Abstract
Perivascular spaces (PVSs) as the anatomical basis of the glymphatic system, are increasingly recognized as potential imaging biomarkers of neurological conditions. However, it is not clear whether enlarged PVSs are associated with alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD). We aimed to investigate the effect of long-term alcohol exposure on dyslipidemia and the glymphatic system in ARBD. We found that patients with ARBD exhibited significantly enlargement of PVSs in the frontal cortex and basal ganglia, as well as a notable increased levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG). The anatomical changes of the glymphatic drainage system mentioned above were positively associated with TC and TG. To further explore whether enlarged PVSs affects the function of the glymphatic system in ARBD, we constructed long alcohol exposure and high fat diet mice models. The mouse model of long alcohol exposure exhibited increased levels of TC and TG, enlarged PVSs, the loss of aquaporin-4 polarity caused by reactive astrocytes and impaired glymphatic drainage function which ultimately caused cognitive deficits, in a similar way as high fat diet leading to impairment in glymphatic drainage. Our study highlights the contribution of dyslipidemia due to long-term alcohol abuse in the impairment of the glymphatic drainage system.

Abstract
Poor eggshell quality of eggs laid by aged laying hens is the major problem affecting the length of the rearing period in the laying hen industry. Trace elements are required and play vital roles in the eggshell quality of laying hens. Appropriate dose of organic microelements is environmentally friendly and sufficient to satisfy the needs of hens because of their greater bioavailability and lower excretion than inorganic forms. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of manganese (Mn) glycine (MG) on eggshell quality, elemental deposition, and eggshell ultrastructure in aged laying hens. A total of 720 Hy-Line Brown hens 70 weeks old were assigned equally to four groups with six replicates of 30 birds each. The hens were fed basal diets (without Mn supplementation) supplemented with 120 mg/kg of Mn from manganese sulfate monohydrate (MSM), or 40, 80, or 120 mg/kg Mn from MG for 12 weeks. Dietary supplementation with 80 mg/kg Mn from MG resulted in the greatest eggshell strength after 6 weeks of treatment (P = 0.047), and in greater eggshell strength than observed in the MSM control after 12 weeks of treatment (P = 0.025). After 12 weeks of treatment, the eggs of hens in the MG groups showed lower mammillary layer thickness in the blunt end, equator, and acute end than observed in the MSM control group (P < 0.001). With the exception of the blunt ends of eggs from hens in the 120 mg/kg MG group, the eggs of hens in the MG groups, compared with the MSM control group, exhibited a lower mammillary layer ratio, and greater palisade layer ratio and effective layer ratio in the blunt end, equator, and acute end (P < 0.001). Dietary supplementation with 80 mg/kg Mn from MG, compared with the MSM control and 40 and 120 mg/kg MG, resulted in the greatest palisade layer thickness and effective layer thickness, and the lowest mammillary layer thickness in the equator (P < 0.001, P = 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, supplementation with 80 mg/kg Mn from MG exhibited the greatest ratio of the palisade layer and effective layer, and the lowest mammillary layer ratio in the blunt end and equator (all P < 0.001). The Mn content of eggshells in hens-fed diets supplemented with 80 and 120 mg/kg Mn from MG was greater than that in the MSM control and 40 mg/kg MG groups (P = 0.035). Dietary supplementation with 80 or 120 mg/kg Mn from MG resulted in greater tibia Mn content than observed in the 40 mg/kg MG group (P = 0.019), and greater yolk Mn content than observed in the 40 mg/kg MG and MSM control groups (P = 0.018). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with 80 mg/kg Mn from MG, compared with the MSM control (120 mg/kg Mn), may increase the deposition efficiency of Mn, alter eggshell elemental composition, improve eggshell ultrastructure, and enhance eggshell strength in aged laying hens.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effects of a fortified balanced salt solution (fSS) and Ringer's lactate solution (Ringer) on anterior chamber (AC) inflammation in patients undergoing phacoemulsification. SETTING Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital, Tianjin, China. DESIGN Prospective masked controlled trial. METHODS 80 patients (40 patients with regular cataract and 40 cataract patients with diabetes mellitus [DM]) were randomized to receive either fSS (n = 40) or Ringer's solution (n = 40). Anterior-segment optical coherence tomography was used to evaluate AC cells and flare. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) immunofluorescence were used for tight junction examination. Monocytic leukemia cell line (Tohoku Hospital Pediatrics-1 [THP-1]) transmigration assay was performed to observe the effects of the 2 perfusates on the inflammatory response in vitro. RESULTS In patients with regular cataracts, postoperative AC cells and flare on the 1st and 7th days were not significantly different between the Ringer and fSS groups. However, in cataract patients with DM, AC cells were higher in the Ringer group than in the fSS group ( P = .003) on postoperative day 1. The AC flare was also significantly higher in the Ringer group than in the fSS group ( P < .0001). No significant differences between the groups were observed on day 7. Compared with Ringer, fSS increased the TEER value and ZO-1 content and reduced the adhesion of THP-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicated that early postoperative AC inflammation is more severe in patients with cataracts and DM. In addition, fSS attenuates inflammation by protecting the blood-aqueous barrier and inhibiting the exudation of inflammatory cells.

Abstract
Energy and the cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB)/steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) signaling pathway play important roles in steroid hormone production and follicular development in hens. This present study aimed to investigate the effects of exogenous energy on the synthesis of steroid hormones and the expression characteristics of the CREB/StAR signaling pathway in theca cells of laying hen. The primary theca cells of small yellow follicles were randomly divided into 6 treatments and cultured in medium with glucose concentrations of 1, 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, and 7.5 mg/mL for 48 h. It was found that growth was robust and cell outlines were clear when cells were cultured with 1, 1.5, 3, and 4.5 mg/mL glucose, but cell viability was diminished and cell density decreased after exposure to glucose at 6 and 7.5 mg/mL for 48 h. Cell viability showed an increasing and then decreasing quadratic response to increasing glucose concentration in culture (r2 = 0.688, P < 0.001). The cell viability of theca cells cultured with 4.5 mg/mL glucose was greater than those cultured with 1, 1.5, 6, and 7.5 mg/mL glucose (P < 0.05). The concentration of estradiol in the medium containing 3 mg/mL glucose was higher than in medium containing 1, 1.5, and 6 mg/mL glucose (P < 0.05). There was an increasing and then decreasing quadratic correlation between progesterone concentrations and glucose concentrations (r2 = 0.522, P = 0.002). The concentration of progesterone in medium with 4.5 mg/mL glucose was higher than in medium with 1 and 7.5 mg/mL glucose (P < 0.05). There was an increasing and then decreasing quadratic correlation between the relative expression of CREB1 (r2 = 0.752, P < 0.001), StAR (r2 = 0.456, P = 0.002), CYP1B1 (r2 = 0.568, P < 0.001), and 3β-HSD (r2 = 0.319, P = 0.018) in theca cells of laying hens and glucose concentrations after treatment with different glucose concentrations for 48 h. After treatment with 4.5 mg/mL glucose, the expression of StAR, CYP1B1, and 3β-HSD genes were increased compared to treatment with 1, 1.5, 3, 6, and 7.5 mg/mL glucose (P < 0.001). There was an increasing and then decreasing quadratic correlation between glucose concentrations and protein expression of CREB1 (r2 = 0.819, P < 0.001), StAR (r2 = 0.844, P < 0.001), 3β-HSD (r2 = 0.801, P < 0.001), and CYP11A1 (r2 = 0.800, P < 0.001) in theca cells of laying hens. The protein expression of CREB1, StAR, and 3β-HSD in theca cells cultured with 4.5 mg/mL glucose was higher than in other groups (P < 0.001). The results indicate that the appropriate glucose concentration (4.5 mg/mL) can improve the synthesis of steroid hormones in theca cells of laying hens through the upregulation of key genes and proteins in the CREB/StAR signaling pathway.

Abstract
AIMS Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) has been shown to better maintain electrical synchrony compared with right ventricular pacing (RVP), but little is known about its impact on mechanical synchrony. This study investigates whether LBBP better preserves left ventricular (LV) mechanical synchronicity and function compared with RVP. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty patients with pacing indication for bradycardia were included: LBBP (n = 31) and RVP (n = 29). Echocardiography was performed before and shortly after pacemaker implantation and at 1-year follow-up. The lateral wall-septal wall (LW-SW) work difference was used as a measure of mechanical dyssynchrony. Septal flash, apical rocking, and septal strain patterns were also assessed. At baseline, LW-SW work difference was small and similar in two groups. SW was markedly decreased, while LW work remained mostly unchanged in RVP, resulting in a larger LW-SW work difference compared with LBBP (1253 ± 687 mmHg·% vs. 439 ± 408 mmHg·%, P < 0.01) at last follow-up. In addition, RVP more often induced septal flash or apical rocking and resulted in more advanced strain patterns compared with LBBP. At 1 year follow-up, LV ejection fraction (EF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were more decreased in RVP compared with LBBP (ΔLVEF: -7.4 ± 7.0% vs. 0.3 ± 4.1%; ΔLVGLS: -4.8 ± 4.0% vs. -1.4 ± 2.5%, both P < 0.01). In addition, ΔLW-SW work difference was independently correlated with LV adverse remodelling (r = 0.42, P < 0.01) and LV dysfunction (ΔLVEF: r = -0.61, P < 0.01 and ΔLVGLS: r = -0.38, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION LBBP causes less LV mechanical dyssynchrony than RVP as it preserves a more physiologic electrical conduction. As a consequence, LBBP appears to preserve LV function better than RVP.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the nutritional status of progeria, and to provide reference for scientific nutritional management of progeria. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 15 children with progeria who were treated at Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, between April 2022 and May 2023. Data of medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, dietary survey and body composition were collected and analyzed. Results: Among 15 patients there were 7 males and 8 females, aged 7.8 (2.3, 10.8) years. Twelve of the 15 patients exhibited signs of malnutrition. A 24-hour dietary survey was carried out in 14 of them. The daily energy intake of 11 cases was below recommended levels. Carbohydrate intake was insufficient in 10 cases, protein intake was insufficient in 7 cases, and fat intake was insufficient in 12 cases. Deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc were noted in 13, 13, 9 and 10 cases, respectively. Body composition was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 8 cases, and the bone mineral density was below average in 5 of them. Conclusions: Malnutrition, characterized by reduced energy intake, micronutrient deficiencies, and alteration in body composition, is prevalent in children with progeria. Regular routine nutritional assessment and proper interventions may benefit their long-term health status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between integrated lifestyles, mental status and their impact on overall well-being has attracted considerable attention. This study aimed to evaluate the association between lifestyle factors, depression and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in adults aged 18-64 years. METHODS A cohort of 3482 participants diagnosed with diabetes was drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning the years 1999-2018. DR was defined based on self-reported diabetic retinopathy diagnoses by professional physicians, relying on Diabetes Interview Questionnaires. Subgroup analysis was employed to assess lifestyle and psychological factors between participants with DR and those without, both overall and stratified by diabetic duration. Continuous variables were analyzed using the student's t test, while weighted Rao-Scott χ2 test were employed for categorical variables to compare characteristics among the groups. RESULTS Of the 3482 participants, 767 were diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy, yielding a weighted DR prevalence of 20.8%. Patients with DR exhibited a higher prevalence of heavy drinking, depression, sleep deprivation, and insufficient physical activity compared to those without DR. Furthermore, multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that sleeping less than 5 h (OR = 3.18, 95%CI: 2.04-4.95, p < 0.001) and depression (OR = 1.35, 95%CI:1.06-1.64, p = 0.025) were associated with a higher risk of DR, while moderate drinking (OR = 0.49, 95%CI: 0.32-0.75, p = 0.001) and greater physical activity (OR = 0.64, 95%CI: 0.35-0.92, p = 0.044) were identified as protective factors. CONCLUSIONS Adults aged 18-64 years with DR exhibited a higher prevalence of lifestyle-related risk factors and poorer mental health. These findings underscore the need for concerted efforts to promote healthy lifestyles and positive emotional well-being in this population.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Longitudinal structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data have been widely used for tracking AD pathogenesis and diagnosis. However, existing methods tend to treat each time point equally without considering the temporal characteristics of longitudinal data. In this paper, we propose a weighted hypergraph convolution network (WHGCN) to use the internal correlations among different time points and leverage high-order relationships between subjects for AD detection. Specifically, we construct hypergraphs for sMRI data at each time point using the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) method to represent relationships between subjects, and then fuse the hypergraphs according to the importance of the data at each time point to obtain the final hypergraph. Subsequently, we use hypergraph convolution to learn high-order information between subjects while performing feature dimensionality reduction. Finally, we conduct experiments on 518 subjects selected from the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI) database, and the results show that the WHGCN can get higher AD detection performance and has the potential to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Walking pace is associated with various health-related outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between self-reported walking pace and the incidences of diabetic microvascular complications among participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Self-reported walking pace was classified as brisk, average, or slow. The outcomes were the incidences of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic nephropathy. COX proportional hazards models adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related factors were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. RESULTS A total of 14 518 participants with T2D in the UK Biobank (mean age 59.7 ± 7.0 years, 5028 [34.6%] women) were included. During a median follow-up of 12.5 (interquartile range: 11.6-13.4) years, 2980 participants developed diabetic microvascular complications. After adjusting for confounding factors, and compared with brisk walkers, slow walkers had a multivariable-adjusted HR of 1.98 (95% CI 1.58, 2.47) for composite diabetic microvascular complications, 1.54 (95% CI 1.11, 2.14) for diabetic retinopathy, 3.26 (95% CI 2.08, 5.11) for diabetic neuropathy, and 2.32 (95% CI 1.91, 2.82) for diabetic nephropathy. Average walking pace was associated with a higher risk for diabetic nephropathy (HR 1.51, 95 CI% 1.27-1.79) compared with brisk walking. Additionally, ≥1 diabetic microvascular complication occurred in 447 (14.7%) of participants with brisk walking pace, 1702 (19.5%) with average walking pace, and 831 (30.4%) with slow walking pace. Time from study recruitment to first diagnosis was shorter in participants who reported a slow walking pace, compared with brisk or average walkers. Among participants who had diabetic nephropathy as their first diagnosis, slow walking pace was associated with subsequent risk of a second diabetic microvascular complication (HR 3.88, 95 CI% 2.27-6.60). CONCLUSIONS Self-reported slow walking pace is associated with a higher risk of diabetic microvascular complications among participants with T2D in this population-based cohort study.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and inflammation have been implicated in hepatic fibrosis. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities are among the pharmacological effects of hyperoside. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of hyperoside on hepatic fibrosis and elucidate the underlying processes that perpetuate this relationship. The findings indicated that hyperoside significantly protects mouse livers against damage, inflammation, and fibrosis. Specifically, attenuation of hepatic fibrosis is associated with lower expression of HMGB1 protein and reduced expression of Toll-like receptor 4, PARP-1, and nuclear factor-kB (NF-κB) p65 mRNA and protein. Furthermore, hyperoside inhibited the cytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1 and nuclear localization of NF-κB p65 in the hepatic tissues of mice. The results of this study indicate that hyperoside may impose a blocking or reversing effect on hepatic fibrosis; additionally, the corresponding hyperoside-dependent mechanism may be linked to PARP-1-HMGB1 pathway regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are a major source of osteoblast precursor cells and are directly involved in osteoporosis (OP) progression. Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is an important regulator for osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, its role and mechanism in osteogenic differentiation process deserve further investigation. METHODS hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by flow cytometry, alkaline phosphatase assay and alizarin red staining. Western blot was used to test osteogenic differentiation-related proteins, BRD4 protein, WNT family members-4 (WNT4)/NF-κB-related proteins, and glycolysis-related proteins. Metabolomics techniques were used to detect metabolite changes and metabolic pathways. BRD4 and WNT4 mRNA levels were determined using quantitative real-time PCR. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay were performed to detect BRD4 and WNT4 interaction. Glycolysis ability was assessed by testing glucose uptake, lactic acid production, and ATP levels. RESULTS After successful induction of osteogenic differentiation, the expression of BRD4 was increased significantly. BRD4 knockdown inhibited hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation. Metabolomics analysis showed that BRD4 expression was related to glucose metabolism in osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, BRD4 could directly bind to the promoter of the WNT4 gene. Further experiments confirmed that recombinant WNT4 reversed the inhibition effect of BRD4 knockdown on glycolysis, and NF-κB inhibitors (Bardoxolone Methyl) overturned the suppressive effect of BRD4 knockdown on hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation. CONCLUSION BRD4 promoted hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation by inhibiting NF-κB pathway via enhancing WNT4 expression.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of occupational lung diseases, to reduce the missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses of the diseases and to help standardize the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Methods: A total of 4 813 lung biopsy specimens (including 1 935 consultation cases) collected at the Department of Pathology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing, China from January 1st, 2017 to December 31th, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 126 cases of occupational lung diseases were confirmed with clinical-radiological-pathological diagnosis. Special staining, PCR and scanning electron microscopy were also used to rule out the major differential diagnoses. Results: The 126 patients with occupational lung diseases included 102 males and 24 females. All of them had a history of exposure to occupational risk factor(s). Morphologically, 68.3% (86/126) of the cases mainly showed pulmonary fibrotic nodules, dust plaque formation or carbon end deposition in pulmonary parenchyma. 16.7% (21/126) of the cases mainly showed welding smoke particle deposition in the alveolar cavity and lung interstitium while 15.1% (19/126) of the cases showed granulomas with fibrous tissue hyperplasia, alveolar protein deposition or giant cell interstitial pneumonia. The qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses of residual dust components in the lung under scanning electron microscope were helpful for the diagnosis of welder's pneumoconiosis and hard metal lung disease. Conclusions: The morphological characteristics of lung biopsy tissue are important reference basis for the clinicopathological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of occupational lung diseases. Recognizing the characteristic morphology and proper use of auxiliary examination are the key to an accurate diagnosis of occupational lung diseases on biopsy specimens.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the precise association between BMI and waist circumference (WC) and diabetic complications, including retinopathy (DR), nephropathy (DN) and peripheral neuropathy (DPN). METHODS A multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the observed association from 30,541 UK Biobank participants with diabetes. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) framework was applied to summary-level GWASs of BMI and WC comprising a total of 461,460 and 462,166 participants from UK Biobank to explore the potential causal association. RESULTS Higher BMI and WC were associated with increased risks of DR, DN, and DPN (HR (95% CI), per-SD increase: BMI: DR 1.09 (1.04-1.13), DN 1.37 (1.33-1.41), DPN 1.27 (1.20-1.34); WC: DR 1.11 (1.07-1.16), DN 1.41 (1.36-1.46), DPN 1.38 (1.30-1.45)) in the UK Biobank cohort. Univariate MR indicated that increased BMI and WC were causal risk factors for these complications (OR (95% CI), per-SD increase: BMI: DR 1.33 (1.22-1.45), DN 1.74 (1.47-2.07), DPN 2.20 (1.67-2.90); WC: DR 1.43 (1.27-1.61), DN 2.03 (1.62-2.55), DPN 2.80 (1.99-3.92)), and the effect sizes remained significant after adjustment for glycated hemoglobin. CONCLUSIONS Prospective observational and MR analyses provided evidence that high BMI and WC may represent potential causal risk factors for diabetic microvascular complications. Weight control might modify the risks of these complications independently of glycemic control and should be considered as a therapeutic recommendation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current evidence suggests that Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors are associated with the occurrence and progression of cerebrovascular diseases. The present study investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor gamma2 subunit (GABRG2) gene and ischemic stroke (IS). METHODS A total of 120 healthy volunteers and 187 patients with IS were recruited. Patients underwent complete neurological assessment and classification with the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST). Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to analyze SNP sites in 4 different regions (rs211037, rs418210, rs211035, and rs424740) of the GABRG2 gene. SHEsis online platform was used to assess SNP allele and genotype frequencies. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for IS. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that the T allele and TT genotype distribution for rs211037 were significantly more frequent in the IS group compared to controls (pallele = 0.01, odds ratio (OR) = 1.673, 95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.119-2.500, pgenotype = 0.03). Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the TT genotype for rs211037 was an independent risk factor for IS (p = 0.017, OR = 1.925, 95% CI, 1.122-3.303). Age was also found to be an independent risk factor, and the older the age, the higher the risk of IS (p = 0.001, OR = 1.047, 95% CI, 1.020-1.073). Finally, subgroup analysis revealed that patients with the rs211037 TT genotype were associated with a higher NIHSS score (p = 0.03), and that large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subtype was predominant in patients with the rs211037 TT genotype (p = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest the rs211037 polymorphism in the GABRG2 gene is an independent risk factor for IS in the Chinese population. GABRG2 could thus be a potential biomarker to assess the risk of IS.

Abstract
Sequential neural dynamics encoded by "time cells" play a crucial role in hippocampal function. However, the role of hippocampal sequential neural dynamics in associative learning is an open question. In this manuscript, we used two-photon Ca2+ imaging of dorsal CA1 pyramidal neurons in head-fixed mice performing a go-no-go associative learning task. We found that pyramidal cells responded differentially to the rewarded or unrewarded stimuli. The stimuli were decoded accurately from the activity of the neuronal ensemble, and accuracy increased substantially as the animal learned to differentiate the stimuli. Decoding the stimulus from individual pyramidal cells that responded differentially revealed that decision-making took place at discrete times after stimulus presentation. Lick prediction decoded from the ensemble activity of cells in dCA1 correlated linearly with lick behavior indicating that sequential activity of pyramidal cells in dCA1 constitutes a temporal memory map used for decision-making in associative learning.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is a critical and initiating factor of the vascular complications of diabetes. Inflammation plays an important role in endothelial dysfunction regulated by epigenetic modifications. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most prevalent epigenetic modifications in eukaryotic cells. In this research, we identified an m6A demethylase, fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), as an essential epitranscriptomic regulator in diabetes-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction. We showed that enhanced FTO reduced the global level of m6A in hyperglycemia. FTO knockdown in endothelial cells (ECs) resulted in less inflammation and compromised ability of migration and tube formation. Compared with EC Ftofl/fl diabetic mice, EC-specific Fto-deficient (EC FtoΔ/Δ) diabetic mice displayed less retinal vascular leakage and acellular capillary formation. Furthermore, methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-Seq) combined with RNA-Seq indicated that Tnip1 served as a downstream target of FTO. Luciferase activity assays and RNA pull-down demonstrated that FTO repressed TNIP1 mRNA expression by erasing its m6A methylation. In addition, TNIP1 depletion activated NF-κB and other inflammatory factors, which aggravated retinal vascular leakage and acellular capillary formation, while sustained expression of Tnip1 by intravitreal injection of adeno-associated virus alleviated endothelial impairments. These findings suggest that the FTO-TNIP1-NF-κB network provides potential targets to treat diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Patients with bulky urinary tract malignancy have poor prognosis. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) needs careful consideration in abdominopelvic bulky tumors because of dose constraints on the OARs. We reported updated clinical outcomes to evaluate the safety and efficacy of partial stereotactic ablative radiotherapy(P-SABR) in bulky urinary tract malignancy. The study also aims to investigate the feasibility of P-SABR in dose and biologic effective dose (BED) escalation inside the tumors with equivalent toxicity. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 26 patients with urinary tract malignancy underwent P-SABR radiotherapy from January 2013 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. All the patients were in inoperable locally advanced or metastatic stage with tumor diameter > 4.0 cm. The P-SABR plan consisted of the SABR for gross tumor volume boost (GTVb) and following conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for planning target volume (PTV). The first SABR plan to GTVb was delivered in 15-32Gy/3-5f. The second conventionally fractionated radiotherapy plan to PTV was delivered in 40.0-58.08Gy/15-26f. The total P-SABR plan met the OARs constraints. Local control and overall survival were estimated. Acute and late toxicity were evaluated according to RTOG criteria. Paired conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) plans were re-designed for all patients, with the same OARs dose constraints and total dose of PTV margin. Dosimetric and BED parameters were compared in P-SABR and paired CFRT plans. RESULTS Median age of the patients was 66.5 years (range, 46-90 years). The tumor treated by P-SABR had a median diameter of 8.4 cm (4.1-19.5 cm) and a median volume of 99.2 cc (23.9-631.8 cc). Median follow-up time was 19.1 months. The local control at 1 and 2 years were 83.2%, 77.3%, respectively. The overall survival at 1 and 2 years were 72.2% ,45.5%, respectively. 6 cases have no local recurrence after 36 months. 4 cases remained alive after 60 months. Local symptoms improved in 15/16 cases after P-SABR. Multivariate analysis showed tumor diameter (≥8cm vs. <8cm) was the independent factor affecting local control and overall survival (P=0.033, P=0.016). No patient was observed radiotherapy directly induced ≥grade 3 toxicity. Compared with the paired CFRT plans, the P-SABR plans had no significant difference in most OAR dose parameters, except for the small intestine/colon V15, V45 with an increase of 14.6 cc, 3.4 cc. However, P-SABR plans increased the dose of PTV Dmean, Dmax by 8.7Gy, 14.4Gy (P < 0.001), respectively. In addition, the dose and BED of GTVb had a significant escalation of 15.8Gy and 30.2Gy (P<0.001) respectively in P-SABR plans. CONCLUSION We had reported P-SABR is well-tolerated in bulky urinary tract malignancy in previous study. Updated outcomes showed P-SABR may have long-term local control in these people. Compared with traditional CFRT plans, P-SABR plans escalated the dose and BED inside bulky tumors with equivalent toxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Ferroptosis is currently a common mode of programmed cell death, and the induction of ferroptosis is a new strategy and idea for current tumor therapy. Therefore, the signaling pathways and genes regulated by ferroptosis are significant markers for current malignant tumor therapy. To construct a prognostic model for predicting the survival prognosis of prostate cancer (PCa) based on the molecules and markers related to ferroptosis, we combined with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in PCa patients, and further analyze the correlation between this risk score and immune cell infiltration. Finally, to validate the expression of risk genes and analyze the expression and localization of risk genes in using the datasets of single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). MATERIALS/METHODS Firstly, we screened the DEGs in PCa patients by the expression profiles of TCGA database. Meanwhile, we collected the information of ferroptosis regulatory genes from FerrDb, and these two parts were intersected. Then the impact of genes on the survival and prognosis of PCa patients was confirmed and selected by LASSO regression, further screening of molecules and fitting the risk format. And the efficacy of the model was evaluated by ROC curves. The immune cell infiltration of PCa tissues was predicted using TIMER. Last, the scRNA-seq of PCa (GSM5155455, GSM3735993) were carried to reveal the expression of risk molecules in different cell types. Besides, the expression of risk molecules was validated using PCa cell lines. RESULTS We found a total of 259 DEGs associated with ferroptosis in PCa tissues. After LASSO regression, we screened DRD5, LINC00336, ACSF2, RRM2, NOX1, GDF15, ALB, MIOX, and NOX4 as variables to establish a prognostic model, and the specific risk scores was calculated following this format: Risk score = (-1.9465)*DRD5+(-1.6806)*LINC00336+(0.3045)*ACSF2+(0.4747)*RRM2+(-0.2815)*NOX1+(-0.1871)* GDF15+(0.1846)*ALB+(0.2676)*MIOX+(0.1648)*NOX4 (lambda.min = 0.0032), with a 10-yr AUC value of 0.751 (95% CI, 0.549-0.953). Furthermore, we discovered the higher the scores, the fewer CD8+ T cells infiltrated as predicting, showing a negative relationship. By testing the gene sets of scRNA-seq forPCa, we discovered that RRM2, GDF15, ALB, and MIOX were mainly expressed in tumor cells, T cells, B cells and neutrophils of PCa tissues, and not in endothelial cells. Finally, we detected differences in protein expression of RRM2, GDF15, and MIOX in PCa cell lines compared to normal prostate cancer epithelium by WB. CONCLUSION We constructed a novel prognostic model for PCa based on ferroptosis-related genes, which showed better predictive validity. And we analyzed the cellular expression of risk genes by scRNA-seq, which will be explored future in relation to prostate cancer radiotherapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of energy-restricted feeding during growing phase on the productive performance of Hyline Brown laying hens aged 6 to 72 wk. A total of 720 six-week-old layer chicks were allocated equally to 3 groups with 6 replicates of 40 pullets each, and were fed 1 of 3 diets that were nutritionally similar except for the apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn) content. At the age of 6 to 17 wk, the pullets in the control group were given diet with 2,850 kcal/kg AMEn, and were fed ad libitum. The levels of AMEn in diet of pullets in the experimental groups were 90% (2,565 [2,850 × 90%] kcal/kg) and 80% (2,280 [2,850 × 80%] kcal/kg) of that in control group, and the daily amount of feed was restricted to the absolute quantity of the diet consumed by pullets in control group. At the age of 18 to 72 wk, all the hens were fed with the same diets ad libitum. As energy restriction increased in the growing phase, body weight (BW) dropped at the ages of 12 and 15 to 23 wk (at 23 wk: P = 0.001; at other ages: P < 0.001), but it showed no significant difference at 24 wk (P = 0.071). At 20 wk, restricting energy induced a delay in the development of sexual organs, including the ovary stroma, oviduct, and small yellow follicle (P < 0.05), as well as a delay in sexual maturity (P < 0.05). Consequently, the laying rate in the first and second periods dropped linearly (P = 0.046, 0.030, and 0.038, P < 0.001, respectively). The coefficient of variation (CV) in the BW at 19, 20, and 21 wk (P = 0.040, 0.023, and 0.042, respectively), the CV of age at first egg (P < 0.001), and CV of individual egg number at age 18 to 72 wk (P < 0.001) decreased linearly. There was a linear increase in the laying rate of hens in the later periods (at age 32-72 wk, P < 0.05), as well as in the average total egg number per hen and average laying rate at the age of 18 to 72 wk (P = 0.006). The average egg mass also showed a linear increase with increasing levels of energy restriction (P < 0.001). In summary, although appropriate energy restriction during growing phase delayed sexual maturity and sexual organ development in early-laying Hyline Brown pullets, it improved uniformity of BW, age at first egg laying, and individual egg number, and increased egg number per hen, laying rate, average egg mass, and number of settable eggs from 18 to 72 wk of age.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate the impact of prophylactic pelvic nodal irradiation in de-novo oligometastatic prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy (RT) for both primary tumor and all metastatic lesions. MATERIALS/METHODS This was a single-center prospective cohort study. De novo oligometastatic prostate cancer patients with RT for both primary tumor and all metastatic lesions were included. Kaplan-Meier method, log rank test and cox regression were used to calculate OS and PFS. PFS included PSA failure, local or distant failure assessed by imaging. RESULTS This study analyzed 202 patients from 10/2011 to 1/2022 with median follow-up of 48 months. A total of 126 (62.4%) patients were treated with pelvic lymph node RT. The dose was 47.5 Gy with 1.9 Gy per fraction. Among them, 66 (32.7%) patients were treated with whole pelvic RT (WPRT), which the upper limit was at the aortic bifurcation. 60 (29.7%) patients were treated with mini-WPRT, which the upper limit was at the lower margin of obturator foramen. The incidence of diarrhea (P = 0.038) and leukocyte reduction (P = 0.040) in the WPRT subgroup during radiotherapy was significantly higher than that in the mini-WPRT and non-pelvic RT subgroup. For the whole cohort, the median OS and PFS were not reached. The subgroup analysis showed that the elective pelvic nodal irradiation could improve PFS (P = 0.042). However, there was no difference of PFS between standard WPRT and mini-WPRT. CONCLUSION The study suggests that for de-novo oligometastatic prostate cancer, elective pelvic nodal irradiation may improve PFS. For patients who cannot tolerate WPRT, mini-WPRT may be an alternative option. However, it needs to be verified in the prospective RCT study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the density, distribution and insecticide resistance of Aedes albopictus in Ningbo City in 2021, so as to provide insights into formulation of dengue fever control strategies. METHODS Four administrative villages were randomly selected from each county (district) in Ningbo City from April to November, 2021, to investigate the indoor population density of Aedes larvae, and the Breteau index (BI) was calculated. The population density of adult mosquitoes was investigated in residential areas, parks/bamboo forests, waste tire stacking sites/waste stations/construction sites in each county (district). On June 2021, larvae of the natural strain A. albopictus were collected from epidemic sites of dengue fever in Ningbo City in 2018, and raised in laboratory. Then, larvae and female mosquitoes without blood feeding were selected for insecticide resistance bioassays, while insecticide-sensitive strains of A. albopictus served as controls. The resistance of A. albopictus larvae to deltamethrin, beta-cypermethrin, propoxur, temephos and dichlorvos using the impregnation method, and the medium lethal concentration (LC50) and resistance ratio (RR) were calculated. The resistance of adult A. albopictus to beta-cypermethrin, permethrin, deltamethrin, propoxur and malathion was determined using the tube bioassay, and the mosquito mortality was calculated. RESULTS A total of 10 072 small water containers from 9 935 households were investigated in Ningbo City in 2021, and there were 1 276 containers with Aedes larvae detected, with an average BI of 12.89. Totally 1 422 mosquito nets were allocated and 954 female A. albopictus were captured, with an average net trapping index of 1.34 mosquitoes/(net·hour). Both larval and adult A. albopictus mosquitoes were found from April to November, and the density of larval A. albopictus peaked in September (BI = 21.21), while the density of adult A. albopictus peaked in August, with a net trapping index of 2.38 mosquitoes/(net·hour). The LC50 values of delta-methrin, beta-cypermethrin, propoxur, temephos and dichlorvos were 0.017 4, 0.000 9, 0.364 1, 0.038 1 mg/L and 0.001 6 mg/L against larvae of natural strains of A. albopicchus, with RRs of 49.66, 25.53, 9.65, 2.24 and 6.06, and the mortality rates of adult mosquitoes were 66.00% (66/100), 69.39% (68/98), 25.00% (25/100), 98.97% (96/97) and 100.00% (98/98) 24 hours post-treatment with 0.08% beta-cypermethrin, 0.03% deltamethrin, 0.4% permethrin, 0.05% propoxur, and 0.5% malathion for 24 h, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A. albopictus is widely distributed in Ningbo City, with a high population density and presents high-level resistance to common pyrethroid insecticides. The population density and insecticide resistance of A. albopictus requires to be reinforced.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE We present a unique cause for zonular dehiscence, which provides a pathway for subsequent dislocation of an implanted phakic refractive lens (PRL) into the vitreous cavity. PURPOSE To determine the cause of zonular dehiscence and to avoid similar complications after PRL implantation in the future. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old highly myopic patient with refraction of -24.0 DS in both eyes received PRL implantation in both eyes. In the 14-month postoperative follow-up, it was found that the PRL dislocated into the vitreous cavity. The patient then underwent phacoemulsification and vitrectomy. The patient was treated successfully. No ocular complication was found. The visual acuity of the left eye was 20/40, two weeks after surgery. CONCLUSIONS We report a unique cause for zonular dehiscence, and the clarification of its detailed characteristics may contribute to prevention of such a complication in the future.

Abstract
Purpose Circulating exosomes regulate immune responses and induce immune tolerance in immune-mediated diseases. This study aimed to investigate the role of circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, in T-cell responses. Methods The sEVs were isolated from the plasma of healthy controls, patients with VKH, and other uveitis patients. The effects of autologous and allogeneic sEVs on the proliferation of circulating CD4+ T cells were evaluated. Microarray analysis of sEVs was performed to determine their differential miRNA expression profiles. The target genes of the candidate miRNA were predicted and verified. The role of both the candidate miRNA and target genes in T-cell proliferation was tested. Results Plasma-derived sEVs from patients with VKH inhibited the proliferation of autologous CD4+ T cells. Among all the miRNAs that might be associated with inflammatory activity, we found that miR-410-3p had the largest number of T-cell proliferation target genes. MiR-410-3p mimics inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat cells and CD4+ T cells. C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) was confirmed to be a potential target gene of miR-410-3p, and siRNA-mediated CXCL5 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation. Conclusions Circulating sEVs exert an inhibitory effect on autologous CD4+ T cells mediated by miR-410-3p by targeting CXCL5, supporting the possibility of using autogenic sEVs to inhibit ocular inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a type of disease frequently occurs in the elderly population. Diagnosis and treatment methods for this disease are still lacking, and more research is required. In addition, little is known about the function of the circular RNAs (circRNAs) in AD. METHODS In this research, RNA expression data of AD from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were downloaded. The expression levels of circRNAs in cerebrospinal fluid samples of healthy participants and AD patients were measured by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The diagnosed value of differential expressed circRNAs was analyzed with the Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Pathways related to circ_0001535 were found using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and Metascape. The direct interactions between circ_0001535 and E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) or E2F1 and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) were verified using Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) and flow cytometry were used to identify the function of circ_0001535/E2F1/DHFR axis on the proliferation and apoptosis of AD cells. RESULTS In total, 12 circRNAs have been linked to AD diagnosis. The expression levels of 7 circRNAs differed between AD patients and control groups. Circ_0001535 had the most diagnose value among these circRNAs. Hence, circ_0001535 was regarded as a key circRNA in the present study. E2F1/DHFR axis was predicted to be regulated by circ_0001535. In addition, IP assays experiment results showed that E2F1 could bind to the promoter region of DHFR and be regulated by circ_0001535. In vitro results showed that circ_0001535 overexpression could promote DHFR expression, while E2F1 knock down could inhibit DHFR expression in SH-SY5Y cells. Finally, rescue experiments suggested that circ_0001535 could reduce Aβ25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cell proliferation and facilitate apoptosis through E2F1/DHFR axis. CONCLUSIONS Our research in AD circRNA can offer important information regarding the role of specific circRNAs in the AD environment and point to specific future areas of therapeutic intervention in AD.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence now demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are closely related to the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Through GEO2R online analysis, we screened hsa_circ_0000009 (circ_0000009) from the GEO database (GSE158695), and its expression in LUAD cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by RT-qPCR. The looping structure of circ_0000009 was tested by RNase R and actinomycin D experiments. The changes of proliferation were tested by CCK-8 or EdU assay. And the changes of apoptosis in A549 and H1299 cells were measured via flow cytometry. The A549 BALB/c tumor model was established to evaluate the influence of circ_0000009 on LUAD cell growth in vivo. In addition, experiments connected with ceRNA direction (mainly including bioinformatics prediction and luciferase reporter assay) and RNA Binding Protein (RBP) direction (mainly including RNA pull-down assay, RIP assay and mRNA stability assay) were further developed to reveal the regulatory mechanism of circ_0000009. The gene and protein levels in this project were assessed by RT-qPCR and western blotting analysis, respectively. The data manifested that circ_0000009 was in low expression in LUAD. The in vitro and in vivo experiments threw light on that overexpression of circ_0000009 dramatically suppressing LUAD tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, circ_0000009 promoted the expression of PDZD2 by sponging miR-154-3p. Furthermore, circ_0000009 stabilized PDZD2 by recruiting IGF2BP2. This study illustrated the mechanism that overexpressing of circ_0000009 suppressed LUAD progression by upregulating PDZD2 expression, providing an original treatment direction for LUAD.

Abstract
This study investigated the characteristics of refractive status, visual acuity, and retinal morphology in children with a history of receiving intravitreal ranibizumab for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Children 4-6 years of age were enrolled and divided into the following four groups: group 1, children with a history of ROP who had been treated with intravitreal ranibizumab; group 2, children with a history of ROP who had not received any treatment; group 3, premature children without ROP; and group 4, full-term children. Refractive status, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and macular thickness were measured. A total of 204 children were enrolled. In group 1, myopic shift was not noted, but poorer best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and shorter axial length were observed. Significantly lower peripapillary RNFL thickness in the average total and superior quadrant, higher central subfield thickness, lower parafoveal retinal thickness in average total, superior, and nasal and temporal quadrants were observed in group 1 than in the other groups. The poor BCVA in patients with ROP was correlated with the lower RNFL thickness in the superior quadrant. Conclusion: Children with a history of type 1 ROP treated with ranibizumab did not show a myopic shift but did show abnormal retinal morphology and the poorest BCVA among all groups. We suggest that pediatric ophthalmologists should always pay attention to visual development in patients with ROP with a history of intravitreal ranibizumab. What is Known: • Anti-VEGF is efficiently and widely used in the treatment of type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and different anti-VEGF agents are associated with different prevalence of myopia. • Patients with ROP who receive treatment such as laser therapy or cryotherapy have abnormal macular development and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. What is New: • Children with a history of ROP treated with intravitreal ranibizumab did not show a myopic shift but did show poor BCVA at 4-6 years of age. • Abnormal macular morphology and lower peripapillary RNFL thickness were found in these children.

Abstract
Pyrite FeS2 now emerges as a promising anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its low cost and high theoretical capacity. However, the significant volume expansion, low electrical conductivity, and the ambiguous mechanism related to potassium storage severely hinder its development for PIBs anodes. Herein, FeS2 nanostructures are skillfully dispersed on the graphene surface layer by layer (FeS2@C-rGO) to form a sandwich structure by using Fe-based metal organic framework (Fe-MOF) as precursors. The unique structural design can improve the transfer kinetics of K+ and effectively buffer the volume expansion during cycling, thereby enhancing the potassium storage performance. As a result, the FeS2@C-rGO delivers a high capacity of 550 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g. At a high rate of 2 A/g, the capacity can maintain 171 mAh/g even after 500 cycles. Moreover, the electrochemical reaction mechanism and potassium storage behavior are revealed by in-situ X-ray diffractionand density functional theory calculations. This work not only provides a novel insight into the structural design of electrode materials for high-performance PIBs, but also proposes a valuable understanding of the potassium storage mechanism of the FeS2-based anode.

Abstract
Selective electro-oxidation of aliphatic alcohols into value-added carboxylates at lower potentials than that of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an environmentally and economically desirable anode reaction for clean energy storage and conversion technologies. However, it is challenging to achieve both high selectivity and high activity of the catalysts for the electro-oxidation of alcohols, such as the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Herein, a monolithic CuS@CuO/copper-foam electrode for the MOR with superior catalytic activity and almost 100% selectivity for formate is reported. In the core-shell CuS@CuO nanosheet arrays, the surface CuO directly catalyzes MOR, while the subsurface sulfide not only serves as an inhibitor to attenuate the oxidative power of the surface CuO to achieve selective oxidation of methanol to formate and prevent over-oxidation of formate to CO2 but also serves as an activator to form more surface O defects as active sites and enhances the methanol adsorption and charge transfer to achieve superior catalytic activity. CuS@CuO/copper-foam electrodes can be prepared on a large scale by electro-oxidation of copper-foam at ambient conditions and can be readily utilized in clean energy technologies.

Abstract
In this investigation, non-spontaneous combustion coal gangue was activated by two methods: (1) low-temperature calcination and (2) calcium addition. Differences in the activity of the activated coal gangue were studied at various calcination temperatures and amounts of calcium addition. Meanwhile, the cementation activity of the activated coal gangue was evaluated according to the activity effect analysis. Furthermore, the influences of the activated coal gangue on the cementation activity of cement were investigated. The results indicated that the activities of the activated coal gangue increased at a temperature between 500 °C and 700 °C. The calcium addition method can also increase the activity of coal gangue, with the effect being better when the gangue is mixed with slag. The addition of calcium and the calcination of coal gangue can promote the production of active minerals such as metakaolin, which is the main reason for the increased cementation activity.

Abstract
The effects of an electron shuttle (dissolved black carbon (DBC) derived from biochar) on the microbial reduction of ferrihydrite and subsequent imidacloprid (IMI) degradation were studied. The results showed that DBC addition enhanced the microbial reduction of Fe(III) in ferrihydrite and increased the quantity of Fe(II) released into the liquid phase. The electron transfer capacity of DBC was significantly influenced by the content of redox-active oxygen-containing functional groups (e.g., quinone, hydroquinone, and polyphenol groups), which was dependent on the pyrolysis temperature. The electrochemical characteristics of DBC resulted in enhanced electron transfer, which promoted Fe(III) reduction and mediated the microbial transformation of ferrihydrite. The microbial transformation of ferrihydrite resulted in the formation of secondary minerals such as siderite and vivianite. The IMI degradation efficiency was related to the Fe(III) reduction rate and the pyrolysis temperature used in DBC production, and the degradation pathways were nitrate reduction and imino hydrolysis induced by the Fe(II) generated from the reduction of Fe(III) in ferrihydrite. The results obtained in this study provide new data for understanding the multifunctional roles of biochar-derived DBC in the redox and transformation processes of iron minerals induced by iron-reducing bacteria, the related biogeochemical cycles of iron and the fate of pollutants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the prevalence and predictors of retinal breaks reopening after vitrectomy with air tamponade in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Shanghai General Hospital. Chart review was performed among 1715 patients with primary RRD who received pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with air tamponade as initial management. Patients were followed up for recurrence. The clinical features of the eyes with retinal breaks reopening were recorded. Logistic regression was constructed to investigate the predictors for breaks reopening. RESULTS A total of 137 (7.99%) patients had recurrent retinal detachment after PPV with air tamponade. The causes of surgery failure included new or missed retinal breaks (48.9%), reopening of original tears (43.8%) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (7.3%). The median time to recurrence for the patients with breaks reopening was 18.0 days. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that the presence of retinal break(s) ≥ 1.5 disc diameters (DD) (odds ratio [OR]: 2.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 11.04-6.92, P = 0.041), and shorter period for restricted activities (OR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.89-0.99, P = 0.020) were the independent predictors for breaks reopening. CONCLUSIONS Breaks reopening is an important cause for retinal redetachment after PPV with air tamponade in primary RRD. The first 2-4 weeks after surgery is the "risk period" for breaks reopening. Special attention should be paid for patients with retinal break(s) ≥ 1.5 DD. A prolonged period for restricted activities is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6) is reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, but its role in diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains unknown. The aim of our study was to determine the role and mechanism of TRPC6 in DR. METHODS High glucose was used to construct a DR cell model using rat retinal Müller cells (rMC-1). Intracellular Ca2+, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell pyroptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. Protein levels of NLRP3, pro-caspase-1, active caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), GSDMD-N, TRPC6 and H3K27ac were detected by Western blot. mRNA levels of EP300 and TRPC6 were analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The interaction between EP300 and TRPC6 was validated by a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS The knockdown of TRPC6 reduced inflammation and cell pyroptosis in HG induced rMC-1 cells, whereas overexpression of TRPC6 had the opposite effects. The inhibition of ROS and NLRP3 reversed TRPC6-mediated cell pyroptosis in the DR cell model. In addition, EP300 increased the expression of H3K27ac and TRPC6 to promote cell pyroptosis, which was suppressed by the knockdown of TRPC6. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed a novel EP300/H3K27ac/TRPC6 signaling pathway that may contribute to HG induced Müller cell pyroptosis. TRPC6 played a novel role in Müller cell pyroptosis triggered by HG, and may be a potential target for DR treatment in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of cine magnetic resonance urography (cine MRU) as a novel postoperative examination after upper urinary tract reconstruction surgery. METHODS Ninety-six patients underwent cine MRU for postoperative evaluation between August 2015 and August 2020. The morphological observations included regular peristalsis, anastomosis, urine flow signals, and reflux. The quantitative evaluations included luminal diameter, peristaltic amplitude, contraction ratio, peristaltic waves, and ureteric jets. The surgical outcomes were classified as success, gray area, or failure by combining the results of cine MRU, symptoms, and the degree of hydronephrosis. RESULTS There was no obvious stenosis of the anastomosis in 83 patients (86.46%). Regular peristalsis of the ureter and signals of urination was observed in 85 (88.54%) and 84 patients (87.50%), respectively. In addition, three patients (3.13%) showed urine reflux. The patients in both the success group and the gray area group showed significantly different creatinine levels (success 86.2 ± 22.3 μmol/L vs. failure 110.7 ± 8.2 μmol/L, P = 0.016; gray area 81.0 ± 20.0 μmol/L vs. failure 110.7 ± 8.2 μmol/L, P = 0.009) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (success: 88.5 ± 23.1 mL/min·1.73 m2, failure: 61.6 ± 14.1 mL/min·1.73 m2, P = 0.014; gray area: 94.7 ± 24.6 mL/min·1.73 m2, failure: 61.6 ± 14.1 mL/min·1.73 m2, P = 0.007) compared to those in the failure group. The ipsilateral split renal function was 33.6 ± 15.0, 24.5 ± 13.4, and 20.1 ± 0.4 mL/min in the success, gray area, and failure groups, respectively (P = 0.354). CONCLUSION Cine MRU demonstrates the morphology and function of the reconstructed upper urinary tract. The results of cine MRU can be used to evaluate the surgical effect, providing guidance for further treatment.

Abstract
Oxysophoridine (OSR) is an alkaloid extracted from Sophora alopecuroides L. and exerts beneficial effects in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the regulatory effects of OSR in cerebral I/R injury remains unclear. In the present study, a cerebral I/R injury rat model was established by occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery. Hematoxylin and eosin and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining were performed to assess histopathological changes and the extent of cerebral injury to the brain. A Cell Counting Kit‑8 and TUNEL assay and western blotting were performed to assess cell viability and apoptosis. Ferroptosis and oxidative stress were evaluated based on ATP and Fe2+ levels and DCFH‑DA staining. The protein expression levels of inflammatory factors were assessed using ELISA. The protein expression levels of members of the toll‑like receptor (TLR)4/p38MAPK signaling pathway were evaluated using immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. The results demonstrated that OSR decreased brain injury and neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus in I/R‑induced rats. OSR inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, decreased levels of ATP, Fe2+ and acyl‑CoA synthetase long‑chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and transferrin 1 protein and increased the protein expression levels of ferritin 1 and glutathione peroxidase 4. Furthermore, OSR blocked TLR4/p38MAPK signaling in brain tissue in the I/R‑induced rat. In vitro experiments demonstrated that TLR4 overexpression induced generation of ROS, ATP and Fe2+, which promoted the expression of ferroptosis‑associated proteins in hippocampal HT22 neuronal cells. The ferroptosis inducer erastin decreased the effects of OSR on oxygen‑glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)‑induced cell viability, oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Together, the results demonstrated that OSR alleviated cerebral I/R injury via inhibition of TLR4/p38MAPK‑mediated ferroptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the feasibility and accuracy of fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE) for the prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) by inexperienced and experienced operators. METHOD In this prospective study, all volume data sets from 120 fetuses with a broad spectrum of CHD were acquired using spatiotemporal image correlation technology. The prenatal diagnostic procedures were performed by two operators with different experience (beginner: 1 year and expert: 15 years) using FINE and traditional fetal echocardiography. Data were analyzed on the time of examination and acquisition of results. RESULTS Diagnoses made by FINE and traditional echocardiography were completely consistent with the final diagnosis of CHD in 98 (81.66%) versus 20 (16.66%) (P < 0.001) beginners and 87.50% (n = 105) versus 101 (84.16%) experts, respectively. On the contrary, there was significant difference using traditional echocardiography (16.66% versus 84.16%, P < 0.001) by two examiners. Furthermore, the examination time decreased when using FINE compared with using traditional echocardiography (beginner operators: 4.54 ± 1.03 min versus 20.58 ± 3.36 min, P < 0.001; expert operators: 3.89 ± 0.96 min versus 12.73 ± 1.62 min, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Based on our results, a prenatal diagnosis of CHD can be made with high feasibility and accuracy using FINE compared with traditional fetal echocardiography for beginner operators.

Abstract
Body mass index (BMI) and gut microbiota show significant interaction, but most studies on the relationship between BMI and gut microbiota have been done in Western countries. Relationships that are also identified in other cultural backgrounds are likely to have functional importance. Hence here we explore gut microbiota in adults living in Xining city (China P.R.) and relate results to subject BMI. Analysis of bacterial 16s rRNA gene was performed on faecal samples from participants with normal-weight (n=24), overweight (n=24), obesity (n=11) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) (n=8). The results show that unweighted but not weighted Unifrac distance was significantly different when gut microbiota composition was compared between the groups. Importantly, the genus Streptococcus was remarkably decreased in both obese subjects and subjects suffering from T2D, as compared to normal-weight subjects. Accordingly, strong association was identified between the genus Streptococcus and BMI and especially Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophiles was a major contributor in this respect. As previous studies have shown that Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophiles is also negatively associated with obesity in Western cohorts, our results suggest that this species is a potential probiotic for the prevention of obesity and related disorders.

Abstract
Objective The objective of the study was to explore the CT and ultrasound features and clinical significance of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) of the liver. Methods Eleven hepatic PEComa patients treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed based on the characteristics of the imaging results of the patients, including conventional ultrasound, CDFI, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Results CT scans showed that all lesions were hypodense. Ultrasonography showed that lesions were either hyperechoic (4/11, 36.36%), hypoechoic (4/11, 36.36%), isoechoic (1/11, 9.09%), or heterogeneously echoic (2/11, 18.18%). CDFI showed that most of the lesions had an abundant blood supply (9/11, 81.82%). Whether on CT scan or ultrasonography, the margins of the lesions were dominated by clear margins. Ultrasonography revealed more features: hyperechoic patterns around lesions (3/11, 27.27%) and lateral shadow (5/11, 45.45%). The CDFI showed that large blood vessels were observed around the lesions (9/11, 81.82%). CECT shows two enhancement patterns: “fast in and fast out (FIFO)” (8/11, 72.72%) and “fast in and slow out (FISO)” (3/11, 27.27%). CEUS shows that all lesions had the enhancement pattern of “FISO,” which was different from CECT. All lesions displayed rapid enhancement during HAP in CEUS during 7–20 s. Four patients (36.36%) washed out at 60–180 s, another four (36.36%) washed out at 180–300 s, and the remaining three patients (27.27%) showed no signs of washout even at 360 s. Conclusion Some imaging features, such as clear margins, peripheral hyperechoic around the lesion, lateral shadow, the large blood vessels around lesions, and the “FISO” enhancement pattern, may indicate expansive growth of the tumor and be helpful in the diagnosis of PEComa. Ultrasound images may provide more details for clinical reference.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of low-molecular-weight aliphatic alcohols like methanol and ethanol into carboxylates in acid/base hybrid electrolytic cells offers reduced process operating costs for the generation of fuels and value-added chemicals, which is environmentally and economically more desirable than their full oxidation to CO2. Herein, we report the in-situ fabrication of oxygen-vacancies-rich CuO nanosheets on a copper foam (CF) via a simple ultrasonication-assisted acid-etching method. The CuO/CF monolith electrode enables efficient and selective electrooxidation of ethanol and methanol into value-added acetate and formate with ~100% selectivity. First principles calculations reveal that oxygen vacancies in CuO nanosheets efficiently regulate the surface chemistry and electronic structure, provide abundant active sites, and enhance charge transfer that facilitates the adsorption of reactant molecules on the catalyst surface. The as-prepared CuO/CF monolith electrode shows excellent stability for alcohol oxidation at current densities >200 mA·cm2 for 24 h. Moreover, the abundant oxygen vacancies significantly enhance the intrinsic indicators of the catalyst in terms of specific activity and outstanding turnover frequencies of 5.8k s-1 and 6k s-1 for acetate and formate normalized by their respective faradaic efficiencies at an applied potential of 1.82 V vs. RHE.

Abstract
Bone sialoprotein (gene: Ibsp; protein: BSP) is a multifunctional extracellular matrix protein present in bone, cementum, and dentin. Accumulating evidence supports BSP as a key regulator of mineralized tissue formation via evolutionarily conserved functional domains, including a C-terminal integrin-binding Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) domain implicated in extracellular matrix-cell signaling. Ablation of Ibsp in mice (Ibsp-/-) results in impaired bone growth and mineralization and defective osteoclastogenesis, with effects in the craniofacial region including reduced acellular cementum formation, detachment of the periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone hypomineralization, and severe periodontal breakdown. We hypothesized that BSP-RGD plays an important role in cementum and alveolar bone formation and mineralization, as well as periodontal function. This hypothesis was tested by replacing the RGD motif with a nonfunctional Lys-Ala-Glu (KAE) sequence in (IbspKAE/KAE) mice and OCCM.30 murine (IbspKAE) cementoblasts. The RGD domain was not critical for acellular or cellular cementum formation in IbspKAE/KAE mice. However, PDL volume and thickness were increased, and significantly more tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts were found on alveolar bone surfaces of IbspKAE/KAE mice versus wild type mice. PDL organization was disrupted as indicated by picrosirius red stain, second harmonic generation imaging, dynamic mechanical analysis, and decreased asporin proteoglycan localization. In vitro studies implicated RGD functions in cell migration, adhesion, and mineralization, and this was confirmed by an ossicle implant model where cells lacking BSP-RGD showed substantial defects as compared with controls. In total, the BSP-RGD domain is implicated in periodontal development, though the scale and scope of changes indicated by in vitro studies indicate that other factors may partially compensate for and reduce the phenotypic severity of mice lacking BSP-RGD in vivo.
