Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have garnered significant attention in the field of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's diseases due to their covalently closed loop structure. However, the involvement of circRNAs in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is still largely unexplored. To identify the genes differentially expressed between non-POCD (NPOCD) and POCD mice, we conducted the whole transcriptome sequencing initially in this study. According to the expression profiles, we observed that circAKT3 was associated with hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in POCD mice. Moreover, we found that circAKT3 overexpression reduced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and alleviated POCD. Subsequently, through bioinformatics analysis, our data showed that circAKT3 overexpression in vitro and in vivo elevated the abundance of miR-106a-5p significantly, resulting in a decrease of HDAC4 protein and an increase of MEF2C protein. Additionally, this effect of circAKT3 was blocked by miR-106a-5p inhibitor. Interestingly, MEF2C could activate the transcription of miR-106a-5p promoter and form a positive feedback loop. Therefore, our findings revealed more potential modulation ways between circRNA-miRNA and miRNA-mRNA, providing different directions and targets for preclinical studies of POCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is known as a hallmark of cerebral ischaemia‒reperfusion injury and it exacerbates the pathologic progression of ischaemic brain damage. Vialinin A, derived from a Chinese edible mushroom, possesses multiple pharmacological activities in cancer, Kawasaki disease, asthma and pathological scarring. Notably, vialinin A is an inhibitor of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 4 (USP4) that shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties. However, the precise effect of vialinin A in ischaemic stroke, as well as its underlying mechanisms, remains largely unexplored. PURPOSE The present research focuses on the impacts of vialinin A on oxidative stress and explores the underlying mechanisms involved while also examining its potentiality as a therapeutic candidate for ischaemic stroke. METHODS Mouse ischaemic stroke was conducted by MCAO surgery. Vialinin A was administered via lateral ventricular injection at a dose of 2 mg/kg after reperfusion. Subsequent experiments were meticulously conducted at the appropriate time points. Stroke outcomes were evaluated by TTC staining, neurological score, Nissl staining and behavioural analysis. Co-IP assays were operated to examine the protein-protein interactions. Immunoblot analysis, qRT-PCR, and luciferase reporter assays were conducted to further investigate its underlying mechanisms. RESULTS In this study, we initially showed that administration of vialinin A alleviated cerebral ischaemia‒reperfusion injury-induced neurological deficits and neuronal apoptosis. Furthermore, vialinin A, which is an antioxidant, reduced oxidative stress injury, promoted the activation of the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway and increased the protein degradation of Keap1. The substantial neuroprotective effects of vialinin A against ischaemic stroke were compromised by the overexpression of USP4. Mechanistically, vialinin A inhibited the deubiquitinating enzymatic activity of USP4, leading to enhanced ubiquitination of Keap1 and subsequently promoting its degradation. This cascade caused the activation of Nrf2-dependent antioxidant response, culminating in a reduction of neuronal apoptosis and the amelioration of neurological dysfunction following ischaemic stroke. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that inhibition of USP4 to activate Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway may represent a mechanism by which vialinin A conferred protection against cerebral ischaemia‒reperfusion injury and sheds light on its promising prospects as a therapeutic intervention for ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative evaluation of different designs of clear aligners and examine the disparities between clear aligners and fixed appliances. METHODS 3D digital models were created, consisting of a maxillary dentition without first premolars, maxilla, periodontal ligaments, attachments, micro-implant, 3D printed lingual retractor, brackets, archwire and clear aligner. The study involved the creation of five design models for clear aligner maxillary anterior internal retraction and one design model for fixed appliance maxillary anterior internal retraction, which were subsequently subjected to finite element analysis. These design models included: (1) Model C0 Control, (2) Model C1 Posterior Micro-implant, (3) Model C2 Anterior Micro-implant, (4) Model C3 Palatal Plate, (5) Model C4 Lingual Retractor, and (6) Model F0 Fixed Appliance. RESULTS In the clear aligner models, a consistent pattern of tooth movement was observed. Notably, among all tested models, the modified clear aligner Model C3 exhibited the smallest differences in sagittal displacement of the crown-root of the central incisor, vertical displacement of the central incisor, sagittal displacement of the second premolar and second molar, as well as vertical displacement of posterior teeth. However, distinct variations in tooth movement trends were observed between the clear aligner models and the fixed appliance model. Furthermore, compared to the fixed appliance model, significant increases in tooth displacement were achieved with the use of clear aligner models. CONCLUSIONS In the clear aligner models, the movement trend of the teeth remained consistent, but there were variations in the amount of tooth displacement. Overall, the Model C3 exhibited better torque control and provided greater protection for posterior anchorage teeth compared to the other four clear aligner models. On the other hand, the fixed appliance model provides superior anterior torque control and better protection of the posterior anchorage teeth compared to clear aligner models. The clear aligner approach and the fixed appliance approach still exhibit a disparity; nevertheless, this study offers a developmental direction and establishes a theoretical foundation for future non-invasive, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and efficient modalities of clear aligner treatment.

Abstract
With the aging of the population, the prevalence of osteoporosis and multimorbidity is increasing. Patients with osteoporosis often experience varying levels of emotional distress, including anxiety and depression. However, few studies have explored the patterns of multiple conditions and their impact on patients' emotional distress. Here, we conducted a network analysis to explore the patterns of multimorbidities and their impact on emotional distress in 13,359 Chinese Han patients with osteoporosis. The results showed that multimorbidity was prevalent in Chinese patients with osteoporosis and increased with age, and was more frequent in males than in females, with the most common pattern of multimorbidity being osteoporosis and essential (primary) hypertension. Finally, we found that patients' emotional distress increased with the number of multimorbidities, especially in female patients, and identified eight multimorbidities with high correlation to patients' emotional distress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer survivors are at increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease, although additional data are needed to better understand the incidence of CV events across different malignancies. This study sought to characterize the incidence of major adverse CV events [myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina (MACE), or heart failure (HF)] across multiple cancer types after cancer diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were identified from a USA-based administrative claims database who had index cancer diagnoses of breast, lung, prostate, melanoma, myeloma, kidney, colorectal, leukemia, or lymphoma between 2011 and 2019, with continuous enrollment for ≥12 months before diagnosis. Baseline CV risk factors and incidence rates of CV events post-index were identified for each cancer. Multivariable Cox hazards models assessed the cumulative incidence of MACE, accounting for baseline risk factors. RESULTS Among 839 934 patients across nine cancer types, CV risk factors were prevalent. The cumulative incidence of MACE was highest in lung cancer and myeloma, and lowest in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and melanoma. MACE cumulative incidence for lung cancer was 26% by 4 years (2.7-fold higher relative to breast cancer). The incidence of stroke was especially pronounced in lung cancer, while HF was highest in myeloma and lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS CV events were especially increased following certain cancer diagnoses, even after accounting for baseline risk factors. Understanding the variable patient characteristics and associated CV events across different cancers can help target appropriate CV risk factor modification and develop strategies to minimize adverse CV events and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract Ischemic stroke is one of the most severe neurological disorders with limited therapeutic strategies. The utilization of nanoparticle drug delivery systems is a burgeoning field and has been widely investigated. Among these, biomimetic drug delivery systems composed of biogenic membrane components and synthetic nanoparticles have been extensively highlighted in recent years. Biomimetic membrane camouflage presents an effective strategy to prolong circulation, reduce immunogenicity and enhance targeting. For one thing, biomimetic nanoparticles reserve the physical and chemical properties of intrinsic nanoparticle. For another, the biological functions of original source cells are completely inherited. Compared to conventional surface modification methods, this approach is more convenient and biocompatible. In this review, membrane-based nanoparticles derived from different donor cells were exemplified. The prospect of future biomimetic nanoparticles in ischemic stroke therapy was discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated, systemic inflammatory disorder associated with high costs. This study evaluated real-world treatment patterns and associated costs in patients in the United States with psoriasis initiating systemic oral or biologic treatments. METHODS This retrospective cohort study used IBM® (now Merative™) MarketScan® Commercial and Medicare claims (1 January 2006-31 December 2019) to evaluate patterns of switching, discontinuation, and nonswitching in two cohorts of patients initiating oral or biologic systemic therapy. Total pre-switch and post-switch costs were reported per-patient per-month (PPPM). RESULTS Each cohort was analyzed (oral, n = 11,993; biologic; n = 9753). Among the oral and biologic cohorts, 32% and 15% discontinued index and any systemic treatment within 1 year of initiation; 40% and 62% remained on index therapy; and 28% and 23% switched treatment, respectively. In the oral and biologic cohorts, total PPPM costs within 1 year of initiation for nonswitchers, patients who discontinued, and patients who switched were $2594, $1402, and $3956, respectively, and $5035, $3112, and $5833, respectively. CONCLUSION This study identified lower persistence in the oral treatment cohort, higher costs associated with switching, and a need for safe and effective oral treatment options for patients with psoriasis to delay the switch to biologic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel myeloperoxidase-activatable manganese-based (MPO-Mn) MRI probe may enable the activation state of inflammatory foci to be detected and monitored noninvasively. PURPOSE To evaluate the inflammatory response in a mouse model of acute gout using MPO as an imaging biomarker and a potential therapeutic target. STUDY TYPE Prospective. ANIMAL MODEL A total of 40 male Swiss mice with monosodium urate crystals induced acute gout. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE A 3.0 T/T1-weighted imaging with 2D fast spoiled gradient recalled echo and T2-weighted imaging with fast recovery fast spin-echo sequences. ASSESSMENT The difference in contrast-to-noise ratio between left hind limb (lesion) and right hind limb (internal reference) (ΔCNR), and normalized signal-to-noise ratio (nSNR) on the right hind limb were calculated and compared. The expression level and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) were analyzed using western blotting and spectrophotometric quantitation activity assay. MPO-positive cell infiltration and lesion volume were evaluated using immunofluorescence staining and T2-weighted images, respectively. STATISTICAL TESTS Student's t test. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS MPO-Mn resulted in a significantly higher ΔCNR than Gd-DTPA (22.54 ± 1.86 vs. 13.90 ± 2.22) but lower nSNR on the reference right hind limb (1.08 ± 0.07 vs. 1.21 ± 0.08). Compared to the nontreatment group, MPO-inhibition resulted in a significantly reduced contrast enhancement at the lesion (17.81 ± 1.58 vs. 22.96 ± 3.12), which was consistent with a remission of the inflammatory response, as evidenced by a substantial reduction of lesion volume (0.55 ± 0.16 mm3 /g vs. 1.14 ± 0.15 mm3 /g), myeloperoxidase expression level (0.98 ± 0.09 vs. 1.48 ± 0.19) and activity (0.75 ± 0.12 vs. 1.12 ± 0.07), and inflammatory cell recruitment. DATA CONCLUSION MPO-Mn MRI has potential to evaluate the activation state of inflammatory foci in the experimental model of acute gout. EVIDENCE LEVEL 1. TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 1.

Abstract
Quantifying the uncertainty of stormwater inflow is critical for improving the resilience of urban drainage systems (UDSs). However, the high computational complexity and time consumption obstruct the implementation of uncertainty-addressing methods for real-time control of UDSs. To address this issue, this study developed a machine learning-based surrogate model (MLSM) that maintains high-fidelity descriptions of drainage dynamics and meanwhile diminishes the computational complexity. With stormwater inflow and controls as inputs and system overflow as the output, MLSM is able to fast evaluate system performance, and therefore stochastic optimization becomes feasible. Thus, a real-time control strategy was built by combining MLSM with the stochastic model predictive control. This strategy used stochastic stormwater inflow scenarios as input and aimed to minimize the expected overflow under all scenarios. An ensemble of stormwater inflow scenarios was generated by assuming the forecast errors follow normal distributions. To downsize the ensemble, representative scenarios with their probabilities were selected using the simultaneous backward reduction method. The proposed control strategy was applied to a combined UDS of China. Results are as follows. (1) MLSM fit well with the original high-fidelity urban drainage model, while the computational time was reduced by 99.1%. (2) The proposed strategy consistently outperformed the classical deterministic model predictive control in both magnitude and duration dimensions of system resilience, when the consumed time compatible is with the real-time operation. It is indicated that the proposed control strategy could be used to inform the real-time operation of complex UDSs and thus enhance system resilience to uncertainty.

Abstract
Rationale: Recent studies indicate that microglial activation and the resulting inflammatory response could be potential targets of adjuvant therapy for ischemic stroke. Many studies have emphasized a well-established function of Annexin-A1 (ANXA1) in the immune system, including the regulation of microglial activation. Nevertheless, few therapeutic interventions targeting ANXA1 in microglia for ischemic stroke have been conducted. In the present study, Tat-NTS, a small peptide developed to prevent ANXA1 from entering the nucleus, was utilized. We discovered the underlying mechanism that Tat-NTS peptide targets microglial ANXA1 to protect against ischemic brain injury. Methods: Preclinical studies of ischemic stroke were performed using an oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) cell model in vitro and the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) animal model of ischemic stroke in vivo. Confocal imaging and 3D reconstruction analyses for detecting the protein expression and subcellular localization of microglia in vivo. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), immunoblotting, ELISA, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Luciferase reporter assay for determining the precise molecular mechanism. Measurement on the cytotoxicity of Tat-NTS peptide for microglia was assessed by CCK-8 and LDH assay. TUNEL staining was used to detect the microglia conditioned medium-mediated neuronal apoptosis. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) were injected into the cerebral cortex, striatum and hippocampal CA1 region of adult male Cx3cr1-Cre mice, to further verify the neurofunctional outcome and mechanism of Tat-NTS peptide by TTC staining, the modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS) test, the open field test (OFT), the novel object recognition task (NORT), the Morris water maze (MWM) test, the long-term potentiation (LTP) and the Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results: It was observed that administration of Tat-NTS led to a shift of subcellular localization of ANXA1 in microglia from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in response to ischemic injury. Notably, this shift was accompanied by an increase in ANXA1 SUMOylation in microglia and a transformation of microglia towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype. We confirmed that Tat-NTS-induced ANXA1 SUMOylation in microglia mediated IKKα degradation via NBR1-dependent selective autophagy, then blocking the activation of the NF-κB pathway. As a result, the expression and release of the pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α were reduced in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Furthermore, we found that Tat-NTS peptide's protective effect on microglia relieved ischemic neuron apoptosis. Finally, we demonstrated that Tat-NTS peptide administration, through induction of ANXA1 SUMOylation in microglia, reduced infarct volume, improved neurological function and facilitated behavioral recovery in MCAO mice. Conclusions: Our study provides evidence for a novel mechanism of Tat-NTS peptide in regulating microglial ANXA1 function and its substantial neuroprotective effect on neurons with ischemic injuries. These findings suggest that Tat-NTS peptides have a high potential for clinical application and may be a promising therapeutic candidate for treating cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
This study establishes and validates a series of three dimentional (3D) DNA origami frameworks (DOFs) carrying imaging probes to evaluate their pharmacokinetics and real-time bio-distribution in mice. Three typical DOFs with distinguished structural properties are subjected to mice intravenous injection to systematically investigate their in vivo behaviors. Tracing the radioisotope zirconium-89 (89 Zr) trapped at the inner space of the frameworks, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is employed to record the real-time bio-distribution of the structures and acquire their pharmacokinetic parameters in the major metabolic organs. The 3D DOFs show different behavior compared to previous structures, with lower kidney accumulation and higher liver retention. Modifications to the structures, such as exposed ssDNA or polyethylene glycol (PEG) moieties, impact their behavior, but are structure-dependent. The 43 nm icosahedra framework among the DOFs perform the best in liver targeting, with the ssDNA extensions enhancing this tendency. The modification of triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), further improves its uptake in liver cells, especially in hepatocytes over other cell types, discovered by flow cytometry analysis.

Abstract
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is an important zoonotic tropical disease in China that affects people living in western endemic areas. The disease is prone to occur in the liver with a characteristic similar to slow-growing malignant tumors. We report a 31-year-old male patient with serious complication after hepatorrhaphy, who had presented with clinical manifestations of hepatapostema with infection. Ultrasound (US) and computer tomography (CT) are two important medical imaging modalities to diagnose hepatic AE. Based on the medical history, clinical findings, laboratorial and imaging results, the patient was misdiagnosed with hepatapostema. A series of subsequent treatments were ineffective. Finally, partial hepatectomy was performed, and postoperative pathological results confirmed hepatic AE. The patient has now recovered.

Abstract
Background Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) impacts not only adolescents who engage in it but also their parents. However, there has been limited research into the psychological well-being of these parents. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the symptoms of anxiety and depression among parents of adolescents who engaged in NSSI in China and the factors associated with them. Methods A total of 400 parents of adolescents with NSSI were included. Socio-demographic information of these parents was collected. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used to assess symptoms of anxiety, depression, and psychological resilience, respectively. Results The majority of the parents were female (83.5%), married (86.3%), and had a senior high school or equivalent and lower education level (67.1%). The study found that 35.3% of the parents experienced clinically significant symptoms of anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 7) and 40.1% had clinically significant symptoms of depression (PHQ-9 ≥ 7). Parents with larger ages and lower levels of psychological resilience were more likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression (p < 0.05). Parents who reported bad parent-child relationships showed a higher level of anxiety. Conclusion This study provides important insights into the symptoms of anxiety and depression among parents of adolescents with NSSI. Parental age, parent-child relationship, and psychological resilience were associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression in these parents. Implications for the development of interventions aimed at addressing symptoms of anxiety and depression in parents of adolescents with NSSI were discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing concerns about the safety of gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents have reinforced the need for the development of Gd-free MRI contrast agents (CAs) that are effective in imaging liver tumors. PURPOSE To evaluate the ability of Mn-BnO-TyEDTA MRI CA to detect hepatocellular carcinoma in a mouse model of implanted liver tumor. STUDY TYPE Prospective. ANIMAL MODEL Thirteen orthotopically implanted liver tumor mice. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3.0 T/precontrast and postcontrast T1-weighted fast spoiled gradient recalled echo and T2-weighted fast recovery fast spin-echo imaging with fat suppression. ASSESSMENT The relative enhancement ratio was calculated and statistically compared. Lesion detection in postcontrast images was analyzed by calculations of area under the curve (AUC, the increases in liver-to-tumor contrast-to-noise ratio [∆CNR] vs. time curve). Mn or Gd levels were measured in the liver and tumoral tissues by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Tumor specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and the expression of organic anion transfer peptide (OATP)1B1 was evaluated by immunofluorescence (IF) staining and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated. STATISTICAL TESTS Unpaired t-test and two-tailed paired t-test. P < 0.05 was considered statistical significance. RESULTS Mn-BnO-TyEDTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA demonstrated nearly identical enhancement patterns in the liver, tumor, and psoas muscle and no difference in lesion detection (AUC10-30, Mn = 851 ∆CR·min, AUC10-30, Gd = 823 ∆CR·min). A Significant higher concentration of metal (Mn or Gd) was found in the liver compared to the tumor ([Mn]liver = 0.88 ± 0.07 μmmol/g, [Mn]tumor = 0.49 ± 0.05 μmmol/g, [Gd]liver = 0.65 ± 0.07 μmmol/g, [Gd]tumor = 0.27 ± 0.04 μmmol/g). IF staining showed significantly decreased expression of OATP1B1 in the tumor core compared to the liver (MFItumor = 5.28 ± 1.54, MFIliver = 25.49 ± 3.41). DATA CONCLUSION Mn-BnO-TyEDTA can provide comparable hepatobiliary tumor contrast enhancement to Gd-EOB-DTPA. EVIDENCE LEVEL 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.

Abstract
The marine methylotrophic OM43 clade is considered an important bacterial group in coastal microbial communities. OM43 bacteria, which are closely related to phytoplankton blooms, have small cell sizes and streamlined genomes. Bacteriophages profoundly shape the evolutionary trajectories, population dynamics, and physiology of microbes. The prevalence and diversity of several phages that infect OM43 bacteria have been reported. In this study, we isolated and sequenced two novel OM43 phages, MEP401 and MEP402. These phages share 90% of their open reading frames (ORFs) and are distinct from other known phage isolates. Furthermore, a total of 99 metagenomic viral genomes (MVGs) closely related to MEP401 and MEP402 were identified. Phylogenomic analyses suggest that MEP401, MEP402, and these identified MVGs belong to a novel subfamily in the family Zobellviridae and that they can be separated into two groups. Group I MVGs show conserved whole-genome synteny with MEP401, while group II MVGs possess the MEP401-type DNA replication module and a distinct type of morphogenesis and packaging module, suggesting that genomic recombination occurred between phages. Most members in these two groups were predicted to infect OM43 bacteria. Metagenomic read-mapping analysis revealed that the phages in these two groups are globally ubiquitous and display distinct biogeographic distributions, with some phages being predominant in cold regions, some exclusively detected in estuarine stations, and others displaying wider distributions. This study expands our knowledge of the diversity and ecology of a novel phage lineage that infects OM43 bacteria by describing their genomic diversity and global distribution patterns. IMPORTANCE OM43 phages that infect marine OM43 bacteria are important for host mortality, community structure, and physiological functions. In this study, two OM43 phages were isolated and characterized. Metagenomic viral genome (MVG) retrieval using these two OM43 phages as baits led to the identification of two phage groups of a new subfamily in the family Zobellviridae. We found that group I MVGs share similar genomic content and arrangement with MEP401 and MEP402, whereas group II MVGs only possess the MEP401-type DNA replication module. Metagenomic mapping analysis suggests that members in these two groups are globally ubiquitous with distinct distribution patterns. This study provides important insights into the genomic diversity and biogeography of the OM43 phages in the global ocean.

Abstract
BACKGROUND PD-L1 promotes glycolysis in tumour cells. We observed a correlation between high PD-L1 expression and high 18F-FDG uptake in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in a previous study. This study aims to determine the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/CT for evaluating the PD-L1 status in PDAC and to elucidate its rationality by integrated analyses. METHODS For bioinformatics analysis, WGCNA, GSEA and TIMER were applied to analyse the pathways and hub genes associated with PD-L1 and glucose uptake. 18F-FDG uptake assay was used to determine the glucose uptake rate of PDAC cells in vitro. Related genes expression were verified by RT-PCR and western blot. A retrospective analysis was performed on 47 patients with PDAC who had undergone 18F-FDG PET/CT. Maximum standardised uptake values (SUVmax) were determined. The usefulness of SUVmax for evaluating PD-L1 status was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Bioinformatics analysis showed that several signalling pathways are associated with both PD-L1 expression and tumour glucose uptake, among which JAK-STAT may be an important one. By in vitro experiments, the regulatory role of PD-L1 on glucose uptake was demonstrated, and its dependency on the JAK-STAT pathway was also verified by the rescue study. The SUVmax of PD-L1-positive patients was significantly higher than PD-L1-negative in tumour cells (TCs) (6.1 ± 2.3 vs. 11.1 ± 4.2; P < 0.001), and in tumour-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) (6.4 ± 3.2 vs. 8.4 ± 3.5; P < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, SUVmax was significantly associated with PD-L1 expression in TCs and TIICs (P < 0.001 and P = 0.018, respectively). Using SUVmax cut-off values of 8.15 and 7.75, PD-L1 status in TCs and TIICs could be predicted with accuracies of 91.5% and 74.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION Higher 18F-FDG uptake by PDAC is associated with elevated PD-L1 expression. JAK-STAT is an important pathway that mediates PD-L1 to promote glucose uptake in PDAC.

Abstract
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. This Letter reports results from LUX-ZEPLIN's first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with an exposure of 60 live days using a fiducial mass of 5.5 t. A profile-likelihood ratio analysis shows the data to be consistent with a background-only hypothesis, setting new limits on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon, spin-dependent WIMP-neutron, and spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross sections for WIMP masses above 9 GeV/c^{2}. The most stringent limit is set for spin-independent scattering at 36 GeV/c^{2}, rejecting cross sections above 9.2×10^{-48} cm at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract
Reaction-bonded boron carbide (RBBC) composites have broad application prospects due to their low cost and net size sintering. The microstructure, reaction mechanism of boron carbide with molten silicon (Si), and mechanical properties have been substantially studied. However, the mechanical properties strengthening mechanism of reaction-bonded boron carbide composites are still pending question. In this study, dense boron carbide ceramics were fabricated by liquid Si infiltration of B4C-C preforms with dispersed carbon black (CB) as the carbon source. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) with a molecular weight of 1800 was used as the dispersant. CB powders uniformly distributed around boron carbide particles and efficiently protected them from reacting with molten Si. The uniformly distributed CB powders in situ reacted with molten Si and formed uniformly distributed SiC grains, thus forming a continuous boron carbide-SiC ceramic skeleton. Meanwhile, the Si content of the composites was reduced. Using PEI-dispersed CB powders as additional carbon source, the composites' flexural strength, fracture toughness, and Vickers hardness reach up to 470 MPa, 4.6 MPa·m1/2, and 22 GPa, which were increased by 44%, 15%, and 10%, respectively. The mechanisms of mechanical properties strengthening were also discussed.

Abstract
Co-exposure of tetracycline (TC) and polyethylene microplastic (MP-PE) pollution might result in more intricate effects on rice growth and grain quality. In present study, two different rice cultivars of contrasting drought tolerance, Hanyou73 (H73, drought-resistant) and Quanyou280 (Q280, drought-sensitive) were grown on MP-PE and TC-contaminated soils under drought. It was found that drought stress had different influence on TC accumulation in the two rice cultivars. H73 accumulated more TC in leaves and grains without drought stress while Q280 accumulated more TC under drought stress. Furthermore, metabolomics results demonstrated that under drought stress, about 80% of metabolites in H73 and 95% in Q280 were down-regulated as compared to non-drought treatments. These findings provide insights into the effects of TC and MP-PE with and without drought stress on potential risks to rice growth and grain quality, which has implications on rice production and cultivar election under multiple-stress conditions.

Abstract
Recent evidences have implicated that SENP3 is a deSUMOylase which possesses neuronal damage effects in cerebral ischemia. However, its role in microglia remains poorly understood. Here, we found that SENP3 was upregulated in the peri-infarct areas of mice following ischemic stroke. Furthermore, knockdown of SENP3 significantly inhibits the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in microglial cells. Mechanistically, SENP3 can bind and then mediated the deSUMOylation of c-Jun, which activated its transcriptional activity, ultimately followed by the activation of MAPK/AP-1 signaling pathway. In addition, microglia-specific SENP3 knockdown alleviated ischemia-induced neuronal damage, and markedly diminished infract volume, ameliorated sensorimotor and cognitive function in animals subjected to ischemic stroke. These results indicated SENP3 functions as a novel regulator of microglia-induced neuroinflammation by activating the MAPK/AP-1 signaling pathway via mediating the deSUMOylation of c-Jun. Interventions of SENP3 expression or its interaction with c-Jun would be a new and promising therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excessive and unresolved neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many neurological disorders, such as ischemic stroke, yet there are no effective treatments. Tripartite motif-containing 67 (TRIM67) plays a crucial role in the control of inflammatory disease and pathogen infection-induced inflammation; however, the role of TRIM67 in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury remains poorly understood. RESULTS In the present study, we demonstrated that the expression level of TRIM67 was significantly reduced in middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) mice and primary cultured microglia subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion. Furthermore, a significant reduction in infarct size and neurological deficits was observed in mice after TRIM67 upregulation. Interestingly, TRIM67 upregulation alleviated neuroinflammation and cell death after cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury in MCAO/R mice. A mechanistic study showed that TRIM67 bound to IκBα, reduced K48-linked ubiquitination and increased K63-linked ubiquitination, thereby inhibiting its degradation and promoting the stability of IκBα, ultimately inhibiting NF-κB activity after cerebral ischemia. CONCLUSION Taken together, this study demonstrated a previously unidentified mechanism whereby TRIM67 regulates neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis and strongly indicates that upregulation of TRIM67 may provide therapeutic benefits for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
The introduction of active groups from biomass is currently the most promising alternative method for increasing the adsorption effect of dyes. In this study, modified aminated lignin (MAL) rich in phenolic hydroxyl and amine groups was prepared by amination and catalytic grafting. The factors influencing the modification conditions of the content of amine and phenolic hydroxyl groups were explored. Chemical structural analysis results confirmed that MAL was successfully prepared using a two-step method. The content of phenolic hydroxyl groups in MAL significantly increased to 1.46 mmol/g. MAL/sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) gel microspheres (MCGM) with enhanced methylene blue (MB) adsorption capacity owing to the formation of a composite with MAL were synthesized by a sol-gel process followed by freeze-drying and using multivalent cations Al3+ as cross-linking agents. In addition, the effects of the MAL to NaCMC mass ratio, time, concentration, and pH on the adsorption of MB were explored. Benefiting from a sufficient number of active sites, MCGM exhibited an ultrahigh adsorption capacity for MB removal, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 118.30 mg/g. These results demonstrated the potential of MCGM for wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Serving as targeting ligands, aptamers have shown promise in precision medicine. However, the lack of knowledge of the biosafety and metabolism patterns in the human body largely impeded aptamers' clinical translation. To bridge this gap, here we report the first-in-human pharmacokinetics study of protein tyrosine kinase 7 targeted SGC8 aptamer via in vivo PET tracking of gallium-68 (68Ga) radiolabeled aptamers. The specificity and binding affinity of a radiolabeled aptamer, named 68Ga[Ga]-NOTA-SGC8, were maintained as proven in vitro. Further preclinical biosafety and biodistribution evaluation confirmed that aptamers have no biotoxicity, potential mutation risks, or genotoxicity at high dosage (40 mg/kg). Based on this result, a first-in-human clinical trial was approved and carried out to evaluate the circulation and metabolism profiles, as well as biosafety, of the radiolabeled SGC8 aptamer in the human body. Taking advantage of the cutting-edge total-body PET, the aptamers' distribution pattern in the human body was acquired in a dynamic fashion. This study revealed that radiolabeled aptamers are harmless to normal organs and most of them are accumulated in the kidney and cleared from the bladder via urine, which agrees with preclinical studies. Meanwhile, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model of aptamer was developed, which could potentially predict therapeutic responses and plan personalized treatment strategies. This research studied the biosafety and dynamic pharmacokinetics of aptamers in the human body for the first time, as well as demonstrated the capability of novel molecular imaging fashion in drug development.

Abstract
Evaluation of photosynthetic quantum yield is important for analyzing the phenotype of plants. Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) has been widely used to estimate plant photosynthesis and its regulatory mechanisms. The ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence, Fv /Fm , obtained from a ChlF induction curve, is commonly used to reflect the maximum photochemical quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII), but it is measured after a sample is dark-adapted for a long time, which limits its practical use. In this research, a least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) model was developed to explore whether Fv /Fm can be determined from ChlF induction curves measured without dark adaptation. A total of 7,231 samples of 8 different experiments, under diverse conditions, were used to train the LSSVM model. Model evaluation with different samples showed excellent performance in determining Fv /Fm from ChlF signals without dark adaptation. Computation time for each test sample was less than 4 ms. Further, the prediction performance of test dataset was found to be very desirable: a high correlation coefficient (0.762 to 0.974); a low root mean squared error (0.005 to 0.021); and a residual prediction deviation of 1.254 to 4.933. These results clearly demonstrate that Fv /Fm , the widely used ChlF induction feature, can be determined from measurements without dark adaptation of samples. This will not only save experiment time but also make Fv /Fm useful in real-time and field applications. This work provides a high-throughput method to determine the important photosynthetic feature through ChlF for phenotyping plants.

Abstract
Multiple primary malignancies combined with SWI/SNF complex-deficient gastric cancer is a rare clinical entity and poorly documented. Herein we report a case of this disease in an 81-year-old male patient treated in our hospital. Before the established diagnosis of metachronous multiple primary malignancies, the patient received left lower lobectomy for a spaceoccupying mass in the left lung, which was confirmed by postoperative pathology as early stage lung cancer. SWI/SNF complex-deficiency gastric cancer with metastasis was subsequently detected by gastroscopy, and high-throughput sequencing identified ARID1A and TMB-H gene mutations in the tumor tissues. The patient received chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy but failed to respond to the treatment, and died 13 months later. We conducted a literature review and analyzed the occurrence, pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this disease.

Abstract
A series of 2-hydroxy-4-benzyloxylimine resveratrol derivatives was designed, synthesized and evaluated as multifunctional agents for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The results revealed that most derivatives possessed good multifunctional activities. Among them, representative compound (E)-5-[(4-fluorobenzyl)oxy]-2-{[(4-hydroxyphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol (7 h) exhibited excellent MAO-B inhibition (IC50 =8.43×10-3 μM) and high antioxidant activity (ORAC=3.45 Trolox equivalent). Additionally, 7 h displayed good metal chelating ability, appropriate blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, significant neuroprotective effect, and great anti-neuroinflammatory activity. Furthermore, 7 h can also ameliorate 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease symptoms in mice. Therefore, compound 7 h was found to be a promising candidate for further development against PD.

Abstract
Collaboration is essential to improve the efficiency of product research and development (R&D), shorten the R&D cycle, and reduce the R&D costs in complex product lifecycle model management (CPLMM). However, disorganized processes and the unreliability of the result evaluation remain enormous challenges for efficient collaboration. This article proposes an active-passive collaboration mechanism to enable a regulated collaboration system, which can direct the self-organized collaboration of stakeholders. C-D-Petri Net is presented for the formal collaboration process modeling. The result evaluation in active-passive collaboration involves multi-source knowledge across disciplines and phases. To address the unreliable collaboration evaluation (Co-evaluation) caused by insufficient evaluation knowledge and weak correlation between expertise and evaluation task, the collaborative fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (CFCE) model is established to support Co-evaluation actions, and its core improvement lies in the definition and introduction of collaboration volume. Finally, a simulated aircraft horizontal tail control system is regarded as an engineering application case to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract
Currently, studies have analyzed the formation mechanism of primordial germ cell (PGC) at the transcriptional level, but few at the protein level, which made the mechanism study of PGC formation not systematic. Here, we screened differential expression proteins (DEPs) regulated PGC formation by label-free proteomics with a novel sampling strategy of embryonic stem cells and PGC. Analysis of DEPs showed that multiple key events were involved, such as the transition from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, activation of autophagy, low DNA methylation ensured the normal formation of PGC, beyond that, protein ubiquitination also played an important role in PGC formation. Importantly, the progression of such events was attributed to the inconsistency between transcription and translation. Interestingly, MAPK, PPAR, Wnt, and JAK signaling pathways not only interact with each other but also interact with different events to participate in the formation of PGC, which formed the PGC regulatory network. According to the regulatory network, the efficiency of PGC formation in induction system can be significantly improved. In conclusion, our results indicate that chicken PGC formation is a complex process involving multiple events and signals, which provide technical support for the specific application in PGC research.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nodal-loop semimetal (NLSM) materials have attracted much attention for their high-speed and low-consumption transporting properties as well as their fantastic symmetry protection mechanisms. In this paper, using systematic first-principles calculations, we present an excellent NLSM candidate, a 2D AlSb monolayer, in which the conduction and valence bands cross with each other forming fascinating multiple nodal-loop (NL) states. The NLSM properties of the AlSb monolayer are protected by its glide mirror symmetry, which was confirmed using a symmetry-constrained six-band tight-binding model. The transport properties of the AlSb monolayer under in-plane uniaxial strains are also studied, based on a non-equilibrium Green's function method. It is found that both compressive and tensile strains from -10% to 10% improve the transporting properties of AlSb, and it is interesting to see that flexure configurations are energetically favored when compressive uniaxial strains are applied. Our studies not only provide a novel 2D NLSM candidate with a new symmetry protection mechanism, but also raise the novel possibility for the detection of out-of-plane flexure in 2D semimetal materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microglia-induced excessive neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of multiple neurological diseases, such as ischaemic stroke. Controlling inflammatory responses is considered a promising therapeutic approach. Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) mediates lysine desuccinylation, which is involved in various critical biological processes, but its role in ischaemic stroke remains poorly understood. This research systematically explored the function and potential mechanism of SIRT5 in microglia-induced neuroinflammation in ischaemic stroke. METHODS Mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion were established as the animal model, and primary cultured microglia treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion were established as the cell model of ischaemic stroke. SIRT5 short hairpin RNA, adenovirus and adeno-associated virus techniques were employed to modulate SIRT5 expression in microglia both in vitro and in vivo. Coimmunoprecipitation, western blot and quantitative real-time PCR assays were performed to reveal the molecular mechanism. RESULTS In the current study, we showed that SIRT5 expression in microglia was increased in the early phase of ischaemic stroke. SIRT5 interacts with and desuccinylates Annexin A1 (ANXA1) at K166, which in turn decreases its SUMOylation level. Notably, the desuccinylation of ANXA1 blocks its membrane recruitment and extracellular secretion, resulting in the hyperactivation of microglia and excessive expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, ultimately leading to neuronal cell damage after ischaemic stroke. Further investigation showed that microglia-specific forced overexpression of SIRT5 worsened ischaemic brain injury, whereas downregulation of SIRT5 exhibited neuroprotective and cognitive-preserving effects against ischaemic brain injury, as proven by the decreased infarct area, reduced neurological deficit scores, and improved cognitive function. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these data identify SIRT5 as a novel regulator of microglia-induced neuroinflammation and neuronal damage after cerebral ischaemia. Interventions targeting SIRT5 expression may represent a potential therapeutic target for ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
Objective: The susceptibility of tinnitus rats with low estrogen level induced by sodium salicylate and the changes of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in serum were observed to investigate the relationship between tinnitus occurrence and estrogen level. Methods: Forty-two healthy female Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group(n=6), normal group(n=6), sham operation group(n=6) and ovariectomized group(n=24). Control group was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline 200 mg/kg for 14 consecutive days. Normal group, sham operation group and ovariectomized group were intraperitoneally injected with sodium salicylate 200 mg/kg for 14 consecutive days. Before and after sodium salicylate induction, the tinnitus behavior of rats in each group was detected by prepulse inhibition (PPI) and gap pre-pulse inhibition of the acoustic startle (GPIAS) test. Before and after sodium salicylate induction, blood samples were collected from eyeballs of rats in each group, and serum levels of estradiol and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. SPSS 25.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: (1) Following 14 days of sodium salicylate intervention, there was no significant difference in PPI inhibition rate between groups or within groups(all P>0.05). (2)There was no significant difference in the inhibition rate of GPIAS in the four groups before sodium salicylate injection(F=0.217, P>0.05). With sodium salicylate injected for 14 days, the inhibition rate of GPIAS in ovariectomized group (30.88%±15.40%) was significantly lower than that in the other three groups (44.11%±21.06%, 38.27%±10.92%, 51.59%±11.34%), and the difference was statistically significant(F=3.533, P<0.05). The inhibition rate of GPIAS in ovariectomized group with sodium salicylate injected for 14 days was significantly lower than that before injection, and the difference was statistically significant(t=2.977, P<0.05).There was no significant difference in GPIAS inhibition rate between the other three groups before and after sodium salicylate injection(P>0.05). (3)The level of TNF-α in ovariectomized rats was significantly higher than that in the other three groups, the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05). With sodium salicylate injection for 14 days, TNF-α level in the ovariectomized group increased more significantly than that in the other three groups, the difference was statistically significant(F=8.045, P<0.05). TNF-α levels increased following salicylate injection in normal group, sham operation group and ovariectomized group, and the differences were statistically significant(t value was -4.843, -4.932 and -5.965 respectively, each P<0.05). There was no significant difference in TNF-α levels before and after normal saline injection in control group(all P>0.05). Conclusion: Low estrogen levels increase susceptibility to sodium salicylate-induced tinnitus. Decreased estrogen levels may increase susceptibility to tinnitus through the increased expression of pro-inflammatory factor TNF-α.

Abstract
Background Previous data have reported that Sentrin/SUMO-specific protease 6 (SENP6) is involved in ischaemic brain injury and induces neuronal apoptosis after cerebral ischaemia, but the role of SENP6 in microglia-induced neuroinflammation and its underlying mechanism remain poorly understood. This research systematically explored the function and potential mechanism of SENP6 in microglia-induced neuroinflammation after ischaemic stroke. Results We first identified an increased protein level of SENP6 in microglia after cerebral ischaemia. Then, we demonstrated that SENP6 promoted detrimental microglial phenotype polarization. Specifically, SENP6-mediated de-SUMOylation of ANXA1 targeted the IκB kinase (IKK) complex and selectively inhibited the autophagic degradation of IKKα in an NBR1-dependent manner, activating the NF-κB pathway and enhancing proinflammatory cytokine expression. In addition, downregulation of SENP6 in microglia effectively reduced cocultured neuronal damage induced by ischaemic stroke. More importantly, we employed an AAV-based technique to specifically knockdown SENP6 in microglia/macrophages, and in vivo experiments showed that SENP6 inhibition in microglia/macrophages notably lessened brain ischaemic infarct size, decreased neurological deficit scores, and ameliorated motor and cognitive function in mice subjected to cerebral ischaemia surgery. Conclusion We demonstrated a previously unidentified mechanism by which SENP6-mediated ANXA1 de-SUMOylation regulates microglial polarization and our results strongly indicated that in microglia, inhibition of SENP6 may be a crucial beneficial therapeutic strategy for ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a hallmark of the function and activation of innate immune cells, can act as a 'double-edged sword', contributing to clear infection as well as causing tissue oxidizing damage in various inflammatory diseases. In this study, an activatable Mn(II) chelate-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent (CA), Mn-TyEDTA (TyEDTA = tyrosine derived ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) structurally featuring a phenol group as the electron-donor, was developed to sense the activity of peroxidase in vitro and in vivo. Mn-TyEDTA demonstrated a peroxidase activity-dependent relaxivity in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/H2O2 with more than a 2.6-fold increase in water proton relaxivity produced (HRP, 500 U; H2O2, 4.5 eq). A mechanism of peroxidase-mediated Mn(II) monomer radical polymerization was confirmed with those oligomers of Mn-TyEDTA such as dimer, trimer and tetramer were found in the LC-MS study. Dynamic MR imaging of normal mice revealed rapid blood clearance and mixed renal and hepatobiliary elimination of Mn-TyEDTA. Furthermore, compared to liver-specific and non-specific extracellular contrast agents (Mn-BnO-TyEDTA (BnO-TyEDTA = benzyl tyrosine-derived ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and Gd-DTPA (DTPA = diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid)), MRI on a monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced acute mice model of arthritis showed that inflamed tissues could be selectively enhanced by Mn-TyEDTA, suggesting that this peroxidase-activatable Mn(II) MRI probe could potentially be used for noninvasive detection of MPO activity in vivo.

Abstract
To study the effect of miR-153-3p on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a high glucose environment and its potential mechanism. The results showed that high glucose inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and the expression of miR-153-3p increased during osteogenic differentiation. Further experiments found that in BMSCs induced by high glucose, overexpression of miR-153-3p inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and the expressions of osteogenesis-related genes bone sialoprotein, Collagen I and alkaline phosphatase were down-regulated, while silencing of miR-153-3p alleviated the inhibition effect. The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of runt related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) had a targeted binding site with miR-153-3p and a negative regulatory effect. Molecular studies further confirmed that miR-153-3p inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by targeting the 3'-UTR of RUNX2. In conclusion, our study found that as one key regulator of high glucose affecting the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, miR-153-3p may play a negative regulatory role by inhibiting the expression of RUNX2.

Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the biomechanical differences between clear aligner and fixed appliance in the traction of labially impacted canines based on 3D finite element analysis. Methods: A series of patient-oriented finite element models were constructed, including a maxillary dentition with a right labially canine, maxilla, periodontal ligaments, traction attachments, and clear aligners. The two most common clinical scenarios were investigated: Scenario A: impacted canine (distal) and Scenario B: impacted canine (mesial). For each clinical scenario, three traction models with clear aligners and one fixed appliance model were established. Results: In all four models, the impacted canines exhibited similar initial displacement tendencies of mesially rotated in Scenario A and distally rotated in Scenario B, and with small differences in periodontal ligament stress magnitude. However, the sum of the periodontal ligament stresses of the anchorage teeth in the clear aligner mode was in the range of 56.28–76.21 kPa and in the fixed appliance mode was in the range of 6.61–7.22 kPa. The maximum value of initial displacement of the anchorage teeth in the clear aligner mode was in the range of 13.71–19.72 μm, while in the fixed appliance mode was 3.10–3.92 μm. Conclusion: For impacted canines, clear aligner mode and fixed appliance mode have little difference in biomechanical effect. However, the anchorage teeth in the clear aligner mode endure higher stress and show a more pronounced displacement tendency. In addition, the biomechanical effects of different clear aligner traction models are various but not obvious.

Abstract
In this study, a hybrid composite featuring zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/carbon aerogel (ZIF-8/CA) was synthesized via in situ nucleation and growth of ZIF-8 nanoparticles inside carbon aerogels. The novel material was used as the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coating for the five phthalic acid esters (PAEs) detection by coupling with a gas chromatography–flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Compared with bare carbon aerogel, the ZIF-8/CA presented the best performance, which is attributed to the unique advantages between the high surface area of CA and high hydrophobic properties, the thermal stability of ZIF-8, and their synergistic adsorption effects, such as molecular penetration, hydrogen bond, and π–π stacking interactions. Under the optimized conditions, the as-proposed ZIF-8/CA fiber provided a wide linearity range from 0.2 to 1000 μg L−1 and a low detection limit of 0.17–0.48 μg L−1 for PAEs analysis. The intra-day and inter-day of signal fiber and the fiber–fiber relative standard deviations were observed in the ranges of 3.50–8.16%, 5.02–10.57%, and 5.66–12.11%, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of five PAEs in plastic bottled and river water samples.

We designed and assembled a series of DNA origami structures with equal quantity of nucleic acid materials but different morphologies and rigidities, such as barrel, soccer ball, icosahedron, and compared their transport efficiency in an in vitro BBB model. It was observed that the relatively large and soft structures could better penetrate the BBB through a lysosome irrelative transcytosis process, while the smallest and most rigid structure was blocked severally accompanied with an obvious lysosome digestion once internalized by the endothelial cells.

Abstract
Molecular imaging has greatly advanced basic biology and translational medicine through visualization and quantification of molecular events in a cellular context and living organisms. Nuclear medicine, including positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission tomography (SPECT), is one of the most representative molecular imaging modalities which is widely used in clinical theranostics. Recently, numerous molecular imaging agents have been developed to improve the quality and expand the applicable diseases of molecular imaging. Based on the choice of specific imaging agents, molecular imaging is capable of studying tumor biological activities, detecting tumor metastasis, and imaging Alzheimer’s disease-related amyloid proteins. Among these imaging agents, functional oligonucleotides-based imaging probes are becoming increasingly important due to their unique features. Antisense oligonucleotides, small interfering RNA, and aptamers are privileged molecular tools in precision medicine for cancer diagnosis and treatment. These chemically synthesized oligonucleotides without batch-to-batch variations are flexible to incorporate with other molecules without affecting their functionalities. Therefore, through the combination of oligonucleotides with radioisotopes, a series of molecular imaging agents were developed in the past decades to achieve highly sensitive and accurate biomedical imaging modalities for clinical theranostic. Due to the nature of oligonucleotides, the strategies of oligonucleotide radiolabeling are different from conventional small molecular tracers, and the radiolabeling strategy with rational design is highly correlated to the imaging quality. In this review, we summarize recent advancements in functional oligonucleotide radiolabeling strategies and respective molecular imaging applications. Meanwhile, challenges and future development insights of functional oligonucleotide-based radiopharmaceuticals are discussed in the end.

Abstract
Background Early mobilization in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a hotspot. This study aims to provide a bibliometric perspective of the progress in this field. Methods We extracted publications on ICU early mobilization published in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2000 to 2021. VOSviewer was used to construct co-occurrence and co-citation relationships for authors, references, and keywords; Citespace was used to visualize knowledge mapping of subject categories, countries, and keywords with the strongest citation bursts. Results A total of 4,570 publications were analyzed, with a steady increase in publications in the field of ICU early mobilization. From a macro perspective, research on ICU early mobilization involves multidisciplinary involvement, including critical care medicine, neurology, and nursing; as for the meso perspective, the United States is the major contributor. Needham DM and Schweickert WD are the key researchers in this field. Moreover, the core journal is Critical Care Medicine, with the most publications and citations. The microscopic level, dominated by references and keywords, illustrates that the hotspot and frontier of research on ICU early mobilization focus on ICU-acquired weakness, delirium, the prognosis of critical illness, and severe COVID-19. Conclusion This study presents a research landscape of ICU early mobilization from different perspectives. These findings will contribute to a better understanding of the current state of research in critical care medicine and provide the available information for future research ideas.

Abstract
BackgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex inflammatory disease with manifestations that play an important role in treatment selection.1 Treatments include oral agents, biologic therapies (inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor [TNFi], interleukin [IL-17Ai, IL-12/23i], cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 inhibitor [CTLA-4i]), and new targeted oral agents (inhibitors of phosphodiesterase-4 [PDE-4i] and Janus kinase [JAKi]).1 Few studies have examined real-world treatment patterns of recently approved therapies.ObjectivesEvaluate real-world treatment patterns for branded systemic therapy in patients with PsA.MethodsIn this retrospective study, medical and pharmacy claims from the US IBM MarketScan Commercial and Medicare databases (1/1/2012–12/31/2019) were used to identify patients with PsA who initiated treatment with a TNFi (adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab, golimumab, or certolizumab), IL-17Ai (secukinumab, ixekizumab), IL-12/23p40i (ustekinumab), IL-23p19i (guselkumab), CTLA-4i (abatacept), JAKi (tofacitinib), or PDE-4i (apremilast). Patients (≥18 years) with ≥1 prescription, ≥2 PsA claims separated by ≥1 day on or before the index date (first prescription date [1/1/13–12/31/2018]), and 1-year continuous enrollment before and after the index date were eligible. Treatment patterns were grouped into continuers, discontinuers, and patients with treatment modification (switchers [without a treatment gap], reinitiators [same drug with a treatment gap], and restarters [different drug with a treatment gap]) (Table 1). Patients were followed for 1 year or until treatment modification, whichever came first. Descriptive statistics were used.Table 1.TerminologyCohortDefinitionn/N (%)ContinuersOn index treatment during 1-year follow-up with no treatment gaps*1910/6455 (29.6)DiscontinuersNo prescription claims for any therapy during 1-year follow-up1614/6455 (25.0)Patients with treatment modificationsAll patients with a change in treatment during 1-year follow-up2908/6455 (45.1)SwitchersPrescription claims for treatments different than index therapy before permissible treatment gaps*794/6455 (12.3)ReinitiatorsPrescription claims for treatments SAME as index therapy AFTER treatment gaps*1686/6455 (26.1)RestartersPrescription claims for DIFFERENT therapy AFTER treatment gap*428/6455 (6.6)Note: All terminology applies to cohorts within the first year of treatment.*Treatment gap: gap of 200% of recommended dosing schedule from end of previous prescription’s days’ supply.ResultsA total of 6455 patients were included (mean age, 50.5 years; 55.5% female; mean Charlson Comorbidity Index score, 0.54). At baseline, the most commonly used therapies were immunosuppressants (58.5%), corticosteroids (52.2%), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (45.9%). Treatments most used at index were TNFi (72.5%; including adalimumab [41.6%] and etanercept [23.8%]) and the PDE-4i apremilast (21.1%). During the 1-year study period, 29.6% of patients maintained their index therapy and 25.0% discontinued. Treatment modification was observed in 45.1% of patients; 12.3% switched to a new therapy without a treatment gap, 26.1% restarted their index therapy, and 6.6% started a new therapy after a treatment gap.ConclusionAmong patients with PsA, there is substantial variability, including high rates of discontinuation within the first year and after index therapy. Further studies are warranted to understand reasons for these treatment patterns.References[1]Ogdie A et al. Treatment guidelines in psoriatic arthritis.
