Abstract
This work aims to study the effects of oral gavage (0.2 mg/g body weight) of elaidic acid (C18:1-9 t, EA) and linoelaidic acid (C18:2-9 t,12 t, LEA) on lipid metabolism, inflammation and gut homeostasis of mice. Results showed that both EA and LEA gavage significantly increased LDL-c, TC and oxidative stress levels in the liver and serum and may stimulate liver inflammation via NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathway. Compared with EA, LEA gavage significantly promoted TAG accumulation and inflammatory signaling. Serum lipidomics revealed that LEA intake significantly increased the concentration of ∼50 TAGs, while EA gavage primarily caused significant decreases in several SMs. 16S rRNA demonstrated that LEA ingestion markedly changed fecal microbiota by enriching Lactobacillus (phylum Firmicutes), however, EA treatment did not affect it. Overall, LEA gavage has more severe consequences on TAG accumulation, inflammation and microbial structure than EA, highlighting that the number of trans double bonds affects these processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension, a highly prevalent chronic disease, is known to inflict severe damage upon blood vessels. In our previous study, isoliensinine, a kind of bibenzyl isoquinoline alkaloid which isolated from a TCM named Lotus Plumule (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn), exhibits antihypertensive and vascular smooth muscle proliferation-inhibiting effects, but its application is limited due to poor water solubility and low bioavailability. In this study, we proposed to prepare isoliensinine loaded by PEG-PLGA polymer nanoparticles to increase its efficacy METHOD: We synthesized and thoroughly characterized PEG-PLGA nanoparticles loaded with isoliensinine using a nanoprecipitation method, denoted as, PEG-PLGA@Isoliensinine. Additionally, we conducted comprehensive investigations into the stability of PEG-PLGA@Isoliensinine, in vitro drug release profiles, and in vivo pharmacokinetics. Furthermore, we assessed the antihypertensive efficacy of this nano-system through in vitro experiments on A7R5 cells and in vivo studies using AngII-induced mice. RESULT The findings reveal that PEG-PLGA@Isoliensinine significantly improves isoliensinine absorption by A7R5 cells and enhances targeted in vivo distribution. This translates to a more effective reduction of AngII-induced hypertension and vascular smooth muscle proliferation. CONCLUSION In this study, we successfully prepared PEG-PLGA@Isoliensinine by nano-precipitation, and we confirmed that PEG-PLGA@Isoliensinine surpasses free isoliensinine in its effectiveness for the treatment of hypertension, as demonstrated through both in vivo and in vitro experiments. SIGNIFICANCE This study lays the foundation for isoliensinine's clinical use in hypertension treatment and vascular lesion protection, offering new insights for enhancing the bioavailability of traditional Chinese medicine components. Importantly, no toxicity was observed, affirming the successful implementation of this innovative drug delivery system in vivo and offers a promising strategy for enhancing the effectiveness of Isoliensinine and propose an innovative avenue for developing novel formulations of traditional Chinese medicine monomers.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze and evaluate the expressions and clinical value of tuftelin (TUFT1) and Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues. Method: KLF5 mRNA and TUFT1 mRNA transcriptional status in cancer and non-cancer groups were compared according to the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The differences and prognostic value between the groups were analyzed. Postoperative liver cancer and its paired pericancerous tissues, with the approval of the ethics committee, were collected to build tissue chips. The expression of KLF5 and TUFT1 and their intracellular localization were verified by immunohistochemistry. Tissue expression and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed by immunoblotting. SPSS software was used to analyze the relationship between SPSS and patient prognosis. Results: The transcription level of TUFT1 or KLF5 mRNA was significantly higher in the HCC group than the non-cancer group (P < 0.001), according to TCGA data. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting examination confirmed the overexpression of TUFT1 and KLF5 in human HCC tissues, which were mainly localized in the cytoplasm and cell membrane. The positivity rates of TUFT1 and KLF5 were 87.1% ( χ(2) = 18.563, P < 0.001) and 95.2% ( χ(2) = 96.435, P < 0.001) in HCC tissues, and both were significantly higher than those in the adjacent group. The expression intensity was higher in stage III-IV than stage I-II of the International Union Against Cancer standard (P < 0.01). The clinicopathological features showed that the abnormalities of the two were significantly related to HBV infection, tumor size, extrahepatic metastasis, TNM stage, and ascites. Univariate analysis was related to tumor size, HBV infection, and survival. Multivariate analysis was an independent prognostic factor for patients with HCC. Conclusion: TUFT1 and KLF5 may both be novel markers possessing clinical value in the diagnosis and prognosis of HBV-related HCC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence rate and risk factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). Methods: The incidence rate of NAFLD in 115 females with SCZ over 40 years of age with complete clinical data was analyzed with the consent of the Ethics Committee of Nantong Fourth People's Hospital. A physical examination report of healthy subjects (n = 95, female, age 40 years old or older) was taken as the control group. Natural language processing technology was used to extract relevant data from the patient's electronic medical record system. Body mass index, alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, leptin, and adiponectin were used to establish a human NAFLD-related model. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the psychiatric symptoms, and physiological and biochemical indexes for the predictive value of NAFLD in female patients with SCZ. Results: The prevalence of NAFLD was significantly higher in the SCZ group (55.7%, 64/115) than that in the control group (26.3%, 25/95) (χ (2) = 18.335, P < 0.001). The prediction model showed that age, alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, leptin, adiponectin, and body mass index were significantly correlated with NAFLD in females with SCZ. In the natural language processing search language model, arousal intensity (movements: uncontrolled running behavior) and emotional apathy were strongly linked to female patients with SCZ with NAFLD. Age, alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, leptin, and body mass index were risk factors for SCZ to develop NAFLD, and adiponectin levels and uncontrolled running behavior were protective factors. Conclusion: The incidence rate of NAFLD is high in middle-aged and elderly females with SCZ. Natural language processing can help to automatically identify the risk factors for SCZ combined with NAFLD and has predictive and auxiliary diagnostic value.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of isoliensinine, a kind of bibenzyl isoquinoline alkaloid which isolated from a TCM named Lotus Plumule (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn), in treating renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) by using RNA sequencing, KEGG analysis and in vivo experimental approaches. Methods Spontaneous hypertension rats (SHRs) were randomly assigned into five groups, consisting of SHR, SHR+Isoliensinine-L (2.5 mg/kg/day), SHR+Isoliensinine-M (5 mg/kg/day), SHR+Isoliensinine-H (10 mg/kg/day), and SHR+Valsartan (10 mg/kg/day) groups (n = 6 for each group). A control group of Wistar Kyoto rats (n = 6) was also included. Rats were treated intragastrically with isoliensinine, valsartan, or double-distilled water of equal volume for 10 weeks. To examine the therapeutic impact on hypertensive renal injury, fibrosis, and its underlying mechanisms, multiple techniques were employed, including hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson trichrome staining, RNA sequencing, gene ontology (GO) function and pathway enrichment analysis and immunohistochemistry. Results Resultantly, the use of isoliensinine at different concentrations or valsartan showed significant improvement in renal pathological injury in SHRs. RNA sequencing and KEGG analysis uncovered 583 differentially expressed transcripts and pathways enriched in collagen formation and ECM-receptor interaction after treatment with isoliensinine. There was also a reduction in the increase of collagen and upregulation of collagen I & III, TGF-β1, p-Smad2, and p-Smad3 in the renal tissue of SHRs. Thus, isoliensinine ameliorated renal injury and collagen deposition in hypertensive rats, and inhibiting the activation of the TGF-β1/Smad2/3 pathway might be one of the underlying mechanisms. Conclusion This study showed that treatment with isoliensinine effectively reduced the renal injury and fibrosis in SHRs. In addition, isoliensinine inhibited the TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling in-vivo. These findings provided strong evidence for the therapeutic benefits of isoliensinine in combating renal injury and fibrosis.

Abstract
Aging, often considered a result of random cellular damage, can be accurately estimated using DNA methylation profiles, the foundation of pan-tissue epigenetic clocks. Here, we demonstrate the development of universal pan-mammalian clocks, using 11,754 methylation arrays from our Mammalian Methylation Consortium, which encompass 59 tissue types across 185 mammalian species. These predictive models estimate mammalian tissue age with high accuracy (r > 0.96). Age deviations correlate with human mortality risk, mouse somatotropic axis mutations and caloric restriction. We identified specific cytosines with methylation levels that change with age across numerous species. These sites, highly enriched in polycomb repressive complex 2-binding locations, are near genes implicated in mammalian development, cancer, obesity and longevity. Our findings offer new evidence suggesting that aging is evolutionarily conserved and intertwined with developmental processes across all mammals.

Abstract
Background: Qing Hua Chang Yin (QHCY) is a famous formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and has been proven to have protective effect on ulcerative colitis. However, its protective effect and potential therapeutic mechanisms in chronic colitis remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects and underlying mechanisms of QHCY on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced chronic colitis mice model. Methods: The chronic colitis model was established by administration of 2% DSS for three consecutive cycles of 7 days with two intervals of 14 days for recovery by drinking water. The experiment lasted 49 days. The DSS + QHCY group received QHCY administration by oral gavage at doses of 1.6 g/kg/d, DSS + Mesalazine group was administrated Mesalazine by oral gavage at doses of 0.2 g/kg/d. The control and DSS group were given equal volume of distilled water. The body weight, stool consistency and blood in stool were monitored every 2 days. The disease activity index (DAI) was calculated. The colon length was measured after the mice were sacrificed. The histomorphology of colonic tissues was checked by the HE and PAS staining. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin) and Mucin2 (MUC2). 16S rRNA sequencing analysis was conducted to study the diversity and abundance of gut microbiota changes. Results: QHCY treatment not only significantly attenuated DSS-induced the weight loss, DAI score increase, colon shortening and histological damage in mice, but also decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in colonic tissues and increased the expression of ZO-1, occludin, and MUC2. Furthermore, QHCY enhanced the diversity of gut microbes and regulated the structure and composition of intestinal microflora in mice with chronic colitis. Conclusion: QHCY has a therapeutic effect on a murine model of chronic colitis. It can effectively reduce the clinical and pathological manifestations of colitis and prevent alterations in the gut microbiota.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of CT-guided partial radiofrequency ablation of bilateral responsible cranial nerves in the treatment of Meige syndrome. Methods: The Clinical data of 56 patients with Meige syndrome in the Department of Pain Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from June 2019 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed [19 males and 37 females, aged 42-76 (58.6±8.3) years], including 51 cases of blepharospasm, 3 cases of oromandibular dystonia and 2 cases of blepharospasm concomitant with oromandibular dystonia. CT-guided partial radiofrequency ablation of bilateral responsible cranial nerves was performed on different types of Meige syndrome. And the efficacy and complications of the technique were observed. Results: Fifty-one patients with blepharospasm Meige syndrome underwent CT-guided radiofrequency of facial nerve through bilateral stylomastoid foramen punctures, the symptoms of blepharospasm disappeared completely, leaving bilateral mild and moderate facial paralysis symptoms. Three patients with oral-mandibular dystonia underwent CT-guided radiofrequency therapy by bilateral foramen ovale puncture of mandibular branches of trigeminal nerve, masticatory muscle spasm disappeared, the patients had no difficulty opening the mouth, and the skin numbness in bilateral mandibular nerve innervation area was left. Two cases of Meige syndrome with blepharospasm concomitant with oromandibular dystonia were treated by radiofrequency of facial nerve and mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve, and all symptoms disappeared. The patients were followed up for 1-44 months after the operation, and the symptoms of mild and moderate facial paralysis disappeared at (3.2±0.8) months after the operation, but the numbness did not disappear. Three patients with blepharospasm recurred at the 14, 18 and 22 months after the operation, respectively, while the rest cases did not recur. Conclusions: According to different types of Meige syndrome, CT-guided partial radiofrequency ablation of responsible cranial nerves can effectively treat the corresponding type of Meige syndrome. The complications are only mild and moderate facial paralysis which can be recovered, and/or skin numbness in the mandibular region.

Abstract
Protein-polyphenol colloidal particles are promising stabilizers for high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs). However, the relationship between the structure of the polyphenols and its ability to stabilize HIPPEs has not been studied thus far. In this study, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-polyphenols (B-P) complexes were prepared, and their ability to stabilize HIPPEs was investigated. The polyphenols were bound to BSA via non-covalent interactions. Optically isomeric polyphenols formed similar bonds with BSA, whereas a greater number of trihydroxybenzoyl groups or hydroxyl groups in the dihydroxyphenyl moieties of polyphenols increased the B-P interactions. Polyphenols also reduced the interfacial tension and enhanced the wettability at the oil-water interface. The HIPPE stabilized by BSA-tannic acid complex exhibited the highest stability among the B-P complexes and resisted demixing and aggregation during centrifugation. This study promotes the potential applications of polyphenol-protein colloidal particles-stabilized HIPPEs in the food industry.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser combined with fractional micro-plasma radiofrequency (FMR) therapy and 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser in the treatment of atrophic acne scars. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled research was conducted. A total of 100 atrophic acne scar patients (38 males and 62 females, aged 18-37 years) who were treated in the Scar Laser Clinic of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2018 to March 2021 and conformed to the inclusion criteria were recruited. The patients were randomly divided into erbium laser+FMR group and erbium laser alone group, with 50 cases in each group. The facial acne scars of patients in erbium laser alone group were treated with 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser, while the facial acne scars of patients in erbium laser+FMR group were treated with erbium laser as above, besides, the scars of U and M types were treated with FMR, once every 3 months for a total of 3 times. Before the first treatment and 3 months after each treatment, the Echelle D'Assessment Clinique des Cicatrices D'Acne (ECCA) was used to score the scar. The occurrence of adverse reaction during the treatment process was observed and recorded, and the incidence was calculated. Three months after the last treatment, the 5-level classification method was used to evaluate the satisfaction of patients with the treatment effect, and the satisfaction rate was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test and chi-square test. Results: A total of 89 patients completed the study, including 46 patients in erbium laser+FMR group (19 males and 27 females, aged (26±5) years) and 43 patients in erbium laser alone group (15 males and 28 females, aged (27±6) years). The ECCA scores before the first treatment and 3 months after the first treatment of patients were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). The ECCA scores of patients in erbium laser+FMR group at 3 months after the second and third treatment were 72±23 and 61±18, respectively, which were significantly lower than 85±26 and 76±25 in erbium laser alone group (with t values of -2.45 and -3.26, respectively, P<0.05). During the treatment process, the incidence of adverse reaction of patients in erbium laser+FMR group and erbium laser alone group were 23.91% (11/46) and 16.28% (7/43), respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The satisfaction rate of patients in erbium laser+FMR group was 78.26% (36/46) at 3 months after the last treatment, which was significantly higher than 53.49% (23/43) in erbium laser alone group (χ2=6.10, P<0.05). Conclusions: The 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser combined with FMR is superior to 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser alone in the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars, achieving significantly higher efficacy without significantly increasing the incidence of adverse reaction, and patients are more satisfied with the efficacy. It can be used as a recommended therapy in clinical practice.

Abstract
Ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major pathogenic factor in acute kidney injury (AKI), which directly leads to the hypoxic injury of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs). Although emerging studies suggest repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) as a master regulator of gene repression under hypoxia, its role in AKI remains elusive. Here, we found that REST was upregulated in AKI patients, mice, and RTECs, which was positively associated with the degree of kidney injury, while renal tubule-specific knockout of Rest significantly alleviated AKI and its progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Subsequent mechanistic studies indicated that suppression of ferroptosis was responsible for REST-knockdown-induced amelioration of hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, during which process Cre-expressing adenovirus-mediated REST downregulation attenuated ferroptosis through upregulating glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM) in primary RTECs. Further, REST transcriptionally repressed GCLM expression via directly binding to its promoter region. In conclusion, our findings revealed the involvement of REST, a hypoxia regulatory factor, in AKI-to-CKD transition and identified the ferroptosis-inducing effect of REST, which may serve as a promising therapeutic target for ameliorating AKI and its progression to CKD.

Abstract
Chlorinated nitroaromatic antibiotic chloramphenicol (CAP) is a persistent pollutant that is widely present in environments. A H2 transfer membrane biofilm reactor (H2-MBfR) and short-term batch tests were setup to investigate the co-removal of CAP and NO3-. Results showed that the presence of CAP (<10 mg L-1) has no effect on the denitrification process while 100% removal efficiency of CAP can be obtained when nitrate was absent. Nitroaromatic reduction and completely dechlorination were successfully realized when CAP was removed. The CAP transformation product p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) was detected and batch tests revealed that the hydroxy carboxylation was far faster than nitroaromatic reduction when p-nitrobenzyl alcohol (PNBOH) was conversed to p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). The path way of CAP degradation was proposed based on the intermediate's analysis. Microbial community analysis indicated that Pleomorphomonadaceae accounts for the dechlorination of CAP.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of pulsed radiofrequency of dorsal root ganglion combined with ozone injection on acute herpes zoster neuralgia in the neck and upper extremities. Methods: A total of 110 patients with acute phase herpes zoster neuralgia in the neck and upper extremities treated in the Department of Pain of Jiaxing First Hospital from January 2019 to February 2020 were retrospectively included. The patients were divided into two groups according to different treatment modalities: the pulsed radiofrequency group (group A, n=68) and the pulsed radiofrequency combined with ozone injection group (group B, n=42). In group A, there were 40 males and 28 females, aged (71.9±9.9) years, while group B consisted of 23 males and 19 females, aged (66.3±16.9) years. Patients were followed up, and numerical rating scale (NRS) score, dose of adjuvant gabapentin, incidence of clinically significant postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and adverse effects were recorded preoperatively (T0) and at 1 d (T1), 3 d (T2), 1 week (T3), 1 month (T4), 2 months (T5), and 3 months (T6) postoperatively. Results: The NRS score of patients [M (Q1, Q3)] in group A at time points T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 was 6 (6, 6), 2 (2, 2), 3 (3, 4), 3 (2, 3), 2 (2, 3), 2 (1, 3) , 1 (0, 2), respectively, while the NRS score at aforementioned time points in group B was 6 (6, 6), 2 (1, 2), 3 (3, 4), 3 (2, 3), 2 (2, 3), 2 (1, 3), 1 (0, 2), respectively. Compared with preoperative NRS scores, NRS scores decreased in both groups at all postoperative time points (all P<0.05). Compared with group A, the NRS scores of group B at time points T3, T4, T5, and T6 decreased more significantly, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The dose of gabapentin in group A [M (Q1, Q3)] was 0.6 (0.6, 0.6), 0.3 (0.3, 0.6), 0.3 (0.0, 0.3) and 0.0 (0.0, 0.3) mg/d at time points T0, T4, T5, and T6, respectively, and 0.6 (0.6, 0.6), 0.3 (0.2, 0.3), 0.0 (0.0, 0.3) 0.0 (0.0, 0.0) mg/d in patients in group B, respectively. Compared with the preoperative period, the doses of gabapentin taken by patients in both groups reduced significantly at all postoperative time points (all P<0.05). Moreover, compared with group A, the gabapentin dose in group B decreased more significantly at time points T4, T5, and T6, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The incidence of clinically significant PHN was 25.0% (17/68) and 7.1% (3/42) in groups A and B, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P=0.018). No serious adverse effects such as pneumothorax, spinal cord injury and hematoma were observed during the treatment period in both groups. Conclusion: Pulsed radiofrequency of dorsal root ganglion combined with ozone injection is safer and more effective for the treatment of acute phase herpes zoster neuralgia in the neck and upper extremities, and it can reduce the incidence of clinically significant PHN, with high safety profile.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of posterior root of spinal nerve in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Methods: A total of 102 PHN patients (42 males and 60 females) aged (69.7±9.4) years who underwent CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of posterior root of spinal nerve in the Department of Pain Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2017 to April 2020 were retrospectively included. Patients were followed up, and numerical rating scale (NRS) score, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), satisfaction score and complications before surgery (T0) and at 1 d (T1), 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3), 9 months (T4) and 12 months (T5) after surgery were recorded. Results: The NRS score of PHN patients at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 [M(Q1, Q3)] was 6(6, 7), 2(2, 3), 3(2, 4), 3(2, 4), 2(1, 4), 2(1, 4), respectively. Likewise, the PSQI score [M(Q1, Q3)] at aforementioned time points was 14(13, 16), 4(3, 6), 6(4, 8), 5(4, 6), 4(2, 8), 4(2, 9), respectively. Compared with T0, the NRS and PSQI scores at all time points from T1 to T5 were lower, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). The overall effective rate of surgery at 1 year postoperatively was 71.6% (73/102) with a satisfaction score of 8(5, 9), and the recurrence rate was 14.7% (15/102) with a recurrence time of (7.5±0.8) months. The main postoperative complication was numbness, with an incidence of 86.0% (88/102), and the degree of numbness gradually decreased with time. Conclusion: CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of posterior root of spinal nerve for PHN has a high effective rate and a low recurrence rate, with high safety profile, and may be a feasible surgical option for the treatment of PHN.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI); thus, novel therapeutic strategies maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis are highly anticipated. Recent studies have shown that cobaltosic oxide has peroxidase-like catalytic activities, although its role and mechanism remain elusive in AKI. In the present study, we synthesized and identified cobaltosic oxide-polyethylene glycol-triphenylphosphine (COPT) nanoparticles by conjugating cobaltosic oxide with polyethylene glycol and triphenylphosphine, to improve its biocompatibility and mitochondria-targeting property. We found that COPT preferentially accumulated in the kidney proximal tubule cells, and significantly alleviated ischemic AKI in mouse models and gentamicin induced-AKI in the zebrafish model. COPT also inhibited the transition from AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD), with few side effects. Further studies demonstrated that COPT localized in the mitochondria, and ameliorated hypoxia-reoxygenation-mediated mitochondrial damage through enhancing mitophagy in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, COPT dose-dependently induced the expression of Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein (BNIP3), while knockdown of BNIP3 attenuated COPT-induced mitophagic flux and mitochondrial protection. Thus, our findings suggest that COPT nanoparticles ameliorate AKI and its progression to CKD through inducing BNIP3-mediated mitophagy, indicating that COPT may serve as a promising mitochondria-targeting therapeutic agent against AKI.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of mechanical tension on the formation of hypertrophic scars in rabbit ears and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad signaling pathway. Methods: The experimental research method was adopted. Six New Zealand white rabbits, male or female, aged 3-5 months were used and 5 full-thickness skin defect wounds were made on the ventral surface of each rabbit ear. The appearance of all rabbit ear wounds was observed on post surgery day (PSD) 0 (immediately), 7, 14, 21, and 28. On PSD 28, the scar formation rate was calculated. Three mature scars in the left ear of each rabbit were included in tension group and the arch was continuously expanded with a spiral expander. Three mature scars in the right ear of each rabbit were included in sham tension group and only the spiral expander was sutured without expansion. There were 18 scars in each group. After mechanical tension treatment (hereinafter referred to as treatment) for 40 days, the color and texture of scar tissue in the two groups were observed. On treatment day 40, the scar elevation index (SEI) was observed and calculated; the histology was observed after hematoxylin eosin staining, and the collagen morphology was observed after Masson staining; mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, Smad3, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in scar tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; and the protein expressions of TGF-β1, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-SMA, and phosphorylation level of Smad3 in scar tissue were detected by Western blotting. The number of samples of each group in the experiments was 3. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test. Results: On PSD 0, 5 fresh wounds were formed on all the rabbit ears; on PSD 7, the wounds were scabbed; on PSD 14, most of the wounds were epithelialized; on PSD 21, all the wounds were epithelialized; on PSD 28, obvious hypertrophic scars were formed. The scar formation rate was 75% (45/60) on PSD 28. On treatment day 40, the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group was more prominent than that in sham tension group, the scar tissue was harder and the color was more ruddy; the SEI of the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group (2.02±0.08) was significantly higher than 1.70±0.08 in sham tension group (t=5.07, P<0.01). On treatment day 40, compared with those in sham tension group, the stratum corneum of scar tissue became thicker, and a large number of new capillaries, inflammatory cells, and fibroblasts were observed in the dermis, and collagen was more disordered, with nodular or swirling distribution in the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group. On treatment day 40, the mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, Smad3, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-SMA in the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group were respectively 1.81±0.25, 5.71±0.82, 7.86±0.56, 4.35±0.28, and 5.89±0.47, which were significantly higher than 1.00±0.08, 1.00±0.12, 1.00±0.13, 1.00±0.14, and 1.00±0.14 in sham tension group (with t values of 5.36, 9.82, 20.60, 18.26, and 17.13, respectively, all P<0.01); the protein expressions of TGF-β1, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-SMA, and phosphorylation level of Smad3 in the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group were respectively 0.865±0.050, 0.895±0.042, 0.972±0.027, 1.012±0.057, and 0.968±0.087, which were significantly higher than 0.657±0.050, 0.271±0.029, 0.631±0.027, 0.418±0.023, and 0.511±0.035 in sham tension group (with t values of 5.08, 21.27, 15.55, 16.70, and 8.40, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions: Mechanical tension can inhibit the regression of hypertrophic scars in rabbit ears through stimulating the hyperplasia of scars, inhibiting the normal arrangement of dermal collagen fibers, and intensifying the deposition of collagen fibers, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway by mechanical tension.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD) or metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. In recent years, the relationship between NAFLD and non-coding RNA (ncRNA) has attracted the attention of basic and clinical researchers. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a lipid metabolism-related non-coding RNA (ncRNA) that is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells and resembles but differs from linear ncRNAs at their 5'- and 3'-terminal ends. With tissue-specific and steady expression of endogenous ncRNA, miRNA binding sites are contained on closed and circular nucleoside chains, forming the circRNA-miR-mRNA axis or network with proteins, competing with endogenous RNA sponge-like mechanisms, playing a role in inhibiting or promoting the expression of related target genes, and participating in the progression of NAFLD. This paper reviews the circRNA regulatory mechanism, detection technology, and potential clinical value in NAFLD.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the follow-up and clinical effect of multidisciplinary treatment on the children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Methods: The clinical data including nutritional status, respiratory function, bone health and motor function of 45 children with SMA who received multidisciplinary management 1-year follow-up in the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2019 to October 2021 were retrospectively collected. Comparisons before and after management were performed using paired-samples t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, etc. Results: The age of 45 patients (25 boys and 20 girls) was 50.4 (33.6, 84.0) months at the enrollment, with 6 cases of type 1, 22 cases of type 2, and 17 cases of type 3 respectively. After the multidisciplinary management, the cases of SMA patients with malnutrition decreased from 22 to 12 (P=0.030), the level of vitamin D were significantly increased ((45±17) vs. (48±14) nmol/L, t=-4.13, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the forced vital capacity %pred, the forced expiratory volume at 1 second %pred, and the peak expiratory flow %pred ((76±19)% and (76±21)%, (81±18)% and (79±18)%, (81±21)% and (78±17)%; t=-0.24, 1.36, 1.21; all P>0.05). The Cobbs angle of scoliosis also improved significantly (8.0°(0°, 13.0°) vs. 10.0°(0°, 18.5°), Z=-3.01, P=0.003). The Hammersmith functional motor scale expanded scores of children with SMA type 2 and type 3 both showed significant elevation (11.0 (8.0, 18.0) vs. 11.0 (5.0, 18.5) scores, 44.0 (36.5, 53.0) vs. 44.0 (34.0, 51.5) scores, Z=2.44, 3.11, P=0.015, 0.002). Conclusion: Multidisciplinary management is beneficial for delaying the progression of the multi-system impairments of SMA patients, such as malnutrition, restrictive ventilation dysfunction and scoliosis.

Abstract
Objective Reports on negative results of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) are scarce. We aimed to explore the diagnostic value of negative results in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) mNGS and how to deal with the negative results in patients with severe respiratory disease. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients suspected severe community-acquired pneumonia who were admitted to the respiratory intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to December 2021. According to the final diagnosis as the reference standard, the negative results of mNGS were divided into a true negative group and a false negative group. For enrolled patients, we recorded their demographic data, imaging results, laboratory results, therapeutic processes, and prognoses. Results A total of 21 patients were enrolled in this study, including 16 true negative patients and 5 false negative patients. In the true negative group, interstitial lung diseases were the most and neoplastic diseases were following. In addition to mNGS, 9 patients underwent pathological examination, 7 patients were finally diagnosed by medical history, autoantibodies, and point-of-care (POC) ultrasound. 14 patients eventually discontinued antibiotics, 2 patients underwent antibiotic de-escalation, the average interval time of treatment adjustment was 3.56 ± 2.00 days. In the false negative group, the leading missed pathogen was fungi, followed by tuberculosis bacilli. In contrast to 2 patients underwent pathological examination, 3 patients were confirmed by routine microbiological tests. Conclusions Negative results of BALF mNGS can help to rule out infection, but missed diagnoses may also exist. It should be re-evaluated with other clinical informations. Pathological examination or repeated mNGS may be viable options when the diagnosis cannot be confirmed.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is defined as a disorder of the heart and kidney, in which acute or chronic injury of one organ may lead to acute or chronic dysfunction of the other. It is characterized by high morbidity and mortality, resulting in high economic costs and social burdens. However, there is currently no effective drug-based treatment. Emerging evidence implicates the involvement of mitophagy in the progression of CRS, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this review, we summarized the crucial roles and molecular mechanisms of mitophagy in the pathophysiology of CRS. It has been reported that mitophagy impairment contributes to a vicious loop between CKD and CVD, which ultimately accelerates the progression of CRS. Further, recent studies revealed that targeting mitophagy may serve as a promising therapeutic approach for CRS, including clinical drugs, stem cells and small molecule agents. Therefore, studies focusing on mitophagy may benefit for expanding innovative basic research, clinical trials, and therapeutic strategies for CRS.

Abstract
A hydrogen-based membrane biofilm reactor (H2-MBfR) was operated to investigate the bioreduction of antimonate [Sb(V)] in terms of Sb(V) removal, the fate of Sb, and the pathways of reduction metabolism. The MBfR achieved up to 80% Sb(V) removal and an Sb(V) removal flux of 0.55 g/m2·day. Sb(V) was reduced to Sb(III), which mainly formed Sb2O3 precipitates in the biofilm matrix, although some Sb(III) was retained intracellularly. High Sb(V) loading caused stress that deteriorated performance that was not recovered when the high Sb(V) loading was removed. The biofilm community consisted of DSbRB (dissimilatory Sb-reduction bacteria), SbRB (Sb-resistant bacteria), and DIRB (dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria). Dissimilatory antimonate reduction, mediated by the respiratory arsenate reductase ArrAB, was the main reduction route, but respiratory reduction coexisted with cytoplasmic Sb(V)-reduction mediated by arsenate reductase ArsC. Increasing Sb(V) loading caused stress that led to increases in the expression of arsC gene and intracellular accumulation of Sb(III). By illuminating the roles of the dissimilatory and cytoplasmic Sb(V) reduction mechanism in the biofilms of the H2-MBfR, this study reveals that the Sb(V) loading should be controlled to avoid stress that deteriorates Sb(V) reduction.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the dynamic expression pattern of carcinoembryonic Wnt3a and its early monitoring value using a hepatocellular carcinoma model. Methods: Forty-eight Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were fed with pellet feed containing 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF, 0.05%) to induce hepatocarcinogenesis, and control rats were fed a pellet diet. Liver tissue and blood samples were collected every two weeks. Liver tissues were pathologically examined using HE staining and grouped. The gene and Wnt3a mRNA expression were analyzed by genome-wide microarray. The expression and distribution of Wnt3a in liver tissue were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Wnt3a concentration in liver tissue and serum was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical methods such as χ2 test, Mann-Whitney test and analysis of variance were used to analyze the differences between groups. Results: According to the pathological examination results, the rat livers were divided into four groups: control, hepatocyte degeneration, precancerous lesions and hepatocellular carcinoma. Genome-wide expression profiling analysis and comparison with the control group revealed that 268 and 312 genes were up-regulated and 57 and 201 genes were down-regulated in the precancerous and cancerous group when signal logarithm ratio (SLR) was >8 log2cy5/cy3, and these significantly altered genes mainly involved in cell proliferation, signal transduction, tumor metastasis, and apoptosis. The expression of Wnt3a at mRNA level was significantly increased in all stages of cancer induction, including degeneration group (1.15±0.24, q=8.227), precancerous group (1.85±0.18, q=12.361) and cancerous group (2.59±0.55, q=18.082). Compared with the control group (0.25±0.11, F=121.103, P<0.001), the degeneration group, the precancerous group and the liver cancer group were up-regulated by 4.6, 7.4 and 10.4-folds, respectively. Immunohistochemistry showed that compared with the control group, the positive rate of Wnt3a in the degeneration group was 66.7% (12/18, χ2=10.701, P=0.001), and both the precancerous and liver cancer groups were positive (9/9, χ2=17.115, P<0.001). Wnt3a expression was gradually increased in liver and blood samples during the process of carcinogenesis, and the difference between two groups was statistically significant (F=176.711, P<0.001). Wnt3a overexpression was secreted into blood stream via cancerous liver tissue, and there was a linear correlation between Wnt3a levels in blood and liver samples (r=0.732, P<0.001). Conclusions: Wnt3a overexpression is closely related with hepatocellular carcinogenesis, and thus may become a new monitoring marker.

Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in approximately 7–18% of all hospitalizations, but there are currently no effective drug therapy for preventing AKI or delaying its progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent studies have shown that Scutellaria baicalensis, a traditional Chinese herb, could attenuate cisplatin-induced AKI, although the mechanism remains elusive. Further, it is unknown whether its major active component, Oroxylin A (OA), can alleviate kidney injury.Methods: The therapeutic effect of OA was evaluated by using ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and cisplatin mediated-AKI mice and HK-2 cells under hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) conditions. HE staining, transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, qPCR, Western blot, PPARα inhibitor, BNIP3 siRNA and ChIP assay were used to explore the role and mechanism of OA in AKI.Results: OA ameliorated tubular damage and dramatically decreased serum creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN), and the expressions of renal injury markers (Kim-1, Ngal) in AKI mice induced by both IR injury and cisplatin, as well as attenuating AKI-to-CKD transition. In vitro experiments showed that OA alleviated HR-induced mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance in renal tubular epithelial cells. Mechanistically, OA dose-dependently induced the expression of Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein (BNIP3), while knockdown of BNIP3 expression reversed the protection of OA against HR-mediated mitochondrial injury. Network pharmacological analysis and experimental validation suggested that OA enhanced BNIP3 expression via upregulating the expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARα), which induced the transcription of BNIP3 via directly binding to its promoter region. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that the renoprotective effect of OA was dramatically reduced by GW6471, a PPARα antagonist.Conclusion: Our findings revealed that OA ameliorates AKI-to-CKD transition by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis through inducing PPARα-BNIP3 signaling pathway, indicating that OA may serve as a candidate therapeutic strategy for alleviating AKI and CKD.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of disease-modifying drug nusinersen on children with spinal muscular atrophy. Methods: The baseline and longitudinal clinical data of 15 children who were treated with nusinersen in the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from October 2019 to October 2021 were retrospectively collected. The general data (gender, age, genotype, and clinical classification, etc.), motor function, nutritional status, scoliosis and respiratory function were analyzed. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparing multi-system conditions before and after treatment. Results: The age of 15 cases (7 males, 8 females) was 6.8 (2.8, 8.3) years, with 2 cases of type 1, 6 cases of type 2, and 7 cases of type 3 respectively, and the course of disease was 55.0 (21.0, 69.0) months. After 9.0 (9.0, 24.0) months of treatment, the motor function scale evaluations of the Hammersmith neurological examination section 2 (13.0 (7.0, 23.0) vs. 18.0 (10.0, 25.0) scores, Z=-2.67, P=0.018) of 15 children, the Hammersmith functional motor scale expanded (38.0 (18.5, 45.5) vs. 42.0 (23.0, 51.0) scores, Z=-2.38, P=0.018), and the revised upper limb module (27.0 (19.5, 32.0) vs. 33.0 (22.5, 35.5) scores, Z=-2.52, P=0.012) of children with type 2 and 3 had significantly improved. Thirteen patients achieved clinically significant motor function improvement, and 2 of them had kept stable scale scores. Subjective reports also indicated that the muscle strength and daily exercise ability of these children improved after treatment, and no serious adverse reactions were reported. Supplemented by the multi-disciplinary team management, the levels of some indicators such as Cobbs angle of scoliosis and forced vital capacity all had significantly improved (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Nusinersen can improve the motor function of patients with 5q spinal muscular atrophy, which is also proved safe to be used in children. The drug treatment supplemented by the multi-disciplinary team management is helpful to improve the multi-system function of the children with spinal muscular atrophy.

Abstract
The etiology of acute lung injury (ALI) is not clear, and the treatment of ALI presents a great challenge. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of ALI and to define the target gene of Tanreqing (TRQ), which is a traditional Chinese medicine formula composed of five medicines, scutellaria baicalensis, bear bile powder, goat horn powder, honeysuckle and forsythia. Macrophage activation plays a critical role in many pathophysiological processes, such as inflammation. Although the regulation of macrophage activation has been extensively investigated, there is little knowledge of the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in this process. In this study, we found that lncRNA-SNHG1 expression is distinctly regulated in differently activated macrophages in that it is upregulated in LPS. LncRNA-SNHG1 knockdown attenuates LPS-induced M1 macrophage activation. The SNHG1 promoter was bound by NF-κB subunit p65, indicative of SNHG1 being a direct transcriptional target of LPS-induced NF-κB activation. SNHG1 acts as a proinflammatory driver that leads to the production of inflammatory cytokines and the activation of macrophages and cytokine storms by physically interacting with high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in ALI. TRQ inhibited NF-κB signaling activation and binding of NF-κB to the SNHG1 promoter. In conclusion, this study defined TRQ target genes, which can be further elucidated as mechanism(s) of TRQ action, and provides insight into the molecular pathogenesis of ALI. The lncRNA-SNHG1/HMGB1 axis is an ideal therapeutic for ALI treatment.

Abstract
The incidence of non-HIV-infected Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia (PJP) is increasing. The prognosis for non-HIV PJP is poor and diagnostic tests are of lower sensitivity in non-HIV patients. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was compared with routine detection assays, including Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) stain and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Specimens of 4 bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) and 1 lung tissue samples were obtained from 4 non-HIV patients from our hospitals. Although both GMS and mNGS were positive for P. jirovecii with PCR as positive control, the testing time of mNGS was obviously shorter than GMS. Compared with the traditional GMS method, mNGS has absolute advantages. However, the issue with PJP presentations having atypical symptoms and ambiguous imaging features persists. Hence, the disease can easily be ignored. Secondly, PJP progresses rapidly in non-HIV-infected patients and can cause severe respiratory failure with unfavorable prognosis. This study affirms that mNGS can be used to quickly and accurately diagnose PJP, but a combination of clinical judgement of symptoms, laboratory testing, and imaging examination is required to make a comprehensive judgment along with mNGS test results.

Abstract
Emerging evidences demonstrate the involvement of gut microbiota in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and CKD-associated complications including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and intestinal dysfunction. In this review, we discuss the interactions between the gut, kidney and heart in CKD state, and elucidate the significant role of intestinal microbiota in the gut-kidney-heart axis hypothesis for the pathophysiological mechanisms of these diseases, during which process mitochondria may serve as a potential therapeutic target. Dysregulation of this axis will lead to a vicious circle, contributing to CKD progression. Recent studies suggest novel therapies targeting gut microbiota in the gut-kidney-heart axis, including dietary intervention, probiotics, prebiotics, genetically engineered bacteria, fecal microbiota transplantation, bacterial metabolites modulation, antibiotics, conventional drugs and traditional Chinese medicine. Further, the identification of specific microbial communities and their corresponding pathophysiological metabolites and the illumination of the gut-kidney-heart axis may contribute to innovative basic research, clinical trials and therapeutic strategies against CKD progression and uremic complications in CKD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with advanced tumors often suffer from spinal metastatic tumor pain. The current drugs are less effective and have side effects. The objective was to explore the efficacy of iodine-125 particle implantation in the treatment of bone metastatic tumor pain. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, a total of 27 patients with bone metastatic tumors who could not receive surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy were analyzed. All patients received conventional treatment, with the visual analog scale (VAS) of >3 points, and the daily onset pain of >3 times. All patients received CT-guided iodine-125 particle implantation to treat local painful lesions. VAS scores were recorded before treatment (T0) and 1 day (T1), 7 days (T2), 30 days (T3), 90 days (T4), and 180 days (T5) after treatment. Kaplan-Meier analytical method was used to calculate the local control rate (LCR) and survival rate (SR). RESULTS All patients successfully completed the CT-guided iodine-125 particle implantation. There was no significant difference in VAS scores before and 1 day after surgery. However, compared with pre-operation, the VAS scores decreased at 7, 30, 90, and 180 days after surgery. The postoperative follow-up was 6-38 months, with a median of 16 months; the LCR at 1, 2, and 3 years after the follow-up were 87%, 51%, and 21%, respectively, and the SR was 84%, 43%, and 16%, respectively. Moreover, no serious adverse reactions were observed. CONCLUSIONS Iodine-125 particle implantation was effective in the treatment of bone metastatic tumor pain without serious complications, and hence, can be used clinically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perinatal practices such as breast-feeding, kangaroo mother care, rooming-in, and delayed cord clamping have varied by institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this systematic review was to examine the success of different practices in preventing viral transmission between SARS-CoV-2 positive mothers and their infants. METHODS Electronic searches were performed in the Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Studies involving pregnant or breastfeeding patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR were included. Infants tested within 48 hours of birth who had two tests before hospital discharge were included. Infants older than one week with a single test were also included. RESULTS Twenty eight studies were included. In the aggregated data, among 190 breastfeeding infants, 22 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (11.5%), while 4 of 152 (2.63%) among bottle-fed (Fisher's exact test p = 0.0006). The positivity rates for roomed in infants (20/103, 19.4%) were significantly higher than those isolated (5/300, 1.67%) (P < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in positivity rate among infants who received kangaroo care (25%vs 9%, p = 0.2170), or delayed cord clamping (3.62%vs 0.9%, p = 0.1116). CONCLUSIONS Lack of robust studies involving large patient population does not allow meaningful conclusions from this systematic review. Aggregated data showed increased positivity rates of SARS-CoV-2 among infants who were breast fed and roomed-in. There were no differences in SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates in infants received skin to skin care or delayed cord clamping.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a high-mortality disease and lacks effective pharmacotherapy. A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, Ning Fei Ping Xue (NFPX) decoction, was demonstrated to play a critical role in alleviating inflammatory responses of the lung. However, its therapeutic effectiveness in ARDS and active compounds, targets, and molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The present study investigates the effects of NFPX decoction on ARDS mice induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The results revealed that NFPX alleviated lung edema evaluated by lung ultrasound, decreased lung wet/Dry ratio, the total cell numbers of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in BALF and serum, and ameliorated lung pathology in a dose-dependent manner. Subsequently, UPLC-HRMS was performed to establish the compounds of NFPX. A total of 150 compounds in NFPX were characterized. Moreover, integrating network pharmacology approach and transcriptional profiling of lung tissues were performed to predict the underlying mechanism. 37 active components and 77 targets were screened out, and a herbs-compounds-targets network was constructed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from LPS-treated mice compared with LPS combined with NFPX mice. GO, KEGG, and artificial intelligence analysis indicated that NFPX might act on various drug targets. At last, potential targets, HRAS, SMAD4, and AMPK, were validated by qRT-PCR in ARDS murine model. In conclusion, we prove the efficacy of NFPX decoction in the treatment of ARDS. Furthermore, integrating network pharmacology, transcriptome, and artificial intelligence analysis contributes to illustrating the molecular mechanism of NFPX decoction on ARDS.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the expression of CD44 in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) accompanied with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and its clinical significance. Methods: Blood sample of hospitalized patients with NAFLD, chronic hepatitis B, cirrhosis, and healthy population (control) was collected. The study was approved by the hospital ethics committee. Serum CD44 level and clinopathological characteristics were analyzed quantitatively by enzyme-linked immunosorbent-assay. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of CD44(+)T lymphocytes in patients with NAFLD and chronic hepatitis B. NAFLD model was prepared with high-fat diet to verify the abnormal expression of CD44. Results: Compared with the healthy control group, the expression of serum CD44 in the cirrhosis group, chronic hepatitis B group and NAFLD group was increased, and the difference between the groups were statistically significant (P < 0.01). NAFLD patients graded as mild or severe group were equally accompanied by hepatocyte injury, abnormal blood glucose, lipid or CD44. In NAFLD patients accompanied with HBV infection, serum CD44 concentrations were significantly higher in HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA positive group than HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA negative group (P < 0.01). The proportion of CD44(+)T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of NAFLD and chronic hepatitis B group were 78.2% ± 16.3% and 68.5% ± 20.9%, respectively, and both groups (NAFLD and chronic hepatitis B) were significantly higher than the healthy control group (46.5% ± 20.5%) (P < 0.05). The high-fat diet model confirmed that in rat liver tissues the CD44 was overexpressed with fat deposition accompanied with liver cell damage, especially remarkable in liver tissues containing carcinogens. Conclusion: The abnormal expression of CD44 in patients with NAFLD may be related to the malignant transformation of HBV-related liver disease.

Functional delivery of lncRNA TUG1 by endothelial progenitor cells derived extracellular vesicles confers anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization in sepsis via impairing miR-9-5p-targeted SIRT1 inhibition.

Abstract
The delivery of biomolecules by extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has been proven to ameliorate sepsis, yet the therapeutic mechanism remains to be elucidated. Taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is downregulated in sepsis. The current study was designed to explore the role of EPCs derived EVs transmitting TUG1 in macrophage polarization and macrophage-mediated inflammation in a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis mouse model. TUG1 was underexpressed in CLP-induced sepsis, and its reexpression induced anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization and suppressed macrophage-medicated inflammatory injury to the pulmonary vascular endothelium. EPCs derived EVs transmitted TUG1 to promote M2 macrophage polarization. Luciferase, RIP, and RNA pull-down assays showed that TUG1 could competitively bind to microRNA-9-5p (miR-9-5p) to upregulate the expression of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). Furthermore, EPCs derived EVs transmitted TUG1 to promote M2 macrophage polarization through the impairment of miR-9-5p-dependent SIRT1 inhibition. Finally, EPCs derived EVs carrying TUG1 were verified to ameliorate sepsis-induced organ damage in the murine model. In summary, EPCs derived EVs transmit TUG1 to attenuate sepsis via macrophage M2 polarization. This study also highlights the proinflammatory mechanism associated with miR-9-5p-mediated inhibition of SIRT1, which contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of sepsis.

Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most highly malignant tumors and has a complicated pathogenesis. A preliminary study identified syntrophin beta 1 (SNTB1) as a potential oncogene in CRC. However, the clinical significance, biological function, and underlying mechanisms of SNTB1 in CRC remain largely unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the role of SNTB1 in CRC. Methods The expression profile of SNTB1 in CRC samples was evaluated by database analysis, cDNA array, tissue microarray, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), and immunohistochemistry. SNTB1 expression in human CRC cells was silenced using short hairpin RNAs (shRNA)/small interfering RNAs (siRNA) and its mRNA and protein levels were assessed by qPCR and/or western blotting. Cell viability, survival, cell cycle, and apoptosis were determined by the CCK-8 assay, colony formation, and flow cytometry assays, respectively. A xenograft nude mouse model of CRC was established to validate the roles of SNTB1 in vivo. Immunohistochemistry and TUNEL staining were used to determine the expression of SNTB1, PCNA, and cell apoptosis in tissue samples. Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) was used to analyze the differentially expressed proteins after knockdown of SNTB1 in CRC cells. Silence of protein kinase N2 (PKN2) using si-PNK2 was performed for rescue experiments. Results SNTB1 expression was increased in CRC tissues compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues and the increased SNTB1 expression was associated with shorter overall survival of CRC patients. Silencing of SNTB1 suppressed cell viability and survival, induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in vitro, and inhibited the growth of CRC cells in vivo. Further elucidation of the regulation of STNB1 on CRC growth by iTRAQ analysis identified 210 up-regulated and 55 down-regulated proteins in CRC cells after SNTB knockdown. A PPI network analysis identified PKN2 as a hub protein and was up-regulated in CRC cells after SNTB1 knockdown. Western-blot analysis further confirmed that SNTB1 knockdown significantly up-regulated PKN2 protein expression in CRC cells and decreased the phosphorylation of both ERK1/2 and AKT. Moreover, rescue experiments indicated that PKN2 knockdown significantly rescued SNTB1 knockdown-mediated decrease in cell viability, survival, and increase of cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase and apoptosis of CRC cells. Conclusions These findings indicate that SNTB1 is overexpressed in CRC. Elevated SNTB1 levels are correlated with shorter patient survival. Importantly, SNTB1 promotes tumor growth and progression of CRC, possibly by reducing the expression of PKN2 and activating the ERK and AKT signaling pathway. Our study highlights the potential of SNTB1 as a new prognostic factor and therapeutic target for CRC.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5), a family member of the zinc finger protein transcription factor, in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Cancerous and non-cancerous tissues were collected from 126 cases after HCC surgery by self-matching method with microarray fabrication. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of KLF5, clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic value. The sera of 222 cases with chronic liver disease were collected and their KLF5 levels were quantitatively determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Simultaneously, 40 normal human sera were used as controls to evaluate the value of abnormal KLF5 in the diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant liver diseases. T-test, Z-test and χ (2) test were performed on the data. Results: The positive expression rate of KLF5 in the HCC group was 95.2% (120/126), which was significantly higher than the non-cancerous group 38.9% (49/126; χ (2) = 14.385, P < 0.001). KLF5 expression was significantly correlated with TNM stage (stage I 35%, stage II 40%, stage III 74.4%, stage IV 78.1%), tumor size, alpha fetoprotein (AFP) concentration, portal vein embolism, HBV infection and 5-year survival rate. Univariate/multivariate analysis showed that KLF5 high expression was an independent predictor of HCC prognosis. The serum KLF5 level was significantly higher in HCC patients than liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis and normal control group (P < 0.001). With the serum KLF5 > 800 ng/ml and AFP > 25 μg/L as limit, the positive rates for HCC diagnosis were 90.48% and 73.81%, respectively, which were lower than the AFP specificity and false positive rate, and was helpful for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liver diseases. Conclusion: The overexpression of KLF5 in liver cancer tissues and blood is closely related to the HCC clinical stage and prognosis. Moreover, KLF5 analysis is helpful for HCC diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does mitochondrial DNA content (mtDNA) correlate with clinical parameters and embryo morphokinetics using advanced time-lapse technology?
Summary answer
mtDNA correlated with embryo morphokinetics and the growth trajectory of euploid embryos. Maternal age, anti-mullerian hormone level and fertility diagnosis were significantly associated with mtDNA.
What is known already
With the push towards single embryo transfers, laboratories are working to improve embryo selection. In addition to conventional microscopy, preimplantation genetic testing and time-lapse microscopy have been utilized to aid in embryo selection. More recently, as mtDNA may represent the energy potential of an embryo, some data have supported the use of mtDNA as an additional tool. Limited studies have suggested that a lower amount of mtDNA is associated with higher rates of implantation and improved embryo quality.
Study design, size, duration
This is a retrospective chart review. All embryos that underwent preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) between January to December of 2020 were studied.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection undergoing PGT-A were studied. All patients were from a single academic institution. This study exclusively examined the characteristics of euploid embryos. Mitochondrial DNA content was expressed as a ratio of mtDNA:nDNA (MitoScore). Time-lapse imaging was utilized to evaluate embryo development every 15 minutes in 5–7 focal planes. Chi square test and Spearman correlation analysis were performed with a p-value of < 0.05 considered significant.
Main results and the role of chance
A total of 494 embryos from 52 women who underwent 58 IVF cycles were cultured to blastocyst and 331 embryos were biopsied for PGT-A evaluation. Of these, 132 embryos were diagnosed as euploid. A moderate positive correlation was found between MitoScore and time to morula, time to blast and time to expanded blast (correlation value 0.54, 0.50 and 0.54, respectively; p < 0.001). Consistent with this trend, day 5 blastocysts had a significantly lower MitoScore values than day 6 blastocysts (20.2 v. 29.2; p < 0.001). When examining all biopsied euploid embryos, no significant association was found between MitoScore, blastocyst maturity, trophectoderm or inner cell mass scores.
Our data also demonstrated a positive correlation between MitoScore and maternal age (correlation factor 0.33; p < 0.001). A negative association between MitoScore and serum anti-mullerian hormone levels (correlation factor –0.20; p < 0.021) was also noted. Of particular interest was the significant association between fertility diagnosis and mitochondrial score (p < 0.001).
Even amongst euploid embryos, mtDNA content varied widely, potentially reflecting differences in embryo potential and quality. Additionally, the significant difference in MitoScore between that day 5 and day 6 blastocysts may reflect a fundamental difference in cytoplasmic characteristics and requires further study.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Due to the study cohort of euploid embryos undergoing PGT-A, this study was biased for the selection of high grade embryos. This limited diversity in embryo quality may have masked other potential associations between mitochondrial content and blastocyst quality.
Wider implications of the findings: mtDNA may be additional tool aiding in embryo selection as IVF labs work to improve pregnancy rates while minimizing the risks of transferring multiple embryos. To our knowledge, this is the largest study assessing the relationship of mtDNA content of blastocysts and the timing of embryo development using time-lapse imaging.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Can the gas-liquid interface organ culture system that achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice also support in vitro spermatogenesis in human adult testis?
Summary answer
Although the progression of spermatogenesis was not observed, germ cells were maintained without the degeneration of the architecture in both fresh and cryopreserved testicular tissues.
What is known already
Although the research on in vitro spermatogenesis have been conducted for 100 years, only the organ culture system using gas-liquid interface method achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice. It has not been verified whether this culture system can be applied to other mammals including humans and induce spermatogenesis.
Study design, size, duration
Testicular tissue was obtained from the transgender patients receiving sex reassignment surgery. Testicular specimens were either immediately processed for cultivation or cryopreserved, using a vitrification freezing protocol. Organ culture of testicular fragments was performed in three different media for a maximum period of 3 weeks to evaluate the short-term changes in the cultured tissues (viability, proliferation and maintenance of germ and somatic cells).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Fresh and cryopreserved-thawed testis fragments (1–2 mm3) were cultured using the organ culture system in alpha-MEM with knock-out serum replacement (K group), alpha-MEM with lipid-rich BSA (A group) and DMEM with FBS (D group). Luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and testosterone were supplemented. The number of germ cells (using DDX4), proliferative activity of germ cells (using EdU assay) and intratubular cell apoptosis (by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling) were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining weekly.
Main results and the role of chance
The architecture of the seminiferous tubules was maintained until the second week of culture in both the fresh and the cryopreserved culture group. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells per seminiferous tubule in groups D, K, and A was 49 ± 24, 55 ± 21, 50 ± 26 cells/tubule in 1 day, 32 ± 13, 42 ± 7, 36 ± 21 cells/tubule in 1week, respectively. The numbers gradually decreased to 26 ± 8, 24 ± 6 and 27 ± 18 cells/tubule, in 2 weeks, respectively, with no difference among the groups. The number of intratubular EdU-positive cells of groups D, K, and A was 0.2 ± 0.2, 2.8 ± 2.1, 1.1 ± 0.8 cells/tubule at 1 day, 0.1 ± 0.2, 0.5 ± 0.6, 0.3 ± 0.6 cells/tubule at 1 week, respectively. The values were 0.01, 0.05, and 0.03 at 2 weeks. Thus, EdU-positive cells drastically decreased from the first week of culture. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells and the intratubular EdU-positive cells in the cryopreserved culture group was not different from that in the fresh culture group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Current organ culture systems are incomplete, being unable to induce human in vitro spermatogenesis. Further research is needed to improve culture condition with the aim of producing fertile sperm of infertile adult male patients.
Wider implications of the findings: Our organ culture system could maintain testis structure and germ cells. By using the testis tissues of the transgender patients, which are available with their consent, we will promote the investigation of the culture condition necessary for germ cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
Background: Influenza virus is a common pathogen causing community-acquired pneumonia. After H1N1 infection, some patients present with rapid disease progression and various respiratory complications, especially immunocompromised patients and pregnant women. However, most patients have a favorable prognosis. Influenza viruses infect respiratory epithelial cells, leading to diffuse alveolar damage (DAD), which could induce secondary bacterial or fungal infections that could lead to serious complications, such as acute respiratory failure, severe pneumonia, pneumothorax, mediastinal emphysema, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and post-ARDS fibrosis. Objective: The short-term mortality rate of ARDS is decreasing, and understanding survivors’ posthospitalization outcomes is very important. Our aim was to evaluate the outcomes of 69 patients who survived H1N1 pneumonia with severe respiratory complications and abnormal CT findings and developed post-ARDS pulmonary fibrosis. Materials and methods: The 280 inpatients included in this trial had been diagnosed with H1N1 infection that was confirmed by pharyngeal sputum or swab tests. The data were collected from January 2018 to January 2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and the Sixth People's Hospital of Zhengzhou. Of these patients, 232 had CT findings indicating pulmonary fibrosis after H1N1 infection, and 69 survived and consented to participate in this study. 6°months after diagnosis, the 69 surviving patients were interviewed and underwent physical examinations, CT scans, 6°min walk tests, and quality-of-life evaluations (SF-36). We analyzed the baseline variables and six-month outcomes of post-ARDS pulmonary fibrosis in patients with H1N1 pneumonia. Results: Of the 69 surviving patients with post-ARDS pulmonary fibrosis, there were 24 females and 45 males, with a mean age of 53.7 ± 16.8°years; 18 patients (26%) had no underlying disease, and 14 (20%) patients had more than one underlying disease. The distance walked in 6°min increased from an average of 451.9°m at 3°months to 575.4°m at 6°months; the mean 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) physical function score increased from an average of 75.3 at 3°months to 77.5 at 6°months; and the average CT score decreased from 31.3 at 3°months to 14.8 at 6°months. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids and the presence of an underlying disease were related to the CT score and the distance walked in 6°min. Conclusion: Among the survivors with pulmonary fibrosis after H1N1 influenza, the 6°min walk test and CT scores continued to be affected after 6°months. The 6°min walk distance and imaging findings improved during the first 6°months. The health-related QoL (HRQoL) scores of H1N1 pneumonia survivors were lower than those of sex- and age-matched controls.

Abstract
AIMS Rational design of protein scaffolds with specific biological functions/activities has attracted much attention over the past decades. In the present study, we systematically examine the trimer-of-hairpins (TOH) motif of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein, which plays a central role in viral membrane fusion and is a coiled-coil six-helix bundle formed by the antiparallel intermolecular interaction between three N-terminal heptad-repeat (HRN) helices and three C-terminal heptad-repeat (HRC) helices. MAIN METHODS A rational strategy that integrates dynamics simulation, thermodynamics calculation, fluorescence polarization and circular dichroism is proposed to design HRC-targeted α-helical hairpin traps based on the crystal template of HRN core. KEY FINDINGS The designed hairpin traps possess a typical helix-turn-helix scaffold that can be stabilized by stapling a disulfide bridge across its helical arms, which are highly structured (helicity >60%) and can mimic the native spatial arrangement of HRN helices in TOH motif to trap the hotspot sites of HRC with effective affinity (Kd is up to 6.4 μM). SIGNIFICANCE The designed α-helical hairpin traps can be used as lead entities for further developing TOH-disrupting agents to target RSV membrane fusion event and the proposed rational design strategy can be readily modified to apply for other type I viruses.
