Abstract
Cucumber blight is a destructive disease. The best way to control this disease is resistance breeding. This study focuses on disease resistance gene mapping and molecular marker development. We used the resistant cucumber, JSH, and susceptible cucumber, B80, as parents to construct F2 populations. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) combined with specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) were used, from which we developed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPs) markers to map the resistance gene. Resistance in F2 individuals showed a segregation ratio of resistance:susceptibility close to 3:1. The gene in JSH resistant cucumber was mapped to an interval of 9.25 kb, and sequencing results for the three genes in the mapped region revealed three mutations at base sites 225, 302, and 591 in the coding region of Csa5G139130 between JSH and B80, but no mutations in coding regions of Csa5G139140 and Csa5G139150. The mutations caused changes in amino acids 75 and 101 of the protein encoded by Csa5G139130, suggesting that Csa5G139130 is the most likely resistance candidate gene. We developed a molecular marker, CAPs-4, as a closely linked marker for the cucumber blight resistance gene. This is the first report on mapping of a cucumber blight resistance gene and will provideg a useful marker for molecular breeding of cucumber resistance to Phytophthora blight.

Abstract
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a well-accepted probiotic, with many benefits for both humans and animals. The ability of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) to develop into several intestinal epithelial cell types helps accelerate intestinal epithelial regeneration. Limited knowledge exists on how bacteria regulated ISCs proliferation and regeneration. Our study investigated the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens supplementation on ISC proliferation and regeneration and intestinal mucosal barrier functions in piglets exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Eighteen piglets (male, 21 days old) were randomly split into 3 clusters: CON cluster, LPS cluster, and SC06+LPS cluster. On day 21, 100 μg/kg body weight of LPS was intraperitoneally administered to the SC06+LPS and LPS groups. We found SC06 supplementation maintained the intestinal barrier integrity, enhanced intestinal antioxidant capacity, reduced generation of inflammatory response, and suppressed enterocyte apoptosis against the deleterious effects triggered by LPS. In addition, our research indicated that the SC06 supplementation not only improved the ISC regeneration, but also resulted in upregulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in LPS-challenge piglets. Further studies showed that SC06 also induced ISC differentiation toward goblet cells and inhibited their differentiation to intestinal absorptive cells and enterocytes. The coculture system of SC06 and ileum organoids revealed that SC06 increased the growth of ISCs and repaired LPS-induced organoid damage through activating the AhR/STAT3 signaling pathway. These findings showed that SC06, possibly through the AhR/STAT3 pathway, accelerated ISC proliferation and promoted epithelial barrier healing, providing a potential clinical treatment for IBD. Our research demonstrated that SC06 is effective in preventing intestinal epithelial damage after pathological injury, restoring intestinal homeostasis, and maintaining intestinal epithelial regeneration.

Abstract
The methodology of sugaring out-assisted liquid-liquid extraction (SULLE) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection was devised for quantifying bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol B (BPB) in beeswax. The effectiveness of SULLE was methodically explored and proved superior to the salting out-assisted liquid-liquid extraction approach for beeswax sample preparation. The analytical performance underwent comprehensive validation, revealing detection limits of 10 μg/kg for BPA and 20 μg/kg for BPB. The method developed was employed to analyse commercial beeswax (n = 15), beeswax foundation (n = 15) and wild-build comb wax (n = 26) samples. The analysis revealed BPA presence in four commercial beeswax samples and three beeswax foundation samples, with the highest detected residue content being 88 ± 7 μg/kg. For BPB, two beeswax foundation samples were positive, with concentrations below the limits of quantification and 85 ± 4 μg/kg, respectively. No bisphenols were detected in wild-build comb wax. Furthermore, the bisphenol removal efficacy of two recycling methods-boiling in water and methanol extraction-was assessed. The findings indicated that after four recycling cycles using water boiling, 9.6% of BPA and 29.2% of BPB remained in the beeswax. Whereas methanol extraction resulted in approximately 7% residual after one recycling process. A long-term study over 210 days revealed the slow degradation of bisphenols in comb beeswax. This degradation fitted well with a first-order model, indicating half-lives (DT50) of 139 days for BPA and 151 days for BPB, respectively. This research provides the first report on bisphenol contamination in beeswax. The low removal rate during the recycling process and the gradual degradation in beeswax underscore the significance of bisphenol contamination and migration in bee hives along with their potential risk to pollinators warranting concern. Furthermore, the developed SULLE method shows promise in preparing beeswax samples to analyse other analytes.

Abstract
Narrowband emissive multiple resonance (MR) emitters promise high efficiency and stability in deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the construction of ideal ultra-narrow-band deep-blue MR emitters still faces formidable challenges, especially in balancing bathochromic-shift emission, spectral narrowing, and aggregation suppression. Here, DICz is chosen, which possesses the smallest full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) in MR structures, as the core and solved the above issue by tuning its peripheral substitution sites. The 1-substituted molecule Cz-DICz is able to show a bright deep-blue emission with a peak at 457 nm, an extremely small FWHM of 14 nm, and a CIE coordinate of (0.14, 0.08) in solution. The corresponding OLEDs exhibit high maximum external quantum efficiencies of 22.1%-25.6% and identical small FWHMs of 18 nm over the practical mass-production concentration range (1-4 wt.%). To the best of the knowledge, 14 and 18 nm are currently the smallest FWHM values for deep-blue MR emitters with similar emission maxima under photoluminescence and electroluminescence conditions, respectively. These discoveries will help drive the development of high-performance narrowband deep-blue emitters and bring about a revolution in OLED industry.

Abstract
Vaccination has significantly reduced the incidence of invasive infections caused by several bacterial pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Neisseria meningitidis. However, no vaccines are available for many other invasive pathogens. A major hurdle in vaccine development is the lack of functional markers to quantify vaccine immunity in eliminating pathogens during the process of infection. Based on our recent discovery of the liver as the major organ of vaccine-induced clearance of blood-borne virulent bacteria, we here describe a new vaccine evaluation system that quantitatively characterizes the key features of effective vaccines in shuffling virulent bacteria from the blood circulation to the liver resident macrophage Kupffer cells (KCs) and sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) in mouse septic infection model. This system consists of three related correlates or assays: pathogen clearance from the bloodstream, pathogen trapping in the liver, and pathogen capture by KCs/LSECs. These readouts were consistently associated with the serotype-specific immunoprotection levels of the 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PCV13) against lethal infection of S. pneumoniae, a major invasive Gram-positive pathogen of community-acquired infections in humans. Furthermore, the reliability and sensitivity of these correlates in reflecting vaccine efficacy were verified with whole cell vaccines of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, two major Gram-negative pathogens in hospital-acquired invasive infections. This system may be used as effective readouts to evaluate the immunoprotective potential of vaccine candidates in the preclinical phase by filling the current technical gap in vaccine evaluation between the conventional in vitro approaches (e.g. antibody production and pathogen neutralization/opsonophagocytosis) and survival of immunized animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Necroptosis, a novel type of programmed cell death, is intricately associated with inflammatory response. Currently, most studies focus on the activation of necroptosis, while the mechanisms underlying the negative regulation of necroptosis remain poorly understood. METHODS The effects of sestrin2 (SESN2) overexpression or knockdown on the regulation of necroptosis were assessed in the TNFα/Smac-mimetic/Z-VAD-FMK (T/S/Z)-induced necroptosis model and palmitic acid (PA)-induced lipotoxicity model. Western-blot, co-Immunoprecipitation, Glutathione S-transferase pull-down, and confocal assays were employed to explore the regulatory mechanisms including protein-protein interactions and post-translational modification. Furthermore, we used GSK'872, a specific inhibitor of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK) 3, to evaluate the relationship between SESN2-related alterations and RIPK3-mediated necroptosis in T/S/Z-induced necroptosis model, PA-induced lipotoxicity model, and high-fat high-cholesterol diet (HFHCD)-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis model. RESULTS Our findings revealed that SESN2 was upregulated under conditions that induce necroptosis and functioned as a negative regulator of necroptosis. High levels of SESN2 could equipped hepatocytes with the ability to defend against necroptotic inflammation and oxidative stress. Mechanistically, SESN2 interacted with RIPK3 and tuned down necroptosis by inhibiting the phosphorylation of RIPK3, promoting the ubiquitination of RIPK3, and preventing the formation of the RIPK1/RIPK3 necrosome. The depletion of SESN2 resulted in excessive necroptosis, accompanied by increased fat accumulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress in the experimental steatohepatitis model. Blocking necroptosis by GSK'872 reduced the liberation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species generation, but not hepatocyte fat deposition, in both PA-treated SESN2 knockout cells and HFHCD-fed SESN2 knockout mice, suggesting that the activation of RIPK3-mediated necroptosis may partially account for the hyperinflammation and excessive oxidative stress induced by SESN2 deficiency. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that SESN2 inhibited RIPK3-mediated necroptosis; this regulation is an important for the immune homeostasis and the redox balance in the liver.

Abstract
Periodontitis has been emphasized as a risk factor of insulin resistance-related systemic diseases. Accumulating evidence has suggested a possible "oral-gut axis" linking oral infection and extraoral diseases, but it remains unclear whether periodontal pathogens can survive the barriers of the digestive tract and how they play their pathogenic roles. The present study established a periodontitis mouse model through oral ligature plus Porphyromonas gingivalis inoculation and demonstrated that periodontitis aggravated diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance, while also causing P. gingivalis enrichment in the intestine. Metabolic labeling strategy validated that P. gingivalis could translocate to the gastrointestinal tract in a viable state. Oral administration of living P. gingivalis elicited insulin resistance, while administration of pasteurized P. gingivalis had no such effect. Combination analysis of metagenome sequencing and nontargeted metabolomics suggested that the tryptophan metabolism pathway, specifically indole and its derivatives, was involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance caused by oral administration of living P. gingivalis. Moreover, liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands, mainly indole acetic acid, tryptamine, and indole-3-aldehyde, were reduced in diet-induced obese mice with periodontitis, leading to inactivation of AhR signaling. Supplementation with Ficz (6-formylindolo (3,2-b) carbazole), an AhR agonist, alleviated periodontitis-associated insulin resistance, in which the restoration of gut barrier function might play an important role. Collectively, these findings reveal that the oral-gut translocation of viable P. gingivalis works as a fuel linking periodontitis and insulin resistance, in which reduction of AhR ligands and inactivation of AhR signaling are involved. This study provides novel insight into the role of the oral-gut axis in the pathogenesis of periodontitis-associated comorbidities.

Abstract
A widely applied pesticide of azoxystrobin, is increasingly detected in the water environment. Concern has been raised against its potential detriment to aquatic ecosystems. It has been shown that exposure to azoxystrobin interfere with the locomotor behavior of zebrafish larvae. This study aims to investigate whether exposure to environmental levels of azoxystrobin (2 μg/L, 20 μg/L, and 200 μg/L) changes the behavior of male adult zebrafish. Herein, we evaluated behavioral response (locomotor, anxiety-like, and exploratory behaviors), histopathology, biochemical indicators, and gene expression in male adult zebrafish upon azoxystrobin exposure. The study showed that exposure to azoxystrobin for 42 days remarkably increased the locomotor ability of male zebrafish, resulted in anxiety-like behavior, and inhibited exploratory behavior. After treatment with 200 μg/L azoxystrobin, vasodilatation, and congestion were observed in male zebrafish brains. Exposure to 200 μg/L azoxystrobin notably elevated ROS level, MDA concentration, CAT activity, and AChE activity, while inhibiting SOD activity, GPx activity, ACh concentration, and DA concentration in male zebrafish brains. Moreover, the expression levels of genes related to the antioxidant, cholinergic, and dopaminergic systems were significantly changed. This suggests that azoxystrobin may interfere with the homeostasis of neurotransmitters by causing oxidative stress in male zebrafish brains, thus affecting the behavioral response of male zebrafish.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Vaccination has substantially reduced the morbidity and mortality of bacterial diseases, but mechanisms of vaccine-elicited pathogen clearance remain largely undefined. We report that vaccine-elicited immunity against invasive bacteria mainly operates in the liver. In contrast to the current paradigm that migrating phagocytes execute vaccine-elicited immunity against blood-borne pathogens, we found that invasive bacteria are captured and killed in the liver of vaccinated host via various immune mechanisms that depend on the protective potency of the vaccine. Vaccines with relatively lower degrees of protection only activated liver-resident macrophage Kupffer cells (KCs) by inducing pathogen-binding immunoglobulin M (IgM) or low amounts of IgG. IgG-coated pathogens were directly captured by KCs via multiple IgG receptors FcγRs, whereas IgM-opsonized bacteria were indirectly bound to KCs via complement receptors of immunoglobulin superfamily (CRIg) and complement receptor 3 (CR3) after complement C3 activation at the bacterial surface. Conversely, the more potent vaccines engaged both KCs and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells by inducing higher titers of functional IgG antibodies. Endothelial cells (ECs) captured densely IgG-opsonized pathogens by the low-affinity IgG receptor FcγRIIB in a "zipper-like" manner and achieved bacterial killing predominantly in the extracellular milieu via an undefined mechanism. KC- and endothelial cell-based capture of antibody-opsonized bacteria also occurred in FcγR-humanized mice. These vaccine protection mechanisms in the liver not only provide a comprehensive explanation for vaccine-/antibody-boosted immunity against invasive bacteria but also may serve as in vivo functional readouts of vaccine efficacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether the quality of skeletal muscle mass could predict short-term readmission in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). METHOD Patients with HE were enrolled from 2018 to 2022. Sarcopenia and myosteatosis were defined using the L3 skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle density (SMD) obtained from CT imaging. MELD-Sarcopenia score was calculated. Multivariable analysis and multiple linear regression were applied to identify predictors of 30-day readmission and length of hospitalization. RESULTS 123 patients with HE were included. 55 (44.7%) and 87 (70.7%) patients were identified with sarcopenia and myosteatosis, respectively. Patients with sarcopenia exhibited a higher prevalence of myosteatosis, lower SMI and SMD (p < 0.05). Patients with myosteatosis were older, had a lower body mass index, a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and MELD-sarcopenia scores (p < 0.05). 10 (8.1%) patients were readmitted within 30 days. The readmitted group had a higher MELD-sarcopenia score (25.0 ± 6.6 vs. 19.5 ± 7.8, p = 0.034) and lower L3 SMD (28.3 ± 5.9 vs. 33.8 ± 6.9, p = 0.015). In the multivariable analysis, MELD-sarcopenia score (95% CI 1.388 [1.074-1.793], p = 0.012) and SMD (95% CI 0.778 [0.610-0.991], p = 0.042) were found to be significantly associated with the 30-day readmission of patients with HE. Age (p = 0.028), alcohol liver disease (p = 0.025), and hypertension (p = 0.003) were associated with the length of hospitalization for patients with HE. CONCLUSIONS The MELD-sarcopenia score and SMD were identified as predictive factors for short-term readmission in patients diagnosed as HE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in adolescent and adult population. However, the epidemiologic data of MAFLD in prepubertal children remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and incidence of MAFLD and assess the role of anthropometric parameters in identifying and predicting MAFLD in this population. METHODS Children from the Shanghai Birth Cohort Study who underwent an 8-year follow-up with anthropometric measurements and transient elastography FibroScan-502 examination (M probe, Echosens, Paris, France) were enrolled. Some of them also completed a 5-year follow-up. Diagnosis of fatty liver disease (FLD) was based on the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) value exceeding 248 dB/m, and MAFLD was defined as FLD combined with obesity or central obesity. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of anthropometric parameters for MAFLD. RESULTS A total of 848 children (431 boys) from the Shanghai Birth Cohort Study were followed up for 8 years, and among them, 385 children (189 boys) also participated in the 5-year follow-up. The prevalence of FLD and MAFLD at 5 years old was 3.90% and 0.52%, respectively, while at 8 years old, the prevalence rates increased to 5.07% for FLD and 3.42% for MAFLD. The 8-year-old children with MAFLD exhibited significantly higher weight, body mass index (BMI), chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, and liver stiffness measurement compared to those without MAFLD (all p < 0.05). The incidence rates of FLD and MAFLD at 8 years old, considering the 5-year follow-up data, were 3.78% (14/370) and 3.13% (12/383), respectively. Obese or centrally obese children at 5 years old had a higher incidence of FLD and MAFLD at the 8-year follow-up. Waist circumference and BMI showed significant associations with the presence and incidence of MAFLD, respectively, with the largest AUC values in ROC curve analysis. In addition, chest circumference was significantly associated with MAFLD in obese children. CONCLUSION This study provides insights into the incidence and prevalence of MAFLD in prepubertal children. It underscores the importance of anthropometric parameters in identifying and predicting MAFLD in this population. Further research encompassing a broader age range and incorporating these indicators and additional metabolic markers is necessary to enhance the understanding and management of MAFLD in children.

Abstract
BANKGROUND The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an internal environment composed of various cells and an extracellular matrix. Cancer stem cell-derived exosomes (CSC-Exos), as essential messengers involved in various tumor processes, are important carriers for bidirectional communication between the tumor microenvironment and tumor cells and play an important role in the tumor microenvironment. Nevertheless, few bibliometric analyses have been systematically studied in this field. METHODS Therefore, we aimed to visualize the research hotspots and trends in this field through bibliometrics to comprehend the future evolution of fundamental and clinical research, as well as to offer insightful information and fresh viewpoints. The Scopus database was used to search the research literature related to exosomes and tumor microenvironments after the establishment of this repository. CiteSpace (version 5.8.R3) and VOSviewer (version 1.6.16) were used for visualization and analysis. RESULTS In this study, a total of 2077 articles and reviews were included, with the number of articles on exosomes and tumor microenvironments significantly increasing yearly. Recent trends showed that the potential value of exosomes as "tumor diagnostics" and "the application prospect of exosomes as therapeutic agents and drug delivery carriers" will receive more attention in the future. CONCLUSIONS We revealed the current status and hotspots of tumor stem cell-derived exosomes and tumor microenvironments globally through bibliometrics. The prospect of the regulatory role of CSC-Exos in TME, the potential value of diagnosis, and the application of drug delivery vectors will all remain cutting-edge research areas in the field of tumor therapy. Meanwhile, this study provided a functional literature analysis for related researchers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that HBV pregenome RNA (HBV pgRNA) could predict HBeAg seroconversion among the chronic hapatitis B (CHB) patients treated with pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) or nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). However, the data about the prediction of HBV pgRNA for spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion is limited. METHODS One hundred thirteen CHB patients with HBeAg-positive in the immune active phase were followed up for 76 weeks without antiviral treatment. Based on the laboratory test results of liver function, HBeAg, anti-HBe, and HBV DNA at week 76, patients were assigned to two groups: spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion (group A, n = 18) and non-spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion group. Among the latter group, 36 patients were selected as controls (group B, n = 36). RESULTS At week 12, between group A and group B, there was a significant difference in the level of HBV pgRNA (group A 6.35 ± 1.24 log10 copies/ml and group B 7.52 ± 0.79 log10 copies/ml, P = 0.001), and the difference enlarged at week 28. The receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) of the HBV pgRNA level and the ∆HBV pgRNA at week 28 were 0.912 (P = 0.001, 95% CI: 0.830-0.994), and 0.934 (P = 0.001, 95% CI: 0.872-0.996), respectively. The optimal cutoffs of HBV pgRNA and the reduction from baseline (∆HBV pgRNA) at week 28 for spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion prediction were 5.63 log10 copies/ml and 1.85 log10 copies/ml, respectively. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value of HBV pgRNA and ∆HBV pgRNA at week 28 were 86.7% and 87.2%, 87.5% and 89.5%, respectively. And the combination of the HBV pgRNA level and the HBV pgRNA decreased could provide better prediction. CONCLUSIONS HBV pgRNA is a sound predictor for spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion among the CHB patients in immune active phase. Dynamic monitoring of HBV pgRNA is helpful for clinical treatment decision.

Abstract
Background The emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in HIV-positive people poses a significant challenge to international efforts to eradicate tuberculosis (TB). Many studies found conflicting results when examining the correlation between HIV and MDR-TB. The purpose of the present investigation was to comprehensively review the literature on the association between HIV infection and MDR-TB in order to evaluate the impact of HIV on MDR-TB worldwide. Methods Utilizing the databases PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, studies published between January 2000 and March 2023 that are eligible for meta-analysis were selected. Using the random-effects model, the aggregated odds ratio of the empirical relationship between HIV and MDR-TB was calculated, along with a confidence interval ranging from 0 to 95 %. Examining the asymmetry of the funnel plot and utilizing Egger's and Begg's test, the possibility of publication bias was investigated. The extent of heterogeneity was determined using the I2 statistics. Results Through a database search, we identified 1214 studies, from which we ultimately selected 15 studies involving 9667 patients. The odds ratio of 2.78 (95 % confidence interval: 1.07-7.20) between HIV/AIDS and MDR-TB indicates a significant positive correlation. Tau 2 = 3.46, chi 2 = 1440.46, df = 14, I2 = 99.0 %, z = 2.10, and p 0.05 indicate that there is substantial heterogeneity among pooled studies. Since I2 is 99 % (>50 %), a random effect model was employed. The percentage of multidrug-resistant HIV-positive patients across all included studies follows a normal distribution, as shown by a Box and whisker plot with a symmetric skewness and a mesokurtic tail and a scatter plot with a significant R2 value below 1 [R2 = 0.2476] showed the positive correlation between multidrug resistance and HIV infection. Conclusion HIV infection increases MDR-TB risk, and the preceding pooled analysis showed an increased risk trend. Thus, MDR-TB, especially in HIV-positive patients, requires early case detection, quality-assured bacteriology diagnosis, and an effective infection control program.

Abstract
Cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a unique bacterial second messenger but is hijacked by host cells during bacterial infection as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) to trigger STING-dependent immune responses. Here, we show that upon infection, VopY, an effector of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, is injected into host cells by type III secretion system 2 (T3SS2), a secretion system unique to its pathogenic strains and indispensable for enterotoxicity. VopY is an EAL-domain-containing phosphodiesterase and is capable of hydrolyzing c-di-GMP. VopY expression in host cells prevents the activation of STING and STING-dependent downstream signaling triggered by c-di-GMP and, consequently, suppresses type I interferon immune responses. The presence of VopY in V. parahaemolyticus enables it to cause both T3SS2-dependent enterotoxicity and cytotoxicity. These findings uncover the destruction of self-derived PAMPs by injecting specific effectors to suppress PAMP-triggered immune responses as a unique strategy for bacterial pathogens to subvert immunity and cause disease.

Abstract
Although emerging evidence has established the roles of miRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the global functional implication of miRNAs in this malignancy remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we aim to systematically identify novel miRNAs involved in HCC and clarify the function and mechanism of specific novel candidate miRNA(s) in this malignancy. Through an integrative omics approach, we identified ten HCC-associated functional modules and a collection of candidate miRNAs. Among them, we demonstrated that miR-424-3p, exhibiting strong associations with extracellular matrix (ECM), promotes HCC cells migration and invasion in vitro and facilitates HCC metastasis in vivo. We further demonstrated that SRF is a direct functional target of miR-424-3p, and is required for the oncogenic activity of miR-424-3p. Finally, we found that miR-424-3p reduces the interferon pathway by attenuating the transactivation of SRF on STAT1/2 and IRF9 genes, which in turn enhances the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-mediated ECM remodeling. This study provides comprehensive functional relevance of miRNAs in HCC by an integrative omics analysis, and further clarifies that miR-424-3p in ECM functional module plays an oncogenic role via reducing the SRF-STAT1/2 axis in this malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pet cats frequently have diarrhea in their daily life. Bacillus has a protective role that has crucial beneficial functions on intestinal homeostasis. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of the compound Bacillus on the prevention of diarrhea, microbiota and metabolism in pet cats. A total of 20 pet cats (1-2 years old, 3.91 ± 0.92 kg) were randomly divided into two groups and fed with a basal diet (Control group), or a basal diet supplemented with 3 × 109 CFU/kg compound Bacillus (Probiotics group). The experiment lasted 33 days. RESULTS Results showed that the compound Bacillus significantly reduced the rate of soft stools and diarrhea in pet cats compared with the control group (P < 0.05, n = 10). Meanwhile, compared with the control group, the probiotics group significantly decreased the content of IL-1β and IL-6 and significantly increased IL-10 (P < 0.05, n = 6) in the serum. In addition, feeding probiotics significantly increased the abundance of p_Patescibacter and g_Plectosphaerella, decreased the abundance of p_Firmicutes, p_Gemmatimonadetes, g_Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005, g_Ascochytahe and g_Saccharomyces in the feces of the pet cats (P < 0.05, n = 6). And it also can significantly increase the content of total SCFAs, acetic acid and butyric acid in the feces (P < 0.05, n = 6). The fecal and serum metabolomics analyses revealed that most fecal and serum compounds were involved in metabolism, particularly in chemical structure transformation maps and amino acid metabolism. Also, eugenitol and methyl sulfate were the most significantly increased serum metabolites, and log2FC were 38.73 and 37.12, respectively. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that changes in serum metabolism and fecal microbiota were closely related to immune factors. There was also a strong correlation between serum metabolites and microbiota composition. CONCLUSIONS The results of this research highlight the potential of the compound Bacillus as a dietary supplement to alleviate diarrhea in pet cats.

Abstract
The frequently repeated administration of alprazolam (Alp), a highly effective benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic agent, in anxiety, insomnia, and other diseases is closely related to many negative adverse reactions that are mainly manifested as memory impairment. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying these events are poorly understood. Therefore, we conducted a proteomic analysis on the hippocampus in mice that received repeated administration of Alp for 24 days. A total of 439 significantly differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in mice with repeated administration of Alp compared to the control group, and the GO and KEGG analysis revealed the enrichment of terms related to mitochondrial function, cycle, mitophagy and cognition. In vitro experiments have shown that Alp may affect the cell cycle, reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) to induce apoptosis in HT22 cells, and affect the progress of mitochondrial energy metabolism and morphology in the hippocampal neurons. Furthermore, in vivo behavioral experiments including IntelliCage System (ICS) and nover object recognition (NOR), hippocampal neuronal pathological changes with HE staining, and the expression levels of brain-deprived neuron factor (BDNF) with immunohistochemistry showed a significant decrease in memory consolidation in mice with repeated administration of Alp, which could be rescued by the co-administration of the mitochondrial protector NSI-189. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to identify a link between repeated administration of Alp and mitochondrial dysfunction and that mitochondrial impairment directly causes the attenuation of memory consolidation in mice.

Abstract
1. Fusarium tritici widely exists in a variety of grain feeds. The T-2 toxin is the main hazardous component produced by Fusarium tritici, making a serious hazard to poultry industry. Morin, belonging to the flavonoid family, can be extracted from mulberry plants and possesses anticancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, but whether morin protects chicks with T-2 toxin poisoning remains unclear. This experiment firstly established a chick model of T-2 toxin poisoning and then investigated the protective effects and mechanism of morin against T-2 toxin in chicks.2. The function of liver and kidney was measured by corresponding alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre) and uric acid (UA) kits. Histopathological changes were observed by haematoxylin-eosin staining. The status of oxidative stress was measured by MDA, SOD, CAT, GSH and GSH-PX kits. The mRNA levels of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-11 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Heterophil extracellular trap (HET) release was analysed by immunofluorescence and fluorescence microplate.3. The model with T-2 toxin poisoning in chicks was successfully established. Morin significantly decreased T-2 toxin-induced ALT, AST, ALP, BUN, Cre and UA, and improved T-2 toxin-induced liver cell rupture, liver cord disorder and kidney interstitial oedema. Oxidative stress analysis showed that morin ameliorated T-2 toxin-induced damage by reducing malondialdehyde (MDA), increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX). The qRT-PCR analysis showed that morin reduced T-2 toxin-induced mRNA expressions of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-11. Moreover, morin significantly reduced the release of T-2 toxin-induced HET in vitro and in vivo.4. Morin can protect chicks from T-2 toxin poisoning by decreasing HETs, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, which make it a useful compound against T-2 toxin poisoning in poultry feed.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the safety and effectiveness of thin struct bare stents for the treatment of spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SIDSMA). Methods: The data of 32 patients admitted to First Hospital of Jiaxing (20 cases) and Jinling Hospital (12 cases) with SIDSMA from January 2016 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 27 males and 5 females, aging (54.8±9.4) years (range: 36 to 75 years). All patients were treated with thin struct bare stents. Controllable spring coils were used to fulfill the false lumen in 2 cases. Symptoms, vascular remodeling pattern at the SIDSMA lesion, and patency of the stents were observed during follow-up. Results: The surgical success rate was 100%. According to the length of the lesions and stents, the number of stents implanted was 1 in 17 cases, 2 in 11 cases and 3 in 4 cases. The angiography showed that blood flow in the stent was smooth and that the false lumen disappeared or weakened. The numerical rating scale for abdominal pain decreased from 6.1±1.5 (range: 4 to 10) preoperatively to 1.0 (1.0) (range: 0 to 3) 1 hour postoperatively (W=528, P<0.01). The compression rate of the true lumen of the superior mesenteric artery decreased from (92.3±6.7)% (range: 25% to 94%) preoperatively to 0.8 (1.2)% (range: 0 to 3.2%) 1 month postoperatively (W=528, P<0.01). The primary patency rate of CT angiography at 1 month postoperatively was 100%. The vascular remodeling rate was (92.3±6.7)% (range: 80% to 100%). All patients were followed for (46.3±17.0) months (range: 24 to 76 months). The cumulative patency rates in 1, 2 and 5 years were all 100%. Conclusion: The use of thin struct bare stents for SIDSMA is safety and efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alternative splicing complexity plays a vital role in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. Improved understanding of novel splicing events and the underlying regulatory mechanisms may contribute new insights into developing new therapeutic strategies for colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Here, we combined long-read sequencing technology with short-read RNA-seq methods to investigate the transcriptome complexity in CRC. By using experiment assays, we explored the function of newly identified splicing isoform TIMP1 Δ4-5. Moreover, a CRISPR/dCasRx-based strategy to induce the TIMP1 exon 4-5 exclusion was introduced to inhibit neoplasm growth. RESULTS A total of 90,703 transcripts were identified, of which > 62% were novel compared with current transcriptome annotations. These novel transcripts were more likely to be sample specific, expressed at relatively lower levels with more exons, and oncogenes displayed a characteristic to generate more transcripts in CRC. Clinical outcome data analysis showed that 1472 differentially expressed alternative splicing events (DEAS) were tightly associated with CRC patients' prognosis, and many novel isoforms were likely to be important determinants for patient survival. Among these, newly identified splicing isoform TIMP1 Δ4-5 was significantly downregulated in CRC. Further in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that ectopic expression of TIMP1 Δ4-5 significantly suppresses tumor cell growth and metastasis. Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) acts as a onco-splicing regulator through sustaining the inclusion of TIMP1 exon 4-5. Furthermore, CRISPR/dCasRx-based strategies designed to induce TIMP1 exon 4-5 exclusion have the potential to restrain the CRC growth. CONCLUSIONS This data provides a rich resource for deeper studies of gastrointestinal malignancies. Newly identified splicing isoform TIMP1 Δ4-5 plays an important role in mediating CRC progression and may be a potential therapy target in CRC.

Abstract
Pre-administration of huperzine A (Hup A) was validated to prevent poisoning from exposure to nerve agents (NAs) by reversibly inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). However, like the currently commonly used reversible inhibitors, Hup A has a short half-life and is unable to produce a long-term preventative effect. To extend the protective time of Hup A against NAs, 42 derivatives with a CN bond were designed based on the structure of Hup A in this study. All designed derivatives showed good binding capability with AChE via molecular docking. Six compounds (H3, H4, H11, H14, H16, and H25) with representative structures were selected for synthesis by Schiff base reaction, and their structures were stable. The modified Ellman's method showed the six compounds concentration-dependently inhibited AChE, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) were higher than that of Hup A. Pretreatment of AChE with the derivatives significantly increased the IC50 of soman. In vivo experiments demonstrated H3, H4, H14, H16, and H25 had longer protective capacities against 1 × LD95 soman-induced death in mice than Hup A. The 12 h protective index showed that the protective ratios of H3, H4, H14 and H16 were 2.31, 1.85, 2.23 and 1.99 respectively, better than that of Hup A. The extended protection of the derivatives against soman may be explained by their transformation to Hup A in vivo. Furthermore, all six compounds showed lower acute oral toxicity than Hup A. Overall, our study provided an optional strategy to acquire pretreatment agents for NAs with extended action and low toxicity.

Abstract
Matrine is an active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine that has been shown to be effective in treating bone disorders. The anti-osteoarthritis (OA) effects of matrine were assessed using both in in vitro and in vivo systems, and the mechanisms underlying the effects were investigated by focusing on the activity of miR-29b-3p/PGRN axis. The miR was chosen as potential target for matrine after chondrocytes were treated with both IL-1? and matrine. Changes in cell viability, cell apoptosis, inflammation, and miR-29b-3p/PGRN axis were detected. In vitro assays results were validated using collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat models. Incubation with IL-1? reduced cell viability, induced cell apoptosis, and inhibited production of cytokines in chondrocytes, which was associated with the up-regulation of miR-29b-3p and down-regulation of PGRN. In CIA rats, matrine reduced bone destruction and weight loss in a dose-dependent manner. Matrine also reduced the systemic levels of cytokines. At the molecular level, matrine inhibited the expression of miR-29b-3p while increasing the expression of PGRN. The findings outlined in the current study showed that matrine exerted its anti-OA effects by modulating the miR-29b-3p/PGRN axis.

Abstract
Although many carriers for the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs have been investigated, the disadvantages of passive targeting and uncontrolled drug release limit their utility. Herein, hyaluronic acid (HA) was hydrophobically modified to serve as a carrier for binding to cluster determinant 44 (CD44) overexpressed on tumor cell surfaces. Specifically, after deacetylation, HA was grafted to dodecylamine or tetradecylamine to afford amphiphilic zwitterionic polymer micelles, designated dHAD and dHAT, respectively, for the delivery of paclitaxel (PTX). The micelles were negatively charged at pH 7.4 and positively charged at pH 5.6, and this pH sensitivity facilitated PTX release under acidic conditions. The cell uptake efficiencies of the dHAD-PTX and dHAT-PTX micelles by MCF-7 cells after 4 h of incubation were 96.9% and 95.4%, respectively, and their affinities for CD44 were twice that of HA. Furthermore, the micelles markedly inhibited tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, with IC50 values of 1.943 μg/mL for dHAD-PTX and 1.874 μg/mL for dHAT-PTX for MCF-7 cells; the tumor inhibition rate of dHAD-PTX (92.96%) was higher than that of dHAT-PTX (78.65%). Importantly, dHAD and dHAT micelles showed negligible systemic toxicity. Our findings suggest that these micelles are promising delivery vehicles for antitumor drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involves a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Previous observational studies have revealed that higher leptin levels are related to a lower risk of developing NAFLD, but the causative association remains unknown. We intended to study the causal effect between leptin and NAFLD using the Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) analysis using summary GWAS data from leptin (up to 50,321 individuals) and NAFLD (8,434 cases and 770,180 controls) in a European population. Instrumental variables (IVs) that satisfied the three core assumptions of Mendelian randomization were selected. The TSMR analysis was conducted using the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, MR-Egger regression method, and weighted median (WM) method. To ensure the accuracy and stability of the study results, heterogeneity tests, multiple validity tests, and sensitivity analyses were conducted. RESULTS The findings of the TSMR correlation analysis between NAFLD and leptin were as follows: IVW method (odds ratio (OR) 0.6729; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.4907-0.9235; P = 0.0142), WM method (OR 0.6549; 95% CI 0.4373-0.9806; P = 0.0399), and MR-Egger regression method (P = 0.6920). Additionally, the findings of the TSMR correlation analysis between NAFLD and circulating leptin levels adjusted for body mass index (BMI) were as follows: IVW method (OR 0.5876; 95% CI 0.3781-0.9134; P = 0.0181), WM method (OR 0.6074; 95% CI 0.4231-0.8721; P = 0.0069), and MR-Egger regression method (P = 0.8870). It has also been shown that higher levels of leptin are causally linked to a lower risk of developing NAFLD, suggesting that leptin may serve as a protective factor for NAFLD. CONCLUSIONS Using TSMR analysis and the GWAS database, we investigated the genetic relationship between elevated leptin levels and lowered risk of NAFLD in this study. However, further research is required to understand the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Introduction Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a significant complication of cirrhosis, known to be associated with hospital readmission. However, few new serological indicators associated with readmission in HE patients have been identified and reported. The objective of our study was to identify simple and effective predictors reated to readmission in HE patients. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective study at a single center on adult patients admitted with HE from January 2018 to December 2022. The primary endpoint was the first liver-related readmission within 30, 90, and 180 days, and we collected electronic medical records from our hospital for sociodemographic, clinical, and hospitalization characteristics. We utilized logistic regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis to determine the predictors that were associated with the readmission rate and the length of the first hospitalization. Results A total of 424 patients were included in the study, among whom 24 (5.7%), 63 (14.8%), and 92 (21.7%) were readmitted within 30, 90, and 180 days, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that insurance status, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), ascites, the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly associated with 30-, 90-, and 180-day readmissions. Age and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were predictors of 90- and 180-day readmissions. ALD was identified as a unique predictor of readmission in men, while hypertension was a predictor of 180-day readmission in women. Variceal bleeding, chronic kidney disease, and MELD score were associated with the length of the first hospitalization. Conclusions NLR at discharge was identified as a significant predictor of 30-, 90- and 180-day readmissions in patients with HE. Our findings suggest that incorporating NLR into routine clinical assessments could improve the evaluation of the prognosis of liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Novel nereistoxin derivatives containing phosphonate were synthesized and characterized via 31P, 1H and 13C NMR and HRMS. The anticholinesterase activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated on human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) using the in vitro Ellman method. Most of the compounds exhibited good inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. All of these compounds were selected to assess their insecticidal activity (in vivo) against Mythimna separata Walker, Myzus persicae Sulzer and Rhopalosiphum padi. Most of the tested compounds displayed potent insecticidal activity against these three species. Compound 7f displayed good activity against all three insect species, showing LC50 values of 136.86 μg/mL for M. separata, 138.37 μg/mL for M. persicae and 131.64 μg/mL for R. padi. Compound 7b had the highest activity against M. persicae and R. padi, with LC50 values of 42.93 μg/mL and 58.19 μg/mL, respectively. Docking studies were performed to speculate the possible binding sites of the compounds and explain the reasons for the activity of the compounds. The results showed that the compounds had lower binding energies with AChE than with the acetylcholine receptor (AchR), suggesting that compounds are more easily bound with AChE.

Abstract
Hypermucoviscosity is a hallmark of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP). However, the molecular basis of its regulation is largely unknown. We hypothesize that hypermucoviscosity is modulated via two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs). In-frame deletion mutants of all 33 response regulators of hvKP ATCC43816 were generated using CRISPR/CAS and evaluated for their impacts on hypermucoviscosity. The response regulator OmpR is required for hypermucoviscosity in vitro and virulence in vivo in a mouse pneumonia model. The ΔompR mutant lost its mucoidy but retained its capsule level and comparable rmpADC expression, so transcriptomic analysis by RNA-Seq was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ΔompR mutant. The top 20 Gene Ontology terms of 273 DEGs belong to purine ribonucleotide triphosphate biosynthetic and metabolic process, transmembrane transport, and amino acid metabolism. Among the overexpressed genes in the ΔompR mutant, the atp operon encoding F-type ATP synthase and the gcvTHP encoding glycine cleavage system were characterized further as overexpression of either operon reduced the mucoviscosity and increased the production of ATP. Furthermore, OmpR directly bound the promoter region of the atp operon, not the gcvTHP, suggesting that OmpR regulates the expression of the atp operon directly and gcvTHP indirectly. Hence, the loss of OmpR led to the overexpression of F-type ATP synthase and glycine cleavage system, which altered the energetic status of ΔompR cells and contributed to the subsequent reduction in the mucoviscosity. Our study has uncovered a previously unknown regulation of bacterial metabolism by OmpR and its influence on hypermucoviscosity. IMPORTANCE Hypermucoviscosity is a critical virulent factor for Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, and its regulation remains poorly understood at the molecular level. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by investigating the role of response regulators in mediating hypermucoviscosity in K. pneumoniae. We screened 33 response regulators and found that OmpR is essential for hypermucoviscosity and virulence of K. pneumoniae in a mouse pneumonia model. Transcriptomic analysis uncovered that genes involved in energy production and metabolism are highly upregulated in the ΔompR mutant, suggesting a potential link between bacterial energy status and hypermucoviscosity. Overexpression of those genes increased production of ATP and reduced mucoviscosity, recapitulating the ΔompR mutant phenotype. Our findings provide new insights into the regulation of K. pneumoniae hypermucoviscosity by a two-component signal transduction system, highlighting the previously unknown role of OmpR in regulating bacterial energy status and its influence on hypermucoviscosity.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the possible risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional method was used to carry out this study. Patients who underwent partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer completed overnight polygraphy (PG) home sleep tests and quality of life questionnaires. The Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire was used to investigate the factors influencing HRQoL. Results: A total of 59 patients completed the PG tests and quality of life questionnaires, with 74.6% demonstrating evidence of OSA. There were significant differences in tumor area and neck dissection between OSA group and non-OSA groups. Based on sleep-related parameters, patients were divided into cluster 1 (n = 14) and cluster 2 (n = 45) using principal component analysis combined with K-means clustering. Two clusters had significantly different scores of body pain, general health, and health transition in SF-36 domains. Independent factors associated with general health were identified as tobacco use (OR = 4.716), alcohol use (OR = 3.193), and OSA-related condition (OR = 11.336). Conclusions: Larger tumor area and neck dissection might be associated with an increased risk for developing OSA in patients with partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer. OSA partially mediated the effect on physical health, including body pain, general health, and health transition. It is important to be aware of the potential impact of OSA on diminished HRQoL of these patients.

Abstract
The JiGuCao capsule formula (JCF) has demonstrated promising curative effects in treating chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in clinical trials. Here, we aimed to investigate JCF's function and mechanism in diseases related to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). We used mass spectrometry (MS) to identify the active metabolites of JCF and established the HBV replication mouse model by hydrodynamically injecting HBV replication plasmids into the mice's tail vein. Liposomes were used to transfect the plasmids into the cells. The CCK-8 kit identified cell viability. We detected the levels of HBV s antigen (HBsAg) and HBV e antigen (HBeAg) by the quantitative determination kits. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the genes' expression. The key pathways and key genes related to JCF on CHB treatment were obtained by network pharmacological analysis. Our results showed that JCF accelerated the elimination of HBsAg in mice. JCF and its medicated serum inhibited HBV replication and proliferation of HBV-replicating hepatoma cells in vitro. And the key targets of JCF in treating CHB were CASP3, CXCL8, EGFR, HSPA8, IL6, MDM2, MMP9, NR3C1, PTGS2, and VEGFA. Furthermore, these key targets were related to pathways in cancer, hepatitis B, microRNAs in cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling, and proteoglycans in cancer pathways. Finally, Cholic Acid, Deoxycholic Acid, and 3', 4', 7-Trihydroxyflavone were the main active metabolites of JCF that we obtained. JCF employed its active metabolites to perform an anti-HBV effect and prevent the development of HBV-related diseases.

Abstract
Light is recognized as an accurate and noninvasive tool for stimulating excitable cells. Here, we report on a non-genetic approach based on organic molecular phototransducers that allows wiring- and electrode-free tissue modulation. As a proof of concept, we show photostimulation of an in vitro cardiac microphysiological model mediated by an amphiphilic azobenzene compound that preferentially dwells in the cell membrane. Exploiting this optical based stimulation technology could be a disruptive approach for highly resolved cardiac tissue stimulation.

Abstract
Azoxystrobin, a strobilurin widely used to control rice diseases, has raised concerns about possible adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. At present, very little is known about the effects of azoxystrobin on courtship and aggressive behavior and the potential underlying mechanisms. In the present study, after exposing adult male and female zebrafish to worst-case scenario concentrations of azoxystrobin (0, 2 μg/L, 20 μg/L, and 200 μg/L) for 42 d, we observed a decrease in courtship behavior and an increase in aggressive behavior in both male and female zebrafish. In addition, to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the behavioral effects of azoxystrobin, we quantified the changes in the concentrations of kisspeptin, 5-HT, GnIH, and their corresponding receptor mRNA expression in the brain. The results showed that 200 μg/L azoxystrobin decreased the concentrations of kisspeptin and increased the concentration of GnIH in both male and female zebrafish brain. In addition, azoxystrobin also significantly reduced 5-HT concentration in female zebrafish brain. Further investigation revealed that altered courtship and aggressive behavior were associated with the expression levels of genes (kiss1, kiss2, gnrh3, gnrhr3, 5ht1a, and 5ht2a) involved in kisspeptin-GnIH signaling pathway. In conclusion, our study suggested that azoxystrobin may impair courtship and aggressive behavior in zebrafish by interfering with the kisspeptin-GnIH signaling pathway, which may have more profound effects on natural zebrafish populations.

Abstract
(+) and (-)-Eugenilones A-K, 11 pairs of undescribed enantiomeric sesquiterpenoids, together with three undescribed biogenetically related members eugenilones L-N, were discovered from the fruits of Eugenia uniflora Linn. (Myrtaceae). Structurally, eugenilones A-D were four caged sesquiterpenoids featuring 9,10-dioxatricyclo [6.2.2.02,7]dodecane, 11-oxatricyclo [5.3.1.03,8]undecane, and tricyclo [4.4.0.02,8]decane cores, respectively. Eugenilones E-K were eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids, while eugenilones L-N were epoxy germacrane-type sesquiterpenoids. Notably, eugenilones A-K were efficiently resolved by chiral HPLC to give 11 pairs of optically pure enantiomers. The structures and absolute configurations of eugenilones A-N were determined through spectroscopic analyses, X-ray crystallography, and ECD calculations. The putative biosynthetic pathways for these undescribed isolates were proposed. Moreover, eugenilones A and E exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting LPS-stimulated NO overproduction in RAW264.7 cells (IC50 values of 4.89 ± 0.37 μM and 20.89 ± 1.49 μM, respectively) and TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation in HEK293 cells (IC50 values of 10.97 ± 1.03 μM and 28.63 ± 1.59 μM, respectively).

Abstract
Sarin is a potent organophosphorus nerve agent that causes cognitive dysfunction, but its underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, a rat model of repeated low-level sarin exposure was established using the subcutaneous injection of 0.4 × LD50 for 21 consecutive days. Sarin-exposed rats showed persistent learning and memory impairment and reduced hippocampal dendritic spine density. A whole-transcriptome analysis was applied to study the mechanism of sarin-induced cognitive impairment, and a total of 1035 differentially expressed mRNA (DEmRNA), including 44 DEmiRNA, 305 DElncRNA, and 412 DEcircRNA, were found in the hippocampus of sarin-treated rats. According to Gene Ontology (GO) annotation, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment, and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) analysis, these DERNAs were mainly involved in neuronal synaptic plasticity and were related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. The circRNA/lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network was constructed, in which Circ_Fmn1, miR-741-3p, miR-764-3p, miR-871-3p, KIF1A, PTPN11, SYN1, and MT-CO3 formed one circuit, and Circ_Cacna1c, miR-10b-5p, miR-18a-5p, CACNA1C, PRKCD, and RASGRP1 constituted another circuit. The balance between the two circuits was crucial for maintaining synaptic plasticity and may be the regulatory mechanism by which sarin causes cognitive impairment. Our study reveals the ceRNA regulation mechanism of sarin exposure for the first time and provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of other organophosphorus toxicants.

Abstract
Nanoplastic (NP) pollution is a global issue because of its widespread occurrence and potential toxicity. Many studies have investigated the impacts of the short-term toxicity of NPs on organisms. Until now, only a few studies have assessed the toxicological effects of prolonged exposure to NPs at low concentrations in fish. In this study, the effects of NPs (nano-polystyrene microspheres, diameter: 100 nm) on immune and oxidative stress response, histopathology, and survival in medaka were evaluated. The effects of different concentrations (0, 10, 104, and 106 particles/L) of nanoplastics were studied in medaka Oryzias latipes after 3 months of exposure. Lysozyme enzyme activity, oxidative stress-related biomarkers (i.e., superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase), and malondialdehyde levels were decreased under NP exposure. The gonadal histology showed that high NP exposure (106 particles/L) inhibited the process of spermatogenesis and oogenesis processes, implying delayed maturation of the gonad. Furthermore, the IBR and PCA analysis revealed the potential biotoxicity of NPs and the total survival rate of medaka was significantly reduced due to the long-term exposure to NPs. Overall, prolonged exposure to low concentrations of NPs is harmful to the health of medaka gonads. In the long run, this may threaten the fish reproduction and population, suggesting the need for long-term toxicological studies to predict the aquatic animal health in nature.

Abstract
This work aimed to assess whether mitochondrial damage in the liver induced by subacute soman exposure is caused by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α) and whether PGC-1α regulates mitochondrial respiratory chain damage. Toxicity mechanism research may provide theoretical support for developing anti-toxic drugs in the future. First, a soman animal model was established in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by subcutaneous soman injection. Then, liver damage was biochemically evaluated, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was also determined. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed to examine liver mitochondrial damage, and high-resolution respirometry was carried out for assessing mitochondrial respiration function. In addition, complex I-IV levels were quantitatively evaluated in isolated liver mitochondria by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). PGC-1α levels were detected with a Jess capillary-based immunoassay device. Finally, oxidative stress was analyzed by quantifying superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Repeated low-level soman exposure did not alter AChE activity, while increasing morphological damage of liver mitochondria and liver enzyme levels in rat homogenates. Complex I, II and I + II activities were 2.33, 4.95, and 5.22 times lower after treatment compared with the control group, respectively. Among complexes I-IV, I-III decreased significantly (p < 0.05), and PGC-1α levels were 1.82 times lower after soman exposure than in the control group. Subacute soman exposure significantly increased mitochondrial ROS production, which may cause oxidate stress. These findings indicated dysregulated mitochondrial energy metabolism involves PGC-1α protein expression imbalance, revealing non-cholinergic mechanisms for soman toxicity.

Abstract
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver disease associated with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and metabolic syndrome. The risk factors for NAFLD have not been identified. Metabolic dysfunction has been found to be an important factor in the pathogenesis and progression of NAFLD. However, the causal impact of blood metabolites on NAFLD is unclear.Methods: We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 7824 participants provided data on 486 human blood metabolites. Outcome information was obtained from a large-scale GWAS meta-analysis of NAFLD, which contained 8,434 cases and 770,180 controls of Europeans. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) model was chosen as the primary two-sample MR analysis approach, followed by sensitivity analyses such as the heterogeneity test, horizontal pleiotropy test, and leave-one-out analysis. In addition, we performed replication, meta-analysis, and metabolic pathway analysis. We further conducted colocalization analysis to deeply reflect the causality.Results: After rigorous genetic variant selection, IVW, sensitivity analysis, replication, and meta-analysis, two known metabolites were identified as being associated with the development of NAFLD [biliverdin: OR = 1.45; 95% CI 1.20-1.75; p = 0.0001; myristoleate: OR = 0.57; 95% CI 0.39-0.83; p = 0.0030].Conclusion: By combining genomics with metabolomics, our findings provide a new perspective on the underlying mechanisms of NAFLD and have important implications for the screening and prevention of NAFLD.

Abstract
The widespread use of wood preservatives, such as chromated copper arsenate (CCA), alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ), and copper azole (CA), may cause environmental pollution problems. Comparative studies on the effect of CCA-, ACQ-, and CA-treated wood on soil contamination are rarely reported, and the behavior of soil metal(loid) speciation affected by preservatives has been poorly understood. Soils under the CCA-, ACQ-, and CA-treated boardwalks were collected to investigate metal(loid) distribution and speciation at the Jiuzhaigou World Natural Heritage site. The results showed that the maximum mean concentrations of Cr, As, and Cu were found in soils under the CCA, CCA, and CCA plus CA treatments and reached 133.60, 314.90, and 266.35 mg/kg, respectively. The Cr, As, and Cu contamination in soils within a depth of above 10 cm was high for all types of boardwalks and limited in the horizontal direction, not exceeding 0.5 m. Cr, As, and Cu in soils were mainly present as residual fractions in all profiles and increased with depth. The proportion of non-residual As in soil profiles under CCA- and CCA plus CA-treatment and exchangeable Cu in CA- and CCA plus CA-treatment were significantly higher than those in the profiles under the other preservative treatments. The distribution and migration of Cr, As, and Cu within soils were influenced by the preservative treatment of trestles, in-service time of trestles, soil properties (e.g., organic matter content), geological disasters (e.g., debris flow), and elemental geochemical behavior. With the CCA treatment for trestles successively replaced by ACQ and CA treatments, the types of contaminants were reduced from a complex of Cr, As, and Cu to a single type of Cu, achieving a reduction in total metal content, toxicity, mobility, and biological effectiveness, thus reducing environmental risks.

Abstract
As the new coronavirus pandemic enters its third year, its long-term impact on the urban environment cannot be ignored, especially in megacities with more than millions of people. Here, we analyzed the changes in the concentration levels, emission sources, temporal variations and holiday effects of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and its chemical components in the pre- and post-epidemic eras based on high-resolution, long time-series datasets of PM2.5 and its chemical components in Chengdu. In the post-epidemic era, the PM2.5 concentration in Chengdu decreased by 7.4%, with the components of PM2.5 decreasing to varying degrees. The positive matrix factorization (PMF) results indicated that the emissions from soil dust and industrial production were significantly lower during the COVID-19 lockdown period and post-epidemic era than those in the pre-epidemic era. In contrast, the contribution of secondary aerosols to PM2.5 during these two periods increased by 2.7% and 6.6%, respectively. Notably, we found that PM2.5 and its components substantially decreased on workdays and holidays in the post-epidemic era due to the reduced traffic volume and outdoor activities. This provides direct evidence that changes in the habitual behavior patterns of urban residents in the post-epidemic era could exert an evident positive impact on the urban environment. However, the higher PM2.5 concentration was observed due to the increased consumption of regular (As4S4, Xionghuang in Chinese) and "sulfur incense" during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in the post-epidemic era. Finally, we examined the potential effects of sporadic COVID-19 outbreaks on the PM2.5 concentration in Chengdu, and there was no decrease in PM2.5 during two local COVID-19 outbreak events due to the strong influence of secondary pollution processes.

Abstract
Cirrhosis is a progressive chronic liver disease caused by one or more causes and characterized by diffuse fibrosis, pseudolobules, and regenerated nodules. Once progression to hepatic decompensation, the function of the liver and other organs is impaired and almost impossible to reverse and recover, which often results in hospitalization, impaired quality of life, and high mortality. However, in the early stage of cirrhosis, there seems to be a possibility of cirrhosis reversal. The development of cirrhosis is related to the intestinal microbiota and activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) pathways, which could regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, expression of the hepatomitogen epiregulin, and liver inflammation. Targeting regulation of intestinal microbiota and TLRs pathways could affect the occurrence and development of cirrhosis and its complications. In this paper, we first reviewed the dynamic change of intestinal microbiota and TLRs during cirrhosis progression. And further discussed the interaction between them and potential therapeutic targets to reverse early staged cirrhosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of sleep disorders is more than 27% in the worldwide, and the development of novel sleep drugs that target GABAA receptors is of great interest. Traditional drug screening methods restrict the discovery of lead compounds, the high-throughput screening system is a powerful means for the lead compounds discovery of sleep drug. METHODS The GABAA1-CHO cell line stably expressing α1β2γ2L was constituted by cotransfection of α1, β2 and γ2L subunits into CHO-T-Rex cells. The high-throughput screening method of membrane potential targeting GABAAR was established and optimized. The optimized method was used to screen the compound library, and the compounds with high activity were obtained. The active compounds were confirmed in vitro by electrophysiological detection technique, and the sleep effects of compounds in vivo were detected by pentobarbital sodium sleep model in mice. RESULTS A stable cell line expressing human GABAA1 receptor in CHO-T-Rex cells was generated and used to establish a functional high-throughput screening assay based on the measurement of membrane potential changes in living cells by fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR). The assay was further used to detect the dose-effect relationships of tool compounds, the EC50 values of agonist GABA (137.42 ± 26.31 nM), positive allosteric modulator diazepam (3.22 ± 0.73 μM), and antagonist gabazine (0.16 ± 0.04 μM), blocking agents bicuculine (0.47 ± 0.06 μM) and PTX (6.39 ± 1.17 μM). In the meanwhile, the compounds were screened from a compound library (10000) by the membrane potential dye assay. Selected 4 active compounds were further identified for their EC50 values in vitro by electrophysiological method, the EC50 values of 4 compounds were further determined as 1.37 ± 0.43 μM, 0.69 ± 0.17 μM, 0.77 ± 0.16 μM, and 1.62 ± 0.29 μM. Furthermore, the pentobarbital sleep rate and the sleep time of mice pretreated with 4 active compounds by oral administration were significantly increased compared with mice pretreated with a negative control in vivo experiment. CONCLUSION We successfully generated a stable CHO cell line expressing human GABAA1 by induced expression strategy which decreased cytotoxicity. Then, developed an efficient membrane potential detection method for high-throughput screening, the assay based on the stable cell line could distinguish different types of GABAA1 modulators, which would be an effective in vitro system to screen the GABAAR-targeted compounds. Compared with the patch clamp electrophysiological detection method, the membrane potential detection method has higher detection flux for compounds and higher detection sensitivity for active compounds.

Abstract
In the present work, a high-throughput field sample preparation method was reported for the simultaneous determination of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and phenolic compounds in honey. Combining a simple and green homogenous liquid−liquid extraction, matrix-induced sugaring-out, with the use of a 96-deepwell plate and multichannel pipette, the proposed method showed its merits in instrument-free and high-throughput preparation. Due to the high-throughput property, the parameters of the method were rapidly and systematically studied using a constructed 4 × 2 × 4 × 3 array (sample amount × ratio of ACN:H2O × standing time × replicates) in a 96-deepwell plate. Analytical performance was fully validated, and the limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range of 0.17−1.35 μg/g and 0.51−4.14 μg/g, respectively. Recoveries were between 83.98 and 117.11%, and all the precisions were <5%. Furthermore, the developed method was successfully applied in the outdoor preparation of commercial honey samples and the in-field preparation of raw honey samples in apiary. The current work presented a simple, rapid, and high-throughput method for the field sample preparation of honey and provides a valuable strategy for the design of field and on-site sample preparation.

Abstract
This experiment investigated the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SC06 (BaSC06) and its combination with antimicrobial peptide (AMP) on the laying performance, egg quality, intestinal physical barrier, antioxidative status and immunity of commercial Jingbai strain laying hens. The results showed that BaSC06 significantly improved laying performance and egg quality of laying hens. However, there was a tendency to increase laying performance and decrease egg quality for the addition of AMP compared to the BaSC06 group. Also, both BaSC06 and its combination with AMP treatment increased length of microvilli and the content of tight junction protein in jejunum, and BaSC06 combination with AMP treatment is better than BaSC06 treatment alone. Compared to control, most of the serum antioxidant enzyme activities were significantly increased in the BaSC06+AMP group, the BaSC06 group only increased the activity of GSH-Px. Short-chain fatty acid analysis showed that BSC06 significantly increased the content of butyric, isobutyric and isovaleric acid in the cecum. However, the content of most of the short-chain fatty acids was even lower than that of the control group after the addition of AMP. Microbiota analysis showed that BaSC06 increased the absolute abundance of the butyrate-producing gut bacteria Ruminococaaoeae UCG-005, while the addition of AMP reduced the number of microorganisms detected and weakened the effect of BaSC06. BaSC06 acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by regulating the gut microbiota, and AMP further attenuates the immune response by reducing the number of gut microbes based on improved intestinal microbiota composition.

Abstract
Background The use of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal and genetic diseases has resulted in a significant improvement in the diagnosis of genetically caused congenital malformations, neurodevelopmental disorders, and congenital anomalies, with a high diagnostic yield in selected prenatal cases. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of CMA in the prenatal diagnosis of high-risk pregnant women. Method A total of 576 pregnancies were selected from May 2018 to October 2020 in our hospital, including amniotic fluid chromosome, karyotype analysis, and CMA detection. The study group was divided into two groups based on the indications for testing: group A has 88 patients at the age of 35 years or older, and group B patients were in high-risk pregnancies, which consisted of 33 cases of bad pregnancy history, 252 high-risk serological screenings, 70 high-risk non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), 65 cases of B-ultrasound indicated fetal development abnormalities or ultrasonic soft marker abnormalities, and 68 other cases of pregnant women or both who have genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. At last, we have an analysis of the detection rate from different testing methods. Results Based on the follow-up test, 576 high-risk pregnant women showed an amniotic fluid chromosome karyotype rate of 18.1% (104/576), and the remaining 472 of these cases suffered a CNV ratio of 14.2% (67/472). 472 women of low clinical relevance are at 4.87% (23/472), 16 people showed a clear cause ratio = 3.39% (16/472), and 28 of the 472 (5.93%) cases showed polymorphism. Conclusions In our study, CMA significantly improved the fetal detection rate and diagnosis rate in high-risk pregnant women, which proved to be a very useful method in the diagnosis of genetically caused neurodevelopmental disorders and congenital anomalies. The use of CMA in high-risk pregnant women is justified, and these women can detect an additional (3.40%, 16/472) of pathogenic microdeletions and microduplications in the cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate whether the combination of Macleaya cordata extract (MCE) and Bacillus could improve the laying performance and health of laying hens better. METHODS A total of 360 29-week-old Jingbai laying hens were randomly divided into 4 treatments: control group (basal diet), MCE group (basal diet + MCE), Probiotics Bacillus Compound (PBC) group (basal diet + compound Bacillus), MCE + PBC group (basal diet + MCE + compound Bacillus). The feeding experiment lasted for 42 d. RESULTS The results showed that the laying rate and the average daily egg mass in the MCE + PBC group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05) and better than the MCE and PBC group. Combination of MCE and Bacillus significantly increased the content of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the serum and up-regulated the expression of related hormone receptor gene (estrogen receptor-β, FSHR and luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor) in the ovary of laying hens (P < 0.05). In the MCE + PBC group, the mRNA expressions of zonula occluden-1, Occludin and mucin-2 in jejunum was increased and the intestinal epithelial barrier detected by transmission electron microscopy was enhanced compared with the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the control group, combination of MCE and Bacillus significantly increased the total antioxidant capacity and catalase activity (P < 0.05), and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of inflammation-related genes (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α) as well as apoptosis-related genes (Caspase 3, Caspase 8 and P53) (P < 0.05). The concentration of acetic acid and butyric acid in the cecum content of laying hens in the MCE + PBC group was significantly increased compared with the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Collectively, dietary supplementation of 600 μg/kg MCE and 5 × 108 CFU/kg compound Bacillus can improve laying performance by improving microbiota to enhance antioxidant capacity and intestinal barrier, regulate reproductive hormones and the concentration of cecal short-chain fatty acids of laying hens, and the combined effect of MCE and Bacillus is better than that of single supplementation.
