Abstract
In this study, double cross-linked egg yolk granules (EYGs)/sodium alginate (SA) emulsion gel was constructed and used as butter substitute. The water binding capacity, rheology properties and microstructure of EYGs/SA emulsion gel showed that the network structure tended to be complete when the concentration of SA reached 1% (m/v). SA stabilized the EYGs/SA droplets and enhanced the spatial network structure of emulsion gel. After substitution for butter, the network structure of EYGs/SA emulsion gel with more water bounded and the polyhydroxy structure of SA molecules endowed dough with more water retention capacity. Meanwhile, the destruction of the microstructure of the replaced dough with EYGs/SA emulsion gel was significantly inhibited compared with the un-substituted dough after freezing. The baking ability results showed a satisfactory baking effect after substitution. Overall, this study provides a new avenue in the field of fat replacement and the application of EYGs/SA emulsion gels.

Abstract
This article thoroughly examines the influence of digital transformation on the efficiency of corporate supply chains. As global economic integration accelerates and technological innovations deepen, digital transformation has become key to enhancing core corporate competitiveness. This research, utilizing data from A-share listed companies in China between 2007 and 2022, analyzes how companies improve supply chain efficiency through digital transformation. Furthermore, the study establishes a theoretical framework that demonstrates how digital transformation facilitates supply chain efficiency from the perspectives of internal governance and external competition. The research indicates that digital transformation plays a key role in significantly enhancing supply chain efficiency. Furthermore, the results of the mechanism analysis confirmed that digital transformation contributes to enhancing corporate supply chain efficiency by improving the level of corporate governance and the degree of market competition. The study also finds that the effect of digital transformation on supply chain efficiency varies with different corporate backgrounds, indicating its heterogeneous impact. Lastly, an analysis of economic consequences shows that the increased supply chain efficiency resulting from digital transformation can reduce future external transaction costs, strengthening the company's market position and financial performance. This research provides strategic guidance for firms to develop robust strategies amid the digital wave and offers strong policy recommendations for promoting digital supply chain management and enhancing market adaptability.

Abstract
Porous starch (PS) is a modified starch with commendable biodegradable and adsorption properties. PS exhibits poor thermal stability, and the aqueous solution casting method is conventionally used for PS-activated packaging films. This approach limits the large-scale production of films and makes it difficult to play the functions of porous pores. In this study, PS was prepared by enzymatic digestion combined with freeze-drying and adsorbed with clove essential oil (CEO) after cross-linking with sodium trimetaphosphate. Subsequently, a novel PLA/PBAT/TPS/ScPS-CEO sustained release active packaging film was prepared by blending PLA, PBAT, TPS, and ScPS-CEO using industrial melt extrusion. Compared with PS, ScPS effectively slowed down the release of CEO from the film, with the maximum release of active substances at equilibrium increasing by approximately 100 %, which significantly enhanced the persistence of the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The polylactic acid/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/thermoplastic starch/trimetaphosphate-crosslinked porous starch incorporated with clove essential oil (PLA/PBAT/TPS/ScPS-CEO) film could reduce the proteolysis, lipid oxidation and microbial growth of salmon, extending its shelf life by approximately 100 % at 4 °C. These results indicate that the ScPS can be used in fresh packaging material in practical applications.

Abstract
This mediation analysis aimed to investigate the associations among areal bone mineral density, mobility-related brain atrophy, and specific gait patterns. A total of 595 participants from the Taizhou Imaging Study, who underwent both gait and bone mineral density measurements, were included in this cross-sectional analysis. We used a wearable gait tracking device to collect quantitative gait parameters and then summarized them into independent gait domains with factor analysis. Bone mineral density was measured in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Magnetic resonance images were obtained on a 3.0-Tesla scanner, and the volumes of brain regions related to mobility were computed using FreeSurfer. Lower bone mineral density was found to be associated with higher gait variability, especially at the site of the lumbar spine (β = 0.174, FDR = 0.001). Besides, higher gait variability was correlated with mobility-related brain atrophy, like the primary motor cortex (β = 0.147, FDR = 0.006), sensorimotor cortex (β = 0.153, FDR = 0.006), and entorhinal cortex (β = 0.106, FDR = 0.043). Bidirectional mediation analysis revealed that regional brain atrophy contributed to higher gait variability through the low lumbar spine bone mineral density (for the primary motor cortex, P = 0.018; for the sensorimotor cortex, P = 0.010) and the low lumbar spine bone mineral density contributed to higher gait variability through the primary motor and sensorimotor cortices (P = 0.026 and 0.010, respectively).

Abstract
Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. However, early detection of lung cancer remains challenging, resulting in poor outcomes for the patients. Herein, we developed an optical biosensor integrating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with a catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) to detect circular RNA (circRNA) associated with tumor formation and progression (circSATB2). The signals of the Raman reporter were considerably enhanced by generating abundant SERS "hot spots" with a core-shell nanoprobe and 2D SERS substrate with calibration capabilities. This approach enabled the sensitive (limit of detection: 0.766 fM) and reliable quantitative detection of the target circRNA. Further, we used the developed biosensor to detect the circRNA in human serum samples, revealing that patients with lung cancer had higher circRNA concentrations than healthy subjects. Moreover, we characterized the unique circRNA concentration profiles of the early stages (IA and IB) and subtypes (IA1, IA2, and IA3) of lung cancer. These results demonstrate the potential of the proposed optical sensing nanoplatform as a liquid biopsy and prognostic tool for the early screening of lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to compare the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy (RT) plus systemic therapy (ST) with RT alone in patients with simple brain metastasis (BM) after first-line treatment of limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). METHODS The patients were treated at a single center from January 2011 to January 2022. BM only without metastases to other organs was defined as simple BM. The eligible patients were divided into RT alone (monotherapy arm) and RT plus ST (combined therapy arm). Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses were used to examine factors associated with increased risk of extracranial progression. After 1:1 propensity score matching analysis, two groups were compared for extracranial progression-free survival (ePFS), PFS, overall survival (OS), and intracranial PFS (iPFS). RESULTS 133 patients were identified and 100 were analyzed (monotherapy arm: n = 50, combined therapy arm: n = 50). The ePFS of the combined therapy was significantly longer than that of the monotherapy, with a median ePFS of 13.2 months (95% CI, 6.6-19.8) in combined therapy and 8.2 months (95% CI, 5.7-10.7) in monotherapy (P = 0.04). There were no statistically significant differences in PFS (P = 0.057), OS (P = 0.309), or iPFS (P = 0.448). Multifactorial analysis showed that combined therapy was independently associated with better ePFS compared with monotherapy (HR = 0.617, P = 0.034); more than 5 BMs were associated with worse ePFS compared with 1-5 BMs (HR = 1.808, P = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS Compared with RT alone, combined therapy improves ePFS in patients with simple BM after first-line treatment of LS-SCLC. Combined therapy and 1-5 BMs reduce the risk of extracranial recurrence.

Abstract
Microorganisms are highly sensitive to toxic metal pollution and play an important role in the material cycling and energy flow of the water ecosystem. Herein, 13 sediment samples from Junchong Reservoir (Guangxi Province, China) were collected in December 2021. The spatial distribution of pollution levels for toxic metals and the effects of toxic metals on the composition, functional characteristics, and metabolism of microorganisms were investigated. The results demonstrated that the area is a proximate area to industrial zones with severity of toxic metal pollution. Their mean concentrations of As, Cu, Zn, and Pb were up to 128.79 mg/kg, 57.62 mg/kg, 594.77 mg/kg, and 97.12 mg/kg respectively. There was a strong correlation between As, Cu, Zn, and Pb, with the highest correlation coefficient reaching 0.94. As the level of toxic metal pollution increases, the diversity and abundance of microorganisms gradually decrease. Compared to those with lower pollution levels, the Shannon index in regions with higher pollution levels decreases by up to 0.373, and the Chao index decreases by up to 143.507. However, the relative abundance of Bacteroidota, Patescibacteria, and Chloroflexi increased by 23%, 20%, and 5%, respectively, indicating their higher adaptability to toxic metals. Furthermore, microbial carbon and nitrogen metabolism were also affected by the presence of toxic metals. FAPROTAX analysis demonstrated an abundant reduction of ecologically functional groups associated with carbon and nitrogen transformations under high toxic metal pollution levels. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that carbon fixation and nitrogen metabolism pathways were inhibited with increasing toxic metal concentrations. These findings would contribute to a better understanding of the effects of toxic metal pollution on sediment microbial communities and function, shedding light on the ecological consequences of toxic metal contamination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gait disturbance is common in older adults with vascular diseases. However, how carotid atherosclerosis affects gait remains poorly understood. The objectives were to investigate the associations between carotid intima-media thickness and specific gait performances and explore the potential role of brain structure in mediating these associations. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of data from the Taizhou Imaging Study was conducted, including 707 individuals who underwent both gait and carotid ultrasound examinations. Gait assessments include the Timed-Up-and-Go test, the Tinetti test, and quantitative gait assessment using a wearable device. Quantitative parameters were summarized into independent gait domains with factor analysis. Magnetic resonance images were obtained on a 3.0-Tesla scanner, and the volumes of fifteen brain regions related to motor function (primary motor, sensorimotor), visuospatial attention (inferior posterior parietal lobules, superior posterior parietal lobules), executive control function (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate), memory (hippocampus, entorhinal cortex), motor imagery (precuneus, parahippocampus, posterior cingulated cortex), and balance (basal ganglia: pallidum, putamen, caudate, thalamus) were computed using FreeSurfer and the Desikan-Killiany atlas. Mediation analysis was conducted with carotid intima-media thickness as the predictor and mobility-related brain regions as mediators. RESULTS Carotid intima-media thickness was found to be associated with the Timed-Up-and-Go performance (β = 0.129, p = 0.010) as well as gait performances related to pace (β=-0.213, p < 0.001) and symmetry (β = 0.096, p = 0.045). Besides, gait performances were correlated with mobility-related brain regions responsible for motor, visuospatial attention, executive control, memory, and balance (all FDR < 0.05). Notably, significant regions differed depending on the gait outcomes measured. The primary motor (41.9%), sensorimotor (29.3%), visuospatial attention (inferior posterior parietal lobules, superior posterior parietal lobules) (13.8%), entorhinal cortex (36.4%), and motor imagery (precuneus, parahippocampus, posterior cingulated cortex) (27.3%) mediated the association between increased carotid intima-media thickness and poorer Timed-Up-and-Go performance. For the pace domain, the primary motor (37.5%), sensorimotor (25.8%), visuospatial attention (12.3%), entorhinal cortex (20.7%), motor imagery (24.9%), and balance (basal ganglia: pallidum, putamen, caudate, thalamus) (11.6%) acted as mediators. CONCLUSIONS Carotid intima-media thickness is associated with gait performances, and mobility-related brain volume mediates these associations. Moreover, the distribution of brain regions regulating mobility varies in the different gait domains. Our study adds value in exploring the underlying mechanisms of gait disturbance in the aging population.

Abstract
Objective The study aimed to examine the roles of anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) in conditioned fear learning under an uncertain context induced by the contingency reversal of the association between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus (CS-US). Methods The study sample comprised 53 participants, randomly divided into two groups: a non-instruction group and an instruction group. The experimental procedure encompassed five stages: pre-acquisition, acquisition, generalization, reversal acquisition, and reversal generalization. Our study primarily focused on analyzing a moderated mediation model. Results In the instructed group, we observed that the reversed fear generalization response was directly influenced by the pre-reversal fear generalization response, while also being indirectly mediated by the IU factor. However, in the non-instructed group, we did not find a significant mediating effect of IU. Moreover, we noted that the mediation of IU was contingent on the instructional information. It is noteworthy that anxiety did not exhibit a discernible role in conditioned fear within the uncertainty condition in our study. Conclusion The findings provide novel insights into fear-related phenomena, emphasizing the intricate interplay between individual traits and fear generalization under conditions of uncertainty. They contribute to understanding the mechanisms of emotional and cognitive interactions in uncertain conditions.

Abstract
Regulation of grain size is a crucial strategy for improving the crop yield and is also a fundamental aspect of developmental biology. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing grain development in wheat remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified a wheat atypical basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, TabHLH489, which is tightly associated with grain length through genome-wide association study and map-based cloning. Knockout of TabHLH489 and its homologous genes resulted in increased grain length and weight, whereas the overexpression led to decreased grain length and weight. TaSnRK1α1, the α-catalytic subunit of plant energy sensor SnRK1, interacted with and phosphorylated TabHLH489 to induce its degradation, thereby promoting wheat grain development. Sugar treatment induced TaSnRK1α1 protein accumulation while reducing TabHLH489 protein levels. Moreover, brassinosteroid (BR) promotes grain development by decreasing TabHLH489 expression through the transcription factor BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT1 (BZR1). Importantly, natural variations in the promoter region of TabHLH489 affect the TaBZR1 binding ability, thereby influencing TabHLH489 expression. Taken together, our findings reveal that the TaSnRK1α1-TabHLH489 regulatory module integrates BR and sugar signalling to regulate grain length, presenting potential targets for enhancing grain size in wheat.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pregnancy and childbirth bring not only joy but also a concomitant sense of insecurity, which may adversely affect health, role adaptation, and relationships. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for postpartum mothers' sense of security. METHODS This cross-sectional study used questionnaires on Parents' Postnatal Sense of Security, Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale, and the Emotional Inhibition Scale. Structural equation modeling was used to calculate the mediating effect. RESULTS The mean postnatal maternal security value was 44.77 ± 9.02. Multiple regression analyses revealed that several factors, including companionship of the partner during pregnancy, number of prenatal visits accompanied by the partner, complications during pregnancy, pregnancy distress, and emotional inhibition, independently predicted maternal security. Moreover, our structural equation model revealed that emotional inhibition significantly influenced maternal postpartum security directly (β = -0.30, P < 0.001). In addition, pregnancy distress affected maternal security directly (β = -0.45, P < 0.001) and indirectly (β = -0.129, P < 0.001) through emotional inhibition. CONCLUSION This study indicated a lower level of postpartum maternal sense of security. Emotional inhibition partially mediates the relationship between postpartum maternal sense of security and pregnancy distress. Therefore, health care professionals providing guidance to pregnant and postpartum women on proper emotional regulation and early identification of pregnancy distress may be more effective in enhancing their postpartum sense of security.

Abstract
Previous studies indicate an increased carditis risk among adolescents following the two-dose messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccine. Several jurisdictions have extended the interdose interval between the first and second doses to reduce the risk. However, the effectiveness of such an extension policy remains inconclusive. Using the territory-wide vaccine record-linked electronic health records in Hong Kong, we conducted a nested case-control study from February 23, 2021 to August 15, 2022. Adolescents aged between 12 and 17 who received two-dose BNT162b2 were included for comparing risks between standard interdose interval (21-27 days) versus extended interdose interval ( ≥ 56 days). The carditis cumulative incidence within 28 days following the second dose was calculated. The adjusted odds ratio was estimated from multivariable conditional logistic regression. We identified 49 adolescents with newly diagnosed carditis within 28 days following the second dose. The crude cumulative incidence is 37.41 [95% confidence interval (CI): 27.68-49.46] per million vaccinated adolescents. Compared to the standard interdose interval group, adolescents with an extended interval had a significantly lower risk of carditis [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.34 (95% CI: 0.16-0.73)]. Sensitivity analysis of carditis occurring within 14 days following the second dose yielded a similar estimate [aOR 0.30 (95% CI: 0.13-0.73)]. Extending the interdose interval of the BNT162b2 vaccine from 21 to 27 days to 56 days or longer is associated with 66% lower risk of incident carditis among adolescents. Our findings contribute towards an evidence-based vaccination strategy for a vulnerable population and potentially informs product label updates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutant analysis remains one of the main genetic tools for characterising unclarified gene functions in plants, especially in non-model plants. Daylily (Hemerocallis spp.) is a popular perennial ornamental plant grown worldwide. Analysis of daylily mutants can enhance understanding of genes regulating the albino phenotype and improve the cultivar quality of daylily. METHODS The natural albino mutant (Alb-/-) was isolated by screening a self-pollinated progeny of daylily cultivar 'black-eyed stella'. Transmission electron microscopy was used in analysing the structure of plastids between mutant and wild-type seedlings. The content of chlorophyll, carotenoids and chlorophyll precursors in plants was measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. RNA sequencing and physiological measurements were performed to explore the association between drought tolerance and mutation. RESULTS All the seedlings of the daylily albino mutants died spontaneously within fifteen days after germination when grown in soil. The carotenoid and chlorophyll content in the leaves of the mutant plants significantly decreased compared with those of the wild-type control. The mutant plants displayed stunted growth, and their leaves were white or light yellow in color. Abnormal plastids such as those showing endomembrane vesiculation and lacking stacking were discovered in the leaves of mutant plants. Furthermore, genetic analysis revealed that a single recessive nuclear gene mutation led to the albino trait, RNA sequencing and real-time quantitative PCR validation showed extensive differences in gene expression between the mutant plants and the wild-type control, and most of the genes related to chlorophyll metabolism were down-regulated, with foldchange ranging from 0.20-0.49. Additionally, the surviving homozygous plants (Alb+/+), which do not contain this mutation, were also isolated by analysing the phenotype of their self-pollinated progeny. The net photosynthesis rate and light saturation point of Alb+/+ were higher than those of heterozygous (Alb+/-) plants. Additionally, the Alb+/+ plants were more tolerant to drought conditions than the Alb+/- plants, suggesting that a heterozygous Alb- mutation is sufficient to negatively affect photosynthetic efficiency and drought tolerance. CONCLUSIONS The albino mutation negatively affects photosynthetic efficiency and drought tolerance, and homozygous mutation is required for the characteristic albino phenotype. This work highlights the link between albino mutation, photosynthetic pigment metabolism and drought sensitivity in daylily.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of VGB racemate and its single enantiomers, and explore the potential of clinic development for single enantiomer S-VGB. Methods In the pharmacokinetics study, male Sprague-Dawley rats were gavaged with VGB racemate or its single enantiomers dosing 50, 100 or 200 mg/kg, and the blood samples were collected during 12 h at regular intervals. In the experiment of tissue distribution, VGB and its single enantiomers were administered intravenously dosing 200 mg/kg, and the tissues including heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, eyes, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex were separated at different times. The concentrations of R-VGB and S-VGB in the plasma and tissues were measured using HPLC. Results Both S-VGB and R-VGB could be detected in the plasma of rats administered with VGB racemate, reaching Cmax at approximately 0.5 h with t1/2 2-3 h. There was no significant pharmacokinetic difference between the two enantiomers when VGB racemate was given 200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg. However, when given at the dose of 50 mg/kg, S-VGB presented a shorter t1/2 and a higher Cl/F than R-VGB, indicating a faster metabolism of S-VGB. Furthermore, when single enantiomer was administered respectively, S-VGB presented a slower metabolism than R-VGB, as indicated by a longer t1/2 and MRT but a lower Cmax. Moreover, compared with the VGB racemate, the single enantiomers S-VGB and R-VGB had shorter t1/2 and MRT, higher Cmax and AUC/D, and lower Vz/F and Cl/F, indicating the stronger oral absorption and faster metabolism of single enantiomer. In addition, regardless of VGB racemate administration or single enantiomer administration, S-VGB and R-VGB had similar characteristics in tissue distribution, and the content of S-VGB in hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and liver was much higher than that of R-VGB. Conclusions Although there is no transformation between S-VGB and R-VGB in vivo, those two enantiomers display certain disparities in the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution, and interact with each other. These findings might be a possible interpretation for the pharmacological and toxic effects of VGB and a potential direction for the development and optimization of the single enantiomer S-VGB.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The genus Crataegus (hawthorn), a member of the Rosaceae family, encompasses several species with broad geographical distribution across the Northern Hemisphere, including Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Hawthorn is recognized as an edible medicinal plant with applications related to strengthening the digestive system, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis. AIM OF THE REVIEW This study critically summarized the traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological properties to provide a theoretical basis for further studies on hawthorn and its applications in medicine and food. MATERIALS AND METHODS The available information on hawthorn was gathered from scientific databases (including Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Baidu Scholar, CNKI, online ethnobotanical databases, and ethnobotanical monographs, and considered data from 1952 to 2023). Information about traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and safety concerns of the collected data is comprehensively summarized in this paper. RESULTS The literature review revealed that hawthorn includes more than 1000 species primarily distributed in the northern temperate zone. Traditional uses of hawthorn have lasted for millennia in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Within the past decade, 337 chemical compounds, including flavonoids, lignans, fatty acids and organic acids, monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, terpenoids and steroids, have been identified from hawthorn. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed numerous bioactivities, such as cardiovascular system influence, antitumor activity, hepatoprotective activity, antimicrobial properties, immunomodulatory functions, and anti-inflammatory activities. Additionally, evaluations have indicated that hawthorn lacks toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Based on its traditional uses, chemical composition, and pharmacological studies, hawthorn has significant potential as a medicinal and edible plant with a diverse range of pharmacological activities. Traditional uses of the hawthorn include the treatment of indigestion, dysmenorrhea, and osteoporosis. However, modern pharmacological research primarily focuses on its cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system effects, antitumor effects, and liver protection properties. Currently, there is a lack of correlative research involving its traditional uses and pharmacological activities. Moreover, phytochemical and pharmacological research has yet to focus on many types of hawthorn with traditional applications. Therefore, it is imperative to research the genus Crataegus extensively.

Abstract
The remarkably long distances covered by deep space probes result in extremely weak downlink signals, which poses great challenges for ground measurement systems. In the current climate, improving the comprehensive utilization of downlink signal power to increase the detection distance or enhance the measurement accuracy is of great significance in deep space exploration. Facing this problem, we analyze the delta Differential One-way Range (ΔDOR) error budget of the X-band of the China Deep Space Network (CDSN). Then, we propose a novel interferometry method that detunes one group of DOR beacons and reuses the clock components of regenerative pseudo-code ranging signals for interferometry delay estimation. The primary advantage of this method is its ability to enhance the power utilization efficiency of downlink signals, thereby facilitating more efficient tracking and measurement without necessitating additional design requirements for deep space transponders. Finally, we analyze and verify the correctness and effectiveness of our proposed method using measured data from CDSN. Our results indicate that the proposed method can save approximately 13% of the downlink signal power and increase the detection distance by about 6.25% using typical modulation parameters. Furthermore, if the relative power of other signal components remains unchanged, the power of the DOR tone can be directly increased by more than 100%, improving the deep space exploration ability more significantly.

Abstract
The potential adverse effects of the plant-based dietary pattern on bone health have received widespread attention. However, the biological mechanisms underlying the adverse effects of plant-based diets on bone health remain incompletely understood. The objective of this study was to identify potential biomarkers between plant-based diets and bone loss utilizing metabolomic techniques in the Taizhou Imaging Study (TIS) (N = 788). Plant-based diet indexes (overall plant-based diet index (PDI), healthy plant-based diet index (hPDI), and unhealthy plant-based diet index (uPDI)) were calculated using the food frequency questionnaire, and bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. A multinomial logistic regression was used to explore the associations of plant-based diet indexes with bone loss. Furthermore, mediation analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were performed to explore the mediated effects of metabolites on the association of plant-based diets with BMD T-score. Our results showed that higher hPDI and uPDI were positively associated with bone loss. Moreover, nineteen metabolites were significantly associated with BMD T-score, among them, seven metabolites were associated with uPDI. Except for cholesterol esters in VLDL-1, the remaining six metabolites significantly mediated the negative association between uPDI and BMD T-score. Interestingly, we observed that the same six metabolites mediated the positive association between fresh fruit and BMD T-score. Collectively, our results support the deleterious effects of plant-based diets on bone health and discover the potential mediation effect of metabolites on the association of plant-based diets with bone loss. The findings offer valuable insights that could optimize dietary recommendations and interventions, contributing to alleviate the potential adverse effects associated with plant-based diets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationship between using a rotary compression device (RCD) with or without sterile gauze and adverse events in transradial access (TRA) for coronary intervention. METHODS In this study involving 933 patients at Yueyang Hospital, we recorded TRA-related adverse events, such as bleeding, forearm hematoma, swollen palms, radial artery occlusion (RAO) and others. Logistic regression was applied to assess the association. RESULTS Of the 933 patients (66.7% males, average age 67.8 years), 511 used RCD with sterile gauze, whereas 422 used RCD without sterile gauze. The most common adverse events were radial artery hemorrhage (7.4%), hand swelling (4.8%) and RAO (4.6%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of RCD with sterile gauze was associated with a higher prevalence of adverse events [odds ratio (OR), 1.74; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22-2.49), even with the adjustment of potential confounders (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.19-2.45). Moreover, patients who used RCD with sterile gauze exhibited an increased risk of radial artery hemorrhage (OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.07-3.12), swelling of the hand (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.02-3.75) and RAO (OR, 3.17; 95% CI, 1.49-6.72). CONCLUSIONS The use of RCD with sterile gauze in TRA is associated with a higher incidence of adverse events.

Abstract
Non‑coding RNAs with a length of 22‑24 nt are known as microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs), which are critical regulators of protein translation. Over the past 10 years, the roles of miRNAs have been extensively investigated in several human cancer types. There is evidence to indicate that miRNAs regulate gene expression by concentrating on a number of substances that have an impact on the physiology and development of cancer cells. Thus, miRNAs as regarded as effective targets for further studies on the design of novel therapeutic strategies. Hepatocellular carcinoma, breast, prostate, and ovarian cancer are only a few of the cancers that miR‑124 suppresses. Furthermore, it has been shown that miR‑124 is linked to the development and aggressive spread of malignancies. The aim of the present review was to clarify and highlight the role of miR‑124 in the development and progression of cancer, emphasizing recent research illustrating how miR‑124 has been used as a therapeutic agent against cancer, as well as the diagnostic potential, regulatory mechanisms and clinical application of miR‑124.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Early diagnosis of transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is crucial for salvaging kidney function and improving patient prognosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate image quality of non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (NCE-MRA) and the value of NCE-MRA in evaluating TRAS compared to DSA. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 60 patients with TRAS confirmed by DSA, the degree of TRAS was assessed using balanced triggered angiography non-contrast-enhanced (B-TRANCE) MR angiography and was compared to that of DSA. Image quality for NCE-MRA was assessed independently by two radiologists. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare NCE-MRA with DSA in assessing TRAS degree. Specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, positive-predictive value (PPV), and negative-predictive value (NPV) of NCE-MRA for the detection of marked (≥50%) TRAS were calculated. RESULTS The image quality of NCE-MRA based on the B-TRANCE technology of transplanted renal arteries was sufficient (excellent in 81.67%, good in 8.33%, moderate in 6.67%, and non-diagnostic in 3.33%) and had a high inter-observer reproducibility (Kappa=0.836). DSA helped identify severe, moderate, and mild stenosis in 6, 32, and 22 arteries, respectively. No significant difference in the extent of TRAS between NCE-MRA and DSA were observed (P = 0.317). The specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of NCE-MRA in detecting marked (≥50%) TRAS were 90.91%, 100%, 96.55%, 94.74%, and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION NCE-MRA based on B-TRANCE technology has shown promising consistency with DSA in evaluating TRAS and yielding high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in assessing the severity of TRAS.

Abstract
Anode-free rechargeable sodium batteries represent one of the ultimate choices for the 'beyond-lithium' electrochemical storage technology with high energy. Operated based on the sole use of active Na ions from the cathode, the anode-free battery is usually reported with quite a limited cycle life due to unstable electrolyte chemistry that hinders efficient Na plating/stripping at the anode and high-voltage operation of the layered oxide cathode. A rational design of the electrolyte toward improving its compatibility with the electrodes is key to realize the battery. Here, we show that by refining the volume ratio of two conventional linear ether solvents, a binary electrolyte forms a cation solvation structure that facilitates flat, dendrite-free, planar growth of Na metal on the anode current collector and that is adaptive to high-voltage Na (de)intercalation of P2-/O3-type layered oxide cathodes and oxidative decomposition of the Na2C2O4 supplement. Inorganic fluorides, such as NaF, show a major influence on the electroplating pattern of Na metal and effective passivation of plated metal at the anode-electrolyte interface. Anode-free batteries based on the refined electrolyte have demonstrated high coulombic efficiency, long cycle life, and the ability to claim a cell-level specific energy of >300 Wh/kg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeting the gut microbiota may become a new therapeutic to prevent and treat sepsis. Nonetheless, the causal relationship between specific intestinal flora and sepsis is still unclear. METHODS A two-sample Mendelian randomization study was performed using the summary statistics of gut microbiota from the largest available genome-wide association study (n = 18,340). The summary statistics of sepsis were obtained from the UK Biobank (n = 486,484). Inverse-variance weighted, weighted median and MR-Egger were used to examine the causal association between gut microbiota and sepsis. Cochrane's Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, MR-PRESSO Global test and Rucker's Q'-test were used for sensitivity analyses. The leave-one method was used for testing the stability of MR results, and Bonferroni-corrected was used to test the strength of the causal relationship between exposure and outcome. RESULTS Nine intestinal microflora were found causally associated with sepsis, and 11 intestinal microflora were causally associated with 28-day death in sepsis. Among them, Order Victivallales had a strong causality with lower risk of sepsis (OR = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.94, p = .00165) and lower 28-day mortality of sepsis (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.53-0.87, p = .00179) after Bonferroni-corrected test. No pleiotropy was detected. CONCLUSIONS Through the two-sample MR analysis, we identified the specific intestinal flora that had a causal relationship with the risk and prognosis of sepsis at the level of gene prediction, which may provide helpful biomarkers for early disease diagnosis and potential therapeutic targets for sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited studies explored the relationship between lymphocyte recovery after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (dCCRT) and prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS ESCC patients with obtainable absolute lymphocyte counts (ALCs) at 6 months after dCCRT were screened from prospective trials. Patients were divided into groups according to the grade of ALC nadir during radiotherapy (G4 or G1-3) and lymphocyte recovery status, which was assessed by lymphocyte recovery index (LRI), calculated as the ratio of post- to pre-treatment lymphocyte counts. Cox analysis was conducted to evaluate the prognostic significance of lymphocyte recovery status. Irradiated relative volumes of the bone marrow (BM) and spleen and effective dose to immune cells (EDIC) were collected to identify their impacts on lymphocyte recovery status by logistic analysis. RESULTS 232 patients were enrolled. In 69 patients with G4 ALC nadir (group A and B) and 163 patients with G1-3 ALC nadir (group C and D) during dCCRT, 27 (group A) and 67 (group C) patients showed an insufficient level of lymphocyte recovery (LRI < 60%), and 42 (group B) and 96 (group D) patients showed a satisfactory level of lymphocyte recovery (LRI ≥ 60%). Cox multivariable analysis revealed that inadequate lymphocyte recovery was significantly associated with worse overall survival (HR, 2.80 and 1.70) and local recurrence-free survival (HR, 2.82 and 1.60) both in group A vs group B and group C vs group D. Logistic analysis identified BM V5 (OR 4.24 and 2.29) as an independent predictor of inadequate lymphocyte recovery from G4 or G1-3 ALC nadir, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Insufficient lymphocyte recovery might serve as a valuable prognostic factor, regardless of whether patients experienced G4 or G1-3 ALC nadir during radiotherapy. Additionally, it was observed that a larger relative volume of BM receiving ≥ 5 Gy was correlated with a higher risk of insufficient lymphocyte recovery.

Abstract
The prosperity of the lithium-ion battery market is dialectically accompanied by the depletion of corresponding resources and the accumulation of spent batteries. It is an urgent priority to develop green and efficient battery recycling strategies for helping ease resources and environmental pressures at the current stage. Here, we propose a mild and efficient lithium extracting strategy based on potential controllable redox couples. Active lithium in the spent battery without discharging is extracted using a series of tailored aprotic solutions comprised of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and ethers. This ensures a safe yet efficient recycling process with nearly ≈100 % lithium recovery. We further investigate the Li+ -electron concerted redox reactions and the effect of solvation structure on kinetics during the extraction, and broaden the applicability of the Li-PAHs solution. This work can stimulate new inspiration for designing novel solutions to meet efficient and sustainable demands in recycling batteries.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy has become the first-line standard treatment for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The reliable biomarkers stratifying true responders of immunotherapy effectively are unknown, and it is urgent to identify novel biomarkers in clinical. Exosomal miRNAs are considered to play a role in intercellular communication among immune cells and interaction between immune cells and tumor cells. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of using plasma-derived exosomal miRNAs as potential biomarkers for identifying responses to immunotherapy in ES-SCLC. MATERIALS/METHODS From March 2020 to September 2021, 24 patients with ES-SCLC who received PD-L1 inhibitors were enrolled. Tumor assessments were conducted after every two treatment cycles according to RECIST 1.1. Plasma samples of these patients were collected before administering PD-L1 inhibitors as the baseline, and after every four cycles until the occurrence of disease progression. Plasma exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation, then total RNA was extracted. The miRNA profile was analyzed with small RNA next-generation sequencing followed by differential expression analysis. RESULTS Of the 24 patients, 15 underwent immunotherapy maintenance after completing four cycles of PD-L1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy. In order to identify biomarkers for a better response to immunotherapy, all five responders (patients achieving PR) and four non-responders (patients achieving PD) at tumor assessment within eight cycles of the maintenance phase were included for differential expression analysis. Surprisingly, hsa-miR-320c, hsa-miR-320d, and hsa-miR-320e showed a trend of increased expression in the non-responders compared with the responders at baseline and were significantly downregulated in the post-treatment plasma exosomes compared with pre-treatment samples of the responders. CONCLUSION Exosomal miRNA profiles are discordant between responders and non-responders of anti-PD-L1 treatment. Hsa-miR-320c, hsa-miR-320d, and hsa-miR-320e were identified as potential biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with ES-SCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is highly effective and less toxic for limited intracranial metastases. Aumolertinib is a tolerable third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has CNS efficacy in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of aumolertinib followed by SRT in patients with intracranial oligometastatic NSCLC. MATERIALS/METHODS Intracranial oligometastatic Patients with EGFR sensitive mutations (EGFR-TKIs naive) were enrolled and received aumolertinib 110mg daily until intracranial disease progression. Then SRT (32-40 Gy total, 8 Gy/f) was given to intracranial oligo-progression disease if possible. The primary endpoint was intracranial objective response rate (iORR). Secondary endpoints included intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS), intracranial duration of response (iDOR)according to RECIST 1.1, cerebral radiation necrosis rate (CRNR) and overall survival (OS). Safety was evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04519983. RESULTS To February 10, 2023, a total of 38 patients were enrolled and 35 patients were assessable followed for 3 months to 18 months. All patients received 110mg aumolertinib daily and received at least one independent imaging evaluation by a radiologist. After oral administration of aumolertinib, the best response of 94% patients in intracranial and extracranial lesions was partial response (PR). Two patients had stable intracranial disease. At data cut-off, one patient developed intracranial primary lesion progression at 12 months after oral administration of aumolertinib but stable in extracranial lesions. SRT treatment was given to this patient. No grade ≥3 adverse events occurred after continued oral administration of aumolertinib. The most common adverse reactions were rash and abnormal liver enzymes, 1 patient had grade 2 CK elevation. CONCLUSION This report showed pronounced intracranial objective response benefit in patients with intracranial oligometastatic disease followed by SRT after intracranial oligo-progression and no new safety signals. Aumolertinib has promising efficacy and good tolerability in intracranial oligometastatic EGFR mutated NSCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To construct a nomogram based on sonogram features and radiomics features to differentiate granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) from invasive breast cancer (IBC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective collection of 213 GLMs and 472 IBCs from three centers was divided into a training set, an internal validation set, and an external validation set. A radiomics model was built based on radiomics features, and the RAD score of the lesion was calculated. The sonogram radiomics model was constructed using ultrasound features and RAD scores. Finally, the diagnostic efficacy of the three sonographers with different levels of experience before and after combining the RAD score was assessed in the external validation set. RESULTS The RAD score, lesion diameter, orientation, echogenicity, and tubular extension showed significant differences in GLM and IBC (p < 0.05). The sonogram radiomics model based on these factors achieved optimal performance, and its area under the curve (AUC) was 0.907, 0.872, and 0.888 in the training, internal, and external validation sets, respectively. The AUCs before and after combining the RAD scores were 0.714, 0.750, and 0.830 and 0.834, 0.853, and 0.878, respectively, for sonographers with different levels of experience. The diagnostic efficacy was comparable for all sonographers when combined with the RAD score (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Radiomics features effectively enhance the ability of sonographers to discriminate between GLM and IBC and reduce interobserver variation. The nomogram combining ultrasound features and radiomics features show promising diagnostic efficacy and can be used to identify GLM and IBC in a noninvasive approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Over 70% of NPC patients were local advanced NPC (LANPC). The 5-year local recurrence-free survival rate is only 70% in T3-4 patients. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) was recommended for LANPC patients. Low-dose fractionated radiotherapy (LDFRT), which is <100cGy, induces enhanced cell killing by the hyper-radiation sensitivity phenomenon and potentiates effects of chemotherapy. The synergy of LDFRT and NACT has not been used in the clinical practice and few studies focused on it. A single arm study found the ORR of primary site was improved to 90% for head and neck squamous carcinoma patients treated with LDFRT and NACT. Our previous study found the ORR of lymph nodes was higher in LDFRT group for high-risk LANPC patients. However, another study showed there was no significant difference between LDFRT and control group for LANPC patients. So, we aimed to investigate the potential efficacy of this novel neoadjuvant therapy for T3-4 NPC patients. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 60 pathological confirmed T3-4 (UICC/AJCC8th) NPC patients were prospectively enrolled in our study. They were randomly assigned to two groups. For the LDFRT group, the patients received 3 cycles of NACT (docetaxel 75mg/m2 D1, cisplatin 80mg/m2 D1) with LDFRT, and followed with CCRT. LDFRT was delivered as 50cGy per fraction twice a day to primary site on D1,2 for each cycle of NACT. The patients in the control group only received NACT and followed with CCRT. All the patients underwent IGRT. RECIST criteria and CTCAE 5.0 was used to evaluate the ORR and toxicity at post-NACT and the completion of CCRT. RESULTS From February 2022 to December 2022, 60 T3-4 NPC patients were included, and 30 patients for each group. For the primary site, the median volume reduction rate and the ORR after NACT was significantly improved in LDFRT group (69.27% vs 40.10%, p<0.001;93.33% vs 73.33%, p = 0.038). For the median volume reduction rate of primary site and lymph node, it was also obviously improved in LDFRT group (86.59% vs 55.43%, p<0.001). Though there was a tendency of ORR improvement in LDFRT group, but no significant difference (96.67% vs 83.33%, p = 0.195). After the completion of CCRT, the median volume reduction rate of primary site had an increased tendency in LDFRT group (96.16% vs 88.3%, p = 0.065), but the ORR had no statistical significance (LDFRT group: CR 45.8%, PR 54.2%; control group: CR 37.5%, PR 62.5%). For the toxicity, the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse events had no difference between two groups (p = 0.786). No grade 5 adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION LDFRT combined with NACT could obviously improve the median volume reduction rate and ORR of primary tumor for T3-4 NPC patients, and the toxicity was similar and tolerable. This novel treatment could be a promising strategy to improve treatment response and needed to be confirmed further.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) A total of 6% - 8% of NPC patients were initial diagnosed as distant metastatic disease. The median overall survival (OS) is only 10-15 months with palliative chemotherapy for these patients. A phase III study showed that palliative chemotherapy combined with radical radiotherapy to primary site could be a newly effective treatment method for metastatic NPC. Another phase 2, RCT found that the patients who had the solid tumors with 1-5 metastases received standard palliative care plus stereotactic body radiation therapy (SABR), and the 5-year OS were improved to 42.3%. Nevertheless, there was few studies focus on the radiation to both primary site and metastatic lesions. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the potential clinical benefits for initial diagnosed metastatic NPC patients with radiation to both primary site and distant metastatic lesions plus palliative chemotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS Metastatic NPC patients treated with radiation to both primary site and distant metastatic lesions plus palliative chemotherapy were retrospectively collected in our hospital from May 2008 to May 2022. For treatment group, all patients underwent IGRT according to ICRU reports 50 and 62. The prescribed dose for primary site: GTVT: ≥66Gy, GTVn: ≥66Gy, CTV1: 60-66Gy, CTV2 54-60Gy, CTVln 50-54Gy. And the prescribed dose for distant metastatic lesions was more than 30Gy. For the control group, the patients treated with palliative chemotherapy were selected by propensity score matching from our hospital. The regimen for palliative chemotherapy was cisplatin-based chemotherapy every three weeks (100mg/m2 D1) for both groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the OS. Cox regression model was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS A total of 54 metastatic NPC patients with radiation to both primary site and distant metastatic lesions were retrospectively included in the treatment group, and another 54 patients were selected as the control group. The median follow-up time was 52 months. In the treatment group, the median age was 52 years (37-82), male (68%), female (32%), the main metastatic sites were bone (36 cases, 66%), lung (18 cases, 33%) and liver (10 cases, 18%). There were 23 oligometastasis cases and 31 cases. 3-year and 5-year OS in the treatment group were both dramatically improved than control group (63.2% vs 50.6%, p<0.05; 49.6% vs 38.9%, p<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that T stage, liver metastatic lesion and oligometastases were the independent prognostic factors for them. CONCLUSION Palliative chemotherapy combined with radiation to primary sites and distant metastatic lesions might improve the OS for initial diagnosed distant metastatic NPC patients. More prospective clinical trials were needed to confirm it further.

Abstract
The surface microlayer membrane (SMM) is a complex and unique water body ecosystem. The SMM has a significant effect on water quality and the water ecological system. However, despite the long-lasting interest in the SMM formation process and its environmental effect mechanism in freshwater, studies on it are still scarce. This paper studied the changes in iron ions concentration and organic matter composition during the SMM formation process. Our results revealed that the iron ions enriched in the SMM, at a concentration of up to 8.02 μg/mL, exist in the form of Fe3+. The main organic matter is polysaccharides and proteins in the SMM. Additionally, the microbial community structure revealed that the changes in iron ion morphology in water and the SMM was a significant association with the presence of Aeromonas and Zoogloea. The rapid enrichment process of iron ions and organic matter in the aquatic surface microlayer is involved in the rapid formation of early SMM. Obviously, these findings provide new insights and a basis for the SMM of freshwater.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common type of cardiac arrhythmia. The main characteristic of AF is an abnormally rapid and disordered atrial rhythm causing an atrial dysfunction, which can be visualized on an electrocardiograph (ECG) and distinguished by irregular fluctuations. Despite continuous and considerable efforts to analyze the pathophysiology of AF, it is challenging to determine the underlying pathogenesis of the disease in individual patients. This study aims to build a bridge between ECG and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to probe the strong influence between human brain activity and AF by AI methods. We first found that the one-second data fragment shows the most excellent performance in our time window configuration. Secondly, in our proposed measurement, most cortical potentials were partly associated with AF. Thirdly, we found that only a few channels of data were sufficient for analysis. Finally, our experiment shows δ wave has the best performance compared to other wave bands. By AI methods, the paper contributes to concluding that δ wave band of EEG is the most associated brain wave type with AF. By EEG signals from typical regions, the central region, parietal and Occipital might be the most associated encephalic regions with AF. The clinical trial registration number for our study is ChiCTR2300068625.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the association between oral health and cognitive function in a sample of older adults from a Chinese rural community. METHODS The cross-sectional cognitive function of 677 individuals were assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). A comprehensive profile of the oral health status was evaluated by questionnaire and clinical examination. RESULTS Multiple covariates-adjusted regression models demonstrated decayed teeth (DT) and decayed/missing/filled teeth (DMFT) were negatively associated with MoCA score (all p < 0.05). Calculus index (CI) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) were significantly associated with the lower MoCA, short-term memory and executive function score, respectively (all p < 0.05). Additionally, participants with missing teeth unrestored tend to get lower MMSE and MoCA scores (p < 0.05). The results also showed that increased DT and CI were modestly associated with higher odds of cognitive impairment (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS There is an association between oral health and global cognition. Poor periodontal status was strongly associated with worse global cognition performance, especially in the short-term memory and executive domain for the aging population.

Abstract
AIMS Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) is a complication of glucose-lowering therapies for diabetes. The purpose of this review was to estimate the pooled prevalence of IAH and unawareness of hypoglycaemia (UAH). METHODS We searched the major databases from inception to 8 August 2022 and included all cross-sectional and cohort studies reporting IAH prevalence in people with diabetes. A random-effects model was used to pool effect values. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were used to identify study-level characteristics affecting prevalence. RESULTS Sixty-two studies from 21 countries published between 2000 and 2022 were included, with 39,180 participants (type 1 diabetes: 19,304 vs. Type 2 diabetes: 14,650). The pooled prevalence was 23.2% (95% CI: 18.4%-29.3%) via the Clarke questionnaire, 26.2% (95% CI: 22.9%-29.9%) via the Gold score, and 58.5% (95% CI: 53.0%-64.6%) via the Pedersen-Bjergaard method, all from studies classified as presenting a moderate and low risk of bias. The prevalence of IAH was generally higher in people with type 1 diabetes than in those with type 2 diabetes and lowest in Europe. Meta-regression results show that the duration of diabetes was a factor influencing the prevalence of IAH. The prevalence of UAH by the Pedersen-Bjergaard method was 17.6 (95% CI: 14.9%-20.3%). CONCLUSIONS IAH is a prevalent risk event among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, showing clinical heterogeneity and regional variability. UAH, an adverse progression of IAH, is also a serious burden. More primary research on the prevalence of IAH is needed in areas with a high diabetes burden.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to estimate the long-term health and economic consequences of improved risk factor control in German adults with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We used the UK Prospective Diabetes Study Outcomes Model 2 to project the patient-level health outcomes and healthcare costs of people with type 2 diabetes in Germany over 5, 10 and 30 years. We parameterised the model using the best available data on population characteristics, healthcare costs and health-related quality of life from German studies. The modelled scenarios were: (1) a permanent reduction of HbA1c by 5.5 mmol/mol (0.5%), of systolic BP (SBP) by 10 mmHg, or of LDL-cholesterol by 0.26 mmol/l in all patients, and (2) achievement of guideline care recommendations for HbA1c (≤53 mmol/mol [7%]), SBP (≤140 mmHg) or LDL-cholesterol (≤2.6 mmol/l) in patients who do not meet the recommendations. We calculated nationwide estimates using age- and sex-specific quality-adjusted life year (QALY) and cost estimates, type 2 diabetes prevalence and population size. RESULTS Over 10 years, a permanent reduction of HbA1c by 5.5 mmol/mol (0.5%), SBP by 10 mmHg or LDL-cholesterol by 0.26 mmol/l led to per-person savings in healthcare expenditures of €121, €238 and €34, and 0.01, 0.02 and 0.015 QALYs gained, respectively. Achieving guideline care recommendations for HbA1c, SBP or LDL-cholesterol could reduce healthcare expenditure by €451, €507 and €327 and gained 0.03, 0.05 and 0.06 additional QALYs in individuals who did not meet the recommendations. Nationally, achieving guideline care recommendations for HbA1c, SBP and LDL-cholesterol could reduce healthcare costs by over €1.9 billion. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Sustained improvements in HbA1c, SBP and LDL-cholesterol control among diabetes patients in Germany can lead to substantial health benefits and reduce healthcare expenditures.

Abstract
As sessile organisms, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to optimize their growth and development in response to fluctuating nutrient levels. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant steroid hormones that play critical roles in plant growth and developmental processes as well as plant responses to environmental stimuli. Recently, multiple molecular mechanisms have been proposed to explain the integration of BRs with different nutrient signaling processes to coordinate gene expression, metabolism, growth, and survival. Here, we review recent advances in understanding the molecular regulatory mechanisms of the BR signaling pathway and the multifaceted roles of BR in the intertwined sensing, signaling, and metabolic processes of sugar, nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron. Further understanding and exploring these BR-related processes and mechanisms will facilitate advances in crop breeding for higher resource efficiency.

Abstract
Tuojiang River watershed is an economically developed and densely populated area in Sichuan Province (southwest of China), which is also an important tributary of the Yangtze River. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the main pollutants affecting water quality, but there is still lack of study on the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of these two pollutants. In this study, the typical non-point source pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed are simulated by Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, and the spatial autocorrelation method is used to reveal the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the pollution loads from the annual average and water periods. Combined with redundancy analysis (RDA) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) analysis, the main driving factors affecting the typical non-point source pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed are discussed from the global and local perspectives. The results show that (1) from different water periods, the pollution loads of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in three water periods show obviously different, is the highest in the abundant water period, with 323.4 kg/ha and 47.9 kg/ha, followed by the normal water period, with 95.7 kg/ha and 14.1 kg/ha, and the lowest in the dry water period, with 28.4 kg/ha and 4.2 kg/ha. The annual average value of TN pollution load is higher than that of TP, with 447.5 kg/ha and 66.1 kg/ha, respectively; (2) the TN and TP pollution loads are stable on the whole, and the overall level in the middle reaches is higher. The pollution loads of Shifang City and Mianzhu City are higher in all three water periods. (3) Elevation and slope are two main driving factors affecting the TN and TP pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed. Therefore, the visualization and quantification of temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of typical non-point source pollution loads in the Tuojiang River watershed are helpful to provide the basis for scientific prevention and control of pollution in the Tuojiang River watershed and are of great significance to promote the sustainable, coordinated, and healthy development of water environment and economy in the watershed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To utilized the baseline data of the Beijing Fangshan Family Cohort Study, and to estimate whether the association between a healthy lifestyle and arterial stiffness might be modified by genetic effects. METHODS Probands and their relatives from 9 rural areas in Fangshan district, Beijing were included in this study. We developed a healthy lifestyle score based on five lifestyle behaviors: smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index (BMI), dietary pattern, and physical activity. The measurements of arterial stiffness were brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and ankle-brachial index (ABI). A variance component model was used to determine the heritability of arterial stiffness. Genotype-environment interaction effects were performed by the maximum likelihood methods. Subsequently, 45 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the glycolipid metabolism pathway were selected, and generalized estimated equations were used to assess the gene-environment interaction effects between particular genetic loci and healthy lifestyles. RESULTS A total of 6 302 study subjects across 3 225 pedigrees were enrolled in this study, with a mean age of 56.9 years and 45.1% male. Heritability of baPWV and ABI was 0.360 (95%CI: 0.302-0.418) and 0.243 (95%CI: 0.175-0.311), respectively. Significant genotype-healthy diet interaction on baPWV and genotype-BMI interaction on ABI were observed. Following the findings of genotype-environment interaction analysis, we further identified two SNPs located in ADAMTS9-AS2 and CDH13 might modify the association between healthy dietary pattern and arterial stiffness, indicating that adherence to a healthy dietary pattern might attenuate the genetic risk on arterial stiffness. Three SNPs in CDKAL1, ATP8B2 and SLC30A8 were shown to interact with BMI, implying that maintaining BMI within a healthy range might decrease the genetic risk of arterial stiffness. CONCLUSION The current study discovered that genotype-healthy dietary pattern and genotype-BMI interactions might affect the risk of arterial stiffness. Furthermore, we identified five genetic loci that might modify the relationship between healthy dietary pattern and BMI with arterial stiffness. Our findings suggested that a healthy lifestyle may reduce the genetic risk of arterial stiffness. This study has laid the groundwork for future research exploring mechanisms of arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Fear generalization is a crucial mechanism underlying maladaptive behavior, but factors influencing this process are not fully understood. We investigated the effects of cue training and context on fear generalization and how cognitive rules influence responses to different conditions. We also examined the role of stimulus intensity in fear generalization to provide insight into fear generalization mechanisms. Participants (n = 104) completed a fear emotion task with two stages: acquisition and generalization testing. Subjective fear expectancy ratings were used as outcome measures. Participants who received single threat cue training exhibited stronger fear generalization responses than those who received discrimination training with threat and safe cues. Participants who received discrimination training and used linear rules had the strongest fear response to the largest stimulus. Therefore, a safe cue may mitigate fear generalization but could increase fear responses to more intense stimuli. Altering context did not change the fear generalization response because fear generalization is mainly governed by the association between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned fear stimulus. The present study emphasizes the multifaceted nature of fear generalization and the importance of examining multiple factors to understand this phenomenon. These findings elucidate fear learning and provide insights needed for effective interventions for maladaptive behavior.

Abstract
Rapid identification of cancer cells is crucial for clinical treatment guidance. Laser tweezer Raman spectroscopy (LTRS) that provides biochemical characteristics of cells can be used to identify cell phenotypes through classification models in a non-invasive and label-free manner. However, traditional classification methods require extensive reference databases and clinical experience, which is challenging when sampling at inaccessible locations. Here, we describe a classification method combing LTRS with deep neural network (DNN) for differential and discriminative analysis of multiple liver cancer (LC) cells. By using LTRS, we obtained high-quality single-cell Raman spectra of normal hepatocytes (HL-7702) and liver cancer cell lines (SMMC-7721, Hep3B, HepG2, SK-Hep1 and Huh7). The tentative assignment of Raman peaks indicated that arginine content was elevated and phenylalanine, glutathione and glutamate content was decreased in liver cancer cells. Subsequently, we randomly selected 300 spectra from each cell line for DNN model analysis, achieving a mean accuracy of 99.2%, a mean sensitivity of 99.2% and a mean specificity of 99.8% for the identification and classification of multiple LC cells and hepatocyte cells. These results demonstrate the combination of LTRS and DNN is a promising method for rapid and accurate cancer cell identification at single cell level.

Abstract
The uncontrollable dendrite growth and unstable solid electrolyte interphase have long plagued the practical application of Li metal batteries. Herein, a dual-layered artificial interphase LiF/LiBO-Ag is demonstrated that is simultaneously reconfigured via an electrochemical process to stabilize the lithium anode. This dual-layered interphase consists of a heterogeneous LiF/LiBO glassy top layer with ultrafast Li-ion conductivity and lithiophilic Li-Ag alloy bottom layer, which synergistically regulates the dendrite-free Li deposition, even at high current densities. As a result, Li||Li symmetric cells with LiF/LiBO-Ag interphase achieve an ultralong lifespan (4500 h) at an ultrahigh current density and area capacity (20 mA cm-2 , 20 mAh cm-2 ). LiF/LiBO-Ag@Li anodes are successfully applied in quasi-solid-state batteries, showing excellent cycling performances in symmetric cells (8 mA cm-2 , 8 mAh cm-2 , 5000 h) and full cells. Furthermore, a practical quasi-solid-state pouch cell coupling with a high-nickel cathode exhibits stable cycling with a capacity retention of over 91% after 60 cycles at 0.5 C, which is comparable or even better than that in liquid-state pouch cells. Additionally, a high-energy-density quasi-solid-state pouch cell (10.75 Ah, 448.7 Wh kg-1 ) is successfully accomplished. This well-orchestrated interphase design provides new guidance in engineering highly stable interphase toward practical high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
The development of a minimally invasive technique for early-stage lung cancer detection is crucial to reducing mortality. Phenotyping of tumor-associated extracellular vesicles (EVs) has the potential for early-stage lung cancer detection, yet remains challenging due to the lack of sensitive, integrated techniques that can accurately detect rare tumor-associated EV populations in blood. Here, we integrated gold core-silver shell nanoparticles and nanoscopic mixing in a microfluidic assay for sensitive phenotypic analysis of EVs directly in plasma without EV pre-isolation. The assay enabled multiplex detection of lung cancer-associated markers PTX3 and THBS1 and canonical EV marker CD63 by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, providing a squared correlation coefficient of 0.97 in the range of 103-107 EVs mL-1 and a limit of detection of 19 EVs mL-1. Significantly, our machine learning-based nanostrategy provided 92.3% sensitivity and 100% specificity in differentiating early-stage lung cancer from benign lung diseases, superior to the CT scan-based lung cancer diagnosis (92.3% sensitivity and 71.4% specificity). Overall, our integrated nanostrategy achieved an AUC value of 0.978 in differentiating between early-stage lung cancer patients (n = 28) and controls consisting of patients with benign lung diseases (n = 23) and healthy controls (n = 26), which showed remarkable diagnostic performance and great clinical potential for detecting the early occurrence of lung cancer.

Abstract
Thermal processing is one of the important techniques for most of the plant-based food and herb medicines before consumption and application in order to meet the specific requirement. The plant and herbs are rich in amino acids and reducing sugars, and thermal processing may lead to Maillard reaction, resulting as a high risk of acrylamide pollution. Acrylamide, an organic pollutant that can be absorbed by the body through the respiratory tract, digestive tract, skin and mucous membranes, has potential carcinogenicity, neurological, genetic, reproductive and developmental toxicity. Therefore, it is significant to conduct pollution determination and risk assessment for quality assurance and security of medication. This review demonstrates state-of-the-art research of acrylamide focusing on the toxicity, formation, contamination, determination, and mitigation in taking food and herb medicine, to provide reference for scientific processing and ensure the security of consumers.

Abstract
Lipolysis and flavor development during fermentation of sour cream were studied by evaluating the physicochemical changes, sensory differences and volatile components. The fermentation caused significant changes in pH, viable count and sensory evaluation. The peroxide value (POV) decreased after reaching the maximum value of 1.07 meq/kg at 15 h, while thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) increased continuously with the accumulation of secondary oxidation products. The Free fatty acids (FFAs) in sour cream were mainly myristic, palmitic and stearic. GC-IMS was used to identify the flavor properties. A total of 31 volatile compounds were identified, among which the contents of characteristic aromatic substances such as ethyl acetate, 1-octen-3-one and hexanoic acid were increased. The results suggest that lipid changes and flavor formation in sour cream are influenced by fermentation time. Furthermore, flavor compounds may be related to lipolysis such as 1-octen-3-one and 2- heptanol were also observed.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is an important member of the immunoglobulin family of inflammatory stimulating receptors and is involved in a number of pathophysiological processes. The present study aimed to investigate the role of TREM2 in neurotoxicity induced by high cholesterol levels in SH-SY5Y cells and explore the potential mechanism. SH-SY5Y cells were routinely cultured and stimulated with a range of cholesterol concentrations. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay, morphological changes were observed, and the cell cycle distribution was measured using flow cytometry. Lipid deposition was measured by Oil red O staining, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of SRBEP-1 and SRBEP-2 were detected by quantitative PCR and western blotting, respectively. Moreover, the protein expression levels of BDNF, Copine-6, TREM1, TREM2, and key molecules of the Wnt signaling pathways were detected by western blotting. Finally, TREM2 was overexpressed to investigate its potential role in high cholesterol-induced neurotoxicity. The results showed that cell viability was significantly decreased in SH-SY5Y cells stimulated with cholesterol (0.1~100 µM) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Stimulation with 100 µM cholesterol for 24 h resulted in morphological injuries, increased the proportion of SH-SY5Y cells at G0/G1, the degree of lipid accumulation, and the protein expression levels of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)1 and SREBP2, markedly decreased the protein expression levels of BDNF, Copine-6, and TREM2, and the p-β-catenin/β-catenin ratio, and increased the expression levels of nesfatin-1, TREM1 and the p-GSK3β/GSK3β ratio. Furthermore, the imbalanced expression of BDNF, Copine-6, nesfatin-1, and p-GSK3β induced by high cholesterol levels was reversed after overexpression of TREM2. These results suggest that a high concentration of cholesterol could induce cell injury and lipid deposition in SH-SY5Y cells and that the underlying mechanism may be associated with imbalanced TREM2 expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To introduce an ultrasound training program for fetal palate screening by using a sequential sector scan through the oral fissure to train less experienced doctors and to investigate its effectiveness. METHODS Twenty doctors and several women at approximately 20-28 weeks of gestation with singleton pregnancies who provided informed consent were enrolled. The training program consisted of theory and practice training, several tests, and two surveys. Trainees were tested before training and immediately after training; for the latter, each item with a score that was less than 60% of the full score was again used for training with a reconstructed plan. Finally, a post-training test was completed. RESULTS The median theory scores, median practice scores, median language competence scores, and median self-assessment scores all increased significantly from the pre-training to post-training tests (P < .01). The median completion time for fetal palate scans decreased significantly from the pre-training to post-training tests (P < .01). The median questionnaire scores were 5.00 for pragmatism, 4.00 for content, 4.00 for scientific nature, and 5.00 for effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS The training program for fetal palate screening can effectively standardize and improve doctors' scans for fetal palates. In addition, the program feasibly allows for the incorporation of the scan sequence into fetal palate screening.
