Abstract
The feeding rhythm is one of the key factors determining the success of artificial breeding of S. paramamosain. To understand the feeding rhythm of the different zoea larva developmental stages of S. paramamosain, the feeding rate, digestive enzyme activity, and expression of metabolism-related genes were investigated in the present study. The results showed that the S. paramamosain feeding rate has strong diurnal feeding rhythm, being significantly higher at 10:00-14:00 from stages ZI to ZIV. While the feeding rate peaked at 14:00 on Days 10 and 11, the peak shifted to 18:00 on Day 12. The activity of digestive enzymes amylase, pepsin and lipase decreased at night but increased in the daytime, showing a single-phase rhythm similar to that of the feeding rate, suggesting that the digestive enzyme activity was closely associated with the feeding rate during the larval development. Compared to pepsin and lipase, the activity of amylase was the most consistent with feeding rate. In particular, amylase activity peaked at 18:00 on Day 12. Due to its synchronicity with feeding activity, the activity of amylase could provide a potential reference for determining the best feeding time during zoea stages in S. paramamosain breeding. Moreover, the relative mRNA expression of metabolism-related genes SpCHH and SpFAS at most tested points was lower from 10:00 to 14:00, but higher at 18:00 to 6:00 of the next day. On the other hand, the expression patterns of SpHSL and SpTryp were converse to those of SpCHH and SpFAS. Our findings revealed that the S. paramamosain zoea has an obvious feeding rhythm, and the most suitable feeding time was 10:00-18:00 depending on different stages. The feeding rhythm is a critical aspect in aquaculture, influencing a series of physiological functions in aquatic animals. This study provides insights into the feeding rhythm during the zoea development of S. paramamosain, making a significant contribution to optimizing feeding strategy, improving aquafeed utilization, and reducing the impact of residual feed on water environment.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) - a complex pathological condition occurring when blood supply is abruptly restored to ischemic tissues, leading to further tissue damage - poses a significant clinical challenge. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs), a specialized set of G-protein-coupled receptors comprising five subtypes (S1PR1 to S1PR5), are prominently present in various cell membranes, including those of lymphocytes, cardiac myocytes, and endothelial cells. Increasing evidence highlights the potential of targeting S1PRs for IRI therapeutic intervention. Notably, preconditioning and postconditioning strategies involving S1PR agonists like FTY720 have demonstrated efficacy in mitigating IRI. As the synthesis of a diverse array of S1PR agonists continues, with FTY720 being a prime example, the body of experimental evidence advocating for their role in IRI treatment is expanding. Despite this progress, comprehensive reviews delineating the therapeutic landscape of S1PR agonists in IRI remain limited. This review aspires to meticulously elucidate the protective roles and mechanisms of S1PR agonists in preventing and managing IRI affecting various organs, including the heart, kidney, liver, lungs, intestines, and brain, to foster novel pharmacological approaches in clinical settings.

Abstract
Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has been implicated in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the relationship between m6A-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (m6A-SNPs) and AAA remains unknown. This study used integrative multi-omics analysis and clinical validation approaches to systematically identify potential m6A-SNPs connected with AAA risk. We found that rs6859 and rs10198139 could modulate the expression of local genes, NECTIN2 and HPCAL1, respectively, which exhibited upregulation in AAA tissues, and their risk variants were significantly correlated with an increased susceptibility to AAA. Incorporating rs6859 and rs10198139 improved the efficiency of AAA risk prediction compared to the model considering only conventional risk factors. Additionally, these two SNPs were predicted to be located within the regulatory sequences, and rs6859 showed a substantial impact on m6A modification levels. Our findings suggest that m6A-SNPs rs6859 and rs10198139 confer an elevated risk of AAA, possibly by promoting local gene expression through an m6A-mediated manner.

Abstract
It remains challenging to obtain a single product in the gas-solid photocatalytic reduction of CO2 because CO and CH4 are usually produced simultaneously. This study presents the design of the I-type nested heterojunction TiO2/BiVO4 with controllable electron transport by modulating the TiO2 component. This study demonstrates that slowing electron transport could enable TiO2/BiVO4-4 to generate CO with 100% selectivity. In addition, modifying TiO2/BiVO4-4 by loading a Cu single atom further increased the CO product yield by 3.83 times (17.33 μmol·gcat-1·h-1), while maintaining 100% selectivity for CO. Characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the selectivity was mainly determined by the electron transport of the support, whereas CO2 was efficiently adsorbed and activated by the Cu single atom. Such a two-step regulation strategy of combining heterojunction with single atom enhances the possibility of simultaneously obtaining high selectivity and high yield in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of pruritus associated with hemodialysis (HD) patients can be as high as 70%, and ~ 40% of patients suffer from moderate to severe systemic pruritus. Difelikefalin (CR845), a peripheral restrictor κ-opioid receptor agonist, activates opioid receptors on peripheral neurons and immune cells to relieve pruritus in patients. However, the clinical effect of difelikefalin on HD-related pruritus is unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis and systematic review was to investigate the safety and efficacy of difelikefalin in the treatment of HD-associated pruritus. OBJECTIVE This study explored the efficacy and safety of difelikefalin in the treatment of pruritus in HD patients by systematic review and meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized controlled trials on difelikefalin in the treatment of pruritus in HD patients were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science electronic databases. The retrieval deadline was January 1, 2023. Stata 15.0 software was used for data analysis of the included studies. RESULTS A total of 4 randomized controlled trials were included, totaling 1,268 patients (736 patients in the experimental group and 532 patients in the control group). Results of the meta-analysis showed that, compared with the control group, difelikefalin could significantly improve the Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale score (improvement > 3; risk ratio (RR) = 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.07, 1.53)), decrease the 5-D itch score (standardized mean difference = -0.43, 95% CI (-0.55, -0.30)), and significantly improve adverse events (RR = 1.33, 95% CI (1.13, 1.56)). CONCLUSION Although difelikefalin can improve itching symptoms in HD patients, it can also increase adverse reactions based on the current literature. Therefore, more studies are needed to further explore the safety and efficacy of difelikefalin treatment.

Abstract
Coronary slow flow is taken to be indicative of delayed filling of terminal vessels of the coronary arteries in the absence of coronary stenosis, as detected using coronary angiography. Patients suffering from coronary slow flow typically experience recurrent chest pain, thereby markedly affecting their quality of life. The etiology and pathogenesis of coronary slow flow, which is gradually attracting clinical attention, have yet to be sufficiently established, although it is currently believed that they may be associated with endothelial dysfunction in the coronary arteries, inflammatory response, abnormalities in microvascular reserve function, subclinical atherosclerosis, blood cell and platelet abnormalities, and genetic factors. In this review, we provide a brief overview of recent progress in research on the pathogenesis of coronary slow flow with a view toward elucidating the possible underlying pathogenesis and identify targets and directions for the treatment of this condition.

Abstract
Recently intensified oil exploitation has resulted in the discharge of large amounts of wastewater containing high concentrations of organic matter and nutrients into the receiving aquatic and soil environments; however, the effects of oilfield-produced water on the soil microbiota are poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to reveal the composition and diversity of the microbial community at horizontal and vertical scales in a typical arid soil receiving oilfield-produced water in Northwest China. Oilfield-produced water caused an increase in microbial diversity at the horizontal scale, and the communities in the topsoil were more variable than those in the subsoil. Additionally, the microbial taxonomic composition differed significantly between the near- and far-producing water soils, with Proteobacteria and Halobacterota dominating the water-affected and reference soil communities, respectively. Soil property analysis revealed that pH, salt, and total organic content influenced the bacterial communities. Furthermore, the oil-produced water promoted the complexity and modularity of distance-associated microbial networks, indicating positive interactions for soil ecosystem function, but not for irrigation or livestock watering. This is the first detailed examination of the microbial communities in soil receiving oilfield-produced water, providing new insights for understanding the microbial spatial distributions in receiving arid soils.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by intermittent hypoxia (IH) and is strongly associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Myocardial injury and dysfunction have been commonly observed in clinical practice, particularly in patients with severe OSA. However, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. In this review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms by which IH impact on myocardial injury and dysfunction. In brief, IH-induced cardiomyocyte death proceeds through the regulation of multiple biological processes, including differentially expressed transcription factors, alternative epigenetic programs, and altered post-translational modification. Besides cell death, various cardiomyocyte injuries, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, occurs with IH. In addition to the direct effects on cardiomyocytes, IH has been found to deteriorate myocardial blood and energy supply by affecting the microvascular structure and disrupting glucose and lipid metabolism. For better diagnosis and treatment of OSA, further studies on the molecular mechanisms of IH-induced myocardial injury and dysfunction are essential.

Abstract
The removal and recovery of uranium [U(VI)] from organic containing wastewater has been a challenging in radioactive wastewater purification. Here, we designed a polyamine/amidoxime polyacrylonitrile fiber (PAN-AO-A) with high removal efficiency, excellent selectivity, excellent organic resistance and low cost by combining the anti-organic properties of amidoxime polyacrylonitrile fiber (PAN-AO-A) with the high adsorption capacity of polyamine polyacrylonitrile fiber, which is used to extract U(VI) from low-level uranium-containing wastewater with high ammonia nitrogen and organic content. PAN-AO-A adsorbent with high grafting rate (86.52%), high adsorption capacity (qe = 618.8 mg g-1), and strong resistance to organics and impurity interference is achieved. The adsorption rate of U(VI) in both real organic and laundry wastewater containing uranium is as high as 99.7%, and the partition coefficients (Kd) are 7.61 × 105 mL g-1 and 9.16 × 106 mL g-1, respectively. The saturated adsorption capacity of PAN-AO-A in the continuous system solution can reach up to 505.5 mg g-1, and the concentration of U(VI) in the effluent is as low as 1 μg L-1. XPS analysis and Density functional theory (DFT) studies the coordination form between U(VI) and PAN-AO-A, where the most stable structure is η2-AO(UO2)(CO3)2. The -NH-/-NH2 and -C(NH2)N-OH groups of PAN-AO-A exhibit a synergistic complex effect in the U(VI) adsorption process. PAN-AO-A is a material with profound influence and limitless potential that can be used for wastewater containing U(VI) and organic matter.

Abstract
The rapid deactivation of cost-effective MnO2-based catalysts in humid air limits their application in practice, and the identification of the role of water in an oxidation process is significant for developing water-resistant MnO2-based catalysts. Here, CuMnO2 showed a 20.3% HCHO conversion in 10 hr at room temperature in humid air with relative humidity of 40%, but deactivated in 3 hr in dry air. The excellent activity and stability of HCHO oxidation in humid air were attributed to the positive effect of H2O on HCHO oxidation to the H2O-HOCH2OH supermolecule assemblies via hydrogen bonds formed on CuMnO2. H2O-HOCH2OH supermolecule assemblies tend to be oxidized to carbonate, which is further oxidized to CO2. Furthermore, CuMnO2 exhibited a much poorer activity of CO oxidation in humid air, but the CO conversion was still 100% in 10 hr in dry air. H2O showed a competitive adsorption effect to CO on CuMnO2. CuMnO2 could be applied in HCHO elimination in humid air and CO elimination in dry air.

Abstract
Image compressed sensing (ICS) has been extensively applied in various imaging domains due to its capability to sample and reconstruct images at subNyquist sampling rates. The current predominant approaches in ICS, specifically pure convolutional networks (ConvNets)-based ICS methods, have demonstrated their effectiveness in capturing local features for image recovery. Simultaneously, the Transformer architecture has gained significant attention due to its capability to model global correlations among image features. Motivated by these insights, we propose a novel hybrid network for ICS, named MTC-CSNet, which effectively combines the strengths of both ConvNets and Transformer architectures in capturing local and global image features to achieve high-quality image recovery. Particularly, MTC-CSNet is a dual-path framework that consists of a ConvNets-based recovery branch and a Transformer-based recovery branch. Along the ConvNets-based recovery branch, we design a lightweight scheme to capture the local features in natural images. Meanwhile, we implement a Transformer-based recovery branch to iteratively model the global dependencies among image patches. Ultimately, the ConvNets-based and Transformer-based recovery branches collaborate through a bridging unit, facilitating the adaptive transmission and fusion of informative features for image reconstruction. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed MTC-CSNet surpasses the state-of-the-art methods on various public datasets. The code and models are publicly available at MTC-CSNet.

Abstract
Efficient regeneration of bone defects caused by disease or significant trauma is a major challenge in current medicine, which is particularly difficult yet significant under the emerging psychological stress in the modern society. Notably, the brain-bone axis has been proposed as a prominent new concept in recent years, among which autonomic nerves act as an essential and emerging skeletal pathophysiological factor related to psychological stress. Studies have established that sympathetic cues lead to impairment of bone homeostasis mainly through acting on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their derivatives with also affecting the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-lineage osteoclasts, and the autonomic neural regulation of stem cell lineages in bone is increasingly recognized to contribute to the bone degenerative disease, osteoporosis. This review summarizes the distribution characteristics of autonomic nerves in bone, introduces the regulatory effects and mechanisms of autonomic nerves on MSC and HSC lineages, and expounds the crucial role of autonomic neural regulation on bone physiology and pathology, which acts as a bridge between the brain and the bone. With the translational perspective, we further highlight the autonomic neural basis of psychological stress-induced bone loss and a series of pharmaceutical therapeutic strategies and implications toward bone regeneration. The summary of research progress in this field will add knowledge to the current landscape of inter-organ crosstalk and provide a medicinal basis for the achievement of clinical bone regeneration in the future.

Abstract
The contradiction between the rapid textile expansion and intensive energy consumption, highly environmental pollution calls for the adoption of cleaner production (CP). However, current evaluation system mainly targeted on CP at production stage, guidance and support on the life cycle assessment is still in its infancy. Meanwhile few studies brought the combination of water conservation and carbon reduction into considerations. This study compared the existing CP evaluation systems including guidelines for the whole industry, standards for textile industry and indicators for the dyeing and finishing sector by quantifying the differences of indicator score compositions. Comparisons analysis from six aspects suggested that all the evaluation systems had relevant indicators regarding "pollutant emissions". "Management", "process equipment and techniques" and "resource and energy consumption" have also been well concerned while "product characteristic" seemed to be overlooked at current stage. From the perspective of whole life cycle, the key of textile processing is the "printing and dyeing" (44.23 %) followed by "fabric manufacturing"(28.85 %) and setting (15.38 %). With regards to the environmental impacts, resources depletion gained the highest attention since their indicator scores reached up to 25.71 %, 18.47 % and 20.62 % for EMAS, ERG 2018 and HJ-1852006. Cleaner production awareness and social impact also played significant roles in ISO 14031:2021 and WMG. Subsequently, a set of new comprehensive CP evaluation indicator system was established, including 3 scopes and 7 goals. The newly-built indicator system incorporated with life cycle perspectives gave a powerful tool to measure the CP level in textile industry and of CP will benefit from water reuse and energy utilization with high efficiency.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in environmental compartments and consumer products. Although liver is frequently reported to be a target organ of MP accumulation in mammals, few studies have focused on MP hepatoxicity in humans. In this study, we used normal human liver cells, THLE-2, to assess the acute and chronic toxicity of polystyrene (PS) MPs with sizes of 0.1 and 1 μm. The results showed that after 48 h of exposure, both kinds of PS MPs could enter THLE-2 cells and cause no obviously acute cytotoxicity at <20 μg/mL. In contrast, metabolomic analysis revealed that 90 days of PS MPs exposure at environmentally relevant dose (0.2 μg/mL) could significantly alter the metabolic profiles of the cells, especially the nanosized MPs. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter pathway was the most significantly changed pathway. Cell functional tests confirmed that chronic PS MP treatment could inhibit the activity of the ABC efflux transporter and further increase the cytotoxicity of arsenic, indicating that the PS MPs had a chemosensitizing effect. These findings underline the chronic risk of MPs to human liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the independent and incremental values of advanced oxidative protein product (AOPP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) in identifying arteriosclerosis in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS A total of 104 individuals diagnosed with OSA by polysomnography were recruited in our study. Arteriosclerosis was defined by measuring the ultrafast pulse wave velocity of the carotid artery. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected to analyze the levels of AOPP, IL-6, and GDF15 utilizing commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS Compared to OSA patients without arteriosclerosis, those with arteriosclerosis exhibited significantly higher levels of AOPP, IL-6, and GDF15. GDF15 remained significantly associated with arteriosclerosis even after accounting for clinical factors such as age, gender, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, smoking, and the apnea-hypoxia index (AHI). GDF15 demonstrated the largest area under the curve (AUC) for identifying arteriosclerosis in OSA patients (AUC, 0.85 [0.77-0.94]). The logistic regression model, combining clinical factors and AHI, was enhanced by the inclusion of AOPP and IL-6 (Chi-square = 25.06), and even further improved when GDF15 was added (Chi-square = 50.74). The integrated discrimination index increased by 0.06 to 0.16 when GDF15 was added to the models including clinical factors, AOPP, and IL-6. CONCLUSIONS This study verified the independent and incremental value of GDF15 in identifying arteriosclerosis in OSA patients, surpassing clinical risk factors and other serum biomarkers such as AOPP and IL-6.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is an important predictor of cardiovascular disease. The purpose of the current study was to detect the association between dietary selenium intake and severe AAC. We included 2651 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2013-2014). Dietary selenium intake was measured using the 24-hour recall method. AAC was quantified using the Kauppila score system based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, with a score of >6 indicating severe AAC. The association between dietary selenium intake and severe AAC was analyzed by using a weighted multivariate logistic regression model, smooth curve fitting, and stratified subgroup analysis. After adjusting for multiple covariates, we found that higher dietary selenium intake was negatively associated with severe AAC incidence. When selenium intake was converted into tertiles, the highest tertile of dietary selenium intake was significantly associated with the incidence of severe AAC (odds ratio = 0.66). Smooth curve fitting revealed that this relationship was nonlinear. Subgroup analysis revealed that this negative association was present in participants with chronic kidney disease, but was absent when participants had hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Higher dietary selenium intake was negatively associated with severe AAC incidence in a nonlinear pattern, except in participants with diabetes mellitus or hypertension. However, further cohort studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the authors' experience in head and neck reconstruction with the tensor fascia lata perforator flap (TFLPF). Between April 2009 and August 2020, 16 patients underwent head and neck reconstruction with a TFLPF. The flaps were designed in a vertical or transverse fashion based on perforators traveling along the medial or lateral aspect of the posterior edge of the tensor fascia lata muscle. Clinical details and postoperative results were recorded and analyzed. The size of the flap ranged from 7 × 5 cm2 to 25 × 9 cm2. The perforators were mostly septocutaneous (11 patients), allowing a simple and straightforward dissection of the perforator and TFLPF in most patients. There were either one or two perforators in all cases. The overall flap survival rate was 100%. All of the flaps healed uneventfully with no delayed wound healing or donor site dysfunction. Follow-up ranged from 18 to 120 months, during which all patients experienced satisfactory functional and aesthetic results, without serious complications at either the recipient or donor site. The TFLPF is a pliable and reliable flap that could be a first choice in selected head and neck reconstruction cases.

Abstract
Variability in food availability leads to condition-dependent investments in reproduction. This study is aimed at understanding the metabolic response and regulatory mechanism of female Scylla paramamosain in response to starvation in a temporal- and tissue-specific manner. The mud crabs were starved for 7 (control), 14, 28, and 40 days for histological and biochemical analysis in the hepatopancreas, ovary, and serum, as well as for RNA sequencing on the hepatopancreas and ovary. We further highlighted candidate gene modules highly linked to physiological traits. Collectively, our observations suggested that starvation triggered endogenous ovarian maturation at the expense of hepatopancreas mass, with both metabolic adjustments to optimize energy and fatty acid supply from hepatopancreas to ovary in the early phase, followed by the activation of autophagy-related pathways in both organs over prolonged starvation. These specific adaptive responses might be considered efficient strategies to stimulate ovarian maturation of Scylla paramamosain under fasting stress, which improves the nutritional value of female mud crabs and other economically important crustaceans.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to examine the potential induction of senescence in vascular endothelial cells (VECs) by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a defining characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This investigation seeks to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases in patients with OSA, with a particular focus on CIH-induced vascular aging. METHODS The BioSpherix-OxyCycler system was used to establish models of CIH in both rats and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). To assess VECs' senescence, various methods were employed including EdU incorporation assay, cell cycle analysis, senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, and senescence protein testing. Vascular aging was evaluated through measurements of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, intima-media thickness, and Ki67 immunohistochemical staining. In order to identify the molecular mechanisms associated with CIH-induced senescence in VECs, a bioinformatics study was conducted utilizing the Gene Expression Omnibus database. RESULTS Under conditions of CIH, HUVECs exhibited inhibited proliferation, arrested cell cycle, increased activity of SA-β-gal, and elevated expression levels of p53 and p21 compared to HUVECs under normoxic conditions. Similarly, rats exposed to CIH displayed increased carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, intima-media thickness, vascular permeability, and SA-β-gal activity in VECs, along with decreased expression of arterial Ki67. BTG3-associated protein (BANP) was found to be highly expressed in CIH-induced VECs. Furthermore, the overexpression of BANP resulted in the senescence of VECs, along with elevated levels of p53 phosphorylation and nuclear localization. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that CIH can induce VECs senescence and contribute to vascular aging. Additionally, BANP can induce VECs senescence by promoting p53 phosphorylation and nuclear retention. These discoveries offer novel insights into the increased cardiovascular risk associated with OSA, thereby presenting new possibilities for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Background Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used examination methods in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is valuable in evaluating patient prognosis. Although contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can assess more in depth the vascular lesions of patients, there is still a lack of relevant research on the value of quantitative parameters of CEUS in predicting the long-term prognosis of patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), thus, we designed this study. Methods From January 2016 to December 2017, a total of 473 patients with CCS admitted to Yueyang People's Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. The patients were followed up for five years. According to whether the patients had major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), patients were divided into the MACE group (n=113) and the control group (n=360). The CEUS was performed to detect the myocardial perfusion status. The value of quantitative parameters of CEUS in predicting the MACE in patients with CCS was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Peak intensity of contrast agent at platform stage, rising rate of microbubble reperfusion, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were found to be valuable in predicting the risk of MACE in patients with CCS. Among them, the peak intensity of contrast agent at platform stage had the highest predictive value, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.860 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.827-0.894, P<0.001]. Multivariate logistics regression analysis showed that the peak intensity of contrast agent at platform stage <4.54 dB and rising rate of microbubble reperfusion <0.275 s were independent risk factors of MACE in patients with CCS. The relative risks were 12.238 (95% CI: 6.632-22.585) and 5.724 (95% CI: 3.149-10.405), respectively. Conclusions Quantitative parameters of CEUS can be used as predictors of MACE in patients with CCS, and strengthening the management of such high-risk patients may be beneficial to reduce the incidence of MACE.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are frequently detected in environmental and human samples. However, the effective removal of BPA and its analogs has not yet been extensively studied. Herein, we introduce a novel enzyme reactor for the degradation of BPA and its analogs in water. The influence of pore size on the degradation efficiency of immobilized laccase in the spatial nanopores of hydrogel was investigated using BPA as a representative compound. This showed that nanopores enhance the activity of immobilized laccases in a pore size-dependent manner and increase their stability. Compared with the same amount of free laccase, the 50 mg/L BPA degradation performance of laccase immobilized in 76 nm nanopores increased to 300 %. Taking advantage of magnetic separation, this immobilized laccase can be reused, and its degradation capacity was maintained at over 73.7 % after ten reactions. Moreover, the degradation of seven BPA analogs was 1.03-5.88 times higher using laccase immobilized in nanopores compared with free laccase. Also, the biocatalyst could efficiently degrade BPA analogs in real water matrix. This study opens up a new avenue for the removal of BPA and its analogs by immobilizing laccase in nanopores, overcoming the key limitations introduced by the short enzyme life span and non-reusability.

Abstract
The La-based perovskite (LaBO3) exhibits excellent optical properties. However, its valence band (VB) potential is not sufficiently positive to reach the oxidation potential required for the cleavage of chemical bonds (such as benzylic C-H), limiting its application in photocatalysis. Herein, we report the unconventional effects of heat activation on the reduction of the dissociation energy of benzylic C-H and aqueous H-O, thereby triggering the photocatalytic activity of La2CoxMn2-xO6 perovskites. Additionally, we demonstrate that photocatalysis is the main contributor to substrate conversion in the selective oxidation of toluene and reduction of CO2. Particularly, La2Co1.5Mn0.5O6 shows excellent performance with a product yield of 550.00 mmol gcat-1 and a toluene conversion of 22,866.67 μmol gcat-1 h-1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest reported product yield for the selective oxidation of benzylic C-H bond of toluene. Our findings provide insight into the specific role of heat activation in photocatalysis, which is crucial for breaking and overcoming the VB barrier to realize challenging reactions.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effects of scalp flaps pedicled with superficial temporal artery parietal branch in repairing facial destructive burn wounds. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2016 to December 2021, 15 patients with facial destructive burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 11 males and 4 females, aged 22 to 79 years. Two patients were complicated with unilateral eyeball destructive burns, two patients were complicated with unilateral auricle defects, eight patients were complicated with lip and cheek defects, and three patients were complicated with lip, cheek, and unilateral nasal alar defects. The burn wound areas ranged from 9 cm×6 cm to 13 cm×10 cm. The scalp flaps pedicled with superficial temporal artery parietal branch, with the area of 10 cm×7 cm to 15 cm×11 cm, were designed, excised, and transferred for repairing burn wounds. The secondary wounds at the donor sites were repaired with medium-thickness scalp grafts. According to patient's needs, the hairs grew at the facial transplanted flap were removed by laser at 2 weeks after the flap was completely viable, or the expanded scalp flap was used to treat the secondary alopecia in the flap donor area of the head at 3 months after the primary wound repair. The survival of the flap/skin graft and the wound healing of the donor and recipient areas after the primary wound repair were recorded. During the follow-up, the appearance of the flap, the scar hyperplasia at the suture site, the repair effect of facial functional parts, the treatment effects of laser hair removal and secondary alopecia treatment at the flap donor site were observed; the patient's satisfaction with the overall repair effect was inquired. Results: After the primary wound repair, all the flaps transplanted to the burn wounds and the skin grafts transplanted to the secondary wounds of the flap donor sites survived well, and the wounds at the donor and recipient sites of flap healed well. The color, texture, and thickness of flap were basically the same as those of normal facial skin, and the scar at the suture site was slight during 3 to 18 months of follow-up period after the primary wound repair. In 11 patients complicated with lip defects, the oral integrity, and the opening and closing functions of mouth were restored with the mouth opening being 2.0-2.5 cm and no microstomia; all the patients could carry out basic language communication, 8 of them could take regular food, and 3 of them could take soft food. The wounds in two patients with unilateral eyeball destructive burns were repaired. In 2 patients complicated with auricle defects, the wounds were repaired, and the external auditory canals were normal. In 3 patients complicated with unilateral nasal alar defects, their noses had poor appearance with reduced nostrils. No hair growth was observed in the facial flap sites after treatment of laser hair removal in 8 patients. Five patients were successfully treated with expanded scalp flaps for secondary alopecia in the flap donor area of the head. The patients were all satisfied with the overall repair effect. Conclusions: The scalp flap pedicled with superficial temporal artery parietal branch has abundant blood supply and is suitable for repairing the wounds in facial destructive burns. It is easy to transfer and can better restore the appearance and function of the recipient area with minimal damage to the flap donor area, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HER2 mutations are targetable alterations in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In the SUMMIT basket study, patients with HER2-mutant MBC received neratinib monotherapy, neratinib + fulvestrant, or neratinib + fulvestrant + trastuzumab (N + F + T). We report results from 71 patients with HR+, HER2-mutant MBC, including 21 (seven in each arm) from a randomized substudy of fulvestrant versus fulvestrant + trastuzumab (F + T) versus N + F + T. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with HR+ HER2-negative MBC with activating HER2 mutation(s) and prior cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) therapy received N + F + T (oral neratinib 240 mg/day with loperamide prophylaxis, intramuscular fulvestrant 500 mg on days 1, 15, and 29 of cycle 1 then q4w, intravenous trastuzumab 8 mg/kg then 6 mg/kg q3w) or F + T or fulvestrant alone. Those whose disease progressed on F + T or fulvestrant could cross-over to N + F + T. Efficacy endpoints included investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (RECIST v1.1), duration of response, and progression-free survival (PFS). Plasma and/or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples were collected at baseline; plasma was collected during and at end of treatment. Extracted DNA was analyzed by next-generation sequencing. RESULTS ORR for 57 N + F + T-treated patients was 39% [95% confidence interval (CI) 26% to 52%); median PFS was 8.3 months (95% CI 6.0-15.1 months). No responses occurred in fulvestrant- or F + T-treated patients; responses in patients crossing over to N + F + T supported the requirement for neratinib in the triplet. Responses were observed in patients with ductal and lobular histology, 1 or ≥1 HER2 mutations, and co-occurring HER3 mutations. Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA sequencing revealed acquisition of additional HER2 alterations, and mutations in genes including PIK3CA, enabling further precision targeting and possible re-response. CONCLUSIONS The benefit of N + F + T for HR+ HER2-mutant MBC after progression on CDK4/6is is clinically meaningful and, based on this study, N + F + T has been included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network treatment guidelines. SUMMIT has improved our understanding of the translational implications of targeting HER2 mutations with neratinib-based therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE In diagnosing the pathogenesis of Graves' orbitopathy (GO), there is a growing interest in fibrosis generated by orbital fibroblasts (OFs); nevertheless, the involvement of ceruloplasmin (CP) in OFs remains unknown. METHODS Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through bioinformatic analysis. OFs were isolated from orbital tissue and identified with immunofluorescent staining. The levels of DEGs were validated in GO tissue samples and TGF-β-challenged OFs, and CP was selected for the following laboratory investigations. CP overexpression or knockdown was achieved, and cell viability and fibrosis-associated proteins were investigated to assess the cell phenotype and function. Signaling pathways were subsequently investigated to explore the mechanism of CP function in OFs. RESULTS CP and cathepsin C (CTSC) are two overlapped DEGs in GSE58331 and GSE105149. OFs were isolated and identified through fibrotic biomarkers. CP and CTSC were downregulated in GO tissue samples and TGF-β-challenged OFs. CP overexpression or knockdown was achieved in OFs by transducing a CP overexpression vector or small interfering RNA against CP (si1-CP or si2-CP) and verified using a qRT-PCR. CP overexpression inhibited cell viability and reduced the levels of α-SMA, vimentin, fibronectin, and collagen I, whereas CP knockdown exerted opposite effects on OFs. CP overexpression inhibited the phosphorylation of Smad3, Erk1/2, p38, JNK, and AKT; conversely, CP knockdown exerted opposite effects on the phosphorylation of factors mentioned above. CONCLUSION CP was downregulated in GO and suppressed the expression of fibrosis-associated proteins in both GO and normal OFs. CP might serve as a promising therapeutic agent in the treatment regimens for GO.

Abstract
Before the Song Dynasty, the main processing method of Pinelliae Rhizoma was soup washing. The "new method" in Taiping Huimin Heji JuFang is a processing method that concocted with Ginger,white alum and starter-making.The "Fa Banxia" in the Yuan Dynasty's Yuyuan Yaofang comes from the Taiping Huimin Heji JuFang, and the Fa Wen Banxia, Fa Bai Banxia, and Fa Hong Banxia are the processing methods of patent medicine with a variety of other herbs.Fa Banxia appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and its auxiliary materials were ginger and white alum, and medical formulary began to include formulas containing Fa Banxia. Bencao Gangmu abbreviates the Yuan Dynasty's Fabai Banxia as "Fa Banxia", and is elaborated under the item attached "prescription" item instead of the "treatment". In the literature of Materia Medica, it is recorded that the preparation of auxiliary materials in Fa Banxia increased, including lime, licorice, soap horn, and simple nitro.After Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, the Fa Banxia in famous medical cases was more used, and at that time, Fa Banxia was Xian Banxia. There are two recipes for Xian Banxia: one is made with seven processes, and the other is soaked in alum licorice water. During the Republican period, Zhang Cigong also pointed out that Fa Banxia was sliced Xian Banxia after rinsing and boiling, while the preparation method of Xian Banxia was Banxia made of ginger and white alum.Ye Juquan pointed out that the so-called "fa" is neither an ancient method nor a new method, questioning the process of repeated immersion in Banxia. After 1949, the questioning of Fa Banxia continued unceasing.Influenced by this, the 1960 edition Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Slice Cutting Experience included the method of soaking alum, licorice ,lime water, and was included in the 1963 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China.The 1985 version reduced the soaking time and eliminated the soaking process of alum based on the 1963 version, and this method is still used today.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with life-threatening complications, there are still limited reliable biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed as the potential diagnostic and risk stratification markers of AAA patients, and we aim to evaluate the serum level of miR-1-3p and its diagnostic value in AAA. METHODS This study included 200 AAA patients and 200 controls. Demographic data and clinical information were collected from the subjects' medical records. Individual image analyses of AAA morphology were determined based on computed tomography angiography (CTA). The levels of serum miRNA expression were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Bioinformatics tools were used to identify the target genes of miR-1-3p and their potential biological functions were further enriched. RESULTS Serum miR-1-3p levels in the AAA group were significantly lower when compared with those in the control group in overall and subgroup comparisons. It was negatively related to WBC, CRP, maximal aneurysm diameter, area, and volume in AAA patients. Circulating miR-1-3p levels could significantly discriminate between AAA patients and healthy individuals with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.672 (95% CI = 0.619-0.724, p < 0.001), a sensitivity of 84.5% and a specificity of 45.5%. Serum miR-1-3p was associated with a reduced risk of AAA even after adjustment for possible risk factors (OR = 0.440 per unit increase, 95% CI = 0.301-0.643, p < 0.001). And low levels of serum miR-1-3p could significantly elevate the risk of AAA in both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses with ORs of 4.076 and 4.136, respectively (all p < 0.001). Further GO enrichment analysis revealed that miR-1-3p was mainly involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process, sprouting angiogenesis, angiogenesis, positive regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration, positive regulation of cell proliferation, regulation of cell shape, etc. CONCLUSIONS MiR-1-3p can be used as a promising circulating biomarker in the development of AAA, and it may participate in multiple biological processes to play a crucial role in AAA pathogenesis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the curative effects of ultrathin anterolateral femoral flap in one-stage split-finger repair of palmar combined with multiple finger wounds. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From October 2016 to June 2018, 20 patients with wounds on palms and multiple fingers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 15 males and 5 females, aged 18 to 77 years. After debridement, the wound area was 8 cm×4 cm-17 cm×12 cm. The wound was repaired by ultrathin anterolateral femoral flap with area of 9 cm×5 cm to 19 cm×13 cm. According to the wound condition of finger, the finger division was performed in one stage, and the length-to-width ratio of the split-finger flap was 2.0:1.0-2.5:1.0. During the surgery, the descending branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery and accompanying vein of flap were anastomosed end-to-end to the radial artery and vein in the recipient area, respectively, and the anterolateral femoral cutaneous nerve of flap was bridged with the superficial branch of radial nerve in the recipient area. The wounds in the donor area of flap in 14 patients were sutured directly, the wounds in the donor area of flap in 3 patients were repaired by relay superficial iliac circumflex artery perforator flap, and the wounds in the donor area of flap in 3 patients were covered by free trunk medium-thick skin graft. The survival of flap, occurrence of vascular crisis and other complications, and healing of wounds in the donor area of flap were recorded. The appearance of flap, scar hyperplasia in the donor and recipient areas and the patients' satisfaction with the shape and function of the donor and recipient areas were followed up. In 1 year after surgery, the two-point discrimination distance of the flap was measured, and the recovery of hand function was evaluated by the trial standard for the evaluation of the functions of the upper limbs of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association. Results: The flaps of 17 patients survived without vascular crisis or other complications after surgery. The flap of 1 patient had poor blood circulation and partial necrosis, and the wound was healed 14 days after dressing change and grafting of split-thickness skin graft from head. Two patients had mild cyanosis at the margin of flap after surgery, which disappeared spontaneously 5 days later. Incisions at donor site, relay flaps, and skin grafts of all patients survived well. After surgery, the color and texture of flap were basically the same as that of the normal skin of hand, and linear scars were observed in the donor and recipient areas. The patients were satisfied with the recovery of appearance and function of donor and recipient areas. After 1 year of follow-up, the patients' hand sensory function recovered well, the two-point discrimination distance of flap was 4-6 mm, and the recovery of hand function was evaluated as excellent in 18 cases and good in 2 cases. Conclusions: The ultrathin anterolateral femoral flap in repairing the palmar combined with multiple finger wounds in one-stage split-finger can significantly reduce the number of surgeries and improve the function and beauty of the hand, so it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
In order to explore the clinical efficacy of hollow compression screw internal fixation in the treatment of lateral process fracture of the talus under open surgery versus arthroscopy procedure, a retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 33 patients with lateral process fracture of the talus admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. There were 19 males (19 feet) and 14 females (14 feet), aged 18 to 50 years, with an average age of (32.2±9.3) years. According to the modified McCrory-Bladin classification, all patients were classified as type Ⅱ. Based on the different surgical methods, the patients were divided into the arthroscopy group (21 cases, treated with double-tunnel subtalar arthroscopy combined with hollow compression screw internal fixation) and the open group (12 cases, treated with open reduction and internal fixation with hollow compression screw). The operation time was observed and the surgical effects were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, the Foot Function Index (FFI), and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), which includes the FAAM-ADL (activity of daily living subscale) and the FAAM-S (sport subscale). All the patients of the two groups achieved stage Ⅰ wound healing. On the first day after the operation, the mean VAS score of the arthroscopy group was 2.4±0.7, which was significantly lower than that of the open group (3.4±1.6) (P=0.020). No significant difference was observed in terms of the follow-up time, operation time and AOFAS score between the two groups (all P>0.05). The FFI score of the arthroscopy group was significantly lower than that of the open group, and the FAAM-ADL and FAAM-S scores were significantly higher than those in the open group (all P<0.05). Two cases of dorsal foot numbness occurred in the open group after the operation, and the incidence of complications was not significantly different from that of the arthroscopy group (P=0.054). For McCrory-Bladin type Ⅱ lateral process fracture of the talus, the use of compression screw internal fixation could achieve reliable results, however, compared to open surgery, arthroscopy procedure obtained mini trauma and better functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary slow flow (CSF) is an angiographic finding defined as delayed distal vessel perfusion without severe stenosis of the epicardial coronary arteries. However, definite alterations in left ventricular (LV) function in patients with CSF remains inconsistent. This study aimed to clarify the changes in LV function in patients with CSF and explore the factors that may influence LV function. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the LV function parameters were calculated. Subgroup analysis, meta-regression analysis, and correlation analysis were performed to explore the factors influencing LV function. RESULTS Twenty-two studies (1101 patients with CSF) were included after searching three databases. In patients with CSF, LV ejection function in patients with CSF was marginally lower (61.8%; 95% CI: 61.0%, 62.7%), global longitudinal strain was decreased (-18.2%; 95% CI: -16.7%, -19.7%). Furthermore, left atrial diameter, left atrial volume index, and E/e' were significantly increased, while E/A and e' were significantly decreased. The mean thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count (TFC) was linearly associated with LV function; the larger the mean TFC, the greater the impairment of LV function. CONCLUSIONS Left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions were impaired in patients with CSF, and this impairment was aggravated with increasing mean TFC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in detecting endoleak after endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR). Methods: The postoperative follow-up data of 102 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with EVAR in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from August 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 79 males and 23 females, aged 50-91 (69.6±7.6) years old. Using CT angiography (CTA) as the gold standard for diagnosing endoleaks, the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and CDUS in detecting endoleaks was evaluated by paired design chi-square test, and the Kappa value was calculated for consistency test. Patients were divided into groups according to body mass index (BMI), and the number of false-negative endoleaks detected by contrast-enhanced ultrasound in each group was calculated, and its ratio to the actual number of endoleaks was calculated to evaluate whether BMI was related to false-negative ultrasound-enhanced ultrasound. Results: A total of 203 follow-up visits met the inclusion criteria. Endoleaks were detected 36 times (17.7%) by CTA, 31 times (15.3%) by contrast-enhanced ultrasound, 16 times (7.9%) by CDUS, and they all detected type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ endoleaks. There was no significant difference between contrast-enhanced ultrasound and CTA in endoleak detection rate and determination of endoleak types (endoleak detection rate: 15.3% vs 17.7%; determination of endoleak types: type Ⅰ 4 vs 4, type Ⅱ 26 vs 31, type Ⅲ 1 vs 1; all P>0.05). CDUS and CTA had statistically significant differences in the detection rate of endoleaks and determination of endoleak types (endoleak detection rate: 7.9% vs 17.7%; determination of endoleak types: type Ⅰ 4 vs 4, type Ⅱ 11 vs 31, type Ⅲ 1 vs 1; all P<0.001). Compared with CTA, contrast-enhanced ultrasound has a sensitivity of 83.3%, a specificity of 99.4%, a Youden index of 0.827, a coincidence rate of 96.6%, a positive predictive value of 96.8%, a negative predictive value of 96.5%, and a Kappa value of 0.875(P<0.001). The two showed excellent diagnostic consistency. All 6 endoleaks not detected by contrast-enhanced ultrasound were type Ⅱ endoleak that did not require treatment, and 3(15.8%) occurred in obese patients with a BMI≥32 kg/m2. Compared with CTA, CDUS had a sensitivity of 38.9%, a specificity of 98.8%, a Youden index of 0.377, a coincidence rate of 88.2%, a positive predictive value of 87.5%, a negative predictive value of 88.2%, and a Kappa value of 0.482 (P<0.001). The two showed moderate diagnostic agreement. The correlation coefficient of the maximum diameter of aneurysms measured by ultrasound and CT was r=0.873(P<0.001). Conclusions: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is accurate in detecting endoleak after infrarenal EVAR, and its sensitivity to endoleak detection in obese patients with BMI≥32 kg/m2 will be reduced. CDUS is not suitable for detection of endoleak after infrarenal EVAR, but it can be used to monitor the change of the largest diameter of aneurysm after EVAR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore the early diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-related quantitative parameter and its relationship with the micro-perfusion of nontraumatic necrosis of the femoral head. PATIENTS AND METHODS According to the random and double-blind method, the patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis diagnosed and treated in our hospital from July 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the subjects (the research group). According to the staging of the International Society of Bone Circulation for Femoral Head Necrosis, 89 patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ A were included (39 patients with stage Ⅱ and 50 patients with stage Ⅲ A). 25 patients who conducted physical examination in our hospital during the same time were taken as the control group. Quantitative parameters of CEUS were analyzed. The content of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) were evaluated. The relationship among the quantitative parameters of CEUS, the expression of VEGF and BMP-2 in serum and the patient's condition, and the value for assisting the early diagnosis of nontraumatic femoral head necrosis were analyzed. RESULTS The body mass, body mass index (BMI), blood lipid, and cholesterol levels were much higher in the research group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The research group had a markedly higher slope of ascending branch (AS), strength enhancement index (EI), and VEGF and obviously lower decay slope (DS), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP) than the control group (p < 0.05). In the research group, compared to stage Ⅱ, the levels of AS, EI, and VEGF in stage Ⅲ A patients were memorably higher, and the levels of DS, MTT, TTP and BMP-2 were dramatically lower (p < 0.05). Pearson's correlation test showed that AS, EI, and VEGF were positively correlated with the patients' condition, while DS, MTT, TTP and BMP-2 were negatively correlated with the patients' condition (p < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the diagnostic area under the curve (AUC) of quantitative parameters of CEUS was 0.961, with sensitivity and specificity of 88.0% and 97.4%, respectively. The AUC of the combined detection of VEGF and BMP-2 was 0.945 with sensitivity and specificity of 82.3% and 87.5%, respectively, and the combined detection had a high diagnostic value (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The quantitative parameters of CEUS were of great value in the early diagnosis of nontraumatic necrosis of the femoral head with microvascular perfusion and the patients' condition, and provided a reference for the clinical treatment of non-traumatic necrosis of the femoral head. These parameters were expected to be useful indicators for judging the efficacy before and after treatment.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a great threat to public health in recent years. A primary lysozyme is a natural antimicrobial protein; however, its widespread application is limited by its instability. Here, we present a poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel inverse opal particle (PHIOP) as a microcarrier of lysozyme to prolong and enhance the efficiency against bacteria. This PHIOP-based lysozyme (PHIOP-Lys) formulation is temperature-responsive and exhibits long-term sustained release of lysozyme for up to 16 days. It shows a potent antibacterial effect toward both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which is even higher than that of free lysozyme in solution at the same concentration. PHIOPs-Lys were demonstrated to effectively inhibit bacterial infections and enhance wound healing in a full-thickness skin wound rat model. This study provides a novel pathway for prolonging the enzymatic activity and antibacterial effects of lysozyme.

Abstract
In recent years, with the widespread use of TiO2-GO nanocomposite in industry, especially in the remediation of water environments, its toxic effects on aquatic organisms have received increasing attention. As molting is extremely important for crustaceans in their growth, in this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA sequences of two key genes related to molting, nuclear hormone receptor E75 (E75) and nuclear hormone receptor HR3 (HR3), in Macrobrachium rosenbergii, examined the gene expression profile, and investigated their toxicological effects on crustacean molting through nanomaterial exposure. The amino acid sequences for E75 and HR3 were respectively determined to encode 1138 and 363 acid residues. Sequence analysis showed that both E75 and HR3 contain a HOLI domain, with the E75 of M. rosenbergii being more closely related to the E75 of Palaemon carinicauda. These two genes were expressed at the highest levels in muscle, followed by hepatopancreas. The results showed that the expressions of E75 and HR3 in hepatopancreas and muscle tissues were significantly decreased after exposure to 0.1 mg/L of TiO2-GO composite nanoparticles (P < 0.05). This study will serve as a foundation for subsequent research into the evaluation of nanomaterial toxicity on crustacean species.

Abstract
PURPOSE Because proton head and neck (HN) treatments are sensitive to anatomical changes, plan adaptation (re-plan) during the treatment course is needed for a significant portion of patients. We aim to predict re-plan at plan review stage for HN proton therapy with a neural network (NN) model trained with patients' dosimetric and clinical features. The model can serve as a valuable tool for planners to assess the probability of needing to revise the current plan. METHODS AND MATERIALS Mean beam dose heterogeneity index (BHI), defined as the ratio of the maximum beam dose to the prescription dose, plan robustness features (clinical target volume (CTV), V100 changes, and V100 > 95% passing rates in 21 robust evaluation scenarios), as well as clinical features (e.g., age, tumor site, and surgery/chemotherapy status) were gathered from 171 patients treated at our proton center in 2020, with a median age of 64 and stages from I-IVc across 13 HN sites. Statistical analyses of dosimetric parameters and clinical features were conducted between re-plan and no-replan groups. A NN was trained and tested using these features. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of the prediction model. A sensitivity analysis was done to determine feature importance. RESULTS Mean BHI in the re-plan group was significantly higher than the no-replan group (p < .01). Tumor site (p < .01), chemotherapy status (p < .01), and surgery status (p < .01) were significantly correlated to re-plan. The model had sensitivities/specificities of 75.0%/77.4%, respectively, and an area under the ROC curve of .855. CONCLUSION There are several dosimetric and clinical features that correlate to re-plans, and NNs trained with these features can be used to predict HN re-plans, which can be used to reduce re-plan rate by improving plan quality.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of toluene is a key reaction to produce high value-added products but remains a big challenge. In this study, we introduce a nitrogen-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) catalyst to create more Ti3+ and oxygen vacancy (OV), which act as active sites for selective oxidation of toluene via activating O2 to superoxide radical (•O2-). Interestingly, the resulting N-TiO2-2 exhibited an outstanding photo-assisted thermal performance with a product yield of 209.6 mmol·gcat-1 and a toluene conversion of 10960.0 μmol·gcat-1·h-1, which are 1.6 and 1.8 times greater than those obtained under thermal catalysis. We showed that the enhanced performance under photo-assisted thermal catalysis was attributed to more active species generation by making full use of photogenerated carriers. Our work suggests a viewpoint to apply a noble-metal-free TiO2 system in the selective oxidation of toluene under solvent-free conditions.

Abstract
It is challenging to achieve high selectivity over Pt-metal-oxide catalysts widely used in many selective oxidation reactions because Pt is prone to over-oxidize substrates. Herein, our sound strategy for enhancing the selectivity is to saturate the under-coordinated single Pt atoms with Cl- ligands. In this system, the weak electronic metal-support interactions between Pt atoms and reduced TiO2 cause electron extraction from Pt to Cl- ligands, resulting in strong Pt-Cl bonds. Therefore, the two-coordinate single Pt atoms adopt a four-coordinate configuration and thus inactivated, thereby inhibiting the over-oxidation of toluene over Pt sites. The selectivity for the primary C-H bond oxidation products of toluene was increased from 50.1 to 100%. Meanwhile, the abundant active Ti3+ sites were stabilized in reduced TiO2 by Pt atoms, leading to a rising yield of the primary C-H oxidation products of 249.8 mmol gcat-1. The reported strategy holds great promise for selective oxidation with enhanced selectivity.

Abstract
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma is the sixth most common cancer in the world, and its incidence rate will continue to increase. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is feasible as a rapid examination for early hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis. However, considering the possible causes of false positives caused by ultrasound, its diagnostic value is still controversial. Therefore, the study conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the application value of CEUS in the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid Technologies (OVID), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chongqing VIP Information (VIP), and Wanfang databases were searched to retrieve articles on the use of CEUS for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. The literature quality assessment was performed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) quality assessment tool. The meta-analysis was performed using STATA 17.0 to fit the bivariate mixed effects model, calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and corresponding 95% CI, summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC), area under the curve (AUC), and 95% confidence interval (CI). The publication bias of the included literature was evaluated using the DEEK funnel plot. Results Ultimately, 9 articles, comprising 1,434 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. The heterogeneity test found that I2>50%, using a random effects model. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the CEUS had a combined sensitivity of 0.92 (95% CI: 0.86-0.95), a combined specificity of 0.93 (95% CI: 0.56-0.99), a combined PLR of 13.47 (95% CI: 1.51-120.46), a combined NLR of 0.09 (95% CI: 0.05-0.14), a combined DOR of 154.16 (95% CI: 15.93-1,492.02), a diagnostic score of 5.04 (95% CI: 2.77-7.31), and a combined AUC of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93-0.97). The correlation coefficient of the threshold-effect analysis was 0.13 (P>0.05). The results of the regression analysis showed that the country of publication (P=0.14) and the size of the lesion nodules (P=0.46) were not sources of heterogeneity. Conclusions Liver CEUS has an advantage in the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, with high sensitivity and specificity, and has clinical application value.

Abstract
Objective: To systematically review the status and factors influencing presenteeism among clinical nurses. Methods: In December 2021, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsyclNFO and other databases were electronically searched to cross sectional studies on the current situation and factors influencing the occurrence of presenteeism among clinical nurses. The search terms mainly included presenteeism, sick at work, Stanford Presenteeism Scale, nurse, level, risk factor, influence, et al. And the search time was from the establishment of the database to November 30, 2021. Literature screening, data extraction and evaluation of the risk of bias in the included literature were done independently by two researchers, and meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.1 software. Results: A total of 29 studies involving 13 535 clinical nurses were included.The results of the meta-analysis showed that the score of presenteeism was 17.99 [95% CI (17.02-18.95), P =0.000]. Subgroup analysis showed that presenteeism scores were higher in articles published before 2020 (ES=19.28, 95%CI: 18.41-20.15, P=0.000) and in the group of nurses aged 36 to 40 years (ES=19.27, 95%CI: 17.35~21.19, P=0.000), female (ES= 17.04, 95%CI: 14.70-19.39, P=0.000), secondary school education (ES=21.01, 95%CI: 17.76-24.26, P= 0.007), married (ES=17.49, 95%CI: 15.13-19.85, P=0.000), working for 5 to 10 years (ES=17.78, 95%CI: 16.54-19.02, P=0.000), contract (ES=17.05, 95%CI: 15.23-18.87, P=0.000), working in pediatrics (ES= 16.65, 95% CI: 15.31-17.99, P=0.000) and European region (ES =21.21, 95% CI: 20.50-21.93, P=0.000) . Conclusion: Current evidence suggests that clinical nurses are at high risk of presenteeism, which is affected by variety of factors. The managers should pay attention to the physical and mental health of nurses, identify high-risk factors as early as possible and take measures to reduce the occurrence of presenteeism and improve the quality of nursing.

Abstract
Background There remains a need to develop effective medical therapies for patients with microscopic colitis (MC) who do not respond, are intolerant, or relapse on budesonide. Conducting randomized trials in MC is logistically and ethically challenging: budesonide is highly effective, and therefore, some institutional review boards have not allowed trials that randomize MC patients to placebo. However, comparing an investigational drug to budesonide is statistically infeasible: powering a non-inferiority study against a budesonide comparator arm with 90% power for a 10% non-inferiority margin would require over 700 subjects, yet fewer than 400 patients have been randomized in all historical MC trials. Therefore, alternative trial designs should be explored in MC, including the use of a historical control arm. Purpose To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the proportion of placebo responders in MC trials that will inform future trials using a historical placebo comparator, and evaluate factors associated with placebo response. Method EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CENTRAL were searched from inception to January 7, 2022, and supplemented with conference abstracts to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using a placebo comparator in adult patients with confirmed MC (either lymphocytic, collagenous, or mixed populations but excluding incomplete MC). The proportion of clinical and histologic responders in the placebo arms were pooled using random-effect models, statistical heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 method, and the Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation was used to compute 95% confidence intervals (CI) using the score statistic and exact binomial method. All analyses were conducted in Stata 17.0. Result(s) Twelve placebo controlled RCTs were included, evaluating a total of 391 patients (163 randomized to placebo). The pooled placebo clinical response rate was 24.4% [95% CI 12.4%, 38.4%] (Figure 1), with substantial heterogeneity (I2=60.8%, p<0.01). The pooled histologic response rate was 19.9% [95% CI: 5.3%, 39.0%], with substantial heterogeneity (I2=66.4%, p<0.01). Subgroup analysis demonstrated higher placebo responses in lymphocytic colitis (39.9% [95% CI: 23.9%, 56.7%]) compared to collagenous colitis (19.8% [95% CI: 5.9%, 37.8%]), but not by allowance of baseline anti-diarrheals. Leave-one-out meta-analysis showed a reduction in heterogeneity after removal of Miehlke et al. 2014 (placebo response 21.0% [95% CI: 11.5%, 32.1%], I2=28.6%, p=0.17). Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) Approximately 1 in 4 patients in MC trials will respond clinically to placebo and 1 in 5 will demonstrate a histologic response, although with substantial heterogeneity. T his highlights the need for standardized outcome definitions in MC trials and can serve to inform a Bayesian prior estimate for future trials that may consider using a historical placebo comparator.

Abstract
Background Small bowel Crohn’s disease (CD) strictures can lead to debilitating obstructive symptoms and the deterioration of quality of life. Imaging modalities such as intestinal ultrasound (IUS) are invaluable in the diagnosis of strictures. The use of IUS in CD is rapidly growing, is cost-effective, easily repeatable, and similar in accuracy to magnetic resonance enterography. Evidence for medical management of fibrostenotic CD has been limited to anti-tumor necrosis factor biologics. Studies on the efficacy of other biologic therapies for strictures such as ustekinumab, a p40/interleukin 12 and 23 inhibitor, are lacking. Purpose The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab in the treatment of small bowel strictures on IUS. Method This retrospective cohort study evaluated the IUS changes of terminal ileal (TI) CD strictures at baseline and 12 months following ustekinumab initiation from 2016 to 2020 at a single tertiary care center. Strictures identified were defined as 1) increased bowel wall thickness (BWT) > 3mm, 2) narrowed luminal apposition, and 3) presence of pre-stenotic dilation (PSD) or the inability to pass the colonoscope through the narrowed area. Changes in sonographic parameters (BWT, luminal size, PSD, length, hyperemia, inflammatory fat, dysfunctional peristalsis) were recorded at baseline prior to initiation of ustekinumab and compared 12 months after treatment. Differences from baseline to 12 months were paired within-person and statistical analysis was performed using paired T-tests for continuous variables and McNemar’s test for categorical variables. Result(s) Of the 18 patients identified, 55% (n = 10) were male, median age was 49 years (Q1-Q3: 33-63 years) at initial scan, with median CD duration of 10 years (Q1-Q3: 8-20 years). The majority of TI strictures were surgically naïve (67%, n = 12). Between pre- and 12-month post ustekinumab therapy scans, there was significant improvement in BWT [8.2 mm vs 7.2 mm, p = 0.048], however there was no significant difference in the presence of peri-enteric inflammatory fat (p = 0.10), mean stricture length (17.7 vs 21.7 cm, p = 0.18), and mean stricture lumen diameter (3.3 mm vs 2.7 mm, p = 0.44) (Table 1). There was also no significant difference in the presence of stricture-associated peri-enteric fat (89% vs 67%, p = 0.10), stricture-associated hyperemia (83% vs 89%, p = 0.65) or dysfunctional peristalsis (50% vs 61%, p = 0.41) (Table 1). Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) Our study is the first to report the efficacy of ustekinumab in small bowel CD strictures using IUS at baseline and 12 months. This study shows that although ustekinumab leads to improvement in overall sonographic appearance of bowel thickness, it does not improve luminal narrowing nor PSD, two hallmark criteria of fibrostenosis. More extensive studies with larger sample sizes evaluating ustekinumab, or combination therapies, are required to identify their role in stricturing CD.

Abstract
PURPOSE The role of radiation therapy in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is poorly defined. The objective of this study was to explore the factors associated with the performance of radiotherapy and to assess its prognostic impact in patients with MALT lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with MALT lymphoma diagnosed between 1992 and 2017 were identified in the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER). Factors associated with the delivery of radiotherapy were assessed by chi-square test. Overall survival (OS) and lymphoma-specific survival (LSS) were compared between patients with and without radiotherapy, using Cox proportional hazard regression models, in patients with early stage as well as those with advanced stage. RESULTS Of the 10,344 patients identified with a diagnosis of MALT lymphoma, 33.6% had received radiotherapy; this rate was 38.9% for stage I/II patients and 12.0% for stage III/IV patients, respectively. Older patients and those who already received primary surgery or chemotherapy had a significantly lower rate of receiving radiotherapy, regardless of lymphoma stage. After univariate and multivariate analysis, radiotherapy was associated with improved OS and LSS in patients with stage I/II (HR=0.71 [0.65-0.78]) and (HR=0.66 [0.59-0.74]), respectively, but not in patients with stage III/IV (HR=1.01 [0.80-1.26]) and (HR=0.93 [0.67-1.29]). The nomogram built from the significant prognostic factors associated with overall survival of stage I/II patients had a good concordance (C-index=0.749±0.002). CONCLUSION This cohort study shows that radiotherapy is significantly associated with a better prognosis in patients with early but not advanced MALT lymphoma. Prospective studies are needed to confirm the prognostic impact of radiotherapy in patients with MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
Background The rapid development and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines has raised concerns surrounding vaccine safety in immunocompromised populations, such as those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Purpose We described adverse events (AEs) following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in those with IBD and determined relationships between AEs to post-vaccination antibody titres. Method Individuals with IBD from a prospective cohort in Calgary, Canada (n=670) who received a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and/or 4th dose of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and/or AstraZeneca) were interviewed via telephone for AEs using the Adverse Events Following Immunization form. Subsequently, we assessed injection site reaction as a specific AE outcome. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibody (anti-S) levels within 1–12 weeks of vaccination and injection site reaction following 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dose vaccination. Models were adjusted for age, sex, IBD type, IBD medications, vaccine type, and prior COVID-19 infection. Additionally, we evaluated the risk of flare of IBD within 30 days of vaccination via chart review. Result(s) Table 1 describes AEs in individuals with IBD following 1st dose (n=331), 2nd dose (n=331), 3rd dose (n=195), and 4th dose (n=100) of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. AEs were reported in 83.3% of participants after 1st dose, 79.1% after 2nd dose, 77.4% after 3rd dose, and 67.0% after 4th dose. Injection site reaction (pain, redness, etc.) was the most common AE (50.8% of AEs), with fatigue and malaise (18.1%), headache and migraine (8.6%), musculoskeletal discomfort (8.2%), and fever and chills (6.5%) also commonly reported. Multivariable logistic regression determined no associations between anti-S concentration and injection site reaction for all doses. Age above 65 years was associated with decreased injection site reaction following 1st and 3rd doses, while female sex and mRNA vaccine type were associated with increased injection site reaction following 1st and 2nd doses. Prior COVID-19 infection, IBD type, and medication class were not associated with injection site reaction with any dose. Only one participant was diagnosed with a severe AE requiring hospitalization: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) following 2nd dose of a Pfizer vaccination. No cases of IBD flare occurred within 30 days of vaccination. Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) AEs following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination are generally mild and become less common with each consecutive dose. Antibody levels following each dose of the vaccine were not associated with injection site reactions. Females, those under 65 years of age, and those administered mRNA vaccines were more likely to experience an injection site reaction. Prior COVID-19 infection, IBD type, and IBD medication class did not predict injection site reactions. Vaccination was not associated with IBD flare within 30 days of vaccination.

Abstract
Background Creeping fat, a form of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) that wraps the intestinal wall, influences the formation of Crohn’s disease (CD) strictures. The degree of fat wrapping from intestinal stricture resections is correlated with the extent of chronic inflammation, fibrosis, stricture formation, and response to biologic therapy. VAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) ratios from CTE (computed tomography) scans are elevated in CD strictures. However, the definition of strictures in these studies has been poorly defined and not included current well-recognized criteria: 1) bowel wall thickness (BWT), 2) narrowed luminal diameter, and 3) pre-stenotic dilation. (PSD). Purpose The objective of this pilot study was to assess the relationship of 2D and 3D VAT:SAT ratios with CT stricture parameters in patients with terminal ileal (TI) CD strictures. Method 2D VAT:SAT ratios from CT’s of CD patients with TI strictures defined as increased BWT, narrowed luminal diameter (< 50% relative to normal adjacent distended loop), and PSD greater than the stricture diameter were retrospectively obtained from a database and chart review. CT’s from fibrostenotic CD patients were sex and BMI matched to patients with only TI inflammatory behaviour. Patient demographics, medication, smoking, and surgical history were also obtained. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, and BMI covariates. Unpaired t-tests and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Result(s) Twenty-eight patients with stricturing CD had a significantly greater mean VAT:SAT volume ratio than 29 non-stricturing CD (41.5 cm3 vs 34.2 cm3, p=0.03). Thirty-six percent (10/28) of CD stricture patients had prior ileocolic resection with a mean disease duration of 13.5 years (range 0-48). The median ileal BWT (7.0 mm, range 4.0-13.0 mm) for the stricturing group was significantly greater than those with inflammatory behaviour (BWT 2.0 mm, p<0.0001). The median luminal diameter and PSD for the stricture group was 2.0 mm (range 0 - 14.0 mm), and 3.0 cm (range 1.0 - 7.3 cm), respectively. Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) Fibrostenotic TI CD patients have increased VAT:SAT ratios in comparison to those with only inflammatory behaviour. These pilot VAT:SAT results provide an initial foundation for further studies to assess its predictive role in responsiveness of medical or surgical therapies in stricturing CD.

Abstract
Background The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a rapidly evolving public health emergency in which mundane behaviors such as grocery shopping or restaurant dining are considered high-risk for some, such as persons with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are often immunodeficient due to medications. Research on the behavioral exposures experienced by populations with IBD during the COVID-19 pandemic are lacking. Purpose We aim to better understand how the behaviors of persons with IBD are associated with COVID-19 diagnoses. Method We conducted a prospective serosurveillance cohort study in Calgary to assess exposure to SARS-CoV-2 from Nov. 1, 2020 to Aug. 8, 2022 in 485 individuals with IBD. A diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 was defined as a molecular-confirmed PCR test, a self-report home antigen test, or a positive nucleocapsid antibody level. Participants completed a self-report electronic questionnaire on social and occupational risk activities stratified across two time periods: Jan. 2020 to Mar. 2020 (before lockdown) and post-Jun. 2020 (post lockdown). Univariate analyses (χ2 and Fischer’s exact if n≤5) were performed on social activities that occurred following the lockdown among those with IBD who were and were not diagnosed with COVID-19. Occupational exposures were compared across essential workers (EW) (i.e., frontline workers at high risk of COVID) and non-EWs. Result(s) Overall, 37.5% (n=182) of our cohort was diagnosed with COVID-19. Seniors were less likely to be infected with COVID-19 (22.7%) compared to those under the age of 65 (40.8%) (p=0.002). A greater proportion of females (42.6 %) compared to males (32.5%) were COVID positive (p=0.02). Those with Crohn’s disease (38.3%) were as likely to test positive for COVID-19 as those with ulcerative colitis (36%) (p=0.65). COVID positive patients were less likely to have 4 vaccine doses (28.5%) compared to those who tested negative (71.5%) (p=0.4). Statistically significant decreases (p<0.001) in engagement post-Jun. 2020 were observed for: bar use (11.6% to 2.1%), visiting a friend (44.5% to 15.2%), having visitors over (38.7% to 12.1%), restaurant dining (38% to 9%), indoor fitness (31.9% to 8.4%), and transit use (11% to 1.3%). There was an increase in regular use of outdoor fitness (31.9% to 67.1%, p<0.003). Persons with IBD who tested positive for COVID-19 were more likely to regularly dine in a restaurant (16.8% vs. 4.7% for COVID negative, p<0.001), engage in indoor fitness activities (14% vs. 5.1%, p<0.001), and travel outside Calgary (21% vs. 11.2%, p=0.004) post-lockdown. Post-lockdown, a greater proportion of EW were COVID positive (50.4%) compared to non-EW (38.6%) (p=0.04). Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) Over a two-year period, two-thirds of our cohort did not test positive for COVID-19. Those with IBD who avoided COVID tended to be older, male, have 4 doses of vaccine, and reduce their risk of exposure through social and occupational modifications, perhaps in response to public health guidance.

Abstract
Background The Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) affect > 270,000 Canadians and are increasing in incidence. Ileal CD has been linked to the overgrowth of mucosal adherent E. coli. Recent studies have also implicated the adherence of Escherichia coli pathobionts to the colonic mucosa of UC patients. Using the representative UC E. coli pathobiont p19A, we recently demonstrated it aggravated chemical-induced colitis in susceptible mice, through the actions of the toxin alpha-hemolysin, and by adhering to the inflamed colonic mucosa via the adhesin FimH. It is less clear what host factors control susceptibility to the UC pathobionts. One of the potential candidates is the glycosylated mucin (Muc2) which forms the mucus layer that covers the colonic epithelium and is often impaired in UC patients. Purpose To define the role of mucus structure and function in determining susceptibility to the p19A pathobiont, and its ability to cause colitis in mice. Method In vitro growth was assessed to test p19A’s ability to utilize mucin-derived sugars as nutrients. Susceptibility to p19A was tested in two mouse models of colonic mucus impairment. The first is a mouse strain deficient in core 1 derived O-glycans in their intestinal epithelial cells (IEC C1galt1-/-), resulting in reduced Muc2 glycosylation, and thus a thin and impaired mucus barrier. The second model involves feeding wildtype (WT) C57BL/6CR mice a fiber-free (FF) diet, resulting in a significantly thinner colonic mucus layer. The mice were subsequently orally gavaged with p19A and their susceptibility determined by p19A burdens, intestinal histopathology, inflammatory cytokine and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. Result(s) When tested in vitro, the p19A pathobiont was found to use an array of mucin-derived sugars as sole carbon source to proliferate. Following oral gavage of WT mice fed a normal diet, immunostaining identified p19A within the colonic mucus but it did not reach the colonic mucosa or cause disease. In contrast, p19A was found at the colonic mucosal surface of mucus-defective IEC C1galt1-/- mice (as compared to IEC C1galt1flox/flox mice) and in WT mice fed a fiber-free diet. This mucosal adherence was associated with increased body weight loss during the course of infection, as well as increased p19A burdens, colonic pathology and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. Especially fiber-free diet-fed mice showed reduced SCFA levels in their feces at baseline. When the mice were given exogenous SCFA (tributyrin) orally, p19A infection was reduced. Conclusion(s) Our results indicate that UC E. coli pathobionts are able to dwell within colonic mucus and utilize mucin sugars as nutrients. Moreover, they can reach the mucosal surface and induce colitis in hosts suffering genetic or diet-based mucus dysfunction. In part, this susceptibility reflects the important role played by mucus in the production of SCFA, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches for patients suffering UC.
