Abstract
AIMS Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) grows slowly and is characterised by potential recurrence and metastasis to distant organs. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for locoregional recurrence (LRR) and distant metastasis in patients with ACC of the external auditory canal (EAC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Demographic, pathological, therapeutic and survival data of 143 patients with EAC ACC were reviewed in this study. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were carried out to determine the risk factors for LRR and distant metastasis. Factors associated with overall survival after LRR and distant metastasis were also analysed. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 49 months, 31 of 143 patients were observed with LRR and 34 developed distant metastasis. Bone invasion and histological subtype were independent risk factors for locoregional recurrence-free survival. T stage and LRR were independent risk factors for distant metastasis-free survival. Salvage surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for LRR resulted in better survival, whereas extrapulmonary metastasis and LRR were associated with a higher risk of poor survival after distant metastasis. CONCLUSION Patients with distant metastases, especially those with LRR, are at significant risk of poor prognosis. Our findings emphasise the importance of long-term regular follow-up and recommend surgical intervention with radiotherapy for recurrent EAC ACC.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Costunolide (Cos) is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone that exhibits antioxidative properties. In this study, we demonstrate the protective mechanism of Cos against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial injury. Cos significantly decreased levels of reactive oxygen species and ameliorated apoptosis of I/R cardiomyocytes both in vitro and in vivo. Further investigation revealed that Cos increased expression of the antioxidant proteins HO-1 and NQO-1 and decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, thus protecting cardiac cells. NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) silencing significantly attenuated the protective effects of Cos in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-treated H9C2 cells. Additionally, Cos significantly intensified the I/R- or TBHP-induced dissociation of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/Nrf2 complex both in vitro and in vivo. These results suggest that activation of Nrf2/Keap1 using Cos may be a therapeutic strategy for myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
Objective: To establish correction model of the sampling time error on the blood trough concentration of tacrolimus in non-sustained-release dosage form for renal transplant recipient and improve the accuracy of drug dose assessment and clinical adjustment in renal transplant recipients. Methods: Visit records of 206 outpatients in the Department of Transplantation, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were retrospectively collected from October 15, 2022 to October 30, 2022. The distribution of sampling time of tacrolimus blood drug concentration was described and the time range of correction was determined. Twenty inpatients after renal transplantation in the Department of Transplantation, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from October 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022 were prospectively included, and their demography data, laboratory test results during follow-ups, and CYP3A5 genotype were collected. The patients took tacrolimus in non-sustained-release dosage form every 12 h starting from 19∶30 on the day of admission. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients on the second day of admission at 7∶30 and on the third day at 6∶00-10∶00 every 30 minutes to test the blood concentration of tacrolimus. Using the collection time as the independent variable and the blood tacrolimus concentration as the dependent variable, a simple linear regression was performed to fitting a linear model of tacrolimus blood concentration-sampling time. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of the tacrolimus metabolic rate within a specific period and generate the regression equation. Results: The 206 outpatients aged (46±13) years, including 131 males (63.6%). The time gap [M (Q1, Q3)] between the sampling time of the follow-up outpatients and standard C12 was 24 (13.0, 46.5) min, and the maximum time gap was 135 min. The 20 enrolled inpatients aged (45±12) years, including 15 males (75.0%). There was no significant difference in the blood concentration of tacrolimus collected at 7∶30 on the second (7.87±2.21)ng/ml and third days (7.84±2.33)ng/ml after admission of the enrolled inpatients (P=0.917), and the blood tacrolimus concentration rhythm was stable in the trial. The plasma concentration of C10.5-C14.5 was linearly related to the time, with R2 [M (Q1, Q3)] 0.88 (0.85, 0.92) and all P<0.05. The metabolic rate of tacrolimus during C10.5-C14.5=0.984+0.090×basic concentration of tacrolimus (ng/ml)-0.036×body mass index+0.489×CYP3A5 genotype-0.007×hemolobin(g/L)-0.035×alanine aminotransferase (U/L)+0.143×total cholesterol (mmol/L)+0.027×total bilirubin (μmol/L), with R2=0.85. Conclusion: This study propose a correction model for tacrolimus (non-sustained-release dosage form) trough concentration around C12, which is helpful for clinicians to easily and accurately assess renal transplant recipients' tacrolimus exposure.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a major contributor to a variety of negative clinical outcomes, including stroke and myocardial infarction. However, the role and therapeutic value of hypoxia-related genes in AS development has been less discussed. In this study, Plasminogen activator, urokinase receptor (PLAUR) was identified as an effective diagnostic marker for AS lesion progression by combining WGCNA and random forest algorithm. We validated the stability of the diagnostic value on multiple external datasets including humans and mice. We identified a significant correlation between PLAUR expression and lesion progression. We mined multiple single cell-RNA sequencing (sc-RNA seq) data to nominate macrophage as the key cell cluster for PLAUR mediated lesion progression. We combined cross-validation results from multiple databases to predict that HCG17-hsa-miR-424-5p-HIF1A, a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, may regulate hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) expression. The DrugMatrix database was used to predict alprazolam, valsartan, biotin A, lignocaine, and curcumin as potential drugs to delay lesion progression by antagonizing PLAUR, and AutoDock was used to verify the binding ability of drugs and PLAUR. Overall, this study provides the first systematic identification of the diagnostic and therapeutic value of PLAUR in AS and offers multiple treatment options with potential applications.

Abstract
To explore the role of autophagy-related differential long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in the pathogenesis of melanoma, we established a prognostic prediction model for patients with melanoma based on the expression profiles of autophagy-related gene. Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas and GeneCard database, we used single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA), weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), uniCOX in R software for COX proportional hazard regression analysis, and enrichment analysis to get an idea of biological processes with autophagy-related genes, which evaluates the relationship between autophagy-related genes and immune cell infiltration in patients with melanoma. The roles of identified lncRNA were evaluated by the risk score based on the results of single factor regression analysis for each lncRNA and on the prognosis for patients obtained from the database. Then, the whole sample was divided into high- and low-risk groups. Survival curve analysis showed that low-risk group had a better prognosis. Enrichment analysis revealed multiple key pathways enriched with lncRNA-associated genes. Analysis of immune cell infiltration revealed differences between high- and low-risk groups. Finally, 3 datasets verified the effect of our model on prognosis. There are important autophagy-related lncRNA in patients with melanoma. Top 6 lncRNA are significantly related to the overall survival rate of patients with melanoma and provide the basis for predicting the prognostic survival of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a common risk factor for heart failure, and excessive angiotensin II (Ang II) leads to hypertensive cardiac alterations such as hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis, remodeling, and dysfunction. Leonurine is the major active alkaloid compound obtained from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Leonurus japonicus Houtt. The effects of leonurine on Ang II-induced hypertensive cardiac injury remain unknown. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE In the present study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of leonurine in Ang II-infused mice and explored the underlying mechanisms in cardiomyocytes. METHODS Cardiac injury was induced by Ang II infusion in experimental mice with or without leonurine (at 10 or 20 mg/kg) treatment. H9c2 cells and neonatal rat primary cardiomyocytes were used to investigate the mechanisms through which leonurine exerts its protection effects. RESULTS The results showed that leonurine significantly alleviated Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and inflammation in both mice and cultured cardiomyocytes. Echocardiography revealed that leonurine preserved cardiac function in mice. Further investigations revealed that leonurine inhibited the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways to reduce inflammatory response and injuries in Ang II-challenged cardiomyocytes. Inhibition of MAPKs and NF-κB in cardiomyocytes abolished the anti-inflammatory effects of leonurine. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides evidence that leonurine exerts protective effects against Ang II-induced hypertensive cardiac remodeling and dysfunction by inhibiting the MAPK and NF-κB pathways. Leonurine may be a promising agent for treating hypertensive heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiac inflammation contribute to pathological cardiac remodeling and hypertensive heart failure (HF). Tabersonine (Tab) is an indole alkaloid mainly isolated from Catharanthus roseus and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in various systems. However, the role of Tab in hypertensive HF and its molecular targets remains unknown. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE We aimed to investigate potential cardioprotective effects and mechanism of Tab against Ang II-induced cardiac injuries. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were administered Ang II (at 1000 ng/kg/min) by micro-osmotic pump infusion for 30 days to develop hypertensive HF. Tab at 20 and 40 mg/kg/day was administered during the last 2 weeks to elucidate the cardioprotective properties. Cultured cardiomyocyte-like H9c2 cells and rat primary cardiomyocytes were used for mechanistic studies of Tab. RESULTS We demonstrate for the first time that Tab provides protection against Ang II-induced cardiac dysfunction in mice, associated with reduced cardiac inflammation and fibrosis. Mechanistically, we show that Tab may interacts with TAK1 to inhibit Ang II-induced TAK1 ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Disruption of TAK1 activation by Tab blocked downstream NF-κB and JNK/P38 MAPK signaling activation and decreased cardiac inflammation and fibrosis both in vitro and in vivo. TAK1 knockdown also blocked Ang II-induced cardiomyocytes injuries and prevented the innately pharmacological effects of Tab. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that Tab protects hearts against Ang II-mediated injuries through targeting TAK1 and inhibiting TAK1-mediated inflammatory cascade and response. Thus, Tab may be a potential therapeutic candidate for hypertensive HF.

Abstract
In this study, a series of Co nanoparticles (NPs) with different sizes and Co single-atom catalysts (SACs) with different cobalt-nitrogen coordination numbers (Co-N2, Co-N3, and Co-N4) were synthesized and applied to the synthesis of ammonia catalyzed by plasma at low temperatures and atmospheric pressures. Under the same reaction conditions, the yield of nitrogen obtained from the reduction to ammonia over a series of Co NP catalysts varies with the Co particle size. The smaller the size of the Co NPs, the greater the number of exposed active centers, and the catalytic activity is higher. Among the Co SACs, the best catalyst was Co-N2 with two coordinated nitrogen atoms, and the ammonia yield was 181 mg·h-1·gcat-1. The experimental and theoretical calculations were consistent in that a low Co-N coordination number was beneficial to the adsorption and dissociation of N2, thereby enhancing the reduction activity of N2 and promoting the increase of ammonia production.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What are the other male factors that cause total fertilization failure (TFF) excepting for variants in PLCZ1?
Summary answer
Homozygous variants in ACTL9 (actin like 9) cause abnormal localization of PLCζ in a loosened perinuclear theca (PT) structure and leads to TFF.
What is known already
In previous studies, investigators have reported that the female factors in TFF after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) include pathogenic variants in WEE2, TLE6, and TUBB8, whereas for male factors, pathogenic variants in PLCZ1 were reported to be the primary cause of TFF, which account for approximately 30% of couples with male factors in TFF excluding globozoospermia. Most recently, it was reported that pathogenic variants in ACTL7A led to reduced expression and abnormal localization of PLCζ, thereby identifying this genetic variant as a potential cause of TFF.
Study design, size, duration
Fifty-four infertile couples with TFF or poor fertilization (fertilization rate of < 20%) at the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya during January 2014 to June 2020 were recruited into this study.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Male factors were identified in (MOAT). WES analysis was used to analyze the genetic factors of individuals with male factors. Sperm morphological study was conducted by H&E staining and TEM. Immunostaining of PLCζ was used to analyze the status of sperm-borne activation factor. A knock-in mouse model was generated by CRISPER-Cas9 technology. Sperm from homozygous Actl9 variant mice were analyzed by TEM and ICSI. ICSI with AOA was performed in couples with ACTL9 variants.
Main results and the role of chance
A total of 54 couples with TFF or poor fertilization were screened, with 21 couples determined to have a male infertility factor by MOAT. Whole-exome sequencing of these 21 male individuals identified three homozygous pathogenic variants in ACTL9 in three individuals. ACTL9 variations led to abnormal ultrastructure of the PT, with PLCζ absent in the head and present in the neck of the mutant sperm, which contributed to failed normal calcium oscillations in oocytes and subsequent TFF. The key roles of ACTL9 in the PT structure and TFF after ICSI were further confirmed in Actl9-mutated mouse model. Furthermore, assisted oocyte activation by calcium ionophore exposure successfully overcame TFF and achieved live births in a couple with an ACTL9 variant.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The mechanism of how ACTL9 regulate PLCζ remains unknown.
Wider implications of the findings: It provided a genetic marker and a therapeutic option for individuals who have undergone ICSI without successful fertilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) with lumen-apposing metallic stents (LAMS) in patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) has proven to be an alternative to luminal stenting in the duodenum and surgical gastroenterostomy. In severely ill patients, the method can provide improved quality of life (QoL) and symptom relief by restoration of the luminal passage of fluid and nutrients to the small intestine. AIM To assess the technical and clinical success and safety of EUS-GE. MATERIAL AND METHODS A dual center retrospective case series of 33 consecutive patients with GOO due to malignant (n = 28) or non-malignant conditions (n = 5). The patients were treated with EUS-GE using cautery enhanced LAMS. Procedures were performed guided by EUS and fluoroscopy in general anesthesia or conscious sedation. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in all patients. The median procedure time was 71 min and the median hospital stay was three days. Thirty (91%) patients were able to resume oral nutrition after the procedure. Ten patients (30%) experienced adverse events (AEs), including migration of the stent, bleeding, and infection. Four patients had fatal AEs (12%). All stent-related AEs were handled endoscopically. Five patients (15%) needed re-intervention. The median survival time for patients with malignant obstruction was 8.5 weeks (0.5-76), and 13 patients with obstructing malignancies lived 12 weeks or longer. CONCLUSION EUS-GE is a minimally invasive and efficient method for restoration of the gastrointestinal passage and may improve palliative care for patients with GOO. The method has potential hazards and should only be offered in expert centers that regularly perform the procedure.

Abstract
The minimized diffusion limitation and completely exposed strong acid sites of the ultrathin zeolites make it an industrially important catalyst especially for converting bulky molecules. However, the structure-controlled and large-scale synthesis of the material is still a challenge. In this work, the direct synthesis of the single-layer MWW zeolite was demonstrated by using hexamethyleneimine and amphiphilic organosilane as structure-directing agents. Characterization results confirmed the formation of the single-layer MWW zeolite with high crystallinity and excellent thermal/hydrothermal stability. The formation mechanism was rigorously revealed as the balanced rates between the nucleation/growth of the MWW nanocrystals and the incorporation of the organosilane into the MWW unit cell, which is further supported by the formation of MWW nanosheets with tunable thickness via simply changing synthesis conditions. The commercially available reagents, well-controlled structure and the high catalytic stability for the alkylation of benzene with 1-dodecene make it an industrially important catalyst.

Abstract
Spectroscopic diagnostics of future fusion reactor plasmas require information on impurity line emissions, especially for relevant high-Z metal elements (e.g., tungsten). These materials will be widely used as plasma facing components for their high heat tolerance and low sputtering yield. Based on an electron beam ion trap, a compact impurity spectra platform is developed to mimic the high-temperature environment of a fusion reactor. The proposed platform can deliver a focused e-beam at energies over 30 keV using a confining magnetic field of ∼1.0 T generated by two superconducting coils (NbTi). Cooled by a closed-loop cryocooler, the coils can avoid the usage of a complicated cryogenic system involving the handling of liquid helium. For spectroscopic studies of highly charged ions, a spherically curved crystal spectrometer is proposed to measure a wavelength range around 2-4 Å covering the typical wavelength range expected to be emitted by metal ions in a fusion plasma. This paper reports the design and development progress of the platform.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vascular inflammation and injury entails endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Recent studies have shown that Ang II engages toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the vasculature to mediate adverse effects. Here, we aimed to investigate whether myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2), an extracellular molecule indispensable for TLR4 activation, mediates Ang II-induced vascular injury and EndMT. We utilized MD2 knockout mice and wildtype mice treated with a specific MD2 inhibitor to decipher its role in aortas of Ang II-challenged mice. To confirm our results and to provide mechanistic insights, we exposed cultured endothelial cells to Ang II, with or without MD2 silencing. We show that Ang II causes deleterious remodeling and EndMT in aortas of mice within two weeks. These Ang II effects were largely absent in MD2 knockout mice and in wildtype mice treated with a MD2 inhibitor. MD2 silencing in cultured endothelial cells confirmed the essential role of MD2 in Ang II-induced inflammatory factor induction, and EndMT-associated phenotypic change. We also found that Ang II-MD2-EndMT axis involves the activation of nuclear factor-κB. Our studies highlight an essential role of MD2 in Ang II-induced vascular inflammation and EndMT contributing to vascular injury. These results also imply that MD2 may be targeted to dampen inflammatory cardiovascular and EndMT-associated diseases.

Abstract
Vascular remodeling is a pertinent target for cardiovascular therapy. Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) dysfunction plays a key role in vascular remodeling. Myeloid differentiation 2 (MD2), a cofactor of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), is involved in atherosclerotic progress and cardiac remodeling via activation of chronic inflammation. In this study, we explored the role of MD2 in vascular remodeling using an Ang II-induced mouse model and cultured human aortic VSMCs. MD2 deficiency suppressed Ang II-induced vascular fibrosis and phenotypic switching of VSMCs without affecting blood pressure in mice. Mechanistically, MD2 deficiency prevented Ang II-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in mice and cultured VSMCs. Furthermore, MD2 deficiency reversed Ang II-activated MAPK signaling and Ang II-downregulated SIRT1 expression. Taken together, MD2 plays a significant role in Ang II-induced vascular oxidative stress, inflammation, and remodeling, indicating that MD2 is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of vascular remodeling-related cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
This study explored an integrated framework to assess the effectiveness of adaptation measures on the water productivity (WP) of the agricultural water management (AWM) system in the Huai river basin of China considering climate change impact. The adaptation measures include optimization of cropping pattern (OCP) and upgradation of irrigation techniques (UIT). The delta change method was used to downscale the climate variables from RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 of general circulation models (GCMs) during 2021-2050, the water footprint theory was used to estimate the spatial distribution of blue water to calculate the WP, and the nonlinear optimization model was used to seek optimal cropping pattern aiming at maximizing the system's WP. The changes in WP due to climate change and adaptation measures (e.g. combinations of OCP and UIT) were compared. Results indicated that WP under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 would be 4.56% and 6.51% lower than those under the benchmark scenario, respectively. The mitigation rates to the negative impact of climate change on WP under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 would be (1) 3.05% and 3.37% for the combination of spay irrigation technique and OCP, and (2) 4.34% and 4.59% for the combination of drip irrigation technique and OCP, respectively. It was revealed that the combination of drip irrigation and cropping pattern optimization could largely offset the adverse effect from climate change on WP under RCP4.5. Under such a scenario, the total plant areas of wheat and maize would reduce over the basin and so would the net export of crops in the basin; this would lead to a decrease in the crop trade benefit of 7.07 × 109 $ and a relief of 7.50 × 109 m3 of blue water loss. This study results could offer strategic decision support for long-term sustainable AWM of Huai river basin in a changing environment.

Abstract
Topological structures based on controllable ferroelectric or ferromagnetic domain configurations offer the opportunity to develop microelectronic devices such as high-density memories. Despite the increasing experimental and theoretical insights into various domain structures (such as polar spirals, polar wave, polar vortex) over the past decade, manipulating the topological transformations of polar structures and comprehensively understanding its underlying mechanism remains lacking. By conducting an in-situ non-contact bias technique, here we systematically investigate the real-time topological transformations of polar structures in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 multilayers at an atomic level. The procedure of vortex pair splitting and the transformation from polar vortex to polar wave and out-of-plane polarization are observed step by step. Furthermore, the redistribution of charge in various topological structures has been demonstrated under an external bias. This provides new insights for the symbiosis of polar and charge and offers an opportunity for a new generation of microelectronic devices. Direct observation of the dynamic evolution of polar domain structures at atomic level remains challenging. Here, the authors report the observation of real-time topological transformations of polar structures in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 multilayers.

Abstract
Stimulation with ultrafast light pulses can realize and manipulate states of matter with emergent structural, electronic and magnetic phenomena. However, these non-equilibrium phases are often transient and the challenge is to stabilize them as persistent states. Here, we show that atomic-scale PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices, counterpoising strain and polarization states in alternate layers, are converted by sub-picosecond optical pulses to a supercrystal phase. This phase persists indefinitely under ambient conditions, has not been created via equilibrium routes, and can be erased by heating. X-ray scattering and microscopy show this unusual phase consists of a coherent three-dimensional structure with polar, strain and charge-ordering periodicities of up to 30 nm. By adjusting only dielectric properties, the phase-field model describes this emergent phase as a photo-induced charge-stabilized supercrystal formed from a two-phase equilibrium state. Our results demonstrate opportunities for light-activated pathways to thermally inaccessible and emergent metastable states.

Abstract
The capability to directly interrogate intracellular structures inside a single cell for measurement and manipulation is important for understanding subcellular and suborganelle activities, diagnosing diseases, and developing new therapeutic approaches. Compared with measurements of single cells, physical measurement and manipulation of subcellular structures and organelles remain underexplored. To improve intracellular physical measurement and manipulation, we have developed a multipole magnetic tweezers system for micromanipulation involving submicrometer position control and piconewton force control of a submicrometer magnetic bead inside a single cell for measurement in different locations (spatial) and different time points (temporal). The bead was three-dimensionally positioned in the cell using a generalized predictive controller that addresses the control challenge caused by the low bandwidth of visual feedback from high-resolution confocal imaging. The average positioning error was quantified to be 0.4 μm, slightly larger than the Brownian motion–imposed constraint (0.31 μm). The system is also capable of applying a force up to 60 pN with a resolution of 4 pN for a period of time longer than 30 min. The measurement results revealed that significantly higher stiffness exists in the nucleus’ major axis than in the minor axis. This stiffness polarity is likely attributed to the aligned actin filament. We also showed that the nucleus stiffens upon the application of an intracellularly applied force, which can be attributed to the response of structural protein lamin A/C and the intracellular stress fiber actin filaments.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the ultrasound presentation of the brain and cerebral hemodynamics in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) by comparison with control subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS During June 2012 to April 2013, full term neonates who had clinical evidence of HIE were enrolled. Healthy newborns without HIE were used as a control group. Cerebral parenchyma, size of lateral ventricles and hemodynamic parameters of cerebral arteries were studied using two-dimensional duplex and color Doppler ultrasound. Neonates with moderate and severe HIE were followed-up with ultrasound for at least 3 months. RESULTS A total of 158 consecutive neonates (82 boys and 76 girls), including 54 with mild HIE, 60 with moderate HIE and 44 with severe HIE were included. One hundred and twenty healthy newborns were randomly selected as a control group. Abnormal ultrasound findings of brain parenchyma were found in 25/54 (46.3%) neonates with mild HIE whereas they were found in 58/60 (96.7%) neonates with moderate HIE and 44/44 (100%) neonates with severe HIE. Almost all neonates with severe HIE had decreased cerebral artery blood flow velocity and increased resistance index of cerebral arteries. Of the 104 neonates with moderate or severe HIE, follow-up ultrasound examination revealed cystic parenchymal lesions in 12/104 (11.5%), progressive ventricular dilatation and brain atrophy in 12/104 (11.5%), mild ventricular dilatation in 15/104 (14.4%) and leukoencephalomalacia in 2/104 (1.9%) neonates. CONCLUSION Ultrasound features such as the size of lateral ventricles, altered brain parenchymal echogenicity and cerebral blood flow parameters are useful for the early diagnosis of HIE and help predict outcome.

Abstract
Inspired by the vesicular structure of alveolus which has a porous nanovesicle structure facilitating the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, we designed a hollow nanovesicle assembly with metal-encapsulated hollow zeolite that would enhance diffusion of reactants/products and inhibit sintering and leaching of active metals. This zeolitic nanovesicle has been successfully synthesized by a strategy which involves a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of hollow assembly of metal-containing solid zeolite crystals without a structural template and a selective desilication-recrystallization accompanied by leaching-hydrolysis to convert the metal-containing solid crystals into metal-encapsulated hollow crystals. We demonstrate the strategy in synthesizing a hollow nanovesicle assembly of Fe2O3-encapsulated hollow crystals of ZSM-5 zeolite. This material possesses a microporous (0.4-0.6 nm) wall of hollow crystals and a mesoporous (5-17 nm) shell of nanovesicle with macropores (about 350 nm) in the core. This hierarchical structure enables excellent Fe2O3 dispersion (3-4 nm) and resistance to sintering even at 800 °C; facilitates the transport of reactant/products; and exhibits superior activity and resistance to leaching in phenol degradation. Hollow nanovesicle assembly of Fe-Pt bimetal-encapsulated hollow ZSM-5 crystals was also prepared.
