Abstract
Some theories posit a close relationship between social anxiety and problematic social media use; however, empirical findings are inconsistent, and existing hypotheses are conflicting. Hence, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the relationship between social anxiety and problematic social media use. After searching and screening the literature, we identified 53 studies, including 59,928 participants and 56 effect sizes, for analysis. A meta-analysis was subsequently performed using CMA software. Results showed that social anxiety and problematic social media use were highly positively correlated. The moderating effect results suggested that the relationship between social anxiety and problematic social media use was influenced by the measurement instrument, sex, publication year, and platform type; however, the relationship was not moderated by region and age. It is suggested to consider social anxiety in the treatment of problematic social media use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multi-system syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutation in TSC1 or TSC2. Most TSC patients present with cardiac rhabdomyoma or cortical tubers during fetal life, and the symptoms are not uniform as their age. The gene products of TSC1/2 are components of the TSC protein complex and are important role in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) signaling pathway. Based on three members of a family with variable expressivity, the purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical features of TSC in different age groups and to analyze the genetic characteristics of TSC2 gene. METHODS Clinical exome sequencing and co-segregation were used to identify a three-generation family with four affected individuals. HEK-293T cell model was constructed for subsequent experiments. Quantitative RT-PCR, western blotting, and subcellular localization were used to analyze the expression effect of TSC2 mutation. CCK-8 assay, wound healing assay, and cell cycle analysis were used to analyze the function effect of TSC2 mutation. RESULT We identified a TSC family with heterozygous deletion of exon 4 in TSC2 by clinical exon sequencing. Sanger sequencing indicated that the affected individuals have 2541-bp deletion that encompassed exon 4 and adjacent introns. Deletion of exon 4 decreased the TSC2 mRNA and protein levels in HEK-293T cells, and activated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, thereby altering the cell cycle and promoting cell proliferation and migration. CONCLUSION We confirmed the pathogenicity of the large deletion in TSC2 in a three- generations family.. Deletion of exon 4 of TSC2 affected cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle via abnormal activation of the PAM pathway. This study evaluated the pathogenic effect of deletion of exon 4 of TSC2 and investigated the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
CLLU1, a disease-specific gene associated with chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL), is located on chromosome 12q22. Previous studies considered CLLU1 to be a non-coding RNA; however, recent research has discovered that its coding sequence region possesses the potential to encode a short peptide similar to interleukin-4. Remarkably, abnormally elevated expression of CLLU1 has only been detected in chronic lymphoid leukemia among all hematological cancers. High CLLU1 expression often indicates more malignant pathological features and an unfavorable prognosis for patients. Importantly, the expression level of CLLU1 remains unaffected by the passage of time or therapeutic interventions, thus rendering it a novel prognostic marker. This article provides a comprehensive summary of relevant research findings on CLLU1 in the context of CLL prognosis and clinical applications, aiming to guide subsequent theoretical and clinical investigations in this field.

Abstract
In the present study, the aim was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of low-dose venetoclax combined with azacitidine for the treatment of older and frail patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Data of 26 older patients with newly diagnosed AML admitted to Yuyao People's Hospital (Yuyao, China) between January 2021 and May 2023 were retrospectively analysed. The treatment regimens were as follows: Subcutaneous injection of 100 mg azacitidine on days 1-5 and 100 mg oral venetoclax on days 3-16 or 200 mg oral venetoclax on days 3-30. The median age of the 26 patients was 73 years. After the first course of treatment, the complete remission (CR) and CR with incomplete haematological recovery rate was 84.6%, and the objective response rate was 96.2%. The most common adverse events noted during treatment were haematological adverse events including grade 3/4 granulocytosis (57.7%), febrile neutropenia (30.8%), pulmonary infection (32.0%), thrombocytopenia (42.3%) and anaemia (42.3%). A total of 13 (50.0%) patients did not require platelet (PLT) infusion during treatment. The main non-haematological adverse reactions included gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Patients were followed up until December 2023, with a median follow-up time of 9.5 months (range, 1.9-26.0 months). Of the 26 patients, nine (34.6%) patients experienced relapse, with a mean recurrence time of 5.9 months. In conclusion, preliminary results indicated that low-dose venetoclax combined with azacitidine is effective and safe for the treatment of older and frail patients with newly diagnosed AML, providing a new treatment option for these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS This study aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of mothers of school-age children with asthma in care. METHODS A phenomenological study was conducted using qualitative research methods from August 2021 to November 2021. Mothers (from Sichuan, China) of school-aged children with asthma who sought outpatient care at the pediatric asthma clinic were purposively sampled based on their occupation, education level, and duration of their child's illness. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted in consultation room A07 of the pediatric asthma clinic. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. RESULTS 23 mothers expressed interest, but data saturation was reached after recruiting 15 mothers.Four main themes encompassing ten sub-themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Negative psychological burden, with sub-themes including anxiety shock, fear of death, guilt, and stigma. (2) Family dysfunction, with sub-themes including impaired quality of life, family emotional crisis, and heavy economic burden. (3) Difficulty in seeking medical treatment. (4) Active response, with sub-themes including emotional adjustment, family empowerment, and social support. CONCLUSIONS In this sample, the caregiving experience of mothers of school-age children with asthma is diverse and complex, reflected not only in personal psychological aspects but also in family functioning and social support. Taking into account various factors, such as addressing psychological well-being, emphasizing family and social support, and promoting the sharing of positive experiences, may result in more effective alleviation of caregiving stress for mothers of school-age children with asthma.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are safe and economical for grid applications. However, current ZIBs have limitations in terms of inferior capacity and low output voltage, which are hampered by the electrolyte applicability of the Zn2+ hosts. In this study, we propose a novel organic cathode design strategy with a bifunctional potential region. This polymeric Zn2+ host combines the conjugated polyaniline backbone to tune the molecular surface pH and [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox couple for high output voltage and capacity. The polyaniline doped with ferricyanide (PAF) electrode exhibits two forms of charge storage in ZIBs: proton-assisted Zn2+ doping below 1.2 V (mechanism I), and [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox pair above 1.8 V (mechanism II). Density functional theory calculations and in situ pH experiments demonstrated that the H+ doping process of mechanism I forms a localized pH regulation on the molecular chain surface, providing a favorable reaction environment for mechanism II. The Zn-polymer battery delivered an outstanding discharge capacity (405.2 mAh g-1) and high output voltage (1.8 V) in the Zn(CF3SO3)2 electrolyte. This study provides a new route for enhancing the structural stability of electrodes and overcoming the electrolyte limitations of ferricyanide in weakly acidic electrolytes.

Abstract
Excitonic systems, facilitated by optical pumping, electrostatic gating or magnetic field, sustain composite particles with fascinating physics. Although various intriguing excitonic phases have been revealed via global measurements, the atomic-scale accessibility towards excitons has yet to be established. Here, we realize the ground-state interlayer exciton complexes through the intrinsic charge transfer in monolayer YbCl3/graphite heterostructure. Combining scanning tunneling microscope and theoretical calculations, the excitonic in-gap states are directly profiled. The out-of-plane excitonic charge clouds exhibit oscillating Rydberg nodal structure, while their in-plane arrangements are determined by moiré periodicity. Exploiting the tunneling probe to reflect the shape of charge clouds, we reveal the principal quantum number hierarchy of Rydberg series, which points to an excitonic energy-level configuration with unusually large binding energy. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of mapping out the charge clouds of excitons microscopically and pave a brand-new way to directly investigate the nanoscale order of exotic correlated phases.

Abstract
High precision is a very important index in target tracking. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of target tracking, an optimized Kalman filter approach based on improved Gray Wolf algorithm (IGWO-OKF) is proposed in this paper. Since the convergence speed of traditional Gray Wolf algorithm is slow, meanwhile, the number of gray wolves and the choice of the maximum number of iterations has a great influence on the algorithm, a nonlinear control parameter combination adjustment strategy is proposed. An improved Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm (IGWO) is formed by determining the best combination of adjustment parameters through the fastest iteration speed of the algorithm. The improved Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm (IGWO) is formed, and the process noise covariance matrix and observation noise covariance matrix in Kalman filter are optimized by IGWO. The proposed approach is applied into. The experiment results show that the proposed IGWO-OKF approach has low error, high accuracy and good prediction effect.

Abstract
Thrombolytic therapy is one of the most effective treatments for thrombus dissolution and recanalization of blocked vessels in thrombotic diseases. However, the application of the thrombolytic strategy has been limited due to unsatisfactory thrombolytic efficacy, relatively higher bleeding complications, and consequently restricted indications. Recombinant staphylokinase (r-SAK) is a third-generation thrombolytic agent produced by genetic engineering technology, which exhibits a better thrombolytic efficacy than urokinase and recombinant streptokinase. Inspired by the natural affinity of platelets in hemostasis and pathological thrombosis, we developed a platelet membrane (PM)-coated r-SAK (PM-r-SAK). Results from animal experiments and human in vitro studies showed that the PM-r-SAK had a thrombolytic efficacy equal to or better than its 4-fold dose of r-SAK. In a totally occluded rabbit femoral artery thrombosis model, the PM-r-SAK significantly shortened the initial recanalization time compared to the same dose and 4-fold dose of r-SAK. Regarding the recanalized vessels, the PM-r-SAK prolonged the time of reperfusion compared to the same dose and 4-fold dose of r-SAK, though the differences were not significant. An in vitro thrombolytic experiment demonstrated that the thrombolytic efficacy of PM-r-SAK could be inhibited by platelet-poor plasma from patients taking aspirin and ticagrelor. PM coating significantly improves the thrombolytic efficacy of r-SAK, which is related to the thrombus-targeting activity of the PM-r-SAK and can be inhibited by aspirin- and ticagrelor-treated plasma.

Abstract
The precise molecular mechanism behind fetal growth restriction (FGR) is still unclear, although there is a strong connection between placental dysfunction, inadequate trophoblast invasion, and its etiology and pathogenesis. As a new type of non-coding RNA, circRNA has been shown to play a crucial role in the development of FGR. This investigation identified the downregulation of hsa_circ_0034533 (circTHBS1) in FGR placentas through high-sequencing analysis and confirmed this finding in 25 clinical placenta samples using qRT-PCR. Subsequent in vitro functional assays demonstrated that silencing circTHBS1 inhibited trophoblast proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression and promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, when circTHBS1 was overexpressed, cell function experiments showed the opposite result. Analysis using fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that circTHBS1 was primarily found in the cytoplasmic region. Through bioinformatics analysis, we anticipated the involvement of miR-136-3p and IGF2R in downstream processes, which was subsequently validated through qRT-PCR and dual-luciferase assays. Moreover, the inhibition of miR-136-3p or the overexpression of IGF2R partially reinstated proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities following the silencing of circTHBS1. In summary, the circTHBS1/miR-136-3p/IGF2R axis plays a crucial role in the progression and development of FGR, offering potential avenues for the exploration of biological indicators and treatment targets.

Abstract
SUMMARY Immune-related adverse effects can lead to damage to various systems of the body, checkpoint inhibitor-associated pneumonitis (CIP) is one of the potentially lethal immune-related adverse effects. However, evidence regarding the risk factors associated with CIP is limited. To timely and accurate identification and prompt treatment of CIP, understanding the risk factors for multimorbidity among diverse study populations becomes crucial. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 1131 patients with lung cancer receiving immunotherapy to identify 110 patients with CIP, the clinical characteristics and radiographic features of patients with CIP were analyzed. A case-control study was subsequently performed to identify the risk factors of CIP. The median treatment cycle was 5 cycles and the median time to onset of CIP was 4.2 months. CIP was mainly grade I or II. Most cases improved after discontinuation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) or hormone therapy. Severe CIP tended to occur earlier in comparison to mild to moderate cases. The recurrence rate was 20.6% in ICI-rechallenged patients, and patients with relapsed CIP were usually accompanied by higher-grade adverse events than at first onset. Among the 7 patients with relapse, ICI-associated deaths occurred in 2 patients (28.6%). For rechallenging with ICIs after recovery from CIP, caution should be practiced. Male [odds ratio (OR): 2.067; 95% CI: 1.194-3.579; P= 0.009], history of chest radiation (OR: 1.642; 95% CI: 1.002-2.689; P= 0.049) and underlying lung disease (OR: 2.347; 95% CI: 1.008-5.464; P=0.048) was associated with a higher risk of CIP.

Abstract
Seasonal ice cover plays a crucial role in shaping the physical characteristics of lakes in cold and arid regions. Moreover, the ice significantly affects the level and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the water column. We utilized spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to analyze the molecular composition and distribution of DOM in ice cores and under-ice water in Daihai Lake. We identified the main environmental factors affecting DOM migration through structural equation modelling (SEM). The freezing process created a repulsive effect on DOM, with water samples demonstrating a greater DOM content than ice. The dominant part of the DOM in the ice cores was mainly comprised of protein-like materials (71.45 %), whereas water consisted of humus-like materials (54.81 %). The average molecular weight of the ice cover DOM (m/z = 396.77) was smaller than in the under-ice water (m/z = 405.42). While low-molecular and low-aromatic protein-like material tended to be trapped in the ice layer during ice formation, large-molecular and highly aromatic humic substances were more easily expelled into the water. Interestingly, condensed aromatic hydrocarbons were found to occur less frequently in the ice phase (11 %) compared to the aqueous phase (13 %). Both the lipid and protein/aliphatic compound structures exhibited slightly higher ratios in the ice (6 % and 8 %, respectively) than in water (1 % and 5 %, respectively). SEM between the ice cover environment and DOM indicated that the ice can influence the distribution pattern of DOM through the regulation of internal solute factors and other chemicals. The nature of the DOM and the rate of ice growth also play critical roles in determining the distribution mechanism of DOM for ice and water. The pollutant distribution characteristics and migration patterns between ice and water are essential for comprehending environmental water pollution and promoting pollution management and protection measures in cold region lakes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokines are of utmost importance in both the physiological and pathological immune responses of the human body. This study utilized flow cytometry to measure the levels of plasma interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and established their reference intervals, aiming to provide data support for the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases. METHODS According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 728 reference individuals were included in this study from January 2023 to June 2023. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to analyse the distributions of plasma IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-17A. The reference intervals of plasma IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-17A were established by the unilateral percentile method (95th percentile) based on the guidelines of C28-A 3 and WS/T 402-2012. RESULTS In this study, the levels of plasma IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-17A were nonnormally distributed. The concentrations of plasma IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-17A in healthy adults were not significantly different by sex or age (all P > 0.05). Therefore, all the reference individuals were combined into one group, and the reference intervals of plasma IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-17 were established by flow cytometry (IL-2 ≤ 10.25 pg/mL, IL-4 ≤ 9.87 pg/mL, IL-5 ≤ 3.36 pg/mL and IL-17A ≤ 9.46 pg/mL). CONCLUSIONS We first established the reference intervals of plasma IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-17A in healthy adults based on a single-center population in the Jiangsu region in eastern China, which will provide an important reference value for evaluating human immune status and the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases.

Abstract
During the freeze-thaw cycles of ice-covered lakes, DOM undergoes a series of transformations including enrichment, dispersion, and filtration. However, the mechanisms and influence factors on lake pollution processes remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigates the distribution of DOM components and elucidate the role of ice-layer sieving its mechanisms within ice-water-sediments. Study identifies significant variations in the characteristics of DOM, protein-like substances tend to migrate towards the ice layer, while humic-like substances predominantly remain in water. This selective distribution is primarily influenced by the physical and chemical properties of DOM during the freezing process. The ice layer acts as a sieve, allowing smaller molecules such as protein-like substances to pass through more easily, while larger molecules like humic-like substances are retained in the water. Additionally, Temperature plays a pivotal role in affecting the contents of DOM. As the temperature decreases, the solubility of DOM decreases, leading to its precipitation and enrichment in sediments. Conversely, an increase in temperature can facilitate the release of DOM from sediments into the water. Furthermore, high content of total dissolved solids can affect the solubility and stability of DOM, potentially leading to changes in its composition and distribution. These insights provide a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between thermal processes and chemical dynamics within ice-covered aquatic environments. They offered valuable insights into the behavior of organic pollutants in frozen lake systems. The findings have potential implications for environmental management strategies aimed at mitigating the effects of climate.

Abstract
1. Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a gamma-coronavirus, can infect chickens of all ages and leads to an acute contact respiratory infection. This study evaluated the anti-viral activity of palmatine, a natural non-flavonoid alkaloid, against IBV in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) cells.2. The half toxic concentration (CC50) of palmatine was 672.92 μM, the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of palmatine against IBV was 7.76 μM and the selection index (SI) was 86.74.3. Mode of action assay showed that palmatine was able to directly inactivate IBV and inhibited the adsorption, penetration and intracellular replication of IBV.4. Palmatine significantly upregulated TRAF6, TAB1 and IKK-β compared with the IBV-infected group, leading to the increased expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α in the downstream NF-κB signalling pathway.5. Palmatine significantly up-regulated the levels of MDA5, MAVS, IRF7, IFN-α and IFN-β in the IRF7 pathway, inducing type I interferon production. It up-regulated the expression of 2'5'-oligoadenylate synthase (OAS) in the JAK-STAT pathway.6. IBV infection induced cell apoptosis and palmatine-treatment delayed the process of apoptosis by regulation of the expression of apoptosis-related genes (BAX, BCL-2, CASPASE-3 and CASPASE-8).7. Palmatine could exert anti-IBV activity through regulation of NF-κB/IRF7/JAK-STAT signalling pathways and apoptosis, providing a theoretical basis for the utilisation of palmatine to treat IBV infection.

Abstract
AIMS Mapping progressive patterns of structural damage in epilepsies with idiopathic and secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures with causal structural covariance networks and multiple analysis strategies. METHODS Patients with idiopathic generalized tonic-clonic seizures (IGTCS) (n = 114) and secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures (SGTCS) (n = 125) were recruited. Morphometric parameter of gray matter volume was analyzed on structural MRI. Structural covariance network based on granger causality analysis (CaSCN) was performed on the cross-sectional morphometric data sorted by disease durations of patients. Seed-based CaSCN analysis was firstly carried out to map the progressive and influential patterns of damage to thalamus-related structures. A novel technique for voxel-based CaSCN density (CaSCNd) analysis was further proposed, enabling for identifying the epicenter of structural brain damage during the disease process. RESULTS The thalamus-associated CaSCNs demonstrated different patterns of progressive damage in two types of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. In IGTCS, the structural damage was predominantly driven from the thalamus, and expanded to the cortex, while in SGTCS, the damage was predominantly driven from the cortex, and expanded to the thalamus through the basal ganglia. CaSCNd analysis revealed that the IGTCS had an out-effect epicenter in the thalamus, whereas the SGTCS had equipotent in- and out-effects in the thalamus, cortex, and basal ganglia. CONCLUSION CaSCN revealed distinct damage patterns in the two types of GTCS, featuring with measurement of structural brain damage from the accumulating effect over a relatively long time period. Our work provided evidence for understanding network impairment mechanism underlying different GTCSs.

The Patient Health Questionnaire-2 was used to measure depressive symptoms. RESULTS Areas with the highest mean scores for depressive symptoms were in the northeastern, inner central and southwestern regions of China. At the individual level, younger age, male sex, being an only child, Han ethnicity, lower body mass index, more days of exercise, less drinking and smoking behaviours, higher subjective family socio-economic status (SES) and popularity in school were related to fewer depressive symptoms; however, objective family SES and maternal education were not related to fewer depressive symptoms. The school-level variables of public status, psychological activities and psychological courses and province-level variable of higher Human Development Index were associated with fewer depressive symptoms. The effect of psychological courses and activities on depressive symptoms was greater in females. CONCLUSIONS The results showed multilevel factors related to depressive symptoms and emphasised the importance of implementing school-based psychological activities to ameliorate depressive symptoms in Chinese children and adolescents across age and gender.

Abstract
Although treatments for myocardial infarction have advanced significantly, the global mortality due to ischemia and subsequent reperfusion injury remains high. Here, a platelet (PLT) membrane nanocarrier (PL720) that encapsulates L-arginine and FTY720 to facilitate the cascade-targeted delivery of these substances to the myocardial injury site and enable the controlled release of L-arginine and FTY720 is developed. Such an innovative approach shows enhanced cardioprotection through multiple target strategies involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury and late reperfusion inflammation. During the ischemia-reperfusion phase, PL720 targets and accumulates in damaged coronary arteries. PL720 rapidly releases L-arginine, stimulating endothelial cells to produce NO, thereby dilating blood vessels and promoting blood flow recovery, while FTY720's sustained release exerts anti-apoptotic effects. During the late reperfusion inflammatory phase, PL720 is captured by circulating inflammatory monocytes and transported into a deeper ischemic myocardial lesion. PL720 promotes macrophage polarization and accelerates the inflammatory repair. Furthermore, the issue of bradycardia associated with the clinical use of FTY720 is innovatively relieved. Therefore, PL720 is a vascular injury and inflammation dual targeting strategy, exhibiting significant potential for multi-targeted therapy and clinical translation for cardiac injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS) is a serious obstetric complication associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. Prophylactic balloon occlusion (PBO), as an intravascular interventional therapies, has emerged as a potential management strategy for controlling massive hemorrhage in patients with PAS. However, current evidence about the clinical application of PBO in PAS patients are still controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PBO in the management of PAS. METHODS A retrospective cohort study including PAS patients underwent cesarean delivery was conducted in a tertiary hospital from January 2015 to March 2022. Included PAS patients were further divided into balloon and control groups by whether PBO was performed. Groups were compared for demographic characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative parameters, maternal and neonatal outcomes, PBO-related complication and follow up outcomes. Additionally, multivariate-logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the definitive associations between PBO and risk of massive hemorrhage and hysterectomy. RESULTS A total of 285 PAS patients met the inclusion criteria were included, of which 57 PAS patients underwent PBO (PBO group) and 228 women performed cesarean section (CS) without PBO (control group). Irrespective of the differences of baseline characteristics between the two groups, PBO intervention did not reduce the blood loss, hysterectomy rate and postoperative hospital stay, but it prolonged the operation time and increased the cost of hospitalization (All P < 0.05) Additionally, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications, neonatal outcomes, and follow-up outcomes(All P > 0.05). In particular, patients undergoing PBO were more likely to develop the venous thrombosis postoperatively (P = 0.001). However, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PBO significantly decreased the risk of massive hemorrhage (OR 0.289, 95%CI:0.109-0.766, P = 0.013). The grade of PAS and MRI with S2 invasion were the significant risk factors affecting massive hemorrhage(OR:6.232 and OR:5.380, P<0.001). CONCLUSION PBO has the potential to reduce massive hemorrhage in PAS patients undergoing CS. Obstetricians should, however, be aware of potential complications arising from the PBO. Additionally, MRI with S2 invasion and PAS grade will be useful to identify PAS patients who at high risk and may benefit from PBO. In brief, PBO seem to be a promising alternative for management of PAS, yet well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to convincingly demonstrate its benefits and triage the necessity of PBO.

Abstract
Autoreactive B cells are silenced through receptor editing, clonal deletion and anergy induction. Additional autoreactive B cells are ignorant because of physical segregation from their cognate autoantigen. Unexpectedly, we find that follicular B cell-derived autoantigen, including cell surface molecules such as FcγRIIB, is a class of homeostatic autoantigen that can induce spontaneous germinal centers (GCs) and B cell-reactive autoantibodies in non-autoimmune animals with intact T and B cell repertoires. These B cell-reactive B cells form GCs in a manner dependent on spontaneous follicular helper T (TFH) cells, which preferentially recognize B cell-derived autoantigen, and in a manner constrained by spontaneous follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells, which also carry specificities for B cell-derived autoantigen. B cell-reactive GC cells are continuously generated and, following immunization or infection, become intermixed with foreign antigen-induced GCs. Production of plasma cells and antibodies derived from B cell-reactive GC cells are markedly enhanced by viral infection, potentially increasing the chance for autoimmunity. Consequently, immune homeostasis in healthy animals not only involves classical tolerance of silencing and ignoring autoreactive B cells but also entails a reactive equilibrium attained by a spontaneous B cell-reactive triad of B cells, TFH cells and TFR cells.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of ANCA-associated vasculitic neuropathy (VN) and analyze the predictors of treatment outcomes. Methods: Retrospective case series. In all, 652 consecutive patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis were admitted to the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2006 and December 2022. Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 91 patients. Patients were excluded if other known causes of neuropathy were present. Sixty-one patients were eventually enrolled, including 17 with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), 11 with granulomatosis polyangiitis (GPA), and 33 with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Their clinical data were collected and clinical characteristics, VN manifestations, electrophysiological findings (including interside amplitude ratio [IAR]), and treatment outcomes were compared among the three subsets of AAV. Then, factors influencing the treatment outcomes were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 62.1%(18/29) of EGPA, 8.3%(15/180) of GPA, and 13.1%(58/443) of MPA patients. The age at onset and examination was higher in patients with MPA than those with EGPA or GPA (P<0.01). The occurrence of VN was later in patients with GPA than those with EGPA (P<0.01), and the GPA group had fewer affected nerves than the other two groups (P<0.016). The abnormal IARs of motor nerves in lower limbs were more detected in the EGPA than the MPA group (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis suggested that higher Birmingham vasculitis activity score-version 3 (BVAS-V3) (OR=6.85, 95%CI 1.33-35.30) was associated with better treatment outcomes of VN. However, central nervous system involvement was a risk factor for poor treatment outcomes (OR=0.13, 95%CI 0.02-0.89). Conclusions: The clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of VN were slightly different among subsets of AAV. Patients with GPA often presented with polyneuropathy and had fewer nerves affected; mononeuritis multiplex was more common in EGPA than GPA and MPA. Higher BVAS-V3 and central nervous system involvement might predict the treatment outcome of VN.

Abstract
Cholesterol metabolism has important roles in maintaining membrane integrity and countering the development of diseases such as obesity and cancers. Cancer cells sustain cholesterol biogenesis for their proliferation and microenvironment reprograming even when sterols are abundant. However, efficacy of targeting cholesterol metabolism for cancer treatment is always compromised. Here it is shown that CSN6 is elevated in HCC and is a positive regulator of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase 1 (HMGCS1) of mevalonate (MVA) pathway to promote tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, CSN6 antagonizes speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) ubiquitin ligase to stabilize HMGCS1, which in turn activates YAP1 to promote tumor growth. In orthotopic liver cancer models, targeting CSN6 and HMGCS1 hinders tumor growth in both normal and high fat diet. Significantly, HMGCS1 depletion improves YAP inhibitor efficacy in patient derived xenograft models. The results identify a CSN6-HMGCS1-YAP1 axis mediating tumor outgrowth in HCC and propose a therapeutic strategy of targeting non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases- associated HCC.

Abstract
Background. Enteric duplication cysts are rare but can occur in various parts of the gastrointestinal tract, including the pancreas. Most enteric duplication cysts are benign; however, neoplastic transformation has been reported in a few cases, with adenocarcinoma being the most common malignant transformation. Case Presentation. We present an adult with a pancreatic enteric duplication cyst and low-grade mucinous neoplasm. The patient did not exhibit any clinically significant symptoms or physical signs. Imaging revealed a cystic mass in the pancreatic head. Upon pathological examination, the cyst was found to have a bilayered muscular wall with an inner surface lined with pseudostratified mucinous columnar epitheliums. High-power microscopy revealed low-grade dysplasia in epithelial cells. The final pathological diagnosis confirmed an enteric duplication cyst with a low-grade mucinous neoplasm. Conclusion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a low-grade mucinous neoplasm occurring in an enteric duplication cyst in the pancreas. The importance of complete surgical resection and adequate pathological sampling is emphasized to avoid the missed detection of dysplasia or malignancy in these duplication cysts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical intranasal medication is required following functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The optimal particle size of transnasal nebulization aimed at the sinonasal cavities is not conclusive. The current study aims to evaluate the effect of particle size and various surgery scope of middle turbinectomy (MT) on post-full FESS drug delivery to the sinonasal cavities. METHODS Sinonasal reconstructions were performed from post-full FESS CT scans in 6 chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients. Four additional models representing alternative surgery scopes of MT were established from each post-FESS reconstruction for simulation data comparison. Airflow and particle deposition of nebulized delivery were simulated via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and validated through in vitro experiments. The optimal particle sizes reaching a deposition of at least 75% of the maximum in the targeted regions were identified. RESULTS The drug deposition rate onto the targeted regions increased following MT, with the greatest deposition following posterior MT (P-MT). Droplets in the range of 18-26 μm reached a deposition of larger than 75% of the maximum onto the targeted regions. Drug delivery rate in the sinonasal cavities varied significantly among individuals and across different types of MT with varying surgical scopes. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to investigate the effect of various surgery scope on drug delivery by transnasal nebulization to the sinonasal cavities. The findings strongly affirm the vast potential of transnasal nebulization as an effective post-FESS treatment option. Moreover, it emphasizes that the drug delivery process via atomizers to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is highly sensitive to the particle size.

Abstract
Hemorrhoidal disease (HEM) is a common condition affecting a significant proportion of the population. However, the causal relationship between the gut microbiota and hemorrhoids remains unclear. In this study, we employed a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the potential associations between them. In this study, the exposure factor was determined by selecting summary statistics data from a large-scale gut microbiome whole-genome association study conducted by the MiBioGen Consortium, which involved a sample size of 18,340 individuals. The disease outcome data consisted of 218,920 cases of HEM and 725,213 controls of European ancestry obtained from the European Bioinformatics Institute dataset. Two-sample MR analyses were performed to assess the causalities between gut microbiota and hemorrhoids using various methods, including inverse-variance weighting, MR-Egger regression, MR Pleiotropy Residual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO), simple mode, and weighted median. Reverse MR analyses were performed to examine reverse causal association. Our findings suggest phylum Cyanobacteria (OR = 0.947, 95% CI: 0.915-0.980, P = 2.10 × 10 - 3), genus Phascolarctobacterium (OR = 0.960, 95% CI: 0.924-0.997, P = .034) and family FamilyXI (OR = 0.974, 95% CI: 0.952-0.997, P = .027) have potentially protective causal effects on the risk of HEM, while genus Ruminococcaceae_UCG_002 (OR = 1.036, 95% CI: 1.001-1.071, P = .042), family Peptostreptococcaceae (OR = 1.042, 95% CI: 1.004-1.082, P = .029), genus Oscillospira (OR = 1.048, 95% CI: 1.005-1.091, P = .026), family Alcaligenaceae (OR = 1.048, 95% CI: 1.005-1.091, P = .036) and order Burkholderiales (OR = 1.074, 95% CI: 1.020-1.130, P = 6.50 × 10-3) have opposite effect. However, there was a reverse causal relationship between HEM and genus Oscillospira (OR = 1.140, 95% CI: 1.002-1.295, P = .046) This is the first MR study to explore the causalities between specific gut microbiota taxa and hemorrhoidal disease, which may offer valuable insights for future clinical interventions for hemorrhoidal disease.

Measurements of All-Particle Energy Spectrum and Mean Logarithmic Mass of Cosmic Rays from 0.3 to 30 PeV with LHAASO-KM2A. Phys Rev Lett 2024; 132:131002.

Abstract
We present the measurements of all-particle energy spectrum and mean logarithmic mass of cosmic rays in the energy range of 0.3-30 PeV using data collected from LHAASO-KM2A between September 2021 and December 2022, which is based on a nearly composition-independent energy reconstruction method, achieving unprecedented accuracy. Our analysis reveals the position of the knee at 3.67±0.05±0.15 PeV. Below the knee, the spectral index is found to be -2.7413±0.0004±0.0050, while above the knee, it is -3.128±0.005±0.027, with the sharpness of the transition measured with a statistical error of 2%. The mean logarithmic mass of cosmic rays is almost heavier than helium in the whole measured energy range. It decreases from 1.7 at 0.3 PeV to 1.3 at 3 PeV, representing a 24% decline following a power law with an index of -0.1200±0.0003±0.0341. This is equivalent to an increase in abundance of light components. Above the knee, the mean logarithmic mass exhibits a power law trend towards heavier components, which is reversal to the behavior observed in the all-particle energy spectrum. Additionally, the knee position and the change in power-law index are approximately the same. These findings suggest that the knee observed in the all-particle spectrum corresponds to the knee of the light component, rather than the medium-heavy components.

Abstract
Objectives Toxic leadership is increasingly becoming common in the nursing field, but the measurement tools are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to translate the toxic leadership behaviors of nurse managers (ToxBH-NM) scale into Chinese and test its psychometric properties among Chinese nurses. Methods The data for this study were obtained from a cross-sectional survey of 1,195 nurses. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to examine the structural validity of the ToxBH-NM. The following psychometric properties of the scale were assessed: content validity, criterion validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability. Results The Chinese version of the ToxBH-NM (C-ToxBH-NM) scale had two dimensions and 30 items. The correlation coefficients between the scores of each item and the total scores were 0762-0.922 (p < 0.001), and the range of the CR determination values of all the items were 8.610-18.998, with statistical significance (p < 0.001). The total content validity index (CVI) was 0.996, the average CVI was 0.996, and the item-level CVI was 0.875-1.000. Two common factors were identified in the EFA, and 81.074% of the variation was explained cumulatively. The CFA showed that all the fitting indexes reached the standard, and the model fit degree was good. When the Chinese version of the Destructive Leadership Scale was used as calibration, the correlation coefficient was 0.378 (p < 0.001). The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the overall scale were 0.989 and of the two dimensions were 0.969 and 0.987, respectively, with a split-half reliability of 0.966 and test-retest reliability of 0.978. Conclusion The research results show that the C-ToxBH-NM scale has good reliability and validity and can be used to evaluate the severity of toxic leadership behavior among nursing managers.

Abstract
Vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata), a traditional Chinese tea, is rich in flavonoids with various biological activities. Our study found that Vine tea total flavonoids (TFs) treatment reduced the body mass and blood lipid levels and improved the hepatic tissue morphology in mice fed the high-fat diet (HFD). In vivo, TF treatment activated the hepatic adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, initiated autophagy, and regulated the expression levels of proteins for lipid metabolism in those HFD-fed mice. In vitro, TF treatment dramatically reduced the lipid droplets and triacylglycerol content in HepG2 and L02 cells treated with oleic acid (OA). These were associated with the activation of the AMPK/mTOR pathway and autophagy initiation in OA-treated hepatocytes. This phenotype was abolished in the presence of 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor. Our results indicated that the TF activation of AMPK/mTOR leads to the stimulation of autophagy and a decrease in the buildup of intracellular lipids in hepatocytes, showing the potential of TF as a therapeutic agent for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Vine tea, a tea drink, has been consumed by Chinese folk for over a thousand years. The result of this study will provide evidence that vine tea total flavonoids have potential use as a functional material for the prevention and amelioration of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Abstract
Purpose The utility of the EuroQol Group 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been verified; however, knowledge gaps remain concerning predictive performance in cirrhosis. We aimed to identify the optimal threshold for risk stratification and the pronounced domain in the EQ-5D linked to inferior outcomes. Patients and Methods The X-tile project was used to obtain a threshold, considering the composite outcome of 1-year all-cause mortality or readmission. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) was performed to test the non-linear relationship between the EQ-5D utility value and the primary outcome. Six multivariate Cox regression models incorporating EQ-5D utility value and each of the five domains were constructed. Setting/Participants Totally, 420 patients with cirrhosis were recruited. Results The median utility value of the study population was 0.77 and 59.8% reported impairment in minimal one EQ-5D domain. RCS indicated a linear relationship between the utility value and composite inferior outcome. X-tile pinpointed a utility value of 0.59 stratifying populations into high- and low-risk groups based on the outcome. Inpatients with cirrhosis and deteriorated HRQoL (utility value ≤0.59) were at higher risk of death or readmission (adjusted HR: 2.18, P < 0.001). Furthermore, mobility and usual activities were the most pronounced domains associated with composite inferior outcome. Conclusion A utility value ≤0.59 can identify cirrhotic inpatients exhibiting compromised HRQoL and mortality/readmission risk. It is tempting to reverse the decreased HRQoL by applying longitudinal measurements and keeping surveillance on utility value, while interventions appear to mainly focus on improving mobility and usual activities.

Abstract
The combination of ferroptosis and innovative tumor therapy methods offers another promising answer to the problem of tumors. In order to generate effective ferroptosis in tumor cells, iron-based nanomaterials are commonly utilized to introduce foreign iron as a trigger for ferroptosis. However, this usually necessitates the injection of larger doses of iron into the body. These exogenous iron increases are likely to create concealed concerns for symptoms such as liver damage and allergy. Herein, an iron-free radiosensitizer is introduced, oxygen-vacancy-rich MnO2 nanoflowers (ovs-MnO2 ), that promotes ferroptosis and modifies the tumor microenvironment to assist radiotherapy. ovs-MnO2 with enriched oxygen vacancies on the surface induces the release of intracellular free iron (Fe2+ ), which functions as an activator of Fenton reaction and enhances the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species. On the other hand, Fe2+ also triggers the ferroptosis and promotes the accumulation of lipid peroxides. Subsequently, the depletion of glutathione and accumulation of lipid peroxidation in tumor cells leads to the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferroptosis, thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy. The nanoplatform provides a novel strategy for generating novel nanomedicines for ferroptosis-assisted radiotherapy.

Abstract
Objective To analyse the research history, development trends and current status of relevant literature in the field of Kawasaki disease, and to provide the basis for future directions in Kawasaki disease (KD) research. Methods Literature on Kawasaki disease published between January 1974 and December 2022 was searched for in the Web of Science database, and CiteSpace was used to perform visual analyses. Results The search yielded a total of 6950 articles. The number of publications related to Kawasaki disease showed an increasing trend. A collaborative network analysis revealed that the United States, Japan and mainland China were the most influential countries in this field. The University of California system contributed the most publications and the journal with the most publications was Circulation. JW Newburger was an authoritative author in this field. "Coronary artery lesion", "Intravenous immunoglobulin" (IVIG) and "Risk factor" were three prominent keywords. Keyword bursts changed from "TNF" and "IVIG", which focused on aetiology and treatment, to "Long term management", which emphasized the recovery period, and to "Kawasaki-like disease" and "Multisystem inflammatory syndrome" during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Trends of highly cited references indicated that landmark articles in different periods focused on Kawasaki disease guidelines, gene polymorphisms and multisystem inflammatory syndrome caused by the novel coronavirus. Conclusion The aetiology of Kawasaki disease remains unclear, but viral infection is likely to play an important role. The combination of evolving sequencing technologies, large-scale epidemiological investigations and prospective cohort studies is likely to be important in exploring Kawasaki disease and improving its prognosis in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although intrinsic capacity (IC) has been constructed in older populations, whether IC retains the same structure over time has not been formally examined, nor have the factors associated with the changes in IC over time been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to establish that the structure of IC remains unchanged over time by testing its longitudinal measurement invariance and to investigate factors that influence the longitudinal change of IC over time. METHODS Data came from 7,271 participants aged 60 and older from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011 (Wave 1) and 2015 (Wave 3). Bifactor confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to construct IC with its domains, and the longitudinal measurement invariance of IC between Waves was tested. RESULTS Bifactor CFA fitted the data well at both Waves and showed good construct validity. Partial scalar invariance was supported with non-invariant intercepts for delayed word recall, math, and close vision. Decreases in IC were associated with increasing age, being female (-0.030, 95% CI: -0.045, -0.016), living in rural areas (-0.019, 95% CI: -0.030, -0.009), BMI < 18.5 (-0.019, 95% CI: -0.035, -0.003), and hypertension (-0.012, 95% CI: -0.022, -0.001). Increases in IC were associated with higher education (primary school: 0.012, 95% CI: 0.001, 0.024; lower secondary school: 0.023, 95% CI: 0.005, 0.041) and drinking ≥4/week (0.019, 95% CI: 0.003, 0.034). Stratifying the sample by gender, the protective effect of education was observed only in women. CONCLUSIONS The bifactor structure of the IC construct was valid and retained its meaning over time. Longitudinal changes in IC were associated with various sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, and health conditions, confirming the need to monitor IC for timely intervention, particularly in those with risk factors for IC decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still a lack of data on blood lead levels (BLLs) and blood lead levels (BLLs) in healthy children of all ages from 0 to 18 years in China. This study was performed to analyze the BLLs and BCLs in healthy children aged 0-18 years from 2017 to 2022 in urban and rural areas of Henan Province, Central China, as well as their relationships with socio-demographic variables and certain relevant exposure factors. To provide a basis for evaluating public health policy development and exposure risk management. METHODS This was an observational study containing data from 17 prefecture-level cities in Henan, China. Blood Pb and Cd levels were determined using a triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer equipped with an autosampler. We first calculated the concentrations of Pb and Cd elements in participants of different genders, ages and years, and then created visual graphs depicting the distribution of each element in terms of gender, age and year (2017-2022). The rates between different groups were compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher exact test (if applicable). The means were compared by one-way ANOVA, medians were compared with the Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test. Generalized linear models (GLM) were performed to estimate the effects of various factors on blood Pb and Cd concentrations in children. RESULTS We recruited a total of 25,920 children (16,142 boys and 9,778 girls) aged 0.01 to 18.00 years (2.58 (1.00,6.25)). The median of BLLs was 23.48µg/L, around 9.39% of studied children had elevated BLLs. The median of BCLs was 0.66µg/L, around 1.84% of studied children had elevated BCLs. The median blood Pb concentration was higher in boys (23.90µg/L) than in girls (22.75µg/L) (P<0.001). The median blood Pb concentration was highest in the 3-7 years group (24.51µg/L) and the median blood Cd concentration was highest in the 1-3 years group (0.66µg/L) among all age groups. Both BLLs and BCLs were substantially higher in children in 2020-2022 compared to 2017-2019. Rural children had lower BLLs and higher BCLs. The results of the generalized linear model showed that children in households using Oil, coal, pellet or other wood as a fuel for heating, children with higher frequency of exposure to tobacco smoke and beverage intake had significantly increased chances of elevated BLLs and BCLs. CONCLUSIONS Pb and Cd exposure of children in this area is relatively low, but associated risk factors continue to exist in vulnerable populations. This study is the first big data analysis of Pb and Cd in children in Henan, China, and provides baseline information for future research.

Abstract
Active sites, mass loading, and Li-ion diffusion coefficient are the benchmarks for boosting the areal capacity and storage capability of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. However, simultaneously modulating these criteria to achieve high areal capacity in LIBs remains challenging. Herein, MoS2 is considered as a suitable electroactive host material for reversible Li-ion storage and establish an endogenous multi-heterojunction strategy with interfacial Mo-C/N-Mo-S coordination bonding that enables the concurrent regulation of these benchmarks. This strategy involves architecting 3D integrated conductive nanostructured frameworks composed of Mo2 C-MoN@MoS2 on carbon cloth (denoted as C/MMMS) and refining the sluggish kinetics in the MoS2 -based anodes. Benefiting from the rich hetero-interface active sites, optimized Li adsorption energy, and low diffusion barrier, C/MMMS reaches a mass loading of 12.11 mg cm-2 and showcases high areal capacity and remarkable rate capability of 9.6 mAh cm-2 @0.4 mA cm-2 and 2.7 mAh cm-2 @6.0 mA cm-2 , respectively, alongside excellent stability after 500 electrochemical cycles. Moreover, this work not only affirms the outstanding performance of the optimized C/MMMS as an anode material for supercapacitors, underscoring its bifunctionality but also offers valuable insight into developing endogenous transition metal compound electrodes with high mass loading for the next-generation high areal capacity energy storage devices.

Abstract
CL-20 (2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane)-based cocrystals are attractive energetic cocrystals with a potential for high energy and low sensitivity, which account for nearly one-third of energetic cocrystals. The applications of cocrystal explosives require in-depth understanding of their thermal kinetics behaviors. Although thermal kinetics of the decomposition of CL-20-based cocrystals having no melting point have been studied, relevant research of CL-20-based cocrystals having a melting point, which are also the most frequently observed type, is still rare. In this study, the CL-20/MTNP (1-methyl-3,4,5-trinitropyrazole) cocrystal was chosen as a typical CL-20-based cocrystal having a melting point to investigate its thermal kinetics behavior. The thermal decomposition of CL-20/MTNP was identified to be a typical heterogeneous reaction with phase separation before decomposition. Due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between CL-20 and molten MTNP after phase separation, the thermal decomposition behavior of CL-20/MTNP was strongly temperature-dependent. The complex decomposition reaction was separated into its three constituent pathways to simplify the kinetic analysis. On the basis of in-depth understanding of the decomposition process, the best functions of mechanism and kinetic parameters for each process of CL-20/MTNP decomposition were obtained using the model-fitting method. Finally, important thermal safety indicators, such as TMRad and SADT were simulated by combining the established kinetic models. This study provides further insights into the entire reaction process of the CL-20/MTNP cocrystal and would help in its better applications.

Abstract
Sea buckthorn, a traditional medicinal plant, has been used for several years in China for the prevention and treatment of various diseases, a practice closely associated with its significant antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of sea buckthorn flavonoids on vascular endothelial cells in an oxidative stress environment. We isolated and extracted active compounds from sea buckthorn and investigated their impact on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity through the PI3K/AKT-eNOS signaling pathway through a combination of network pharmacology and cellular experiments, elucidating the regulatory effects of these compounds on endothelial cell functions. Three flavonoids, named Fr.4-2-1, Fr.4-2-2 and Fr.4-2-3, were obtained from sea buckthorn. The results of network pharmacology indicated that they might exert their effects by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. In vitro results showed that all three flavonoids were effective in alleviating the degree of oxidative stress in cells, among which Fr.4-2-1 exerted its antioxidant effects by modulating the PI3K/AKT-eNOS pathway. Flavonoids in sea buckthorn can effectively inhibit oxidative stress-induced cellular damage, preserving the integrity and functionality of endothelial cells, which is crucial for maintaining vascular health and function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intramedullary nails are commonly used for the purposes of internal fixation in the repair of tubular bone fractures, allowing for optimal fixation while minimizing intraoperative bleeding, surgical incision size, and associated stress. These nails are thus often utilized to repair hip and peripheral fractures, femur fractures, tibial fractures, humerus fractures, and clavicle fractures. Recent life expectancy increases, rising economic standards, and technological innovations have led to the application of a wider range of materials and techniques in the context of orthopedic device production, further expanding the clinical indications for intramedullary nailing. Despite the growing importance of this technique, there is currently a lack of any bibliometric or visual analyses that provide a robust overview of recent progress in the intramedullary nailing research space. Accordingly, this study was developed to succinctly and comprehensively summarize the current research status and major hotspots in this field through a bibliometric review of major relevant scientific articles focused on intramedullary nailing published in recent years. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this analysis, the top 100 most-cited articles focused on intramedullary nails published between 2018 and 2022 were identified through a search of the Web of Science Core Collection database. Countries, institutions, journals, and other specific parameters associated with these articles were then analyzed using tools including CiteSpace, VOS-viewer, Origin, and SCImago Graphica in an effort to more clearly define the latest trends in the intramedullary nail-related research space. RESULTS The top 3 most-cited articles related to intramedullary nailing over the past five years were "Antibacterial and immunogenic behavior of silver coatings on additively manufactured porous titanium", "Diaphyseal long bone nonunions - types, etiology, economics, and treatment recommendations", and "Epidemiology, treatment, and mortality of trochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures: data from the Swedish fracture register", all of which were published in 2018, respectively exhibiting 93, 83, and 81 citations. Of the 100 most-cited intramedullary nailing-related articles, 38, 20, and 12 were respectively published by researchers from the USA, China, and the UK, while research groups from Italy and Spain each published 7 articles. Four of this field's most highly cited articles were published by individuals affiliated with the US-based University of California System and the University System of Ohio. Of the 15 journals that published the largest number of these top 100 articles, the "Injury International Journal of The Care of The Injured" and the "Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma" published 9 manuscripts each, which was more than any other journal, while the "Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery" and the "Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics" published 7 each. In total, 73 highly cited articles focused on utilizing intramedullary nailing in orthopedic applications. Rozbruch SR from the USA published 3 high-quality articles in this research space, while the Chinese researchers Chang Shi Min, Du Shou Chao, Hou Zhi Yong, and Hu Sun Jun exhibited a total linkage strength of 21 in global interaction analyses. The most common keywords associated with intramedullary nail-related research identified in these analyses included "Hip fracture", "Nonunion", "Limb lengthening", "Proximal humeral fractures", "Additive manufacturing", "Induced membrane", and "Endoprosthetic replacement". Promising areas of potential future research focus may include "Limb reconstruction", "Pediatric deformity", and "Congenital femoral deficiency". CONCLUSIONS This analysis revealed that the highest volume of high-impact research output focused on intramedullary nailing over the past 5 years has been produced by the USA, followed by China and the UK. The most influential journals in this research space were Injury International Journal of The Care of The Injured and the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, while the institutions associated with the most highly cited articles were the University of California System and the University System of Ohio. Intramedullary nailing is commonly utilized to treat intertrochanteric fractures and other tubular bone fractures. In the future, the application of augmented and virtual reality technologies may help shorten the learning curve for orthopedic surgeons and trauma surgeons who are learning intramedullary nailing-related techniques, and the combination of intramedullary nailing with antibacterial drugs, metal alloys, 3D navigation, and sensor devices may help improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Self-healing coatings have shown promise in controlling the degradation of scaffolds and addressing coating detachment issues. However, developing a self-healing coating for magnesium (Mg) possessing multiple biological functions in infectious environments remains a significant challenge. In this study, a self-healing coating was developed for magnesium scaffolds using oxidized dextran (OD), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) doped micro-arc oxidation (MHA), named OD-MHA/Mg. The results demonstrated that the OD-MHA coating effectively addresses coating detachment issues and controls the degradation of Mg in an infectious environment through self-healing mechanisms. Furthermore, the OD-MHA/Mg scaffold exhibits antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic properties, it also promotes bone repair by upregulating the expression of osteogenesis genes and proteins. The findings of this study indicate that the OD-MHA coated Mg scaffold possessing multiple biological functions presents a promising approach for addressing infectious bone defects. Additionally, the study showcases the potential of polysaccharides with multiple biological functions in facilitating tissue healing even in challenging environments.

Abstract
Background and Aims It is demonstrated that lipid metabolism disorders are associated with the reproductive performances of assisted reproductive technology. However, it is little known whether hyperlipidemia is associated with the endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes of patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Methods This was a retrospective analysis involving 554 infertile women undergoing FET. The patients were divided into the hyperlipidemia group (n = 224) and control group (n = 320) based on the levels of serum lipids. The clinical and laboratory indexes between the two groups were compared. Meanwhile, the stratified analysis based on body mass index (BMI) and endometrial preparation protocols was performed. The independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to compare and analyze the data. Results The patients with hyperlipidemia had significantly higher serum lipids levels and BMI and lower clinical pregnancy and implantation rates than those with normal blood lipids (p < 0.05). The impact of hyperlipidemia on pregnancy outcomes was independent of BMI. The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that higher cholesterol was associated with lower pregnancy rate and implantation rate (p < 0.05). Regardless of blood lipid levels, the patients undergoing the hormone replacement therapy (HRT) protocol had higher estradiol levels and lower progesterone levels compared with the stimulated cycles (STC) (p < 0.05). Moreover, the clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate of the HRT protocol were higher than those of the STC, although there was no significant difference between the two. Conclusion Hyperlipidemia especially higher cholesterol has a negative effect on the pregnancy outcomes of the patients undergoing FET. Actively implementing lipid-lowering treatment and the HRT protocol seem more friendly for these patients.

Abstract
Electrical stimulation (ES) is proposed as a therapeutic solution for managing chronic wounds. However, its widespread clinical adoption is limited by the requirement of additional extracorporeal devices to power ES-based wound dressings. In this study, a novel sandwich-structured photovoltaic microcurrent hydrogel dressing (PMH dressing) is designed for treating diabetic wounds. This innovative dressing comprises flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells, a flexible micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) electrode, and a multifunctional hydrogel serving as an electrode-tissue interface. The PMH dressing is engineered to administer ES, mimicking the physiological injury current occurring naturally in wounds when exposed to light; thus, facilitating wound healing. In vitro experiments are performed to validate the PMH dressing's exceptional biocompatibility and robust antibacterial properties. In vivo experiments and proteomic analysis reveal that the proposed PMH dressing significantly accelerates the healing of infected diabetic wounds by enhancing extracellular matrix regeneration, eliminating bacteria, regulating inflammatory responses, and modulating vascular functions. Therefore, the PMH dressing is a potent, versatile, and effective solution for diabetic wound care, paving the way for advancements in wireless ES wound dressings.

Abstract
The presence of trace organic pollutants in the effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) poses considerable risks to aquatic organisms and human health. A large-scale survey of 302 trace organic pollutants in the effluent of 46 Chinese WWTPs was conducted to gain an improved understanding of their occurrence and ecological risks. The survey data showed that 216 compounds in 11 chemical classes had been detected in effluents. The sum concentrations of the trace contaminants in effluent ranged from 1,392 ng/L to 35,453 ng/L, with the maximum concentration of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) recorded as the highest (30,573 ng/L), which was markedly less than the reported 185,000 ng/L for the 38 American WWTPs. The concentration of bisphenol analogs (BPs) was up to 4,422 ng/L, significantly higher than those reported in France, Germany, Japan, Korea, and the U.S. PFASs and BPs were the major pollutants, accounting for 59% of the total pollution. Additionally, a total of 119 contaminants were found to have ecological risks (RQ > 0.01). Among these, 23 contaminants (RQ > 1.0) warrant higher attention and should be prioritized for removal. This study lists valuable information for controlling contaminants with higher priority in WWTP effluent in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 poses a significant threat to patients with comorbidities, such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). China experienced a nationwide COVID-19 endemic from December 2022 to January 2023, which is the first occurrence of such an outbreak following China's widespread administration of COVID-19 vaccinations. METHODS A total of 338 patients with diabetes and CKD combined with COVID-19 infection between December 7, 2022 and January 31, 2023 were included in this study. The end follow-up date was February 10, 2023. Univariate analysis and multivariate Cox analysis were used to analyze risk factors for death. RESULTS During the 50-day median follow-up period, 90 patients in the study cohort died, for a mortality rate of 26.63%. The median age of the study cohort was 74 years, with a male predominance of 74%. During hospitalization, 21% of patients had incident AKI, 17% of patients experienced stroke, and 40% of patients experienced respiratory failure. Cox proportional hazard regression showed that older age, a diagnosis of severe or critically severe COVID-19 infection, incident AKI and respiratory failure, higher level of average values of fasting glucose during hospitalization, UA, and total bilirubin were independent risk factors for death in our multivariate model. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight the critical importance of identifying and managing comorbid risk factors for COVID-19, especially among the elderly, in order to optimize clinical outcomes, even after COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract
Genomic instability arising from defective responses to DNA damage1 or mitotic chromosomal imbalances2 can lead to the sequestration of DNA in aberrant extranuclear structures called micronuclei (MN). Although MN are a hallmark of ageing and diseases associated with genomic instability, the catalogue of genetic players that regulate the generation of MN remains to be determined. Here we analyse 997 mouse mutant lines, revealing 145 genes whose loss significantly increases (n = 71) or decreases (n = 74) MN formation, including many genes whose orthologues are linked to human disease. We found that mice null for Dscc1, which showed the most significant increase in MN, also displayed a range of phenotypes characteristic of patients with cohesinopathy disorders. After validating the DSCC1-associated MN instability phenotype in human cells, we used genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening to define synthetic lethal and synthetic rescue interactors. We found that the loss of SIRT1 can rescue phenotypes associated with DSCC1 loss in a manner paralleling restoration of protein acetylation of SMC3. Our study reveals factors involved in maintaining genomic stability and shows how this information can be used to identify mechanisms that are relevant to human disease biology1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the long-term effects of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) measures on the epidemiological characteristics of common respiratory viruses in preschool children in Henan, China. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study containing data from 17 prefecture-level cities in Henan, China. We analyzed and compared laboratory results and clinical data of preschool children presenting to outpatient clinics for acute respiratory infections (ARTI) after COVID-19 (January 2020-October 2022) and before COVID-19 (December 2017-December 2019). Each year was divided into quarters. The ratio of the odds ratios (ORs) of testing positive for eight respiratory viruses in each year after the pandemic to the prepandemic period was estimated applying a generalized linear model (GLM), using the mean of the positive detection rates in 2018-2019 as a reference. RESULTS A total of 11,400 children were enrolled from December 2017 to October 2022. The number of positive detections for all respiratory viruses decreased in 2020-2022 compared to the average of 2018-2019. Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV), human rhinovirus (hRV), and influenza virus (IFV) accounted for a larger proportion of all detected viruses before COVID-19 pandemic, whereas hRV, human bocavirus (hBoV), and human adenovirus (hAdV) accounted for a significantly larger proportion after COVID-19 pandemic. The positive detection rates of enveloped viruses [IFV, human parainfluenza virus (hPIV), hRSV, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), and human coronavirus (hCoV)] decreased sharply and the seasonal activity of these viruses was weakened, while the positive detection rates of non-enveloped viruses (hRV, hBoV, and hAdV) increased, especially hRV. The conditions described above tended to occur more frequently in boys and children older than 1 year, and they were also more sensitive to the NPIs. CONCLUSIONS NPIs transformed the epidemiological profile of common respiratory viruses among preschool children during the COVID-19 pandemic. To improve the overall public health response to all respiratory viruses, interventions targeting non-enveloped viruses need to be strengthened to mitigate their continued transmission.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the level of readiness for discharge among parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome and to explore the mediating role of parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress between perceived social support and readiness for discharge. DESIGN AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in five large tertiary general hospitals in Hunan, China. Data related to demographics, perceived social support, parenting self-efficacy, parenting stress, and readiness for discharge were collected from 350 parents of children diagnosed with primary nephrotic syndrome. Path analysis was used to determine the mediating roles of parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress in the relationship between perceived social support and readiness for discharge. RESULTS Parents of children with nephrotic syndrome in China experienced low perceived social support, low readiness for discharge, and high parenting stress. Factors influencing readiness for discharge include the child's age, duration of illness, first episode or relapse, parental literacy and marital status. Parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress mediated the effects of the association of perceived social support and readiness for discharge. CONCLUSION Perceived social support influences the readiness of parents of children with nephrotic syndrome. Parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress have a chain mediating effect of the association of perceived social support and readiness for discharge. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS This study emphasizes the mediating role of the psychological state of the child's parents. Nurses should take steps to increase perceived social support and parenting self-efficacy of the child's parents and to reduce parenting stress in order to improve readiness for discharge.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited information exists on the epidemiology, treatment, and burden of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) and defining the optimal course of treatment remains challenging without approved targeted treatments in most countries. Here, we describe the clinical and demographic characteristics, treatments received, and negative health outcomes experienced among patients with PPP in the United States (US) and Germany. METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 2016 and 2021 using data from the US Merative™ MarketScan® Research Database and IQVIA™ German Disease Analyzer. Adult patients with PPP (ICD-10-CM L40.3) were followed from the date of their first qualifying PPP diagnosis and continued until the earlier of disenrollment or end date of database, during which treatment patterns and incidence rates of negative health outcomes were assessed. Treatment patterns included adherence, non-persistence, discontinuation, re-initiation, switching, and combination therapy. RESULTS The prevalence of PPP was 0.005% and 0.065% in the MarketScan database and German Disease Analyzer, respectively, with 1629 and 3866 patients meeting the inclusion criteria. Most patients were female (71.3%, 67.8%), with mean (SD) age of 54.1 (11.7) and 56.9 (14.3) years, respectively. One year post index, most patients received topical treatment (77.4%, 65.3%), but non-persistence and discontinuation were high. Oral and biologic treatments displayed higher levels of adherence, particularly apremilast and tofacitinib among oral treatments and TNF inhibitors and IL-23 inhibitors among biologics. Rates of negative health outcomes were higher among patients not receiving treatment post-index compared with those receiving treatment post-index across both databases, regardless of prior treatment history. CONCLUSIONS Establishing treatment guidelines remains an unmet need for patients with PPP and could improve quality of life by reducing the occurrence of negative health outcomes. The findings from this study may provide insight into the effectiveness of current treatment options for patients with PPP and can be leveraged to support the development of treatment guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nursing translational research (TR) begins with clinical discovery and medical research and leads to clinical application in patients. TR is key to improving nursing quality and developing the nursing profession. However, its development in China remains limited, and the reasons for this are unclear. We aim to enhance the recognition of nursing TR among nursing practitioners in China by exploring their cognition about nursing TR and associated influences. METHODS We distributed an internet-based questionnaire to 683 nursing practitioners between February 13 and March 15, 2023. We analyzed the characteristics and cognition of nursing TR using descriptive statistics, the chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and stepwise logistic regression analysis. The majority (79.65%) of nursing practitioners who responded to the questionnaire were willing to participate in nursing TR. FINDINGS Nursing practitioners with a higher educational level, stronger recognition of the importance of nursing TR, and stronger recognition of transdisciplinary nursing TR were more willing to participate in nursing TR. DISCUSSION The results of this study can accelerate nursing practitioners' willingness to participate in nursing TR. APPLICATION TO PRACTICE We identified strategies to promote TR: provide further education, optimize courses in higher education, disseminate information, provide guidance on the importance of nursing TR, and establish a nursing TR platform with appropriate potential collaborators.

Abstract
The global antibiotic resistance crisis has drawn attention to the development of treatment methods less prone to inducing drug resistance, such as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). However, there is an increasing demand for new photosensitizers capable of efficiently absorbing in the near-infrared (NIR) region, enabling antibacterial treatment in deeper sites. Additionally, advanced strategies need to be developed to avert drug resistance stemming from prolonged exposure. Herein, we have designed a conjugated oligoelectrolyte, namely TTQAd, with a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) backbone, enabling the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under NIR light irradiation, and cationic adamantaneammonium groups on the side chains, enabling the host-guest interaction with curcubit[7]uril (CB7). Due to the amphiphilic nature of TTQAd, it could spontaneously form nanoassemblies in aqueous solution. Upon CB7 treatment, the positive charge of the cationic adamantaneammonium group was largely shielded by CB7, leading to a further aggregation of the nanoassemblies and a reduced antibacterial efficacy of TTQAd. Subsequent treatment with competitor guests enables the release of TTQAd and restores its antibacterial effect. The reversible supramolecular switch for regulating the antibacterial effect offers the potential for the controlled release of active photosensitizers, thereby showing promise in preventing the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria.
