. The results showed that these 38 EfSPIs genes contained 8 SPI domains, which were serpin, TIL, Kunitz, Kazal, Antistasin, Pacifastin, WAP and A2M. The expression profile results showed that the expression of different types of EfSPIs genes was different at different developmental stages and different tissues. Most of the EfSPIs genes were highly expressed in the egg stage. The EfSPI20, EfSPI21, EfSPI22, and EfSPI24 genes of the Pacifastin subfamily and the EfSPI35 gene of the A2M subfamily were highly expressed in the nymphal and adult stages, which was consistent with the RT-qPCR verification results. These five genes are positively correlated with each other and have a synergistic effect on E. furcellata, and they were highly expressed in salivary glands. After interfering with the expression of the EfSPI20 gene, the survival rate and predatory amount of male and female adults were significantly decreased. Taken together, we speculated some EfSPIs may inhibit trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase, and some EfSPIs may be involved in autoimmune responses. EfSPI20 was essential for the predation and digestion of E. furcellata, and the functions of other EfSPIs were discussed. Our findings provide valuable insights into the diversity of EfSPIs in E. furcellata and the potential functions of regulating their predation, digestion and innate immunity, which may be of great significance for developing new pest control strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An orally aerosolized adenovirus type-5 vector-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine (Ad5-nCoV) has recently been authorized for boosting immunization in China. Our study aims to assess the environmental impact of the use of aerosolized Ad5-nCoV. METHODS We collected air samples from rooms, swabs from the desks on which the vaccine nebulizer was set, mask samples from participants, and blood samples of nurses who administered the inoculation in the clinical trials. The viral load of adenovirus type-5 vector in the samples and the antibody levels against the wild-type severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain in serum were detected. RESULTS Only one (4.00%) air sample collected before initiation of vaccination was positive and most air samples collected during and after vaccination were positive (97.96%, 100%, respectively). All nurses in trial A showed at least 4-fold increase of the neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 after initiation of the study. In trial B, the proportion of positive mask samples was 72.97% at 30 minutes after vaccination, 8.11% at day 1, and 0% at days 3, 5, and 7. CONCLUSIONS Vaccination with the orally aerosolized Ad5-nCoV could result in some spillage of the vaccine vector viral particles in the environment and cause human exposure. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT04840992 and NCT05303584.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of mandatory laparotomy in treating traumatic peritonitis has been increasingly questioned recently. AIM To summarize and share the experience of conservative treatment of patients with multi-trauma induced peritonitis. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on patients with multiple injury induced traumatic peritonitis. RESULTS A total of 184 patients with multiple injury induced traumatic peritonitis were reviewed. 46 of them underwent conservative treatment. None of the 46 patients with conservative treatment switched to surgical treatment, and all of them were cured and discharged after successful conservative treatment. No significant abnormal findings were observed at regular follow-up after discharge. CONCLUSION Conservative management is safe, effective, feasible, and beneficial in hemodynamically stable patients with traumatic peritonitis if there is no definite evidence of severe abdominal visceral organ injury.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare anesthetic emergency with a high mortality rate in China. We developed a WeChat applet-based National Remote Emergency System for Malignant Hyperthermia (MH-NRES) to provide a real-time emergency system to help Chinese anesthesiologists deal with MH crises. However, it is imperative that close attention should be paid to the usability of the applet. PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the usability of the applet-based MH-NRES for anesthesiologists; and (2) to test the validity and reliability of a modified mHealth app usability questionnaire. METHODS A modified User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS) was designed. Together with System Usability Scale (SUS) and Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ), another two well-validated questionnaires, uMARS were then used to evaluate the usability of MH-NRES. The Cronbach alpha of the total score and the subscales of uMARS was calculated to evaluate the internal consistency. The correlation coefficients among three questionnaires were calculated. RESULTS In this study, 118 anesthesiologists provided responses to the questionnaire. The overall mean uMARS score was 4.43 ± 0.61, which ranged from 3 to 5. The mean PSSUQ score were in good to excellent range with mean of 6.02 ± 0.97, which ranged from 3.19 to 7. The overall SUS score was 76.0 ± 17.6, which ranged from 45 to 100. The total uMARS score had excellent internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = 0.984). uMARS and its subscales were strongly correlated with PSSUQ (coefficient 0.758-0.819, P < 0.001) and SUS (coefficient 0.535-0.561, P < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Data obtained from the usability evaluation questionnaires in this study indicated a high quality of the MH-NRES on the ease of use, satisfaction and perceived usefulness, which suggest this system might be a useful tool for anesthesiologists' education and management of MH crises. Future feedback from high-fidelity simulation and clinical scenarios are need for further usability evaluation of this system.

Abstract
Cytosine and adenosine base editors (CBEs and ABEs) are novel genome-editing tools that have been widely utilized in molecular breeding to precisely modify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) critical for plant agronomic traits and species evolution. However, conventional BE editors are limited to achieve C-to-T and A-to-G substitutions, respectively. To enhance the applicability of base editing technology in watermelon, we developed an efficient CGBE editor (SCGBE2.0) by removing the uracil glycosylase inhibitor (UGI) unit from the commonly used hA3A-CBE and incorporating the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) component. Seven specific guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting five watermelon genes were designed to assess the editing efficiency of SCGBE. The results obtained from stably transformed watermelon plants demonstrated that SCGBE2.0 could efficiently induce C-to-G mutations at positions C5-C9 in 43.2% transgenic plants (with a maximum base conversion efficiency of 46.1%) and C-to-A mutation at position C4 in 23.5% transgenic plants (with a maximum base conversion efficiency of 45.9%). These findings highlight the capability of our integrated SCGBE2.0 editor to achieve C-to-G/A mutations in a site-preferred manner, thus providing an efficient base editing tool for precise base modification and site-directed saturated mutagenesis in watermelon.

Abstract
Recent studies had reported that compounds that stimulate microglia could be developed as potential drugs for the treatment of depression due to their reversal effect on depression-like behaviors in chronically stressed mice. Zymosan A is a cell wall preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae composed of β-glucans. Based on its immuno-stimulatory activities, we hypothesized that zymosan A might have a therapeutic effect on depression. Our results showed that a single injection of zymosan A 5 h before behavioral tests at a dose of 1 or 2 mg/kg, but not at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg, reversed chronic unpredictable stress (CUS)-induced depression-like behaviors in mice in the tail suspension test, forced swimming test, and sucrose preference test. Time-dependent analysis showed that the antidepressant effect of zymosan A (2 mg/kg) in CUS mice became statistically significant at 5 and 8 h, but not at 3 h, and persisted for at least 7 days. Fourteen days after a single injection of zymosan A, no antidepressant effect was observed anymore. However, the disappeared antidepressant effect of zymosan A was restored by a second zymosan A injection (2 mg/kg, 5 h) 14 days after the first zymosan A injection. Stimulation of microglia was essential for the antidepressant effect of zymosan A because pre-inhibition of microglia by minocycline or pre-depletion of microglia by PLX3397 prevented the antidepressant effect of zymosan A. Based on these effects of zymosan A, zymosan A administration could be developed as a new strategy for the treatment of depression.

Abstract
Astrocytes play vital roles in the central nervous system, contributing significantly to both its normal functioning and pathological conditions. While their involvement in various diseases is increasingly recognized, their exact role in demyelinating lesions remains uncertain. Astrocytes have the potential to influence demyelination positively or negatively. They can produce and release inflammatory molecules that modulate the activation and movement of other immune cells. Moreover, they can aid in the clearance of myelin debris through phagocytosis and facilitate the recruitment and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, thereby promoting axonal remyelination. However, excessive or prolonged astrocyte phagocytosis can exacerbate demyelination and lead to neurological impairments. This review provides an overview of the involvement of astrocytes in various demyelinating diseases, emphasizing the underlying mechanisms that contribute to demyelination. Additionally, we discuss the interactions between oligodendrocytes, oligodendrocyte precursor cells and astrocytes as therapeutic options to support myelin regeneration. Furthermore, we explore the role of astrocytes in repairing synaptic dysfunction, which is also a crucial pathological process in these disorders.

Abstract
Soil seed bank is the growth and reproduction source of vegetation community, playing an important role in vegetation establishment, succession and renewal, biodiversity maintenance. This study has selected the nascent wetland in the Yellow River Delta (YRD) formed in 1996 as study area and investigated the diversity and key influencing factors of soil seed bank diversity. The study results show that: (1) The soil seed bank in the study area has a simple structure, containing relatively few species. A total of five plant species, which belong to four families and five genera, were found in this bank, with Phragmites australis and Suaeda salsa being the dominant plants. (2) All species are herbs without woody species. One herb is annual herb and the others are perennial herbs. (3) From the sea to the river, the changes rules of the overall density and diversity of the seed bank are not obvious. (4) The dispersal distance from salt and freshwater has a significant influence on the density of the soil seed bank but has no significant influence on the diversity. Meanwhile, the soil salt content has a significant negative influence on the diversity of seed banks. (5) Aboveground vegetation did not closely relationship with diversity of soil seed bank. All above results can provide basic data and scientific evidence for the conservation of vegetation communities in the nascent wetlands and vegetation restoration in the degraded wetlands in the YRD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterologous boosting is suggested to be of use in populations who have received inactivated COVID-19 vaccines. We aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a heterologous vaccination with the mRNA vaccine CS-2034 versus the inactivated BBIBP-CorV as a fourth dose, as well as the efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 omicron (BA.5) variant. METHODS This trial contains a randomised, double-blind, parallel-controlled study in healthy participants aged 18 years or older (group A) and an open-label cohort in participants 60 years and older (group B), who had received three doses of inactivated whole-virion vaccines at least 6 months before enrolment. Pregnant women and people with major chronic illnesses or a history of allergies were excluded. Eligible participants in group A were stratified by age (18-59 years and ≥60 years) and then randomised by SAS 9.4 in a ratio of 3:1 to receive a dose of the mRNA vaccine (CS-2034, CanSino, Shanghai, China) or inactivated vaccine (BBIBP-CorV, Sinopharm, Beijing, China). Safety and immunogenicity against omicron variants of the fourth dose were evaluated in group A. Participants 60 years and older were involved in group B for safety observations. The primary outcome was geometric mean titres (GMTs) of the neutralising antibodies against omicron and seroconversion rates against BA.5 variant 28 days after the boosting, and incidence of adverse reactions within 28 days. The intention-to-treat group was involved in the safety analysis, while all patients in group A who had blood samples taken before and after the booster were involved in the immunogenicity analysis. This trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry Centre (ChiCTR2200064575). FINDINGS Between Oct 13, and Nov 22, 2022, 320 participants were enrolled in group A (240 in the CS-2034 group and 80 in the BBIBP-CorV group) and 113 in group B. Adverse reactions after vaccination were more frequent in CS-2034 recipients (158 [44·8%]) than BBIBP-CorV recipients (17 [21·3%], p<0·0001). However, most adverse reactions were mild or moderate, with grade 3 adverse reactions only reported by eight (2%) of 353 participants receiving CS-2034. Heterologous boosting with CS-2034 elicited 14·4-fold (GMT 229·3, 95% CI 202·7-259·4 vs 15·9, 13·1-19·4) higher concentration of neutralising antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant BA.5 than did homologous boosting with BBIBP-CorV. The seroconversion rates of SARS-CoV-2-specific neutralising antibody responses were much higher in the mRNA heterologous booster regimen compared with BBIBP-CorV homologous booster regimen (original strain 47 [100%] of 47 vs three [18·8%] of 16; BA.1 45 [95·8%] of 48 vs two [12·5%] 16; and BA.5 233 [98·3%] of 240 vs 15 [18·8%] of 80 by day 28). INTERPRETATION Both the administration of mRNA vaccine CS-2034 and inactivated vaccine BBIBP-CorV as a fourth dose were well tolerated. Heterologous boosting with mRNA vaccine CS-2034 induced higher immune responses and protection against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 omicron infections compared with homologous boosting, which could support the emergency use authorisation of CS-2034 in adults.

Abstract
Owing to the advances in surgical technology, most solid tumours can be controlled by surgical excision. The priority should be tumour control, while some routine perioperative management might influence cancer progression in an unnoticed way. Moreover, it is increasingly recognized that effective perioperative management should include techniques to improve postoperative outcomes. These influences are elucidated by the different functions of circulating biomarkers in cancer patients. Here, circulating biomarkers with two types of clinical functions were reviewed: (i) circulating biomarkers for cancer progression monitoring, for instance, those related to cancer cell malignancy, tumour microenvironment formation, and early metastasis, and (ii) circulating biomarkers with relevance to postoperative outcomes, including systemic inflammation, immunosuppression, cognitive dysfunction, and pain management. This review aimed to provide new perspectives for the perioperative management of patients with cancer and highlight the potential clinical translation value of circulating biomarkers in improving outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is and will remain to be an important health problem in China, especially with an increasing proportion of younger patients who has more specific needs. In China, surgery to remove tumor burden followed by postoperative treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy based on clinicopathologic factors may be the best choice for stages IB3 and IIA2 patients. Radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer has been a classic landmark surgery in gynecology. The current trial is designed to evaluate whether there is a difference between laparoscopic RH and abdominal RH in cervical cancer (stages IB3 and IIA2) patient survival under stringent operation standards and consistent surgical oncologic principles. This paper reports the rationale, design, and implementation of the trial. METHODS/DESIGN This is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, open, blinded endpoint (PROBE) controlled trial. A total of 1104 patients with stage IB3 and IIA2 cervical cancer will be enrolled over a period of 3 years. Patients are randomized (1:1) to either the laparoscopic RH or the abdominal RH group. Patients will then be followed up for at least 5 years. The primary end point will be 5-year overall survival, and secondary endpoints include 5-year progression-free survival, recurrence, and quality of life measurements. DISCUSSION The study results will provide more convincing evidence-based information for stages IB3 and IIA2 cervical cancer patients and their gynecologic cancer surgeons in their choice of surgical method. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04939831 , retrospectively registered on 25 June 2021.

Abstract
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is often accompanied by cognitive dysfunction, which imposes a heavy burden on patients, their families, and society. Early identification and intervention are particularly important, but reliable biomarkers for identifying PD-related cognitive impairment at an early stage are currently lacking. Although numerous clinical studies have investigated the association between brain white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and cognitive decline, the findings regarding the relationships between WMH and cognitive dysfunction in PD patients have been inconsistent. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a meta-analysis of the effect of WMH on PD cognitive function. Methods This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. We systematically searched relevant literature from databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, and CBM. The retrieval time was limited to database records created up until December 31, 2022. Additionally, we manually retrieved references for full-text reading. Statistical data analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.0 software. Results This study encompassed 23 individual studies and involved 2,429 patients with PD. The group of PD with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) exhibited a significantly higher overall level of WMH than the group of PD with normal cognitive function (PD-NC) (SMD = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.21-0.52, p < 0.01). This finding was consistent across subgroup analyses based on different ethnicities (Asian or Caucasian), WMH assessment methods (visual rating scale or volumetry), and age matching. In addition to the overall differences in WMH load between the PD-MCI and PD-NC groups, the study found that specific brain regions, including periventricular white matter hyperintensity (PVH) and deep white matter hyperintensity (DWMH), had significantly higher WMH load in the PD-MCI group compared to the PD-NC group. The study also conducted a meta-analysis of WMH load data for PD with dementia (PDD) and PD without dementia (PDND), revealing that the overall WMH load in the PDD group was significantly higher than that in the PDND group (SMD = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.56-1.41, p < 0.01). This finding was consistent across subgroup analyses based on different ethnicities and age matching. Moreover, regarding specific brain regions (PVH or DWMH), the study found that the PDD group had significantly higher WMH load than the PDND group (p < 0.01). Conclusion WMH was associated with PD cognitive dysfunction. The early appearance of WMH may indicate PD with MCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between anemia and depression has been demonstrated in previous studies, but it's still unclear whether depressive symptoms as a hazard factor for anemia. The findings of a large-scale cross-sectional and longitudinal examination of such an association of among the middle-aged and elderly individuals in China were presented in our study. METHODS The data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011 and 2015 were evaluated. 10,179 and 5,887 participants were included in cross-sectional and longitudinal study, respectively. According to the World Health Organization, hemoglobin concentrations below 13 g/dL for males and 12 g/dL for females are considered anemia. The research population was separated into two groups based on scores of the 10-item short form of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10): the group with depressed symptoms had a score of more than 10 points, and the group with depressive disorder had a score of more than 20 points. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between anemia and varying degrees of depressive symptoms, utilizing three models based on adjusting for different types of covariates. RESULTS In our cross-sectional investigation, depression disorders were more likely to link to the occurrence of anemia (OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.02-1.77; P = 0.035). Additionally, there seems a linear connection between depression questionnaire scores and hemoglobin concentrations (r = - 0.053, P < 0.001). Depressive symptom was significantly associated with anemia over 4 years of follow-up, and the more intense the depressive symptoms, the greater the danger of anemia (depressive symptoms group: OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02-1.57, P = 0.032; depressive disorder group: OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.12-2.25, P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that depression symptoms seem related to anemia in the middle-aged and elderly in China cross-sectionally and longitudinally, and that the risk of anemia increases with the severity of depressive symptoms.

Abstract
Chronic pain is often associated with cognitive decline, which could influence the quality of the patient's life. Recent studies have suggested that Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is crucial for memory and learning. Nonetheless, the contribution of TLR3 to the pathogenesis of cognitive decline after chronic pain remains unclear. The level of TLR3 in hippocampal neurons increased in the chronic constriction injury (CCI) group than in the sham group in this study. Importantly, compared to the wild-type (WT) mice, TLR3 knockout (KO) mice and TLR3-specific neuronal knockdown mice both displayed improved cognitive function, reduced levels of inflammatory cytokines and neuronal apoptosis and attenuated injury to hippocampal neuroplasticity. Notably, extracellular RNAs (exRNAs), specifically double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), were increased in the sciatic nerve, serum, and hippocampus after CCI. The co-localization of dsRNA with TLR3 was also increased in hippocampal neurons. And the administration of poly (I:C), a dsRNA analog, elevated the levels of dsRNAs and TLR3 in the hippocampus, exacerbating hippocampus-dependent memory. In additon, the dsRNA/TLR3 inhibitor improved cognitive function after CCI. Together, our findings suggested that exRNAs, particularly dsRNAs, that were present in the condition of chronic neuropathic pain, activated TLR3, initiated downstream inflammatory and apoptotic signaling, caused damage to synaptic plasticity, and contributed to the etiology of cognitive impairment after chronic neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Recently, antibiotics have been frequently detected in the hyporheic zone (HZ) as a novel contaminant. Bioavailability assessment has gradually attracted more attention in order to provide a more realistic assessment of human health risks. In this study, two typical antibiotics, oxytetracycline (OTC) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ), were used as target pollutants in the HZ of the Zaohe-Weihe River, and the polar organics integrated sampler was used to analyze the variation of antibiotics bioavailability. According to the characteristics of the HZ, the total concentration of pollutants, pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO) were selected as major predictive factors to analyze their correlation with the antibiotics bioavailability. Then the predictive antibiotic bioavailability models were constructed by stepwise multiple linear regression method. The results showed that there was a highly significant negative correlation between OTC bioavailability and DO (P < 0.001), while SMZ bioavailability showed a highly significant negative correlation with total concentration of pollutants (P < 0.001) and a significant negative correlation with DO (P < 0.01). The results of correlation analysis were further verified by Principal Component Analysis. Based on the experimental data, we constructed eight prediction models for the bioavailability of two antibiotics and verified them. The data points of the six prediction models were distributed in the 95% prediction band, indicating that the models were more reliable and accurate. The prediction models in this study provide reference for the accurate ecological risk assessment of the bioavailability of pollutants in the HZ, and also provide a new idea for predicting the bioavailability of pollutants in practical applications.

Abstract
Violet phosphorus (VP), a newly emerging elemental 2D semiconductor, with attractive properties such as tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, and unusual structural anisotropy, offers significant opportunities for designing high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, the study on fundamental property and device application of 2D VP is seriously hindered by its inherent instability in ambient air. Here, a VP/MoS2 van der Waals heterostructure is constructed by vertically staking few-layer VP and MoS2 , aiming to utilize the synergistic effect of the two materials to achieve a high-performance 2D photodetector. The strong optical absorption of VP combining with the type-II band alignment of VP/MoS2 heterostructure make VP play a prominent photogating effect. As a result, the VP/MoS2 heterostructure photodetector achieves an excellent photoresponse performances with ultrahigh responsivity of 3.82 × 105 A W-1 , high specific detectivity of 9.17 × 1013 Jones, large external quantum efficiency of 8.91 × 107 %, and gate tunability, which are much superior to that of individual MoS2 device or VP device. Moreover, the VP/MoS2 heterostructure photodetector indicates superior air stability due to the effective protection of VP by MoS2 encapsulation. This work sheds light on the future study of the fundamental property and optoelectronic device application of VP.

Abstract
The state of polarization is essential for a full description of ultrashort pulses. We experimentally observe the transient vector dynamics of pulsating vector solitons with rotating polarizations in a single-wall carbon nanotube mode-locked fiber laser. We acquire the single-shot polarization evolution of two different dual soliton pulsations using a homemade real-time wavelength-resolved state of polarization measurement system. We identify experimentally two different types of dual-soliton pulsations with longer and shorter pulsating periods respectively, and we find that dispersive-caused wave-caused energy exchange may be the reason for the distinct single soliton polarization evolution in multi-soliton cases. Our results are crucial for understanding the essence of soliton behaviour and developing novel potential applications of ultrafast fiber lasers.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder, which can lead to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis and other diseases. Studies have shown that polysaccharides absorbed by the intestinal tract can regulate blood lipids and facilitate the growth of intestinal flora. This article aims to investigate whether Tibetan turnip polysaccharide (TTP) plays a protective role in blood lipid and intestinal health via hepatic and intestinal axes. Here we show that TTP helps to reduce the size of adipocytes and the accumulation of liver fat, playing a dose-dependent effect on ADPN levels, suggesting an effect on lipid metabolism regulation. Meantime, TTP intervention results in the downregulation of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and serum inflammatory factors (interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)), implying that TTP suppresses the progression of inflammation in the body. The expression of key enzymes associated with cholesterol and triglyceride synthesis, such as 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ (PPARγ), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthetase (FAS) and sterol-regulatory element binding proteins-1c (SREBP-1c), can be modulated by TTP. Furthermore, TTP also alleviates the damage to intestinal tissues caused by high-fat diet, restores the integrity of the intestinal barrier, improves the composition and abundance of the intestinal flora and increases the levels of SCFAs. This study provides a theoretical basis for the regulation of body rhythm by functional foods and potential intervention in patients with hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common neurological complication following anesthesia and surgery. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that neuroinflammation caused by systemic inflammatory responses during the perioperative period is a key factor in the occurrence of POCD. In addition, SMAD family member 7 (Smad7) has been confirmed to play vital roles in the pathogenesis and treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease. However, whether Smad7 participates in the regulatory process of neuroinflammation and apoptosis in the development of POCD is still unknown. METHODS In this study, a POCD mouse model was constructed by unilateral nephrectomy under anesthesia, and cognitive function was assessed using the fear conditioning test and open field test. The expression of Smad7 at the mRNA and protein levels in the hippocampus 3 days after surgery was examined by qRT-PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence assays. Furthermore, to identify whether the elevation of Smad7 in the hippocampus after unilateral nephrectomy contributes to cognitive impairment, the expression of Smad7 in the hippocampal CA1 region was downregulated by crossing Smad7fl/fl conditional mutant mice and CaMKIIα-Cre line T29-1 transgenic mice or stereotaxic injection of shRNA-Smad7. Inflammation and apoptosis in the hippocampus were assessed by measuring the mRNA levels of typical inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, CCL2, CXCL1, and CXCL2, and the protein levels of apoptotic proteins, including Bax and Bcl2. In addition, apoptosis in the hippocampus postoperation was investigated by a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining assay. Finally, western blotting was used to explore how Smad7 mediates inflammation and apoptosis postoperation. RESULTS The results unequivocally revealed that elevated Smad7 in the hippocampal CA1 region significantly inhibited TGF-β signal transduction by blocking Smad2/3 phosphorylation, which enhanced neuroinflammation and apoptosis in the hippocampus and further led to learning and memory impairment after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that Smad7 contributes to cognitive impairment after surgery by enhancing neuroinflammation and apoptosis in the hippocampus and might serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of memory impairment after anesthesia surgery.

Abstract
We report on the first search for nuclear recoils from dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with the XENONnT experiment, which is based on a two-phase time projection chamber with a sensitive liquid xenon mass of 5.9 ton. During the (1.09±0.03) ton yr exposure used for this search, the intrinsic ^{85}Kr and ^{222}Rn concentrations in the liquid target are reduced to unprecedentedly low levels, giving an electronic recoil background rate of (15.8±1.3) events/ton yr keV in the region of interest. A blind analysis of nuclear recoil events with energies between 3.3 and 60.5 keV finds no significant excess. This leads to a minimum upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section of 2.58×10^{-47} cm^{2} for a WIMP mass of 28 GeV/c^{2} at 90% confidence level. Limits for spin-dependent interactions are also provided. Both the limit and the sensitivity for the full range of WIMP masses analyzed here improve on previous results obtained with the XENON1T experiment for the same exposure.
