Abstract
Background Spinal motoneurons may become hyperexcitable after a stroke. Knowledge about motoneuron hyperexcitability remains clinically important as it may contribute to a number of phenomena including spasticity, flexion synergies, and abnormal limb postures. Hyperexcitability seems to occur more often in muscles that flex the wrist and fingers (forearm flexors) compared to other upper limb muscles. The cause of hyperexcitability remains uncertain but may involve plastic changes in motoneurons and their axons. Aim To characterize intrinsic membrane properties of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) motor axons after stroke using nerve excitability testing. Methods Nerve excitability testing using threshold tracking techniques was applied to characterize FCR motor axon properties in persons who suffered a first-time unilateral cortical/subcortical stroke 23 to 308 days earlier. The median nerve was stimulated at the elbow bilaterally in 16 male stroke subjects (51.4 ± 2.9 y) with compound muscle action potentials recorded from the FCR. Nineteen age-matched males (52.7 ± 2.4 y) were also tested to serve as controls. Results Axon parameters after stroke were consistent with bilateral hyperpolarization of the resting potential. Nonparetic and paretic side axons were modeled by a 2.6-fold increase in pump currents (IPumpNI) together with an increase (38%-33%) in internodal leak conductance (GLkI) and a decrease (23%-29%) in internodal H conductance (Ih) relative to control axons. A decrease (14%) in Na+ channel inactivation rate (Aah) was also needed to fit the paretic axon recovery cycle. "Fanning out" of threshold electrotonus and the resting I/V slope (stroke limbs combined) correlated with blood potassium [K+] (R = -0.61 to 0.62, p< 0.01) and disability (R = -0.58 to 0.55, p < 0.05), but not with spasticity, grip strength, or maximal FCR activity. Conclusion In contrast to our expectations, FCR axons were not hyperexcitable after stroke. Rather, FCR axons were found to be hyperpolarized bilaterally post stroke, and this was associated with disability and [K+]. Reduced FCR axon excitability may represent a kind of bilateral trans-synaptic homeostatic mechanism that acts to minimize motoneuron hyperexcitability.

Abstract
Relevant research in recent years has demonstrated that the atrial fibrillation occurrence rate is significantly higher in patients with cirrhosis. The most common indication for long-term anticoagulant therapy is chronic atrial fibrillation. The use of anticoagulant therapy greatly reduces the incidence rate of ischemic stroke. Patients with cirrhosis combined with atrial fibrillation have an elevated risk of bleeding and embolism during anticoagulant therapy due to cirrhotic coagulopathy. At the same time, the liver of such patients will go through varying levels of metabolism and elimination while consuming currently approved anticoagulant drugs, thereby increasing the complexity of anticoagulant therapy. This article summarizes the clinical studies on the risks and benefits of anticoagulant therapy in order to provide a reference for patients with cirrhosis combined with atrial fibrillation.

Beam Energy Dependence of Triton Production and Yield Ratio (N_{t}×N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}) in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 130:202301.

Abstract
We report the triton (t) production in midrapidity (|y|<0.5) Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7-200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The nuclear compound yield ratio (N_{t}×N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}), which is predicted to be sensitive to the fluctuation of local neutron density, is observed to decrease monotonically with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dN_{ch}/dη) and follows a scaling behavior. The dN_{ch}/dη dependence of the yield ratio is compared to calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Enhancements in the yield ratios relative to the coalescence baseline are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV, with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, giving a combined significance of 4.1σ. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions or model calculations without critical fluctuation, and decreases with a smaller p_{T} acceptance. The physics implications of these results on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to explore the real-time navigation with guide template using an augmented reality head-mounted device (ARHMD) for pedicle screw placement. Methods The spatial coordinate relationships between augmented reality images and real objects were established through the custom-made guide template, and the registration and tracking were completed using an ARHMD. The feasibility and accuracy of this method were verified by pedicle screw placement in 2 lumbar models. According to the Gertzbein-Robbins grading scale, the accuracy of pedicle screw placement was assessed. The navigation errors were estimated by measuring the deviation values of entry point and trajectory angle. Results A total of 20 pedicle K-wires were placed into L1-L5 in 2 lumbar models, which were successfully completed, with an average time of 11.5 min per model and 69 s per screw. The overall K-wires placement accuracy was 100% (20 screws). The navigation error was 2.77 ± 0.82 mm for the deviation value of entry point, and 3.03° ± 0.94° for the deviation value of trajectory angle. Conclusions The application of an ARHMD combined with guide template for pedicle screw placement is a promising navigation approach.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of lung metastasis in patients with cervical cancer after treatment. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 191 patients with lung metastasis of stage Ⅰa-Ⅲb cervical cancer (FIGO 2009 stage) treated in Sichuan Cancer Hospital from January 2007 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Kaplan Meier method and Log rank test were used for survival analysis, and Cox regression model was used for prognostic factors analysis. Results: Among 191 patients with lung metastasis of cervical cancer, pulmonary metastasis was found in 134 patients (70.2%) during follow-up examination, and 57 patients (29.8%) had clinical symptoms (cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, and fever). The time from the initial treatment of cervical cancer to the discovery of lung metastasis was 1-144 months in the whole group, with a median time of 19 months. Univariate analysis of the prognosis of lung metastasis after treatment of cervical cancer showed that the diameter of cervical tumor, lymph node metastasis, positive surgical margin, disease-free interval after treatment of cervical cancer, whether it is accompanied by other metastasis, the number, location and maximum diameter of lung metastasis, and the treatment method after lung metastasis are related to the prognosis of patients with lung metastasis of cervical cancer. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of lung metastases and other site metastases in addition to lung metastases were independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with lung metastases of cervical cancer (P<0.05). Conclusions: For patients with cervical cancer, attention should be paid to chest CT examination during follow-up to guard against the possibility of lung metastasis after treatment. Besides lung metastasis, other site metastasis and the number of lung metastasis are independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with lung metastasis of cervical cancer. For patients with lung metastasis after treatment of cervical cancer, surgical treatment is an effective treatment. It is necessary to strictly grasp the surgical indications, and some patients can achieve long-term survival. For patients with lung metastasis of cervical cancer who are not suitable for resection of lung metastasis, the remedial treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy is still a recommended choice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the regulatory mechanism of human hepatocyte apoptosis induced by lysosomal membrane protein Sidt2 knockout. METHODS The Sidt2 knockout (Sidt2-/-) cell model was constructed in human hepatocyte HL7702 cells using Crispr-Cas9 technology.The protein levels of Sidt2 and key autophagy proteins LC3-II/I and P62 in the cell model were detected using Western blotting, and the formation of autophagosomes was observed with MDC staining.EdU incorporation assay and flow cytometry were performed to observe the effect of Sidt2 knockout on cell proliferation and apoptosis.The effect of chloroquine at the saturating concentration on autophagic flux, proliferation and apoptosis of Sidt2 knockout cells were observed. RESULTS Sidt2-/- HL7702 cells were successfully constructed.Sidt2 knockout significantly inhibited the proliferation and increased apoptosis of the cells, causing also increased protein expressions of LC3-II/I and P62(P < 0.05) and increased number of autophagosomes.Autophagy of the cells reached a saturated state following treatment with 50 μmol/L chloroquine, and at this concentration, chloroquine significantly increased the expressions of LC3B and P62 in Sidt2-/- HL7702 cells. CONCLUSION Sidt2 gene knockout causes dysregulation of the autophagy pathway and induces apoptosis of HL7702 cells, and the latter effect is not mediated by inhibiting the autophagy-lysosomal pathway.

Abstract
Periprosthetic gout flare is a rare arthritic condition after total knee arthroplasty, but the symptoms of gout may have often been mistaken as acute periprosthetic infection given their similarity. Misdiagnosis as periprosthetic infection can lead to unnecessary surgery, long-term dependence on anti-biotics, and even malfunction of the involved knee joint. Here, we report a case study of a patient with immunodeficiency condition of long-term oral glucocorticoid and diabetes mellitus, who had undergone a knee replacement 8 weeks before. The initial symptoms of fever and joint pain together with the dysfunction of her right knee with elevated inflammatory markers, such as increased serum leukocytes, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and synovial cell counts led to a diagnosis of acute periprosthetic infection. Arthrocentesis and bacterial culture were performed preoperatively. According to the current Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria for diagnosis of periprosthetic infection, the case was classified as periprosthetic infection and a prosthesis retained debridement surgery was performed. However we got negative culture results in all the pre-operative and intro-operative samples. The symptoms as well as the laboratory inflammatory markers improved shortly after the debridement surgery until the 11th day when all the similar systemic and local symptoms recurred. With a remedial crystal analysis of synovial fluid from the patient, gouty flare was found to be the cause of acute arthritis finally. Accor-dingly, after anti-gout medications were administrated, the symptoms associated with acute arthritis gra- dually subsided, and there was no recurrence during a 24-month follow-up. This article described the cli-nical manifestation, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment of a case of periprosthetic gout. Although relatively rare, gout should be considered as a differential diagnosis in suspected periprosthetic infection. Current criteria for periprosthetic infection can not exclude the diagnosis of periprosthetic gout flare, it is therefore imperative that the analysis of joint aspirate for crystals be conducted to determine the correct course of treatment, or unnecessary surgical procedure may be performed in periprosthetic gout case.

[PMID: 37115883 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.130.151905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
We present the first measurements of the electric and magnetic form factors of the neutron in the timelike (positive q^{2}) region as function of four-momentum transfer. We explored the differential cross sections of the reaction e^{+}e^{-}→n[over ¯]n with data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII accelerator, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 354.6 pb^{-1} in total at twelve center-of-mass energies between sqrt[s]=2.0-2.95 GeV. A relative uncertainty of 18% and 12% for the electric and magnetic form factors, respectively, is achieved at sqrt[s]=2.3935 GeV. Our results are comparable in accuracy to those from electron scattering in the comparable spacelike region of four-momentum transfer. The electromagnetic form factor ratio R_{em}≡|G_{E}|/|G_{M}| is within the uncertainties close to unity. We compare our result on |G_{E}| and |G_{M}| to recent model predictions, and the measurements in the spacelike region to test the analyticity of electromagnetic form factors.

J Dermatol Sci 2023:S0923-1811(23)00111-1. [PMID: 37100691 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdermsci.2023.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA) is a chronic skin disease characterized by aberrant keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal hyperproliferation, and amyloid deposits. Previously, we demonstrated OSMR loss-function mutants enhanced basal keratinocyte differentiation through the OSMR/STAT5/KLF7 signaling in PLCA patients. OBJECTIVE To investigate the underlying mechanisms involved in basal keratinocyte proliferation in PLCA patients that remain unclear. METHODS Patients with pathologically confirmed PLCA visiting the dermatologic outpatient clinic were involved in the study. Laser capture microdissection and mass spectrometry analysis, gene-edited mice, 3D human epidermis culture, flow cytometry, western blot, qRT-PCR and RNA sequencing were used to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. RESULTS In this study, we found that AHNAK peptide fragments were enriched in the lesions of PLCA patients, as detected by laser capture microdissection and mass spectrometry analysis. The upregulated expression of AHNAK was further confirmed using immunohistochemical staining. qRT-PCR and flow cytometry revealed that pre-treatment with OSM can inhibit AHNAK expression in HaCaT cells, NHEKs, and 3D human skin models, but OSMR knockout or OSMR mutations abolished this down-regulation trend. Similar results were obtained in wild-type and OSMR knockout mice. More importantly, EdU incorporation and FACS assays demonstrated the knockdown of AHNAK could induce G1 phase cell cycle arrest and inhibit keratinocyte proliferation. Furthermore, RNA sequencing revealed that AHNAK knockdown regulated keratinocyte differentiation. CONCLUSION Taken together, these data indicated that the elevated expression of AHNAK by OSMR mutations led to hyperproliferation and overdifferentiation of keratinocytes, and the discovered mechanism might provide insights into potential therapeutic targets for PLCA.

Abstract
Using 4.7 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data at center-of-mass energies from 4.661 to 4.951 GeV collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we observe the X(3872) production process e^{+}e^{-}→ωX(3872) for the first time. The significance is 7.8σ, including both the statistical and systematic uncertainties. The e^{+}e^{-}→ωX(3872) Born cross section and the corresponding upper limit at 90% confidence level at each energy point are reported. The line shape of the cross section indicates that the ωX(3872) signals may be from the decays of some nontrivial structures.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predictive factors for bronchitis obliterans in refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP). Methods: A restrospective case summary was conducted 230 patients with RMPP admitted to the Department of No.2 Respiratory Medicine of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2013 to June 2017 were recruited. Clinical data, laboratory results, imaging results and follow-up data were collected. Based on bronchoscopy and imaging findings 1 year after discharge, all patients were divided into two groups: one group had sequelae of bronchitis obliterans (sequelae group) and the other group had not bronchitis obliterans (control group), independent sample t-test and nonparametric test were used to compare the differences in clinical features between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to explore the predictive value of Bronchitis Obliterans in RMPP. Results: Among 230 RMPP children, there were 115 males and 115 females, 95 cases had sequelae group, the age of disease onset was (7.1±2.8) years;135 cases had control group, the age of disease onset was (6.8±2.7) years. The duration of fever, C-reative protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, the proportion of ≥2/3 lobe consolidation, pleural effusion and the proportion of airway mucus plug and mucosal necrosis were longer or higher in the sequelae group than those in the control group ((17±9) vs. (12±3) d, (193±59) vs. (98±42) mg/L,730 (660, 814) vs. 486 (452, 522) U/L, 89 cases (93.7%) vs. 73 cases (54.1%), 73 cases (76.8%) vs.59 cases (43.7%), 81 cases (85.3%) vs. 20 cases (14.8%), 67 cases (70.5%) vs. 9 cases (6.7%), t=5.76, 13.35, Z=-6.41, χ2=14.64, 25.04, 22.85, 102.78, all P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of fever ≥10 days (OR=1.200, 95%CI 1.014-1.419), CRP levels increased (OR=1.033, 95%CI 1.022-1.044) and LDH levels increased (OR=1.001, 95%CI 1.000-1.003) were the risk factors for sequelae of bronchitis obliterans in RMPP. ROC curve analysis showed that CRP 137 mg/L had a sensitivity of 82.1% and a specificity of 80.1%; LDH 471 U/L had a sensitivity of 62.7% and a specificity of 60.3% for predicting the development of bronchitis obliterans. Conclusions: The long duration of fever (≥10 d), CRP increase (≥137 mg/L) may be used to predict the occurrence of sequelae of bronchitis obliterans in RMPP. It is helpful for early recognition of risk children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The treatment of targeted therapy-induced diarrhea, a common adverse reaction of targeted therapy, with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages; however, a unified TCM prescription is currently missing in clinical practice, and objective outcome indicators are lacking. Here, we aimed to provide medical evidence for the use of oral TCM in the treatment of targeted therapy-induced diarrhea. To this end, we systematically reviewed the literature evaluating the clinical efficacy of oral TCM for the treatment of targeted therapy-induced diarrhea. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine disc, Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Medical Network, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and OVID databases were used for a literature search of clinical randomized controlled trials examining the use of oral TCM in the treatment of targeted therapy-induced diarrhea until February 2022. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS In total, 490 relevant studies were screened, 480 were excluded based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 10 clinical studies were finally included. The 10 studies included a total of 555 patients: 279 in the treatment group and 276 in the control group. The improvements in total clinical efficiency, TCM syndrome score, and graded efficacy of diarrhea in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (p<0.01); however, there was no difference in the Karnofsky Performance Scale score between the groups. The funnel plot for total clinical efficiency was symmetrical, and the publication bias was found to be low. CONCLUSIONS Oral TCM is an effective treatment for targeted therapy-induced diarrhea and can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients.

Abstract
In fine-grained image classification, there are only very subtle differences between classes. It is challenging to learn local discriminative features and remove distractive features in fine-grained image classification. Existing fine-grained image classification methods learn discriminative feature mainly via manual part annotation or attention mechanisms. However, due to the large intraclass variance and interclass similarity, the discriminative information and distractive information still are not distinguished effectively. To address this problem, we propose a feature relocation network (FRe-Net) which takes advantage of the different natures of features learned from different stages of the network. Our network consists of a distractive feature learning module and a relocated high-level feature learning module. In the distractive feature learning module, we propose to exploit the difference between low-level features and high-level features to design a distractive loss Ldistractive, which guides the attention to locate distractive regions more accurately. In the relocated high-level feature learning module, we enhance the representing capacity of the middle-level feature via the attention module and subtract the distractive feature learned from the distractive feature learning module in order to learn more local discriminative features. In end-to-end model training, the distractive feature learning module and the relocated high-level feature learning module are beneficial to each other via joint optimization. We conducted comprehensive experiments on three benchmark datasets widely used in fine-grained image classification. The experimental results show that FRe-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance, which validates the effectiveness of FRe-Net.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Robotic abdominal wall reconstruction (RAWR) is one of the most significant advances in the management of complex abdominal wall hernias. The objective of this study was to evaluate long term outcomes in a cohort of patients that underwent complex RAWR in a single center. METHODS This was a longitudinal retrospective review of a cohort of 56 patients who underwent complex RAWR at least 24 months prior by a single surgeon at a tertiary care institution. All patients underwent bilateral retro-rectus release (rRRR) with or without robotic transversus abdominis release (rTAR). Data collected include demographics, hernia details, operative and technical details. The prospective analysis included a post-procedure visit of at least 24 months from the index procedure with a physical examination and quality of life survey using the Carolinas Comfort Scale (CCS). Patients with reported symptoms concerning for hernia recurrence underwent radiographic imaging. Descriptive statistics (mean ± standard deviation or median) were calculated for continuous variables. Chi-square or Fisher's exact test as deemed appropriate for categorical variables, and analysis of variance or the Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous data, were performed among the separate operative groups. A total score for the CCS was calculated and analyzed in accordance with the user guidelines. RESULTS One-hundred and-forty patients met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-six patients consented to participate in the study. Mean age was 60.2 years. Mean BMI was 34.0. Ninety percent of patients had at least one comorbidity and 52% of patients were scored ASA 3 or higher. Fifty-nine percent were initial incisional hernias, 19.6% were recurrent incisional hernias and 8.9% were recurrent ventral hernias. The mean defect width was 9 cm for rTAR and 5 cm for rRRR. The mean implanted mesh size was 945.0 cm2 for rTAR and 362.5 cm2 for rRRR. The mean length of follow-up was 28.1 months. Fifty-seven percent of patients underwent post-op imaging at an average follow-up of 23.5 months. Recurrence rate was 3.6% for all groups. There were no recurrences in patients that underwent solely bilateral rRRR. Two patients (7.7%) that underwent rTAR procedures were found with recurrence. Average time to recurrence was 23 months. Quality of life survey demonstrated an overall CCS score of 6.63 ± 13.95 at 24 months with 12 (21.4%) patients reporting mesh sensation, 20 (35.7%) reporting pain, and 13 (23.2%) reporting movement limitation. CONCLUSION Our study contributes to the paucity of literature describing long term outcomes of RAWR. Robotic techniques offer durable repairs with acceptable quality of life metrics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of infections among cancer patients is as high as 23.2-33.2% in China. However, the lack of information and data on the number of antibiotics used by cancer patients is an obstacle to implementing antibiotic management plans. AIM This study aimed to investigate bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance in Chinese cancer patients to provide a reference for the rational use of antibiotics. DESIGN This was a 5-year retrospective study on the antibiotic resistance of cancer patients. METHODS In this 5-year surveillance study, we collected bacterial and antibiotic resistance data from 20 provincial cancer diagnosis and treatment centers and three specialized cancer hospitals in China. We analyzed the resistance of common bacteria to antibiotics, compared to common clinical drug-resistant bacteria, evaluated the evolution of critical drug-resistant bacteria and conducted data analysis. FINDINGS Between 2016 and 2020, 216 219 bacterial strains were clinically isolated. The resistance trend of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, piperacillin/tazobactam and imipenem was relatively stable and did not significantly increase over time. The resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to all antibiotics tested, including imipenem and meropenem, decreased over time. In contrast, the resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii strains to carbapenems increased from 4.7% to 14.7%. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) significantly decreased from 65.2% in 2016 to 48.9% in 2020. CONCLUSIONS The bacterial prevalence and antibiotic resistance rates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, S. aureus and MRSA were significantly lower than the national average.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of pregnancy with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods: The clinicopathological data of 7 patients of pregnancy with NHL admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2010 to May 2022 were reviewed. General information, diagnosis, treatment and maternal and child outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results: (1) The median age of the 7 patients was 28 years old (range: 26-33 years); 3 cases complained of abdominal pain (2 cases of huge pelvic or abdominal mass with multiple metastases), 2 cases of cough (1 case with superior vena cava syndrome), 1 case of facial swelling and pain, and 1 case of poor appetite. The median time from the onset of symptoms to initial visit was 30 days (range: 15-188 days). (2) Only 3 cases were diagnosed during pregnancy through biopsy, and the biopsy sites including right nasal vestibular mass, left supraclavicular lymph node and lung respectively. One case was suspected to be splenic marginal zone lymphoma through bone marrow puncture during pregnancy, and confirmed by pathological results observed in splenectomy specimens after termination of pregnancy. Three cases were diagnosed as NHL by pathological results of focus biopsy or partial tumor resection during cesarean section. Pathological types: 5 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, one splenic marginal zone lymphoma and one nasal cavity natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma. Stages: 1 case of stage Ⅱ, 6 cases of stage Ⅳ. Pathological examination of placentas was performed for 4 patients after delivery, included one case with tumor metastasis to the placenta. (3) Among the 7 patients, 1 case was induced in the second trimester; 5 cases were terminated by cesarean section in the third trimester, all of which were premature; one case of full-term was delivered with forceps. All 6 neonates survived healthy. Treatments: 5 cases received chemotherapy after termination of pregnancy (included 1 case received autologous hematopoietic stem cell retransfusion therapy after chemotherapy), and 1 case received chemotherapy combined nasopharyngeal radiotherapy, and six cases survived without recurrence (follow-up until October 2022). The other case was a patient with hepatitis B virus infection and congenital heart disease who died of multiple organ failure 18 days after cesarean section. Conclusions: It is difficult to diagnose, necessary to pay attention to the complaints of pregnant women, and to actively carry out related examinations during pregnancy. When the lesion involves multiple organs, the possibility of lymphoma should be considered. Pregnancy with NHL is sensitive to chemotherapy. Even for advanced patients, good outcome could still be obtained after standardized treatment.

Observation of Three Charmoniumlike States with J^{PC}=1^{--} in e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+}. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 130:121901. [PMID: 37027853 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.130.121901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The Born cross sections of the process e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} at center-of-mass energies from 4.189 to 4.951 GeV are measured for the first time. The data samples used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 17.9 fb^{-1} and were collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Three enhancements around 4.20, 4.47, and 4.67 GeV are visible. The resonances have masses of 4209.6±4.7±5.9 MeV/c^{2}, 4469.1±26.2±3.6 MeV/c^{2}, and 4675.3±29.5±3.5 MeV/c^{2} and widths of 81.6±17.8±9.0 MeV, 246.3±36.7±9.4 MeV, and 218.3±72.9±9.3 MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The first and third resonances are consistent with the ψ(4230) and ψ(4660) states, respectively, while the second one is compatible with the ψ(4500) observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}K^{-}J/ψ process. These three charmoniumlike ψ states are observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} process for the first time.

Abstract
We report on measurements of sequential ϒ suppression in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) through both the dielectron and dimuon decay channels. In the 0%-60% centrality class, the nuclear modification factors (R_{AA}), which quantify the level of yield suppression in heavy-ion collisions compared to p+p collisions, for ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) are 0.40±0.03(stat)±0.03(sys)±0.09(norm) and 0.26±0.08(stat)±0.02(sys)±0.06(norm), respectively, while the upper limit of the ϒ(3S) R_{AA} is 0.17 at a 95% confidence level. This provides experimental evidence that the ϒ(3S) is significantly more suppressed than the ϒ(1S) at RHIC. The level of suppression for ϒ(1S) is comparable to that observed at the much higher collision energy at the Large Hadron Collider. These results point to the creation of a medium at RHIC whose temperature is sufficiently high to strongly suppress excited ϒ states.

Abstract
1. Testosterone has an anabolic effect on skeletal muscle. The testes produce most of the testosterone in vivo, while the adrenal glands contribute smaller amounts. When testis testosterone is deficient the adrenal gland increases steroid hormone synthesis, which is referred to as compensatory testicular adaptation (CTA).2. To reveal the effects of testis testosterone deficiency on adrenal steroid hormones synthesis and skeletal muscle development, gene expression related to adrenal steroid hormones synthesis and skeletal muscle development were determined by RNA-seq.3. The results showed that castrating male ducks had significant effects on their body weight but no significant impact on cross-sectional area (CSA) or density of pectoral muscle fibres. In skeletal muscle protein metabolism, expression levels of the catabolic gene atrogin1/MAFbx and the anabolic gene eEF2 were significantly higher, with concomitant increases after castration. The adrenal glands' alteration of the steroid hormone 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) was significantly lower following castration.4. Expression pattern analysis showed that the adrenal glands' glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1/GR) had a potential regulatory relationship with the skeletal muscle-related genes (Pax7, mTOR, FBXO32, FOXO3, and FOXO4).5. The data showed that castration affected muscle protein metabolism, adrenal steroid and testosterone synthesis. In addition, it was speculated that, after castration, steroid hormones produced by the adrenal gland could have a compensatory effect, which might mediate the changes in skeletal muscle protein metabolism and development.

Abstract
The cytokinin two-component signal transduction system (TCS) is involved in many biological processes, including hormone signal transduction and plant growth regulation. Although cytokinin TCS has been well characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana, its role in tomato remains elusive. In this study, we characterized the diversity and function of response regulator (RR) genes, a critical component of TCS, in tomato. In total, we identified 31 RR genes in the tomato genome. These SlRR genes were classified into three subgroups (type-A, type-B and type-C). Various stress-responsive cis-elements were present in the tomato RR gene promoters. Their expression responses under pesticide treatment were evaluated by transcriptome analysis. Their expression under heat, cold, ABA, salinity and NaHCO3 treatments was further investigated by qRT-PCR and complemented with the available transcription data under these treatments. Specifically, SlRR13 expression was significantly upregulated under salinity, drought, cold and pesticide stress and was downregulated under ABA treatment. SlRR23 expression was induced under salt treatment, while the transcription level of SlRR1 was increased under cold and decreased under salt stress. We also found that GATA transcription factors played a significant role in the regulation of SlRR genes. Based on our results, tomato SlRR genes are involved in responses to abiotic stress in tomato and could be implemented in molecular breeding approaches to increase resistance of tomato to environmental stresses.

Abstract
Cardiovascular and microvascular disorders are serious complications of diabetes. Intensive glucose control is believed to hinder the pathological progression of these complications. In this review, we focus on the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) under intensive treatment with recently introduced glucose-lowering drugs, including glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. GLP-1RAs are more suitable for patients with diabetes at risk for, or established, cardiovascular complications, while SGLT2 inhibitors are more appropriate for complications of heart failure and chronic renal diseases. Accumulating evidence indicates that GLP-1RAs may provide a greater reduction in the risk of DR in patients with diabetes compared to DPP-4 inhibitors, sulfonylureas, or insulin. GLP-1RAs may be ideal antihyperglycemic drugs with direct benefits for the retina, since GLP-1R can be expressed in photoreceptors. Topical administration of GLP-1RAs induces direct retinal neuroprotection against DR by multiple mechanisms, such as preventing both neurodysfunction and retinal neurodegeneration; relieving the disruption of the blood-retinal barrier and associated vascular leakage, and inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammatory action, and neuronal apoptosis. Hence, it seems reasonable to utilize this strategy to treat patients with diabetes and early-stage DR, rather than exclusively using neuroprotective agents.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone mineral density (BMD) is an independent risk factor of osteoporosis-related fractures. We performed gene-based burden tests to assess the association between rare variants and BMD, and identified several BMD candidate genes. PURPOSE BMD is highly heritable and a major predictor of osteoporotic fractures, but its genetic basis remains unclear. We aimed to identify rare risk variants contributing to BMD. METHODS Utilizing the newly released UK Biobank 200,643 exome dataset, we conducted a gene-based exome-wide association study in males and females, respectively. First, 100,639 males and 117,338 females with BMD values were included in the polygenic risk scores (PRS) analysis. Among individuals with lower 30% PRS, cases were individuals with top 10% BMD, and individuals with bottom 10% BMD were the controls. Considering the effects of vitamin D (VD), individuals with the highest 30% VD concentration were selected for VD-BMD analysis. After quality control, 741 males and 697 females were included in the BMD analysis, and 717 males and 708 females were included in the VD-BMD analysis. The variants were annotated by ANNOVAR software, then BMD and VD-BMD qualified variants were imported into the SKAT R-package to perform gene-based burden tests, respectively. RESULTS The gene-based burden test of the exonic variants identified genome-wide candidate associations in ANKRD18A (P = 1.60 × 10-5, PBonferroni adjust = 2.11 × 10-3), C22orf31 (P = 3.49 × 10-4, PBonferroni adjust = 3.17 × 10-2), and SPATC1L (P = 1.09 × 10-5, PBonferroni adjust = 8.80 × 10-3). For VD-BMD analysis, three genes were associated with BMD, such as NIPAL1 (P = 1.06 × 10-3, PBonferroni adjust = 3.91 × 10-2). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that rare variants contribute to BMD, providing new sights for broadening the genetic structure of BMD.

Evidence for the Cusp Effect in η' Decays into ηπ^{0}π^{0}. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 130:081901. [PMID: 36898113 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.130.081901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Using a sample of 4.3×10^{5} η^{'}→ηπ^{0}π^{0} events selected from the ten billion J/ψ event dataset collected with the BESIII detector, we study the decay η^{'}→ηπ^{0}π^{0} within the framework of nonrelativistic effective field theory. Evidence for a structure at π^{+}π^{-} mass threshold is observed in the invariant mass spectrum of π^{0}π^{0} with a statistical significance of around 3.5σ, which is consistent with the cusp effect as predicted by the nonrelativistic effective field theory. After introducing the amplitude for describing the cusp effect, the ππ scattering length combination a_{0}-a_{2} is determined to be 0.226±0.060_{stat}±0.013_{syst}, which is in good agreement with theoretical calculation of 0.2644±0.0051.

Beam Energy Dependence of Fifth- and Sixth-Order Net-Proton Number Fluctuations in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 130:082301. [PMID: 36898098 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.130.082301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
We report the beam energy and collision centrality dependence of fifth and sixth order cumulants (C_{5}, C_{6}) and factorial cumulants (κ_{5}, κ_{6}) of net-proton and proton number distributions, from center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) 3 GeV to 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Cumulant ratios of net-proton (taken as proxy for net-baryon) distributions generally follow the hierarchy expected from QCD thermodynamics, except for the case of collisions at 3 GeV. The measured values of C_{6}/C_{2} for 0%-40% centrality collisions show progressively negative trend with decreasing energy, while it is positive for the lowest energy studied. These observed negative signs are consistent with QCD calculations (for baryon chemical potential, μ_{B}≤110 MeV) which contains the crossover transition range. In addition, for energies above 7.7 GeV, the measured proton κ_{n}, within uncertainties, does not support the two-component (Poisson+binomial) shape of proton number distributions that would be expected from a first-order phase transition. Taken in combination, the hyperorder proton number fluctuations suggest that the structure of QCD matter at high baryon density, μ_{B}∼750 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV is starkly different from those at vanishing μ_{B}∼24 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and higher collision energies.

Abstract
Cytoskeleton-related proteins are essential for cell shape maintenance and cytoskeleton remodeling. The spermatozoa of Eriocheir sinensis (Chinese mitten crab) have a unique cellular structure, and the mechanism of spermatozoal metamorphosis during the acrosome reaction is not well understood. In this study, the E. sinensis spermatozoa were induced using calcium ionophore A23187 to undergo the acrosome reaction in vitro, and the acrosome-reacting and fresh (non-reacting) spermatozoa were collected separately. The differential expression of cytoskeleton-related protein genes in acrosome-reacting and fresh spermatozoa of E. sinensis was analyzed by whole transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, and PPI network and miRNA-mRNA regulation network were constructed to analyze their possible function and regulation mechanism. The results showed that numerous differentially expressed cytoskeleton-related protein genes, miRNAs and lncRNAs were found in acrosome-reacting and fresh spermatozoa of E. sinensis; 27 cytoskeleton-related protein genes were down regulated and 687 miRNAs were up regulated in acrosome-reacting spermatozoa; 147 miRNAs target these 27 cytoskeleton-related protein genes. In the PPI networks, RAC1, BCAR1, RDX, NCKAP1, EPS8, CDC42BPA, LIMK1, ELMO2, GNAI1 and OCRL were identified as hub proteins. These proteins are mainly involved in the regulation of cytoskeleton organization, actin cytoskeleton organization, microtubule skeleton organization and small GTPase-mediated signal transduction and other biological processes, and play roles in pathways such as actin cytoskeletal regulation and axon guidance. miR-9, miR-31 and two novel miRNAs in the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network are the core miRNAs targeting cytoskeleton-related protein genes. miR-9 targets and regulates OBSCN, CDC42BPA, ELMO2, BCAS3, TPR and OCRL; while miR-31 targets and regulates CDC42BPA and TPR. This study provides a theoretical basis for revealing the mechanism of acrosome reaction under the special spermatozoa morphology of E. sinensis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of methylation of placental glucocorticoid response gene in the association between pregnancy-related anxiety in the third trimester and birth outcomes. Methods: Based on a prospective cohort study, singleton live births and their mothers from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study (MABC) were included as participants in this study. The maternal pregnancy-related anxiety symptoms in the third trimester of pregnancy were evaluated by using the Pregnancy-related Anxiety Questionnaire. The neonatal birth outcomes were collected from medical records. The placental tissues from 300 pregnant women with pregnancy-related anxiety and 300 without pregnancy-related anxiety were collected to detect the methylation of FKBP5, NR3C1 and HSD11B2 genes using the Methyl Target approach. The methylation factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis. Linear regression or logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between pregnancy-related anxiety in the third trimester, methylation factor scores, and birth outcomes. The mediating role of methylation factors in the association between pregnancy-related anxiety in the third trimester and birth outcomes was analyzed by using the Process procedure. Results: The mean age of 2 833 pregnant women was (26.60±3.60) years old. After adjusting for confounding factors, pregnancy-related anxiety in the third trimester increased the risk of small-for-gestational-age (OR=1.32, 95%CI:1.00-1.74). A total of 5 methylation factors were extracted, and the factor 5 was loaded with FKBP5 CpGs 18-21. Pregnancy-related anxiety in the third trimester was negatively correlated with the factor 5 (β=-0.24,95%CI:-0.44--0.05). The factor 5 was positively correlated with the gestational age (β=0.17, 95%CI:0.06-0.27). In addition, the factor 2 (β=0.02,95%CI:0.00-0.04) and factor 3 (β=0.03,95%CI:0.01-0.05) were positively correlated with 5-min Apgar score after delivery. However, this study did not found the mediating role of the scores of the factor characterized by FKBP5 in the relationship between pregnancy-related anxiety and birth outcomes. Conclusion: Pregnancy-related anxiety in the third trimester may reduce the methylation level of FKBP5 CpGs 18-21 in placental tissues and is associated with the risk of small-for-gestational-age.

Abstract
AIM To test the feasibility of ultra-low-dose (ULD) computed tomography (CT) combined with an artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR) algorithm for screening pulmonary nodules using computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A chest phantom with artificial pulmonary nodules was first scanned using the routine protocol and the ULD protocol (3.28 versus 0.18 mSv) to compare the image quality and to test the acceptability of the ULD CT protocol. Next, 147 lung-screening patients were enrolled prospectively, undergoing an additional ULD CT immediately after their routine CT examination for clinical validation. Images were reconstructed with filtered back-projection (FBP), hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), the AIIR, and were imported to the CAD software for preliminary nodule detection. Subjective image quality on the phantom was scored using a five-point scale and compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test. Nodule detection using CAD was evaluated for ULD HIR and AIIR images using the routine dose image as reference. RESULTS Higher image quality was scored for AIIR than for FBP and HIR at ULD (p<0.001). As reported by CAD, 107 patients were presented with more than five nodules on routine dose images and were chosen to represent the challenging cases at an early stage of pulmonary disease. Among such, the performance of nodule detection by CAD on ULD HIR and AIIR images was 75.2% and 92.2% of the routine dose image, respectively. CONCLUSION Combined with AIIR, it was feasible to use an ULD CT protocol with 95% dose reduction for CAD-based screening of pulmonary nodules.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula and evaluate the effect of interventional closure of bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula. Methods: A retrospective case study was conducted. Fifteen children with hemoptysis who were diagnosed with bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula in Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to March 2022 were selected. Their clinical symptoms and chest-enhanced CT findings were recorded. The children who failed to improve after anti-infection and hemostasis treatment were treated with transcatheter embolization through microparticles under digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The efficacy and post-operation recurrence were evaluated. Results: There were 15 children, including 9 males and 6 females, aged 9.8 (3.7, 12.1) years, weighing 35 (16, 55) kg. There was hemoptysis of varying degrees before surgery. Only 2 children had decreased hemoglobin. Chest enhanced CT showed that their bronchial arteries were thickened and tortuous, including 11 cases of single vessel disease and 4 cases of multivessel disease; 11 children had varying degrees of pneumonia and 4 children had atelectasis. Except for one case effectively treated with medical therapy, the remaining 14 cases were all treated with transcatheter interventional closure with embolic microparticles, among whom 12 had their fistula completely blocked with a single operation and the other 2 children underwent multiple operations because of too many fistulas. One child had extensive bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula which failed to be blocked completely even after multiple operations. Among the remaining 13 children, only 2 patients whose fistula was considered to be completely closed had recurrence presenting with hemoptysis at 3 months and 2 years after the operation, and no hemoptysis was found after the second closure. All children were discharged without chest pain, spinal cord paraplegia, or other serious complications. Fourteen children were followed up for 1.4 (0.9,2.9) years, among whom one still has intermittent mild hemoptysis due to incomplete closure and the rest had a satisfactory outcome. Conclusions: Hemoptysis is the first symptom of bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula. For children with failed medical treatment, transcatheter closure with an embolic pellet is effective, safe and feasible, with a low recurrence rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE The PET scanners with long axial field of view (AFOV) having ~ 20 times higher sensitivity than conventional scanners provide new opportunities for enhanced parametric imaging but suffer from the dramatically increased volume and complexity of dynamic data. This study reconstructed a high-quality direct Patlak Ki image from five-frame sinograms without input function by a deep learning framework based on DeepPET to explore the potential of artificial intelligence reducing the acquisition time and the dependence of input function in parametric imaging. METHODS This study was implemented on a large AFOV PET/CT scanner (Biograph Vision Quadra) and twenty patients were recruited with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) dynamic scans. During training and testing of the proposed deep learning framework, the last five-frame (25 min, 40-65 min post-injection) sinograms were set as input and the reconstructed Patlak Ki images by a nested EM algorithm on the vendor were set as ground truth. To evaluate the image quality of predicted Ki images, mean square error (MSE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) were calculated. Meanwhile, a linear regression process was applied between predicted and true Ki means on avid malignant lesions and tumor volume of interests (VOIs). RESULTS In the testing phase, the proposed method achieved excellent MSE of less than 0.03%, high SSIM, and PSNR of ~ 0.98 and ~ 38 dB, respectively. Moreover, there was a high correlation (DeepPET: [Formula: see text]= 0.73, self-attention DeepPET: [Formula: see text]=0.82) between predicted Ki and traditionally reconstructed Patlak Ki means over eleven lesions. CONCLUSIONS The results show that the deep learning-based method produced high-quality parametric images from small frames of projection data without input function. It has much potential to address the dilemma of the long scan time and dependency on input function that still hamper the clinical translation of dynamic PET.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Risk models have been developed for predicting stroke and stroke-associated mortality among patients with T2DM. Here, we evaluated risk factors of stroke for individualized prevention measures in patients with T2DM in northern China. METHODS In the community-based Tianjin Chronic Disease Cohort study, 58,042 patients were enrolled between January 2014 and December 2019. We used multiple imputation (MI) to impute missing variables and univariate and multivariate Cox's proportional hazard regression to screen risk factors of stroke. Furthermore, we established and validated first-ever prediction models for stroke (Model 1 and Model 2) and death from stroke (Model 3) and evaluated their performance. RESULTS In the derivation and validation groups, the area under the curves (AUCs) of Models 1-3 was better at 5 years than at 8 years. The Harrell's C-index for all models was above 0.7. All models had good calibration, discrimination, and clinical net benefit. Sensitivity analysis using the MI dataset indicated that all models had good and stable prediction performance. CONCLUSION In this study, we developed and validated first-ever risk prediction models for stroke and death from stroke in patients with T2DM, with good discrimination and calibration observed in all models. Based on lifestyle, demographic characteristics, and laboratory examination, these models could provide multidimensional management and individualized risk assessment. However, the models developed here may only be applicable to Han Chinese.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the value and challenges of real-world clinical application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in HIV-infected patients with suspected multi-pathogenic pneumonia. Methods Fifty-seven HIV-infected patients with suspected mixed pneumonia who were agreed to undergo the bronchoscopy were recruited and retrospectively reviewed the results of mNGS and conventional microbiological tests (CMTs) of BALF from July 2020 to June 2022. Results 54 patients were diagnosed with pneumonia including 49 patients with definite pathogens and five patients with probable pathogens. mNGS exhibited a higher diagnostic accuracy for fungal detection than CMTs in HIV-infected patients with suspected pulmonary infection. The sensitivity of mNGS in diagnosis of pneumonia in HIV-infected patients was much higher than that of CMTs (79.6% vs 61.1%; P < 0.05). Patients with mixed infection had lower CD4 T-cell count and higher symptom duration before admitting to the hospital than those with single infection. The detection rate of mNGS for mixed infection was significantly higher than that of CMTs and more co-pathogens could be identified by mNGS. The most common pattern of mixed infection observed was fungi-virus (11/29, 37.9%), followed by fungi-virus-bacteria (6/29, 20.7%) coinfection in HIV-infected patients with multi-pathogenic pneumonia. Conclusion mNGS improved the pathogens detection rate and exhibited advantages in identifying multi-pathogenic pneumonia in HIV-infected patients. Early performance of bronchoscopy and mNGS are recommended in HIV-infected patients with low CD4 T cell counts and long duration of symptoms. The most common pattern of mixed infection observed was fungi-virus, followed by fungi-virus-bacteria coinfection in HIV infected patients with multi-pathogenic pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To predict and validate the potential mechanism by which Gynura divaricata (GD) functions in the treatment of diabetic foot (DF). METHODS The main chemical constituents of GD were identified by reviewing the literature, the traditional Chinese medicine database platform (TCMIP) and the BATMAN-TCM platform. DF disease targets were identified with the GeneCards database, and the compound-target network was constructed by using the intersection of drugs and disease. The STRING platform was used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to visualize the results. Moreover, the Metascape database was used for Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Molecular docking of the active ingredients of GD and core protein targets of DF was performed using AutoDock software. Finally, the predicted results were preliminarily verified with experiments. RESULTS A total of 140 potential targets of GD were identified and associated with DF. According to the PPI network analysis, GD accelerated DF wound healing, and the mechanism may be related to proteins such as AKT1, TP53, IL6, CASP3, TNF, and VEGFA. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that GD may play a role in the treatment of diabetic foot by affecting various signaling pathways. Molecular docking results showed that the proteins AKT1, TP53, IL6, CASP3, TNF, and VEGFA were closely associated with the components of GD. The animal experiments showed that GD reduced the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α and increased the mRNA and protein expression of VEGFA in rats with DF. CONCLUSIONS GD regulates multiple targets and multiple pathways to promote wound healing in DF.

Abstract
The composite material based on N-, S-, and Fe-doped TiO2 (NSFe-TiO2) synthesized by wet impregnation was used as a photocatalyst to rapidly degrade sulfadiazine. The photocatalytic degradation behavior and mechanism of sulfadiazine on NSFe-TiO2 were investigated for revealing the role of degradation under ultraviolet light. The results showed that compared with TiO2, NSFe-TiO2 markedly improved the efficiency in photocatalytic degradation of sulfadiazine: more than 90% of sulfadiazine could be removed within 120 min by NSFe-TiO2 dosage of 20 mg L-1. The process conformed to first-order reaction kinetics model. The parameters such as loaded amount of NSFe-TiO2, solution pH value, humic acid concentration and recycle numbers on removal efficiency were also studied. Compared to neutral and alkaline conditions, acidic condition was not conducive to the photocatalysis. HA, Ca2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ in the actual water body had mild inhibition on sulfadiazine degradation in UV/NSFe-TiO2 system. Fragments screened by high-resolution mass spectrometry were conducted to explore the oxidation mechanism and pathways of sulfadiazine degradation. On the whole, UV/NSFe-TiO2 photocatalysis has a good effect on sulfadiazine removal.

Abstract
Polymer-based graphene composite products with high mechanical properties, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity are obtained by different molding technologies. Although these processes conveniently realize the molding of polymer composites, it is often difficult to control the product quality because of the fluctuation of the temperature and pressure threshold. At the same time, a high temperature or external load will carbonize polymer composites or cause excessive porosity to influence the compacted density and electrical conductivity. In this review, additive manufacturing, injection molding, extrusion molding, hot pressing, spark plasma sintering, electromagnetic-assisted molding and other processing methods were introduced. Meanwhile, the powder molding mechanism and material constitutive model were introduced, providing appropriate molding methods and theoretical guidance based on the performance of raw materials and the performance requirements of products.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are postulated as sustainable energy storage devices for light electromobility and stationary applications. The anode of choice in SIBs is hard carbon (HC) due to its electrochemical performance. Among different HC precursors, bio-waste resources have attracted significant attention due to their low-cost, abundance, and sustainability. Many bio-waste materials have been used as HC precursors, but they often require strong acids/bases for pre-/post-treatment for HC development. Here, the morphology, microstructure, and electrochemical performance of HCs synthesized from hazelnut shells subjected to different pre-treatments (i. e., no pre-treatment, acid treatment, and water washing) were compared. The impact on the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion cells and the cost-effectiveness were also investigated. The results revealed that hazelnut shell-derived HCs produced via simple water washing outperformed those obtained via other processing methods in terms of electrochemical performance and cost-ecological effectiveness of a sodium-ion battery pack.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examined the relationship between the consumption of plant-based diet and frailty in older Chinese adults. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Community-based setting in 22 provinces of China. PARTICIPANTS The final sample included data from 3990 older adults from 2011-2014 from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. MEASUREMENTS A plant-based diet index (PDI) was calculated based on a qualitative food frequency questionnaire. Frailty was defined using modified Fried criteria. A Generalized Estimating Equation was used to estimate risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for frailty. We further performed subgroup analyses stratified by sex and lifestyle factors. RESULTS 557 cases of frailty were observed. After adjustment for covariates, the RR for frailty of a high PDI was 0.792 (95% CI: 0.644-0.973), relative to a low PDI. During follow-up, compared with respondents with a continually low PDI, the respondents with a continually high PDI had a significantly reduced risk of frailty (RR = 0.683, 95% CI: 0.514-0.908). In further subgroup analysis, a consistently high PDI over time resulted in a significantly reduced risk of frailty for male (RR = 0.591, 95% CI: 0.391-0.893); for never smokers (RR = 0.670, 95% CI: 0.458-0.979); for people who did never consume alcohol (RR = 0.654, 95% CI: 0.454-0.941); and for people with current or former exercise habits (RR = 0.488, 95% CI: 0.313-0.762). CONCLUSION Plant-based diet was associated with low risk of frailty in men and in older adults with healthy lifestyle. These findings stress that plant-based diet should be recommended as a dietary strategy to prevent and reduce frailty in older adults; in addition, more dietary interventions along with lifestyle modification should be adopted to promote successful ageing, especially for women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 523 poly-T length polymorphism (rs10524523) in TOMM40 has been reported to influence longitudinal cognitive test performance within APOE ε3/3 carriers. The results from prior studies are inconsistent. It is also unclear whether specific APOE and TOMM40 genotypes contribute to heterogeneity in longitudinal cognitive performance during the preclinical stages of AD. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of these genes on longitudinal cognitive change in early preclinical stages of AD, we used the clinical trial data from the recently concluded TOMMORROW study to examine the effects of APOE and TOMM40 genotypes on neuropsychological test performance. DESIGN A phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. SETTING Academic affiliated and private research clinics in Australia, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA. PARTICIPANTS Cognitively normal older adults aged 65 to 83. INTERVENTION Pioglitazone tablet. MEASUREMENTS Participants from the TOMMORROW trial were stratified based on APOE genotype (APOE ε3/3, APOE ε3/4, APOE ε4/4). APOE ε3/3 carriers were further stratified by TOMM40'523 genotype. The final analysis dataset consists of 1,330 APOE ε3/3 carriers and 7,001 visits. Linear mixed models were used to compare the rates of decline in cognition across APOE groups and the APOE ε3/3 carriers with different TOMM40'523 genotypes. RESULTS APOE ε3/4 and APOE ε4/4 genotypes compared with the APOE ε3/3 genotype were associated with worse performance on measures of global cognition, episodic memory, and expressive language. Further, over the four years of observation, the APOE ε3/3 carriers with the TOMM40'523-S/S genotype showed better global cognition and accelerated rates of cognitive decline on tests of global cognition, executive function, and attentional processing compared to APOE ε3/3 carriers with TOMM40'523-S/VL and VL/VL genotypes and compared to the APOE ε3/4 and APOE ε4/4 carriers. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that both APOE and TOMM40 genotypes may independently contribute to cognitive heterogeneity in the pre-MCI stages of AD. Controlling for this genetic variability will be important in clinical trials designed to slow the rate of cognitive decline and/or prevent symptom onset in preclinical AD.

Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to analyze the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of adult celiac disease (CD) to provide a scientific basis for more effective CD diagnosis and treatment. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the clinical and endoscopic data of 96 adult CD patients treated in the Department of Gastroenterology of the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from March 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 96 CD patients were diagnosed, including 33 men and 63 women. The average age was 47±14 years (range, 18-81 years). The disease occurred mainly in the age group of 31-60 years. The median course of the disease was 2.0 (0.2-40.0) years. There were 41 (42.7%) classical and 55 (57.3%) non-classical CD patients. All patients with classical CD showed chronic diarrhea, often accompanied by abdominal pain (46.3%, 19/41), abdominal distension (17.1%, 7/41), anemia (65.9%, 27/41), and chronic fatigue (48.8%, 20/41). The main manifestations of non-classical CD were chronic abdominal pain (58.2%, 32/55), abdominal distension (32.7%, 18/55), anemia (40.0%, 22/55), and osteopenia/osteoporosis (38.2%, 21/55). Compared with non-classical CD, anemia developed more frequently in classical CD, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.012). The incidence of complications in CD patients was 36.5% (35/96), and the main complications were thyroid disease (19.8%, 19/96), connective tissue disease (6.2%, 6/96), and kidney disease (6.2%, 6/96). There was no significant difference between classical and non-classical CD (P>0.05). The frequency of endoscopic manifestations in CD patients was 84.4% (81/96). Duodenal bulb endoscopy showed nodular changes (72.9%, 70/96), grooved changes (10.4%, 10/96), and focal villous atrophy (9.4%, 9/96). The main manifestations of descending endoscopy were the decrease, flattening, or disappearance of duodenal folds (43.8%, 42/96), scallop-like changes (38.5%, 37/96), and nodular changes (34.4%, 33/96). Conclusions: Adult CD patients are mostly female. CD occurred mainly in the age group of 31-60 years. The clinical manifestations were mainly those of non-classical CD. Some patients often had other autoimmune diseases. Patients with characteristic endoscopic manifestations should be warned about the possibility of developing CD. Clinicians should strengthen the understanding of CD and reduce the related rates of missed diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty may increase the risk of adverse outcomes and the presence of comorbidities in hypertension. Understanding the prevalence of frailty in older adults with hypertension is of great importance, whereas estimates of the prevalence of frailty in this population vary greatly. OBJECTIVES A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence of frailty and prefrailty among community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, and to examine the risk factors associated with (pre)frailty in this population. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched from the inception to May 10, 2023. Investigators assessed eligibility, extracted data, and evaluated methodological quality. The pooled prevalence of frailty and prefrailty was calculated using the random-effects model. Meta-regression analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to explore sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis was undertaken by the leave-one-out method and by removing studies with moderate/high risk of bias. The Mantel-Haenszel or inverse variance method was used to estimate risk factors of frailty. RESULTS A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria, involving 185,249 participants. The pooled prevalence in older adults with hypertension was 23% (95% CI 0.09-0.36) for frailty and 46% (95% CI 0.38-0.54) for prefrailty. The pooled prevalence of frailty was greater in studies with a higher proportion of females (24%, 95% CI 0.05-0.50), using multidimensional tools to define frailty (30%, 95% CI 0.10-0.51) and conducted in Western Pacific (27%, 95% CI 0.17-0.39). Age, female sex, depression, and previous hospitalizations were risk factors of frailty among older adults with hypertension. CONCLUSION Frailty and prefrailty are prevalent in community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, and limited risk factors are identified. This implicates the importance of frailty assessment integrated into the routine primary care for older adults with hypertension in community settings as well as the understanding of potential factors.
