Abstract
Transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are crystal nanomaterials with a number of surface functional groups such as fluorine, hydroxyl, and oxygen, which can be used as carriers for proteins and drugs. MXenes have excellent biocompatibility, electrical conductivity, surface hydrophilicity, mechanical properties and easy surface modification. However, at present, the stability of most MXenes needs to be improved, and more synthesis methods need to be explored. MXenes are good substrates for nerve cell regeneration and nerve reconstruction, which have broad application prospects in the repair of nervous system injury. Regarding the application of MXenes in neuroscience, mainly at the cellular level, the long-term in vivo biosafety and effects also need to be further explored. This review focuses on the progress of using MXenes in nerve regeneration over the last few years; discussing preparation of MXenes and their biocompatibility with different cells as well as the regulation by MXenes of nerve cell regeneration in two-dimensional and three-dimensional environments in vitro. MXenes have great potential in regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of nerve cells and in promoting regeneration and recovery after nerve injury. In addition, this review also presents the main challenges during optimization processes, such as the preparation of stable MXenes and long-term in vivo biosafety, and further discusses future directions in neural tissue engineering.

Abstract
Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is often caused by the m.3243A > G mutation in mitochondrial DNA. Unfortunately, the characteristics of MIDD, especially long-term outcomes and heteroplasmic changes, have not been well described previously. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and genetic features of a family with MIDD after 10 years of follow-up.A 33-year-old male patient with typical characteristics of MIDD, including early-onset diabetes, deafness, and low body mass index, was admitted to our department. Further investigation revealed that the vast majority of his maternal relatives suffered from diabetes with or without deafness. A detailed family history was then requested from the patient and a pedigree was constructed. The patient suspected of MIDD was screened for mutations using whole mitochondrial DNA sequencing. Candidate pathogenic variants were then validated in other family members through Sanger sequencing. The patient was diagnosed with MIDD, with inherited m.3243A > G mutation in the mitochondrially encoded tRNA leucine 1 (MT-TL1) gene, after 10 years of symptom onset. The patient was then treated with insulin and coenzyme Q10 to improve mitochondrial function. During the follow-up period, his fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels were improved and the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis was significantly reduced. Our findings indicate that whole mitochondrial DNA sequencing should be considered for patients suspected of MIDD to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Since microRNAs (miRNAs) are valuable biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, the pursuit of enhanced detection sensitivity through signal amplification strategies has emerged as a prominent focus in low-abundance miRNA detection research. DNA walkers, as dynamic DNA nanodevice, have gained significant attention for their applications as signal amplification strategies. To overcome the limitations of unipedal DNA walkers with a restricted signal amplification efficiency, there is a great need for multi-pedal DNA walkers that offer improved walking and signal amplification capabilities. Here, we employed a combination of catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and APE1 enzymatic cleavage reactions to construct a tripedal DNA walker, driving its movement to establish a cascade signal amplification system for the electrochemical detection of miRNA-155. The biosensor utilizes tumor cell-endogenous microRNA-155 and APE1 as dual-trigger for DNA walker formation and walking movement, leading to highly efficient and controllable signal amplification. The biosensor exhibited high sensitivity, with a low detection limit of 10 pM for microRNA-155, and successfully differentiated and selectively detected microRNA-155 from other interfering RNAs. Successful detection in 20 % serum samples indicates its potential clinical application. In addition, we harnessed strand displacement reactions to create a gentle yet efficient electrode regeneration strategy, to addresses the time-consuming challenges during electrode modification processes. We have successfully demonstrated the stability of current signals even after multiple cycles of electrode regeneration. This study showcased the high-efficiency amplification potential of multi-pedal DNA walkers and the effectiveness and versatility of strand displacement in biosensing applications. It opens a promising path for developing regenerable electrochemical biosensors. This regenerable strategy for electrochemical biosensors is both label-free and cost-effective, and holds promise for detecting various disease-related RNA targets beyond its current application.

Abstract
Trametes versicolor can produce aromatic flavor in growth and development, widely used in food fermentation. This study used a One-Factor-at-a-Time (OFAT) test and response surface analysis to study the optimum fermentation parameters of Rosa roxburghii tratt and coix seed yogurt by Trametes versicolor. The best fermentation process is as follows: skim milk powder 17 %, sucrose content 4 %, Rosa roxburghii tratt and coix seed liquid 36 %, fermentation temperature 39 °C, inoculum 2 %, strain ratio 2:1:1(LB12: BLH1: Q-1), fermentation time 9.5 h. Under this fermentation process, the sensory score was 82.11, the contents of vitamin C, GABA, and total live bacteria in this yogurt were 13.89, 2.58, and 1.02 times higher than in common yogurt. Correlation analyses showed a significant contribution of the leavening agent to the GABA content of yogurt. This study provides a foundation for producing Rosa roxburghii tratt and coix seed yogurt with high sensory and nutritional value.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) can cause partial or total motor and sensory nerve function, leading to physical disability and nerve pain that severely affects patients' quality of life. Autologous nerve transplantation is currently the clinically recognized gold standard, but due to its inherent limitations, researchers have been searching for alternative treatments. Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) have attracted much attention as a favorable alternative to promote the repair and regeneration of damaged peripheral nerves. In this review, we provide an overview of the anatomy of peripheral nerves, peripheral nerve injury and repair, and current treatment methods. Importantly, different design strategies of NGCs used for the treatment of PNI and their applications in PNI repair are highlighted. Finally, an outlook on the future development and challenges of NGCs is presented.

Abstract
Daily solar spectral irradiances (SSIs) at the spectral intervals 1-40, 116-264 and 950-1600 nm and four categories of solar small-scale magnetic elements ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) are used to study the temporal variation of coronal rotation and investigate the relation of the coronal rotation with magnetic field structures through continuous wavelet transform and Pearson correlation analysis. The results reveal the contributions of different magnetic structures to the temporal variation of the rotation for the coronal atmosphere during different phases of the solar cycle. During the solar maximum, the temporal variation of rotation for the coronal plasma atmosphere is mainly dominated by the small-scale magnetic elements of [Formula: see text]; whereas during the epochs of the relatively weak solar activity, it is controlled by the joint effect of the small-scale magnetic elements of both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The weaker the solar activity, the stronger the effect of [Formula: see text] would be. Furthermore, this study presents an explanation for the inconsistent results for the coronal rotation issue among the previous studies, and also reveals the reason why the coronal atmosphere rotates faster than the lower photosphere.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We explored the relationship between secondary degeneration of white matter (WM) tracts and motor outcomes after left basal ganglia infarction and investigated alterations in the diffusion indices of WM tracts in distal areas. METHODS Clinical neurological evaluations were accomplished using the Fugl-Meyer scale (FMS). Then, the fractional anisotropy (FA) of the bilateral superior corona radiata (SCR), cerebral peduncle (CP), corticospinal tracts (CST), and corpus callosum (CC) were measured in all patients and control subjects. RESULTS Regional-based analysis revealed decreased FA values in the ipsilesional SCR, CP, and CST of the patients, compared to the control subjects at 5- time points. The relative FA (rFA) values of the SCR, CP, and CST decreased progressively with time, the lowest values recorded at 90 days before increasing slightly at 180 days after stroke. Compared to the contralateral areas, the FA values of the ipsilesional SCR and CST areas were significantly decreased (P=0.023), while those of the CP decreased at 180 days (P=0.008). Compared with the values at 7 days, the rFA values of the ipsilesional SCR and CP areas were significantly reduced at 14, 30, and 90 days, while those in the CST area were significantly reduced at 14, 90, and 180 days. The CP rFA value at 7 days correlated positively with the FM scores at 180 days (r=0.469, P=0.037). CONCLUSION This study provides an objective, comprehensive, and automated protocol for detecting secondary degeneration of WM, which is important in understanding rehabilitation mechanisms after stroke.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Treatment for endometrial cancer (EC) with radiotherapy is increasingly guided by molecular risk classifications. Derived from genomic profiling of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project, several EC risk classification systems, including ProMisE and Leiden/TransPORTEC, have been developed. However, the current systems were developed on a relatively homogeneous population. Black or African American (BOAA) patients have consistently been demonstrated to have worse stage-adjusted prognosis than Caucasians. Given this, we intended to develop a new unified risk classification system (NU-CATS) for EC patients using machine learning (ML) utilizing datasets with demographically diverse populations. MATERIALS/METHODS TCGA-Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (n = 596), Memorial Sloan Kettering-Metastatic Events and Tropisms (MSK-MET, n = 1,315) and the American Association for Cancer Research Project Genomics Evidence Neoplasia Information Exchange (AACR-GENIE, n = 4,561) were used to identify genetic alterations and clinicopathological features, including age, race, stage, histologic grade and features, and distribution of metastatic disease. Software packages including Keras, Pytorch, and Scikit Learn were tested to build artificial neural networks (ANNs) with a binary output as either intra-abdominal metastatic lesions vs. non-metastatic. A 5-layered ANN (5-6-4-2-1) using 5 inputs ('age at surgery', 'histology', 'race', 'mismatch repair status' and 'TP53'). The optimal performing ANN was selected and cross validated. The weights and biases of the trained ANN were used to reconstruct the algorithm. RESULTS BOAA patients with EC have worse prognosis than Caucasians, adjusting for TP53 or POLE mutation status. TP53 is the most common gene differentially altered by race in EC. Over 75% of BOAA patients carry TP53 mutations as compared to approximately 40% of Caucasians. Older age is associated with an increasing likelihood of TP53 mutations, high risk histology, and distant metastasis. For patients above age 70, 91% of BOAA and 60% of Caucasian EC patients carry TP53 mutations. The NU-CATS that incorporates age, race, histology, mismatch repair (MMR) status, and TP53 mutation status showed 75% accuracy in prognosticating intra-abdominal metastasis. A higher NU-CATS (>50) is associated with about 2-fold increased risk of having positive pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes (LNs) and distant. NU-CATS was shown to outperformed TransPORTEC model for estimating risk of FIGO Stage I/II disease progression and survival in BOAA EC patients. CONCLUSION Despite adjusting for molecular classification, race and age retain prognostic importance in EC. NU-CATS, a ML-based, cost-effective algorithm, incorporates diverse clinicopathologic and molecular variables of EC, and yields superior prognostication of the risk of nodal involvement, distant metastasis, disease progression, and overall survival as compared to other classification systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) High-risk low-grade glioma (LGG) patients are recommended to undergo adjuvant radiotherapy whereas watchful waiting is recommended for low-risk LGG patients per the latest NCCN guidelines. Based on Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 9802, high-risk features include age >40 or subtotal resection (STR). However, in the era of molecular-based classification for tumors of central neural system, current risk classification criteria based on gross disease and patient demographics may be outdated. Here, we aim to develop a molecular-based glioma risk classification system (GlioPredictor) that could potentially facilitate identification of high-risk LGG patients. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 507 LGG cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas-low grade glioma (TCGA-LGG), and 1,309 cases from AACR GENIE v13.0 datasets were studied for genetic disparities between IDH1-wildtype and mutated cohorts, and varying age groups. Through a feature selection technique using genomic profiling and correlation analyses, features such as mutation status, copy number variations (CNVs), among other clinicopathologic features prognostic of IDH1 mutation status were selected as potential inputs to train an artificial neural networks (ANNs) that could predict IDH1 mutation status. Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) dataset (n = 404) for LGG was used to cross-validate the trained ANN. The optimized ANN model has 6 layers with 6 input nodes, 20 hidden nodes, and a binary output layer. The weights and biases of the hidden layers of the best-performing model were retrieved and reconstructed to yield the GlioPredictor score-the predicted risk of progression for IDH1-wildtype LGG. RESULTS Over 81% of glioma patients age less than 40 have IDH1 mutation, as compared with 31% in those age above 60. Using age > 40 as a cutoff failed to identify high-risk IDH1-mutant LGG with early progression. IDH1 mutation is associated with decreased CNVs of EGFR (21 % vs. 3%), CDKN2A (20% vs. 6%) and PTEN (14% vs. 1.7%), and increased percentage of mutations for TP53 (15% vs. 63%), and ATRX (10% vs. 54%) (p<0.001). Using these molecular features, along with the patient's age, an ANN model with 6 layers and 20 hidden nodes can predict IDH1 mutation status with over 90% accuracy and AUC score over 0.91. CONCLUSION We have developed an ANN model that is capable of learning the prognostic features of LGG associated with an IDH1-mutated LGG cohort and using the features to predict high-risk patients from the IDH1-wildtype cohort. This ANN model facilitates the selection of LGG patients who could benefit from immediate adjuvant radiotherapy. Future work includes the integration of image features to improve the prediction performance of the GlioPredictor system.

Abstract
Wolfram syndrome 1 (WS1) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease. The condition is also known as 'diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus (DM), optic atrophy (OA) and deafness', with early onset DM and OA as the usual initial manifestations in childhood. The present study reports a case of WS1 in a 3.5-year-old boy. The clinical characteristics of the patient were collected from medical records. Based on the clinical findings, a diagnosis of renal failure, moderate ammonia and congenital heart disease was considered. A diagnosis of WS1 was also suspected, as an abnormal plasma glucose level and retinitis pigmentosa were found. Whole exome sequencing was therefore performed for the differential diagnosis. Two homozygous variants in the wolframin endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane glycoprotein (WFS1) gene, which were classified as likely pathogenic variants, were found and then confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The variants in WFS1 were the molecular basis of WS1. This study shows the importance of genetic diagnosis in such cases.

Abstract
Background Surgical cerebral revascularization is recommended for treating pediatric moyamoya disease (MMD). However, whether unilateral combined bypass surgery can cause disease progression on the contralateral side is uncertain. The study aimed to investigate the vascular architecture and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) status of patients with pediatric MMD after successful unilateral combined bypass surgery and to identify the possible risk factors. Methods Pediatric patients diagnosed with MMD and admitted to Xuanwu Hospital who underwent combined bypass surgery between 2019 and 2021 were enrolled. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with arterial spin labeling (ASL) were performed to investigate the vascular architecture and rCBF during surgery and at short-term follow-up. Suzuki's angiographic staging and moyamoya vessel grading system were both used. Progression was defined as an increase in either Suzuki stage or moyamoya vessel grade detected after unilateral surgery. All analyses were performed with conventional statistic methods. Results A total of 27 successive patients with a median age of 8 [interquartile range (IQR), 5-14] years old were identified. On the non-operated (non-OP) side, 11 (40.7%) patients demonstrated progression, all of whom showed an increase in the moyamoya vessel grade, and 5 also displayed Suzuki stage progression during the median 4.7 (IQR, 3.7-5.7) months follow-up. However, rCBF barely changed on the non-OP side compared to preoperation [preoperation: median, 49.6, (IQR, 42.9-61.1) mL/100 g/min; postoperation: median, 50.2, (IQR, 43.5-59.3) mL/100 g/min; P=0.445]. Conclusions Combined bypass surgery might accelerate the radiological progression on the contralateral side, which occurs before the decline of rCBF. Those with earlier Suzuki stage MMD of the non-OP side are prone to rapid progression after unilateral combined revascularization.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To assess the feasibility of adding bevacizumab consolidation into hypo-fractionated concurrent chemoradiotherapy (hypo-CCRT) in patients with unresectable locally advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NS-NSCLC). MATERIALS/METHODS Eligible patients were treated with hypo-RT (40 Gy in 10 fractions) followed by hypo-boost (24-28 Gy in 6-7 fractions) combined with concurrent weekly chemotherapy. Patients completed the hypo-CCRT without≥G2 toxicities then received consolidation bevacizumab every 3 weeks for up to 1 year, or disease progression or unacceptable treatment related toxicities. The primary endpoint was the risk of G4 or higher hemorrhage. The secondary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), locoregional failure-free survival (LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and objective response rate (ORR). All time-to-event endpoints (OS, PFS, LRFS and DMFS) were measured from the start of radiotherapy. RESULTS From December 2017 to July 2020, a total of 27 patients were analyzed with a median follow-up duration of 28.0 months. One patient (3.7%) developed G5 hemorrhage during bevacizumab consolidation. Besides, there were 7 patients (25.9%) had G3 cough and 3 patients (11.1%) had G3 pneumonitis. The ORR was 92.6% of the whole cohort. The median OS was 37.0 months (95% confidence interval, 8.9-65.1 months), the median PFS was 16.0 months (95% confidence interval, 14.0-18.0 months), the median LRFS was not reached and the median DMFS was 18.0 months. CONCLUSION This pilot study met its goal of demonstrating the tolerability of consolidation bevacizumab after hypo-CCRT. Further investigation of antiangiogenic and immunotherapy combinations in LA-NSCLC is warranted while G3 respiratory toxicities is worth considering.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Sarcopenia, characterized by loss of muscle mass, plays a critical role in patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). Preoperative chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy in ESCC patients has been reported to improve survival. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative sarcopenia for toxicity and pathological tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in ESCC patients. MATERIALS/METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed using a prospectively collected patient cohort of an academic cancer center diagnosed with cT2-4N0-3M0 ESCC between 2019-2022 and treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy ± pembrolizumab. Sarcopenia was assessed by skeletal muscle index at the third lumbar vertebra in computed tomography scans before NAT (men: 43cm²/m² for body mass index (BMI) < 25kg/m², 53cm²/m² for BMI≥25 kg/m²; women: 41cm²/m²). Logistic regression was performed to assess the association between sarcopenia and preoperative therapy-related toxicity and tumor response. RESULTS The study included 59 locally advanced ESCC patients (53 male and 6 female), 48 (81.4%) in the non-sarcopenia group, and 11 (18.6%) in the sarcopenia group. Mean age at diagnosis was 62±8 years. Mean BMI at diagnosis was 22.13±2.85 kg/m². 19 patients (32.2%) were stage ⅢA, 25 patients (42.4%) were ⅢB, 15 patients (25.4%) were ⅣA. No significant differences were found between both groups regarding sex, age, BMI, and clinical stage. Acute grade ≥3 toxicity occurred significantly more frequently in the sarcopenia group (54.5% vs. 22.9%, p = 0.045), which mainly included leukopenia, neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia. The discontinuation of NAT owing to toxicity occurred in 8 patients (13.5%), which was significantly associated with sarcopenia (p = 0.003). All patients proceeded to surgery and 33 patients (55.9%) had a pathological complete response (pCR). Univariate analysis revealed no significant association between sarcopenia and pCR (p = 0.071). CONCLUSION Among patients with locally advanced EC, sarcopenia is not a predictor of poor NAT response, but it is strongly associated with discontinuation of NAT due to toxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the early clinical outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy with continuous interposition of jejunal cis-peristaltic dual-channel anastomosis and esophagogastric anastomosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 130 patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of proximal gastric cancer in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College between June 2018 and October 2022 was conducted. Continuous interposition jejunal double-channel anastomosis (double-tract anastomosis) was used in 71 patients and esophagogastric anastomosis (esophagogastrostomy) in 59 patients. The basic clinical data, preoperative and postoperative clinical test indexes, postoperative complications and improvement of symptoms compared to preoperative ones, basic nutritional status and Visick classification of esophageal reflux symptoms at 6 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. Postoperative contrast images of patients in the continuous interposition jejunal double-tract group were collected and analyzed for the ratio of contrast agent remaining in the stomach to that remaining in the small intestinal channel. RESULTS A total of 130 cases meeting the criteria were included in this study, including 71 cases involving the double-tract (DT) anastomosis method and 59 cases involving the esophagogastrostomy (EG) anastomosis method. There was no significant difference in preoperative information and perioperative safety between the two groups. Visick score of the DT group was significantly better than that of the EG group. CONCLUSIONS Double-tract jejunal anastomosis can effectively improve esophageal reflux symptoms after proximal gastrectomy. At the same time, its anastomotic method also improves the nutritional status in the short term compared to the esophagogastric anastomosis and is a more ideal procedure for reconstructing the digestive tract after proximal gastrectomy.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by an unfavorable prognosis due to the presence of self-renewing leukemic stem cells (LSCs). The presence of T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) on the surface of LSCs has been observed in various types of human AML, exerting an impact on the prognostic outcome. Exploring the hub genes associated with varying levels of TIM-3 expression offers a valuable approach to enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms involving TIM-3 and to identify potential prognostic indicators in AML. Nevertheless, to date, no research studies have reported a prognostic model that relies on the level of TIM-3 expression. In our study, we screen the hub-genes based on different expression level of TIM-3 through WGCNA. The prognostic risk-scoring model was constructed based on hub-genes. The results show the risk prognostic model has extraordinary ability to predict prognosis in both the training and validation sets. The high-risk group present poor prognosis with mutation of NPM1, TP53 (Multiple Hit) and FLT3(multiple hit), while IDH2 (Missense Mutation), MUC16 (Multiple Hit/Missense Mutation) occur mutation in low-risk group presenting favorite prognosis than high-risk group. Leukocyte cell-cell adhesion, regulation of T cell activation and I-κB kinase/NF-κB signaling enriched in high-risk group, involving in HSCs or LSCs anchoring to BM, which implicated in LSCs survival and chemotherapy resistance. B7-H3 (CD276) and CD276 would be the potential immune targets in high-risk group. The risk score model may help in distinguishing immune and molecular characteristics, predicting patient outcomes.

Abstract
During cold exposure, activated brown adipose tissue (BAT) takes up a large amount of circulating glucose to fuel non-shivering thermogenesis and defend against hypothermia. However, little is known about the endocrine function of BAT controlling glucose homoeostasis under this thermoregulatory challenge. Here, we show that in male mice, activated BAT-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) reprogram systemic glucose metabolism by promoting hepatic gluconeogenesis during cold stress. Cold exposure facilitates the selective packaging of miR-378a-3p-one of the BAT-enriched miRNAs-into EVs and delivery into the liver. BAT-derived miR-378a-3p enhances gluconeogenesis by targeting p110α. miR-378 KO mice display reduced hepatic gluconeogenesis during cold exposure, while restoration of miR-378a-3p in iBAT induces the expression of gluconeogenic genes in the liver. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of BDEV-miRNA as stress-induced batokine to coordinate systemic glucose homoeostasis. This miR-378a-3p-mediated interorgan communication highlights a novel endocrine function of BAT in preventing hypoglycemia during cold stress.

Abstract
SCOPE Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein I (HNRNP I) is an RNA-binding protein essential for neonatal immune adaptation by downregulating interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK1) in toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated NF-κB signaling pathways. TLR-mediated NF-κB is associated with chronic inflammation, including the development of inflammatory bowel diseases. Therefore, dietary protein intake is one of the major concerns for individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases. The present study aims to investigate the effects of a protein-enriched diet on intestinal inflammation and immune responses in a mouse model with aberrant NF-κB signaling in the colon. METHODS AND RESULTS A transgenic mouse model with intestinal-epithelial-cell (IEC) specific Hnrnp I knocked out was used to investigate the effects of protein intake on the immune system in the colon. A control diet (CON) and a nutrient-dense modified diet (MOD) were fed to both the wild-type (WT) and the knockout (KO) male mice for 14 weeks. Inflammatory markers and colonic immune responses were examined, with gene expression and protein expression levels analyzed. IEC-specific Hnrnp I knocked out mice had significantly increased expression of the active NF-κB subunit, P65, in their colons. There was a concomitant induction of mRNA expression of Il1β, Il6, Cxcl1, and Ccl2. The number of CD4+ T cells in the distal colon was also increased in the KO mice. The results confirmed that KO mice had pro-inflammatory responses with aberrant NF-κB signaling in the colon. Importantly, increased nutrient density in their diets attenuated colon inflammation by decreasing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing P65 translocation, downregulating IRAK1, and limiting the number of CD4+ T cells recruited in Hnrnp I KO mice colon. CONCLUSION A diet with increased nutrient density relieved the inflammation induced by knockout of Hnrnp I, attributable partially to the reduced expression of inflammatory and immune-modulating cytokines in the mouse distal colon.

Abstract
Direct asymmetric reductive amination of bio-based levulinic acid (LA) to the enantioenriched 5-methylpyrrolidinone is achieved by using a readily available chiral Ru/bisphosphine catalyst with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 96 % ee) and high isolated yield (up to 89 %). Methyl levulinate (ML), a byproduct from the industrial production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), can be used instead of LA with similar reactivity and selectivity. Mass spectrometry and isotope labelling studies indicate that the chiral lactam is formed via imine-enamine tautomerization/cyclization followed by asymmetric hydrogenation of the cyclic enamide.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the etiology, prevention and treatment status, and their corresponding regional differences of the patients with liver cirrhosis in China, in order to provide scientific basis for the development of diagnosis and control strategies in China. Methods: Clinical data of patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis for the first time through January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 from 50 hospitals in seven different regions of China were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and the difference of etiology, treatment, and their differences in various regions were analyzed. Results: A total of 11 861 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in the study. Thereinto, 5 093 cases (42.94%) were diagnosed as compensated cirrhosis, and 6 768 cases (57.06%) had decompensated cirrhosis. Notably, 8 439 cases (71.15%) were determined as chronic hepatitis B-caused cirrhosis, 1 337 cases (11.27%) were alcoholic liver disease, 963 cases (8.12%) were chronic hepatitis C, 698 cases (5.88%) were autoimmune liver disease, 367 cases (3.09%) were schistosomiasis, 177 cases (1.49%) were nonalcoholic fatty liver, and 743 cases (6.26%) of other types of liver disease. There were significant differences in the incidence of chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver, schistosomiasis liver disease, and autoimmune liver disease among the seven regions (P<0.001). Only 1 139 cases (9.60%) underwent endoscopic therapy, thereinto, 718 cases (6.05%) underwent surgical therapy, and 456 cases (3.84%) underwent interventional therapy treatment. In patients with compensated liver cirrhosis, 60 cases (0.51%) underwent non-selective β receptor blockers(NSBB), including 59 cases (0.50%) underwent propranolol and 1 case (0.01%) underwent carvedilol treatment. In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, 310 cases (2.61%) underwent NSBB treatment, including 303 cases (2.55%) underwent propranolol treatment and 7 cases (0.06%) underwent carvedilol treatment. Interestingly, there were significant differences in receiving endoscopic therapy, interventional therapy, NSBB therapy, splenectomy and other surgical treatments among the seven regions (P<0.001). Conclusion: Currently, chronic hepatitis B is the main cause (71.15%) of liver cirrhosis in several regions of China, and alcoholic liver disease has become the second cause (11.27%) of liver cirrhosis in China. The three-level prevention and control of cirrhosis in China should be further strengthened.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal carcinoma (CRC) do not respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Preclinical models suggested synergistic anti-tumour activity combining CXD101 and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 treatment; therefore, we assessed the clinical combination of CXD101 and nivolumab in heavily pre-treated patients with MSS metastatic CRC (mCRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS This single-arm, open-label study enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with biopsy-confirmed MSS CRC; at least two lines of systemic anticancer therapies (including oxaliplatin and irinotecan); at least one measurable lesion; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 1 or 2; predicted life expectancy above 3 months; and adequate organ and bone marrow function. Nine patients were enrolled in a safety run-in study to define a tolerable combination schedule of CXD101 and nivolumab, followed by 46 patients in the efficacy assessment phase. Patients in the efficacy assessment cohort were treated orally with 20 mg CXD101 twice daily for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks, and intravenously with 240 mg nivolumab every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was immune disease control rate (iDCR). RESULTS Between 2018 and 2020, 55 patients were treated with CXD101 and nivolumab. The combination therapy was well tolerated with the most frequent grade 3 or 4 adverse events being neutropenia (18%) and anaemia (7%). Immune-related adverse reactions commonly ascribed to checkpoint inhibitors were surprisingly rare although we did see single cases of pneumonitis, hypothyroidism and hypopituitarism. There were no treatment-related deaths. Of 46 patients assessable for efficacy, 4 (9%) achieved partial response and 18 (39%) achieved stable disease, translating to an immune disease control rate of 48%. The median overall survival (OS) was 7.0 months (95% confidence interval 5.13-10.22 months). CONCLUSIONS The primary endpoint was met in this phase II study, which showed that the combination of CXD101 and nivolumab, at full individual doses in the treatment of advanced or metastatic MSS CRC, was both well tolerated and efficacious.

Abstract
The tailoring of intrinsic electronic structures and extrinsic hierarchical morphologies is widely recognized as a promising strategy to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of electrocatalysts. It is generally accepted that the surface of the transition metal-based electrocatalyst exposed to the alkaline electrolyte is highly oxidized and reconstructed, forming an amorphous layer during the electrochemical process. This amorphous active phase is favorable for OER due to its abundant dangling bonds, vacancies and defects, which is tricky to be rationally prepared by conventional methods. Herein, a facile access to crystalline / amorphous NiOx microbelt superstructure of core-shell nanoparticles is presented, which is assembled of crystalline NiO nanoparticles coated with amorphous Ni3+/Ni2+ oxide layer. Electrochemical activation induces the in-situ surface reconstruction of the NiOx microbelt superstructure, resulting in a thicker outer amorphous Ni3+/Ni2+ layer further facilitating OER. Owing to the optimization of the in-situ surface reconstruction, the NiOx microbelt superstructure with crystalline / amorphous dual phases exhibited both high electrocatalytic activity and superior durability for OER, with the original microbelt superstructure retained after 50000 s I-t test.

Abstract
The design of electrode internal structure plays an important role in improving the performance of micro-supercapacitors (MSCs). However, the complexity of the program hinders the development and application of Three-dimensional(3D)-printed MSCs. Herein, printable inks were prepared by using vanadium pentoxide nanowires as active materials, carbon nanotubes as collector and conductive agent, graphene oxide as adhesive, scaffold and water retaining agent. Benefiting from the liquid-crystal properties of materials and 3D printing technology as well as the adjustment of the materials proportion, onion-like structures with ordered porous layered structure and uniform electric-field-strength MSCs were constructed. The 3D-printed MSC has fine area capacitance (34.68 mF cm-2) and area energy density (1.73 µWh cm-2 at a current density of 0.24 mA cm-2). Therefore, using the unique characteristics of materials to build an efficient 3D printing strategy is expected to provide a feasible solution for the construction of various MSCs and other high-energy storage systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An otoacoustic emission (OAE) is a low-level sound emitted by the cochlea. OAEs are able to objectively evaluate the auditory perception and reflect the functional status of the auditory system. With the characteristics of non-invasiveness, high reliability, and easy manipulation, OAEs have gained wide popularity in clinical audiology and anesthesiology. This review aims to summarize the application of OAE in anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study collected data from the databases Web of Science-Clarivate Analytics, PubMed, and Google Scholar in English, covering research in the last 40 years. The keywords were defined as anesthesia, cochlea, OAEs, distortion product otoacoustic emissions, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions, bispectral index, auditory evoked potentials, and depth of anesthesia. Documents that matched defined keywords were selected and reviewed. RESULTS Research showed that the types and doses of anesthetic drugs impacted OAEs. Ketamine-based anesthesia has a greater effect on OAE sensitivity over time compared to isoflurane. A higher dose of ketamine-xylazine significantly reduced the amplitude of OAEs. According to those characteristics, OAEs could be used as an objective evaluation method for the effect of anesthetics and have great potential to be applied for anesthetic drug dose control during surgery. OAEs also have been used to detect the cochlear function during anesthesia, which may cause irreversible damage to the cochlea. CONCLUSIONS Studies reported that OAEs have been used in anesthesia. However, the existing studies have mainly focused on the influence of anesthetic types or dosages on OAEs. Considering the characteristics of OAEs, such as a convenient measurement, less susceptibility to interference, and fast detection speed, the application of OAE has a great potential in the anesthesia field.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of high risk factors questionnaire (HRFQ), Asia-Pacific colorectal screening (APCS) score and their combinations with fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in screening advanced colorectal neoplasia, in order to provide an evidence for further optimization of cancer screening program. Methods: A retrospective cohort study method was used to summarize and analyze the results of colorectal tumor screening in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province from March 2017 to July 2018. Those with severe diseases that were not suitable for colonoscopy and those with mental and behavioral abnormalities who can not cooperate with the screening were excluded. Those who met any one or more of the followings in the HRFQ questionnaire were classified as high-risk people of HRFQ: (1) first-degree relatives with a history of colorectal cancer; (2) subjects with a history of cancer or any other malignant tumor; (3) subjects with a history of intestinal polyps; (4) those with two or more of the followings: chronic constipation (constipation lasted for more than 2 months per year in the past two years), chronic diarrhea (diarrhea lasted for more than 3 months in the past two years, and the duration of each episode was more than one week), mucus and bloody stools, history of adverse life events (occurring within the past 20 years and causing greater trauma or distress to the subject after the event), history of chronic appendicitis or appendectomy, history of chronic biliary disease or cholecystectomy. In this study, those who were assessed as high risk by HRFQ were recorded as "HRFQ (+)", and those who were not at high risk were recorded as "HRFQ (-)". The APCS questionnaire provided risk scores based on 4 risk factors including age, gender, family history and smoking: (1) age: 2 points for 50-69 years old, 3 points for 70 years old and above; (2) gender: 1 point for male, 0 point for women; (3) family history: 2 points for first-degree relatives suffering from colorectal cancer; (4) smoking: 1 point for current or past smoking, 0 point for non-smokers. The population was divided into low-risk (0-1 point), intermediate-risk (2-3 points), and high-risk (4-7 points). Those who were assessed as high risk by APCS were recorded as "APCS (+)", and those with intermediate and low risk were recorded as "APCS (-)". The hemoglobin threshold for a positive FIT was set to 100 μg/L. Those who were assessed as high risk by APCS with positive FIT were recorded as "APCS+FIT (+)". Those who were assessed as high risk by APCS with negative FIT, those who were assessed by APCS as low-middle risk with positive FIT, and those who were assessed by APCS as low-middle with negative FIT were all recorded as "APCS+FIT(-)". Observation indicators in this study were as follows: (1) the screening compliance rate of the cohort and the detection of advanced colorectal tumors; (2) positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity and specificity of HRFQ and APCS and their combination with FIT for screening advanced colorectal tumors; (3) comparison of the detection rate between HRFQ and APCS questionnaire for different colorectal lesions. Using SPSS 21.0 software, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the clinical value of HRFQ and APCS combined with FIT in screening advanced colorectal tumors. Results: From 2017 to 2018 in Jiashan County, a total of 53 268 target subjects were screened, and 42 093 people actually completed the questionnaire, with a compliance rate of 79.02%. A total of 8145 cases underwent colonoscopy. A total of 3607 cases among HRFQ positive population (5320 cases) underwent colonoscopy, and the colonoscopy compliance rate was 67. 80%; 8 cases were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 88 cases were advanced colorectal adenoma. A total of 2977 cases among APCS positive population (11 942 cases) underwent colonoscopy, and the colonoscopy compliance rate was 24.93%; 17 cases were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 148 cases were advanced colorectal adenoma. The positive rate of HRFQ screening was lower than that of APCS [12.6% (5320/42 093) vs. 28.4% (11 942/42 093), χ2=3195. 547, P<0.001]. In the FIT positive population (6223 cases), a total of 4894 cases underwent colonoscopy, and the colonoscopy compliance rate was 78.64%; 34 cases were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 224 cases were advanced adenoma. The positive predictive values of HRFQ and APCS and their combination with FIT for screening advanced colorectal tumors were 2.67%, 5.54%, 5.44%, and 8.56%; negative predictive values were 94.89%, 96.85%, 96.11% and 96.99%; sensitivity was 29.27%, 50.30%, 12.20 % and 39.02%; specificity was 55.09%, 64.03%, 91.11% and 82.51%, respectively. The ROC curves constructed by HRFQ, APCS, FIT, HRFQ+FIT and APCS+FIT indicated that APCS+FIT presented the highest efficacy in screening advanced colorectal tumors (AUC: 0.608, 95%CI: 0.574-0.642). The comparison of the detection rates of different colorectal lesions between HRFQ and APCS questionnaires showed that there were no significant differences in detection rate of inflammatory polyps and hyperplastic polyps between the two questionnaires (both P>0.05). However, as compared to HRFQ questionnaire, APCS questionnaire had higher detection rates in non-advanced adenomas [26.10% (777/2977) vs. 19.43% (701/3607), χ2=51.228, P<0.001], advanced adenoma [4.97% (148/2977) vs. 2.44% (88/3607), χ2=30.249, P<0.001] and colorectal cancer [0.57% (17 /2977) vs. 0.22% (8/3607), χ2=5.259, P=0.022]. Conclusions: APCS has a higher detection rate of advanced colorectal tumors than HRFQ. APCS combined with FIT can further improve the effectiveness of advanced colorectal tumor screening.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a novel strategy to fabricate nickel silicate nanoflakes inside hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (Ni3Si2O5(OH)4/C). Hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCSs) can well regulate and limit the growth of Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 nanosheets, which obviously enhance the structural stability and conductivity of the composites. The core-shell Ni3Si2O5(OH)4/C superstructure has been proven to possess an extremely excellent electrosorption capacity of 28.7 mg g-1 at 1.2 V under a NaCl concentration of 584 mg L-1 for capacitive deionization (CDI). This outstanding property can be attributed to the core-shell superstructure with ultrathin Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 nanosheets as the stable core and mesoporous carbon as the conductive shell. This work will provide a direction for the application of core-shell superstructure carbon-based nanomaterials as high-performance electrode materials for CDI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In preeclampsia (PE), inadequate remodelling of spiral arterioles in the decidua basalis causes oxidative stress and subsequent increased release of antiangiogenic soluble endoglin (sENG) into the maternal circulation. Decidual mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (DMSCs) reside adjacent to endothelial cells in this vascular niche. Surprisingly, DMSCs express membrane-bound ENG (CD105). PE-affected DMSCs (PE-DMSCs) are abnormal and due to reduced extravillous invasion, more of them are present, but the significance of this is not known. METHODS DMSCs were isolated and characterised from normotensive control and severe-PE placentae. Extracellular vesicle (EV) types, shed microvesicles (sMV) and exosomes, were isolated from DMSC conditioned media (DMSCCM), respectively. Secretion of ENG by DMSCs was assessed by ELISA of DMSCCM, with and without EV depletion. The effects of reducing ENG concentration, by blocking antibody, on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) attachment were assessed by xCELLigence real-time functional assays. RESULTS ENG was detected in DMSCCM and these levels significantly decreased when depleted of exosomes and sMV. There was no significant difference in the amount of ENG secreted by control DMSCs and PE-DMSCs. Blocking ENG in concentrated DMSCCM, used to treat HUVECs, improved endothelial cell attachment. DISCUSSION In normotensive pregnancies, DMSC secretion of ENG likely has a beneficial effect on endothelial cells. However, in PE pregnancies, shallow invasion of the spiral arterioles exposes more PE-DMSC derived sources of ENG (soluble and EV). The presence of these PE-DMSCs in the vascular niche contributes to endothelial cell dysfunction.

Abstract
Limited by single metal active sites and low electrical conductivity, designing nickel-based metal-organic framework (MOF) materials with high capacity and high energy density remains a challenge. Herein, a series of bi/multimetallic MOF-74 family materials in situ grown on carbon cloth (CC) by doping Mx+ ions in Ni-MOF-74 is fabricated: NiM-MOF@CC (M = Mn2+ , Co2+ , Cu2+ , Zn2+ , Al3+ , Fe3+ ), and NiCoM-MOF@CC (M = Mn2+ , Zn2+ , Al3+ , Fe3+ ). The type and ratio of doping metal ions can be adjusted while the original topology is preserved. Different metal ions are confirmed by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). Furthermore, these Ni-based MOF electrodes are directly utilized as cathodes for aqueous nickel-zinc batteries (NZBs). Among all the as-prepared electrodes, NiCo-MOF@CC-3 (NCM@CC-3), with an optimized Co/Ni ratio of 1:1, exhibits the best electrical conductivity, which is according to the density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations. The NCM@CC-3//Zn@CC battery achieves a high specific capacity of 1.77 mAh cm-2 , a high areal energy density of 2.97 mWh cm-2 , and high cycling stability of 83% capacity retention rate after 6000 cycles. The synthetic strategy based on the coordination effect of metal ions and the concept of binder-free electrodes provide a new direction for the synthesis of high-performance materials in the energy-storage field.

Abstract
Purpose Tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB) has been proposed to occur more commonly in female patients. However, to date, studies that systematically delineate differences between female and male patients with TB infection are lacking. We aimed to comprehensively assess the sex-specific differences in clinical manifestation, bronchoscopy performance, bacteriological examination, and imaging of TBTB in Shenzhen, China. Methods All patients with diagnosed TBTB from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2021 at The Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen were enrolled in the present study. Demographic information, clinical manifestations, blood tests, chest computed tomography, and bronchoscopic findings were collected, and assessed their sex-specific differences. Results Of these 331 patients, 238 patients (71.9%) were female, and 93 patients (28.1%) were male, with an overall average age of 37.3 years. The average age of male patients with TBTB was more than 5 years older than that of female patients. The prevalence of lymph fistula and diabetes mellitus was significantly higher in male patients than female patients (8.6% vs 1.7%, P = 0.005; 17.2% vs 2.1%, P < 0.001). The positive proportion of sputum smear was higher in male patients (27.9%) than in female patients (16.7%, P = 0.026). Moreover, the mean monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, serum CRP, and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in male patients than in female patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion In summary, in patients with TBTB diagnosis, male sex was associated with a high prevalence of diabetes mellitus, lymph fistula, and smear-positive ratio, as well as high inflammation levels. The management of young female and male patients with diabetes mellitus and high inflammation levels should be strengthened. Furthermore, to reduce the burden of TBTB, we must pay attention to the risk of TBTB in past tuberculosis patients, especially male patients under 45 years old and female patients over 45 years old.

Abstract
BackgroundAccumulating evidence supports an impaired quality of life in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A study reported the patients concerns centred on fatigue[1].ObjectivesWe investigated the effect of belimumab on quality of life in patients with SLE.MethodsSLE patients from Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital treated with belimumab (n=19) or control group (n=22) were included.

Abstract
RUNX2 is a master osteogenic transcription factor, and mutations in RUNX2 cause the inherited skeletal disorder cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). Studies have revealed that RUNX2 is not only a downstream target of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway but can also regulate the expression of BMPs. However, the underlying mechanism of the regulation of BMPs by RUNX2 remains unknown. In this project, we diagnosed a CCD patient with a 7.86-Mb heterozygous deletion on chromosome 6 containing all exons of RUNX2 by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were further extracted from patient alveolar bone fragments (CCD-BMSCs), an excellent natural model to explore the possible mechanism. The osteogenic differentiation ability of CCD-BMSCs was severely affected by RUNX2 heterozygous deletion. Also, BMP4 decreased most in BMP ligands, and CHRDL1, a BMP antagonist, was abnormally elevated in CCD-BMSCs. Furthermore, BMP4 treatment essentially rescued the osteogenic capacity of CCD-BMSCs, and RUNX2 overexpression reversed the abnormal expression of BMP4 and CHRDL1. Notably, we constructed CRISPR/Cas9 Runx2+/m MC3T3-E1 cells, which simulated a variant in CCD-BMSCs, to exclude the interference of other gene deletions and the heterogeneity of the genetic background of primary cells, and verified all findings from the CCD-BMSCs. Moreover, the luciferase reporter experiment showed that RUNX2 could inhibit the transcription of CHRDL1. Through immunofluorescence, the inhibitory effect of CHRDL1 on BMP4/Smad signaling was confirmed in MC3T3-E1 cells. These results revealed that RUNX2 regulated the BMP4 pathway by inhibiting CHRDL1 transcription. We collectively identified a novel RUNX2/CHRDL1/BMP4 axis to regulate osteogenic differentiation and noted that BMP4 might be a valuable therapeutic option for treating bone diseases.

Abstract
Food allergies and other immune-mediated diseases have become serious health concerns amongst infants and children in developed and developing countries. The absence of available cures limits disease management to allergen avoidance and symptomatic treatments. Research has suggested that the presence of maternal food allergies may expose the offspring to genetic predisposition, making them more susceptible to allergen sensitization. The following review has focused on epidemiologic studies regarding maternal influences of proneness to develop food allergy in offspring. The search strategy was “food allergy OR maternal effects OR offspring OR prevention”. A systematically search from PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct and Google Scholar was conducted. Specifically, it discussed the effects of maternal immunity, microbiota, breastfeeding, genotype and allergy exposure on the development of food allergy in offspring. In addition, several commonly utilized prenatal and postpartum strategies to reduce food allergy proneness were presented, including early diagnosis of high-risk infants and various dietary interventions.

Abstract
This paper describes the solution to the problem of scattering of plane incident waves on water of constant depth by a bottom mounted circular cylinder, extending partially through the depth, which has an internal structure comprised of closely spaced thin vertical barriers between which fluid is allowed to flow. The problem is solved under full depth-dependent linearized water wave theory using an effective medium equation to describe the fluid motion in cylinder and effective boundary conditions to match that flow to the fluid region outside the cylinder. The interest in this problem lies in the development of novel solution methods for fully three-dimensional water wave interaction with bathymetric plate arrays. Results computed using this theory are compared with a shallow water approximation based on the recent work of Marangos & Porter (2021 Shallow water theory for structured bathymetry. Proc. R. Soc. A477, 20210421.) and with accurate computations of an exact representation of the geometry using a discrete set of plates. Other results highlight the resonant directional lensing effects of this type of cylindrical plate array device.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between urinary complement proteins and renal outcome in biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS Untargeted proteomic and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional analyses and targeted proteomic analysis using parallel reaction-monitoring (PRM)-mass spectrometry was performed to determine the abundance of urinary complement proteins in healthy controls, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and patients with T2DM and biopsy-proven DN. The abundance of each urinary complement protein was individually included in Cox proportional hazards models for predicting progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). RESULTS Untargeted proteomic and functional analysis using the KEGG showed that differentially expressed urinary proteins were primarily associated with the complement and coagulation cascades. Subsequent urinary complement proteins quantification using PRM showed that urinary abundances of C3, C9, and complement factor H (CFAH) correlated negatively with annual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, while urinary abundances of C5, decay-accelerating factor (DAF), and CD59 correlated positively with annual rate of eGFR decline. Furthermore, higher urinary abundance of CFAH and lower urinary abundance of DAF were independently associated with greater risk of progression to ESRD. Urinary abundance of CFAH and DAF had a larger area under the curve (AUC) than that of eGFR, proteinuria, or any pathological parameter. Moreover, the model that included CFAH or DAF had a larger AUC than that with only clinical or pathological parameters. CONCLUSION Urinary abundance of complement proteins was significantly associated with ESRD in patients with T2DM and biopsy-proven DN, indicating that therapeutically targeting the complement pathway may alleviate progression of DN.

Abstract
Understanding how organelles interact, exchange materials, assemble, disassemble, and evolve as a function of space, time, and environment is an exciting area at the very forefront of chemical and cell biology. Here, we bring attention to recent progress in the design and application of lipid-based tools to visualize and interrogate organelles in live cells, especially at super resolution. We highlight strategies that rely on modification of natural lipids or lipid-like small molecules ex cellula, where organelle specificity is provided by the structure of the chemically modified lipid, or in cellula using cellular machinery, where an enzyme labels the lipid in situ. We also describe recent improvements to the chemistry upon which lipid probes rely, many of which have already begun to broaden the scope of biological questions that can be addressed by imaging organelle membranes at the nanoscale.

Abstract
The protection and regeneration of the water environment is currently one of the most critical concerns for the sustainable development of human society. To solve the water crisis, the use of capacitive deionization (CDI) technology to extract fresh-water that is suitable for human consumption from abundant surface-water is a feasible solution. In this work, a cobalt benzimidazole frameworks (ZIF-9) derived carbon composites with a unique quasi-microcubic morphology is synthesized and used the as-prepared materials as an electrode material for the CDI. Interestingly, the ZIF-9 derived carbon composites exhibit an impressive desalination capacity of 55.4 mg g-1 and can be reused. Measurements in surface-water (Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Slender West Lake, Initial rainwater, Rain water) show that this CDI technology based on ZIF-9 derived carbon composites not only has a strong adsorption effect on metal ions but also can remarkably kill microorganisms. The results show that the technology can effectively kill bacteria (Escherichia coli and Bacillus) and algae with 95% and 91.7% inhibition rates, respectively. This work provides a valuable example for the use of metal-organic framework-derived carbon composites as high-performance electrode materials of CDI and opens a new direction for promoting the application of CDI in surface-water.

Abstract
MXenes have attracted great interests as supercapacitors due to their metallic conductivity, high density, and hydrophilic nature. Herein we report Ti3 C2 -Cu/Co hybrids via molten salt etching in which the existence of metal atoms and their interactions with MXene via surficial O atoms were elucidated by XAFS for the first time. The electrochemical investigation of Ti3 C2 -Cu electrode demonstrated the pseudocapacitive contribution of Cu and a splendid specific capacitance of 885.0 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 in 1.0 M H2 SO4 . Symmetric supercapacitor Ti3 C2 -Cu//Ti3 C2 -Cu was demonstrated with operating voltage of 1.6 V, areal capacitance of 290.5 mF cm-2 at 1 mA cm-2 , and stability over 10 000 cycles. It delivered an areal energy density of 103.3 μWh cm-2 at power density of 0.8 mW cm-2 , based on which a supercapacitor pouch was fabricated. It provides deeper insights into the molten salt mechanism and strategies for designing MXene-based materials for electrochemical energy storage.
