Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate efficacy and prognostic factors in the treatment of adult newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with or without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 668 patients with newly-diagnosed AML (non-M3 type) in the Department of Hematology at Shanghai Changhai Hospital from January 2012 to December 2021. Based on different induction chemotherapy regimens, patients were categorized into an IA (idarubicin, IDA + cytarabine, Ara-C) (3 + 7, regimen) group (n = 303) and a DA (daunorubicin, DNR + cytarabine, Ara-C) (3 + 7, regimen) group (n = 365) with or without allo-HSCT. Minimal residual disease (MRD), complete response (CR), overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse effects (AE) were analyzed and compared. Characteristics significantly associated with overall or progression-free survival (OS or PFS) upon univariate analysis were subsequently included in a Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS This study used data from 668 AML patients. After induction therapy, the CR rate in the IA group was 70.63% and ORR was 79.87%, which were significantly higher than those in the DA group (with a CR rate of 56.99% and an ORR of 70.14%) (P = 0.0002 and P = 0.0035, respectively). There were no significant differences in drug safety between the two chemotherapy regimens used in IA and DA (P > 0.05). The recurrence rate was lower in patients with an MRD < 0.001 than in patients with an MRD ≥ 0.001. A continuous negative MRD during the period is significant because it is associated with prolonged OS and PFS of AML patients. Data from 100 patients in the two groups who underwent allo-HSCT were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Cox proportional hazards model. From the multivariate analysis, MRD was found to be the only independent predictor of OS (P = 0.042; HR 1; 95%CI 0.00-0.76). CONCLUSION In the treatment of adult AML patients, IA regimen is associated with a high CR rate and ORR rate and does not increase treatment-related toxicity. IA regimen prolongs OS and PFS in AML patients and reduces the likelihood of leukemia cells' subsequent infiltration into the central nervous system. There is a high correlation between the level of MRD after treatment and the patient's bone marrow recurrence. To obtain superior treatment effects for patients undergoing allo-HSCT, the MRD should be reduced to less than 0.001 before pretreatment. A negative MRD before allo-HSCT can prolong OS in patients with AML. We examined the clinical characteristics and outcomes of AML patients in China, finding novel information on prognostic factors and primary treatment of AML that may be applicable in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Cyclophilin A (CypA), the first member of cyclophilins, is distributed extensively in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, primarily localized in the cytoplasm. In addition to acting as an intracellular receptor for cyclosporin A (CSA), CypA plays a crucial role in diseases such as aging and tumorigenesis. Apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is able to balance the rate of cell viability and death. In this review, we focus on the effects of CypA on apoptosis and the relationship between specific mechanisms of CypA promoting or inhibiting apoptosis and diseases, including tumorigenesis, cardiovascular diseases, organ injury, and microbial infections. Notably, the process of CypA promoting or inhibiting apoptosis is closely related to disease development. Finally, future prospects for the association of CypA and apoptosis are discussed, and a comprehensive understanding of the effects of CypA on apoptosis in relation to diseases is expected to provide new insights into the design of CypA as a therapeutic target for diseases. KEY POINTS: • Understand the effect of CypA on apoptosis. • CypA affects apoptosis through specific pathways. • The effect of CypA on apoptosis is associated with a variety of disease processes.

The therapeutic potential of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells for various diseases has been explored. However, the potential use of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy has not yet been investigated. In this study, we injected human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells into the lateral ventricle of a neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy rat model and observed significant improvements in both cognitive and motor function. Protein chip analysis showed that interleukin-3 expression was significantly elevated in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy model rats. Following transplantation of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells, interleukin-3 expression was downregulated. To further investigate the role of interleukin-3 in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, we established an in vitro SH-SY5Y cell model of hypoxic-ischemic injury through oxygen-glucose deprivation and silenced interleukin-3 expression using small interfering RNA. We found that the activity and proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation were further suppressed by interleukin-3 knockdown. Furthermore, interleukin-3 knockout exacerbated neuronal damage and cognitive and motor function impairment in rat models of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The findings suggest that transplantation of hpcMSCs ameliorated behavioral impairments in a rat model of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and this effect was mediated by interleukin-3-dependent neurological function.

Abstract
T. panzhihuanense and T. latisporum are white truffle species native to China, of which T. panzhihuanense has significant commercial potential, with high nutritional value and unique flavor. Maturity is an important factor affecting the nutrition and aroma of truffles, which determines their economic status. Here, a label-free-based comparative proteomics method was used to determine the proteomic profiles of T. panzhihuanense and T. latisporum at two different stages of maturity. The results showed that both maturity and species significantly affected the protein expression patterns. T. panzhihuanense responded stronger to maturity than T. latisporum, accompanied by a more complex interaction network between proteins. Some critical proteins were regulated by maturity and variety, including those involved in aroma formation, e.g., S-adenosyl-methionine synthetase. The enrichment of oxidation-reduction processes, glycolysis, and SNARE interactions in vesicular transport were driven by species and maturity. This study provides the first insights into the proteomic profiles of T. panzhihuanense and T. latisporum, revealing the roles of key proteins and biological processes in their maturation.

Abstract
Colloidal nanoparticles (CNPs), as carriers of nutrients, naturally exist in food or form during cooking. In this study, the colloidal properties, structures, rheological properties, and chemical composition location of CNPs were analyzed during 15 min to 5 h lamb soup stewing. With the increasing stewing time, the particle size and absolute value of the zeta potential of CNPs increased, indicating that CNPs became more stable. As the stewing time increased, the blue-shifted Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy absorption peaks and the red-shifted fluorescence spectroscopy absorption peaks certificated the structural changes in CNPs. And α-helix and β-turn content decreased, while β-sheet and random coil content increased in processing, potentially resulting in the opening CNPs structures. In addition, our findings revealed that proteins were encapsulated within the lipids in the inner part, while carbohydrates were dispersed in the outermost layers of the CNPs with a phospholipid bilayer.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Rhubarb is the peeled and dried roots of Rheum palmatum L. and Rheum tanguticum Maxim. ex Balf. or Rheum officinale Baill. Free total rhubarb anthraquinones (FTRAs) were isolated and extracted from rhubarb. Previous studies have revealed that the early administration of FTRAs protects the intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), the mechanism of which is not yet clear. However, we observed an enhanced expression of intestinal pyroptotic factors in rats treated with SAP, which may be related to the mechanism of intestinal barrier protection by FTRAs. AIM OF THE STUDY The main objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism by which FTRAs protect the intestinal mucosal barrier in SAP rats, focusing on the classical pyroptosis pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS SAP was induced in rats through retrograde injection of sodium taurocholate via the pancreaticobiliary duct. Subsequently, FTRAs (22.5, 45, and 90 mg/kg), rhubarb (900 mg/kg, positive control), and saline (control) were administered at 0 h (immediately), 12 h, and 24 h post-surgery. Pancreatic and intestinal tissue injury, positive PI staining rate, and expression levels of various factors in intestinal tissues were compared across different groups. These factors include diamine oxidase (DAO), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), high mobility group box chromosomal protein 1(HMGB1) and pro-inflammatory factors in intestinal and serum, pyroptosis-associated factors, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), cysteine protease-1 (caspase-1) and Gasdermin (GSDMD). RESULTS The findings indicated that FTRAs protected the damaged intestine and pancreas and restored the expression of intestinal epithelial junction proteins in SAP rats. Additionally, it reduced intestinal and serum levels of DAO, interleukin 1, interleukin 18, HMGB1, and LDH, attenuated intestinal Positive PI staining rate, and significantly decreased the expressions of TLR-4, NF-kB, ASC, NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD in SAP rats. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that FTRAs inhibited pyroptosis through down-regulation of the NLRP3-Caspase-1-GSDMD and TLR-4- NF-kB signaling pathways of intestinal tissues., thereby protecting the intestinal barrier of SAP rats.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn), a common environmental and occupational risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), can cause central nervous system damage and gastrointestinal dysfunction. The melatonin has been shown to effectively improve neural damage and intestinal microbiota disturbances in animal models. This research investigated the mechanism by which exogenous melatonin prevented Mn-induced neurogenesis impairment and neural damage. Here, we established subchronic Mn-exposed mice model and melatonin supplement tests to evaluate the role of melatonin in alleviating Mn-induced neurogenesis impairment. Mn induced neurogenesis impairment and microglia overactivation, behavioral dysfunction, gut microbiota dysbiosis and serum metabolic disorder in mice. All these events were reversed with the melatonin supplement. The behavioral tests revealed that melatonin group showed approximately 30 % restoration of motor activity. According to quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results, melatonin group showed remarkable restoration of the expression of dopamine neurons and neurogenesis markers, approximately 46.4 % (TH), 68.4 % (DCX in hippocampus) and 48 % (DCX in striatum), respectively. Interestingly, melatonin increased neurogenesis probably via the gut microbiota and metabolism modulation. The correlation analysis of differentially expressed genes associated with hippocampal neurogenesis indicated that Firmicutes-lipid metabolism might mediate the critical repair role of melatonin in neurogenesis in Mn-exposed mice. In conclusion, exogenous melatonin supplementation can promote neurogenesis, and restore neuron loss and neural function in Mn-exposed mice, and the multi-omics results provide new research ideas for future mechanistic studies.

Abstract
While combined immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy have demonstrated efficacy in renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, the efficacy of first-line treatment for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with germline BRCA2 mutation remains unproven. We described a BRCA2-mutated patient with PDAC who presented with posterior cardiac metastasis 8 months after surgery. After receiving four cycles of anlotinib combined with tislelizumab, abdominal CT scans indicated a complete response. The patient sustained this response for over 14 months on the combination regimen, with no reported adverse events. In conclusion, the combination of tislelizumab and anlotinib may offer a viable therapeutic option for recurrent metastatic BRCA2-mutated PDAC.

Abstract
Lipidomics analysis of gut microbiome has become critical in recent surge of extensive human disease studies that investigate microbiome contributions. However, challenges remain in comprehending the origins of thousands of lipid species produced by the diverse microbes. Here, we proposed the development and utilization of a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based approach, named lipidome isotope labelling of gut microbes (LILGM), which enables confident detection and identification of endogenous gut microbial lipidome via 13C/15N labeling strategy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Our method leveraged in vitro microbial cultures and stable isotope-labeled 13C and 15N, allowing a reasonable degree of isotope incorporation into microbial lipids over short-term of inoculation. We then systematically detected the mass spectral patterns of 182 labeled lipid species by our in-house data analysis pipeline. Further bioinformatics analyses confidently identified biologically relevant microbial lipids from lipid classes such as diacylglycerols (DGs), fatty acids (FAs), phosphatidylglycerols (PGs), and phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) that may have profound impacts to human physiology. Our study also demonstrated the application of LILGM by showcasing the confident detection of dysregulated microbial lipids post antibiotic perturbation. The debiased sparse partial correlation analysis provides insights into lipid metabolism intricacies. Overall, our method can provide unambiguous analyses to the endogenous microbial lipids in given biological context, and can also instantly reflect the lipidomic changes of gut microbes in response to environmental factors. We believe our LILGM approach has the potential to provide new body of knowledge by combining promising analytical approaches for sensitive and specific lipid detection to support functional microbiome studies.

Abstract
The fluorescent flexible sensor for point-of-care quantification of clinical anticoagulant drug, Heparin (Hep), is still an urgent need of breakthrough. In this research, a hyperbranched poly(amido amine) (HPA) was decorated with tetraphenylethene (TPE) and Rhodamine B (RhB), constructing a ratiometric fluorescent sensor (TR-HPA) for Hep. When the sensor was exposed to Hep, the TPE units within the probe skeleton would aggregate, resulting in an increasing fluorescent emission at 483 nm. The 580 nm of fluorescence came from RhB enhance, simultaneously, due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer. As a result, there are two good linear correlation between the fluorescence emission ratio (E483/E580) of TR-HPA and the Hep concentration over a range of 0-1.0 μM, with a low limit of detection of 3.0 nM. Furthermore, we incorporate the TR-HPA probe into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel matrix to create a flexible fluorescent sensing system platform, denoted as TR-HPA/PVA. This approach offers a straightforward visual detection method by causing a fluorescence color change from pink to blue when trace amounts of Hep are present. The hydrogel-based fluorescent sensor streamlines the detection procedures for Hep in biomedical applications. It shows great potential in rapid and point-of-care human blood clotting condition monitoring, making it suitable for next-generation wearable medical devices.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common psychiatric disorder in women after childbirth. Per data from epidemiologic studies, PPD affects about 5%-26.32% of postpartum mothers worldwide. Biological factors underlying this condition are multiple and complex and have received extensive inquiries for the roles they play in PPD. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), which is widely used as a complementary and alternative therapy for neurological disorders, possesses multi-component, multi-target, multi-access, and low side effect therapeutic characteristics. CHM has already shown efficacy in the treatment of PPD, and a lot more research exploring the mechanisms of its potential therapeutic effects is being conducted. AIM OF THE REVIEW This review provides an in-depth and comprehensive overview of the underlying mechanisms of PPD, as well as samples the progress made in researching the potential role of CHM in treating the disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature was searched comprehensively in scholarly electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CNKI and WanFang DATA, using the search terms "postpartum depression", "genetic", "hormone", "immune", "neuroinflammation", "inflammation", "neurotransmitter", "neurogenesis", "brain-gut axis", "traditional Chinese medicine", "Chinese herbal medicine", "herb", and an assorted combination of these terms. RESULTS PPD is closely associated with genetics, as well as with the hormones, immune inflammatory, and neurotransmitter systems, neurogenesis, and gut microbes, and these biological factors often interact and work together to cause PPD. For example, inflammatory factors could suppress the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin by inducing the regulation of tryptophan-kynurenine in the direction of neurotoxicity. Many CHM constituents improve anxiety- and depression-like behaviors by interfering with the above-mentioned mechanisms and have shown decent efficacy clinically against PPD. For example, Shen-Qi-Jie-Yu-Fang invigorates the neuroendocrine system by boosting the hormone levels of hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) and hypothalamic pituitary gonadal (HPG) axes, regulating the imbalance of Treg/T-helper cells (Th) 17 and Th1/Th2, and modulating neurotransmitter system to play antidepressant roles. The Shenguiren Mixture interferes with the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway to enhance the number, morphology and apoptosis of neurons in the hippocampus of PPD rats. Other herbal extracts and active ingredients of CHM, such as Paeoniflorin, hypericin, timosaponin B-III and more, also manage depression by remedying the neuroendocrine system and reducing neuroinflammation. CONCLUSIONS The pathogenesis of PPD is complex and diverse, with the main pathogenesis not clear. Still, CHM constituents, like Shen-Qi-Jie-Yu-Fang, the Shenguiren Mixture, Paeoniflorin, hypericin and other Chinese Medicinal Formulae, active monomers and Crude extracts, treats PPD through multifaceted interventions. Therefore, developing more CHM components for the treatment of PPD is an essential step forward.

Abstract
Cancer cachexia, a multi-organ disorder resulting from tumor and immune system interactions, prominently features muscle wasting and affects the survival of patients with cancer. Ursolic acid (UA) is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. However, its impact on cancer cachexia remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of UA in addressing muscle atrophy and organ dysfunction in cancer cachexia and reveal the mechanisms involved. UA dose-dependently ameliorated C2C12 myotube atrophy. Mechanistically, it inhibited the expression of muscle-specific RING finger containing protein 1 (MURF1) and the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and upregulated the mRNA or protein levels of myogenic differentiation antigen and myogenin in cultured C2C12 myotubes treated with conditioned medium. In vivo, UA protected CT26 tumor-bearing mice against loss of body weight, as well as increased skeletal muscle and epididymal fat without affecting tumor growth. Additionally, UA increased food intake in CT26 tumor-bearing mice. The mRNA expression of tumor necrosis-α and interleukin 6 was significantly downregulated in the intestine, gastrocnemius, and heart tissues following 38 d UA administration. UA treatment reversed the levels of myocardial function indicators, including creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, car-dial troponin T, and glutathione. Finally, UA treatment significantly inhibited the expression of MURF1, the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa-B p65, and STAT3 in the gastrocnemius muscle and heart tissues of cachexic mice. Our findings suggest that UA is a promising natural compound for developing dietary supplements for cancer cachexia therapy owing to its anti-catabolic effects.

Abstract
Novel tourmaline-biochar composites (TBs) were synthesized by introducing tourmaline (TM) into pomelo peel biochar (BC). The surface properties of TBs and BC were studied and the adsorption performances for Pb2+ were investigated. Compared to pristine BC, the adsorption ability for Pb2+ on TBs was enhanced with the increase of TM in TBs, and up to 514.62 mg/g on 5%TB. The enrichment of inorganic metals caused by TM in TBs made the precipitation and cation ion exchange become the main mechanisms in adsorbing Pb2+, and the amounts of adsorbing Pb2+ by those two mechanisms on TBs were 1.10-1.48 times and 1.20-1.30 times those of BC, respectively. Furthermore, applying TBs to practical contaminated soil increased the soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC) after 15 days of incubation. The increased content of residual-Pb and reduced exchangeable-Pb and DTPA-Pb indicated that TBs were favorable for the immobilization of Pb in soil. This study gives a new perspective on the synthesis of tourmaline-biochar composite and their application in Pb-polluted water and soil.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Fructus Aurantii (FA), a well-known phytomedicine, has been employed to evoke antidepressant and prokinetic multi-functions. Therein, systematically identifying bioactive components and the referred mechanism is essential for FA. AIM OF THE STUDY This study was planned to answer "2 W" (What and Why), such as which components and pathways contribute to FA's multi-functions. We aimed to identify bioactive compounds as the key for opening the lock of FA's multi-functions, and the molecule mechanisms are their naturally matched lock cylinder. MATERIALS AND METHODS The phytochemical content of FA extract was determined, and the compounds were identified in rats pretreated with FA using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The contribution strategy was used to assess bioactive compounds' efficacy (doses = their content in FA) in model rats with the mechanism. The changes in functional brain regions were determined via 7.0 T functional magnetic resonance imaging-blood oxygen level-dependent (fMRI-BOLD). RESULT Eight phytochemicals' content was detected, and merely six components were identified in rats in vivo. Meranzin hydrate + hesperidin (MH), as the primary contributor of FA, exerted antidepressant and prokinetic effects (improvement of indexes for immobility time, gastric emptying, intestinal transit, CRH, ghrelin, ACTH, DA, NA, 5-HT, CORT, and 5-HT3) by regulating 5-HT3/Growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) pathway. These results were validated by 5-HT2A, 5-HT3, and GHSR receptor antagonists combined with molecule docking. MH restored the excessive BOLD activation of the left accumbens nucleus, left corpus callosum and hypothalamus preoptic region. CONCLUSION Absorbed MH accounts for FA's anti-depressant and prokinetic efficacy in acutely-stressed rats, primarily via 5-HT3/GHSR shared regulation.

Abstract
Black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) are aerosols that absorb light and thereby contribute to climate change. In this study, the light absorption properties and spatiotemporal distributions of equivalent BC (eBC) and BrC aerosols were determined based on continuous measurements of aerosol light absorption from January to August 2017, using a seven-channel aethalometer at 49 sampling sites in China. The source apportionments of BC and BrC were identified using the BC/PM2.5, absorption Ångström exponent, the concentration-weighted trajectory method, and the random forest model. Based on the results, BC was the dominant light absorber, whereas BrC was responsible for a higher proportion of the light absorption in northern compared to southern China. The light absorption of BrC was highest in winter (34.3 Mm-1), followed by spring (19.0 Mm-1) and summer (3.6 Mm-1). The combustion of liquid fuels accounted for over 50 % of the light absorption coefficient of BC in most cities and the importance of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was over 10 % for BC emitted by liquid fuel combustion, based on the random forest model. The contribution of solid fuel combustion to BC in the north was larger than that in the southern regions as coal combustion and crop residue burning are important emission sources of BC in most northern cities. The contribution of primary BrC to light absorption was high in some northern cities, whereas that of secondary BrC was prevalent in some southern cities. The diurnal variations in secondary BrC were affected by changes in odd oxygen and relative humidity, which promoted the photobleaching of the chromophores and aqueous-phase reactions of secondary BrC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clarifying the distinctions between art-based creative activities in the domains of occupational therapy and art therapy in the context of stroke rehabilitation, while also describing the effects of art-based creative activities on stroke rehabilitation. DESIGN Scoping review. DATA SOURCE A systematic search was performed in nine databases (Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL and four Chinese database) from their inception to December 2023. REVIEW METHODS The study included randomized and non-randomized controlled trials involving art-based creative activities, as well as qualitative research providing detailed intervention measures. The study focused on stroke patients, with primary outcomes related to patients' physiological recovery, psychological well-being, ADL, etc. Data extraction included information on intervention strategies and study results. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included, extracting six similarities and differences in creative activity between two domains. Creative activities were observed to have positive impacts on daily living activities, limb motor function, fine motor ability, and emotional well-being in stroke patients. CONCLUSION Creative activities, whether in occupational therapy or art therapy, involve providing participants with tangible crafting materials for the creation of artistic works. Future stroke rehabilitation practices should tailor activities and intervention focus based on patients' rehabilitation needs, preferences, and cultural background. The current comprehensive analysis provides initial support for the potential positive role of creative activities in stroke rehabilitation, but further in-depth research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.

Abstract
Limb ischemia is a refractory disease characterized by persistent inflammation, insufficient angiogenesis, and tissue necrosis. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown potential for treating limb ischemia, their therapeutic effects are limited by low engraftment rates. Therefore, developing an optimal MSC delivery system that enhances cell viability is imperative. Selenium, known for its cytoprotective properties in various cell types, offers a potential strategy to enhance therapeutic effect of MSCs. In this study, we evaluated the cytoprotective effects of selenium on MSCs, and developed an injectable thermosensitive selenium-containing hydrogel based on PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock copolymer, as a cell carrier to improve MSC viability after engraftment. The biocompatibility, biodegradability, and cytoprotective capabilities of selenium-containing hydrogels were assessed. Furthermore, the therapeutic potential of MSCs encapsulated within a thermosensitive selenium-containing hydrogel in limb ischemia was evaluated using cellular and animal experiments. Selenium protects MSCs from oxidative damage by upregulating GPX4 through a transcriptional mechanism. The injectable thermosensitive selenium-containing hydrogel exhibited favorable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antioxidant properties. It can be easily injected into the target area in liquid form at room temperature and undergoes gelation at body temperature, thereby preventing the diffusion of selenium and promoting the cytoprotection of MSCs. Furthermore, MSCs encapsulated within the selenium-containing hydrogel effectively inhibited macrophage M1 polarization while promoting macrophage M2 polarization, thus accelerating angiogenesis and restoring blood perfusion in ischemic limbs. This study demonstrated the potential of an injectable thermosensitive selenium-containing hydrogel as a promising method for MSC delivery. By addressing the challenge of low retention rate, which is a major obstacle in MSC application, this strategy effectively improves limb ischemia.

Abstract
AIM Rev-erbα has been reported to regulate the healing of inflammatory lesions through its effect on the immune system in a variety of inflammatory disease. Moreover, the balance of macrophages polarization plays a crucial role in immune response and inflammatory progression. However, in refractory periapical periodontitis (RAP), the role of Rev-erbα in inflammatory response and bone resorption by regulating macrophage polarization remains unclarified. The aims of the present study were to investigate the expression of Rev-erbα in experimental RAP and to explore the relationship between Rev-erbα and macrophage polarization through the application of its pharmacological agonist SR9009 into the in vivo and in vitro experiments. METHODOLOGY Enterococcus faecalis-induced RAP models were established in SD rats. Histological staining and micro-computed tomography scanning were used to evaluate osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone resorption. The expression of Rev-erbα and macrophage polarization were detected in the periapical tissues from rats by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and western blots. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed to explore the relationship between Rev-erbα and inflammatory cytokines related to macrophage polarization. RESULT Compared to healthy periapical tissue, the expression of Rev-erbα was significantly down-regulated in macrophages from inflammatory periapical area, especially in Enterococcus faecalis-induced periapical lesions, with obvious type-1 macrophage (M1)-like dominance and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, Rev-erbα activation by SR9009 could induce type-2 macrophage (M2)-like polarization in periapical tissue and THP1 cell line, followed by increased secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β. Furthermore, intracanal application of SR9009 reduced the lesion size and promoted the repair of RAP by decreasing the number of osteoclasts and enhancing the formation of mineralized tissue in periapical inflammatory lesions. CONCLUSIONS Rev-erbα played an essential role in the pathogenesis of RAP through its effect on macrophage polarization. Targeting Rev-erbα might be a promising and prospective therapy method for the prevention and management of RAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Self-expanding polymer braided stents are expected to replace metallic stents in the treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease, which seriously endangers human health. To restore the patency of blocked peripheral arteries with different properties and functions, the radial supporting capacity of the stent should be considered corresponding to the vessel. A theoretical model can be established as an effective method to study the radial supporting capacity of the stent which can shorten the stent design cycle and realize the customization of the stent according to lesion site. However, the classical model developed by Jedwab and Clerc of radial force is only limited to metallic braided stents, and the predictions for polymer braided stents are deviated. METHODS In this paper, based on the limitation of the J&C model for polymer braided stents, a modified radial force model for polymer braided stents was proposed, which considered the friction between monofilaments and the torsion of the monofilaments. And the modified model was verified by radial force tests of polymer braided stents with different structures and monofilaments. RESULTS Compared with the J&C model, the proposed modified model has better predictability for the radial force of polymer braided stents that prepared with different braided structure and polymer monofilaments. The root mean squared error of modified model is 0.041±0.026, while that of the J&C model is 0.246±0.111. CONCLUSIONS For polymer braided stents, the friction between the polymer monofilaments and the torsion of the monofilaments during the radial compression cannot be ignored. The radial force prediction accuracy of the modified model considering these factors was significantly improved. This work provides a research basis on the theoretical model of polymer braided stents, and improves the feasibility of rapid personalized customization of polymer braided stents.

Abstract
Semen volume is an important economic trait of broilers and one of the important indices for continuous breeding. The objective of this study was to identify genes related to semen volume through transcriptome analysis of the testis tissue of white feather broilers. The testis samples with the highest semen volume (H group, n = 5) and lowest semen volume (L group, n = 5) were selected from 400-day-old roosters for transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing. During the screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the H and L groups, a total of 386 DEGs were identified, among which 348 were upregulated and 38 were downregulated. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that the immune response, leukocyte differentiation, cell adhesion molecules and collagen binding played vital roles in spermatogenesis. The results showed that 4 genes related to spermatogenesis, namely, COL1A1, CD74, ARPC1B and APOA1, were significantly expressed in Group H, which was consistent with the phenotype results. Our findings may provide a basis for further research on the genetic mechanism of semen volume in white feather broilers.

Abstract
Transposable elements (TEs) mobility is capable of generating a large number of structural variants (SVs), which can have considerable potential as molecular markers for genetic analysis and molecular breeding in livestock. Our results showed that the pig genome contains mainly TE-SVs generated by short interspersed nuclear elements (51,873/76.49%), followed by long interspersed nuclear elements (11,131/16.41%), and more than 84% of the common TE-SVs (Minor allele frequency, MAF > 0.10) were validated to be polymorphic. Subsequently, we utilized the identified TE-SVs to gain insights into the population structure, resulting in clear differentiation among the three pig groups and facilitating the identification of relationships within Chinese local pig breeds. In addition, we investigated the frequencies of TEs in the gene coding regions of different pig groups and annotated the respective TE types, related genes, and functional pathways. Through genome-wide comparisons of Large White pigs and Chinese local pigs utilizing the Beijing Black pigs, we identified TE-mediated SVs associated with quantitative trait loci and observed that they were mainly involved in carcass traits and meat quality traits. Lastly, we present the first documented evidence of TE transduction in the pig genome.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a complex environmental etiology involving maternal risk factors, which have been combined with machine learning to predict ASD. However, limited studies have considered the factors throughout preconception, perinatal, and postnatal periods, and even fewer have been conducted in multi-center. In this study, five predictive models were developed using 57 maternal risk factors from a cohort across ten cities (ASD:1232, typically developing[TD]: 1090). The extreme gradient boosting model performed best, achieving an accuracy of 66.2 % on the external cohort from three cities (ASD:266, TD:353). The most important risk factors were identified as unstable emotions and lack of multivitamin supplementation using Shapley values. ASD risk scores were calculated based on predicted probabilities from the optimal model and divided into low, medium, and high-risk groups. The logistic analysis indicated that the high-risk group had a significantly increased risk of ASD compared to the low-risk group. Our study demonstrated the potential of machine learning models in predicting the risk for ASD based on maternal factors. The developed model provided insights into the maternal emotion and nutrition factors associated with ASD and highlighted the potential clinical applicability of the developed model in identifying high-risk populations.

Abstract
In order to explore the difference and its underlying mechanism between young and older ducks, 60-day-old (D60) and 300-day-old (D300) of young ducks and 900-day-old ducks (D900) of older ducks were selected and studied. HE staining indicated that breast muscle fibers in the D900 group were more inseparable than D60 and D300 groups and the greater redness were showed in D300 and D900 groups. Quantitative proteomic analyses were conducted to further identify differences between young and older ducks that 61 proteins overlapped in the comparative analysis of the D900 vs. D60 and D900 vs. D300 groups. Furthermore, metabolomics analysis from the D900 group showed marked differences from the results of the D60 and D300 groups in 31 unique metabolites. In particular, lower guanosine, hypoxanthine, guanine, and doxefazepam levels indicated the increased nutritional value of older ducks. Integrated proteomics and metabolomics analysis showed that purine metabolism was specifically enriched, indicating that NME3, RRM2B, AMPD1, and AMPD3 might mainly affect meat from older ducks. In conclusion, our results indicated that meat from 900-day-old ducks possessed a unique biochemical signature that could provide candidate biomarkers to distinguish young ducks from older ducks.

Abstract
Sepsis, a life-threatening condition triggered by the body's response to infection, presents a significant global healthcare challenge characterized by disarrayed host responses, widespread inflammation, organ impairment, and heightened mortality rates. This study introduces the ncRS database (http://www.ncrdb.cn), a meticulously curated repository housing 1144 experimentally validated non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) intricately linked with sepsis. ncRS offers comprehensive RNA data, exhaustive experimental insights, and integrated annotations from diverse databases. This resource empowers researchers and clinicians to decipher ncRNAs' roles in sepsis pathogenesis, potentially identifying vital biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis, thus facilitating personalized treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of the interval between bilateral cochlear implantation on the development of bilateral peripheral auditory pathways as revealed by the electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (EABR). METHODS Fifty-eight children with profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss were recruited. Among them, 33 children received sequential bilateral cochlear implants (CIs), and 25 children received simultaneous bilateral CIs. The bilateral EABRs evoked by electrical stimulation from the CI electrode were recorded on the day of second-side CI activation. RESULTS The latencies of wave III (eIII) and wave V (eV) were significantly shorter on the first CI side than on the second CI side in children with sequential bilateral CIs but were similar between the two sides in children with simultaneous bilateral CIs. Furthermore, the latencies were prolonged from apical to basal channels along the cochlea in the two groups. In children with sequential CIs, the inter-implant interval was negatively correlated with the eV latency on the first CI side and was positively correlated with bilateral differences in the eIII and eV latencies. CONCLUSIONS Unilateral CI use promotes the maturation of ipsilateral auditory conduction function. However, a longer inter-implant interval results in more unbalanced development of bilateral auditory brainstem pathways. Bilateral cochlear implantation with no or a short interval is recommended.

Abstract
Learning powerful representations in bird's-eye-view (BEV) for perception tasks is trending and drawing extensive attention both from industry and academia. Conventional approaches for most autonomous driving algorithms perform detection, segmentation, tracking, etc., in a front or perspective view. As sensor configurations get more complex, integrating multi-source information from different sensors and representing features in a unified view come of vital importance. BEV perception inherits several advantages, as representing surrounding scenes in BEV is intuitive and fusion-friendly; and representing objects in BEV is most desirable for subsequent modules as in planning and/or control. The core problems for BEV perception lie in (a) how to reconstruct the lost 3D information via view transformation from perspective view to BEV; (b) how to acquire ground truth annotations in BEV grid; (c) how to formulate the pipeline to incorporate features from different sources and views; and (d) how to adapt and generalize algorithms as sensor configurations vary across different scenarios. In this survey, we review the most recent works on BEV perception and provide an in-depth analysis of different solutions. Moreover, several systematic designs of BEV approach from the industry are depicted as well. Furthermore, we introduce a full suite of practical guidebook to improve the performance of BEV perception tasks, including camera, LiDAR and fusion inputs. At last, we point out the future research directions in this area. We hope this report will shed some light on the community and encourage more research effort on BEV perception.

Abstract
Truth-telling and life-sustaining treatment decisions are important elements of the quality of patients' care at the end of life. As the primary caregivers of patients at the end of life in intensive care units (ICUs), ICU nurses play an important role in patient decision making and hospice care. This study aimed to investigate and analyze ICU nurses' attitudes toward truth-telling, attitudes toward end-of-life life-sustaining treatment, and end-of-life decision-making behavioral intentions. One hundred twenty-two ICU nurses participated in this cross-sectional survey. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire. The results showed that ICU nurses' attitudes toward telling patients the truth and end-of-life life-sustaining treatment were both positive, but further improvement is needed. Nurses have a higher willingness to make palliative care decisions for patients at the end of life and to help patients achieve a good death. The truth-telling attitude, the life-sustaining treatment attitude, and whether they knew that cardiopulmonary resuscitation could be legally forgone at the end of life were factors influencing ICU nurses' behavioral intention toward decision making for patients at the end of life (all P s < .05). We conclude that nurses' participation in truth-telling and end-of-life decision making should be promoted, and timely hospice care should be provided to patients to help them achieve a good death.

Abstract
Exudate management is of significant clinical value for the treatment of acute wound. Various wound dressings have been developed to restore the function of injured tissues and promote wound healing, but proper exploiting the healing factors inside exudate and achieving anti-adhesion wound care remains a challenge. Herein, we present a novel multi-functional composite dressing (MCD) by coupling supernatant lyophilized powder of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-SLP) with a sandwich-structured wound dressing (SWD). The developed MCDs demonstrated unique unidirectional drainage capability, stable anti-adhesion characteristics, and improved wound healing performance. The designed SWD with both superhydrophobic inner surface and liquid-absorption ability of mid layer enables the dressings exhibit desired anti-adhesion property to neoformative granulation tissues, favorable shielding effect to exogenous bacteria, as well as appropriate exudate-retaining capability and unidirectional exudate-absorption property. The introduction of MSC-SLP in SWD was demonstrated to further improve wound healing quality. Compared to medical gauze, the synergic effect of SWD and MSC-SLP significantly accelerates wound healing rate by over 30%, avoids tissue avulsion when changing dressings, and produces a flat-smooth closure surface. More importantly, the wound treated with MCDs presents more skin accessory organs and blood vessels in regenerated tissues than other groups. In vivo/vitro biocompatibility evaluations indicated little toxicity, demonstrating the biosecurity of the developed dressings. The proposed method offers great potential in clinical applications particularly for chronic wound treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is performed to investigate the imaging characteristics of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer grade 3 invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) on PET/CT and the value of PET/CT for preoperative predicting this tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with IAC from August 2015 to September 2022. The clinical characteristics, serum tumor markers, and PET/CT features were analyzed. T test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test, Logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis were used to predict grade 3 tumor and evaluate the prediction effectiveness. RESULTS Grade 3 tumors had a significantly higher maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max ) and consolidation-tumor-ratio (CTR) ( P < 0.001), while Grade 1 - 2 tumors were prone to present with air bronchogram sign or vacuole sign ( P < 0.001). A stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that smoking history, CEA, SUV max , air bronchogram sign or vacuole sign and CTR were useful predictors for Grade 3 tumors. The established prediction model based on the above 5 parameters generated a high AUC (0.869) and negative predictive value (0.919), respectively. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that grade 3 IAC has a unique PET/CT imaging feature. The prognostication model established with smoking history, CEA, SUV max , air bronchogram sign or vacuole sign and CTR can effectively predict grade 3 tumors before the operation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) would accompany with severe neurological impairment. Our study aimed to explore the potential mechanism by employing voxel-based and surface-based morphometry to detect brain microwould accompany with severe neurological impairment. Our study aimed to explore the potential mechanism by employing voxel-based and surface-based morphometry to detect brain microanatomic structure alteration. METHODS The IESS group had 21 males and 13 females (mean age: 17.7 ± 15.6 months), whereas the healthy controls group had 22 males and 10 females (mean age: 29.4 ± 18.7 months). High-resolution 3D T1WI was performed. Computational Anatomy Toolbox implemented in Statistical Parametric Mapping 12 was used to measure the gray matter and white matter volume, and the cortical thickness separately. Independent sample t test was used to assess between-group differences. IESS group was assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. RESULTS The IESS group showed a significantly decreased volume of gray matter in right middle temporal gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, right fusiform, and bilateral precuneus (P < 0.001). There were no significant between-group differences with respect to white matter volume or cortical thickness (P > 0.001). The results of Bayley Scales of Infant Development showed that the Mental Development Index (MDI) and Psychomotor Development Index scores of children with IESS were almost concentrated in the range of <70. MDI score showed a positive correlation with gray matter reduction area in IESS group. CONCLUSION Children with IESS had impaired cognitive and delayed motor development. And the decreased gray matter in the right temporal lobe, fusiform, and bilateral precuneus could be the potential anatomic basis for impaired function, such as hearing, visual, and language.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the stems of Celastrus monospermus Roxb enabled isolation and identification of fifteen new macrolide sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids (1-15) along with five known analogues. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis (NMR, HRESIMS, IR, UV), chemical hydrolysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Bioassay of the abundant isolates revealed that seven compounds inhibited the proliferation of B lymphocytes with IC50 values ranging between 1.4 and 19.9 μM. Among them, celasmondine C (3) could significantly promote the apoptosis of activated B lymphocyte, especially late-stage apoptosis. Besides, compounds 3, 16, and 20 exhibited potent suppression of osteoclast formation at a concentration of 1.0 μM. This investigation enriched the chemical diversity of macrolide sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids, and supported evidence for the development of new immunosuppressive and anti-osteoclastogenesis agents.

Abstract
The establishment of structure activity relationship (SAR) for rakicidin derivatives is pretty vital to develop rakicidins as a new type of anti-cancer agents. Herein, two novel rakicidin derivatives, compounds B1-1 (1) and B1-2 (2), a cyclic depsipeptide and a chain lipopeptide, respectively, were isolated from culture broth of Micromonospora chalcea FIM-R160609, and their structures were elucidated clearly by extensive NMR and HR-ESI-MS analyses. Following, their cytotoxic activities were evaluated against HCT-8 and PANC-1 human cancer cell lines under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. Their activities were significantly decreased when compared with that of rakicidin B1. These results demonstrated that the double bond located on the position 9 and 10 of conjugated diene unit and cycle-type structure plays an important role in keeping the biological activity of rakicidins. Furthermore, the positive effect of double bond and cycle form on the anti-bacterial activities were also confirmed by testing their inhibitory activities against gram positive bacteria. This work will definitely diversify the SAR of rakicidins and provide the guidance for the design of new potent rakicidin analogues.

Abstract
The study successfully utilized an analytical approach that combined quantitative lipidomics with back-propagation neural networks to identify breed and part source of lamb using small-scale samples. 1230 molecules across 29 lipid classes were identified in longissimus dorsi and knuckle meat of both Tan sheep and Bahan crossbreed sheep. Applying multivariate statistical methods, 12 and 7 lipid molecules were identified as potential markers for breed and part identification, respectively. Stepwise linear discriminant analysis was applied to select 3 and 4 lipid molecules, respectively, for discriminating lamb breed and part sources, achieving correct rates of discrimination of 100 % and 95 %. Additionally, back-propagation neural network proved to be a superior method for identifying sources of lamb meat compared to other machine learning approaches. These findings indicate that integrating lipidomics with back-propagation neural network approach can provide an effective strategy to trace and certify lamb products, ensuring their quality and protecting consumer rights.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of phosphoglycerate kinase-1 (PGK1) and pyruvate kinase-M2 (PKM2) activity on glycolysis, myofibrillar proteins, calpain system, and apoptosis pathways of postmortem muscle. The activity of PGK1 and PKM2 was regulated by their inhibitors and activators to construct the postmortem glycolysis vitro model and then incubated at 4 °C for 24 h. The results showed that compared to PGK1 and PKM2 inhibitors groups, the addition of PGK1 and PKM2 activators could accelerate glycogen consumption, ATP and lactate production, while declining pH value. Moreover, the addition of PGK1 and PKM2 activators could increase desmin degradation, μ-calpain activity, and caspase-3 abundance. Interestingly, troponin-T degradation was significantly increased both in PKM2 inhibitor and activator groups. It was suggested that PGK1 and PKM2 might be used as robust indicators to regulate meat quality by affecting the glycolysis, myofibrillar proteins, μ-calpain and apoptosis pathways in postmortem muscle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study aimed to explore the new and serious adverse events(AEs) of Tacrolimus(FK506), cyclosporine(CsA), azathioprine(AZA), mycophenolate mofetil(MMF), cyclophosphamide(CTX) and methotrexate(MTX), which have not been concerned. METHODS The FAERS data from January 2016 and December 2022 were selected for disproportionality analysis to discover the potential risks of traditional immunosuppressive drugs. RESULTS Compared with CsA, FK506 has more frequent transplant rejection, and is more related to renal impairment, COVID-19, cytomegalovirus infection and aspergillus infection. However, CsA has a high infection-related fatality rate. In addition, we also found some serious and rare AE in other drugs which were rarely reported in previous studies. For example, AZA is closely related to hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma with high fatality rate and MTX is strongly related to hypofibrinogenemia. CONCLUSION The AEs report on this study confirmed that the results were basically consistent with the previous studies, but there were also some important safety signals that were inconsistent with or not mentioned in previous published studies. EXPERT OPINION The opinion section discusses some of the limitations and shortcomings, proposing the areas where more effort should be invested in order to improve the safety of immunosuppressive drugs.

Abstract
Polyamines are a class of small polycationic alkylamines that play essential roles in both normal and cancer cell growth. Polyamine metabolism is frequently dysregulated and considered a therapeutic target in cancer. However, targeting polyamine metabolism as monotherapy often exhibits limited efficacy, and the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here we report that activation of polyamine catabolism promotes glutamine metabolism, leading to a targetable vulnerability in lung cancer. Genetic and pharmacological activation of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase 1 (SAT1), the rate-limiting enzyme of polyamine catabolism, enhances the conversion of glutamine to glutamate and subsequent glutathione (GSH) synthesis. This metabolic rewiring ameliorates oxidative stress to support lung cancer cell proliferation and survival. Simultaneous glutamine limitation and SAT1 activation result in ROS accumulation, growth inhibition, and cell death. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of either one of glutamine transport, glutaminase, or GSH biosynthesis in combination with activation of polyamine catabolism synergistically suppresses lung cancer cell growth and xenograft tumor formation. Together, this study unveils a previously unappreciated functional interconnection between polyamine catabolism and glutamine metabolism and establishes cotargeting strategies as potential therapeutics in lung cancer.

Abstract
Chordoma is a relatively rare and locally aggressive malignant tumor. Sirtuin (SIRT)5 plays pivotal roles in various tumors, but the role of SIRT5 in chordoma has not been found. This study was performed to investigate the regulatory effects of SIRT5 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and the underlying mechanism in chordoma. A xenograft tumor mouse model was established to assess tumor growth. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the mRNA levels of SIRT5 and c-myc. The effects of SIRT5 and c-myc on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of chordoma cells were detected by cell counting kit-8, colony formation, and Transwell assays. The interaction between SIRT5 and c-myc was evaluated by co-immunoprecipitation (IP) assay. The succinylation of c-myc was analyzed by IP and Western blot. The results showed that SIRT5 expression was upregulated in chordoma tissues and cells. SIRT5 interacted with c-myc to inhibit the succinylation of c-myc at K369 site in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293T cells. Silencing of SIRT5 suppressed the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of chordoma cells, while the results were reversed after c-myc overexpression. Moreover, silencing SIRT5 suppressed tumor growth in mice. These findings suggested that SIRT5 promoted the malignant advancement of chordoma by regulating the desuccinylation of c-myc.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fermented tofu processing wastewater (FTPW) on the growth performance and meat quality of Xianghuang broilers. A total of 160 six-week-old Xianghuang broilers were randomly assigned to control or FTPW groups with eight replicate pens of 10 birds each pen. Broilers received the same corn-soybean diet but different water. Broilers received ordinary water in the control group and 40% (volume: volume) FTPW (the solution has been filtered with four layers of sieve, containing Bacillus 1.52 × 10-7 CFU/mL) in FTPW group. The experiment lasted for 30 days. Results indicated that growth performance was not affected by treatment (p > 0.05). The value of pH45 min and a48 h increased and drip loss72 h and toughness decreased in breast muscle when broilers received FTPW solution compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The pH45 min, a45 min, a48 h value and crude fat concentration of thigh muscle were higher in FTPW group than that in control group (p < 0.05). Compared with control group, fibre area decreased but fibre density increased in thigh muscle when Xianghuang chickens supplemented with FTPW solution (p < 0.05). Supplementation of FTPW solution in drinking water significantly decreased malondialdehyde content in the breast muscle of Xianghuang chickens (p < 0.05). Gene expressions such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1) and glycogen synthase of breast muscle were downregulated in experimental group when compared with control group. In conclusion, FTPW supplementation in drinking water could improve meat quality of Xianghuang broilers by regulating pH value, redness and fibre morphology.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are two toxic metal(loid)s that pose significant risks to food security and human health. Silicon (Si) has attracted substantial attention because of its positive effects on alleviating the toxicity and accumulation of As and Cd in crops. However, our current knowledge of the comprehensive effects and detailed mechanisms of Si amendment is limited. In this study, a global meta-analysis of 248 original articles with over 7000 paired observations was conducted to evaluate Si-mediated effects on growth and As and Cd accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and maize (Zea mays L.). Si application increases the biomass of these crops under As and/or Cd contamination. Si amendment also decreased shoot As and Cd accumulation by 24.1 % (20.6 to 27.5 %) and 31.9 % (29.0 to 31.9 %), respectively. Furthermore, the Si amendment reduced the human health risks posed by As (2.6 %) and Cd (12.9 %) in crop grains. Si-induced inhibition of Cd accumulation is associated with decreased Cd bioavailability and the downregulation of gene expression. The regulation of gene expression by Si addition was the driving factor limiting shoot As accumulation. Overall, our analysis demonstrated that Si amendment has great potential to reduce the toxicity and accumulation of As and/or Cd in crops, providing a scientific basis for promoting food safety globally.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the characteristics of high frame rate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (H-CEUS) in renal lesions and to improve the ability for differential diagnosis of renal tumors. METHODS A total of 140 patients with renal lesions underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) examination in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from July 2022 to July 2023. Based on the tumor pathology and the results of enhanced CT, tumor patients were divided into malignant and benign groups. All subjects were examined using gray-scale ultrasound, conventional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (C-CEUS), and H-CEUS, and their dynamic images were recorded. Two radiologists independently analyzed and recorded the results of ultrasound, C-CEUS, and H-CEUS images and statistically analyzed the features of C-CEUS and H-CEUS images. The independent sample t-test was used to compare the difference in age and maximum diameter of nodules between the benign and malignant groups. The χ2 test was used to compare the sex, mode of operation, gray-scale ultrasound characteristics, and enhancement characteristics of the two CEUS modes (enhancement mode, regression mode, enhancement degree, enhancement uniformity, enhancement or not, enhancement direction, post-enhancement boundary and range, and pseudocapsule) between the benign and malignant groups. The difference in vascular morphology of malignant nodules of varying sizes under two angiographic modes. RESULTS There were significant differences in gender (χ2 = 10.408, P = 0.001), mode of operation (χ2 = 47.089, P < 0.001), nodule composition (χ2 = 7.481, P = 0.003), nodule echo (χ2 = 20.926, P < 0.001), necrosis (χ2 = 31.343, P < 0.001) and nodule blood flow (χ2 = 9.006, P = 0.029) between the benign and malignant groups. There were significant differences in the regression model (χ2 = 6.782, P = 0.034) and enhancement direction (χ2 = 13.771, P = 0.001) between the two radiographic techniques in the malignant group. There was a significant difference in the enhancement uniformity between the two CEUS techniques in the benign group (χ2 = 8.264, P = 0.004). There was a significant difference between the two CEUS techniques in displaying the vascular morphology in the malignant group with the maximum diameter of nodules ≤ 4.0 cm (χ2 = 11.421, P < 0.022). However, there was no significant difference between the two techniques in the malignant group with the maximum diameter of nodules > 4.0 cm. CONCLUSION Increasing the frame rate of ultrasound images is helpful to accurately display the enhanced features and vascular morphology of renal tumors, especially for malignant tumors with a maximum diameter of ≤ 4.0 cm. Thus, H-CEUS can make up for the limitation of CEUS with regard to the display of vascular morphology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endovascular aneurysm repair using iodinated contrast agents risks contrast-induced nephropathy, especially in high-risk patients. This technical note describes a contrast-free endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) protocol using preoperative imaging measurement and fibrin sealant (FS) filling. TECHNIQUE Preoperative imaging measurement and intraoperative guidewire manipulation facilitated anatomical identification without contrast. After endograft deployment, the aneurysm sac was filled with FS if endoleak was indicated by pressure fluctuations. RESULT Between 2017 and 2020, 6 high-risk patients underwent contrast-free EVAR with FS filling. Complete exclusion was achieved in all cases. Over follow-up, no endoleaks, deterioration in renal function, or other complications were observed. CONCLUSION Contrast-free EVAR with FS filling shows early feasibility as an alternative technique for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) high-risk patients, while larger studies with long-term monitoring are imperative to validate outcomes. CLINICAL IMPACT This study showcases a contrast-free EVAR technique with fibrin sealant filling for high-risk CIN patients. It offers a safer approach for those with renal challenges, reducing CIN risk. The technique's feasibility in a small cohort suggests its utility in treating AAA without iodinated contrast, crucial for patients with specific health risks. For clinicians, it introduces a method that decreases nephrotoxic risks, potentially changing practice for vulnerable patients.

Abstract
With rising society stress, depression-induced osteoporosis is increasing. However, the mechanism involved is unclear. In this study, we explored the effect of plasma exosomal miRNAs on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression rat model. After 12 weeks of CUMS-induced depression, the pathological changes in the bone tissue and markers of osteogenic differentiation were tested by micro-computed tomography, hematoxylin-eosin staining, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Plasma exosomes from rats were isolated and co-incubated with BMSCs for 14 d to detect the effect on osteogenic markers. Next-generation sequencing identified the miRNAs in the plasma exosomes, and the differential miRNAs were analyzed and verified by qRT-PCR. BMSCs were infected with lentivirus to upregulate miRNA-30a-5p and incubated in a medium that induced osteogenic differentiation for 14 d. The effect of miR-30a-5p on osteogenic differentiation was determined by qPCR and alizarin red staining. CUMS-induced depression rat model was established successfully, and exhibited reduced bone mass and damaged bone microstructure compared to that of the controls. The observed pathological changes suggested the occurrence of osteoporosis in the CUMS group, and the mRNA expression of osteogenic markers was also significantly reduced. Incubation of BMSCs with plasma exosomes from the CUMS group for 14 d resulted in a significant decrease in the expression of osteogenic markers. Twenty-five differentially expressed miRNAs in plasma exosomes were identified and upregulation of miR-30a-5p was observed to significantly inhibit the expression of osteogenic markers in BMSCs. Our findings contributed to a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of osteoporosis caused by depression, and demonstrated the potential of miR-30a-5p as a novel biomarker or therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
AIM To determine the effectiveness of brief reminiscence-based psychosocial interventions in alleviating psychological distress in cancer patients. BACKGROUND Cancer patients suffer tremendous psycho-spiritual pain, which affects their quality of life. Brief reminiscence-based psychosocial interventions have demonstrated positive effects on the mental health of cancer patients; however, the efficacy of these interventions has been inconsistent. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS This review was conducted and reported in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 checklist provided by the EQUATOR network. The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Scopus databases were systematically searched from inception to 27 November 2022 to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published in English. RESULTS Twenty studies involving 1744 cancer participants were included. The meta-analysis showed statistically significant effects of brief reminiscence-based psychosocial interventions on hope, anxiety and depression at post-intervention. A separate analysis revealed that brief reminiscence-based psychosocial interventions had a sustainable effect on hope, spiritual well-being, anxiety and depression at 1 month after the intervention. However, no statistically significant effect on quality of life was found in our study either immediately after the intervention or at 1 month. CONCLUSIONS Brief reminiscence-based psychosocial interventions can significantly reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve hope and spiritual well-being in cancer patients. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This study further supports that brief reminiscence-based psychosocial interventions should be incorporated into the routine care of cancer patients to address their psychosocial distress. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION All authors of this article contributed to the study conception and design. All authors of the included studies provided original data for this paper.

Abstract
In diploid mammals, allele-specific three-dimensional (3D) genome architecture may lead to imbalanced gene expression. Through ultradeep in situ Hi-C sequencing of three representative somatic tissues (liver, skeletal muscle, and brain) from hybrid pigs generated by reciprocal crosses of phenotypically and physiologically divergent Berkshire and Tibetan pigs, we uncover extensive chromatin reorganization between homologous chromosomes across multiple scales. Haplotype-based interrogation of multi-omic data revealed the tissue dependence of 3D chromatin conformation, suggesting that parent-of-origin-specific conformation may drive gene imprinting. We quantify the effects of genetic variations and histone modifications on allelic differences of long-range promoter-enhancer contacts, which likely contribute to the phenotypic differences between the parental pig breeds. We also observe the fine structure of somatically paired homologous chromosomes in the pig genome, which has a functional implication genome-wide. This work illustrates how allele-specific chromatin architecture facilitates concomitant shifts in allele-biased gene expression, as well as the possible consequential phenotypic changes in mammals.

Abstract
Given the prevalent advancements in DNA- and RNA-based PROTACs, there remains a significant need for the exploration and expansion of more specific DNA-based tools, thus broadening the scope and repertoire of DNA-based PROTACs. Unlike conventional A- or B-form DNA, Z-form DNA is a configuration that exclusively manifests itself under specific stress conditions and with specific target sequences, which can be recognized by specific reader proteins, such as ADAR1 or ZBP1, to exert downstream biological functions. The core of our innovation lies in the strategic engagement of Z-form DNA with ADAR1 and its degradation is achieved by leveraging a VHL ligand conjugated to Z-form DNA to recruit the E3 ligase. This ingenious construct engendered a series of Z-PROTACs, which we utilized to selectively degrade the Z-DNA-binding protein ADAR1, a molecule that is frequently overexpressed in cancer cells. This meticulously orchestrated approach triggers a cascade of PANoptotic events, notably encompassing apoptosis and necroptosis, by mitigating the blocking effect of ADAR1 on ZBP1, particularly in cancer cells compared with normal cells. Moreover, the Z-PROTAC design exhibits a pronounced predilection for ADAR1, as opposed to other Z-DNA readers, such as ZBP1. As such, Z-PROTAC likely elicits a positive immunological response, subsequently leading to a synergistic augmentation of cancer cell death. In summary, the Z-DNA-based PROTAC (Z-PROTAC) approach introduces a modality generated by the conformational change from B- to Z-form DNA, which harnesses the structural specificity intrinsic to potentiate a selective degradation strategy. This methodology is an inspiring conduit for the advancement of PROTAC-based therapeutic modalities, underscoring its potential for selectivity within the therapeutic landscape of PROTACs to target undruggable proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellular functions hinge on the meticulous orchestration of protein transport, both spatially and temporally. Central to this process is retrograde trafficking, responsible for targeting proteins to the nucleus. Despite its link to many diseases, the implications of retrograde trafficking in glioblastoma (GBM) are still unclear. METHODS To identify genetic drivers of TMZ resistance, we conducted comprehensive CRISPR-knockout screening, revealing ADP-ribosylation factor 4 (ARF4), a regulator of retrograde trafficking, as a major contributor. RESULTS Suppressing ARF4 significantly enhanced TMZ sensitivity in GBM patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, leading to improved survival rates (p<0.01) in both primary and recurrent lines. We also observed that TMZ exposure stimulates ARF4-mediated retrograde trafficking. Proteomics analysis of GBM cells with varying levels of ARF4 unveiled the influence of this pathway on EGFR signaling, with increased nuclear trafficking of EGFR observed in cells with ARF4 overexpression and TMZ treatment. Additionally, spatially-resolved RNA-sequencing of GBM patient tissues revealed substantial correlations between ARF4 and crucial nuclear EGFR (nEGFR) downstream targets, such as MYC, STAT1, and DNA-PK. Decreased activity of DNA-PK, a DNA repair protein downstream of nEGFR signaling that contributes to TMZ resistance, was observed in cells with suppressed ARF4 levels. Notably, treatment with DNA-PK inhibitor, KU57788, in mice with a recurrent PDX line resulted in prolonged survival (p<0.01), highlighting the promising therapeutic implications of targeting proteins reliant on ARF4-mediated retrograde trafficking. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that ARF4-mediated retrograde trafficking contributes to the development of TMZ resistance, cementing this pathway as a viable strategy to overcome chemoresistance in GBM.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk prediction and assessment function of HLA-DPB1 T-cell epitope (TCE) model and expression model in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MUD-HSCT) with HLA-DPB1 mismatching. Methods: A total of 364 (182 pairs) potential MUD-HSCT donors and recipients confirmed by HLA high-resolution typing in Shaanxi Blood Center from 2016 to 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 182 recipients, there were 121 males and 61 females with an average age of (26.3±14.2) years. Of the 182 donors, there were 148 males and 34 females with an average age of (33.7±7.5) years. Polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT), next-generation sequencing (NGS) and polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide probe (PCR-SSO) based on LABScan®3D platform were used for high-resolution typing of HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQB1, DPB1 gene, and PCR-SBT was used for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing. TCE model and expression model were used to predict and evaluate the HLA-DPB1 mismatch pattern and acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) risk. Results: A total of 26 HLA-DPB1 alleles and their 3'-UTR rs9277534 SNP genotypes were detected in this study population, and two new alleles HLA-DPB1*1052∶01 and HLA-DPB1*1119∶01 were found and officially named. The overall mismatch rate of HLA-DPB1 in MUD-HSCT donors and recipients was 90.66% (165/182). In TCE model, the HLA-DPB1 mismatch rates of permissible mismatch (PM) and non-permissible mismatch (non-PM) were 47.80% (87/182) and 42.86% (78/182), respectively. The non-PM in GvH direction was 13.73% (25/182), and which in HvG direction was 29.12% (53/182). A total of 73 pairs of donors and recipients in TCE model met the evaluation criteria of expression model. Among of TCE PM group, recipient DP5 mismatches accounted for 34.25% (25/73) were predicted as aGVHD high risk according to expression model. For the TCE non-PM group, both the recipient DP2 mismatches of 6.85% (5/73) and recipient DP5 mismatches of 10.86% (8/73) were predicted to be at high risk for aGVHD. Risk prediction by TCE model and expression model was 27.27% concordant and 16.97% unconcordant. Conclusions: TCE model and expression model are effective tools to predict aGVHD risk of MUD-HSCT. Comprehensive application of the two models is helpful to the hierarchical assessment of HSCT risk.

Abstract
SCOPE Iron deposition is frequently observed in alcoholic liver disease (ALD), which indicates a potential role of ferroptosis in its development. This study aims to explore the effects of quercetin on ferroptosis in ALD and elucidates the underlying mechanism involving the formation of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) mediated by protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK). METHODS AND RESULTS C57BL/6J mice are fed either a regular or an ethanol-containing liquid diet (with 28% energy form ethanol) with or without quercetin supplementation (100 mg kg-1 BW) for 12 weeks. Ethanol feeding or treatment induced ferroptosis in mice and AML12 cells, which is associated with increased MAMs formation and PERK expression within MAMs. Quercetin attenuates these changes and protects against ethanol-induced liver injury. The antiferroptotic effect of quercetin is abolished by ferroptosis inducers, but mimicked by ferroptosis inhibitors and PERK knockdown. The study demonstrates that PERK structure, rather than its kinase activity (transfected with the K618A site mutation that inhibits kinase activity-ΔK plasmid or protein C terminal knockout-ΔC plasmid of PERK), mediates the enhanced MAMs formation and ferroptosis during the ethanol exposure. CONCLUSION Quercetin ameliorates ethanol-induced liver injury by inhibiting ferroptosis via modulating PERK-dependent MAMs formation.
