Abstract
We previously reported that loss of function of TYW1 led to cerebral palsy with severe intellectual disability through reduced neural proliferation. However, whether TYW1 loss affects neural differentiation is unknown. In this study, we first demonstrated that TYW1 loss blocked the formation of OHyW in tRNAphe and therefore affected the translation efficiency of UUU codon. Using the brain organoid model, we showed impaired neuron differentiation when TYW1 was depleted. Interestingly, retrotransposons were differentially regulated in TYW1-/- hESCs (human embryonic stem cells). In particular, one kind of human-specific endogenous retrovirus-K (HERVK/HML2), whose reactivation impaired human neurodevelopment, was significantly up-regulated in TYW1-/- hESCs. Consistently, a UUU codon-enriched protein, SMARCAD1, which was a key factor in controlling endogenous retroviruses, was reduced. Taken together, TYW1 loss leads to up-regulation of HERVK in hESCs by down-regulated SMARCAD1, thus impairing neuron differentiation.

Abstract
Monozygotic (MZ) twins are theoretically genetically identical. Although they are revealed to accumulate mutations after the zygote splits, discriminating between twin genomes remains a formidable challenge in the field of forensic genetics. Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) are responsible for a substantial portion of genetic variation, thus potentially serving as promising biomarkers for the identification of MZ twins. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of a pair of female MZ twins when they were 27 and 33 years old to approximately 30 × coverage using peripheral blood on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 Sequencing System. Potentially discordant SNVs supported by whole-genome sequencing were validated extensively by amplicon-based targeted deep sequencing and Sanger sequencing. In total, we found nine bona fide post-twinning SNVs, all of which were identified in the younger genomes and found in the older genomes. None of the SNVs occurred within coding exons, three of which were observed in introns, supported by whole-exome sequencing results. A double-blind test was employed, and the reliability of MZ twin discrimination by discordant SNVs was endorsed. All SNVs were successfully detected when input DNA amounts decreased to 0.25 ng, and reliable detection was limited to seven SNVs below 0.075 ng input. This comprehensive analysis confirms that SNVs could serve as cost-effective biomarkers for MZ twin discrimination.

Abstract
With the growing demand for robots in the industrial field, robot-related technologies with various functions have been introduced. One notable development is the implementation of robots that operate in collaboration with human workers to share tasks, without the need of any physical barriers such as safety fences. The realization of such collaborative operations in practice necessitates the assurance of safety if humans and robots collide. Thus, it is important to establish criteria for such collision scenarios to ensure robot safety and prevent injuries. Collision safety must be ensured in both pinching (quasi-static contact) and impact (transient contact) situations. To this end, we measured the force pain thresholds associated with impacts and evaluated the biomechanical limitations. This measurements were obtained through clinical trials involving physical collisions between human subjects and a device designed for generating impacts, and the force pain thresholds associated with transient collisions between humans and robots were analyzed. Specifically, the force pain threshold was measured at two different locations on the bodies of 37 adults aged 19-32 years, using two impactors with different shapes. The force pain threshold was compared with the results of other relevant studies. The results can help identify biomechanical limitations in a precise and reliable manner to ensure the safety of robots in collaborative applications.

Abstract
AIM To assess the predictive value of T2-weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for determining the pathological grading of solid lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical and imaging data from 153 cases of solid lung adenocarcinoma (82 men, 71 women, mean age 63.2 years) confirmed at histopathology in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2017 to May 2022 were analysed retrospectively. Adenocarcinomas were classified into low-grade (G1 and G2) and high-grade (G3) groups following the 2020 pathological grading system proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. The T2-weighted contrast ratio (T2CR), calculated as the T2 signal intensity of the lung mass/nodule divided by the T2 signal intensity of the right rhomboid muscle was utilised. Two experienced radiologists reviewed the MRI images independently, measured the T2CR, and obtained apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare general characteristics (sex, age, maximum diameter), T2CR, and ADC values between the low-grade and high-grade groups. The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test determined differences in T2CR and ADC values among the five adenocarcinoma subtypes. Receiver characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, along with area under the curve (AUC) calculation, assessed the effectiveness of each parameter in distinguishing the pathological grade of lung adenocarcinoma. A Z-test was used to compare the AUC values. RESULTS Among the 153 patients with adenocarcinoma, 103 had low-grade adenocarcinoma, and 50 had high-grade adenocarcinoma. The agreement between T2CR and ADC observers was good (0.948 and 0.929, respectively). None of the parameters followed a normal distribution (p<0.05). The ADC value was lower in the high-grade adenocarcinoma group compared to the low-grade adenocarcinoma group (p=0.004), while the T2CR value was higher in the high-grade group (p=0.011). Statistically significant differences were observed in maximum diameter and gender between the two groups (p<0.001 and p=0.005, respectively), while no significant differences were noted in age (p=0.980). Among the five adenocarcinoma subtypes, only the lepidic and micropapillary subtypes displayed statistical differences in ADC values (p=0.047), with the remaining subtypes showing no statistical differences (p>0.05). The AUC values for distinguishing high-grade adenocarcinoma from low-grade adenocarcinoma were 0.645 for ADC and 0.627 for T2CR. Combining T2CR, ADC, sex, and maximum diameter resulted in an AUC of 0.778, sensitivity of 70%, and specificity of 75%. This combination significantly improved diagnostic efficiency compared to T2CR and ADC alone (p=0.008, z = 2.624; p=0.007, z = 2.679). CONCLUSION The MRI quantitative parameters are useful for distinguishing the pathological grades of solid lung adenocarcinoma, offering valuable insights for precise lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
In the realm of online social networks, the spreading of information is influenced by a complex interplay of factors. To explore the dynamics of one-time retweet information spreading, we propose a Susceptible-Infected-Completed (SIC) multi-information spreading model. This model captures how multiple pieces of information interact in online social networks by introducing inhibiting and enhancement factors. The SIC model considers the completed state, where nodes cease to spread a particular piece of information after transmitting it. It also takes into account the impact of past and present information received from neighboring nodes, dynamically calculating the probability of nodes spreading each piece of information at any given moment. To analyze the dynamics of multiple information pieces in various scenarios, such as mutual enhancement, partial competition, complete competition, and coexistence of competition and enhancement, we conduct experiments on BA scale-free networks and the Twitter network. Our findings reveal that competing information decreases the likelihood of its spread while cooperating information amplifies the spreading of mutually beneficial content. Furthermore, the strength of the enhancement factor between different information pieces determines their spread when competition and cooperation coexist. These insights offer a fresh perspective for understanding the patterns of information propagation in multiple contexts.

Abstract
Introduction Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is a common upper respiratory disorder in children. Disturbances of gut microbiota have been implicated in AH. However, the interplay of alteration of gut microbiome and enlarged adenoids remains elusive. Methods 119 AH children and 100 healthy controls were recruited, and microbiome profiling of fecal samples in participants was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) was conducted to verify the effects of gut microbiota on immune response in mice. Results In AH individuals, only a slight decrease of diversity in bacterial community was found, while significant changes of microbial composition were observed between these two groups. Compared with HCs, decreased abundances of Akkermansia, Oscillospiraceae and Eubacterium coprostanoligenes genera and increased abundances of Bacteroides, Faecalibacterium, Ruminococcus gnavus genera were revealed in AH patients. The abundance of Bacteroides remained stable with age in AH children. Notably, a microbial marker panel of 8 OTUs were identified, which discriminated AH from HC individuals with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9851 in the discovery set, and verified in the geographically different validation set, achieving an AUC of 0.9782. Furthermore, transfer of mice with fecal microbiota from AH patients dramatically reduced the proportion of Treg subsets within peripheral blood and nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) and promoted the expansion of Th2 cells in NALT. Conclusion These findings highlight the effect of the altered gut microbiota in the AH pathogenesis.

Abstract
As the source of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), inner cell mass (ICM) can form all tissues of the embryo proper, however, its role in early human lineage specification remains controversial. Although a stepwise differentiation model has been proposed suggesting the existence of ICM as a distinct developmental stage, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we perform an integrated analysis on the public human preimplantation embryonic single-cell transcriptomic data and apply a trajectory inference algorithm to measure the cell plasticity. In our results, ICM population can be clearly discriminated on the dimension-reduced graph and confirmed by compelling evidences, thus validating the two-step hypothesis of lineage commitment. According to the branch probabilities and differentiation potential, we determine the precise time points for two lineage segregations. Further analysis on gene expression dynamics and regulatory network indicates that transcription factors including GSC, PRDM1, and SPIC may underlie the decisions of ICM fate. In addition, new human ICM marker genes, such as EPHA4 and CCR8 are discovered and validated by immunofluorescence. Given the potential clinical applications of ESCs, our analysis provides a further understanding of human ICM cells and facilitates the exploration of more unique characteristics in early human development.

This subpopulation of bacteria can escape antibiotic treatment by entering a metabolic status of low activity through various mechanisms, for example, biofilm, toxin-antitoxin modules, the stringent response, and the SOS response. Correspondingly, multiple new treatments are being developed. However, due to their spontaneous low abundance in populations and the lack of research on in vivo interactions between persisters and the host's immune system, microfluidics, high-throughput sequencing, and microscopy techniques are combined innovatively to explore the mechanisms of persister formation and maintenance at the single-cell level. Here, we outline the main mechanisms of persister formation, and describe the cutting-edge technology for further research. Despite the significant progress regarding study techniques, some challenges remain to be tackled.

Abstract
The biological samples of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases are extremely precious. Collecting and preserving these biological samples are helpful to elucidate the mechanisms and improve the level of diagnose and treatment of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. The standardized construction of biobanks for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases is important for achieving these goals. At present, there is very little information on the construction of these biobanks, and the standards or suggestions for the classification and coding of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources, and this is not conducive to the standardization and information construction of biobanks for special oral diseases. This consensus summarizes the background, necessity, principles, and key points of constructing the biobank for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. On the base of the group standard "Classification and Coding for Human Biomaterial" (GB/T 39768-2021) issued by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Biological Samples, we suggest 76 new coding numbers for different of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources. We hope the consensus may promote the standardization, and smartization on the biobank construction as well as the overall research level of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases in China.

Abstract
Objective: To measure the crown conical degree of the remaining maxillary incisors in patients with congenital tooth agenesis, and to analyze the influence of different gene mutations on the crown conical degree of patients. Methods: Whole exome sequencing was performed on 85 patients with congenital tooth agenesis (50 males, 35 females, median age 19 years old) who visited the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 2019 to January 2023. The pathogenic gene was identified. The width of the crowns of the maxillary central and lateral incisors at the incisal 1/3 and gingival 1/3 were measured on the panoramic radiograph, and the ratio was defined as the crown conical degree. The smaller the ratio is, the more likely is the crown to be peg shaped teeth. The control group was matched by age and gender with 85 other patients with intact maxillary permanent incisors who were treated in the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 2019 to January 2023. The conical degree of the tooth agenesis group was compared with the control group by t-test, and the differences in the crown conical degree in different gene mutation groups were compared using one-way analysis of variance, and the multiple comparisons among gene groups were carried out using the LSD method. Results: Among the 85 tooth agenesis patients, the numbers of patients in each gene mutation group were 20 in ectodysplasin A (EDA) group, 8 in ectodysplasin A receptor (EDAR) group, 15 in wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 10A (WNT10A) group, 16 in paired box 9 (PAX9) group, 10 in Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1) group, 10 in low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 6 (LRP6) group, and 6 in bone morphogenetic protein4 (BMP4) group. The number of missing teeth were 1-27, median number 15 among the tooth agenesis patients. There was no significant difference in the conical degree between the left and right homonymous teeth in the congenital tooth agenesis group and the control group (P>0.05). The crown conical degree of maxillary central incisor and lateral incisor in the congenital missing teeth group (0.95±0.24, 0.90±0.22) was significantly smaller than that in the control group (1.12±0.09, 1.13±0.09) (t=-8.50, P<0.001; t=-11.47, P<0.001). In WNT10A mutants, the conical degree of lateral incisors (0.89±0.18) was less than that of central incisors (1.07±0.15)(t=3.68, P<0.001). The conical degree of central incisors and lateral incisors (0.70±0.23, 0.57±0.15) of EDA mutants was significantly lower than that in patients with other gene mutations (P>0.05). Conclusions: Compared with the normal control group, the remaining maxillary central and lateral incisors of the seven gene mutation groups of patients with congenital tooth agenesis all had different degrees of conical crown. Among them, the crown conical degree of maxillary central and lateral incisors of the EDA mutation was the most severe, and the WNT10A mutation affected the maxillary lateral incisors more specifically.

Abstract
Convective transport of drug solutes in biological tissues is regulated by the interstitial fluid pressure, which plays a crucial role in drug absorption into the lymphatic system through the subcutaneous (SC) injection. In this paper, an approximate continuum poroelasticity model is developed to simulate the pressure evolution in the soft porous tissue during an SC injection. This poroelastic model mimics the deformation of the tissue by introducing the time variation of the interstitial fluid pressure. The advantage of this method lies in its computational time efficiency and simplicity, and it can accurately model the relaxation of pressure. The interstitial fluid pressure obtained using the proposed model is validated against both the analytical and the numerical solution of the poroelastic tissue model. The decreasing elasticity elongates the relaxation time of pressure, and the sensitivity of pressure relaxation to elasticity decreases with the hydraulic permeability, while the increasing porosity and permeability due to deformation alleviate the high pressure. An improved Kedem-Katchalsky model is developed to study solute transport across the lymphatic vessel network, including convection and diffusion in the multi-layered poroelastic tissue with a hybrid discrete-continuum vessel network embedded inside. At last, the effect of different structures of the lymphatic vessel network, such as fractal trees and Voronoi structure, on the lymphatic uptake is investigated. In this paper, we provide a novel and time-efficient computational model for solute transport across the lymphatic vasculature connecting the microscopic properties of the lymphatic vessel membrane to the macroscopic drug absorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in gene expression levels during brain development are thought to have played an important role in the evolution of human cognition. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, changes in brain developmental expression patterns, as well as human-specific brain gene expression, have been characterized. However, interpreting the origin of evolutionarily advanced cognition in human brains requires a deeper understanding of the regulation of gene expression, including the epigenomic context, along the primate genome. Here, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) to measure the genome-wide profiles of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac), both of which are associated with transcriptional activation in the prefrontal cortex of humans, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques. RESULTS We found a discrete functional association, in which H3K4me3HP gain was significantly associated with myelination assembly and signaling transmission, while H3K4me3HP loss played a vital role in synaptic activity. Moreover, H3K27acHP gain was enriched in interneuron and oligodendrocyte markers, and H3K27acHP loss was enriched in CA1 pyramidal neuron markers. Using strand-specific RNA sequencing (ssRNA-seq), we first demonstrated that approximately 7 and 2% of human-specific expressed genes were epigenetically marked by H3K4me3HP and H3K27acHP, respectively, providing robust support for causal involvement of histones in gene expression. We also revealed the co-activation role of epigenetic modification and transcription factors in human-specific transcriptome evolution. Mechanistically, histone-modifying enzymes at least partially contribute to an epigenetic disturbance among primates, especially for the H3K27ac epigenomic marker. In line with this, peaks enriched in the macaque lineage were found to be driven by upregulated acetyl enzymes. CONCLUSIONS Our results comprehensively elucidated a causal species-specific gene-histone-enzyme landscape in the prefrontal cortex and highlighted the regulatory interaction that drove transcriptional activation.

Abstract
Objective: To development the prognostic nomogram for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Methods: Two hundred and ten patients pathologically confirmed as MPM were enrolled in this retrospective study from 2007 to 2020 in the People's Hospital of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, the First and Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, and divided into training (n=112) and test (n=98) sets according to the admission time. The observation factors included demography, symptoms, history, clinical score and stage, blood cell and biochemistry, tumor markers, pathology and treatment. The Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the prognostic factors of 112 patients in the training set. According to the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis, the prognostic prediction nomogram was established. C-Index and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model's discrimination and consistency in raining and test sets, respectively. Patients were stratified according to the median risk score of nomogram in the training set. Log rank test was performed to compare the survival differences between the high and low risk groups in the two sets. Results: The median overall survival (OS) of 210 MPM patients was 384 days (IQR=472 days), and the 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival rates were 75.7%, 52.6%, 19.7%, and 13.0%, respectively. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that residence (HR=2.127, 95% CI: 1.154-3.920), serum albumin (HR=1.583, 95% CI: 1.017-2.464), clinical stage (stage Ⅳ: HR=3.073, 95% CI: 1.366-6.910) and the chemotherapy (HR=0.476, 95% CI: 0.292-0.777) were independent prognostic factors for MPM patients. The C-index of the nomogram established based on the results of Cox multivariate regression analysis in the training and test sets were 0.662 and 0.613, respectively. Calibration curves for both the training and test sets showed moderate consistency between the predicted and actual survival probabilities of MPM patients at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. The low-risk group had better outcomes than the high-risk group in both training (P=0.001) and test (P=0.003) sets. Conclusion: The survival prediction nomogram established based on routine clinical indicators of MPM patients provides a reliable tool for prognostic prediction and risk stratification.

Abstract
Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) recently has been shown to be a potential diagnostic tool for adults with bloodstream infections (BSIs); however, its application in children remains obscure. In this study, 76 blood samples of children with suspected BSIs were synchronously detected by traditional blood cultures (BCs) and ddPCRs. Our team validated the diagnostic performance of ddPCR including sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. The 76 pediatric patients from the hematology department (67.1%), the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU, 27.6%), and other departments (5.2%) were enrolled. The positive rate of ddPCR results was 47.9%, whereas that for BC was 6.6%. In addition, the time consumption of ddPCR was shorter, only for 4.7 ± 0.9 h, in comparison with the detection timing of BC (76.7 ± 10.4 h, p < 0.01). The levels of agreement and disagreement between BC and ddPCR were 96.1% and 4.2%, and the negative agreement reached 95.6%. The sensitivity of ddPCR was 100%, with corresponding specificities ranging from 95.3 to 100.0%. In addition, a total of nine viruses were identified by ddPCR. In China, the multiplexed ddPCR first could be a tool for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of children with suspected BSIs and can be an early indicator of the possibility of viraemia in children with immunosuppression.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a critical public health threat. However, the association between intestinal colonization and parenteral infection among pediatric patients has not been elucidated. We collected 8 fecal CRKP strains and 10 corresponding CRKP strains responsible for extraintestinal infection from eight patients who did not manifest infection upon admission to the hospital. Paired isolates showed identical resistance to antimicrobials and identical virulence in vitro and in vivo. wzi capsule typing, multilocus sequence typing, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) indicated high similarity between paired colonizing and infecting isolates. Mutations between colonizing and infecting isolate pairs found by WGS had a distinctive molecular signature of a high proportion of complex structural variants. The mutated genes were involved in pathways associated with infection-related physiological and pathogenic functions, including antibiotic resistance, virulence, and response to the extracellular environment. The latter is important for bacterial infection of environmental niches. Various mutations related to antibiotic resistance, virulence, and colonization that were not associated with any particular mutational hot spot correlated with an increased risk of extraintestinal infection. Notably, novel subclone carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) KL19-ST15 exhibited hypervirulence in experimental assays that reflected the severe clinical symptoms of two patients infected with the clonal strains. Taken together, our findings indicate the association between CRKP intestinal colonization and extraintestinal infection, suggesting that active screening for colonization on admission could decrease infection risk in children. IMPORTANCE Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) causes an increasing number of nosocomial infections, which can be life-threatening, as carbapenems are last-resort antibiotics. K. pneumoniae is part of the healthy human microbiome, and this provides a potential advantage for infection. This study demonstrated that CRKP intestinal colonization is strongly linked to extraintestinal infection, based on the evidence given by whole-genome sequencing data and phenotypic assays of antimicrobial resistance and virulence. Apart from these findings, our in-depth analysis of point mutations and chromosome structural variants in patient-specific infecting isolates compared with colonizing isolates may contribute insights into bacterial adaptation underlying CRKP infection. In addition, a novel subclone of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) was observed in the study. This finding highlights the importance of CRKP active surveillance among children, targeting in particular the novel high-risk CR-hvKP clone.

Abstract
This paper proposes a recursive traffic percolation framework to capture the dynamics of cascading failures and analyze potential overloaded bottlenecks. In particular, compared to current work, the influence of external flow is considered, providing a new perspective for the study of regional commuting. Finally, we present an empirical study to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of our framework. Further analysis indicates that external flows from different regions affect the network. Our work requires only primary data and verifies the improvement of the functional network.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children has become a major public health problem that affects the physical and mental growth of children. OSAS can result in adverse outcomes during growth and development, inhibiting the normal development of the metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune systems. OSAS is characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway, and prolonged obstruction that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation in children. The human microbiota is a complex community that is in dynamic equilibrium in the human body. Intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation induced by childhood OSAS alter the composition of the gut microbiome. At the same time, changes in the gut microbiome affect sleep patterns in children through immunomodulatory and metabolic mechanisms, and induce further comorbidities, such as obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. This article discusses recent progress in research into the mechanisms of OSAS-induced changes in the gut microbiota and its pathophysiology in children.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the sero-epidemiological characteristics of the hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection among hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients in Xinjiang region. Methods: A single-center cross-sectional analysis method was used to select 264 cases of hepatitis B virus infection who were hospitalized in the Center for Infectious Diseases and Liver Diseases of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2021 to January 2022. All patients were tested for HDV Ag, HDV IgM, HDV IgG, and HDV RNA. The infection status of hepatitis D virus was analyzed by grouping according to their clinical type, HBV viral load, and HBsAg level. A paired t-test was used for data with measurement data conforming to normal distribution. A paired rank sum test was used for data that did not conform to normal distribution before and after treatment. Results: A total of 36 cases (13.64%) and 26 cases (9.85%) were positive for HDV serological markers and HDV RNA. According to clinical type grouping, the positive rates of HDV serum markers in patients with chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis B-related cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure were 13.46%, 12.43%, and 20.83%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups (χ2=0.86, P=0.649). The positive rates of HDV RNA were 11.54%, 8.11%, and 20.83%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups (χ2=4.015, P=0.134). According to HBV viral load grouping, the positive rates of HDV serum markers among patients with viral loads <20, 20-2 000, and >2 000 IU/ml were 17.15%, 7.81%, and 6.67%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant among the three groups (χ2=4.846, P=0.089). The positive rates of HDV RNA were 9.47%, 10.94%, and 10%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant among the three groups (χ2=0.113, P=0.945). According to HBsAg level grouping, the positive rates of HDV serum markers in HBsAg<0.05, 0.05~250, and >250 IU/ml were 14.29%, 16.67%, and 10.85%, respectively, and there was no statistically significance between the three groups (χ2=1.745, P=0.418). The positive rates of HDV RNA were 4.76%, 8.77%, and 11.63%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups (χ2=1.221, P=0.543). Clinical outcome, disease course, HBV DNA, serological markers of viral hepatitis, routine blood test, biochemical indicators, coagulation function, and other laboratory indicators were compared between HDV serum marker and/or nucleic acid positive and negative patients, and there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: The positive rate of HDV serological markers and HDV RNA is 13.64% and 9.85%, respectively, at a single center in the Xinjiang region, and there is still a high HDV infection rate among the HBV-infected patients with low levels of viral load and HBsAg.

Abstract
Networks of identical coupled oscillators display a remarkable spatiotemporal pattern, the chimera state, where coherent oscillations coexist with incoherent ones. In this paper we show quantitatively in terms of basin stability that stable and breathing chimera states in the original two coupled networks typically have very small basins of attraction. In fact, the original system is dominated by periodic and quasi-periodic chimera states, in strong contrast to the model after reduction, which can not be uncovered by the Ott-Antonsen ansatz. Moreover, we demonstrate that the curve of the basin stability behaves bimodally after the system being subjected to even large perturbations. Finally, we investigate the emergence of chimera states in brain network, through inducing perturbations by stimulating brain regions. The emerged chimera states are quantified by Kuramoto order parameter and chimera index, and results show a weak and negative correlation between these two metrics.

Abstract
Objectives Although hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an increasing public health problem, there remains limited epidemiological information regarding hvKp infections in children. Here, we conducted a clinical, molecular and phenotypic surveillance of hvKp strains in a pediatric population. Methods Non-repetitive K. pneumoniae (Kp) strains consecutively collected during 2019-2020 were screened for hypervirulence genes (prmpA, prmpA2, iucA, iroB, and peg344) using PCR. Positive strains were further characterized by four phenotypic assays (string test, serum killing assay, siderophore production, Galleria mellonella lethality assay), followed by murine sepsis model to determine virulence in vitro and in vivo. Also, capsular types, sequence types, plasmid replicon types, antimicrobial resistance determinants and susceptibility were analyzed. Results A total of 352 isolates were collected, wherein 83 (23.6%) were hypervirulence genes-positive Kp (hgKp). A significant increase in KPC-2-producing KL47-ST11 among hgKp strains was observed, from 5.3% (1/19) in 2019 to 67.6% (25/37) in 2020 (P<.0001), suggesting the potential dissemination of the hybrid virulence and carbapenem-resistance encoding plasmid among children. Further, hgKp isolates were classified into hvKp (n = 27) and hgKp-low virulence (hgKp-Lv) (n = 56) based on virulence phenotypic assays. In hvKp, diverse genetic clones were observed and K1-ST23 or K2-ST25 strains with sensitivity to multiple antibiotics were prevalent (25.9%, 7/27). Compared with hgKp-Lv, hvKp infection had a higher propensity to involve severe pneumonia (22.2% vs. 12.5%) in elder children and significant higher mortality in mice (P = 0.0086). Additionally, either hvKp or hgKp-Lv infections were mostly healthcare-associated and hospital-acquired (74.1% vs. 91.9%). Conclusions These data suggest that K1-ST23 and K2-ST25 are high-risk clones of hvKp, and the genetic convergence of virulence and carbapenem-resistance is increasing among children. Control measures are needed to prevent the dissemination in clinical settings.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the ability of a T2-weighted (W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics signature to differentiate solid non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) from small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The present retrospective study enrolled 152 eligible patients (NSCLC = 125, SCLC = 27). All patients underwent MRI using a 3 T scanner and radiomics features were extracted from T2W MRI. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model was used to identify the optimal radiomics features for the construction of a radiomics model to differentiate solid NSCLC from SCLC. Threefold cross validation repeated 10 times was used for model training and evaluation. The conventional MRI morphology features of the lesions were also evaluated. The performance of the conventional MRI morphological features, and the radiomics signature model and nomogram model (combining radiomics signature with conventional MRI morphological features) was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Five optimal features were chosen to build a radiomics signature. There was no significant difference in age, gender, and the largest diameter. The radiomics signature and conventional MRI morphological features (only pleural indentation and lymph node enlargement) were independent predictive factors for differentiating solid NSCLC from SCLC. The area under the ROC curves (AUCs) for MRI morphological features, and the radiomics model, and nomogram model was 0.69, 0.85, and 0.90 (ROC), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The T2W MRI-based radiomics signature is a potential non-invasive approach for distinguishing solid NSCLC from SCLC.

Abstract
We report here a hypermucoviscous, New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) and imipenemase 4 (IMP-4) carbapenemases-coproducing Klebsiella variicola isolate obtained from a pediatric patient. This strain was resistant to carbapenems and most other β-lactams. Although hypermucoviscous, this strain possessed attenuated virulence according to serum killing assay and Galleria mellonella infection model. Notably, two copies of blaNDM-1 were contained on two tandem ISCR1 elements and coexisted with blaIMP-4 in a novel hybrid multidrug resistance plasmid. This is the first description of the coexistence of blaNDM-1 and blaIMP-4 in a single plasmid of hypermucoviscous K. variicola. IMPORTANCE As an important member of the Klebsiella pneumoniae complex, Klebsiella variicola is poorly studied as an emerging human pathogen. We, for the first time, report a unique K. variicola isolated from a pediatric patient in China. This isolate exhibited hypermucoviscosity, a classic hypervirulence characteristic of K. pneumoniae, and contained multiple carbapenem-resistant genes, including blaIMP-1 and blaNDM-1. Interestingly, these antimicrobial resistance genes were located on a novel hybrid plasmid, and our results suggested that this plasmid might have been introduced from K. pneumoniae and undergone a series of integration and recombination evolutionary events. Overall, our study provides more insight into K. variicola and highlights its superior capability to acquire and maintain foreign resistance genes.

Abstract
This prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the treatment outcomes of keratinized mucosa augmentation (KMA) on the buccal and palatal/lingual sides of implants in jaws reconstructed after oncological surgery. Forty-two implants in 12 patients whose jaws had been reconstructed with a fibula or iliac bone flap were included. KMA was performed at 3 months after implant placement; this included an apically displaced partial-thickness flap and a free gingival graft (FGG) around the implants to increase the keratinized mucosa width (KMW). Patients were followed up for at least 6 months post-surgery. KMW, shrinkage, and patient pain and discomfort measured on a visual analogue scale were analysed. A histological analysis was performed of tissue epithelium from two patients. The results showed that KMW was >2 mm on both the buccal and palatal/lingual sides during follow-up. Before surgery, histological analysis showed epithelium with no epithelial spikes; normal keratinized epithelial spikes were observed at 8 weeks after KMA. Greater KMW was observed around implants in reconstructed maxillae than around those in reconstructed mandibles (P < 0.001). Patients felt more pain at the donor site than at the recipient site during the first 3 days post-surgery. KMA with FGG was predictable in reconstructed jaws and may help maintain the long-term stability of implants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are extensively involved in tumor development. In-depth researches on cancer-associated lncRNAs provide a theoretical basis for developing prognostic hallmarks and individualized therapeutic targets in breast cancer (BCa). This study aims to detect expression characteristics of LINC00174 in BCa and its biological role in regulating BCa cell phenotypes. PATIENTS AND METHODS LINC00174 levels in BCa and adjacent normal tissues were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The influence of LINC00174 on pathological indicators of BCa was analyzed. In MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells with LINC00174 knockdown, proliferative and migratory abilities were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation and transwell assay, respectively. At last, molecular mechanisms of LINC00174 and its downstream gene miR-1827 in regulating BCa development were explored by Luciferase assay and rescue experiments. RESULTS LINC00174 was upregulated in BCa tissues than adjacent normal ones. High level of LINC00174 predicted advanced tumor staging, high metastasis rate and poor prognosis in BCa. Knockdown of LINC00174 attenuated proliferative and migratory abilities in BCa cells. MiR-1827 was the target gene binding LINC00174, showing a negative correlation between each other. Silence of miR-1827 abolished the regulatory effects of LINC00174 on proliferative and migratory abilities in BCa cells. CONCLUSIONS LINC00174 is upregulated in BCa samples. It is closely linked to tumor staging, metastasis and prognosis in BCa. By negatively regulating miR-1827 level, LINC00174 aggravates the malignant development of BCa.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atherosclerotic plaque characteristics influence the hemodynamic consequences of coronary lesions. This study sought to assess the performance of a machine learning (ML) score integrating coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-based quantitative plaque features for the prediction of ischemia by invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) and impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) by [15O]H2O positron emission tomography (PET).
Methods
This post-hoc analysis of the PACIFIC (Prospective Comparison of Cardiac PET/CT, SPECT/CT Perfusion Imaging and CT Coronary Angiography With Invasive Coronary Angiography) trial included 208 patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent CCTA, [15O]H2O PET, and 3-vessel invasive FFR. Plaque quantification from CCTA was performed using semiautomated software. A boosted ensemble ML algorithm (XGBoost) trained on data from the NXT (Analysis of Coronary Blood Flow using CT Angiography: Next Steps) trial was used to develop a ML score for the prediction of per-vessel ischemia (invasive FFR ≤0.80). The performance of the ML score was evaluated in 551 vessels from the PACIFIC trial for external validation. Thereafter, we assessed the discriminative ability of the ML score for per-vessel impaired hyperemic MBF (≤2.30 mL/min/g).
Results
In total, 138 (25.0%) vessels had ischemia and 195 (35.4%) vessels had impaired hyperemic MBF. CCTA-derived quantitative percent diameter stenosis and low-density noncalcified plaque (LDNCP) volume were higher in ischemic vessels compared with non-ischemic vessels (60.8% vs. 19.9%; and 42.3 mm3 vs. 9.1 mm3; both p<0.001). The ML score demonstrated a significantly higher area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) for predicting ischemia (0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89–0.94) compared with visual stenosis grade (0.84, 95% CI 0.80–0.87; p<0.001). Overall, quantitative percent diameter stenosis and LDNCP volume had greatest feature importance for ML, followed by percent area stenosis, minimum luminal diameter, and contrast density drop (Figure 1). An individualized explanation of ML ischemia prediction is shown in Figure 2. When applied for impaired MBF discrimination, the ML score exhibited an AUC of 0.82 (95% CI 0.78–0.85) and was superior to visual stenosis grade (AUC 0.76, 95% CI 0.72–0.80; p=0.03).
Conclusions
An externally validated ML score integrating CCTA-based quantitative plaque features accurately predicts FFR-defined ischemia and abnormal MBF by PET, outperforming standard visual CCTA interpretation.

Abstract
Objective: To identify age and gender standardized body mass index among children and adolescents and explore their associations with high blood pressure (HBP) in late adolescence. Methods: The current study was based on the Health Promotion Program for Children and Adolescents, school-based surveillance successively conducted from 2012 to 2019 in Suzhou, China. A total of 11 812 children and adolescents aged 16-18 years, who had ≥4 examination records during 2012-2018 and were also involved in a surveillance program in 2019, were included. Latent class growth mixture modeling was used to identify the BMI-Z trajectories in different genders, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between different BMI-Z trajectories and risk of HBP in late adolescence. Results: Six distinct BMI-Z trajectories were determined for both genders:thin, slightly thin,standard, declining, overweight, and obese. Compared with the regular group, the obesity group had 94.0% (OR=1.94, 95%CI: 1.43-2.63) and 107.0% (OR=2.07, 95%CI: 1.33-3.22) increased risk of developing HBP in late adolescence in boys and girls, respectively. However, a neutral association was found between the descending group and HBP in late adolescence. Conclusions: Persistent obesity in children may increase the risk of HBP in their late adolescence. If an obese child restores normal weight before late adolescence, the risk of HBP may reduce.

Abstract
Drug transport and uptake in the subcutaneous tissue receives increasing attention in biomechanical and pharmaceutical researches, as subcutaneous administration becomes a common approach for the delivery of biotherapeutics, such as monoclonal antibodies. In this paper, high-fidelity numerical simulations are used to investigate the mechanisms governing drug transport and absorption in the subcutaneous tissue, which is expressed as a porous medium modeled by Darcy's law. The effects of tissue properties (permeability and porosity), the injection flow rate, and the vascular permeability of lymphatic vessels on the lymphatic uptake are studied. Additionally, an empirical formula for the lymphatic uptake during the injection is developed based on the numerical results. The roles of lymphatic drainage, blood perfusion, osmotic pressure, and the drug binding to the cells and the extracellular matrix in the lymphatic uptake are systematically studied. Furthermore, the drug distribution and absorption in a multi-layered porous medium are investigated to illustrate the effect of heterogeneity of permeability, as the permeability varies over a wide range in different layers of the tissue (such as dermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle). While the interstitial pressure plays an essential role in the mechanisms regulating the absorption of free monoclonal antibodies, the binding and metabolism of drug proteins also affect the drug absorption by reducing the total free monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
The subcutaneous injection has emerged to become a feasible self-administration practice for biotherapeutics due to the patient comfort and cost-effectiveness. However, the available knowledge about transport and absorption of these agents after subcutaneous injection is limited. Here, a mathematical framework to study the subcutaneous drug delivery of mAbs from injection to lymphatic uptake is presented. A three-dimensional poroelastic model is exploited to find the biomechanical response of the tissue by taking into account tissue deformation during the injection. The results show that including tissue deformability noticeably changes tissue poromechanical response due to the significant dependence of interstitial pressure on the tissue deformation. Moreover, the importance of the amount of lymph fluid at the injection site and the injection rate on the drug uptake to lymphatic capillaries is highlighted. Finally, variability of lymphatic uptake due to uncertainty in parameters including tissue poromechanical and lymphatic absorption parameters is evaluated. It is found that interstitial pressure due to injection is the major contributing factor in short-term lymphatic absorption, while the amount of lymph fluid at the site of injection determines the long-term absorption of the drug. Finally, it is shown that the lymphatic uptake results are consistent with experimental data available in the literature.

Abstract
Background The hypoxic environment stimulates the human body to increase the levels of hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit and the number of red blood cells. Such enhancements have individual differences, leading to a wide range of HGB in Tibetans' whole blood (WB). Study Design WB of male Tibetans was divided into 3 groups according to different HGB (i.e., A: >120 but ≤185 g/L, B: >185 but ≤210 g/L, and C: >210 g/L). Suspended red blood cells (SRBC) processed by collected WB and stored in standard conditions were examined aseptically on days 1, 14, 21, and 35 after storage. The routine biochemical indexes, deformability, cell morphology, and membrane proteins were tested. Results Mean corpuscular volume, adenosine triphosphate, pH, and deformability were not different in group A vs. those in storage (p > 0.05). The increased rate of irreversible morphology of red blood cells was different among the 3 groups, but there was no difference in the percentage of red blood cells with an irreversible morphology after 35 days of storage. Group C performed better in terms of osmotic fragility and showed a lower rigid index than group A. Furthermore, SDS-PAGE revealed similar cross-linking degrees of cell membrane protein but the band 3 protein of group C seemed to experience weaker clustering than that of group A as detected by Western Blot analysis after 35 days of storage. Conclusions There was no difference in deformability or morphological changes in the 3 groups over the 35 days of storage. High HGB levels of plateau SRBC did not accelerate the RBC change from a biconcave disc into a spherical shape and it did not cause a reduction in deformability during 35 days of preservation in bank conditions.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Although functional and phenotypic changes of immune cells have been reported, a global understanding of immune responses underlying acute KD is unclear. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing, we profile peripheral blood mononuclear cells from seven patients with acute KD before and after intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and from three age-matched healthy controls. The most differentially expressed genes are identified in monocytes, with high expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, immunoglobulin receptors and low expression of MHC class II genes in acute KD. Single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry analyses, of cells from an additional 16 KD patients, show that although the percentage of total B cells is substantially decreased after therapy, the percentage of plasma cells among the B cells is significantly increased. The percentage of CD8+ T cells is decreased in acute KD, notably effector memory CD8+ T cells compared with healthy controls. Oligoclonal expansions of both B cell receptors and T cell receptors are observed after therapy. We identify biological processes potentially underlying the changes of each cell type. The single-cell landscape of both innate and adaptive immune responses provides insights into pathogenesis and therapy of KD.

Abstract
Nogo-B is an important regulator of tumor angiogenesis. Expression of Nogo-B is remarkably upregulated in multiple tumor types, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we show the transcriptional regulation mechanisms of Nogo-B in liver cancer. In response to hypoxia, expression of Nogo-B significantly increased in HCC tissues and cells. The distal hypoxia-responsive element in the promoter was essential for transcriptional activation of Nogo-B under hypoxic conditions, which is the specific site for hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) binding. In addition, Nogo-B expression was associated with c-Fos expression in HCC tissues. Nogo-B expression was induced by c-Fos, yet inhibited by a dominant negative mutant A-Fos. Deletion and mutation analysis of the predicted activator protein-1 binding sites revealed that functional element mediated the induction of Nogo-B promoter activity, which was confirmed by ChIP. These results indicate that HIF-1α and c-Fos induce the expression of Nogo-B depending on tumor microenvironments, such as hypoxia and low levels of nutrients, and play a role in upregulation of Nogo-B in tumor angiogenesis.

Abstract
Loss-of-function mutations in multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF)-associated genes lead to decreased sperm motility and impaired male fertility. As an MMAF gene, the function of fibrous sheath-interacting protein 2 (FSIP2) remains largely unknown. In this work, we identified a homozygous truncating mutation of FSIP2 in an infertile patient. Accordingly, we constructed a knock-in (KI) mouse model with this mutation. In parallel, we established an Fsip2 overexpression (OE) mouse model. Remarkably, KI mice presented with the typical MMAF phenotype, whereas OE mice showed no gross anomaly except for sperm tails with increased length. Single-cell RNA sequencing of the testes uncovered altered expression of genes related to sperm flagellum, acrosomal vesicle and spermatid development. We confirmed the expression of Fsip2 at the acrosome and the physical interaction of this gene with Acrv1, an acrosomal marker. Proteomic analysis of the testes revealed changes in proteins sited at the fibrous sheath, mitochondrial sheath and acrosomal vesicle. We also pinpointed the crucial motifs of Fsip2 that are evolutionarily conserved in species with internal fertilization. Thus, this work reveals the dosage-dependent roles of Fsip2 in sperm tail and acrosome formation.

Abstract
A main problem in the design of blood-contacting biomaterials has been the deficiency of a systematic understanding of blood-biomaterial interactions and the strategy to modulate blood responses. In this work, different functional groups including carboxyl (COOH), hydroxyl (OH) and zwitterionic sulfobetaine group (⊕N((CH3 )2 )(CH2 )3 SO3-○- , SMDB) were grafted on the poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) film to study how the functional groups modulate blood responses and in terms of interaction with the coagulation system, the complement system, and platelets. The results showed protein absorption and platelet adhesion was stronger on the PBT bearing COOH group than PBT films bearing OH and zwitterionic sulfobetaine groups (total protein (μg/cm2 ): 32.92 ± 5.89 vs. 22.02 ± 1.44 vs. 19.09 ± 1.59; platelet adhesion (/mm2 ): 1,626.7 ± 120.1 vs. 1,395.6 ± 363.3 vs. 1,102.2 ± 373.7), which had a rougher and negatively charged surface, and the coagulation system was inhibited by binding fibrinogen (Fg) and coagulation factors. Meanwhile, PBT-PSMDB showed anticoagulant property and induced platelet activation. As a result, complement formation on these two films were less than PBT bearing OH groups by inhibiting the coagulation system (C3a (ng/ml): 3,745.4 ± 143.9 vs. 3,290.9 ± 249.7 vs. 4,887.9 ± 88.9; C5a (ng/ml): 22.1 ± 2.6 vs. 22.3 ± 1.8 vs. 27.9 ± 2.0). On the other hand, PBT bearing OH groups did not facilitate remarkable platelet adhesion and activation, and had no influence on platelet aggregation, hypotonic shock response, and coagulation system. The above results showed that the blood responses were highly interlinked, and could be modulated by grafting with different functional groups on the biomaterial surfaces. These findings may help identify a strategy to design materials with better hemocompatibility for blood contact, filtration, and purification applications.
