Abstract
Objective: To report the long-term outcomes of Chinese rectal cancer patients after adopting a Watch and Wait (W&W) strategy following neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional study was based on real-world data. The study cohort comprised rectal cancer patients who had achieved complete or near complete clinical responses (cCRs, near-cCRs) after NAT and were thereafter managed by a W&W approach, as well as a few patients who had achieved good responses after NAT and had then undergone local excision for confirmation of pathological complete response. All participants had been followed up for ≥2 years. Patients with distant metastases at baseline or who opted for observation while living with the tumor were excluded. Data of eligible patients were retrospectively collected from the Chinese Wait-and-Watch Data Collaboration Group database. These included baseline characteristics, type of NAT, pre-treatment imaging results, evaluation of post-NAT efficacy, salvage measures, and treatment outcomes. We herein report the long-term outcomes of Chinese rectal cancer patients after NAT and W&W and the differences between the cCR and near-cCR groups. Results: Clinical data of 318 rectal cancer patients who had undergone W&W for over 2 years and been followed up were collected from eight medical centers (Peking University Cancer Hospital, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Liaoning Cancer Hospital, the First Hospital of Jilin University, and Yunnan Cancer Hospital.) The participants comprised 221 men (69.4%) and 107 women (30.6%) of median age 60 (26-86) years. The median distance between tumor and anal verge was 3.4 (0-10.4) cm. Of these patients, 291 and 27 had achieved cCR or near-cCR, respectively, after NAT. The median duration of follow-up was 48.4 (10.2-110.3) months. The 5-year cumulative overall survival rate was 92.4% (95%CI: 86.8%-95.7%), 5-year cumulative disease-specific survival (CSS) rate 96.6% (95%CI: 92.2%-98.5%), 5-year cumulative organ-preserving disease-free survival rate 86.6% (95%CI: 81.0%-90.7%), and 5-year organ preservation rate 85.3% (95%CI: 80.3%-89.1%). The overall 5-year local recurrence and distant metastasis rates were 18.5% (95%CI: 14.9%-20.8%) and 8.2% (95%CI: 5.4%-12.5%), respectively. Most local recurrences (82.1%, 46/56) occurred within 2 years, and 91.0% (51/56) occurred within 3 years, the median time to recurrence being 11.7 (2.5-66.6) months. Most (91.1%, 51/56) local recurrences occurred within the intestinal lumen. Distant metastases developed in 23 patients; 60.9% (14/23) occurred within 2 years and 73.9% (17/23) within 3 years, the median time to distant metastasis being 21.9 (2.6-90.3) months. Common sites included lung (15/23, 65.2%), liver (6/23, 26.1%), and bone (7/23, 30.4%) The metastases involved single organs in 17 patients and multiple organs in six. There were no significant differences in overall, cumulative disease-specific, or organ-preserving disease-free survival or rate of metastases between the two groups (all P>0.05). The 5-year local recurrence rate was higher in the near-cCR than in the cCR group (41.6% vs. 16.4%, P<0.01), with a lower organ preservation rate (69.2% vs. 88.0%, P<0.001). The success rates of salvage after local recurrence and distant metastasis were 82.1% (46/56) and 13.0% (3/23), respectively. Conclusion: Rectal cancer patients who achieve cCR or near-cCR after NAT and undergo W&W have favorable oncological outcomes and a high rate of organ preservation. Local recurrence and distant metastasis during W&W follow certain patterns, with a relatively high salvage rate for local recurrence. Our findings highlight the importance of close follow-up and timely intervention during the W&W process.

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

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate the risk of dyspepsia and anorexia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced by glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) hypoglycemic drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched papers in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wanfang, Embase, and VIP databases, and the retrieval time limit was set from the establishment of the database to May 2023. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) were collected in which the subjects were T2DM patients, the intervention was GLP-1RA compared with placebo or traditional hypoglycemic drugs, and the outcome indicators included dyspepsia and anorexia. A meta-analysis and a network meta-analysis were performed. RESULTS The results of the traditional meta-analysis showed that the risk of dyspepsia and anorexia of total GLP-1 RA was 3.01 and 2.56 times that of placebo, respectively. All types of GLP-1RA were compared with placebo and the results also showed a trend towards increased risk of digestive system adverse events (DSAEs). Among all interventions included, liraglutide was the one with the highest risk of dyspepsia in patients with T2DM, and dulaglutide was the one with the highest risk of anorexia. CONCLUSIONS The results of the two meta-analyses are consistent, and both clearly show that GLP-1RA can increase the risk of dyspepsia and anorexia in T2DM patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the short-term efficacy of Kamikawa anastomosis and double-tract reconstruction (DTR) after proximal gastrectomy. Methods: This was a propensity score matched, retrospective, cohort study. Inclusion criteria comprised age 20-70 years, diagnosis of gastric cancer by pathological examination of preoperative endoscopic biopsies, tumor diameter ≤4 cm, and location in the upper 1/3 of the stomach (including the gastroesophageal junction), and TNM stage IA, IB, or IIA. The study cohort comprised 73 patients who had undergone laparoscopic proximal gastric cancer radical surgery in the Department of Gastroenterology, Tangdu Hospital, Air Force Medical University between June 2020 and February 2023, 19 of whom were in the Kamikawa group and 54 in the DTR group. After using R language to match the baseline characteristics of patients in a ratio of 1:2, there were 17 patients in the Kamikawa group and 34 in the DTR group. Surgery-related conditions, postoperative quality of life, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: After propensity score matching, there were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the DTR group, the Kamikawa group had longer operative times (321.5±15.7 minutes vs. 296.8±26.1 minutes, t=32.056, P<0.001), longer anastomosis times (93.0±6.8 minutes vs. 45.3±7.7 minutes, t=56.303, P<0.001), and less bleeding (76 [54~103] mL vs.112 [82~148) mL, Z=71.536, P<0.001); these differences are statistically significant. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in tumor size, time to first postoperative passage of gas, postoperative hospital stay, number of lymph nodes removed, duration of lymph node dissection, or total hospitalization cost (all P>0.05). The median follow-up time was 6.1 ± 1.8 months. As to postoperative quality of life, the Kamikawa group had a lower rate of upper gastrointestinal contrast reflux than did the DTR group (0 vs. 29.4% [10/34], χ2=6.220, P=0.013); this difference is statistically significant. However, differences between the two groups in quality of life score on follow-up of 3 months and 6 months on the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) scale were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was 2/17 in the Kamikawa group, which is significantly lower than the 41.2% (14/34) in the DTR group (χ2=4.554, P=0.033). Conclusion: Kamikawa anastomosis and DTR are equally safe and effective procedures for reconstructing the digestive tract after proximal gastric surgery. Although Kamikawa anastomosis takes slightly longer and places higher demands on the surgical team, it is more effective at preventing postoperative reflux.

Abstract
Accurate identification of small tea buds is a key technology for tea harvesting robots, which directly affects tea quality and yield. However, due to the complexity of the tea plantation environment and the diversity of tea buds, accurate identification remains an enormous challenge. Current methods based on traditional image processing and machine learning fail to effectively extract subtle features and morphology of small tea buds, resulting in low accuracy and robustness. To achieve accurate identification, this paper proposes a small object detection algorithm called STF-YOLO (Small Target Detection with Swin Transformer and Focused YOLO), which integrates the Swin Transformer module and the YOLOv8 network to improve the detection ability of small objects. The Swin Transformer module extracts visual features based on a self-attention mechanism, which captures global and local context information of small objects to enhance feature representation. The YOLOv8 network is an object detector based on deep convolutional neural networks, offering high speed and precision. Based on the YOLOv8 network, modules including Focus and Depthwise Convolution are introduced to reduce computation and parameters, increase receptive field and feature channels, and improve feature fusion and transmission. Additionally, the Wise Intersection over Union loss is utilized to optimize the network. Experiments conducted on a self-created dataset of tea buds demonstrate that the STF-YOLO model achieves outstanding results, with an accuracy of 91.5% and a mean Average Precision of 89.4%. These results are significantly better than other detectors. Results show that, compared to mainstream algorithms (YOLOv8, YOLOv7, YOLOv5, and YOLOx), the model improves accuracy and F1 score by 5-20.22 percentage points and 0.03-0.13, respectively, proving its effectiveness in enhancing small object detection performance. This research provides technical means for the accurate identification of small tea buds in complex environments and offers insights into small object detection. Future research can further optimize model structures and parameters for more scenarios and tasks, as well as explore data augmentation and model fusion methods to improve generalization ability and robustness.

Abstract
Humans were exposed to multiple metals, but the impact of metals on DNA methylation-age (DNAm-age), a well-recognized aging measure, remains inconclusive. This study included 2942 participants from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. We detected their plasma concentrations of 23 metals and determined their genome-wide DNA methylation using the Illumina Human-MethylationEPIC BeadChip. Five DNAm-age acceleration indexes (DAIs), including HannumAge-Accel, HorvathAge-Accel, PhenoAge-Accel, GrimAge-Accel (residual from regressing corresponding DNAm-age on chronological age) and DNAm-mortality score (DNAm-MS), were separately calculated. We found that each 1-unit increase in ln-transformed copper (Cu) was associated with a separate 1.02-, 0.83- and 0.07-unit increase in PhenoAge-Accel, GrimAge-Accel, and DNAm-MS (all FDR<0.05). Each 1-unit increase in ln-transformed nickel (Ni) was associated with a 0.34-year increase in PhenoAge-Accel, while each 1-unit increase in ln-transformed strontium (Sr) was associated with a 0.05-unit increase in DNAm-MS. The Cu, Ni and Sr showed joint positive effects on above three DAIs. PhenoAge-Accel, GrimAge-Accel, and DNAm-MS mediated a separate 6.5%, 12.3%, 6.0% of the positive association between Cu and all-cause mortality; GrimAge-Accel mediated 14.3% of the inverse association of selenium with all-cause mortality. Our findings revealed the effects of Cu, Ni, Sr and their co-exposure on accelerated aging and highlighted mediation roles of DNAm-age on metal-associated mortality.

Abstract
AIM To establish the diagnostic value of the quantitative parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with conventional MRI in differentiating of benign and malignant lacrimal gland epithelial tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumours confirmed by histopathology was conducted. Conventional MRI features and DCE-MRI quantitative parameters were collected and subjected to analysis. The diagnostic value was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS A total of 53 patients were enrolled of which 29 had malignant, whereas 24 had benign tumours. Conventional MRI revealed statistically significant differences between benign and malignant tumours regarding maximum tumour diameter, posterior margin characteristic, bone destruction, and erosion. The Ktrans and Kep values obtained by DCE-MRI were higher in malignant than in benign tumours, with a statistically significant (p<0.001 and p=0.022). A type I time-signal intensity (TIC) curve was more frequent in benign tumours, whereas a type II TIC curve was prevalent in malignant tumours (p=0.001). ROC analysis showed that Ktrans had the best diagnostic value of the DCE-MRI parameters (area under the ROC curve [AUC] of 0.822, 75.9% sensitivity, and 83.3% specificity, p<0.001). The combination of conventional MRI and DCE-MRI factors had the best diagnostic value and balanced sensitivity and specificity (AUC of 0.948, 93.1% sensitivity, and 91.7% specificity, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present findings indicate that the combination of quantitative parameters of DCE-MRI and image characteristics of conventional MRI have a high diagnostic value for the diagnosis of benign and malignant lacrimal gland epithelial tumours.

Abstract
Epidemiologic studies have reported the positive relationship of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) exposure with the risk of lung cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the relationship is still unclear. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) is a typical epigenetic biomarker that was linked to environment exposure and lung cancer development. We aimed to reveal the mediation effect of plasma miRNAs on BaP-related lung cancer. We designed a lung cancer case-control study including 136 lung cancer patients and 136 controls, and measured the adducts of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide-albumin (BPDE-Alb) and sequenced miRNA profiles in plasma. The relationships between BPDE-Alb adducts, normalized miRNA levels and the risk of lung cancer were assessed by linear regression models. The mediation effects of miRNAs on BaP-related lung cancer were investigated. A total of 190 plasma miRNAs were significantly related to lung cancer status at Bonferroni adjusted P < 0.05, among which 57 miRNAs showed different levels with |fold change| > 2 between plasma samples before and after tumor resection surgery at Bonferroni adjusted P < 0.05. Especially, among the 57 lung cancer-associated miRNAs, BPDE-Alb adducts were significantly related to miR-17-3p, miR-20a-3p, miR-135a-5p, miR-374a-5p, miR-374b-5p, miR-423-5p and miR-664a-5p, which could in turn mediate a separate 42.2%, 33.0%, 57.5%, 36.4%, 48.8%, 32.5% and 38.2% of the relationship of BPDE-Alb adducts with the risk of lung cancer. Our results provide non-invasion biomarker candidates for lung cancer, and highlight miRNAs dysregulation as a potential intermediate mechanism by which BaP exposure lead to lung tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiology of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China and its association with RA disease characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional study. A retrospective study was conducted on RA patients recruited from January 2001 to February 2023 in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital. Demographic and clinical data were collected including age, gender, disease duration, active smoking, RA disease activity, physical function, radiographic assessment, serological markers of HBV infection and liver function indicators. According to the status of HBV infection, RA patients were grouped as chronic HBV infection, resolved HBV infection and no HBV infection groups. The distribution of each group and the clinical characteristics of RA patients were analyzed. Results: Among 1 941 RA patients, 1 461 (75.3%) completed HBV screening, including 335 males (22.9%) and 1 126 females (77.1%), with a mean age of (55.4±13.1) years. The prevalence of chronic HBV infection was 10.1%(148/1 461), which was significantly higher in male patients than in females [14.6%(49/335) vs 8.8%(99/1 126), P<0.001], especially among those males born from 1970 to 1979[20.0%(7/35) vs 8.5%(17/201), P=0.037] and 1980-1989 [31.8%(7/22) vs 10.5%(14/133), P=0.007]. Among 148 RA patients with chronic HBV infection, there were 5 cases (3.4%) of chronic hepatitis B, 2 cases (1.4%) of HBV-associated cirrhosis and 1 case (0.7%) of hepatocellular carcinoma. The prevalence of resolved HBV infection was 57.6%(841/1 461). There were 472(32.3%) patients with no HBV infection and 267(56.6%) of them showed negative anti-HBs. Among all RA patients, 15 (1.0%) patients had abnormal liver function, of which 7 cases were drug-induced liver injury, 5 cases were chronic hepatitis B, 2 cases were non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and 1 case was primary biliary cholangitis. Conclusion: Chronic HBV infection remains a common complication in RA patients in China, the infection rate is 10.1%, and the screening and management of HBV infection should be strengthened in clinical practice.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, an inflammatory caspase-dependent programmed cell death, plays a vital role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and activating inflammatory responses. Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is an aseptic force-induced inflammatory bone remodeling process mediated by the activation of periodontal ligament (PDL) progenitor cells. However, whether and how force induces PDL progenitor cell pyroptosis, thereby influencing OTM and alveolar bone remodeling remains unknown. In this study, we found that mechanical force induced the expression of pyroptosis-related markers in rat OTM and alveolar bone remodeling process. Blocking or enhancing pyroptosis level could suppress or promote OTM and alveolar bone remodeling respectively. Using Caspase-1-/- mice, we further demonstrated that the functional role of the force-induced pyroptosis in PDL progenitor cells depended on Caspase-1. Moreover, mechanical force could also induce pyroptosis in human ex-vivo force-treated PDL progenitor cells and in compressive force-loaded PDL progenitor cells in vitro, which influenced osteoclastogenesis. Mechanistically, transient receptor potential subfamily V member 4 signaling was involved in force-induced Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis in PDL progenitor cells. Overall, this study suggested a novel mechanism contributing to the modulation of osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone remodeling under mechanical stimuli, indicating a promising approach to accelerate OTM by targeting Caspase-1.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the treatment response of a two-dose regimen of inotuzumab ozogamicin (inotuzumab), a monoclonal antibody targeting CD22, for patients with heavily treated relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL), including those failed or relapsed after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) -T-cell therapy. Methods: Pediatric and adult patients who received two doses of inotuzumab and who were evaluated after inotuzumab treatment were included. Antibody infusions were performed between March 2020 and September 2022. All patients expressed CD22 antigen as detected by flow cytometry (>80% leukemic cells displaying CD22) before treatment. For adults, the maximum dosage per administration was 1 mg (with a total of two administrations). For children, the maximum dosage per administration was 0.85 mg/m(2) (no more than 1 mg/dose; total of two administrations). The total dosage administered to each patient was less than the standard dosage of 1.8 mg/m(2). Results: Twenty-one patients with R/R B-ALL were included, including five children (<18 years old) and sixteen adults. Seventeen patients presented with 5.0% -99.0% leukemic blasts in the bone marrow/peripheral blood or with extramedullary disease, and four patients were minimal residual disease (MRD) -positive. Fourteen patients underwent both CD19 and CD22 CAR-T-cell therapy, four underwent CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy, and three underwent blinatumomab therapy. Eleven patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). After inotuzumab treatment, 14 of 21 patients (66.7% ) achieved a complete response (CR, one was MRD-positive CR), and all four MRD-positive patients turned MRD-negative. Four of six patients who failed recent CD22 CAR-T-cell therapy achieved a CR after subsequent inotuzumab treatment. Seven patients (33.3% ) demonstrated no response. Grade 1-3 hepatotoxicity occurred in five patients (23.8% ), one child with no response experienced hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) during salvage transplantation and recovered completely. Conclusion: For patients with heavily treated R/R B-ALL, including those who had undergone allo-HSCT and CD19/CD22 CAR-T-cell therapy, the two-dose regimen of inotuzumab resulted in a CR rate of 66.7%, and the frequency of hepatotoxicity and HVOD was low.

Abstract
This study was to develop a computer vision evaluation method to automatically measure the degree of scoliosis based on the machine learning algorithm. For the X-ray images of 204 patients with idiopathic scoliosis who underwent full-spine radiography, histogram equalization of original image was performed before a flipping method was used to magnify asymmetric elements, search for the global maximum pixel value in each line, and scan local maximal pixel value, with the intersection set of two point sets being regarded as candidate anchor points. All fine anchors were fitted with cubic spline algorithm to obtain the approximate curve of the spine, and the degree of scoliosis was measured by the standardized integral area. All measured data were analyzed. In manual measurement, the Cobb angle was 11.70-25.00 (20.15 ± 3.60), 25.20-44.70 (33.89 ± 5.41), and 45.10-49.40 (46.98 ± 1.25) in the mild, moderate and severe scoliosis group, respectively, whereas the value for the standardized integral area algorithm was 0.072-0.298 (0.185 ± 0.040), 0.100-0.399 (0.245 ± 0.050), and 0.246-0.901 (0.349 ± 0.181) in the mild, moderate and severe scoliosis group, respectively. Correlation analysis between the manual measurement of the Cobb angle and the evaluation of the standardized integral area algorithm demonstrated the Spearman correlation coefficient r = 0.643 (P < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between the manual measurement of the Cobb angle and the measurement of the standardized integral area value. Two methods had good consistency in evaluating the degree of scoliosis. ROC curve analysis of the standardized integral area algorithm to measure the degree of scoliosis showed he cutoff value of the standardized integral area algorithm was 0.20 for the moderate scoliosis with an AUC of 0.865, sensitivity 0.907, specificity 0.635, accuracy 0.779, positive prediction value 0.737 and negative prediction value 0.859, and the cutoff value of the standardized integral area algorithm was 0.40 for the severe scoliosis with an AUC of 0.873, sensitivity 0.188, specificity 1.00, accuracy 0.936, positive prediction value 1 and a negative prediction value 0.935. Using the standardized integral area as an independent variable and the Cobb angle as a dependent variable, a linear regression equation was established as Cobb angle = 13.36 + 70.54 × Standardized area, the model has statistical significance. In conclusion, the integrated area algorithm method of machine learning can quickly and efficiently assess the degree of scoliosis and is suitable for screening the degree of scoliosis in a large dataset as a useful supplement to the fine measurement of scoliosis Cobb angle.

Abstract
Infected bone defects are a major challenge in orthopedic treatment. Native bone tissue possesses an endogenous electroactive interface that induces stem cell differentiation and inhibits bacterial adhesion and activity. However, traditional bone substitutes have difficulty in reconstructing the electrical environment of bone. In this study, we develop a self-promoted electroactive mineralized scaffold (sp-EMS) that generates weak currents via spontaneous electrochemical reactions to activate voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, enhance adenosine triphosphate-induced actin remodeling, and ultimately achieve osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by activating the BMP2/Smad5 pathway. Furthermore, we show that the electroactive interface provided by the sp-EMS inhibits bacterial adhesion and activity via electrochemical products and concomitantly generated reactive oxygen species. We find that the osteogenic and antibacterial dual functions of the sp-EMS depend on its self-promoting electrical stimulation. We demonstrate that in vivo, the sp-EMS achieves complete or nearly complete in situ infected bone healing, from a rat calvarial defect model with single bacterial infection, to a rabbit open alveolar bone defect model and a beagle dog vertical bone defect model with the complex oral bacterial microenvironment. This translational study demonstrates that the electroactive bone graft presents a promising therapeutic platform for complex defect repair.

Abstract
Maintaining the stemness of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) is crucial for bone homeostasis and regeneration. However, in vitro expansion and bone diseases impair BMMSC stemness, limiting its functionality in bone tissue engineering. Using a deep learning-based efficacy prediction system and bone tissue sequencing, we identify a natural small-molecule compound, dihydroartemisinin (DHA), that maintains BMMSC stemness and enhances bone regeneration. During long-term in vitro expansion, DHA preserves BMMSC stemness characteristics, including its self-renewal ability and unbiased differentiation. In an osteoporosis mouse model, oral administration of DHA restores the femur trabecular structure, bone density, and BMMSC stemness in situ. Mechanistically, DHA maintains BMMSC stemness by promoting histone 3 lysine 9 acetylation via GCN5 activation both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the bone-targeted delivery of DHA by mesoporous silica nanoparticles improves its therapeutic efficacy in osteoporosis. Collectively, DHA could be a promising therapeutic agent for treating osteoporosis by maintaining BMMSC stemness.

Abstract
Adult tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) are essential for tendon maintenance, regeneration, and repair, yet they become susceptible to senescence with age, impairing the self-healing capacity of tendons. In this study, we employ a recently developed deep-learning-based efficacy prediction system to screen potential stemness-promoting and senescence-inhibiting drugs from natural products using the transcriptional signatures of stemness. The top-ranked candidate, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin (POG), a saposhnikovia root extract, could ameliorate TPSC senescent phenotypes caused by long-term passage and natural aging in rats and humans, as well as restore the self-renewal and proliferative capacities and tenogenic potential of aged TSPCs. In vivo, the systematic administration of POG or the local delivery of POG nanoparticles functionally rescued endogenous tendon regeneration and repair in aged rats to levels similar to those of normal animals. Mechanistically, POG protects TSPCs against functional impairment during both passage-induced and natural aging by simultaneously suppressing nuclear factor-κB and decreasing mTOR signaling with the induction of autophagy. Thus, the strategy of pharmacological intervention with the deep learning-predicted compound POG could rejuvenate aged TSPCs and improve the regenerative capacity of aged tendons.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Tumor and patient factors requiring an interstitial (IS) approach for gynecologic tract brachytherapy (BT) may be associated with high morbidity despite the conformality maximizing effect of ISBT. We reviewed outcomes from a diverse, high-volume center to evaluate the association of clinical features and planning parameters with toxicity, with the hypothesis that MRI-guided volume-based planning mitigates clinicopathologic risk factors associated with treatment related fistula (TRF) after ISBT. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients treated with Syed-based ISBT at a single institution from 2014-2019. Fisher's exact was used for group comparison with p<0.05. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate local control (LC), overall survival (OS), and fistula-free survival (FFS). Cox regression was used for univariate (UVA) and multivariate analysis (MVA) to estimate hazard ratios (HR). Collinearity was assessed using variable inflation factor and Pearson's correlation. RESULTS A total of 54 patients (median age 58 [IQR 46-67], 54% Caucasian, 39% African American, 15% Hispanic) treated with ISBT (89% MRI-guided) with median follow-up 32 months had initial (89%) or recurrent (11%) disease from cervical (70%), vaginal (15%), urethral (6%), and other cancers. At presentation 5.5% had clinically evident fistula. There was radiographic rectal and bladder involvement in 22.0% and 19.2%, respectively. 89% received concurrent chemotherapy and 98% received EBRT prior to ISBT with a cumulative median high-risk CTV (HRCTV) dose 80.8 Gy (IQR 76.8-84.3), bladder D2cc 84.3 Gy (IQR 75.8-89.0), and rectal D2cc 73.8 Gy (IQR 67.7-80.0 Gy). All 7 patients who developed a TRF (rectovaginal in 6/7 and vesicovaginal in 5/7) were former or current smokers, had primary cervical cancer, and received chemotherapy. Management included surgical intervention in 6 (85.7%). LC, OS, and FFS at 2-years was 89.3% (95% CI 75.9-95.4%), 87.8% (95% CI 66.9-89.8%), and 85.2% (95% CI 69.9-93.1%), respectively. On UVA, current smoking (HR 4.60, 95% CI 1.02-20.74), BT bladder D2cc (HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.07-2.47) and BT rectal Dmax (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.07-1.58) predicted for increased risk of TRF. Most factors were non-significant including Charlson Comorbidity Index, age, BMI, surgical history, extent of vaginal involvement, race, HRCTV volume and number of needles used. No patients with radiographic bladder or rectal invasion developed TRF. On MVA, only smoking status (HR 14.05, 95% CI 1.48-133.1) remained significant. 0% of never (0/26), 20% of former (3/15) and 31% of current (4/13) smokers developed fistulas from toxicities (p<0.05). CONCLUSION In patients with locally advanced cancers of the gynecologic tract treated with MRI-guided volume-based ISBT, smoking was the only factor predictive of TRF formation, occurring primarily in cervical cancer patients. This highlights the importance of smoking cessation during treatment and appropriately counseling patients at high risk for this morbidity.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We have previously described our early experience using fiducial markers to correct for intrafraction motion during radiation therapy (RT) to the prostate using the TrueBeam Advanced imaging package. We sought to further characterize the utility of this approach in a larger cohort, and analyze factors associated with intrafraction motion. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 132 men with fiducial markers treated with RT for intact prostate cancer at a single center were treated with a VMAT technique using 2-3 arcs. All patients underwent planning CT after a rectal enema and same day placement of 3 fiducial markers (Gold Anchor). Triggered kV images were acquired every 10 seconds using an onboard imaging system. Intrafraction motion correction was considered if any two fiducial markers were observed beyond a 3 mm tolerance margin. A manual 2D-3D match was performed using the fiducial markers from the single triggered kV image to obtain a couch shift. Shift data were extracted from the record and verify system and expressed as a single 3-dimensional translation. Shift percent was defined as the number of instances of a >3 mm intrafraction correction divided by the total number of fractions for a given patient. Clinical variables were evaluated, including body mass index, hormone therapy (ADT), prostate, rectal bladder volumes, and rectal width (transverse dimension of rectum at the mid-gland of prostate on simulation CT). RESULTS Across 2659 fractions, intrafraction motion correction was performed 582 times, in 463 fractions (17%). 101/132 patients (77%) had at least one shift during their treatment course, and 48/132 patients (36%) had shifts with an average magnitude of at least 5 mm. The median shift was 3.6 mm (range, 0-2.4 cm; IQR, 1.5-5.4 mm). 25% of men had a shift percent >20% (SP>20%). Univariate analysis revealed that only larger rectal volume or width, smaller prostate size, and use of ADT were associated with SP>20% (p<0.05). Men with rectal width in the top quartile (>3.6 cm) were more likely to have intrafraction motion corrected with SP>20% (47% vs 18%, p = 0.0016), and similarly men with rectal volume in the top quartile (>112 cc) were more likely to have SP>20% (44% vs 19%, p = 0.0067). On multivariate analysis, only rectal parameters (e.g., top quartile rectal width, HR 3.9, p = 0.0024) were correlated with a higher frequency of intrafraction motion. CONCLUSION Intrafraction motion occurs in a significant percentage of men undergoing prostate RT with VMAT, and is correctable utilizing a common feature. On multivariate analysis, rectal volume and width were associated with larger shift percent. Treatment approaches which do not account for intrafraction motion should consider including methods of immobilization, or larger PTV margins in order to avoid marginal miss of the prostate.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation outcomes for Black patients with medically inoperable endometrial cancer (MIEC) is limited, despite this demographic comprising a higher proportion of the MIEC patient population. We report clinical outcomes and toxicities using triple tandem brachytherapy (TTB) with or without external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for MIEC in predominantly Black patients. MATERIALS/METHODS An IRB approved retrospective review was performed of all MIEC patients treated definitively with TTB ± EBRT from 2014-2021 at a single institution. Patients were divided based on stage. Group 1 = FIGO stage 1A/1B and Group 2 = FIGO stage 2-4B. Patients with cervical involvement were treated with TTB + ovoids. The Kaplan-Meier estimates were generated to estimate overall survival (OS) and local failure-free survival (LFFS). Local control (LC) was evaluated clinically. Acute and late toxicities were evaluated. Planning parameters for target volume(s) and OARs (organs at risk) were per ABS guidelines. Statistics reported are median values and ranges. RESULTS Of 30 patients, 93.3% received TTB + EBRT. Mean age at diagnosis was 65.3 years (40.5-88.7 years). 70% of patients were Black. Median prescribed doses were 45 Gy (range: 21-50.4 Gy) for EBRT and 22.25 Gy (range: 16.5-49.1 Gy) for brachytherapy. Median BMI was 48.1 (27.8- 69) and Charlson Comorbidity Index was 4 (1-11). Patient stages were FIGO 1A/B (n = 19), 2 (n = 1), 3 (n = 1), 3b (n = 1), 3C1 (n = 3), 3C2 (n = 2), and 4B (n = 2) due to inguinal lymphadenopathy. 90% had endometrioid histology while 6.7% and 3.3% had clear cell and serous carcinoma, respectively. Median follow up was 32.1 months (1.7-93.6). Median OS for Group 1 was 50.9 months and 43.5 months for Group 2, while 1-/4-year OS was 84.2%/54.4% and 90.9%/17.5% for Group 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.616). 53.3% of patients died of non-EC causes. The 1-/4-year LFFS was 100%/93.3% for Group 1 and 90%/70.5% for Group 2 (p = 0.113). Four patients (13.3%) developed recurrence (stage 1A/B, 2, 3C1, and 4B), but only 1 died of disease (Stage 2 with clear cell histology). After EBRT but pre-TTB, 50% (n = 15) and 16.6% (n = 5) had acute grade 2 gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicities, respectively. After TTB treatment, 2 more patients developed acute grade 2 GU toxicity. Late toxicities were Grade 2: GU (n = 1) and GI (n = 1) and Grade 4 GI bleed (n = 1) treated with argon plasma coagulation. CONCLUSION TTB ± EBRT for MIEC in predominantly Black patients was associated with excellent LFFS and acceptable toxicity rates, especially in early-stage MIEC with endometrioid histology. Furthermore, even in patients at high risk of death from other causes, LC may help preserve quality of life. Additional studies are needed to evaluate and optimize outcomes for Black patients with MIEC.

Abstract
Jing Xiao Chan Bao(, Tested Treasures in Obstetrics) written by Zan Yin is the earliest extant book of obstetrics and gynecology in China. It was dispersed after written and reappeard by the late Qing Dynasty. Although widely quoted in later medical books, its spread process is not clear yet. In this paper, we reviewed the process of the book's written and the catalogue of historical records, and analyze the type and scope of articles quoted from this book by the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. It can be speculated that the book was lost in the late Song Dynasty and doctors in Yuan and Ming Dynasties have not seen the handed-down masterpiece.

Abstract
RATIONALE Zinc isotopes are becoming increasingly applicable in high-temperature geochemistry, for example in crust-mantle interaction and volatilization-related processes. The published zinc isotope data for some commonly used reference materials, however, show large interlaboratory offsets. In addition, there is still limited data for zinc isotope compositions of many widely used geological reference materials. METHODS For precise and accurate zinc isotopic ratio analysis of chemically diverse geostandards, including ultramafic to felsic igneous rocks, carbonatites, sediments and soils, an improved procedure for chemical purification of zinc was introduced in this study. The factors potentially affecting zinc isotopic ratio measurement were assessed. The accuracy and long-term reproducibility were obtained by measurements on both synthetic solutions and well-characterized geostandards. RESULTS Purification of geologic samples with different zinc concentrations and matrix compositions yields consistent elution curves with nearly 100% recovery. Acidity and concentration mismatches and the presence of some matrix elements (e.g., Mg, Ti and Cr) have significant impacts on the precision and accuracy of zinc isotopic ratio measurement. The zinc isotope compositions of a suite of reference materials were measured using this method. CONCLUSIONS The present study describes methods for the chemical purification of zinc and high-precision and accurate zinc isotopic ratio measurements using multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS). The long-term external reproducibility for δ66 Zn values is ±0.04‰ (2SD). High-quality zinc isotope data of chemically different geostandards were reported to stimulate future interlaboratory calibrations.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalytic mediators have been proposed to play a vital role in enhancing the multiorder reaction and nucleation kinetics in multielectron sulfur electrochemistry. However, the predictive design of heterogeneous catalysts is still challenging, owing to the lack of in-depth understanding of interfacial electronic states and electron transfer on cascade reaction in Li-S batteries. Here, a heterogeneous catalytic mediator based on monodispersed titanium carbide sub-nanoclusters embedded in titanium dioxide nanobelts is reported. The tunable catalytic and anchoring effects of the resulting catalyst are achieved by the redistribution of localized electrons caused by the abundant built-in fields in heterointerfaces. Subsequently, the resulting sulfur cathodes deliver an areal capacity of 5.6 mAh cm-2 and excellent stability at 1 C under sulfur loading of 8.0 mg cm-2 . The catalytic mechanism especially on enhancing the multiorder reaction kinetic of polysulfides is further demonstrated via operando time-resolved Raman spectroscopy during the reduction process in conjunction with theoretical analysis.

Abstract
Transition metal nitride (TMN) films with excellent hardness and lubricating performance are versatile low dimension materials, which are widely used in various fields including industries, transportation, aerospace, and so on. This paper introduces one film design strategy and provides a review of the mechanisms for strengthening and lubricating nitride films. The design strategy refers to two aspects which determine the structures, the performance, the components, and the chemical constitutions of nitride films The strengthening mechanisms of nitride films are then illuminated in detail, including the solid solution effect, the grain size effect, the secondary phase effect, the stress or stress field effect, the template effect, and the valence electron concentration effect. Five lubricating mechanisms are next summarized, including the easy-shear nature, the tribo-chemical reactions, the lubricious fluorides, the textured contact surface, and the synergistic effect. This paper aims to give a comprehensive introduction for understanding the mechanisms of strengthening and lubrication of nitride films for students and researchers, as well as to understand the current research progress in nitride films for exploring research gaps.

Abstract
Reversible transformations between fractals and periodic structures are of fundamental importance for understanding the formation mechanism of fractals. Currently, it is still a challenge to controllably achieve such a transformation. We investigate the effect of CO and CO2 molecules on Sierpiński triangles (STs) assembled from Fe atoms and 4,4″-dicyano-1,1':3',1″-terphenyl (C3PC) molecules on Au surfaces. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we discover that the gas molecules induce a transition from STs into 1D chains. Based on density functional theory modeling, we propose that the atomistic mechanism involves the transformation of a stable 3-fold coordination Fe(C3PC)3 motif to Fe(C3PC)4 with an axially bonded CO molecule. CO2 causes the structural transformation through a molecular catassembly process.

Abstract
The study examined the mechanisms of action of signal protein claudin 6 (CLDN6) on migration and invasion of breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and SKBR-3. To this end, the signal proteins SMAD were blocked with their inhibitor SB431542, the genes CLDN6 and SNAIL were knocked down with short hairpin RNAs, and MMP2 and MMP9 were inhibited with TIMP-1. Expressions of MMP2 and MMP9 mRNAs were evaluated by reverse transcription PCR, Expressions of MMP-2, MMP-9, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin were examined by Western blotting. Migration and invasion were analyzed by scratch test and Matrigel invasion assay. SB431542 inhibited expression of MMP2 and MMP9 in both cell lines. Single use of SB431542 inhibited expression of MMP-2/MMP-9 and corresponding mRNAs, but subsequent silencing of CLDN6 gene reversed this effect. TIMP-1 reversed down-regulation of E-cadherin, upregulation of N-cadherin and vimentin, facilitation of migration and invasion evoked by CLDN6 knocking down. Silencing of SNAIL gene inhibited migration and invasion, upregulated the expression of E-cadherin, and down-regulated expression of MMP2, MMP 9, N-cadherin, and vimentin. Thus, CLDN6 suppresses the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, migration, and invasion via blocking SMAD/Snail/MMP-2/9 signaling pathway in MCF-7 and SKBR-3 cancer cell lines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between the use of metformin and the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS A prospective cohort study was designed from the Fangshan family cohort in Beijing. According to metformin use at baseline, 2 625 patients with type 2 diabetes in Fangshan, Beijing were divided into metformin group or non-metformin group and the incidence of ischemic stroke between the different groups during follow-up was estimated and compared by Cox proportional hazard regression model. The participants with metformin were first compared with all the parti-cipants who did not use metformin, and then were further compared with those who did not use hypoglycemic agents and those who used other hypoglycemic agents. RESULTS The patients with type 2 diabetes were with an average age of (59.5±8.7) years, and 41.9% of them were male. The median follow-up time was 4.5 years. A total of 84 patients developed ischemic stroke during follow-up, with a crude incidence of 6.4 (95%CI: 5.0-7.7) per 1 000 person-years. Among all the participants, 1 149 (43.8%) took metformin, 1 476 (56.2%) were metformin non-users, including 593 (22.6%) used other hypoglycemic agents, and 883 (33.6%) did not use any hypoglycemic agents. Compared with metformin non-users, the Hazard ratio (HR) for ischemic stroke in metformin users was 0.58 (95%CI: 0.36-0.93; P = 0.024). Compared with other hypoglycemic agents, HR was 0.48 (95%CI: 0.28-0.84; P < 0.01); Compared with the group without hypoglycemic agents, HR was 0.65 (95%CI: 0.37-1.13; P=0.13). The association between metformin and ischemic stroke was statistically significant in the patients ≥ 60 years old compared with all the metformin non-users and those who used other hypoglycemic agents (HR: 0.48, 95%CI: 0.25-0.92; P < 0.05). Metformin use was associated with a lower incidence of ischemic stroke in the patients with good glycemic control (0.32, 95%CI: 0.13-0.77; P < 0.05). In the patients with poor glycemic control, and the association was not statistically significant (HR: 0.97, 95%CI: 0.53-1.79; P>0.05). There was an interaction between glycemic control and metformin use on incidence of ischemic stroke (Pinteraction < 0.05). The results of the sensitivity analysis were consistent with the results in the main analysis. CONCLUSION Among patients with type 2 diabetic in rural areas of northern China, metformin use was associated with lower incidence of ischemic stroke, especially in patients older than 60 years. There was an interaction between glycemic control and metformin use in the incidence of ischemic stroke.

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

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) in patients with hematological malignancies who had relapsed after the first allo-HSCT. Methods: Between April 2018 and June 2021, 44 patients with hematological malignancies (B-ALL 23, T-ALL/T-LBL 4, AML15, and MDS 2) were enrolled and retrospectively examined. Unrelated donors (n=12) or haploidentical donors (n=32) were used. Donors were replaced in all patients for the second allo-HSCT. Hematological and immunological germline predisposition genes and hematopoietic and immune function tests were used to select the best-related donor. Total body irradiation (TBI) /fludarabine (FLU) -based (n=38), busulfan (BU) /FLU-based (n=4), total marrow irradiation (TMI) /FLU-based (n=1), and BU/cladribine-based (n=1) were the RIC regimens used. For graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, short-term methotrexate, and ATG were used. Eighteen (40.9%) of 44 patients with gene variations for which targeted medications are available underwent post-transplant maintenance therapy. Results: The median age was 25 years old (range: 7-55). The median interval between the first and second HSCT was 19.5 months (range: 6-77). Before the second allo-HSCT, 33 (75%) of the patients were in complete remission (CR), whereas 11 (25%) were not. All patients had long-term engraftment. The grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ GVHD and severe acute GVHD rates were 20.5% and 9.1%, respectively. Chronic GVHD was found in 20.5% of limited patterns and 22.7% of severe patterns. CMV and EBV reactivation rates were 29.5% and 6.8%, respectively. Hemorrhage cystitis occurred in 15.9% of cases, grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ. The 1-yr disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and cumulative recurrence incidence (RI) rates of all patients were 72.5% (95% CI, 54.5%-84.3%), 80.6% (95% CI, 63.4%-90.3%), and 25.1% (95% CI, 13.7%-43.2%), respectively, with a median follow-up of 14 (2-39) months. There were eight deaths (seven relapses and one infection). The rate of non-relapse mortality (NRM) was only 2.3%. The CR patients' 1-yr RI rate was significantly lower than the NR patients (16.8% vs 48.1%, P=0.026). The DFS rate in CR patients was greater than in NR patients, although there was no statistical difference (79.9% vs 51.9%, P=0.072). Univariate analysis revealed that CR before the second allo-HSCT was an important prognostic factor. Conclusion: With our RIC regimens, donor change, and post-transplant maintenance therapy, the second allo-HSCT in relapsed hematological malignancies after the first allo-HSCT is a safe and effective treatment with high OS and DFS and low NRM and relapse rate. The most important factor influencing the prognosis of the second allo-HSCT is the patient's illness condition before the transplant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disorder, is currently a severe health threat. Previous studies have documented the altered expression of various miRNAs in RA patients. This study determined the expression of miR-124a in RA patients and estimated its diagnostic value for RA. METHODS A total of 80 RA patients were enrolled as the study subjects, and 36 patients with osteoarthritis were included, with another 36 healthy people as the controls. miR-124a expression levels in peripheral blood plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and synovial fluid were measured using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, followed by Pearson correlation analysis. Additionally, the association between miR-124a and major clinical indicators was assessed, such as rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS28). The diagnostic efficacy of miR-124a expression in plasma, PBMCs, and synovial fluid for RA was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the difference in the area under the curve (AUC) was analyzed. RESULTS miR-124a was downregulated in RA patients, and the expression levels of miR-124a in plasma, PBMCs, and synovial fluid showed a certain degree of positive correlation. miR-124a was inversely linked with RF, ESR, and DAS28. For the diagnosis of RA patients, the AUC of plasma miR-124a was 0.899 and the cut-off value was 0.800, with 68.75% sensitivity and 94.44% specificity; the AUC of miR-124a in PBMCs was 0.937 and the cut-off value was 0.805, with 82.50% sensitivity and 91.67% specificity; the AUC of miR-124a in plasma combined with PBMCs was 0.961, with a higher diagnostic value than independent plasma or PBMCs; the AUC of miR-124a in synovial fluid was 0.929 and the cut-off value was 0.835, with 80.00% sensitivity and 88.89% specificity. CONCLUSION miR-124a expression is downregulated in the plasma, PBMCs, and synovial fluid of RA patients and has a high diagnostic value for RA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to estimate aspiration pneumonia (AP) incidence and describe comorbid characteristics and mortality in Beijing, China. STUDY DESIGN A historical cohort study was conducted based on medical claim records. METHODS Patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of AP were identified from approximately 12 million adults who enrolled in the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance program in Beijing, China, from January 2011 to December 2017. The incidences of AP and pneumonia with risk factors for aspiration (PRFA) were estimated by a Poisson distribution. The estimated annual percentage change was reported to represent the average percentage change in incidence per year. Characteristics and 6-month and 1-year all-cause mortality rates for AP and suspected AP patients were described and compared with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). RESULTS The incidence rates of hospitalized AP and PRFA were 9.4 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.6, 11.3) and 102.9 (95% CI: 95.8, 110.3) per 100,000 person-years, respectively. The incidences increased rapidly with age and were stable across the observed years. Patients with AP and PRFA possessed a greater burden of comorbidities than CAP (mean age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity indices for AP: 7.72, PRFA: 7.83, and CAP: 2.84). The 6-month and 1-year all-cause mortality rates for those with AP and PRFA were higher than those for patients with CAP (6-month mortality, AP: 35.2%, PRFA: 21.8%, CAP: 11.1%; 1-year mortality, AP: 42.7%, PRFA: 26.6%, CAP: 13.2%). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of AP and PRFA in Beijing was reported, presenting a full picture of the disease burden. The results provide baseline information for AP prevention.

Abstract
Further enhancing the operational lifetime of inverted-structure perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is crucial for their commercialization, and the design of hole-selective contacts at the illumination side plays a key role in operational stability. In this work, the self-anchoring benzo[rst]pentaphene (SA-BPP) is developed as a new type of hole-selective contact toward long-term operationally stable inverted PSCs. The SA-BPP molecule with a graphene-like conjugated structure shows a higher photostability and mobility than that of the frequently-used triphenylamine and carbazole-based hole-selective molecules. Besides, the anchoring groups of SA-BPP promote the formation of a large-scale uniform hole contact on ITO substrate and efficiently passivate the perovskite absorbers. Benefiting from these merits, the champion efficiencies of 22.03% for the small-sized cells and 17.08% for 5 × 5 cm2 solar modules on an aperture area of 22.4 cm2 are achieved based on this SA-BPP contact. Also, the SA-BPP-based device exhibits promising operational stability, with an efficiency retention of 87.4% after 2000 h continuous operation at the maximum power point under simulated 1-sun illumination, which indicates an estimated T80 lifetime of 3175 h. This novel design concept of hole-selective contacts provides a promising strategy for further improving the PSC stability.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) extrusion bioprinting has emerged as one of the most promising biofabrication technologies for preparing biomimetic tissue-like constructs. The successful construction of cell-laden constructs majorly relies on the development of proper bioinks with excellent printability and cytocompatibility. Bioinks based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) have been widely explored due to the excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability and the presence of the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequences for cell adhesion. However, such bioinks usually require low-temperature or ionic cross-linking systems to solidify the extruded hydrogel structures, which results in complex processes and limitations to certain applications. Moreover, many current hydrogel-based bioinks, even after chemical cross-linking, hardly possess the required strength to resist the mechanical loads during the implantation procedure. Herein, we report a self-healing hydrogel bioink based on GelMA and oxidized dextran (OD) for the direct printing of tough and fatigue-resistant cell-laden constructs at room temperature without any template or cross-linking agents. Enabled by dynamic Schiff base chemistry, the mixed GelMA/OD solution showed the characteristics of a dynamic hydrogel with shear-thinning and self-supporting behavior, which allows bridging the 5 mm gap and efficient direct bioprinting of complex constructs with high shape fidelity. After photo-cross-linking, the resulting tissue constructs exhibited excellent low cell damage, high cell viability, and enhanced mechanical strength. Moreover, the GelMA/OD construct could resist up to 95% compressive deformation without any breakage and was able to maintain 80% of the original Young's modulus during long-term loading (50 cycles). It is believed that our GelMA/OD bioink would expand the potential of GelMA-based bioinks in applications such as tissue engineering and pharmaceutical screening.

Abstract
The Ministry of Education and other four departments jointly issued the Notice on the Construction of high-level schools of public Health, proposing that "it will take ten years to build a number of high-level schools of public health, and form a high-quality education development system to adapt to the construction of modern public health system". At present, the construction of high-level public health schools in various universities in China is in full swing. The high-level School of Public Health and the CDC have played an important role in constructing the national public health system and the human health community. The high-level public health schools are of strategic significance and important value to the development of the CDC. The review presents reflections and insights on the role of high-level public health schools in the development of the CDC and the challenges they might face.

Abstract
We present the first search for the pair production of dark particles X via K_{L}^{0}→XX with X decaying into two photons using the data collected by the KOTO experiment. No signal was observed in the mass range of 40-110 MeV/c^{2} and 210-240 MeV/c^{2}. This sets upper limits on the branching fractions as B(K_{L}^{0}→XX)<(1-4)×10^{-7} and B(K_{L}^{0}→XX)<(1-2)×10^{-6} at the 90% confidence level for the two mass regions, respectively.

Abstract
Non-syndromic oral cleft (NSOC), a common birth defect, remains to be a critical public health problem in China. In the context of adjustment of childbearing policy for two times in China and the increase of pregnancy at older childbearing age, NSOC risk prediction will provide evidence for high-risk population identification and prenatal counseling. Genome-wide association study and second generation sequencing have identified multiple loci associated with NSOC, facilitating the development of genetic risk prediction of NSOC. Despite the marked progress, risk prediction models of NSOC still faces multiple challenges. This paper summarizes the recent progress in research of NSOC risk prediction models based on the results of extensive literature retrieval to provide some insights for the model development regarding research design, variable selection, model-build strategy and evaluation methods.

Abstract
Aging is related to a progressive decline in physiological functions and is affected by environmental factors. Metal exposures are linked with many health effects, but have poorly understood associations with aging. In this study, a total of 33,916 participants from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort were included to establish biological age (BA) predictors by using recent advanced algorithms, Klemera and Doubal method (KDM) and Mahalanobis distance. Two biological aging indexes (BAIs), recorded as KDM-accel [the residual from regressing KDM-BA on chronological age] and physiological dysregulation (PD), were separately defined and tested on their associations with mortality by using Cox proportional hazard models. Among 3320 subjects with laboratory determinations of 23 metals in plasma, the individual and overall associations between these metals and BAIs were evaluated by using multiple-linear regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) models. Both BAIs were prospectively associated with all-cause mortality among the whole participants [KDM-accel: HR(95%CI) = 1.23(1.18, 1.29); PD: HR(95%CI) = 1.37(1.31, 1.42)]. Each 1-unit increment in ln-transformed strontium and molybdenum were cross-sectionally associated with a separate 0.71- and 0.34-year increase in KDM-accel, and each 1 % increment in copper, rubidium, strontium, cobalt was cross-sectionally associated with a separate 0.10 %, 0.10 %, 0.09 %, 0.02 % increase in PD (all FDR < 0.05). The WQS models observed mixture effects of multi-metals on aging, with a 0.20-year increase in KDM-accel and a 0.04 % increase in PD for each quartile increase in ln-transformed concentrations of all metals [KDM-accel: β(95%CI) = 0.20(0.08, 0.32); PD: β(95%CI) = 0.04(0.02, 0.06)]. Our findings revealed that plasma strontium, molybdenum, copper, rubidium and cobalt were associated with accelerated aging. Multi-metals exposure showed mixture effects on the aging process, which highlights potential preventative interventions.

Abstract
Banana peel is an abundant agricultural waste in the Philippines. Valorization of the waste
was done by extracting pectin from the 'saba' banana peel using ultrasound technology.
The ultrasound-extracted pectin (UEP) was characterized physicochemically. UEP was
also compared with commercial low-methoxy pectin (LMP) in terms of rheology and
emulsification ability. Results showed that UEP has higher protein and ash content, and
lower methoxyl, total pectic content, and interfacial tension. During the emulsion
preparation, increasing the concentration of both UEP and LMP resulted in an increased
production of stable emulsion droplets. Also, UEP-stabilized emulsion had improved
stability when higher oil fraction and ionic strength were used. In terms of pH, higher
volumes of stable emulsion were produced by UEP and LMP at conditions close to
pectin's isoelectric pH. Lastly, UEP and LMP produced emulsions that were stable in all
stages of in vitro digestion.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a rapid and specific quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 subgenomic nucleocapsid RNA (SgN) in patients with COVID-19 or environmental samples. Methods: The qPCR assay was established by designing specific primers and TaqMan probe based on the SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequence in Global Initiative of Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) database. The reaction conditions were optimized by using different annealing temperature, different primers and probe concentrations and the standard curve was established. Further, the specificity, sensitivity and repeatability were also assessed. The established SgN and genomic RNA (gRNA) qPCR assays were both applied to detect 21 environmental samples and 351 clinical samples containing 48 recovered patients. In the specimens with both positive gRNA and positive SgN, 25 specimens were inoculated on cells. Results: The primers and probes of SgN had good specificity for SARS-CoV-2. The minimum detection limit of the preliminarily established qPCR detection method for SgN was 1.5×102 copies/ml, with a coefficient of variation less than 1%. The positive rate of gRNA in 372 samples was 97.04% (361/372). The positive rates of SgN in positive environmental samples and positive clinical samples were 36.84% (7/19) and 49.42% (169/342), respectively. The positive rate and copy number of SgN in Wild strain were lower than those of SARS-CoV-2 Delta strain. Among the 25 SgN positive samples, 12 samples within 5 days of sampling time were all isolated with virus; 13 samples sampled for more than 12 days had no cytopathic effect. Conclusion: A qPCR method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 SgN has been successfully established. The sensitivity, specificity and repeatability of this method are good.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitochondria are essential organelles that execute fundamental biological processes, while mitochondrial DNA is vulnerable to environmental insults. The aim of this study was to investigate the individual and mixture effect of plasma metals on blood mitochondria DNA copy number (mtDNAcn). METHODS This study involved 1399 randomly selected subcohort participants from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. The blood mtDNAcn and plasma levels of 23 metals were determined by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), respectively. The multiple linear regression was used to explore the association between each metal and mtDNAcn, and the LASSO penalized regression was performed to select the most significant metals. We also used the quantile g-computation analysis to assess the mixture effect of multiple metals. RESULTS Based on multiple linear regression models, each 1% increase in plasma concentration of copper (Cu), rubidium (Rb), and titanium (Ti) was associated with a separate 0.16% [β(95% CI) = 0.158 (0.066, 0.249), P = 0.001], 0.20% [β(95% CI) = 0.196 (0.073, 0.318), P = 0.002], and 0.25% [β(95% CI) = 0.245 (0.081, 0.409), P = 0.003] increase in blood mtDNAcn. The LASSO regression also confirmed Cu, Rb, and Ti as significant predictors for mtDNAcn. There was a significant mixture effect of multiple metals on increasing mtDNAcn among the elder participants (aged ≥65), with an approximately 11% increase in mtDNAcn for each quartile increase in all metal concentrations [β(95% CI) = 0.146 (0.048, 0.243), P = 0.004]. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that plasma Cu, Rb and Ti were associated with increased blood mtDNA, and we further revealed a significant mixture effect of all metals on mtDNAcn among elder population. These findings may provide a novel perspective on the effect of metals on mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Egg weight is an important indicator of egg phenotypic traits, which directly affects the economic benefits of the poultry industry. In the present research, laying ducks were classified into high egg weight (HEW) and light egg weight (LEW) groups. To reveal the underlying mechanism that may be responsible for the egg weight difference, the integrated analysis of transcriptomes and serum metabolomics was performed between the two groups. The results showed extremely significant differences (P < 0.01) in the total egg weight at 300 d, and average egg weight between the HEW and LEW groups. 733, 591, 82, and 74 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the liver, magnum, F1, and F5 (hierarchical follicles) follicle membrane, respectively. The candidate genes were screened further from the perspective of forming an egg. In terms of egg yolk formation, the functional analysis revealed fatty acid metabolism-related pathways account for 36% of the liver's top pathways, including fatty acid biosynthesis, folate biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, and glycerol lipid metabolism pathways. FASN gene was identified as the key candidate gene by comprehensive analysis of gene expression and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. In the follicle membrane, the DEGs were mainly enriched in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, and MAPK signaling pathway, and HSPA2, HSPA8, BAG3 genes were identified as crucial candidate genes. In terms of egg white formation, the functional analysis revealed protein metabolism-related pathways account for 40% of the magnum's top pathways, which includes protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum pathway. HSP90AA1 and HSPA8 genes were identified as key candidate genes. In addition, the integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis showed that arginine and proline metabolism pathways could contribute to differences in egg weight. Thus, we speculated that the potential candidate genes, regulatory pathways, and metabolic biomarkers mentioned above might be responsible for the egg weight difference. These findings might provide a theoretical basis for improving the egg weight of ducks.

Abstract
Melanoma is a highly malignant skin tumor, and prolonged delay in seeking medical attention (DSMA) and delay in diagnosis (DD) may result in poor prognoses. Through a web-based questionnaire, we explored the related factors affecting the DSMA and DD of melanoma in a Chinese population. A total of 112 valid answer sheets were received. After obtaining the relevant information, we analyzed the factors associated with DSMA and DD. The median time of DSMA was 8.0 (quartiles: 1.0, 29.3) months, and the median of patients' DD was 1.0 (quartiles: 1.0, 8.3) month. The subsequent analysis showed that DSMA and DD were positively correlated to age and negatively correlated to education background and annual household income. Patients with a history of tumors or previous health-seeking behavior because of other skin lesions had significantly longer DSMA than those without. Patients who sought medical help at general tertiary hospitals for the first time had a significantly shorter DD than those who chose other hospitals. Our study found that DSMA and DD are associated with factors such as age, education, income, and patients' histories. Secondary prevention of Chinese melanoma should be strengthened to reduce DSMA and DD to improve patients' prognoses.

Abstract
Femtosecond laser micromachining has been considered as a powerful tool for fabricating versatile fiber devices and received increasing attention in recent years. Here, we report on a compact sensor by integrating a bridge-like waveguide inside a single-mode fiber to construct an in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer and then inscribing a second-order Bragg grating in the core of the same fiber. The interference dip shows good performance in torsion sensing - the maximum torsion sensitivity of 1.5573 nm/(rad/m), the ability to identify the torsion direction, and low perturbation of axial strain. In order to compensate the cross impact of temperature, the fiber Bragg grating dip is employed as the second indicator and combined with the interference dip for discriminating temperature and directional torsion simultaneously. The proposed device also has the merits such as compact size, high thermal stability, and so on.
