Abstract
Currently, planting selenium-rich crops using inorganic selenium such as selenate and selenite is used to address human selenium deficiency problems. In this paper, besides the above two traditional inorganic selenium speciation, we chose a new organic selenium speciation of potassium selenocyanoacetate to investigate the different effects of selenium speciation on selenium absorption, selenium transformation and cadmium antagonism via foliar application. Plantingexperiments showed that the selenium content of garlic bulbs treated with organic selenium was 1.8-3.9 times higher than that of inorganic selenium. Additionally, the absorption and transformation efficiency of organic selenium in garlic was also the highest, reaching over 95 %. Importantly, it was noteworthy that the cadmium content in bulbs treated with organic selenium was significantly lower than the Chinese food safety standard (0.2 mg/kg). Hence, this study provides an efficient organic selenium speciation which is beneficial to meet human selenium requirements and ensure safe utilization of cadmium-contaminated soils.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical characteristics of Chinese cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and to investigate the variants of CFTR and their potential pathogenicity. STUDY DESIGN Chinese patients with potential CF diagnosis were studied. Clinical data were reviewed retrospectively from medical records. Whole exome sequencing and genetic evaluation were conducted to explore potential gene variants. The disruption of the variants to protein structure and function was explored and validated using in vitro experiments and in silico analysis. RESULTS Four patients were recruited to the study, three of them were diagnosed as CF, and one was diagnosed as CFTR-related disorder. The age at symptom onset for the patients in this study ranged from newborn to 6 years, while the age at diagnosis varied from 3 to 11 years. All four patients exhibited bilateral diffuse bronchiectasis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, and three of them had malnutrition. Finger clubbing was observed in three patients, two of whom displayed mixed ventilatory dysfunction. The CFTR variants spectrum of Chinese children with CF differs from that of Caucasian. A total of six variants were identified, two of which were first reported (c.1219G > T [p.Glu407*] and c.1367delT [p.Ala457Leufs*12]). The nonsense variants c.1219G > T, c.1657C > T and c.2551C > T and the frameshift variant c.1367delT were predicted to introduce premature stop codon and produce shorten CFTR protein, which was also first validated by in vitro truncation assay in this study. The missense variant c.1810A > C was predicted to disrupt the function of the nucleotide-binding domain 1 (NBD1) in the CFTR protein. The splicing variant c.1766 + 5G > T caused skipping of exon 13 and damaged the integrity of CFTR protein. CONCLUSIONS Our study expands the spectrum of phenotypes and genotypes for CF of Chinese origin, which differs significantly from that of Caucasian. Genetic analysis and counseling are crucial and deserve extensive popularization for the diagnosis ofCF in patients of Chinese origin.

Abstract
Adsorbents with dual-component active phases have attracted much attention owing to their potential application in synergistic H2S removal. The influence of spatial arrangements of two components within a support matrix on their desulfurization performance was investigated through regulating the mutual arrangements of CuO and MgO on an activated carbon surface. Their spatial locations were found to remarkably affect interfacial interactions, local pH, the conductivity of adsorbents, and electronic structure of copper oxide. A close contact of CuO with the carbon surface led to strong interactions of both components, inhibiting the reduction of CuO and decreasing its reactivity with H2S. On the other hand, a proximity of MgO to the carbon surface increased local pH, promoting the oxidation of H2S into elemental S, instead of sulfates. Cu+ in the copper oxide phase increased the desulfurization performance due to its ability to activate oxygen and to accelerate a lattice diffusion. Enhanced surface conductivity due to the interfacial interactions improved the desulfurization efficiency and favored the formation of elemental S through promoting an electron transfer in redox reactions.

Abstract
Background Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) have been found to take part in type 2 inflammation by secreting TH2 cytokines. Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo-AI), a major structural and functional protein of high-density lipoproteins, has anti-inflammatory effects on neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils. However, its effects on ILC2s are not well characterized. Objective We aimed to investigate the effect of Apo-AI on the proliferation and function of ILC2s as well as its possible mechanism. Methods The protein expression of Apo-AI and the percentage of ILC2s in peripheral blood between 20 allergic rhinitis patients and 20 controls were detected by ELISA and flow cytometry. The effect of Apo-AI and miR-155 on ILC2 proliferation and function was detected by tritiated thymidine incorporation and ELISA. Anima models were adopted to verify the effect of Apo-AI in vivo. Results Elevated expression of Apo-AI was observed in allergic rhinitis patients. Apo-AI promotes ABCA1 expression by ILC2s, which can be inhibited by anti-Apo-AI. Apo-AI decreased ILC2 proliferation and the microRNA levels of GATA3 and RORα from ILC2s. The miR-155 overexpression promoted the upregulation of GATA3 and type II cytokines from ILC2s, while the addition of Apo-AI or miR-155 inhibitor significantly inhibited expression of GATA3 and type II cytokines by ILC2s. Apo-AI-/- mice showed as enhanced allergen-induced airway inflammation. The miR-155 inhibitor can reverse the enhanced allergen-induced airway inflammation in Apo-AI-/- mice, while miR-155 mimics can reverse the decreased allergen-induced airway inflammation in Apo-AI-treated mice. Conclusion Apo-AI suppressed the proliferation and function of ILC2s through miR-155 in allergic rhinitis. Our data provide new insights into the mechanism of allergen-induced airway inflammation.

Abstract
Particulate of diameter ≤ 1 µm (PM1) presents a novel risk factor of adverse health effects. Nevertheless, the association of PM1 with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population is not well understood, particularly in regions with high PM1 levels like China. Based on a nationwide representative survey involving 47,204 adults and multi-source ambient air pollution inversion data, the present study evaluated the association of PM1 with CKD prevalence in China. The two-year average PM1, particulate of diameter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5), and PM1-2.5 values were accessed using a satellite-based random forest approach. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or albuminuria. The results suggested that a 10 μg/m3 rise in PM1 was related to a higher CKD risk (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-1.18) and albuminuria (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05-1.17). The association between PM1 and CKD was more evident among urban populations, older adults, and those without comorbidities such as diabetes or hypertension. Every 1% increase in the PM1/PM2.5 ratio was related to the prevalence of CKD (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.03-1.04), but no significant relationship was found for PM1-2.5. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated long-term exposure to PM1 was associated with an increased risk of CKD in the general population and PM1 might play a leading role in the observed relationship of PM2.5 with the risk of CKD. These findings provide crucial evidence for developing air pollution control strategies to reduce the burden of CKD.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Ruyi Zhenbao Pill (RYZBP) is a traditional Tibetan medicine that has been used for over 300 years in China to treat neurological diseases, specifically neuropathic pain (NP). However, its characteristics and mechanism of action in treating NP remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY Based on animal experiments and transcriptomics to evaluate the characteristics and mechanism of RYZBP in treating NP. METHODS Mice were divided into six groups using random assignment: sham-operation group, spinal nerve ligation (SNL) group, RYZBP low (0.65 g kg-1), medium (1.30 g kg-1), high (2.60 g kg-1) doses groups, and positive drug pregabalin (PGB, 0.05 g kg-1) group. Mice received intragastrical administered for 14 consecutive days. SNL and intrathecal injection models were employed. The analgesic effects were assessed using the Von Frey test, Acetone test, and Hot Plate test. L5 spinal dorsal horns were collected for transcriptomics on day 15. The potential signaling pathways and Hub genes of RYZBP to ameliorate NP were obtained through transcriptomics and network pharmacology. Molecular docking was utilized to evaluate the binding ability of candidate active ingredients with the Hub genes. Finally, western blot (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF) were used to validate the predicted targets. RESULTS RYZBP demonstrated a dose-dependent alleviation of mechanical allodynia, cold and heat stimulus-induced pain in SNL mice. Transcriptomics analysis identified 24 differentially expressed genes, and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the CXCL10-CXCR3 signal axis may be the primary biological pathway through which RYZBP relieve NP. Molecular docking test indicated that the active ingredient in RYZBP exhibit a strong affinity for the target protein CXCL10. WB and IF tests showed that RYZBP can significantly inhibit CXCL10 and CXCR3 and its downstream molecules expression in the spinal dorsal horn of SNL mice. Additionally, intrathecal injection of rmCXCL10 worsened pain hypersensitivity, while RYZBP was able to suppress the pain hypersensitivity response induced by rmCXCL10 and reduce the expression levels of CXCL10 and CXCR3 and its downstream molecules. CONCLUSION RYZBP had a significant analgesic effect on NP model, and this effect may be related to inhibiting the CXCL10-CXCR3 pathway in the spinal dorsal horn.

Abstract
Sewage treatment works have been considered as hotspots for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Anaerobic digestion (AD) has emerged as a promising approach for controlling the spread of ARGs while destroying biomass in sludge. Evaluating the impact of AD on ARG removal relies on the absolute quantification of ARGs. In this study, we quantified the ARG concentrations in both full-scale and lab-scale AD systems using a cellular spike-ins based absolute quantification approach. Results demonstrated that AD effectively removed 68 ± 18 %, 55 ± 12 %, and 57 ± 19 % of total ARGs in semi-continuous AD digesters, with solid retention times of 15, 20, and 25 days, respectively. The removal efficiency of total ARGs increased as the AD process progressed in the batch digesters over 40 days. A significant negative correlation was observed between digestion time and the concentrations of certain ARG types, such as beta-lactam, sulfonamide, and tetracycline. However, certain potential pathogenic antibiotic resistant bacteria (PARB) and multi-resistant high-risk ARGs-carrying populations robustly persisted throughout the AD process, regardless of the operating conditions. This study highlighted the influence of the AD process and its operating parameters on ARG removal, and revealed the broad spectrum and persistence of PARB in AD systems. These findings provided critical insights for the management of microbial hazards.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) poses a significant threat to women's health worldwide. Eupatilin is a key bioactive component of the Chinese herbal medicine Artemisia asiatica Nakai. Recent research reports have proved the inhibitory function of Eupatilin in many diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 21-23 nucleotide-long, single-stranded, noncoding RNA molecules generated endogenously, and many studies have indicated that miRNAs are involved in the development of osteoporosis. This study explored the role and potential mechanism of Eupatilin underlying PMOP. First, rats were given intragastric administration of Eupatilin every day and subcutaneous injections of oligonucleotides or plasmids that interfered with miR-211-5p or janus kinase 2 (JAK2) once a week. After 4 weeks, the PMOP rat model was established. Then, serum alkaline phosphatase, calcium, and phosphorus levels, as well as femur bone mineral density and biomechanical parameters, were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were applied for detecting the pathological condition of femur, and immunohistochemical staining was for detecting osteocalcin. MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with plasmid vectors interfering with miR-211-5p or JAK2; and cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity, and cell mineralization were subsequently examined. The relationship between miR-211-5p and JAK2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway was analyzed. The targeting relation between miR-211-5p and JAK2 was also verified. The experimental results revealed that Eupatilin improved the pathological conditions of PMOP rats by promoting the proliferation and mineralization of osteoblasts. MiR-211-5p was down-regulated and JAK2/STAT3 was upregulated in PMOP rats. Upregulation of miR-211-5p further improved the pathological conditions of PMOP rats based on Eupatilin treatment. MiR-211-5p inhibited the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. JAK2 offset the effects of elevated miR-211-5p on PMOP rats. Overall, Eupatilin attenuates PMOP through elevating miR-211-5p and repressing JAK2/STAT3 pathway, which suggests the utility of Eupatilin as a potential drug for POMP treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of sodium salicylate (SS) on semen preservation and metabolic regulation in goats. METHODS Under the condition of low temperature, SS was added to goat semen diluent to detect goat sperm motility, plasma membrane, acrosome, antioxidant capacity, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and metabonomics. RESULTS The results show that at the 8th day of low-temperature storage, the sperm motility of the 20 μM SS group was 66.64%, and the integrity rates of the plasma membrane and acrosome were both above 60%, significantly higher than those of the other groups. The activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the sperm of the 20 μM SS group were significantly higher than those of the control group, the contents of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde were significantly lower than those in the control group, the MMP was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the contents of Ca2+ and total cholesterol were significantly higher than those in the control group. Through metabonomics analysis, there were significant metabolic differences between the control group and the 20 μM SS group. Twenty of the most significant metabolic markers were screened, mainly involving five metabolic pathways, of which nicotinic acid and nicotinamide metabolic pathways were the most significant. CONCLUSION The results indicate that SS can effectively improve the low-temperature preservation quality of goat sperm.

Abstract
This study evaluated carcass attributes, meat and belly qualities in finisher boars (n = 79) selected for feed efficiency (low, intermediate and high) based on estimated breeding value for feed conversion ratio within a Large White dam and sire genetic lines. The sire line had lower trimmed fat proportions and higher lean than the dam line (P < 0.01). Genetic lines expressed slight colour changes and drip losses (P < 0.05), with no differences in pH, marbling and cooking traits (P > 0.05). High-efficient animals presented the highest lean yield (P < 0.01), the lowest trimmed fat proportion (P < 0.01) and no effect on meat and belly quality attributes (P > 0.05) compared with other efficient groups. Interaction between efficiency group and genetic line was only detected for belly weight and thickness (P < 0.01). High-efficient animals offer a greater leanness level, with minimal impact on meat and belly quality traits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several studies have shown that propofol administration during surgery effectively attenuates remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia (RIH). Ciprofol, a novel intravenous sedative agent analogous to propofol, has not yet been proven efficacious in alleviating RIH. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ciprofol on RIH and the possible mechanisms involved. METHODS The RIH model was established by an infusion of remifentanil (1 μg·kg-1·min-1) 60 min in rats with incisional pain. Ciprofol (0.1, 0.25, and 0.4 mg·kg-1·min-1) was simultaneously infused to evaluate its effect on RIH. The antinociception of ciprofol was verified by measured paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL). γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor α2 subunit (α2GABAAR), N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor NR2B subunit (NR2B), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II α (CaMKIIα), and phosphorylated CaMKIIα (P-CaMKIIα) in the spinal cord and hippocampus of rats were assessed by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. KEY FINDINGS The results showed that ciprofol dose-dependently increased PWMT and PWTL values in RIH rats. Moreover, ciprofol upregulated α2GABAAR and downregulated NR2B and P-CaMKIIα in the rat spinal cord and hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS Ciprofol alleviates RIH effectively, and the anti-hyperalgesic mechanisms may involve increasing α2GABAAR levels and decreasing NR2B and P-CaMKIIα levels in the spinal cord and hippocampus.

Abstract
Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) show promise for tackling complex quantum chemistry challenges and realizing quantum advantages. However, in VQE, the measurement step encounters difficulties due to errors in objective function evaluation, e.g., the energy of a quantum state. While increasing the number of measurement shots can mitigate measurement errors, this approach leads to higher costs. Strategies for shot assignment have been investigated, allowing for the allocation of varying shot numbers to different Hamiltonian terms and reducing measurement variance through term-specific insights. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic approach, the Variance-Preserved Shot Reduction (VPSR) method. This technique strives to minimize the total number of measurement shots while preserving the variance of measurements throughout the VQE process. Our numerical experiments on H2 and LiH molecular ground states demonstrate the effectiveness of VPSR in achieving VQE convergence with a notably lower shot count.

Abstract
Iron-based Prussian white (PW) is one of the promising cathodes for sodium-ion batteries, owing to its high capacity and low cost. However, the practical application of PW is hindered by its poor air stability. The metal-oxide coating has been proven to be an effective way to improve the air stability of electrode materials. Whereas, the target electrode materials conventionally need to be dissolved in the aqueous solution to obtain precursor composites and subsequently calcined at a high temperature during the metal-oxide coating process, which could destroy the phase structure of PW as a result of the sodium leaching into the water and thermal decomposition at the high temperature. In this work, we propose a facile method to construct a ZnO surface layer on PW by utilizing ethanol as a solvent and a mild post-treatment temperature. The ZnO coating layer effectively enhances the air stability of PW and induces the formation of the stable interface on PW. The PW-5 wt % ZnO-E (exposed in 60% humidity air after 30 days) cathode demonstrates a much higher capacity retention (94.1%) at 1 C after 200 cycles than that of PW-E (54%). This work lays a solid foundation for further application of PW.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into syngas is a promising way to tackle the energy and environmental challenges, however, it remains a challenge to achieve reaction decoupling of CO2 reduction and water splitting. Therefore, efficient production of syngas with a suitable CO/H2 ratio for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis can hardly be achieved. Herein, bipolaronic motifs including Co(II)-pyridine N motifs and Co(II)-imine N motifs have been rationally designed into a crystalline imine-linked 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione-based covalent organic framework (bp-Co-COF) with a triazine core. These featured structures with spatially separated active sites exhibit efficient photocatalytic performance toward CO2-to-syngas conversion with a suitable CO/H2 ratio (1:1-1:3). The bipolaronic motifs enable a highly separated electron-hole state, whereby the Co(II)-pyridine N motifs tend to be the active sites for CO2 activation and accelerate the hydrogenation to form *COOH intermediates; whilst the Co(II)-imine N motifs increase surface hydrophilicity for H2 evolution. The photocatalytic reductions of CO2 and H2O thus decouple and proceed via a concerted way on the bipolaronic motifs of bp-Co-COF. The optimal bp-Co-COF photocatalyst achieves a high syngas evolution rate of 15.8 mmol g-1 h-1 with CO/H2 ratio of 1:2, outperforming previously reported COF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Oral behavior management methods include basic behavior management methods and drug behavior management methods. In many cases, dental treatment that cannot be done simply through basic behavior management is not possible. The uncooperative behavior of children with dental fear in oral treatment has increased the demand for medication based behavior management methods. Drug sedation can provide more effective analgesic and anti-anxiety effects, thereby helping to provide comfortable, efficient, and high-quality dental services. This article will review the drug sedation methods selected in clinical treatment of pediatric dental fear in recent years, as well as the safety and effectiveness of commonly used drugs, in order to provide guidance for dental professionals in clinical practice.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials offer rich tuning opportunities generated by different stacking configurations or by introducing intercalants into the vdW gaps. Current knowledge of the interplay between stacking polytypes and intercalation often relies on macroscopically averaged probes, which fail to pinpoint the exact atomic position and chemical state of the intercalants in real space. Here, by using atomic-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a scanning transmission electron microscope, we visualize a stacking-selective self-intercalation phenomenon in thin films of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) Nb1+xSe2. We observe robust contrasts between 180°-stacked layers with large amounts of Nb intercalants inside their vdW gaps and 0°-stacked layers with little detectable intercalants inside their vdW gaps, coexisting on the atomic scale. First-principles calculations suggest that the films lie at the boundary of a phase transition from 0° to 180° stacking when the intercalant concentration x exceeds ~0.25, which we could attain in our films due to specific kinetic pathways. Our results offer not only renewed mechanistic insights into stacking and intercalation, but also open up prospects for engineering the functionality of TMDCs via stacking-selective self-intercalation.

Abstract
The intrinsic stability of the acceptor is a crucial component of the photovoltaic device stability. In this study, we investigated the efficiency and stability of the nonfused-ring acceptors LC8 and BC8 under indoor light conditions. Interestingly, we found that devices based on BC8 with terminal side chains exhibited a higher indoor efficiency and stability. Through accelerated aging experiments, we discovered that the acceptors generate singlet oxygen under light exposure with BC8 demonstrating lower levels of ROS compared to LC8. We attribute this difference to the modulation of the acceptor aggregation orientation. Furthermore, the generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) further deteriorate the acceptor structure, and this phenomenon is also observed in high-efficiency acceptor structures, such as Y6. Our research reveals important mechanisms of acceptor photo-oxidation processes, providing a theoretical basis for enhancing the intrinsic stability of acceptors.

Abstract
Methyleugenol, a bioactive compound in the phenylpropene family, undergoes its final and crucial biosynthetic transformation when eugenol O-methyltransferase (EOMT) converts eugenol into methyleugenol. While Melaleuca bracteata essential oil is particularly rich in methyleugenol, it contains only trace amounts of its precursor, eugenol. This suggests that the EOMT enzyme in M. bracteata is highly efficient, although it has not yet been characterized. In this study, we isolated and identified an EOMT gene from M. bracteata, termed MbEOMT1, which is primarily expressed in the flowers and leaves and is inducible by methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Subcellular localization of MbEOMT1 in the cytoplasm was detected. Through transient overexpression experiments, we found that MbEOMT1 significantly elevates the concentration of methyleugenol in M. bracteata leaves. Conversely, silencing of MbEOMT1 via virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) led to a marked reduction in methyleugenol levels. Our in vitro enzymatic assays further confirmed that MbEOMT1 specifically catalyzes the methylation of eugenol. Collectively, these findings establish that the MbEOMT1 gene is critical for methyleugenol biosynthesis in M. bracteata. This study enriches the understanding of phenylpropene biosynthesis and suggests that MbEOMT1 could serve as a valuable catalyst for generating bioactive compounds in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating data show that probiotics may be beneficial for reducing depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms. However, the best combinations and species of probiotics have not been identified. The objective of our study was to assess the most effective combinations and components of different probiotics through network meta-analysis. METHOD A systematic search of four databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase, was conducted from inception to 11 January 2024. The GRADE framework was used to assess the quality of evidence contributing to each network estimate. RESULTS We deemed 45 trials eligible, these included 4053 participants and 10 types of interventions. The quality of evidence was rated as high or moderate. The NMA revealed that Bifidobacterium exhibited a greater probability of being the optimal probiotic species for improving anxiety symptoms (SMD = -0.80; 95% CI -1.49 to -0.11), followed by Lactobacillus (SMD = -0.49; 95% CI -0.85 to -0.12). In addition, for multiple strains, compared with the other interventions, Lactobacillus + Bifidobacterium (SMD = -0.41; 95% CI -0.73 to -0.10) had a positive effect on depression. CONCLUSION The NMA revealed that Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium had prominent efficacy in the treatment of individuals with anxiety, depression, and combination of Lactobacillus + Bifidobacterium had a similar effect. With few direct comparisons available between probiotic species, this NMA may be instrumental in shaping the guidelines for probiotic treatment of psychological disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Inherited hyperpigmented skin disorders comprise a group of entities with considerable clinical and genetic heterogenicity. The genetic basis of a majority of these disorders remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify the underlying gene for an unclarified disorder of autosomal-dominant generalized skin hyperpigmentation with or without glomuvenous malformation. METHODS Whole-exome sequencing was performed in five unrelated families with autosomal-dominant generalized skin hyperpigmentation. Variants were confirmed using Sanger sequencing and a minigene assay was employed to evaluate the splicing alteration. Immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to determine the quantity of melanocytes and melanosomes in hyperpigmented skin lesions. GLMN knockdown by siRNA assays was performed in human MNT-1 cells to examine melanin concentration and the underlying molecular mechanism. RESULTS We identified five variants in GLMN in five unrelated families, including c.995_996insAACA(p.Ser333Thrfs*11), c.632 + 4delA, c.1470_1473dup(p.Thr492fs*12), c.1319G > A(p.Trp440*), and c.1613_1614insTA(Thr540*). The minigene assay confirmed that the c.632 + 4delA mutant resulted in an abolishment of the canonical donor splice site. Although the number of melanocytes remained unchanged in skin lesions as demonstrated by immunofluorescent staining of tyrosinase and premelanosome protein (PMEL), TEM revealed an increased quantity of melanosomes in the skin lesion of a patient. The GLMN-knockdown MNT-1 cells demonstrated a higher melanin concentration, a higher proportion of stage III and IV melanosomes, upregulation of MITF and tyrosinase, and downregulation of phosphorylated p70S6 K, compared to mock-transfected cells. CONCLUSIONS We found loss-of-function variants in GLMN are associated with generalized skin hyperpigmentation with or without glomuvenous malformation. Our study implicates a potential role of glomulin in human skin melanogenesis, in addition to vascular morphogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on survival outcomes in older women with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer (BC). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, which contains publicly available information from US cancer registries. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The study included 45 762 older patients with BC aged over 65 years diagnosed between 2010 and 2015. METHODS Patients were divided into two groups based on age: 65-79 years and ≥80 years. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to balance clinicopathological characteristics between patients who received ACT and those who did not. Data analysis used the χ2 test and Kaplan-Meier method, with a subgroup analysis conducted to identify potential beneficiaries of ACT. OUTCOME MEASURES Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS Due to clinicopathological characteristic imbalances between patients with BC aged 65-79 years and those aged ≥80 years, PSM was used to categorise the population into two groups for analysis: the 65-79 years age group (n=38 128) and the ≥80 years age group (n=7634). Among patients aged 65-79 years, Kaplan-Meier analysis post-PSM indicated that ACT was effective in improving OS (p<0.05, HR=0.80, 95% CI 0.73 to 0.88), particularly in those with advanced disease stages, but did not show a significant benefit in CSS (p=0.09, HR=1.13, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.31). Conversely, for patients aged ≥80 years, ACT did not demonstrate any improvement in OS (p=0.79, HR=1.04, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.36) or CSS (p=0.09, HR=1.46, 95% CI 0.69 to 2.26) after matching. Subgroup analysis also revealed no positive impact on OS and CSS. CONCLUSIONS Patients with HR+/HER2- BC ≥80 years of age may be considered exempt from ACT because no benefits were found in terms of OS and CSS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing in older males globally. Age, ethnicity, and family history are identified as the well-known risk factors for prostate cancer, but few modifiable factors have been firmly established. The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate various factors modifying the risk of prostate cancer reported in meta-analyses of prospective observational studies and mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. METHODS AND FINDINGS We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from the inception to January 10, 2022, updated on September 9, 2023, to identify meta-analyses and MR studies on prostate cancer. Eligibility criteria for meta-analyses were (1) meta-analyses including prospective observational studies or studies that declared outcome-free at baseline; (2) evaluating the factors of any category associated with prostate cancer incidence; and (3) providing effect estimates for further data synthesis. Similar criteria were applied to MR studies. Meta-analysis was repeated using the random-effects inverse-variance model with DerSimonian-Laird method. Quality assessment was then conducted for included meta-analyses using AMSTAR-2 tool and for MR studies using STROBE-MR and assumption evaluation. Subsequent evidence grading criteria for significant associations in meta-analyses contained sample size, P values and 95% confidence intervals, 95% prediction intervals, heterogeneity, and publication bias, assigning 4 evidence grades (convincing, highly suggestive, suggestive, or weak). Significant associations in MR studies were graded as robust, probable, suggestive, or insufficient considering P values and concordance of effect directions. Finally, 92 selected from 411 meta-analyses and 64 selected from 118 MR studies were included after excluding the overlapping and outdated studies which were published earlier and contained fewer participants or fewer instrument variables for the same exposure. In total, 123 observational associations (45 significant and 78 null) and 145 causal associations (55 significant and 90 null) were categorized into lifestyle; diet and nutrition; anthropometric indices; biomarkers; clinical variables, diseases, and treatments; and environmental factors. Concerning evidence grading on significant associations, there were 5 highly suggestive, 36 suggestive, and 4 weak associations in meta-analyses, and 10 robust, 24 probable, 4 suggestive, and 17 insufficient causal associations in MR studies. Twenty-six overlapping factors between meta-analyses and MR studies were identified, with consistent significant effects found for physical activity (PA) (occupational PA in meta: OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.80, 0.94; accelerator-measured PA in MR: OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.33, 0.72), height (meta: OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.12; MR: OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.15, for aggressive prostate cancer), and smoking (current smoking in meta: OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.68, 0.80; smoking initiation in MR: OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.86, 0.97). Methodological limitation is that the evidence grading criteria could be expanded by considering more indices. CONCLUSIONS In this large-scale study, we summarized the associations of various factors with prostate cancer risk and provided comparisons between observational associations by meta-analysis and genetically estimated causality by MR analyses. In the absence of convincing overlapping evidence based on the existing literature, no robust associations were identified, but some effects were observed for height, physical activity, and smoking.

Abstract
Freight truck-related crashes in urban contexts have caused significant economic losses and casualties, making it increasingly essential to understand the spatial patterns of such crashes. Limitations regarding data availability have greatly undermined the generalizability and applicability of certain prior research findings. This study explores the potential of emerging geospatial data to delve deeply into the determinants of these incidents with a more generalizable research design. By synergizing high-resolution satellite imagery with refined GIS map data and geospatial tabular data, a rich tapestry of the road environment and freight truck operations emerges. To navigate the challenges of zero-inflated issues of the crash datasets, the Tweedie Gradient Boosting model is adopted. Results reveal a pronounced spatial heterogeneity between highway and urban non-highway road networks in crash determinants. Factors such as freight truck activity, intricate road network patterns, and vehicular densities rise to prominence, albeit with varying degrees of influence across highways and urban non-highway terrains. Results emphasize the need for context-specific interventions for policymakers, encompassing optimized urban planning, infrastructural overhauls, and refined traffic management protocols. This endeavor may not only elevate the academic discourse around freight truck-related crashes but also champion a data-driven approach towards safer road ecosystems for all.

Abstract
Cu-catalyzed electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) produces multi-carbon (C2+) chemicals with considerable selectivities and activities, yet required high overpotentials impede its practical application. Here, we design interfaces with abrupt coordination number (CN) changes that greatly reduce the applied potential for achieving high C2+ Faradaic efficiency (FE). Encouraged by the mechanistic finding that the coupling between *CO and *CO(H) is the most probable C-C bond formation path, we use Cu2O- and Cu-phthalocyanine-derived Cu (OD-Cu and PD-Cu) to build the interface. Using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we find that the Cu CN of OD-Cu is ~11, favoring CO* adsorption, while the PD-Cu has a COH*-favorable CN of ~4. Operando Raman spectroscopy revealed that the interfaces with abrupt CN changes promote *OCCOH formation. As a result, the designed catalyst achieves a C2+ FE of 85±2% at 220 mA cm-2 in a zero-gap CO2 electrolyzer. An improvement of C2+ FE by 3 times is confirmed at the low potential regime where the current density is 60-140 mA cm-2, compared to bare OD-Cu. We report a 45-h stable CO2RR operation at 220 mA cm-2, producing a C2+ product FE of ~80%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The impact of the difference between cystatin C- and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRdiff) on diabetic microvascular complications (DMCs) remains unknown. We investigated the associations of eGFRdiff with overall DMCs and subtypes, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and diabetic neuropathy (DN). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included 25,825 participants with diabetes free of DMCs at baseline (2006 to 2010) from the UK Biobank. eGFRdiff was calculated using both absolute difference (eGFRabdiff) and the ratio (eGFRrediff) between cystatin C- and creatinine-based calculations. Incidence of DMCs was ascertained using electronic health records. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the associations of eGFRdiff with overall DMCs and subtypes. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 13.6 years, DMCs developed in 5,753 participants, including 2,752 cases of DR, 3,203 of DKD, and 1,149 of DN. Each SD decrease of eGFRabdiff was associated with a 28% higher risk of overall DMCs, 14% higher risk of DR, 56% higher risk of DKD, and 29% higher risk of DN. For each 10% decrease in eGFRrediff, the corresponding hazard ratios (95% CIs) were 1.16 (1.14, 1.18) for overall DMCs, 1.08 (1.05, 1.11) for DR, 1.29 (1.26, 1.33) for DKD, and 1.17 (1.12, 1.22) for DN. The magnitude of associations was not materially altered in all sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Large eGFRdiff was independently associated with risk of DMCs and its subtypes. Our findings suggested monitoring eGFRdiff among diabetes population has potential benefit for identification of high-risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a type of chronic childhood arthritis with complex pathogenesis. Immunological studies have shown that JIA is an acquired self-inflammatory disease, involving a variety of immune cells, and it is also affected by genetic and environmental susceptibility. However, the precise causative relationship between the phenotype of immune cells and JIA remains unclear to date. The objective of our study is to approach this inquiry from a genetic perspective, employing a method of genetic association analysis to ascertain the causal relationship between immune phenotypes and the onset of JIA. METHODS In this study, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to select single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with immune cells as instrumental variables to analyze the bidirectional causal relationship between 731 immune cells and JIA. There were four types of immune features (median fluorescence intensity (MFI), relative cellular (RC), absolute cellular (AC), and morphological parameters (MP)). Finally, the heterogeneity and horizontal reproducibility of the results were verified by sensitivity analysis, which ensured more robust results. RESULTS We found that CD3 on CM CD8br was causally associated with JIA at the level of 0.05 significant difference (95% CI = 0.630 ~ 0.847, P = 3.33 × 10-5, PFDR = 0.024). At the significance level of 0.20, two immunophenotypes were causally associated with JIA, namely: HLA DR on CD14+ CD16- monocyte (95% CI = 0.633 ~ 0.884, P = 6.83 × 10-4, PFDR = 0.16) and HLA DR on CD14+ monocyte (95% CI = 0.627 ~ 0.882, P = 6.9 × 10-4, PFDR = 0.16). CONCLUSION Our study assessed the causal effect of immune cells on JIA from a genetic perspective. These findings emphasize the complex and important role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of JIA and lay a foundation for further study of the pathogenesis of JIA.

Abstract
As testicular mesenchymal stromal cells, stem Leydig cells (SLCs) show great promise in the treatment of male hypogonadism. The therapeutic functions of mesenchymal stromal cells are largely determined by their reciprocal regulation by immune responses. However, the immunoregulatory properties of SLCs remain unclear. Here, we observe that SLCs transplantation restore male fertility and testosterone production in an ischemia‒reperfusion injury mouse model. SLCs prevent inflammatory cascades through mitochondrial transfer to macrophages. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) released from activated macrophages inducing mitochondrial transfer from SLCs to macrophages in a transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily member 7 (TRPM7)-mediated manner. Notably, knockdown of TRPM7 in transplanted SLCs compromised therapeutic outcomes in both testicular ischemia‒reperfusion and testicular aging mouse models. These findings reveal a new mechanism of SLCs transplantation that may contribute to preserve testis function in male patients with hypogonadism related to immune disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS While the phenotypic association between schizophrenia and breast cancer has been observed, the underlying intrinsic link is not adequately understood. We aim to conduct a comprehensive interrogation on both phenotypic and genetic relationships between schizophrenia and breast cancer. STUDY DESIGN We first used data from UK Biobank to evaluate a phenotypic association and performed an updated meta-analysis incorporating existing cohort studies. We then leveraged genomic data to explore the shared genetic architecture through a genome-wide cross-trait design. STUDY RESULTS Incorporating results of our observational analysis, meta-analysis of cohort studies suggested a significantly increased incidence of breast cancer among women with schizophrenia (RR = 1.30, 95% CIs = 1.14-1.48). A positive genomic correlation between schizophrenia and overall breast cancer was observed (rg = 0.12, P = 1.80 × 10-10), consistent across ER+ (rg = 0.10, P = 5.74 × 10-7) and ER- subtypes (rg = 0.09, P = .003). This was further corroborated by four local signals. Cross-trait meta-analysis identified 23 pleiotropic loci between schizophrenia and breast cancer, including five novel loci. Gene-based analysis revealed 27 shared genes. Mendelian randomization demonstrated a significantly increased risk of overall breast cancer (OR = 1.07, P = 4.81 × 10-10) for genetically predisposed schizophrenia, which remained robust in subgroup analysis (ER+: OR = 1.10, P = 7.26 × 10-12; ER-: OR = 1.08, P = 3.50 × 10-6). No mediation effect and reverse causality was found. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates an intrinsic link underlying schizophrenia and breast cancer, which may inform tailored screening and management of breast cancer in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein-albumin ratio (CAR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in the prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods This study included 265 patients. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to preliminarily evaluate the predictive ability of NLR, CAR, and PLR for all-cause death. The primary outcome was all-cause death during hospitalization, while the secondary outcomes were cardiovascular death and respiratory failure death. The Cox proportional hazard model with adjusted covariates was used to analyze the cumulative risk of outcomes. We also conducted subgroup analyses based on the acute and chronic characteristics of CAD. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to further evaluate the robustness of the primary outcome. Results The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under curve (AUC) values were 0.686 (95% CI 0.592-0.781, P<0.001) for NLR, 0.749 (95% CI 0.667-0.832, P<0.001) for CAR, and 0.571 (95% CI 0.455-0.687, P=0.232) for PLR. The Cox proportional hazard model showed that trends in NLR and PLR did not affect the risk of all-cause death (P=0.096 and P=0.544 for trend, respectively), but a higher CAR level corresponded to a higher risk of all-cause death (P<0.001 for trend). Similarly, The trends of NLR and PLR did not affect the risk of cardiovascular death and respiratory failure death, while a higher CAR level corresponded to a higher risk of cardiovascular death and respiratory failure death. The results of subgroup analyses and PSM were consistent with the total cohort. Conclusion In patients with CAD complicated with COVID-19, a higher CAR level corresponded to a higher risk of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and respiratory failure death, while trends in NLR and PLR did not.

Abstract
Sediments are the vital fate of organic compounds, and the recognition of organic compounds in sediments is constructive in providing comprehensive and long-term information. In this study, a three-step nontarget screening (NTS) analysis workflow using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) revealed the extensive existence of organic compounds in the Taipu River sediment. Organic compounds (705) were detected and divided into four structure-related groups or eight use-related classes. In the Taipu River's mainstream, a significant difference was found in the composition profiles of the identified organic compounds among various sites, demonstrating the organic compounds were more abundant in the midstream and downstream than in the upstream. Meanwhile, the hydrodynamic force was recognized as a potential factor influencing organic compounds' occurrence. Based on multiple statistical analyses, the shipping and textile printing industries were considered the significant contributors to the identified organic compounds. Considering the principles of the priority substances and the current status of the substances, two traditional pollutants and ten emerging organic compounds were recognized as the priority organic compounds for the Taipu River. Conclusively, this study established a workflow for NTS analysis of sediment samples and demonstrated the necessity of NTS analysis to evaluate the impact of terrestrial emissions of organic compounds on the aquatic environment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine the relationship between Toxoplasma gondii seropositivity and cognitive function in older adults. DESIGN An observational cross-sectional study. SETTING The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study took place at participants' homes and mobile examination centres. PARTICIPANTS A total of 2956 older adults aged 60 and above from the NHANES from 2011 to 2014 were included in the study. Exposure of interest: participants had serum Toxoplasma gondii antibody analysed in the laboratory. A value>33 IU/mL was categorised as seropositive for Toxoplasma gondii infection; <27 IU/mL was categorised as seronegative for Toxoplasma gondii infection. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Cognitive tests included the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word Learning subtest (CERAD-WL) for immediate and delayed memory, the Animal Fluency Test (AFT), and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). RESULTS About half of the 2956 participants (mean age 70.0) were female (51.0%), non-Hispanic White (48.3%), and completed some college or above (48.3%). A total of 703 participants were positive for Toxoplasma gondii infection (23.8%). Adjusted linear regression showed that compared with participants with negative Toxoplasma gondii infection, those with positive Toxoplasma gondii infection had lower CERAD-WL immediate memory (beta (β) -0.16, 95% CI -0.25 to -0.07), CERAD-WL delayed memory (β -0.15, 95% CI -0.24 to -0.06), AFT (β -0.15, 95% CI -0.24 to -0.06), DSST (β -0.34, 95% CI -0.43 to -0.26), and global cognition (β -0.24, 95% CI -0.32 to -0.16) z-scores after controlling for the covariates. CONCLUSIONS Toxoplasma gondii seropositivity is associated with worse immediate and delayed verbal learning, language proficiency, executive functioning, processing speed, sustained attention, working memory, as well as global cognition in older adults. Public health measures aiming at preventing Toxoplasma gondii infection may help preserve cognitive functioning in older adults.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) in patients who have undergone thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke and to develop a nomogram chart model for predicting the occurrence of pneumonia. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke were enrolled from three hospitals at Taizhou Enze Medical Center. They were randomly divided into a training group and a validation group in a 7:3 ratio. The training group data was used to screen for effective predictive factors using LASSO regression. Multiple logistic regression was then conducted to determine the predictive factors and construct a nomogram chart. The model was evaluated using the validation group, analyzing its discrimination, calibration, and clinical decision curve. Finally, the newly constructed model was compared with the AIS-APS, A2DS2, ISAN, and PANTHERIS scores for acute ischemic stroke-associated pneumonia. Results Out of 913 patients who underwent thrombectomy, 762 were included for analysis, consisting of 473 males and 289 females. The incidence rate of SAP was 45.8%. The new predictive model was constructed based on three main influencing factors: NIHSS ≥16, postoperative LMR, and difficulty swallowing. The model demonstrated good discrimination and calibration. When applying the nomogram chart to threshold probabilities between 7 and 90%, net returns were increased. Furthermore, the AUC was higher compared to other scoring systems. Conclusion The constructed nomogram chart in this study outperformed the AIS-APS, A2DS2 score, ISAN score, and PANTHERIS score in predicting the risk of stroke-associated pneumonia in patients with acute ischemic stroke after thrombectomy. It can be utilized for clinical risk prediction of stroke-associated pneumonia in patients after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered a putative causal risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), the intrinsic link underlying T2DM and CAD is not fully understood. We aimed to highlight the importance of integrated care targeting both diseases by investigating the phenotypic and genetic relationships between T2DM and CAD. METHODS We evaluated phenotypic associations using data from the United Kingdom Biobank ( N = 472,050). We investigated genetic relationships by leveraging genomic data conducted in European ancestry for T2DM, with and without adjustment for body mass index (BMI) (T2DM: Ncase / Ncontrol = 74,124/824,006; T2DM adjusted for BMI [T2DM adj BMI]: Ncase / Ncontrol = 50,409/523,897) and for CAD ( Ncase / Ncontrol = 181,522/984,168). We performed additional analyses using genomic data conducted in multiancestry individuals for T2DM ( Ncase / Ncontrol = 180,834/1,159,055). RESULTS Observational analysis suggested a bidirectional relationship between T2DM and CAD (T2DM→CAD: hazard ratio [HR] = 2.12, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.01-2.24; CAD→T2DM: HR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.63-1.81). A positive overall genetic correlation between T2DM and CAD was observed ( rg = 0.39, P = 1.43 × 10 -75 ), which was largely independent of BMI (T2DM adj BMI-CAD: rg = 0.31, P = 1.20 × 10 -36 ). This was corroborated by six local signals, among which 9p21.3 showed the strongest genetic correlation. Cross-trait meta-analysis replicated 101 previously reported loci and discovered six novel pleiotropic loci. Mendelian randomization analysis supported a bidirectional causal relationship (T2DM→CAD: odds ratio [OR] = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.11-1.16; CAD→T2DM: OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.07-1.18), which was confirmed in multiancestry individuals (T2DM→CAD: OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.10-1.16; CAD→T2DM: OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13). This bidirectional relationship was significantly mediated by systolic blood pressure and intake of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, with mediation proportions of 54.1% (95% CI: 24.9-83.4%) and 90.4% (95% CI: 29.3-151.5%), respectively. CONCLUSION Our observational and genetic analyses demonstrated an intrinsic bidirectional relationship between T2DM and CAD and clarified the biological mechanisms underlying this relationship.

Abstract
Background Social support (SS) is an important factor influencing subjective well-being (SWB) in older adults. This is especially true for the special group of widowed older adults (WOA). Widowhood means that older adults have lost their most important SS, and therefore, the search for a guardian from outside the spouse becomes a central issue in ensuring the SWB of WOA. Methods The data for this paper were obtained from CGSS 2021, a large national social survey in China. We operationalized SWB as an individual's overall perception of his or her experience of happiness using 'affective well-being' (i.e., emphasizing an individual's positive affective experiences), and scores were calculated using a Likert scale. This study used linear regression modeling to examine the impact of SS on the SWB of WOA (aged 60 and above). Results It was found that, first, this study presents the role of different circles of SS on the SWB of WOA, fully highlighting the importance of social context. Specifically, daughters, neighbors, and relatives constitute the guardians of the SWB for WOA in rural, whereas daughters and friends constitute the guardians of the SWB for WOA in rural. Second, the protective resources provided by the guardians not only serve as a buffer for WOA in distress but also reduce the likelihood of negative events occurring, thereby increasing WOA's SWB. Discussion This paper partially corroborates the findings of established studies on the topic of SS and SWB among older adults and the above findings not only help us to further explain the relationship between SS and SWB theoretically but also help us to rationalize the construction of SS for WOA practically.

Abstract
Low temperatures occurring at the booting stage in rice (Oryza sativa L.) often result in yield loss by impeding male reproductive development. However, the underlying mechanisms by which rice responds to cold at this stage remain largely unknown. Here, we identified MITOCHONDRIAL ACYL CARRIER PROTEIN 2 (OsMTACP2), the encoded protein of which mediates lipid metabolism involved in the cold response at the booting stage. Loss of OsMTACP2 function compromised cold tolerance, hindering anther cuticle and pollen wall development, resulting in abnormal anther morphology, lower pollen fertility and seed setting. OsMTACP2 was highly expressed in tapetal cells and microspores during anther development, with the encoded protein localizing to both mitochondria and the cytoplasm. Comparative transcriptomic analysis revealed differential expression of genes related to lipid metabolism between the wild type and the Osmtacp2-1 mutant in response to cold. Through a lipidomic analysis, we demonstrated that wax esters, which are the primary lipid components of the anther cuticle and pollen walls, function as cold-responsive lipids. Their levels increased dramatically in the wild type but not in Osmtacp2-1 when exposed to cold. Additionally, mutants of two cold induced genes of wax ester biosynthesis, ECERIFERUM1 and WAX CRYSTAL-SPARSE LEAF2, showed decreased cold tolerance. These results suggest that OsMTACP2-mediated wax ester biosynthesis is essential for cold tolerance in rice at the booting stage.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a multifaceted and persistent inflammatory condition, significantly contributes to the progression of cardiocerebrovascular disorders, such as myocardial infarctions and cerebrovascular accidents. It involves the accumulation of cholesterol, fatty deposits, calcium and cellular debris in the walls of arteries, leading to the formation of plaques. Our aim is to investigate the potential of sinomenine to counteract atherosclerosis in mice lacking Apolipoprotein E (ApoE-/-) Mice. We employed the high-fat diet-induced method to induce atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice, and the mice were treated with sinomenine (5, 10, and 15 mg/kg) and simvastatin (0.5 mg/kg) for 12 weeks. Body weight, water intake, and food intake were assessed. Lipid parameters, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and mRNA levels were estimated. Sinomenine treatment remarkably (P < 0.001) suppressed body weight, along with food and water intake. Sinomenine altered the levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), which were modulated in the atherosclerosis group. Sinomenine treatment also altered the levels of oxidative stress parameters such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH). In addition, it modulated cardiac parameters like C-reactive protein (CRP), endothelin-1 (ET-1), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), nitric oxide (NO), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatinine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB). Inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 were also affected. Sinomenine further suppressed the mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-17, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Il-1β, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), MCP-2, MCP-3, transforming Growth Factor-1β (TGF-1β), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). The results suggest that sinomenine remarkably suppressed the development of atherosclerosis in the early stage.

Abstract
Background Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) has a high incidence rate and unresolved clinical symptoms. Although Hand Yangming Meridian Penetrating Acupuncture has been used to treat thyroid diseases in China, there is no randomized controlled trial (RCT) on HT. Methods This exploratory RCT aims to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of Hand Yangming Meridian Penetrating Acupuncture in the treatment of HT. Included subjects were randomly assigned to the acupuncture group and the waiting treatment group at a ratio of 1:1. Subjects in the acupuncture group received 16 weeks of acupuncture treatment, followed by a 16-week follow-up observation phase. Subjects in the waiting group received thyroxine supplementation for 16 weeks, followed by 16 weeks of compensation treatment. Serum thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOab) and thyroglobulin antibody (TGab) levels were the main indicators, and Thyroid-Related Patient-Reported Outcome short form (ThyPRO-39), MOS Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores were also recorded. Results In total, 58 subjects were included. After 16 weeks of treatment, there was no statistical difference in the changes in TPOab levels between the two groups, but the TGab level in the acupuncture group was significantly lower than in the waiting group (difference: -141.97 [95 % CI: -222.4 to -61.5], P = 0.011). Moreover, the total ThyPRO-39 and SF-36 scores were statistically different between the two groups (PThyPRO-39 < 0.001, PSF-36 = 0.005). There was no statistical difference in HADS between the two groups. Conclusions Hand Yangming Meridian Penetrating Acupuncture may be safe and feasible for HT hypothyroidism to improve symptoms and reduce TGab levels. Trial registration number This trial was registered at Acupuncture-Moxibustion Clinical Trial Registry: AMCTR-IOR-19000308 (ChiCTR1900026830, https://www.chictr.org.cn/searchprojEN.html).

Abstract
BACKGROUND To review the incidence and extent of peri-electrode edema after DBS and to clarify the effect of postoperative use of steroids on the peri-electrode edema. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 250 patients who underwent bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS surgery with intact MRI within 1 month after DBS surgery. Patients were divided into steroid and non-steroid groups, based on postoperative steroids use. The occurrence and extent of peri-electrode edema were compared between the two groups, and other associated factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate methods. RESULTS Peri-electrode edema >1 cm3 in at least one hemisphere was reported in 215 (86.00%) patients. The mean volume of peri-electrode edema observed in the steroid group was significantly smaller than in the non-steroid group (8.09 ± 8.47 cm3 vs 17.10 ± 16.90 cm3 , p < 0.001). In the steroid group, 104 (32.91%) of the 316 implanted electrodes present with edema less than 1 cm3 , whereas in the non-steroid group, only 27 (14.67%) of the 184 implanted electrodes present with edema less than 1 cm3 (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that lesser peri-electrode edema was significantly associated with postoperative steroids use and general anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS Peri-electrode edema is common after DBS surgery, and postoperative steroids use reduces the occurrence and extent of peri-electrode edema.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES We explored whether declarative memory consolidation is impaired in children with rapid eye movement sleep-related obstructive sleep apnea (REM-OSA) and investigated the correlation between memory consolidation and sleep-related respiratory parameters. METHODS Participants were children with habitual snoring aged 6-14 years and control children. Participants underwent polysomnography and declarative memory testing. Participants with snoring were categorized as primary snoring (PS), non-rapid eye movement sleep-related obstructive sleep apnea (NREM-OSA), stage-independent (SI)-OSA, and REM-OSA according to obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI), OAHI in REM sleep (OAHIREM), and OAHI in NREM sleep (OAHINREM). Declarative memory consolidation level was assessed by recall and recognition rates. RESULTS There were 34 controls and 228 children with sleep-disordered breathing: 73 PS, 48 NREM-OSA, 59 SI-OSA, and 48 REM-OSA. Total arousal index was lower in the REM-OSA group than in the NREM-OSA group. In all groups, retest scores were higher than immediate test scores. Recall consolidation in PS, SI-OSA, and REM-OSA groups was lower than for controls and lower in REM-OSA than in NREM-OSA. There were no correlations between recall consolidation or recognition consolidation and OAHI, OAHINREM, oxygen desaturation index in REM sleep, total arousal index, or REM sleep percent. Recognition consolidation was negatively correlated with OAHIREM. CONCLUSIONS Memory consolidation is impaired in children with REM-OSA compared with NREM-OSA and controls. There was no significant correlation between memory consolidation and OAHI, and recognition consolidation was negatively correlated with OAHIREM. It is important to pay attention to the OSA subtype in children. CITATION Tang Y, Yang C, Wang C, Wu Y, Xu Z, Ni X.

Abstract
Biochar could promote humification in composting, nevertheless, its mechanism has not been fully explored from the perspective of the overall bacterial community and its metabolism. This study investigated the effects of bamboo charcoal (BC) and wheat straw biochar (WSB) on the humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) contents during pig manure composting. The results showed that BC enhanced humification more than WSB, and significantly increased the HA content and HA/FA ratio. The bacterial community structure under BC differed from those under the other treatments, and BC increased the abundance of bacteria associated with the transformation of organic matter compared with the other treatments. Furthermore, biochar enhanced the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids in the thermophilic and cooling phases, especially BC. Through Mantel tests and network analysis, we found that HA was mainly related to carbon source metabolism and the bacterial community, and BC might change the interaction patterns among carbohydrates, amino acid metabolism, Bacillales, Clostridiales, and Lactobacillales with HA and FA to improve the humification process during composting. These results are important for understanding the mechanisms associated with the effects of biochar on humification during composting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nutritional support is potentially considered an essential step to prevent muscle loss and enhance physical function in older adults. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the role of potential nutritional strategies, i.e., fish oil-derived ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), wheat oligopeptide and their combined intervention, in preventing and reversing sarcopenia in aging process. METHODS One hundred 25-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 10 groups, and 10 newly purchased 6-month-old rats were included in young control group (n = 10). Fish oil (200, 400 or 800 mg/kg body weight), wheat oligopeptide (100, 200 or 400 mg/kg body weight), fish oil + wheat oligopeptide (800 + 100, 400 + 200 or 200 + 400 mg/kg body weight) or the equal volume of solvent were administered daily by gavage for 10 weeks. The effects of these interventions on natural aging rats were evaluated. RESULTS All intervention groups had a significant increase in muscle mass and grip strength and reduction in perirenal fat weight when compared to the aged control group (P < 0.05). The results of biochemical parameters, magnetic resonance imaging, proteomics and western blot suggested that the combination of wheat oligopeptide and fish oil-derived ω-3 PUFA, especially group WFM 2 (400 + 200 mg/kg body weight fish oil + wheat oligopeptide), was found to be more effective against aging-associated muscle loss than single intervention. Additionally, the interventions ameliorated fatty infiltration, muscle atrophy, and congestion in the intercellular matrix, and inflammatory cell infiltration in muscle tissue. The interventions also improved oxidative stress, anabolism, hormone levels, and inflammatory levels of skeletal muscle. CONCLUSIONS The combination of fish oil-derived ω-3 PUFA and wheat oligopeptide was found to be a promising nutritional support to prevent and reverse sarcopenia. The potential mechanism involved the promotion of protein synthesis and muscle regeneration, as well as the enhancement of muscle strength.

Abstract
Brassica napus, commonly known as rapeseed or canola, is a major oil crop contributing over 13% to the stable supply of edible vegetable oil worldwide. Identification and understanding the gene functions in the B. napus genome is crucial for genomic breeding. A group of genes controlling agronomic traits have been successfully cloned through functional genomics studies in B. napus. In this review, we present an overview of the progress made in the functional genomics of B. napus, including the availability of germplasm resources, omics databases and cloned functional genes. Based on the current progress, we also highlight the main challenges and perspectives in this field. The advances in the functional genomics of B. napus contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis underlying the complex agronomic traits in B. napus and will expedite the breeding of high quality, high resistance and high yield in B. napus varieties.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the effects of a group-based multicomponent exercise program on general cognitive functioning, depression, and social functioning in community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and whether the effects can be maintained. METHOD Fifty older adults with MCI were conveniently recruited from two communities in the study area and randomly assigned to the intervention group or control group. The intervention group received three sessions of 60-minute, multicomponent exercise per week for 3 months, plus MCI-related health education. The control group only received MCI-related health education. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Beijing Version (MoCA-BJ) were used to assess general cognitive function. The Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) were used to evaluate participants' social function and depression, respectively. Participants' exercise intensity was assessed using the Category Ratio Scale. RESULTS After the 3-month intervention, there were significant improvements in general cognitive function (p = 0.046), attention (p = 0.009), delayed recall (p = 0.015), and social function (p = 0.011) in the intervention group compared with the control group. However, after 3-month postintervention follow up, no significant differences in MMSE, MoCA-BJ, GDS-30, and FAQ scores were noted between groups. CONCLUSION The 3-month multicomponent exercise program improved general cognitive function and social functioning in community-dwelling older adults with MCI. However, there was no evidence that these benefits lasted for another 3 months after stopping the exercise program. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 17(2), 65-79.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND While the association between depression and hypertension has been extensively investigated, the pattern and nature of such association remain inconclusive. We sought to investigate the bidirectional relationship between depression and hypertension and its causal. METHODS We first performed observational analyses using longitudinal data from the UK Biobank. We then performed genetic analyses leveraging summary statistics from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) conducted in European ancestry for depression and hypertension. RESULTS Observational analysis suggested a significant bidirectional phenotypic association between depression and hypertension (Depression → Hypertension: HR = 1.27, 95 % CI: 1.19, 1.36; Hypertension → Depression: HR = 1.65, 95 % CI: 1.58, 1.72). Linkage disequilibrium score regression demonstrated a positive genetic correlation between the two conditions (rg=0.15, P = 5.75 × 10-10). Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) suggested that genetic liability to depression was significantly associated with an increased risk of hypertension (OR = 1.27, 95 % CI: 1.12, 1.43), while the genetic liability to hypertension was not associated with the risk of depression (OR = 1.01, 95 % CI: 0.99, 1.03). Multivariate MR, after adjusting for smoking, drinking, and body mass index, further supported an independent causal effect of genetic liability to depression on hypertension risk (OR = 1.10, 95 % CI: 1.02, 1.18). LIMITATIONS (1) interference of confounders, (2) absence of adequate statistical power, and (3) limitation to European populations. CONCLUSION Our study indicates depression is a causal risk factor for hypertension, whereas the reverse maybe not. Findings support that prevention of depression might help in decreasing hypertension incidence.
