Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is the major limiting factor affecting plant productivity in acidic soils. Al3+ ions exhibit increased solubility at a pH below 5, leading to plant root tip toxicity. Alternatively, plants can perceive very low concentrations of Al3+, and Al triggers downstream signaling even at pH 5.7 without causing Al toxicity. The ALUMINUM-ACTIVATED-MALATE-TRANSPORTER (ALMT) family members act as anion channels, with some regulating the secretion of malate from root apices to chelate Al, which is a crucial mechanism for plant Al resistance. To date, the role of the ALMT gene family within the legume Medicago species has not been fully characterized. In this study, we investigated the ALMT gene family in M. sativa and M. truncatula and identified 68 MsALMTs and 18 MtALMTs, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis classified these genes into five clades, and synteny analysis uncovered genuine paralogs and orthologs. The real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that MtALMT8, MtALMT9, and MtALMT15 in clade 2-2b are expressed in both roots and root nodules, and MtALMT8 and MtALMT9 are significantly upregulated by Al in root tips. We also observed that MtALMT8 and MtALMT9 can partially restore the Al sensitivity of Atalmt1 in Arabidopsis. Moreover, transcriptome analysis examined the expression patterns of these genes in M. sativa in response to Al at both pH 5.7 and pH 4.6, as well as to protons, and found that Al and protons can independently induce some Al-resistance genes. Overall, our findings indicate that MtALMT8 and MtALMT9 may play a role in Al resistance, and highlight the resemblance between the ALMT genes in Medicago species and those in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
In recent years, the pig industry in Xinjiang, China, has been severely impacted by outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), despite vaccination efforts. In this study, we investigated the genetic characteristics of currently prevalent porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strains in the region. We collected 548 samples from animals with suspected PED on large-scale pig farms in Xinjiang. Of these, 258 tested positive for PEDV by RT-PCR, yielding an overall positivity rate of 47.08%. S1 gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were conducted on 23 randomly selected RT-PCR-positive samples. Three endemic strains of PEDV (PEDV/CH/XU/2020, PEDV/CH/XK/2020, and PEDV/CH/XA/2020) were isolated, and their complete genome sequences were analyzed for evidence of genetic recombination. Sequence comparison of the S gene indicated significant variations in the S1 gene of the Xinjiang strains compared to the vaccine strains CV777, AJ1102, and LWL, with 90.2%-98.5% nucleotide sequence identity. Notably, both the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of the S protein showed significant variation. Genetic evolutionary analysis identified the GIIa subtype as the dominant genotype among the epidemic strains in Xinjiang. Recombination analysis revealed inter-subtype recombination events in the PEDV/CH/XK/2020 and XJ1904-34 strains. These findings highlight the extensive genetic variation in the predominant GIIa genotype of PEDV in Xinjiang, which does not match the genotype of the currently used vaccine strains. These data may guide further efforts toward the development of effective vaccines for the control of PED.

Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the survival benefit of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) radical resection based on single cell omics. Methods: This is a retrospective case-series study. ICC single-cell sequencing was integrated from four data sets in the Gene Expression Omnibus Database, with a total of 46 patients undergoing radical resection, to explore the characteristics of the microenvironment. Microarray data of 100 ICC cases was analyzed in the EMBI database with survival data. The infiltration abundance of each epithelial cell cluster was calculated in each microarray data sample using the ssGSEA algorithm. The key epithelial cell cluster associated with poor patient outcomes was explored. The clinical value of key marker genes in this subgroup was studied. Prognostic marker genes were selected using the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards(CoxPH) model. The The CoxPH model was constructed by the target genes and a nomogram was drawn. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to verify the relationship between score and prognosis of patients. The predictive power of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Epithelial cell clusters infiltrated almost exclusively in tumor tissue. The MT2A+ epithelial cell subset was associated with a poorer prognosis for patients with a high invasion abundance and patients characterized by infiltration of this group were defined as antioxidant. After screening marker genes in this cluster using a univariate and multivariate CoxPH model, the following genes were found to be independent prognostic factors: FILPIL, NFKBIA, PEG10, SERPINB5. The CoxPH model was constructed using the four gene expression levels, and the survival rate of patients in the high-risk group was significantly lower than those in the low-risk group (all P<0.05). The constructed nomogram had good discrimination and validity. The ROC curve showed that the predicted area under the curve was 0.779, 0.844 and 0.845 at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. Compared to clinical indicators, the model had better predictive power using the calibration curve and the DCA test. Conclusions: The MT2A+ epithelial cell group may be associated with the prognosis of patients with ICC, and the concept of ICC tissue typing of antioxidant and non-antioxidant types is proposed. The type of antioxidant may predict the poor prognosis of the patients, and postoperative adjuvant therapy and other means could be considered to improve the survival of the patients.

Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a type of primary liver cancer, which has shown an increasing trend in incidence and mortality in recent years, with a poor prognosis. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of ICC currently face the challenges of low detection rate, high mortality rate, poor treatment outcome, and urgently need more in-depth research to promote the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment level. In recent years, ICC diagnosis and treatment related research has made new progress in many aspects, and the knowledge about these new clinical diagnosis and treatment advances should be updated in a timely manner. This article reviewed the latest research results in recent years, summarized some new views on ICC typing, prevention and diagnosis staging that have been proposed recently, as well as the new progress made in surgical treatment and systemic treatment, and briefly discussed the potential of ICC individualized precision treatment and the occurrence of rare complications caused by combined treatment.

Abstract
Maxillofacial soft tissue swelling is a common clinical symptom with various etiologies. While odontogenic space infection is the most common cause, it is crucial not to overlook maxillofacial swellings caused by specific pathogenic infections and other local factors. This paper reports the case of an adult patient with right-sided swelling of his face, persistent oral mucosal ulcers, and recurrent hyperthermia for 30 days. He had received various antibiotics for the initial diagnosis of "right buccal space infection," but the antibiotics did not have any effect on his symptoms. None of the blood tests, histological examinations, bone marrow biopsies, and immune-related tests produced diagnostic findings. A diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection was finally confirmed by biopsy tissue genomics sequencing and quantitative analysis of EBV nucleic acid. In this report, we describe the diagnosis and treatment process for this patient and suggest that facial swelling could be an important clinical symptom of EBV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintenance therapy (MT) for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer remains non-standardized. This study assessed MT effectiveness using a comprehensive approach and identifies prognosis factors inpatients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. METHODS From January 2019 and December 2021, over 6000 patients from six Chinese institutions were retrospectively examined. Patients had recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer and underwent first-line chemotherapy with or without MT. We calculated overall and progression-free survival using Kaplan-Meier analysis, comparing via log-rank test, and conducted Cox regression for prognostic factors. RESULTS Overall, 274 patients were stratified into an MT group (n = 77) and a non-MT group (n = 197). The 3-year OS rates were 52.5 % and 28.0 % for the MT and non-MT groups, respectively. The MT group had significantly enhanced median OS (37 vs. 21 months; HR, 0.43; 95 % CI, 0.30-0.61; P < 0.001) and PFS (21 vs. 14 months; HR, 0.65; 95 % CI, 0.47-0.90; P = 0.014) compared with the non-MT group. No significant differences in efficacy were observed among the various MT regimens, whether PD-1 monoclonal antibody, targeted therapeutic agents, or a combination of both. Extended PFS and OS were observed in patients receiving > 8 MT cycles. Multivariate analyses revealed that oligometastasis, MT, exclusive prior surgery (as opposed to combined surgery and radiotherapy), and extended interval before recurrence were independent OS predictors (P = 0.045, P < 0.001, P = 0.010, and P = 0.005, respectively); oligometastasis, concurrent radiotherapy, MT, and extended interval before recurrence were independent PFS predictors (P = 0.004, P = 0.007, P = 0.009, and P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The MT integration markedly extended PFS and OS in patients diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

Abstract
Recent epidemiological research suggests a possible negative correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, conflicting studies have provided unclear evidence regarding these causal relationships. Therefore, recommending specific prevention and treatment strategies for H. pylori infection and IBD is challenging. We used various antibodies (anti-H. pylori IgG, VacA, and GroEl) related to H. pylori infection as indicators. We acquired relevant genetic variants from public databases within the Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) dataset using IBDs tool variables from 2 different GWAS datasets. We thoroughly examined the data and screened for IVs that fulfilled these criteria. Subsequently, Bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted to predict the potential causality between the 2. To ensure the accuracy and robustness of our results, we conducted a series of sensitivity analyses. Based on our comprehensive MR analysis, no potential causal relationship was observed between H. pylori infection and IBD. Across various methodologies, including IVW, MR-Egger, and weighted median, our findings showed P values > .05. The only exception was observed in the reverse MR analysis using the MR-Egger method, which yielded a P value of < .05. However, because the IVW method is considered the most statistically significant method for MR, and its P value was > .05, we do not believe that a potential causal relationship exists between them. Our sensitivity analysis did not suggest significant horizontal pleiotropism. Although heterogeneity was detected in the analysis of IBD (IIBDGC source) versus H. pylori GroEL antibody levels (MR-Egger, Qp = 0.038; IVW, Qp = 0.043), the results remained reliable because we selected IVW as a random-effects model in our MR analysis method. Based on our MR research, no direct correlation was observed between H. pylori infection and IBD risk. This implies that eradicating H. pylori may not provide substantial benefits in preventing or treating regional IBD, and vice versa. Nevertheless, the use of H. pylori serological index substitution has limitations, and further research using histological diagnosis and additional MR studies is required to comprehensively assess the link between H. pylori infection and IBD.

Abstract
Fibrosis is a typical aging-related pathological process involving almost all organs, including the heart, kidney, liver, lung, and skin. Fibrogenesis is a highly orchestrated process defined by sequences of cellular response and molecular signals mechanisms underlying the disease. In pathophysiologic conditions associated with organ fibrosis, a variety of injurious stimuli such as metabolic disorders, epigenetic changes, and aging may induce the progression of fibrosis. Sirtuins protein is a kind of deacetylase which can regulate cell metabolism and participate in a variety of cell physiological functions. In this review, we outline our current understanding of common principles of fibrogenic mechanisms and the functional role of SIRT3/6 in aging-related fibrosis. In addition, sequences of novel protective strategies have been identified directly or indirectly according to these mechanisms. Here, we highlight the role and biological function of SIRT3/6 focus on aging fibrosis, as well as their inhibitors and activators as novel preventative or therapeutic interventions for aging-related tissue fibrosis.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Conventional antidepressants therapy remains unsatisfactory due to the disadvantages of delayed clinical onset of action and side effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with good efficacy and higher safety have received much attention. Angelicae Sinensis Radix (AS), a well-known TCM, has been proved to exhibit the efficacy of antidepression recently. AIM OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential anti-depressant mechanisms of AS based on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, behavioral experiments, molecular biology techniques, and ultra performance liquid chromatography-triple-time of flight mass spectrometer (UPLC-Triple-TOF/MS) were combined to explore the potential antidepressant mechanisms of AS based on CUMS rat model. RESULTS The results demonstrated that AS could reduce the contents of serum hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis hormones in CUMS rats, including corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol (CORT). In addition, AS regulated the percentage of CD4+ T lymphocytes, the ratio of CD4+/CD8+, and the levels of serum cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, and TNF-α in CUMS rats. Lipidomics showed that 31 lipids were related to depression and AS could regulate the lipid metabolism alteration induced by CUMS, particularly sphingolipid metabolism. Finally, the key proteins in sphingolipid metabolic pathways in hippocampus of CUMS rats could be back-regulated by AS, including serine palmitoyl transferase (SPTLC2), ceramide synthase (CerS2), sphingomyelinase (SPHK1), and neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase). CONCLUSION AS could alleviate NEI network disorder and restore the levels of sphingolipid metabolites and key proteins in CUMS rats. The underlying mechanism by which AS relieved depression-like behavior in CUMS rats may be through modulation of NEI and disturbances in sphingolipid metabolism.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Post-operative bile leakage (POBL) is a serious complication following hepatobiliary surgery, with potentially life-threatening consequences if left untreated. This article presents a successful case of POBL management without surgical intervention. A 31-year-old male, diagnosed with bile leakage before hospitalisation, underwent percutaneous biliary drainage (PTBD) to address bilomas. Follow-up after 3 months indicated biloma atrophy and POBL healing but revealed bile duct stenosis. The patient received a larger biliary drainage tube, and after 1 month, the biloma and tube were removed. A 1-year follow-up confirmed the patient's excellent health. This case underscores the safety and efficacy of PTBD for managing POBL, offering a non-invasive alternative for patients with this complication. PTBD presents a viable treatment option for POBL cases, minimising the need for surgical interventions and their associated risks.

Abstract
The decreasing correlation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images with depth is an unavoidable problem for the depth measurement of the digital volume correlation (DVC) based optical coherence elastography (OCE) method. We propose an OCE-DVC method to characterize biological tissue deformation in deeper regions. The method proposes a strategy based on reliability layer guided displacement tracking to achieve the OCE-DVC method for the deformation measurement in deep regions of OCT images. Parallel computing solves the computational burden associated with the OCE-DVC method. The layer-by-layer adaptive data reading methods are used to guarantee the parallel computing of high-resolution OCT images. The proposed method shown in this study nearly doubles the depth of quantitative characterization of displacement and strain. At this depth, the standard deviation of displacement and strain measurements is reduced by nearly 78%. Under nonuniform deformation field, OCE-DVC method tracked the displacement with large strain gradient in depth region.

Abstract
A simple, fast, and visual method for detecting antibodies against peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) using colloidal gold strips was developed. In this study, the pET-32a-N was transformed into Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) for expression. Hybridoma cell lines were generated by fusing SP2/0 myeloma cells with splenocytes from immunized mice with the expressed and purified N protein of PPRV. The PPRV N protein was labeled with colloidal gold particles as the gold-labeled antigen. The N protein served as the gold standard antigen and as the test (T) line-coated antigen, while the monoclonal antibody served as the quality control (C) line-coated antibody to assemble the colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips for detecting antibodies against the N protein of PPRV. Hybridoma cell line designated as 1F1 was able to stably secrete the monoclonal antibody against the N protein of PPRV. The titer of 1F1 monoclonal antibody in ascites was 1:128 000 determined by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and the immunoglobulin subtype of the monoclonal antibody was IgG1, with kappa chain. The obtained monoclonal antibody was able to specifically recognize the N protein of PPRV, as shown by Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA). The developed colloidal gold test strip method was able to detect PPRV antibodies specifically, and there was no difference between different batches of the test strips. Testing of a total of 122 clinical sera showed that the compliance rate of the test strip with ELISA test was 97.6%.The test strip assay developed in this study has good specificity, reproducibility, and sensitivity, and it can be used for the rapid detection of PPRV antibodies.

Abstract
The present challenge in dental pulp tissue engineering scaffold materials lies in the development of tissue-specific scaffolds that are conducive to an optimal regenerative microenvironment and capable of accommodating intricate root canal systems. This study utilized porcine dental pulp to derive the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) via appropriate decellularization protocols. The resultant dECM was dissolved in an acid pepsin solution to form dECM hydrogels. The analysis encompassed evaluating the microstructure and rheological properties of dECM hydrogels and evaluated their biological properties, including in vitro cell viability, proliferation, migration, tube formation, odontogenic, and neurogenic differentiation. Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel served as the control. Subsequently, hydrogels were injected into treated dentin matrix tubes and transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice to regenerate dental pulp tissue in vivo. The results showed that dECM hydrogels exhibited exceptional injectability and responsiveness to physiological temperature. It supported the survival, odontogenic, and neurogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells in a 3D culture setting. Moreover, it exhibited a superior ability to promote cell migration and angiogenesis compared to GelMA hydrogel in vitro. Additionally, the dECM hydrogel demonstrated the capability to regenerate pulp-like tissue with abundant blood vessels and a fully formed odontoblast-like cell layer in vivo. These findings highlight the potential of porcine dental pulp dECM hydrogel as a specialized scaffold material for dental pulp regeneration.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab as a maintenance treatment after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) . Methods: The clinical data, hematological and renal response, and safety of 15 post-transplant patients with NDMM who had received daratumumab maintenance between May 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Fifteen patients (11 males and 4 females) with a median age of 58 (41-72) years were included. Thirteen patients did not receive daratumumab during induction therapy and auto-HSCT, 6 patients had renal impairment, and nine patients had high-risk cytogenetics. The median infusion of daratumumab was 12 (6-17) times, and the median duration of maintenance was 6 (1.5-12) months. The treatment efficacy was evaluated in all 15 patients, and daratumumab maintenance therapy increased the rate of stringent complete response from 40% to 60%. The renal response rate and median estimated glomerular filtration rate of six patients with RI-NDMM were also improved. During daratumumab maintenance therapy, the most common hematological grade 3 adverse event (AE) was lymphopenia [4 of 15 patients (26.67%) ], whereas the most common nonhematologic AEs were infusion-related reactions [7 of 15 patients (46.67%) ] and grade 3 pneumonia [5 of 15 patients (33.33%) ]. The five patients with pneumonia were daratumumab naive [5 of 13 patients (38.46%) ], with a median of 8 (6-10) infusions. Among them, the chest computed tomography of three patients showed interstitial infiltrates, and treatment with methylprednisolone was effective. With a median follow-up of 12 months, the 1-year overall survival rate was 93.33%, and only one patient died (which was not related to daratumumab treatment) . Conclusions: Daratumumab was safe and effective as a maintenance agent for post-auto-HSCT patients with NDMM, and AEs were controllable. The most common nonhematologic AE was grade 3 pneumonia, and a less dose-intense maintenance regimen for the first 8 weeks could reduce the incidence of pneumonia.

Abstract
Two new and six known ent-pimaranes were isolated from Flickingeria fimbriata. One of them possesses a rare carbon skeleton. It is the first time such a compound with this specific carbon skeleton has been isolated from a natural source. The structure and absolute configuration were determined by NMR, MS, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The biosynthetic pathway of the rare skeleton was proposed and suggested a new pathway for these nor-ent-pimarane analogues. All isolated compounds were screened for inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The compound 4 exhibits potent inhibitory effect on AChE with the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) being 5.8 μM, which is close to that of the positive control (Huperzine A). This is the first report about inhibitory activity on AChE of ent-pimaranes.

BACKGROUND Femoral neck system (FNS) is a new type of internal fixation system which has been widely used for treating femoral neck fractures (FNFs).Compared with other internal fixation methods, FNS is minimally invasive and stable, and often achieves satisfactory short-term efficacy.Early failure of FNS (EFFNS) is not uncommon, however, there are few literatures and reports on factors associated with EFFNS.This study aimed to survey the prevalence and risk factors of EFFNS. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 62 patients with FNFs and underwent FNS fixation between 2019 and 2021. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, radiographic features and treatment process were described. Multifactor logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the different influencing factors. RESULTS Out of the 62 FNFs patients, 10 patients (16.1%) developed EFFNS, including 6 cases of severe femoral neck shortening, 2 cases of screw-out, 1 case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head and 1 case of nonunion. In the failure group, all patients were younger than 65 years old, which was significantly higher than 59.6% in the healing group (P = 0.012). There were no significant differences in sex(P = 0.490), BMI (P = 0.709), injured side (P = 0.312), injury mechanism (P = 0.617), reduction method(P = 0.570),femoral neck-shaft angle(P = 0.545), Pauwels classification (P = 0.564) and Garden classification (P = 0.195). Moreover, we not found that Garden classification (P = 0.464) and age (P = 0.128) were statistically significant risk factors for EFFNS at multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION In this study, sex, BMI, injury side, injury mechanism, reduction method, Pauwels angle, femoral neck-shift angle, Pauwels classification and Garden classification were excluded as EFFNS risk factors. Moreover, our study demonstrated that age and Garden classification were not significant risk factors at multivariate analysis. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR, ChiCTR2100051360.

Abstract
Cytosine base editors (CBEs), which enable precise C-to-T substitutions, have been restricted by potential safety risks, including DNA off-target edits, RNA off-target edits and additional genotoxicity such as DNA damages induced by double-strand breaks (DSBs). Though DNA and RNA off-target edits have been ameliorated via various strategies, evaluation and minimization of DSB-associated DNA damage risks for most CBEs remain to be resolved. Here we demonstrate that YE1, an engineered CBE variant with minimized DNA and RNA off-target edits, could induce prominent DSB-associated DNA damage risks, manifested as γH2AX accumulation in human cells. We then perform deaminase engineering for two deaminases lamprey LjCDA1 and human APOBEC3A, and generate divergent CBE variants with eliminated DSB-associated DNA damage risks, in addition to minimized DNA/RNA off-target edits. Furthermore, the editing scopes and sequence preferences of APOBEC3A-derived CBEs could be further diversified by internal fusion strategy. Taken together, this study provides updated evaluation platform for DSB-associated DNA damage risks of CBEs and further generates a series of safer toolkits with diversified editing signatures to expand their applications.

Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes a very devastating disease in sheep and goats. Rapid diagnosis and immunisation have been identified as key strategies for successful prevention of the disease. Therefore, a sensitive fluorescent microsphere immunochromatography test strips (FM-ICTS) was developed for rapid detection of special antibodies of PPRV in goats and sheep serum. The FM-ICTS were successfully prepared by fluorescent microspheres (FM) as tracer, which were covalently coupled to PPRV nucleocapsid protein (NP). The NP and monoclonal antibody of NP were separately dispensed onto a nitrocellulose membrane as test and quality control lines, respectively. The critical threshold for determining negative or positive through the ratio of the fluorescent signal of the test line and the control line (T/C) is 0.050. The repeatability of the FM-ICTS was excellent, with an overall average CV of 3.17 %. The detection limit of this assay was 1:5120. Additionally, the FM-ICTS no cross reaction with the sera of other related diseases was observed, only reacting with anti-PPRV serum. 70 serum samples were tested by FM-ICTS and commercial ELISA kit, and the results showed good agreement. Overall, a promising pen-side diagnostic tool was developed for the rapid qualitatively/semi-quantitatively detection of PPRV antibodies within 15 min.

Abstract
This paper empirically investigates the impact mechanism of short-term debt for long-term use and the default risk of supply chain firms with the data of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2007 to 2021. The study shows that there is a significant U-curve relationship between short-term debt for long-term use and supply chain firms' default risk, and too high or too low a level of short-term loans and long-term investments will worsen firms' default risk. In addition, firm performance plays an mediating effect in the process of short-term debt for long-term investment affecting the default risk of supply chain firms. Finally, customer effect and firm heterogeneity play a moderating role in the impact of short-term loans and long-term investments on the default risk of supply chain firms, and the U-shaped relationship will be strengthened under the high-intensity customer effect. This study has important theoretical and practical significance for analyzing the impact of default risk contagion in supply chain enterprises.

Abstract
Global climate change is expected to further intensify the global water cycle, leading to more rapid evaporation and more intense precipitation. At the same time, the growth and expansion of natural vegetation caused by climate change and human activities create potential conflicts between ecosystems and humans over available water resources. Clarifying how terrestrial ecosystem evapotranspiration responds to global precipitation and vegetation facilitates a better understanding of and prediction for the responses of global ecosystem energy, water, and carbon budgets under climate change. Relying on the spatial and temporal distribution of evapotranspiration, precipitation, and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from remote sensing platforms, we decouple the interaction mechanism of evapotranspiration, precipitation, and vegetation in linear and nonlinear scenarios using correlation and partial correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and binning. Major conclusions are as follows: (1) As a natural catalyst of the global water cycle, vegetation plays a crucial role in regulating the relationship between climate change and the water‑carbon-energy cycle. (2) Vegetation, a key parameter affecting the water cycle, participates in the entire water cycle process. (3) The increase in vegetation productivity and photosynthesis plays a dominant role in promoting evapotranspiration in vegetated areas, while the increase in precipitation dominates the promotion of evapotranspiration in non-vegetated areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common tumors in the world. Cholesterol plays an important role in the pathogenesis of tumors. One of the cholesterol transporters, scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1), a multi-ligand membrane receptor protein, is expressed in the intestines which also highly expressed in various tumors. But the potential mechanism of SR-B1 in CRC development has not been reported. AIMS This study aimed to clarify the importance of SR-B1 in the development and prognosis of CRC as much as possible to provide a possible strategy in CRC treatment. MATERIALS & METHODS In this study, we used SR-B1 gene knockdown mice to study the effect of SR-B1 on colitis-induced or APCmin/+ -induced CRC. The expression of related molecules were detected through the immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin-eosin staining, western blot analysis, and Flow cytometry. The gene expression and microbiota in microenvironment of CRC mice were analyzed through eukaryotic mRNA sequencing and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. RESULTS The results showed that SR-B1 knockdown reduced the tumor load of colitis-induced or APCmin/+ -induced CRC. SR-B1 knockdown improved the immune microenvironment by affecting the level of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM), mononuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs), granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSCs), programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), and human leukocyte antigen class I-B (HLA-B), and also reduced the level of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R), and increased the level of ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) to regulate the cholesterol metabolism, and regulated the expression of related genes and intestinal microbiota. SR-B1 knockdown can also trigger the anti-CRC effect of anti-PD 1 in colitis-induced CRC. DISCUSSION SR-B1 deficiency significantly improved the immunity in tumor microenvironment of colitis-induced or APCmin/+ -induced CRC. In addition, the microbiota changes caused by SR-B1 deficiency favor improving the immune response to chemotherapeutic drugs and anti-PD1 therapy. The mechanism of action of SR-B1 deficiency on the development of CRC still needs further in-depth research. CONCLUSION This study provides a new treatment strategy for treating CRC by affecting the expression of SR-B1 in intestine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has increased in recent years. Metastatic RCC is common and remains a major cause of mortality. A regulatory role for circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the occurrence and progression of RCC has been identified, but their function, molecular mechanisms, and potential clinical applications remain poorly understood. METHODS High-throughput RNA sequencing was used to explore the differential expression of circRNAs and their related pathways in RCC patients. Transwell and CCK-8 assays were used to assess the function of hsa_circ_0057105 in RCC cells. The clinical relevance of hsa_circ_0057105 was evaluated in a cohort of RCC patients. The hsa_circ_0057105 regulatory axis was defined using RNA pull-down, luciferase reporter assays, and fluorescence in situ hybridization assays, and the in vivo effect of hsa_circ_0057105 was validated using animal experiments. RESULTS Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis and correlation analysis of RNA-seq data showed that hsa_circ_0057105 was potentially oncogenic and may serve to regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) activation in RCC. Hsa_circ_0057105 expression was associated with advanced TNM stages and was an independent prognostic factor for poor RCC patient survival. Phenotypic studies show that hsa_circ_0057105 can enhance the migration and invasion abilities of RCC cells. Further, hsa_circ_0057105 was shown to inhibit the expression of miR-577, a miRNA that regulated the expression of both COL1A1, which induced EMT activation, and VDAC2, which modulated ferroptosis sensitivity. The dual regulatory roles of hsa_circ_0057105 on EMT and ferroptosis sensitivity were verified using rescue experiments. Animal studies confirmed that hsa_circ_0057105 increased the metastatic ability and ferroptosis sensitivity of RCC cells in vivo. CONCLUSIONS In RCC, hsa_circ_0057105 regulates COL1A1 and VDAC2 expression through its sponge effect on miR-577, acting like a 'double-edged sword'. These findings provide new insight into the relationship between EMT and ferroptosis in RCC and provide potential biomarkers for RCC surveillance and treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the abnormal changes of static functional connectivity (sFC) and dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) in the dopaminergic midbrain (ventral dorsal tegmental area and bilateral substantia nigra compacta, VTA/SNc) in patients with first-episode schizophrenia(SCH), and their correlation with the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS). Methods: The data of 198 first-episode untreated schizophrenia patients and 199 healthy controls (HC) matched by age, sex and years of education who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to May 2022 were prospectively collected. All subjects underwent high resolution structural MRI and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scanning. The dopaminergic midbrain (VTA/SNc) was defined as three regions of interest (ROI). The sFC and dFC analyses with VTA/SNc as seeds were performed to produce a whole-brain diagram initially, which subsequently were compared between schizophrenia group and HC group. Finally, the correlation analysis of sFC and dFC values with the PANSS scores were performed, including the positive scale score, negative scale score, general psychopathology scale score, total score and symptom scores. Results: There were 86 males and 112 females in SCH group, and aged (23±9) years. Meanwhile, there were 95 males and 104 females in HC group, and aged (22±5) years. In the SCH group, the positive (P), the negative (N) and the general psychopathology (G) scale scores and the total score (T) of the PANSS scale was 20±7, 21±7, 41±11 and 82±22, respectively. Compared with the HC group, the VTA showed decreased sFC with four clusters including cerebellar vermis 7/9, left putamen, right thalamus and left middle cingulate gyrus in the schizophrenia group (peak center, t=-4.35, -4.81, -4.35 and -4.65; voxel P<0.005; cluster P<0.05), the right SNc showed decreased sFC with four clusters including left cerebellar hemisphere 4/5/8, right putamen, right medial orbitofrontal gyrus and the left putamen in the schizophrenia group (peak center, t=-4.91, -5.15, -4.77 and -5.21; voxel P<0.005; cluster P<0.05), and the left SNc showed decreased sFC with four clusters including the left putamen, right putamen, right medial orbitofrontal gyrus and left middle cingulate gyrus in the schizophrenia group (peak center, t=-5.82, -4.83 and -4.65; voxel P<0.005; cluster P<0.05). Compared with the HC group, the VTA showed decreased dFC with the right inferior parietal gyrus, right angular gyrus and right superior parietal gyrus in schizophrenia group (t=-4.17). In the schizophrenia group, the sFC value of cluster 2 (left putamen) with VTA as seed and cluster 4 (left putamen) with right SNc as seed were positively correlated with the positive scale scores in PANSS (r=0.141, 0.169, both P<0.05). The sFC and dFC values of significant regions were also correlated with hallucination, delusion, suspicion, hostility, communication disorder, passivity/indifference, lack of communication, stereotyped thinking, depression, non-cooperation, lack of judgment and insight, impulse control disorder, active social avoidance (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The static and dynamic functional connectivity (stability) of VTA/SNc to cerebellum, thalamus, striatum, prefrontal lobe and cingulate gyrus in first-episode schizophrenia patients were decreased, which were closely related to the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

Abstract
Due to the importance of 4R tau in the pathogenicity of primary tauopathies, it has been challenging to model these diseases in iPSC-derived neurons, which express very low levels of 4R tau. To address this problem we have developed a panel of isogenic iPSC lines carrying the MAPT splice-site mutations S305S, S305I or S305N, derived from four different donors. All three mutations significantly increased the proportion of 4R tau expression in iPSC-neurons and astrocytes, with up to 80% 4R transcripts in S305N neurons from as early as 4 weeks of differentiation. Transcriptomic and functional analyses of S305 mutant neurons revealed shared disruption in glutamate signaling and synaptic maturity, but divergent effects on mitochondrial bioenergetics. In iPSC-astrocytes, S305 mutations induced lysosomal disruption and inflammation and exacerbated internalization of exogenous tau that may be a precursor to the glial pathologies observed in many tauopathies. In conclusion, we present a novel panel of human iPSC lines that express unprecedented levels of 4R tau in neurons and astrocytes. These lines recapitulate previously characterized tauopathy-relevant phenotypes, but also highlight functional differences between the wild type 4R and mutant 4R proteins. We also highlight the functional importance of MAPT expression in astrocytes. These lines will be highly beneficial to tauopathy researchers enabling a more complete understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying 4R tauopathies across different cell types.

Abstract
Background Mechanoreceptors in the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) can produce proprioception, which is an important reason why patients choose cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The number of mechanoreceptors in the PCL of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is unknown. Purpose To provide a theoretical basis for estimating the number of mechanoreceptors in the PCL by evaluating the relationship between this number and patient age or OA severity. Study Design Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods An overall 28 PCLs from patients with knee OA were collected at the time of TKA and grouped according to patient age (group A, 60-69 years [n = 8]; group B, 70-79 years [n = 12]; group C, ≥80 years [n = 8]) and OA based on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score (group I, ≤80 [n = 8]; group II, 81-120 [n = 10]; group III, >120 [n = 10]). Hematoxylin and eosin and S-100 immunohistochemical staining were performed on the slices near the tibial attachment of the PCL, and the number of mechanoreceptors in each slice was counted. Multifactor analysis of variance was used to evaluate the relationship between the number of mechanoreceptors and patient age or WOMAC score. Results The number of mechanoreceptors (mean ± SD) in groups A, B, and C was 24.00 ± 15.19, 30.92 ± 11.41, and 23.38 ± 11.39, respectively, with no significant between-group differences. The number of mechanoreceptors in groups I, II, and III was 43.50 ± 4.99, 25.00 ± 5.27, and 15.20 ± 5.61, with significant differences between groups I and II, groups I and III, and groups II and III (P < .001 for all). Conclusion In patients with knee OA, age had no significant effect on mechanoreceptor count, but the number of mechanoreceptors in the PCL decreased significantly with higher (worse) WOMAC score. These findings suggest that in patients of any age with high WOMAC scores, there may be little value as it relates to knee proprioception in performing a PCL-retaining TKA.

Abstract
RATIONALE The chemical constituents of Chinese patent medicine are usually different from those of crude medicine because of specific preparation processes. Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. leaf granule is widely used for prevention against COVID-19 in China. However, no research has been reported on the chemical constituents of the granule and their variation during the preparation process. METHODS Fragmentation patterns of reference compounds were investigated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and the new gas-phase reaction was demonstrated by electronic and steric effects and calculated chemistry. Then, a strategy based on new fragmentation patterns was used to profile aromatic constituents. In addition, based on untargeted metabolomics analytical workflow, a comparison was made on the chemical constituents of the leaf and granule. RESULTS New fragmentation patterns related to two competing reactions, ring-opening and ring-closing reactions for coumarin, have been proposed and investigated in depth. The newly established diagnostic ion at m/z 81.0331 worked strongly in the assignment of OH-7 and substituent at C-8 of coumarin. McLafferty rearrangement occurring in coumarin glycoside while sugar group locating at C-4 was first observed, and new diagnostic ions at m/z 147.0440, 119.0488, and 91.0543 were constructed. CONCLUSIONS Aromatic constituents of the granule were first profiled. A total of 114 aromatic compounds were identified; of these 85 compounds were identified first. Kaempferol-7-O-neohesperidoside and its homologues were mostly enriched in the granule. Considering their reported bioactivities, these analogues possibly contribute greatly to clinical efficacy. Our results provided a new fragmentation theory for coumarins and a new material basis for the quality control of the granule.

Abstract
Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is becoming increasingly important in grassland systems (sheep and beef) due to its high productivity, protein content and nitrogen-fixing ability which allows lower N fertilizer use (Murray et al. 2007). In June 2021, an unidentified foliar disease occurred seriously in experimental fields of red clover (25.61°N, 102.48°E) in Kunming city, Yunnan Province, China. Disease incidence was approximately 55% with an average disease severity of 41.1% in the fields (about 1.5 ha). Initially, the symptoms consisted of cicular to oval leaf spots with dark brown edges. In severely diseased plots, the diseased spots continued to expand and fuse along the leaf veins, forming long and narrow leaf spots, and the middle of the leaves were decayed and hollow. To isolate the pathogen, small pieces (3×3 mm) from the margin of infected lesions were surface-sterilized in 75% ethanol solution for 30 s, 1% NaClO solution for 90 s, rinsed three times with sterilized distilled water, air dried, and plated onto potato dextrose agar (PDA). The same fungus was isolated in 90% of the samples and purified by transferring the hyphal tip from the edge of colonies to fresh PDA plates. The colonies produced relatively dense light-grayish aerial mycelium in the early stage, which turned grayish upon mature, and then dark brown on the back of the colonies with dense small black patches. Conidiophores were unbranched, straight or flexuous, accompanied by slight or obvious swelling of its apical cells. Conidia were olive brown, irregularly round, 1 to 3 transverse septa, 0 to 2 longitudinal or oblique septa, and measured 16.0 - (24.8)- 30.1 × 13.9 - (21.4) - 28.6 µm (n = 50). Morphological characteristics were consistent with those described for Stemphylium vesicarium (Simmons, 1967). For molecular identification, total genomic DNA was isolated from mycelia collected from 6 day-old colonies of three representative isolates LZQF-1-LZQF-3 using the Omega D3195 fungal genomic DNA extraction kit. Fragments of three genes, including those encoding the ITS region of rDNA, calmodulin gene (cmdA), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) regions of isolates LZQF-1-LZQF-3 were amplified by the primers described previously (Woudenberg et al. 2017) and sequenced. Resulting sequences of representative strain LZQF-1 were deposited in GenBank with accession numbers of OL615093 (ITS), OL624541 (cmdA) and OL624538 (gpd), respectively. A nucleotide BLAST search revealed ITS, cmdA and gpd sequences to be 100%, 100% and 99.0% similar to the corresponding sequences (accessions numbers KU850563.1, KU850853.1 and KU850710.1) of ex-type strain CBS 370.51 of S. vesicarium. The three locus datasets were combined by SequenceMatrix 1.8 (Vaidya et al. 2011), and the strain LZQF-1-LZQF-3 and S. vesicarium (CBS 192.86, CBS 370.51 and CBS 205.82) formed a subclade with 99% bootstrap support. Pathogenicity tests were performed on LZQF-1 in a greenhouse at 18 °C-26 °C with 75% relative humidity. Three pots each containing three 50-day-old red clover were sprayed with the conidial suspension (3 × 105 conidia/ml) while another three pots were sprayed with sterile water as a control. Two weeks later, the inoculated leaves showed oval leaf spots with dark brown edges, distinctive symptoms of S. vesicarium infection. S. vesicarium was reisolated and confirmed by morphological and molecular features. There were no symptoms on the control leaves. S. vesicarium as a pathogen causing leaf spot disease has been reported on red clover in Canada (Jasalavich et al. 1995) and in Russia (Babuschkina et al. 1995). To our knowledge, this is the first report of leaf spot of red clover caused by S. vesicarium in China. The identification of Stemphylium leaf spot lays the groundwork for future investigations into epidemiology and management of S. vesicarium on red clover.

Abstract
Chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA) is a special type of asthma with chest tightness as the only or main symptom. Due to the lack of typical asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and positive signs in chest, it is easy to be missed or misdiagnosed in clinical practice. The onset of chest tightness variant asthma is insidious, and there is few research and attention both domestic and international, so there is no unified diagnosis and treatment standard especially in childhood asthma. This article expounds the related research advances in chest tightness variant asthma, in order to increase clinical attention and provide reference and basis for the prevention of the disease as well as the formulation of diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Abstract
The unique structure of the periodontium, including the alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament (PDL), presents difficulties for the regeneration of its intricate organization. Irreversible structural breakdown of the periodontium increases the risk of tooth loosening and loss. Although the current therapies can restore the periodontal hard tissues to a certain extent, the PDL with its high directionality of multiple groups with different orientations and functions cannot be reconstructed. Here, biomimetic peridontium patches (BPPs) for functional periodontal regeneration using a microscale continuous digital light projection bioprinting method is reported. Orthotopic transplantation in the mandibles shows effective periodontal reconstruction. The resulting bioengineered tissues closely resembles natural periodontium in terms of the "sandwich structures," especially the correctly oriented fibers, showing different and specific orientation in different regions of the tooth root, which has never been found in previous studies. Furthermore, after the assessment of clinically functional properties it is found that the regenerative periodontium can achieve stable tooth movement under orthodontic migration force with no adverse consequences. Overall, the BPPs promote reconstruction of the functional periodontium and the complex microstructure of the periodontal tissue, providing a proof of principle for the clinical functional treatment of periodontal defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Graves' disease (GD) among children has attracted wide attention. However, data on long-term follow-up is scarce, especially in China. This study aimed to investigate the prognosis after regular treatments of GD and to identify possible influencing factors. METHODS A total of 204 newly diagnosed GD children in the Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between 2013 and 2019 were included in this study. The cases involved were divided into remission group, relapse group, and continuing treatment group according to therapy outcomes. Relationships between prognosis and possible influencing factors in remission and relapse groups were analyzed. RESULTS All 204 cases were treated with methimazole (MMI) at presentation with GD. Due to severe complications, 4 (2.0%) cases changed medication to propylthiouracil (PTU). Of all the GD children included, 79 (38.7%) had remission, and 40 (50.6%) relapsed after remission. For each additional month before free thyroxine (FT4) fell into the reference range with treatment, the risk of relapse increased 1.510 times (adjusted OR=2.510, 95%CI: 1.561, 4.034) compared to those in the remission group. On the contrary, the risk of relapse was reduced by 0.548 times for each additional hour of sleep duration per day (adjusted OR=0.452, 95%CI: 0.232, 0.879). CONCLUSION GD children have a high relapse rate after remission, and most of them occur within 1 year. Thyroid function should be reexamined regularly after drug withdrawal. The response to medication and lifestyle of GD children may affect the prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a predictive model for survival benefit of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) who received adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 249 patients with ICC who underwent radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy at 8 hospitals in China from January 2010 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected. There were 121 males and 128 females,with 88 cases>60 years old and 161 cases≤60 years old. Feature selection was performed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Overall survival time and survival status were used as outcome indicators,then target clinical features were selected. Patients were stratified into high-risk group and low-risk group,survival differences between the two groups were analyzed. Using the selected clinical features, the traditional CoxPH model and deep learning DeepSurv survival prediction model were constructed, and the performance of the models were evaluated according to concordance index(C-index). Results: Portal vein invasion, carcinoembryonic antigen>5 μg/L,abnormal lymphocyte count, low grade tumor pathological differentiation and positive lymph nodes>0 were independent adverse prognostic factors for overall survival in 249 patients with adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection (all P<0.05). The survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in the high-risk group was significantly lower than that in the low-risk group (P<0.05). Using the above five features, the traditional CoxPH model and the deep learning DeepSurv survival prediction model were constructed. The C-index values of the training set were 0.687 and 0.770, and the C-index values of the test set were 0.606 and 0.763,respectively. Conclusion: Compared with the traditional Cox model, the DeepSurv model can more accurately predict the survival probability of patients with ICC undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy at a certain time point, and more accurately judge the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Objectives: To construct a nomogram for prediction of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) lymph node metastasis based on inflammation-related markers,and to conduct its clinical verification. Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 858 ICC patients who underwent radical resection were retrospectively collected at 10 domestic tertiary hospitals in China from January 2010 to December 2018. Among the 508 patients who underwent lymph node dissection,207 cases had complete variable clinical data for constructing the nomogram,including 84 males,123 females,109 patients≥60 years old,98 patients<60 years old and 69 patients were pathologically diagnosed with positive lymph nodes after surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to calculate the accuracy of preoperative imaging examinations to determine lymph node status,and the difference in overall survival time was compared by Log-rank test. Partial regression squares and statistically significant preoperative variables were screened by backward stepwise regression analysis. R software was applied to construct a nomogram,clinical decision curve and clinical influence curve,and Bootstrap method was used for internal verification. Moreover,retrospectively collecting clinical information of 107 ICC patients with intraoperative lymph node dissection admitted to 9 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2019 to June 2021 was for external verification to verify the accuracy of the nomogram. 80 patients with complete clinical data but without lymph node dissection were divided into lymph node metastasis high-risk group and low-risk group according to the score of the nomogram among the 858 patients. Log-rank test was used to compare the overall survival of patients with or without lymph node metastasis diagnosed by pathology. Results: The area under the curve of preoperative imaging examinations for lymph node status assessment of 440 patients was 0.615,with a false negative rate of 62.8% (113/180) and a false positive rate of 14.2% (37/260). The median survival time of 207 patients used to construct a nomogram with positive or negative postoperative pathological lymph node metastases was 18.5 months and 27.1 months,respectively (P<0.05). Five variables related to lymph node metastasis were screened out by backward stepwise regression analysis,which were combined calculi,neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio,albumin,liver capsule invasion and systemic immune inflammation index,according to which a nomogram was constructed with concordance index(C-index) of 0.737 (95%CI: 0.667 to 0.806). The C-index of external verification was 0.674 (95%CI:0.569 to 0.779). The calibration prediction curve was in good agreement with the reference curve. The results of the clinical decision curve showed that when the risk threshold of high lymph node metastasis in the nomogram was set to about 0.32,the maximum net benefit could be obtained by 0.11,and the cost/benefit ratio was 1∶2. The results of clinical influence curve showed that when the risk threshold of high lymph node metastasis in the nomogram was set to about 0.6,the probability of correctly predicting lymph node metastasis could reach more than 90%. There was no significant difference in overall survival time between patients with high/low risk of lymph node metastasis assessed by the nomogram and those with pathologically confirmed lymph node metastasis or without lymph node metastasis (Log-rank test:P=0.082 and 0.510,respectively). Conclusion: The prediction accuracy of preoperative nomogram for ICC lymph node metastasis based on inflammation-related markers is satisfactory,which can be used as a supplementary method for preoperative diagnosis of lymph node metastasis and is helpful for clinicians to make personalized decision of lymph node dissection for patients with ICC.

Abstract
Biliary tract cancer is extremely malignant with a poor prognosis. At the moment, the only curative method available is radical resection. Targeted and immunotherapy are currently advancing quickly, but chemotherapy still holds a key role in the perioperative management of biliary cancer. Perioperative chemotherapy aims to decrease tumor volume before surgery so that patients can have their tumors surgically removed or have a higher radical resection rate. It also aims to remove any tumor cells that remain after surgery and prevent the growth of new tumors. Chemotherapy-based combination treatment techniques have been increasingly investigated in recent years to improve perioperative care and patient survival. From the standpoint of chemotherapy regimens and clinical trial success in the perioperative phase of radical surgery, the value of chemotherapy in the perioperative period of biliary tract cancer were explored in this paper.

Abstract
People's lifestyles have changed dramatically during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, yet data on physical examinations in the Chinese population before and during the pandemic are rarely reported. The study was based on the data from the physical examination center of Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. We collected the data of physical examinations information between January 2017 and March 2022. The data of participants before December 31, 2019 were classified as "before COVID-19 pandemic group," while data after December 31, 2019 were classified as "during COVID-19 pandemic group." We used t-test and χ2 test to compare the differences before and during COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 72 257 individuals participated in the physical examinations, and finally retained 65 629 individuals for analysis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, body mass index (BMI), high-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol levels, as well as pulmonary nodule and thyroid nodule proportion of participants were higher than those before the pandemic, and the levels of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of participants were lower than those before the pandemic. Ongoing assessment and surveillance are necessary to assess whether lifestyle changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to increase chronic disease risk in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE The biomechanical analysis of stress and strain state of multilayered blood vessels has shown great importance in vascular pathology and physiology. However, there is a lack of method in measuring the mechanical property of each layer of a vascular sample without splitting up the wall. METHODS Here we develop a vascular inflation test method based on intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) imaging and inverse parametric estimation. We propose a three-step inverse parametric estimation method to solve the six constitutive parameters of the GOH models for the intima-media and adventitia of the coronaries simultaneously. A bilayer silicone vascular phantom inflation test and a virtual deformation test using finite element simulated data are conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method. RESULTS The virtual deformation test demonstrates that the errors of the constitutive constants are less than 2.56% determined by the proposed inverse parametric estimation method. The stress-strain curves of a bilayer silicone vascular phantom obtained based on the parameters determined by the proposed method match well with those obtained by the uniaxial test. CONCLUSION The proposed layer-specific vascular mechanical property measurement method provides a new experimental method for mechanical properties characterization of blood vessels. It also has the potential to be used for patient-specific mechanical properties estimation with IVOCT imaging in vivo.

Abstract
When a firm invests in a foreign market, it has to choose between cross-border acquisition and greenfield investment. The impact of investor sentiment on the establishment mode of firm outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) has not been investigated by previous literature. Based on the data of Chinese listed companies between 2007 and 2019, this paper finds that firms prefer cross-border acquisition over greenfield investment when investor sentiment is high, and equity issuance and catering to sentiment are transmission channels. Cross-sectional test results show that the impact of investor sentiment on the establishment mode is concentrated in non-state-owned enterprises, and is stronger in non-eastern province firms and in technology-intensive OFDI. After various robustness tests, the main conclusion remains unchanged. This paper not only finds a new determinant that affects the establishment mode of OFDI but also enriches the research on the economic consequences of investor sentiment, which helps understand the role of investor sentiment in firms' internationalization decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis often causes irrevocable destruction of tooth-supporting tissues and eventually leads to tooth loss. Currently, stem cell-based tissue engineering has achieved a favorable result in regenerating periodontal tissues. Moreover, cell-free therapies that aim to facilitate the recruitment of resident repair cell populations to injured sites by promoting cell mobilization and homing have become alternative options to cell therapy. MAIN TEXT Cell aggregates (e.g., cell sheets) retain a large amount of extracellular matrix which can improve cell viability and survival rates after implantation in vivo. Electrostatic spinning and 3D bioprinting through fabricating specific alignments and interactions scaffold structures have made promising outcomes in the construction of a microenvironment conducive to periodontal regeneration. Cell-free therapies with adding biological agents (growth factors, exosomes and conditioned media) to promote endogenous regeneration have somewhat addressed the limitations of cell therapy. CONCLUSION Hence, this article reviews the progress of stem cell-based tissue engineering and advanced strategies for endogenous regeneration based on stem cell derivatives in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Drought-land cover change (D-LCC) is considered to be an important stress factor that affects vegetation greenness and productivity (VG&P) in global terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding the effects of D-LCC on VG&P benefits the development of terrestrial ecosystem models and the prediction of ecosystem evolution. However, till today, the mechanism remains underexploited. In this study, based on the Theil-Sen median estimator and Mann-Kendall test, Hurst exponent evaluation and rescaled range analysis (R/S), Pearson and Partial correlation coefficient analyses, we explore the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and future trends of Leaf area index (LAI), Net primary productivity (NPP), Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), Standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), Soil moisture (SM), Land cover type (LC), and the impact mechanism of D-LCC on global VG&P. Our results provide four major insights. First, three independent satellite observations consistently indicate that the world is experiencing an increasing trend of VG&P: LAI (17.69 %), NPP (20.32 %) and SIF (16.46 %). Nonetheless, productivity-reducing trends are unfolding in some tropical regions, notably the Amazon rainforest and the Congo basin. Second, from 2001 to 2020, the frequency, severity, duration, and scope of global droughts have been increasing. Third, the impact of land cover change on global VG&P is region-dependent. Finally, our results indicate that the continuous growth of VG&P in the global vegetation area is likely to become more difficult to maintain.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a major gynecological tumor worldwide. Unfortunately, the molecular mechanisms involved in cervical cancer tumorigenesis still requires more clarification. Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1), an enzyme involved in phosphatidylcholine metabolism, has been reported to regulate the proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and recurrence of malignancies. Here in our study, we found that LPAT1 was over-expressed in clinical cervical cancer tissues, and its high expression was closely correlated with poor outcomes of patients. We further showed that LPCAT1 knockdown remarkably restrained the proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells, while it significantly induced apoptosis. RNA-seq and bioinformatics assays initially showed that interleukin-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (IL-6/STAT3) pathway was a key mechanism for LPCAT1 to regulate cervical cancer progression. LPCAT1 silence strongly decreased IL-6, p-Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and p-STAT3 expression levels in cervical cancer cells. Similarly, the expression levels of IL-6/STAT3 target genes were also highly down-regulated in cervical cancer cells with LPCAT1 deletion. Importantly, we found that human recombinant IL-6 addition considerably abolished the function of LPCAT1-knockdown to suppress the proliferation and EMT process in cervical cancer cells, accompanied with mitigated apoptotic cell death. Furthermore, our animal experiment results validated that stable LPCAT1 deletion efficiently reduced the tumor growth rates of xenograft mouse models and lung metastasis in vivo. Collectively, all our findings revealed that LPCAT1 may be a promising alternative prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for cervical cancer through regulating JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare form of heart muscle disease with poor prognosis. Its primary manifestations were caused by systemic or pulmonary circulation congestion. Here, we reported a case of RCM with ventricular fibrillation as initial symptom in a 7-year-old boy. The child suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest suddenly while exercising at school and immediately was given external chest compression and defibrillation by the school’s equipped automatic external defibrillator (AED). The rescue was successful. At the time of the AED discharge, his electrocardiogram (ECG) indicated ventricular fibrillation. Upon further examination, the echocardiogram revealed enlarged bilateral atria, decreased diastolic function and normal ventricular thickness. Genetic analysis identified a heterozygous missense mutation [c.611(exon8)G>A,p.R204H] of TNNI3 in the proband boy. This case contributes to our understanding of RCM in children and emphasizes the importance of having AEDs available in public places.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical phenotypes and genotypic spectrum of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in children with cystic fibrosis. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 12 children with cystic fibrosis who presented to Children's Hospital of Fudan University from December 2017 to December 2021. Clinical features, fecal elastase-1 level, genotype, diagnosis and treatment were systematically reviewed. Results: A total of 12 children, 7 males and 5 females, diagnosis aged 5.4 (2.0, 10.6) years, were recruited. Common clinical features included chronic cough in 12 cases, malnutrition in 7 cases, steatorrhea in 7 cases, bronchiectasis in 5 cases and electrolyte disturbance in 4 cases. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency were diagnosed in 8 cases,the main clinical manifestations were steatorrhea in 7 cases, of which 5 cases started in infancy; 6 cases were complicated with malnutrition, including mild in 1 case, moderate in 2 cases and severe in 3 cases; 3 cases had abdominal distension; 2 cases had intermittent abdominal pain; 4 cases showed fatty infiltration or atrophy of pancreas and 3 cases showed no obvious abnormality by pancreatic magnetic resonance imaging or B-ultrasound. All 8 children were given pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, follow-up visit of 2.3 (1.2,3.2) years. Diarrhea significantly improved in 6 cases, and 1 case was added omeprazole due to poor efficacy. A total of 20 variations of CFTR were detected in this study, of which 7 were novel (c.1373G>A,c.1810A>C,c.270delA,c.2475_2478dupCGAA,c.2489_c.2490insA, c.884delT and exon 1 deletion). Conclusions: There is a high proportion of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in Chinese patients with cystic fibrosis. The main clinical manifestations are steatorrhea and malnutrition. Steatorrhea has often started from infancy. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy can significantly improve the symptoms of diarrhea and malnutrition.

Abstract
Aim: The study aimed to clarify the diagnostic value of exosomal miRNAs in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods: Plasma exosomes were isolated from peripheral blood of EOC patients and healthy donors by ultracentrifugation and verified by transmission electron microscopy, qNano and western blot. The expression of exosomal miRNAs was detected by quantitative PCR, and the diagnostic efficiency of exosomal miRNAs was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis. Results: Exosomal miR-1260a, miR-7977 and miR-192-5p were significantly decreased in EOC as compared with healthy controls. The area under the curve of the combination of three exosomal miRNAs was 0.8337. Moreover, the level of exosomal miR-7977 was related to the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, which decreased in EOC patients with a high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio. Conclusion: Exosomal miR-1260a, miR-7977 and miR-192-5p act as potentially EOC diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.

Abstract
As the existing processing algorithms for LiDAR echo decomposition are time-consuming, this paper proposes an FPGA-based improved Gaussian full-waveform decomposition method. The proposed FPGA architecture consists of three modules: (i) a pre-processing module, which is used to pipeline data reading and Gaussian filtering, (ii) the inflection point coordinate solution module, applied to the second-order differential operation and to calculate inflection point coordinates, and (iii) the Gaussian component parameter solution and echo component positioning module, which is utilized to calculate the Gaussian component and echo time parameters. Finally, two LiDAR datasets, covering the Congo and Antarctic regions, are used to verify the accuracy and speed of the proposed method. The experimental results show that (i) the accuracy of the FPGA-based processing is equivalent to that of PC-based processing, and (ii) the processing speed of the FPGA-based processing is 292 times faster than that of PC-based processing.

Abstract
The isomer depletion of ^{93m}Mo was recently reported [Chiara et al., Nature (London) 554, 216 (2018)NATUAS0028-083610.1038/nature25483] as the first direct observation of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC). However, the measured excitation probability of 1.0(3)% is far beyond the theoretical expectation. In order to understand the inconsistency between theory and experiment, we produce the ^{93m}Mo nuclei using the ^{12}C(^{86}Kr,5n) reaction at a beam energy of 559 MeV and transport the reaction residues to a detection station far away from the target area employing a secondary beam line. The isomer depletion is expected to occur during the slowdown process of the ions in the stopping material. In such a low γ-ray background environment, the signature of isomer depletion is not observed, and an upper limit of 2×10^{-5} is estimated for the excitation probability. This is consistent with the theoretical expectation. Our findings shed doubt on the previously reported NEEC phenomenon and highlight the necessity and feasibility of further experimental investigations for reexamining the isomer depletion under low γ-ray background.

Abstract
Objective: To explore and compare the effect of standard or prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) on the long-term prognosis of elderly patients with coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Methods: Consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus, ≥65 years old, underwent DES implantation, and had no adverse events within 1 year after operation underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from January to December 2013 in Fuwai Hospital were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. These patients were divided into three groups according to DAPT duration: standard DAPT duration group (11 ≤ DAPT duration≤ 13 months) and prolonged DAPT duration group (13<DAPT duration≤ 24 months; DAPT duration>24 months). All the patients were followed up at 1, 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years in order to collect the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), and type 2 to 5 bleeding events defined by the Federation of Bleeding Academic Research (BARC). MACCE were consisted of all cause death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization or stroke. The incidence of clinical adverse events were compared among 3 different DAPT duration groups, and Cox regression model were used to analyze the effect of different DAPT duration on 5-year long-term prognosis. Results: A total of 1 562 patients were enrolled, aged (70.8±4.5) years, with 398 female (25.5%). There were 467 cases in standard DAPT duration group, 684 cases in 13<DAPT duration≤ 24 months group and 411 cases in DAPT duration>24 months group. The patients in standard DAPT duration group and the prolonged DAPT duration groups accounted for 29.9% (467/1 562) and 70.1% (1 095/1 562), respectively. The 5-year follow-up results showed that the incidence of all-cause death in 13<DAPT duration≤ 24 months group (4.8%(33/684) vs. 8.6%(40/467),P=0.011) and DAPT duration>24 month group(4.1%(17/411) vs. 8.6%(40/467),P=0.008) were significantly lower than in standard DAPT group. The incidence of myocardial infarction in 13<DAPT duration≤ 24 months group was lower than in standard DAPT duration group (1.9%(13/684) vs. 5.1%(24/467),P=0.002). The incidence of MACCE in 13<DAPT duration≤ 24 months group was the lowest (standard DAPT duration group, 13<DAPT duration≤ 24 months group and DAPT duration>24 month group were 19.3% (90/467), 12.3% (84/684), 20.2% (83/411), respectively, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of stroke and bleeding events among the three groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that compared with the standard DAPT group, prolonged DAPT to 13-24 months was negatively correlated with MACCE (HR=0.601, 95%CI 0.446-0.811, P=0.001), all-cause death (HR=0.568, 95%CI 0.357-0.903, P=0.017) and myocardial infarction (HR=0.353, 95%CI 0.179-0.695, P=0.003). DAPT>24 months was negatively correlated with all-cause death (HR=0.687, 95%CI 0.516-0.913, P=0.010) and positively correlated with revascularization (HR=1.404, 95%CI 1.116-1.765, P=0.004). There was no correlation between prolonged DAPT and bleeding events. Conclusions: For elderly patients with coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus underwent DES implantation, and had no MACCE and bleeding events within 1 year after operation, appropriately prolonging of the DAPT duration is related to the reduction of the risk of cardiovascular adverse events. Patients may benefit the most from the DAPT between 13 to 24 months. In addition, prolonging DAPT duration does not increase the incidence of bleeding events in this patient cohort.
