Abstract
Wheat seedlings are becoming popular for its high nutritional value. Effects of White (W), White + Red (WR), and White + Blue (WB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) treatments on growth, nutritional characteristics and antioxidant properties of wheat seedlings were studied in a plant factory. The results showed that height, leaf area, shoot fresh, and shoot dry weight per wheat seedling were the highest under WR at 13 and 22 days after planting. Soluble sugar content in leaves and stems were 22.3 and 65% respectively higher under WB than those under W. Soluble protein content in leaves and stems were 36.8 and 15.2% respectively lower under WR than those under W. Contents of total flavonoids, glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid (ASA) in leaves were the highest under WB, whereas malondialdehyde (MDA) content in leaves was the lowest under WB. The activities of antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX)] in leaves and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability were also the highest under WB. In conclusion, WR promoted the growth of wheat seedlings, and WB promoted antioxidant level and nutritional accumulation. This study provides guidance for wheat seedlings to carry out preferential production (biomass or quality).

Short-term effects of exposure to ambient PM 1, PM 2.5, and PM 10 on ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence in Shandong Province, China. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 212:113350. [PMID: 35487259 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and PM10 is associated with increased risk of mortality and hospital admissions for stroke. However, there is less evidence regarding the effect of exposure to PM1 on stroke incidence. We estimated the incidence risk of stroke and the attributable fractions related to short-term exposure to ambient PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 in China. METHODS County-specific incidence of stroke was obtained from health statistics in years 2014-2019. We linked county-level mean daily concentrations of PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 with stroke incidence. We used the time stratified case-crossover design to estimate the associations between stroke incidence and exposure to PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. We also estimated the disease burden fractions attributable to PM1, PM2.5, and PM10. RESULTS The study included a total of 2,193,954 stroke, from which 1,861,331 were ischemic and 332,623 were hemorrhagic stroke. PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 levels were associated with increased risks of total stroke and ischemic stroke at when assessing the associations in exposure at lag0-4 days. The increase of 10 μg/m3 in PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 was associated with total stroke, and the relative risks were 1.012 (95% confidence interval: 1.008, 1.015), 1.006 (1.004, 1.007) and 1.003 (1.002, 1.004), while the associations with ischemic stroke were 1.013 (1.010, 1.017), 1.006 (1.005, 1.008) and 1.003 (1.002, 1.004), respectively. There was no significant association between PM and risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The attributable fractions of total stroke were 6.9% (5.1%, 8.5%), 5.6% (4.2%, 6.8%) and 5.6% (3.9%, 7.1%) for PM1, PM2.5, and PM10, respectively. CONCLUSIONS PM1 showed a stronger association with stroke, with a larger attributable fraction of outcomes, than PM2.5 and PM10. Clean air policies should target the whole scope of PM, including PM1.

Abstract
AIM To improve the accuracy of diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) by summarising the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical manifestations, imaging findings, and pathological characteristics of 14 patients with histopathologically confirmed RDD were analysed retrospectively and a literature review was undertaken. RESULTS Of the 14 patients, nine had multiple lesions and five had single lesions. Eight patients had extranodal lesions, while six had mixed-type lesions. In patients with head and neck lesions, plain CT/MRI revealed irregularly shaped, well-defined, homogeneous, and mainly progressive lesions, with marked homogeneous enhancement on multiphasic contrast-enhanced imaging. One patient had dural lesions, one of which iso-intense to grey matter, with patchy hypo-intensity on T2-weighted imaging, meningeal tail signs, and characteristic crabfoot-like enhancement. Three patients with skeletal system involvement exhibited osteolytic bone destruction without sclerosis at the edges, associated soft-tissue masses, or periosteal reactions. Two patients had well-defined subcutaneous lesions, inhomogeneous density, and progressive parenchymal enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT. One patient had multiple intestinal lesions with inhomogeneous nodular thickening of the blind ascending colon and ileum, with marked and progressive enhancement. CONCLUSION RDD involvement is mainly multifocal, primarily in the head and neck regions. Plain CT/MRI revealed well-defined, irregularly shaped lesions with homogeneous density/signal, with marked and progressive enhancement on multiphasic contrast-enhanced imaging; however, histopathology is still required to confirm the diagnosis of RDD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy with chemotherapy, programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor and anlotinib in the treatment of advanced dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS). Methods: The clinical data of patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma who received chemotherapy combined with PD-1 inhibitor and anlotinib in the Department of Medical Oncology, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 1, 2020 to November 30, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 24 patients were included in this study, including 12 males and 12 females, with a median age of onset of 56 years (range, 31-69 years). Efficacy and safety in those patients were assessed. Results: All patients had unresectable or metastatic dedifferentiated liposarcoma with G2 (moderate differentiation) or G3 (differential differentiation) in a concise three-grade grading scheme of tumor pathology. Twelve patients received the regimen as the first-line treatment, while the other 7 taken the regimen as second-line treatment and 5 as third-line or above. The median follow-up time for overall survival (OS) was 7.7 months. The overall response rate (ORR) was 20.8% (5/24) and disease control rate (DCR) was 83.3% (20/24) with 5 partial response (PR), 15 stable disease (SD) and 4 progressive disease (PD). Overall, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.9 months (95%CI: 3.4-16.2 months). The ORR of anthracycline-based, eribulin-based or gemcitabine-based regimens was 1/12, 2/6 and 2/6, respectively; and the median PFS was 7.7, 7.3 and 4.4 months, respectively. Waterfall plots showed notable tumor shrinkage of any degree in eribulin and gemcitabine-based regimens(3/6 and 2/6, respectively), while there were more patients presented with SD in anthracycline-based group(9/12). Common adverse reactions included myelosuppression, fatigue, anorexia, rash, pruritus, palpitate, hypothyroidism and hypertension. Conclusions: The combination regimen with chemotherapy, PD-1 inhibitor and anlotinib in the treatment of advanced DDLPS is effective and well tolerable. There are more responders in eribulin or gemcitabine-based regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of perioperative stroke following spinal surgery, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, has not been fully investigated in the Chinese population. Whether specific spinal or emergency/elective procedures are associated with perioperative stroke remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of perioperative stroke, health economic burden, clinical outcomes, and associated risk factors. METHOD A retrospective cohort study using an electronic hospital information system database was conducted from Jan 1, 2015, to Jan 1, 2021, in a tertiary hospital in China. Patients aged ≥18 years who had undergone spinal surgery were included in the study. We recorded patient demographics, comorbidities, and health economics data. Clinical outcomes included perioperative stroke during hospitalization and associated risk factors. The patients' operative data, anesthetic data, and clinical manifestations were recorded. RESULT A total of 17,408 patients who had undergone spinal surgery were included in this study. Twelve patients had perioperative stroke, including seven ischemic stroke (58.3%) and five hemorrhagic stroke (41.7%). The incidence of perioperative stroke was 0.07% (12/17,408). In total, 12 stroke patients underwent spinal fusion. Patients with perioperative stroke were associated with longer hospital stay (38.33 days vs. 9.78 days, p < 0.001) and higher hospital expenses (RMB 175,642 vs. RMB 81,114, p < 0.001). On discharge, 50% of perioperative patients had severe outcomes. The average onset time of perioperative stroke was 1.3 days after surgery. Stroke history (OR 146.046, 95% CI: 28.102-759.006, p < 0.001) and hyperlipidemia (OR 4.490, 95% CI: 1.182-17.060, p = 0.027) were associated with perioperative stroke. CONCLUSION The incidence of perioperative stroke of spinal surgery in a tertiary hospital in China was 0.07%, with a high proportion of hemorrhagic stroke. Perioperative stroke patients experienced a heavy financial burden and severe outcomes. A previous stroke history and hyperlipidemia were associated with perioperative stroke.

Abstract
The development of stealth and effective antitumor nanodrugs has been drawing great attention. Herein, generation five poly(amide amine) dendrimer (G5 PAMAM) was modified by zwitterionic material carboxybetaine methacrylamide (CBMAA) on its surface to prepare zwitterionic dendrimer (G5-CBMAAn). The results showed that G5-CBMAA30 had the longest blood circulation time due to its thickest zwitterionic layer, and its residual rate after injection into mice at 2 and 12 h was as high as 47.22 % and 14.37 %, respectively. Nanodrug G5-CBMAA30-ICG was prepared by containing indocyanine green (ICG) in the cavity of G5-CBMAA30. G5-CBMAA30-ICG had better tumor targeting ability and antitumor effect than free ICG in mice after laser irradiation, and the tumor inhibition rate was 96.6 % after 14 days' treatment. The prepared G5-CBMAA30-ICG has great potential applications in the field of antitumor by phototherapy.

Abstract
Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) combined with iodine-125 (125Ⅰ) seed strands implantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma combined with portal vein tumor thrombosis. Methods: 25 cases with diffuse intrahepatic tumor combined with tumor thrombus type Ⅲ/Ⅳ requiring TIPS were simultaneously implanted with 125Ⅰseed strand. Tumor thrombus was controlled with 125I seed implantation brachytherapy to keep the TIPS pathway unobstructed, reduce the portal vein pressure, and observe the changes in the cause of death of the patients. During the same period, 30 cases without TIPS and seed strand implantation were used as controls. Data between groups were compared using t-test, Chi-Squared test or Fisher's exact test. Results: TIPS combined with 125Ⅰ seed strand implantation was safe in patients with diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma combined with type III/IV portal vein tumor thrombus, and 92.0% (23/25) of the patients maintained unobstructed TIPS pathway. Compared with the control group, patients in the treatment group died of fewer lead-related complications, and most died from chronic liver failure (84.0% vs. 56.7%, χ2 = 4.771, P=0.029). The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding was significantly decreased (12.0% vs. 46.7%, χ2 =7.674, P=0.006) and ascites severity was significantly improved (mild 40.0% vs. 16.7%, moderate 52.0% vs. 20.0%, severe 8.0% vs. 46.7%, χ2 =13.246 , P=0.001). Conclusions: TIPS combined with 125Ⅰ seed strand implantation is safe and feasible in patients with diffuse intrahepatic tumor combined with tumor thrombus type Ⅲ/Ⅳ. Moreover, it can effectively keep the shunt patency and reduce portal vein pressure, thereby reducing the incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and improving the degree of ascites. TIPS combined with 125Ⅰ seed strand implantation may be used as a standard treatment modality for patients requiring TIPS therapy combined with tumor thrombus type Ⅲ/Ⅳ.

Abstract
Three signal peptides from α-mating factor (α-MF), inulinase (INU) and native levansucrase (LS) were compared for secretion efficiency of Bacillus subtilis levansucrase SacB-T305A in Pichia pastoris GS115. The first complete secretion of bacterial levansucrase in yeasts under methanol induction was achieved while using α-MF signal. The secreted recombinant Lev(α-MF) proved to be glycosylated by combination of NanoLC-MS/MS and Endo H digestion. Interestingly, glycosylation not only improved significantly the polymerase thermostability, but also reversed the products profiles to favor synthesis of high molecular weight (HMW) levan which accounted for approximately 73 % to total levan-type polysaccharides. It indicated for the first time that the glycosylation of recombinant B. subtilis levansucrase affected significantly the products molecular weight distribution. It also provided a promising enzymatic way to effectively product HMW levan from sucrose resources.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to build and validate a radiomics nomogram by integrating the radiomics features extracted from the CT images and known clinical variables (TNM staging, etc.) to individually predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 1,480 patients with clinical data and pretreatment CT images during January 2013 and May 2018 were enrolled in this study. We randomly assigned the patients into training (N = 1036) and validation cohorts (N = 444). We extracted 1,288 quantitative features from the CT images of each patient. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) Cox regression model was applied in feature selection and radiomics signature building. The radiomics nomogram used for the prognosis prediction was built by combining the radiomics signature and clinical variables that were derived from clinical data. Calibration ability and discrimination ability were analyzed in both training and validation cohorts. Results Eleven radiomics features were selected by LASSO Cox regression derived from CT images, and the radiomics signature was built in the training cohort. The radiomics signature was significantly associated with NSCLC patients’ OS (HR = 3.913, p < 0.01). The radiomics nomogram combining the radiomics signature with six clinical variables (age, sex, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, T stage, N stage, and M stage) had a better prognostic performance than the clinical nomogram both in the training cohort (C-index, 0.861, 95% CI: 0.843–0.879 vs. C-index, 0.851, 95% CI: 0.832–0.870; p < 0.001) and in the validation cohort (C-index, 0.868, 95% CI: 0.841–0.896 vs. C-index, 0.854, 95% CI: 0.824–0.884; p = 0.002). The calibration curves demonstrated optimal alignment between the prediction and actual observation. Conclusion The established radiomics nomogram could act as a noninvasive prediction tool for individualized survival prognosis estimation in patients with NSCLC. The radiomics signature derived from CT images may help clinicians in decision-making and hold promise to be adopted in the patient care setting as well as the clinical trial setting.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Epidemiological studies suggested that exposure to transportation noise and long-term community noise was associated with a higher incidence of dementia, especially Alzheimer’s disease (ad). However, since subjects with low education and low income were also more likely to live or work in noisy environments, the association observed between noise exposure and ad may be distorted by education level, income level, and hearing impairment. Thus, whether noise exposure was causally associated with ad risk remained to be further clarified.
Method
A bidirectional Mendelian randomization (BMR) analysis was performed leveraging genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics of noise exposure (N = 456,380, UK Biobank) and ad (N = 54,162, IGAP) from the OpenGWAS database. Those single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a P value less than 1E-05 were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). The TwoSampleMR package (version 0.5.6) was used to do BMR analysis using the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method with default parameters.
Results
The IVW results howed that exposure to noise at different times of day was causally associated with increased risk of ad (daytime: odds ratio [OR] = 2.2113, P = 0.0326; evening: OR = 2.2127, P = 0.0324; nighttime: OR = 2.2110, P = 0.0326; 16-hour: OR = 2.2114, P = 0.0325; 24-hour: OR = 2.2128, P = 0.0324). No obvious pleiotropic effects and heterogeneity were found in the BMR analysis, suggesting good reliability of the causal effect of noise exposure on ad. Moreover, the BMR results remained significant despite removing IVs associated with an education degree, average income, and hearing impairment. There was no reverse causal effect of ad on noise exposure in BMR analysis, which has been deposited in FigShare (https://figshare.com/s/09e30a1a0ccff450246b).
Conclusion
The results BMR analysis demonstrate that noise exposure is causally associated with an elevated risk of ad, independently of education degree, average income, and hearing impairment. Further studies are needed to confirm the underlying mechanism of this effect.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Frailty is common in people with COPD. This systematic review assesses prevalence and trajectory of frailty and associations with adverse health outcomes in people with COPD.
Method
Three databases searched (Medline, Embase and Web of Science) from 2001 to September 2021, supplemented by forward citation searching and hand-searching reference lists. Eligibility criteria were observational studies of frailty (using any measure) in adults (>18 years) with COPD, any setting (community, outpatient, inpatient, rehabilitation, residential care) assessing frailty prevalence, trajectories, or association with health-related outcomes. Study quality was assessed using Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Screening, quality assessment and data extraction performed independently by two reviewers. We synthesized results using narrative synthesis and, where heterogeneity allowed, random-effects meta-analyses.
Results
We identified 53 eligible studies using 11 frailty measures. Most common were frailty phenotype (32/53), frailty index (5/53) and Kihon checklist (4/53). Prevalence varied between frailty definitions, setting, and age of study population. Using the frailty phenotype, median prevalence was 12.5% in community studies. Prevalence was higher using other measures, and in inpatients, pulmonary rehabilitation and residential care settings. Frailty in COPD is dynamic, with airflow limitation, dyspnoea, and exacerbation frequency associated with worsening. Improvements in frailty status were observed following pulmonary rehabilitation. Frailty was associated with mortality (5/7 studies), COPD exacerbation (7/11), and hospital admission (3/4). Using frailty phenotype, pooled hazard ratio for mortality was 1.80 (95% CI 1.24–2.63) and pooled incident rate ratios were 1.42 (0.94–2.17) for COPD exacerbation and 1.46 (1.10–1.92) for hospitalization. Frailty was cross-sectionally associated with airflow limitation (11/14), dyspnoea (15/16), COPD severity scores (10/12), poorer QOL (3/4) and disability (1/1).
Conclusion
Frailty is a common and dynamic state in COPD, associated with adverse outcomes. However, frailty also appears responsive to intervention. A nuanced understanding of frailty identification, prognosis, and reversibility is required to allow appropriate individualization of COPD care.

Abstract
BackgroundSinomenine (SIN) were extracted from Caulis Sinomenii and achieved an remarkable therapeutic effect for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). However, the mechanism of SIN acting on RA is not clear yet.ObjectivesTo excavate potential targets and mechanisms of SIN for RA through bioinformatics.MethodsThe microarray data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. GEO2R was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the unique value was retained. The potential targets of active compounds from various databases were screened. Based on the overlapping genes, Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct a protein-protein interactions (PPI) network and to visualize the mechanisms of the treatment by Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis by DAVID database. Finally, we used AutoDockTools 1.5.6 for molecular docking.ResultsA total of 5053 DEGs and 1070 intersections were obtained, including 486 up-regulated and 584 down-regulated targets. 298 SIN targets were collected from various databases, 84 potential targets were obtained by intersecting with DEGs. There are 80 nodes and 305 edges were obtained in PPI network. Based on the degree, the top 10 target genes were AKT1, RGFR, MTOR, JAK2, NOS3, IL2, IL6, MMP9, MAPK8, HSP9OAA1. The core targets was most relevant to protein phosphorylation, signal transduction though GO analysis. The results of the KEGG enrichment analysis included PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction. Following analysis found that AKT1, EGFR, MTOR and JAK2 existed in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Molecular docking was used to confirm that the binding energy of AKT1 was -7.68 kJ mol -1, EGFR was -5.33kJ mol-1, and MTOR was -4.77 kJ mol-1,JAK2 was -3.25 KJ mol-1. AKT1 and EGFR was further identified as the core targets.ConclusionPresent study show that AKT1 and EGFR may be the key targets of SIN acting on the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the progression of disease and improving RA.Keywords: Sinomenine; Rheumatoid Arthritis; bioinformatics;Disclosure of InterestsNone declaredFundingThis project was supported by grants from National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 81703783 and 81503415);Identification of new biomarkers for Sinomenine treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis based on bioinformatics analysisXL Shen1, 2L,YQ L1, 2Y,X Guo1, 2,LF Wang1, 2,JK Zhang1, 2,ZT Feng1, 2*1.

Abstract
BackgroundFacet joints are frequently impaired in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which raises high disease activity and poor physical function. However, insufficient attention is paid to the relationship between the feature of disease and facet joint arthritis (FJA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, because of lacking an ideal assessment tool. The Canada-Denmark (CANDEN) MRI scoring system is adopted in our study because it is a comprehensive method to assess the alteration of spine [1].ObjectivesWe aimed to find relevant factors for lumbar FJA in axSpA patients.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study that analyzed the lumbar MRI of axSpA patients using the CANDEN system. Demographic and clinical information was recorded. Univariate and multivariate linear mixed model (LMM) was used to screen related factors for lumbar FJA in MRI examinations.Results(1) Totally 108 axSpA patients were investigated in our study, while ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) accounted for half respectively. Sixty-five (60.19%) participants were male and their median age was 35 years. (2) Twenty (37.10%) and 1 (1.80%) AS and nr-axSpA suffered lumbar FJA (P<0.05). (3) Univariate LMM found gender, vertebral body corner inflammation subscore (VBCIS), spondylodiscitis subscore (SDS), posterolateral elements inflammation subscore (PLEIS), fat posterior elements subscore (FPES), fat vertebral body subscore (FVBS), and AS disease activity score with C-reactive protein (ASDAS) related to lumbar FJA in AS patients. Besides, gender, the duration of symptom, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, VCBIS, SDS, PLEIS, FPES, the ankylosis of sacroiliac joints, and bony erosion of hips were involved in the univariate LMM for nr-axSpA. (4) Multivariate LMM displayed that odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of PLEIS, FPES, and ASDAS were 0.66 (0.40, 0.91), 0.45 (0.20, 0.71), and 0.23 (0.01, 0.44) (P<0.05). OR (95%CI) for VBCIS and PLEIS were 0.02 (0.00, 0.04) and 0.23 (0.16, 0.30) in nr-axSpA patients (P<0.05).ConclusionPrevalence of lumbar FJA is higher in AS patients than nr-axSpA. This lesion is mainly related to MRI changes of its neighborhood structure, especially inflammatory alterations, rather than demographic and clinical characteristics.References[1]Krabbe S, Østergaard M, Pedersen SJ, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease with inflammation[1]. Total saponins of Panax japonicus (TSPJs) are effective components extracted from Panax japonicus[2]. They are known to exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressoive properties, but their effect of anti-inflammation in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) remains unclear.ObjectivesTo investigate the anti-inflammatory targets of TSPJ predicted by bioinformatics and the verification in CIA mice.MethodsThe targets of RA are obtained in the GeneCards database. we used Cytoscape 3.7.2 software to construct a protein-protein interactions (PPI) network and obtain the hub genes. There are four effective components of TSPJ: Araloside A, chikusetsusaponin IVa, ginsenoside Rg2, and ginsenoside Ro. Through molecular docking between the screened hub genes and the four effective components of TSPJ, the possibility of TSPJ treating CIA mice can be predicted. The collagen II (CII) and complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) were used to induce the CIA model. After establishing the model, 32 DBA1/J mice were divided into C group (n=8), M group (n=8), L group(n=8), and H group(n=8). The L and H groups were gavaged with TSPJ at 30 mg/kg or 150 mg/kg, and the C and M groups were gavaged with normal saline. The thickness of the hind paw, number of swollen joints, and arthritis index were evaluated. After 11 days of treatment, all the mice were sacrificed after anesthesia. Sera were collected to centrifuge tubes and the levels of inflammatory factor were determined by the ELISA kit following the instruction.ResultsA gene list that enriches 263 genes was obtained by searching RA from the GeneCards database. The hub genes of the top 3 obtained from Cytoscape 3.7.2 software were tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). In addition, interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a classical inflammatory index in the top 10, was selected and included in the predicted target. The results of molecular docking between the predicted target and the components of TSPJ showed that the combined pose has good stability. The numerical value of hind paw thickness, swollen joint counts, and arthritis index in the intervention groups were lower than those in the M group, suggesting TSPJ played a critical role in improving pathological changes. Compared to those of the C group, the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17A were increased in the M group. Compared to those of the M group, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17A in the L and H groups were decreased. Compared to those of the L group, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17A in the H group were decreased. The results suggested that TSPJ may decrease the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17A in CIA mice. These results suggest that TSPJ may inhibit the inflammatory effects of CIA mice.ConclusionCurrent study demonstrated a novel inhibitory effect of TSPJ on inflammation in CIA mice, and TSPJ can act on the targets predicted by bioinformatics of CIA mice, suggesting the potential of TSPJ as a therapeutic agent for RA and providing new ideas for the clinical treatment of RA.References[1]Scherer HU, Haupl T, Burmester GR.

Abstract
The excessive dependence on fossil fuels contributes to the majority of CO2 emissions, influencing on the climate change. One promising alternative to fossil fuels is green hydrogen, which can be produced through water electrolysis from renewable electricity. However, the variety and complexity of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts currently studied increases the difficulty in the integration of catalytic theory, catalyst design and preparation, and characterization methods. Herein, this review first highlights design principles for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts, presenting the thermodynamics, kinetics, and related electronic and structural descriptors for HER. Second, the reasonable design, preparation, mechanistic understanding, and performance enhancement of electrocatalysts are deeply discussed based on intrinsic and extrinsic effects. Third, recent advancements in the electrocatalytic water splitting technology are further discussed briefly. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of the development of highly efficient hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts for water splitting are proposed.

Effects of the COVID-19 Lockdown on Air Pollutant Levels and Associated Reductions in Ischemic Stroke Incidence in Shandong Province, China. Front Public Health 2022; 10:876615. [PMID: 35719628 PMCID: PMC9197688 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.876615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Local governments in China took restrictive measures after the outbreak of COVID-19 to control its spread, which unintentionally resulted in reduced anthropogenic emission sources of air pollutants. In this study, we intended to examine the effects of the COVID-19 lockdown policy on the concentration levels of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of ≤1 μm (PM1), ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5), and ≤10 μm (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO) and the potential subsequent reductions in the incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in Shandong Province, China. Methods A difference-in-difference model combining the daily incidence data for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and air pollutant data in 126 counties was used to estimate the effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the air pollutant levels and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke incident counts. The avoided ischemic stroke cases related to the changes in air pollutant exposure levels were further estimated using concentration-response functions from previous studies. Results The PM1, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and CO levels significantly decreased by −30.2, −20.9, −13.5, −46.3, and −13.1%, respectively. The O3 level increased by 11.5% during the lockdown compared with that in the counterfactual lockdown phase of the past 2 years. There was a significant reduction in population-weighted ischemic stroke cases (−15,315, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −27,689, −2,942), representing a reduction of 27.6% (95% CI: −49.9%, −5.3%). The change in the number of hemorrhagic stroke cases was not statistically significant. The total avoided PM1-, PM2.5-, PM10-, NO2-, and CO–related ischemic stroke cases were 739 (95% CI: 641, 833), 509 (95% CI: 440, 575), 355 (95% CI: 304, 405), 1,132 (95% CI: 1,024, 1,240), and 289 (95% CI: 236, 340), respectively. Conclusion The COVID-19 lockdown indirectly reduced the concentration levels of PM1, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and CO and subsequently reduced the associated ischemic stroke incidence. The health benefits due to the lockdown are temporary, and long-term measures should be implemented to increase air quality and related health benefits in the post-COVID-19 period.

Abstract
Background Both elevated and low resting heart rates are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), suggesting a U-shaped relationship. However, evidence for a U-shaped causal association between genetically-determined resting heart rate and incident AF is limited. We investigated potential directional changes of the causal association between genetically-determined resting heart rate and incident AF. Method and results Seven cohorts of the AFGen consortium contributed data to this meta-analysis. All participants were of European ancestry with known AF status, genotype information, and a heart rate measurement from a baseline electrocardiogram (ECG). Three strata of instrumental variable-free resting heart rate were used to assess possible non-linear associations between genetically-determined resting heart rate and the logarithm of the incident AF hazard rate: <65; 65–75; and >75 beats per minute (bpm). Mendelian randomization analyses using a weighted resting heart rate polygenic risk score were performed for each stratum. We studied 38,981 individuals (mean age 59±10 years, 54% women) with a mean resting heart rate of 67±11 bpm. During a mean follow-up of 13±5 years, 4,779 (12%) individuals developed AF. A U-shaped association between the resting heart rate and the incident AF-hazard ratio was observed. Genetically-determined resting heart rate was inversely associated with incident AF for instrumental variable-free resting heart rates below 65 bpm (hazard ratio for genetically-determined resting heart rate, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.94–0.99; p = 0.01). Genetically-determined resting heart rate was not associated with incident AF in the other two strata. Conclusions For resting heart rates below 65 bpm, our results support an inverse causal association between genetically-determined resting heart rate and incident AF.

Abstract
Fresh fruit and vegetables are invaluable for human health; however, their quality often deteriorates before reaching consumers due to ongoing biochemical processes and compositional changes. We currently lack any objective indices which indicate the freshness of fruit or vegetables resulting in limited capacity to improve product quality eventually leading to food loss and waste. In this conducted study, we hypothesized that certain proteins and compounds, such as glucosinolates, could be used as one potential indicator to monitor the freshness of broccoli following harvest. To support our study, glucosinolate contents in broccoli based on HPLC measurement and transcript expression of glucosinolate biosynthetic genes in response to postharvest stresses were evaluated. We found that the glucosinolate biosynthetic pathway coincided with the progression of senescence in postharvest broccoli during storage. Additionally, we applied machine learning-based hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis, unmixing, and subpixel target detection approaches to evaluate glucosinolate level to detect postharvest senescence in broccoli. This study provides an accessible approach to precisely estimate freshness in broccoli through machine learning-based hyperspectral image analysis. Such a tool would further allow significant advancement in postharvest logistics and bolster the availability of high-quality, nutritious fresh produce.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extended high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) genotype testing has recently been introduced in routine cervical cancer screening. Changes in national and regional hrHPV genotype prevalence offer an objective baseline indicator of the future impact of mass HPV vaccination and HPV-based cervical screening. METHODS This retrospective study reports nationwide hrHPV genotyping results from July 2018 to June 2019 in 29 KingMed Diagnostics laboratories throughout China. RESULTS In total, 2,458,227 hrHPV genotyping results were documented from KingMed's nationwide laboratory database during the study period. The overall prevalence of hrHPV-positive results was 19.1%, with twin peaks for highest hrHPV infection rates in women younger than 30 years of age (22.0%) and 50 years of age and older (21.8%). The most frequently detected hrHPV genotypes were HPV-52 (4.7%), HPV-16 (3.4%), HPV-53 (2.5%), HPV-58 (2.4%), HPV-51 (2.0%), and HPV-68 (1.6%). Overall, hrHPV-positive results varied regionally from 15.3% to 24.4%. CONCLUSIONS Nationwide hrHPV genotyping results from KingMed laboratories offer a baseline for measuring the future impact of large-scale HPV vaccination. High hrHPV infection rates in older (≥50 years) Chinese women likely reflect the limited extent of cervical screening in China. High rates of hrHPV infection and variable regional hrHPV genotype distribution may represent limiting factors for cost-effective implementation of hrHPV-based cervical screening in China.

Abstract
Abstract
The flow behavior and formability of Al-Li alloys under warm forming conditions are complicated because they depend on several factors, such as the deformation mode, strain, and strain rates. Therefore, characterizing the mechanical response, and deformation behavior of AA2060-T8 sheets under a wide range of temperatures and strain rates is crucial to develop a new thermo-mechanical processing (TMP) route for their wide industrial applications. Furthermore, determining the activation energy (Q) and predicting the flow behaviour of AA2060-T8 sheets under warm forming temperatures is meaningful for characterizing the mechanical response of AA2060-T8 sheets at warm deformation conditions. Thus, in this study, the Arrhenius constitutive model is developed to investigate the influence of strain rate and temperature on the warm deformation behaviour of AA2060-T8 and determine the activation energy (Q) of AA2060-T8, which is a crucial physical parameter to estimate the difficulties of deforming AA2060-T8 sheets under warm forming conditions.
