Abstract
OBJECTIVE Explore serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), signal transduction molecule 3 (SMAD3), and histone deacetylase (HDAC) and their correlation with the severity of the condition of stroke patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical records of 93 stroke patients and 93 healthy individuals were retrospectively analyzed. Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with different disease degrees and lesion areas were compared between the two groups. Correlation between serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 and the severity and lesion area of the observation group were analyzed. RESULTS Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with moderate and severe disease were significantly higher than those in patients with mild disease and were the highest in patients with severe disease (p<0.05). Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in patients with moderate and large areas of cerebral infarction were significantly higher than those in patients with small areas of cerebral infarction and the highest in patients with large areas of cerebral infarction (p<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 significantly positively correlated with the severity of stroke and lesion area (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum levels of HIF-1α, SMAD3, and HDAC3 in stroke patients are highly expressed, and the increase positively correlates with the severity of the disease and the area of the lesion.

Abstract
High-output modern agriculture based on synthetic chemicals (biocides, pesticides, and fertilizers) feeds the growing global population. To completely abandon the use of pesticides and fertilizers will undoubtedly cause a severe food crisis worldwide, and sustainable alternative solutions are urgently demanded to stop biocides and fertilizers overuse. Herein, a versatile and green strategy is proposed for seed protection and long-term storage of grains using a cellulose-based photothermal coating (PDA NPs@Cell-N+) that consists of photothermal polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) and a positive-charged cellulose derivative (Cell-N+) to eradicate seed-borne bacteria and fungi simply under infrared irradiation. In vitro and in vivo assays and the seedling-stage phenotypes of mung bean (Vigna radiata) suggest that pathogenic microbes, including the tough Aspergillus flavus (inhibition ratio >99%), can be efficiently eliminated by photothermal therapy. Thus, the seed-borne diseases of mung beans can finally be prevented. Owing to excellent solubility and biocompatibility, the PDA NPs@Cell-N+ coating can be washed off and recycled without food safety concerns. PDA NPs@Cell-N+ can be a nature-based solution for seed protection and long-term grain storage.

Abstract
At high current densities, gas bubble escape is the critical factor affecting the mass transport and performance of the electrolyzer. For tight assembly water electrolysis technologies, the gas diffusion layer (GDL) between the catalyst layer (CL) and the flow field plate plays a critical role in gas bubble removal. Herein, we demonstrate that the electrolyzer's mass transport and performance can be significantly improved by simply manipulating the structure of the GDL. Combined with 3D printing technology, ordered nickel GDLs with straight-through pores and adjustable grid sizes are systematically studied. Using an in-situ high-speed camera, the gas bubble releasing size and resident time have been observed and analyzed upon the change of the GDL architecture. The results show that a suitable grid size of the GDL can significantly accelerate mass transport by reducing the gas bubble size and the bubble resident time. An adhesive force measurement has further revealed the underlying mechanism. We then proposed and fabricated a novel hierarchical GDL, reaching a current density of 2 A/cm2 at a cell voltage of 1.95 V and 80 oC, one of the highest single-cell performances in pure-water-fed AEMWE.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this review is to discuss the role of androgens in the progression of endometrial carcinoma (EC) with particular focus on the different kinds of androgenic hormones, androgen receptor (AR) and intracrine androgen metabolism. METHODS A comprehensive literature search within PubMed was performed. Selected publications related to androgens and EC were reviewed. RESULTS There are different kinds of androgenic hormones, and different kinds of androgens may have different effects. Elevated androgens (especially testosterone) have been associated with an increased EC risk in postmenopausal women. 5α-reductases (5α-Reds) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17βHSD2) pathway may inhibit the progression of EC mediated by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), but aromatases stimulate further progression of EC. The most of studies accessing the prognostic value of AR have found that AR expression may be a favorable prognostic indicator. CONCLUSION Androgens may have both oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles. Androgen-specific biases in metabolism and the expression of AR may contribute to the different prognosis of patients with EC.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of posterior longitudinal ligament ossification (OPLL) remains inadequately understood. Mechanical stimulation is one of the important pathogenic factors in OPLL. As one of the mechanical stimulation transduction signals, the yes-associated protein (YAP) interacts with the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, which plays an important role in osteogenic differentiation. This study aimed to demonstrate the role of YAP-Wnt/β-catenin axis in cell differentiation induced by mechanical stress. Primary cells extracted from posterior longitudinal ligament tissues from OPLL or non-OPLL patients were subjected to sinusoidal uniaxial cyclic stretch (5 %, 0.5 Hz, 3 d). The expression of runt-related transcription factor 2, collagen I, osterix, osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase were compared between the static and the experimental groups. In addition, the cytoskeleton was detected using phalloidin staining while YAP phosphorylation states and nuclear location were identified using immunofluorescence. The results showed that mechanical stretching loading increased the expression of osteogenic genes and proteins in the OPLL group, while it had no significant effect on the control group. When OPLL cells were stretched, YAP exhibited an obvious nuclear translocation and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway was activated. Knocking down YAP or β-catenin could weaken the impact upon osteogenic differentiation induced by mechanical stimulation. YAP-mediated mechanical stimulation promoted osteogenic differentiation of OPLL cells through Wnt/β-catenin pathway and this progress was independent of the Hippo pathway.

Abstract
The present study aimed to reveal the effects of immunocastration on the development of the immune system in rats. Seventy rats were randomly assigned into two groups: Control (n = 35) and immunized (n = 35). Twenty-day-old rats were immunized with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and booster immunization was administered every two weeks (three immunizations in total). From 20-day-old rats, we collected samples every two weeks, including five immunized rats and five control rats (seven collections in total). We collected blood samples, testicles, thymuses, and spleens. The results showed that GnRH immunization increased the GnRH antibody titers and reduced the testosterone concentration (both P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the number of CD4+CD8- cells, CD4-CD8+ cells, and CD4+CD8+ cells increased (P < 0.05) whereas the number of CD4-CD8- cells and CD4+CD25+ cells reduced in the immunized group (P < 0.05) over time. GnRH immunization also increased the relative weights of thymus and spleen (P < 0.05), serum concentrations of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17 and Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) over time (P < 0.05), and changed the mRNA levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6. IL-10, IL-17, IFN-γ, CD4, D8, CD19 GnRH, and GnRH receptor (GnRH-R) in thymus and spleen. Thus, GnRH immunization enhanced the immune markers in thymus, spleen, and blood immune cytokines in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the medium-term outcomes of ultralight type I mesh for postmenopausal women with recurrent severe posterior vaginal prolapse (PVP). METHODS All participants underwent transvaginal ultralight type I mesh repair between April 2016 and April 2021 and were followed until May 2022. Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) staging, mesh-related complications, Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) scale and quality of life questionnaire responses were evaluated. The primary outcome was composite surgical success rate at the last follow-up, composite success being defined as no vaginal bulge symptoms, no POP-Q point at or beyond the hymen and no re-treatment for POP. Secondary outcomes included anatomic outcomes (POP-Q score), symptomatic relief and complications. RESULTS The median follow-up was 37.3 months. At the last follow-up, the composite success rate was 75%, and POP-Q scores for the vault and posterior wall and quality of life questionnaire scores were significantly improved (p < 0.01). The subjective satisfaction (PGI-I ≤ 2) rate was 83.3%. There were no mesh-related complications. CONCLUSIONS Ultralight mesh can achieve good clinical outcomes and substantially improve the quality of life of patients with severe recurrent PVP in the medium term, and may thus be a viable alternative for treating this condition.

Abstract
First-aid hemostatic agents for acute bleeding can save lives in emergency situations. However, rapid hemostasis remains challenging when uncontrolled hemorrhage occurs on lethal noncompressible and irregular wounds. Herein, cellulose-based cryogel microspheres with deliberately customized micromorphologies for ultrafast water transportation and diffusion, including the shark skin riblet-inspired wrinkled surface with low fluid drag and the hydrophilic nanoporous 3D networks, are developed to deal with the acute noncompressible bleeding within seconds. These cryogel microspheres can rapidly absorb a large amount of blood over 6 times their own weight in 10 s and form a robust barrier to seal a bleeding wound without applying pressure. Remarkably, massive bleeding from a cardiac penetrating hole is effectively stopped using the microspheres within 20 s and no blood leakage is observed after 30 min. Additionally, these microspheres could be readily removed without rebleeding and capillary thrombus, which is highly favorable to rapid hemostasis in emergency rescue.

With the transformation of the supply chain from factor driven to investment driven and to innovation driven, supply chain innovation has attracted more and more attention. This paper obtains the Bayesian prior probability of innovation and studies the supply chain innovation path from the perspective of strategy and behavior. The model divides the overall innovation capability of the supply chain into specific node tasks and assets (Capability Set), and the innovation demand of the supply chain is expressed in the form of the conditional probability of market demand. Under the conditions of minimum risk, minimum cost, and rapid market response, it determines who should lead the supply chain innovation first and what type of supply chain innovation should be carried out first. Finally, taking the supply chain of the professional market in Zhejiang Province as an example, this paper verifies the theoretical model of supply chain innovation decision-making. The innovation of the supply chain of Zhejiang's specialized market is decomposed into the capability set of each enterprise node of the supply chain. This paper transforms the group innovation ability of the supply chain in the professional market into the individual innovation ability of a single enterprise node and reveals the starting point and intensity of the demand innovation of products/services in the supply chain.

Abstract
We demonstrate record ∼0.9% efficiencies for optical conversion to narrowband (<1% relative bandwidth) terahertz (THz) radiation by strongly cascaded difference frequency generation. These results are achieved using a novel, to the best of our knowledge, laser source, customized for high efficiencies, with two narrow spectral lines of variable separation and pulse duration (≥250 ps). THz radiation generation in 5% MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystals of varying poling period was explored at cryogenic and room temperature operation as well as with different crystal lengths. This work addresses an increasing demand for high-field THz radiation pulses which has, up to now, been largely limited by low optical-to-THz radiation conversion efficiencies.

Abstract
Purpose Transplant patients represent a cohort in which COVID-19 (C19) may stimulate an unpredictable clinical course. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of C19 infection on AlloMap gene expression profiling (AM) and AlloSure donor derived cell free DNA (AS) results in patients post heart transplant. Methods The Surveillance Using HeartCare Outcomes Registry (SHORE) is a multicenter study for post heart transplant patients followed with AM/AS for 5 years. Patients enrolled were analyzed based on C19 . AM/AS were evaluated before, at the time and following infection. Both individual trends and the differences between the median AS and AS levels were studied. Nonparametric tests were used to assess categorical and longitudinal variables. Results 21 patients developed C19 infection; 16 (76%) were males, median age 50 years. There was no significant difference in AM or AS in stable patients (no rejection, CAV, graft dysfunction, dnDSA) compared to the first AM/AS profile in the C19+ patients, Figure 1. Event rates in C19+ patients are described in Table 1. 12 C19+ patients had 28 biopsies, 2 of which were within 30 days of C19. 1 patient had ACR 2R and another AMR 1; all other biopsies were <ACR 2R/AMR1. Additionally, 5 patients developed dnDSA and 7 patients developed subsequent CMV viremia, a median of 67 and 158 days after C19 diagnosis, respectively. No CAV, graft dysfunction, or deaths were reported in this small group of C19+ patients. Conclusion The presence of C19 infection is not associated with a significant increase in AS or AM scores, suggesting AS and AM are not confounded by C19 and can be used safely as non-invasive surveillance in this population.

Abstract
With the motivation to study how non-magnetic ion site disorder affects the quantum magnetism of Ba3CoSb2O9, a spin-1/2 equilateral triangular lattice antiferromagnet, we performed DC and AC susceptibility, specific heat, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements on single crystalline samples of Ba2.87Sr0.13CoSb2O9with Sr doping on non-magnetic Ba2+ion sites. The results show that Ba2.87Sr0.13CoSb2O9exhibits (i) a two-step magnetic transition at 2.7 K and 3.3 K, respectively; (ii) a possible canted 120 degree spin structure at zero field with reduced ordered moment as 1.24μB/Co; (iii) a series of spin state transitions for bothH∥ab-plane andH∥c-axis. ForH∥ab-plane, the magnetization plateau feature related to the up-up-down phase is significantly suppressed; (iv) an inelastic neutron scattering spectrum with only one gapped mode at zero field, which splits to one gapless and one gapped mode at 9 T. All these features are distinctly different from those observed for the parent compound Ba3CoSb2O9, which demonstrates that the non-magnetic ion site disorder (the Sr doping) plays a complex role on the magnetic properties beyond the conventionally expected randomization of the exchange interactions. We propose the additional effects including the enhancement of quantum spin fluctuations and introduction of a possible spatial anisotropy through the local structural distortions.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of ultrasonic parameter settings on maximum temperatures in the drilling site and penetration time and determine the most suitable parameters for efficient and safe robot-based ultrasonic bone drilling in spinal surgery. Methods: Five adult bovine thoracic and lumbar vertebrae specimens (T10-L6) were cut into 10 mm thick slices. A total of 50 slices were obtained. Among them, 30 and 20 slices were used for cancellous bone experiments and cortical bone experiments, respectively. In the cancellous bone experiment, the slices were randomly divided into three groups, corresponding to different feed rates of 0.8 mm/s, 1.6 mm/s, and 2.4 mm/s, respectively, with 10 slices in each group. The cancellous part of each slice was drilled 9 times with different output powers from 20% (48 W) to 100% (120 W). In the cortical bone experiment, the slices were randomly assigned into two groups, corresponding to a different feed rate (0.8 mm/s and 1.6 mm/s). Drilling was performed on the cortical part of each slice 4 times with different output power, which increased from 70% (84W) to 100% (120 W). All experiments were conducted at room temperature of 25 ℃. Maximum temperature and penetration time were recorded. The maximum grinding temperature and penetration time of cancellous bone and cortical bone under different output power and feed rate were compared. Results: At the same feed rate, the maximum temperature of the cancellous bone decreased as output power increased. There were statistically significant differences in the maximum temperature between the output powers of 120 W and 24 W under different feed rates(61.2 ℃±9.4 ℃ vs 70.9 ℃±5.7 ℃, 59.2 ℃±7.1 ℃ vs 69.5 ℃±10.7 ℃, 55.5 ℃±5.5 ℃ vs 69.2 ℃±9.3 ℃, all P<0.05). At the premise of the same output power, there was no significant difference in the maximum temperature among different feed rates (all P>0.05). At the feed rate of 0.8 mm/s, the maximum temperature of cortical bone decreased as the output power increased. The maximum temperature at the output power of 120 W was significantly lower than that of 84 W (P=0.048). However, at the feed rate of 1.6 mm/s, the maximum temperature could not be significantly lowered by the increase in output power (P>0.05). Under the same output power, the maximum temperature at the feed rate of 1.6 mm/s were all significantly lower than those of 0.8 mm/s (all P<0.05). The penetration time of cancellous bone did not decrease significantly with the increase in the output power (all P>0.05) while it decreased significantly as the feed rate increased (all P<0.05). Regarding cortical bone at the feed rate of 0.8 mm/s, the increase in output power could not shorten the penetration time (P>0.05); at the feed rate of 1.6 mm/s, the penetration time at the output power of 120 W was significantly shorter than that of 96 W (P=0.008). With the same output power, the penetration time at the feed rate of 1.6 mm/s were significantly shorter than those at 0.8 mm/s (all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the penetration failure rate among different feed rates with the same output power (all P>0.05). The penetration failure rate was 0 when the output power of cancellous bone was 48 W and above and the output power of cortical bone were 108 W and 120 W. Conclusions: The maximum temperature of vertebral cancellous bone and the cortical bone is primarily influenced by the output power and the feed rate, respectively; the penetration time of cancellous bone and the cortical bone is affected by the feed rate and both of feed rate and output power, respectively. The most suitable parameters are output power of 120 W and feed rate of 2.4 mm/s for cancellous bone and output power of 120 W and feed rate of 1.6 mm/s for cortical bone.

Abstract
Bone defect caused by trauma, neoplasia, congenital defects, or periodontal disease is a major cause of disability and physical limitation. The transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) promotes bone repair and regeneration. However, it has been shown that most BMSCs die within a short period after transplantation. During apoptosis, BMSCs generate a large number of apoptotic cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ApoEVs). This study aims to understand the potential role of ApoEVs in craniofacial bone defect repair and regeneration. First, we confirmed that BMSCs undergo apoptosis within 2 d after transplantation into the defect of the cranium. Abundant ApoEVs were generated from apoptotic BMSCs. Uptake of ApoEVs efficiently promoted the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of recipient BMSCs in vitro. ApoEVs from cells in the middle stage of apoptosis were the most efficient to enhance the regenerative capacity of BMSCs. Moreover, a critical size bone defect model in rats was used to evaluate the osteogenic property of ApoEVs in vivo. Local transplantation of ApoEVs promoted bone regeneration in the calvarial defect. Mechanistically, ApoEVs promoted new bone formation by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species to activate JNK signaling. This study reveals a previously unknown role of the dying transplanted BMSCs in promoting the viability of endogenous BMSCs and repairing the calvarial defects. Since it could avoid several adverse effects and limits of BMSC cytotherapy, treatment of ApoEVs might be a promising strategy in craniofacial bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Over the past few years, cellulose nanosphere (CNS) has gained growing attention and rapid development. As a new type of nanocellulose materials, CNS can be prepared from native cellulose by using methods which have been adopted extensively to prepare the well-known nanocelluloses, i.e., cellulose nanofiber and cellulose nanocrystal. The particular interest is that the regenerated cellulose and mercerized cellulose can also be used as important feedstocks to produce CNS. In this review, the preparation methods of CNS are described and discussed, via both top-down processes, including chemical, mechanical, and enzymolysis ones, and bottom-up processes by using various cellulose I and II starting materials. This review also highlights the researches relative to cellulose composite nanospheres, and summarizes the applications of spherical cellulose-based nanoparticles. Finally, the future challenges and opportunities of CNS are prospected in this work.

Abstract
Iron corrosion is a subject of great technological importance and extensive public concern. However, the highly efficient detection of iron corrosion at early stage is still a challenging task. Herein, bright fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with superior response to Fe3+ were prepared by simple solvothermal process based on citric acid and ammonia. The obtained CDs are able to rapidly, sensitively and selectively respond to Fe3+. The quantitative analysis showed that the CDs exhibited a linear response to Fe3+ in the range of 10 to 300 µM, with a detection limit of 0.9 μM. And the fluorescence quenching of CDs was obvious enough to be detected by the naked eyes. Such promising responsiveness of CDs offers a great opportunity for real-time and visual detection of Fe3+ during electrochemical corrosion process. In addition, due to the excellent stability and solubility of CDs, patterned papers and hydrogels have been fabricated utilizing cellulose and PVA as matrices. The as-prepared biocompatible, environmental-friendly and disposable CDs based fluorescent materials were successfully used for detecting the degree of iron corrosion. This could provide a simple and visual strategy for monitoring the safety of structural metal materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several studies have documented that dietary fiber was inversely associated with a variety of diseases, but the association of dietary fiber with the prognosis of older adults with hypertension is unknown. The aim was to assess the association of dietary fiber with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older adults with hypertension. METHODS This study enrolled 4906 participants (51.6% were female) aged 65 years or older with hypertension in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2014 and ascertained mortality through December 31, 2015. Dietary fiber intake data were assessed by using a 24-h recall survey. Participants were grouped by dietary fiber intake quartiles: Q1(fiber < 10.20, g/day), Q2 (10.20 ≤ fiber < 14.45, g/day), Q3 (14.45 ≤ fiber < 19.85, g/day), and Q4 (19.85 ≤ fiber, g/day). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the associations of dietary fiber intake with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and restricted cubic spline models were applied to reveal the relationship between dietary fiber intake and mortality. RESULTS Over the median follow-up duration of 70 months (interquartile range: 38-100 months), 1369 participants were determined as all-cause mortality (27.9%) and 270 participants were identified as cardiovascular mortality (5.5%). In the fully adjusted model, the higher dietary fiber intake group was associated with relatively lower all-cause (Q4 vs Q1: 0.68 (0.58, 0.80); P for trend <0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (Q4 vs Q1: 0.64 (0.45, 0.92); P for trend =0.010). The non-linear relationship was not observed between dietary fiber intake and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSIONS Higher dietary fiber intake was significantly associated with decreased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older adults with hypertension. Increasing dietary fiber intake may improve the prognosis of older adults with hypertension.

Abstract
As one of the important photochromic molecules, spiropyran (SP) compounds are widely used as detectors and fluorescence probes in the environment and bio-imaging field. Although great achievements have been attained for various sophisticated spiropyrans in metal ion sensing, less success is achieved in sensing organic molecules due to the weak interaction between the spiropyran and the target of the organic molecule. In this study, a spiropyran derivative containing a hydroxyl group (SPOH) was employed for the recognition of four kinds of amines via ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra. The aliphatic primary amines, aromatic primary amines, aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines, aromatic secondary and tertiary amines were successfully distinguished according to the shapes and trends of their UV-Vis absorption spectra. The chemical reaction between aliphatic, aromatic primary amines and SPOH as well as alkalinity are two vital interaction mechanisms for the recognition process which are testified by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Although SP is generally water-insoluble, it is easy to achieve soluble by fixing SPOH inside micelle or vesicle and thus the results in this study is meaningful for amine recognition utility in environments and biological systems.

Abstract
Type H vessel is a specific vessel subtype that is strongly positive for CD31 and endomucin (CD31hiEmcnhi). It has already been identified that it can tightly regulate the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in the long bone of mice and human beings. The long bone is formed through endochondral ossification, which is the same type of process happening in mandibular condyle. Although the ossification of long bone and mandibular condyle has the same developmental process, the existence of type H vessels in the mouse condyle remains unclear. To address this, we identified that abundant type H vessels existed in the subchondral bone of the mouse condylar head and endosteum of the mouse condylar neck. Meanwhile, immunofluorescence imaging of the condyles in different ages of male C57BL/6J mice demonstrated that type H vessels decreased while aging. Furthermore, we validated a positive correlation between type H vessels and Osterix+ osteoprogenitors in the condyle induced by mandibular advancement. Mechanistically, we confirmed that deferoxamine mesylate, which promoted the proliferation of type H endothelial cells by activating hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) signaling pathways, largely prevented the osteopenia in the condyle induced by botulinum toxin type A. Collectively, these results demonstrate that in the mouse condyle, type H vessels in areas of high function positively correlate with bone formation. In addition, we show a novel influence of HIF-1α signaling on osteogenesis via an increase in type H vessels. In conclusion, promoting angiogenesis of type H vessels is a promising strategy for the therapeutic improvement of osteogenesis in mandibular condyle.

Abstract
Oral organoids are complex 3-dimensional structures that develop from stem cells or organ-specific progenitors through a process of self-organization and re-create architectures and functionalities similar to in vivo organs and tissues in the oral and maxillofacial region. Recently, striking advancements have been made in the construction and application of oral organoids of the tooth, salivary gland, and tongue. Dental epithelial and mesenchymal cells isolated from tooth germs or derived from pluripotent stem cells could generate tooth germ-like organoids by self-organization in a specific culture system. Tooth organoids can also be constructed based on tissue engineering principles by seeding stem cells on a scaffold with the bioregulatory functions of odontogenic differentiation. Two main approaches have been used to construct salivary gland organoids: 1) incubation of salivary gland-derived stem/progenitor cells in a 3-dimensional culture system to form the structure of the gland through mimicking regenerative processes and 2) inducing of pluripotent stem cells to generate embryonic salivary glands by replicating the development process. Taste bud organoids can be generated by embedding isolated circumvallate papilla tissue in Matrigel with a mixture of growth factors, while lingual epithelial organoids have been constructed using lingual stem cells in a suitable culture system containing specific signaling molecules. These oral organoids usually maintain the main functions and characteristic structures of the corresponding organ to a certain extent. Furthermore, using cells isolated from patients, oral organoids could replicate specific diseases such as maxillofacial tumors and tooth dysplasia. Until now, oral organoids have been applied in the study of mechanisms of tooth development, pathology and regeneration of the salivary gland, and precision therapeutics for tongue cancer. These findings strongly demonstrate that the organoid technique is a novel paradigm for the study of the development, pathology, and regeneration of oral and maxillofacial tissue.

Abstract
AIM As the understanding of anal dysplasia continues to develop, controversy remains regarding treatment of these lesions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate lesion type (flat vs exophytic) and the association between morphology and dysplasia. METHODS This was a single-centre retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected pathological database of patients > 17 years old who underwent operative excision/biopsies for presumed anal condyloma or dysplasia from 2009 to 2018. The analysis includes comparisons between patient factors, phenotype and grade of dysplasia. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients had 423 lesions. The mean age of the study population was 48.2 years. 62.3% were men and 46.4% of patients were black. 47.8% of patients were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive and 39.1% were men who have sex with men (MSM). There were 176 (41.6%) flat lesions and 234 (55.3%) exophytic lesions. Exophytic lesions were 2.5-fold more likely to be associated with a higher grade of dysplasia than flat lesions (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.09-6.32). Neither lesion type nor dysplasia severity was associated with human papillomavirus, lesion location or patient characteristics, including race, MSM or HIV status. DISCUSSION Exophytic lesions were more than twice as likely to have advanced dysplasia compared with flat lesions. A clearer understanding of the association between gross lesion appearance and dysplasia will allow more appropriate counselling of patients and the development of better screening and treatment guidelines for anal condylomata and dysplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DTI has been proved valuable for the diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy, whereas its capacity for predicting the outcome of surgery is still under debate. Here we conduct a prospective cohort study to analyze the capacity of DTI for evaluating and predicting laminoplasty surgery outcome for degenerative cervical myelopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited 55 patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy who underwent DTI before surgery and at 3- and 6-month follow-up stages, and 20 healthy subjects. For clinical assessment, the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale was recorded for each patient at different stages. DTI metrics were compared between patients before surgery and healthy subjects. Spearman correlation and receiver operating characteristic were used to analyze the evaluation and prediction capacity of DTI for the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale, respectively. We analyzed different vertebral levels: maximal compression level, average of all compression levels, and C2 level. RESULTS DTI metrics were significantly different between patients before surgery and healthy subjects. Before surgery, DTI for the maximal compression level or DTI for the average of all compression levels had no significant correlation with the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale. For all stages, DTI at the C2 level was correlated with the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale. DTI metrics at the C2 level before surgery were significantly correlated with the postoperative modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale recovery rate. Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that fractional anisotropy at C2 was capable of predicting the postoperative modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale recovery rate (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS The DTI metrics before laminoplasty surgery, especially fractional anisotropy at the C2 level, have the potential for evaluating and predicting the degenerative cervical myelopathy surgery outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify whether preconception paternal smoking has any adverse effects on the offspring. DESIGN Prospective, population-based study. SETTING Preconception registry data from the National Free Preconception Health Examination Project. POPULATION OR SAMPLE Couples planning pregnancy, with complete information on preconception paternal smoking behaviour and pregnancy outcomes. METHODS The effect of questionnaire-based paternal smoking behaviour during preconception and pregnancy was assessed via logistic regression. Additionally, we performed a 1:1 case-control (birth defects versus normal pregnancy) analysis, matched for maternal province, folic acid supplementation and paternal alcohol consumption. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Risk of birth defects in offspring. RESULTS In total, 566 439 couples with complete information on preconception paternal smoking behaviour and pregnancy outcomes were enrolled. The preconception paternal smoking rate was 28.7% (162 482) overall: 8.7% (49 303) stopped smoking, 13.3% (75 517) decreased their smoking, and 6.6% (37 662) continued smoking during early pregnancy. The risk of birth defects was higher in the continued-smoking (P < .000, odds ratio [OR] 1.87, 95% CI 1.36-2.56) and decreased-smoking groups (P = .007, OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.10-1.82). In the case-control analysis, infants whose fathers stopped (P = .003, OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.15-0.67) or decreased smoking (P = .000, OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.13-0.49) were at lower risk of congenital heart diseases, limb abnormalities, digestive tract anomalies and neural tube defects than those whose fathers continued smoking. CONCLUSION Preconception paternal smoking may be associated with congenital heart diseases, limb abnormalities and neural tube defects in the offspring. Changes in smoking behaviour may reduce this risk. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT This study suggests that preconception paternal smoking is associated with birth defects in offspring. Changes in smoking behaviour may reduce this risk.

Abstract
It is practical and challenging to construct ultrasensitive and multi-responsive sensors for visual and real-time monitoring of the environment. Herein, a cellulose-based multi-responsive fluorescent sensor (Phen-MDI-CA) is fabricated, and realizes a visual and ultrasensitive detection of not only various amines but also three anions based on the change of the fluorescence and/or visible colors. Once exposure to various amines in both the solution and vapor state, the Phen-MDI-CA solution and test paper exhibit different fluorescence colors, which can be used to distinguish triethylamine, ethylenediamine, methylamine, aniline, hydrazine and pyrrolidine from other amines. Moreover, via combining the Phen-MDI-CA with the Phen-MDI-CA/malachite green ratiometric system, phosphate (PO43-), carbonate (CO32-) and borate (B4O72-) can be visually and accurately recognized depending on the change of the visible and fluorescence colors. In fluorescent mode, the LOD for B4O72-, PO43- and CO32- ions is as low as 0.18 nmol, 0.69 nmol and 0.86 nmol, respectively. Significantly, the Phen-MDI-CA can readily make a qualitative and quantitative detection of B4O72-, PO43- and CO32- anions in the mixture of anions. The state-of-the-art responsive behavior of Phen-MDI-CA originates from the amplification effect of cellulose polymer chain and the differentiated interactions between the sensor and analytes.

Abstract
Vertical malocclusion is a developmental condition, resulting from complex interactions among multiple etiological factors during the growth period. As a tricky dentofacial deformity clinically, long-face (LF) morphology is characterized by excessive vertical facial growth with severe disarrangement of jaws and teeth. Since the improvement of LF patients on facial profile and occlusion is often difficult and lacks long-term stability, it becomes important to unravel the etiology of LF pattern formation for early prevention and treatment. In the current studies, we identified a transgenic mouse model that exhibited a dysplastic coronoid process and LF morphology. Although the mutant mice exhibited jaw structures and occlusion comparable to controls at birth, they all acquired typical LF morphology with anterior open bite during postnatal growth, resembling clinical features of the selected skeletal class III patients. Since the coronoid process provides an insertion site for the temporalis attachment, we examined the initial development and differentiation of the temporalis and found identical results in both control and mutant mice before E17.5 when the temporal muscle makes attachment to the coronoid process. However, thereafter, we observed altered orientation and reduced size of the cross-sectional area of the temporalis in mutant mice, which persisted to the weaning stage. Biomechanical analysis and simulation modeling further support the idea that altered morphology of the coronoid process may impair the efficiency of the vertical temporalis contraction and appears to correlate with LF formation. Consistently, we present evidence that a dysplastic mandibular coronoid process was also seen in some human patients with skeletal III LF morphology. Taken together, the results presented in this study establish an association of the craniofacial bony structures with vertical patterning, which will have implications in earlier prediction for clinical precaution and intervention.

Abstract
Background and purposeMicrocatheterization is an important, but also difficult, technique used for the embolization of intracranial aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in microcatheter shaping.MethodsNine cases of internal carotid artery posterior communicating artery aneurysm diagnosed by CT angiography were selected, and 3D printing technology was used to build a 3D model including the aneurysm and the parent artery. The hollow and translucent model had certain flexibility; it was immersed in water and the microcatheter was introduced into the water to the target position in the aneurysm, followed by heating the water temperature to 50°C. After soaking for 5 min, the microcatheter was taken out and the shaping was completed. After sterilization, the shaped microcatheter was used for arterial aneurysm embolization and evaluation was conducted.ResultsNine cases of microcatheter shaping were satisfactory and shaping the needle was not necessary; no rebound was observed. The microcatheter was placed in an ideal position, and the stent-assisted method was used in three cases of wide-neck aneurysm. There were no complications related to surgery.ConclusionA new microcatheter shaping method using 3D printing technology makes intracranial artery aneurysm embolization more stable and efficient.

Abstract
Tooth morphogenesis involves dynamic changes in shape and size as it proceeds through the bud, cap, and bell stages. This process requires exact regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. Smad7, a general antagonist against transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling, is necessary for maintaining homeostasis and proper functionality in many organs. While TGF-β signaling is widely involved in tooth morphogenesis, the precise role of Smad7 in tooth development remains unknown. In this study, we showed that Smad7 is expressed in the developing mouse molars with a high level in the dental epithelium but a moderate to weak level in the dental mesenchyme. Smad7 deficiency led to a profound decrease in tooth size primarily due to a severely compromised cell proliferation capability in the dental epithelium. Consistent with the tooth shrinkage phenotype, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis revealed that Smad7 ablation downregulated genes referred to epithelial cell proliferation and cell cycle G1/S phase transition, whereas the upregulated genes were involved in responding to TGF-β signaling and cell cycle arrest. Among these genes, the expression of Cdkn1a (encoding p21), a negative cell proliferation regulator, was remarkably elevated in parallel with the diminution of Ccnd1 encoding the crucial cell cycle regulator cyclin D1 in the dental epithelium. Meanwhile, the expression level of p-Smad2/3 was ectopically elevated in the developing tooth germ of Smad7 null mice, indicating the hyperactivation of the canonical TGF-β signaling. These effects were reversed by addition of TGF-β signaling inhibitor in cell cultures of Smad7-/- molar tooth germs, with rescued expression of cyclin D1 and cell proliferation rate. In sum, our studies demonstrate that Smad7 functions primarily as a positive regulator of cell proliferation via inhibition of the canonical TGF-β signaling during dental epithelium development and highlight a crucial role for Smad7 in regulating tooth size.

Abstract
Herein, a simple, effective, and general strategy is demonstrated to obtain a water-soluble and nontoxic cellulose-based photosensitizer (CPS) with enhanced photodynamic antibacterial activity through introducing protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) groups onto the cellulose backbone. The synergistic effect of the anchoring and diluting effect of the cellulose backbone and the electrostatic repulsion between QAS groups effectively inhibit the π-π stacking of PpIX groups, thus the as-prepared CPS exhibits markedly enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield. Meanwhile, the positively charged QAS groups endow the CPS with water-solubility and a strong attractive force to bacteria. As a result, the CPS can rapidly and efficiently kill drug-resistant bacteria strains, including E. coli and S. aureus, with a low light dose (2.4 J cm-2 ) and low concentration of PpIX groups (0.35 × 10-6 m). Benefiting from the excellent processability and formability, the CPS is readily applied as a sunlight-driven wearable and robust antibacterial coating by a spray coating and later crosslinking procedure.

Abstract
In this paper, polyaniline/attapulgite (PANI/APT)-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) composites were synthesized by liquid-phase chemical reduction method and used for the removal of two kinds of dyes. The structure of as-prepared nZVI/PANI/APT was characterized by various test methods. The removal property and degradation mechanism for azo (alizarin yellow R, methyl red, chrome black T, methyl orange) and non-azo (methylene blue, rhodamine B) dyes in aqueous solution were investigated. The presence of PANI/APT can decrease the aggregation of nZVI particles with maintenance of reactivity and improving adsorption capacity for degradation azo dye. The experiment results showed that the removal property of the composite materials on azo dyes is obviously better than that on non-azo dyes. The varying removal efficiencies of dyes depend on the different degradation mechanisms. Azo dyes removal by nZVI/PANI/APT was mainly due to the reductive cleavage of the N = N of nZVI, while non-azo dyes removal mainly contributes to the adsorption of PANI/APT. The study demonstrated that nZVI/PANI/APT has potential applications for the removal of azo dyes from wastewaters.

Abstract
Abstract
The AURKA gene, encoding Aurora kinase-A (Aurora-A), is frequently amplified and overexpressed across multiple cancer types correlating with poor prognosis. Although the AURKA gene is frequently amplified in human cancers, underlying mechanism(s) for Aurora-A protein stability through different phases of cell cycle are not well elucidated. Inhibiting the kinase activity and promoting protein degradation are two well-validated conceptual strategies for targeting protein kinases in cancers. Here, we demonstrate that Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 1 Alpha 2 (eEF1A2) facilitates PTEN-GSK3β mediated Aurora-A protein degradation through the SCF complex (SKP1-Cul1-FBXW7) during the S/G2 phase of proliferating cells. In contrast, this mechanism is inactivated in cancer cells accompanying PTEN-GSK3β pathway deficiency. Mechanistically, eEF1A2 interacts with Aurora-A, GSK3β, FBXW7 and Cul1-E3 ligase, as the SCF complex, to facilitate Aurora-A polyubiquitination for 26S proteasomal degradation. eEF1A2 promotes PTEN phosphorylation at T366 and stability, inactivates AKT and activates GSK3β which in turn phosphorylates Aurora-A at S283, S284 and S342. The phosphorylation of Aurora-A at S342 is detected during S/G2 phase of cell mitosis in parallel with eEF1A2-SCF complex formation with active form of GSK3β and neddylated Cul1. Conversely, genetic ablation of EEF1A2 and PTEN, activation of AKT, inhibition of GSK3β, expression of Aurora-A phosphodeficient-mutant attenuates the Aurora-A protein degradation which is corroborated in Aurora-A overexpressing mouse mammary carcinomas and human breast carcinomas. This study identifies a novel mechanism of Aurora-A protein degradation mediated eEF1A2-PTEN-GSK3β pathway and provides a framework for the discovery of Aurora-A therapeutic targets in breast cancer that harbors deficiency of PTEN tumor suppressor pathway.

Abstract
Herein, we design and prepare cellulose-based ratiometric fluorescent materials with superior amine-response, which offers the real-time and visual detection of seafood freshness. Through utilizing the reactive hydroxyl groups along cellulose chains, we covalently immobilize the fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as indicator and protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) as internal reference onto cellulose acetate (CA), respectively. Subsequently, a series of dual-emission solid fluorescent materials are achieved by simply blending green emitting CA-FITC with red-emitting CA-PpIX with varying ratios. They exhibit a sensitive, color-responsive, rapid and linear response to ammonia in a wide range of 5.0 ppm to 2.5 × 104 ppm. Benefiting from the excellent solubility and processibility of cellulose derivatives, the as-prepared materials are readily processed into different material forms, including printing ink, coating, flexible film, and nanofibrous membrane. The electrospun nanofibrous membrane is successfully employed as a low-cost, high-contrasting, quick-responsive fluorescent trademark for visual monitoring the freshness of shrimp and crab.

Abstract
Precise determination of pH values with an instrument-free mode is challenging and practical in industry processes, life science, and environmental monitoring. Here, taking advantage of the intramolecular charge transfer process, we construct a cellulose-based superior pH sensor, Phen-MDI-CA, which contains a highly sensitive, pH-responsive, and extended conjugation structure by combining phenanthroline moiety as a chromophore with urea group as a bridge. The resultant Phen-MDI-CA can precisely and visually determine pH values under extreme acidic and strong basic environments, depending on the different colors. In visible light mode, Phen-MDI-CA can readily discriminate the pH values of 14.0, 13.0, 12.0, and 11.0 and distinguish pH 2.0 from 1.0 by the naked eye. In fluorescent mode, Phen-MDI-CA can recognize more accurate pH values of pH 11.6-13.2 at a 0.2-0.4 pH interval by the high-contrasting color change. After addition of pH-irresponsive dyes as the reference, the corresponding ratiometric systems exhibit different colors at a 0.2-0.4 pH interval during the pH values of 11.0-14.0 and 1.0-2.0. Benefiting from the excellent formability, the Phen-MDI-CA was readily fabricated into pH test strips by coating method. To our knowledge, this is the first study to monitor extreme acidity and strong basicity in such precise pH values with an instrument-free mode.

Abstract
Objective: To systematically investigate PIK3CA mutations in isolated macrodactyly. Methods: Overgrowth tissues from 12 isolated macrodactyly patients who were treated at Department of Hand Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from May to August 2017 were collected during operation.There were 6 male and 6 female patients with average age of 4.5 years. DNA was tested for PIK3CA mutation using a targeted Sanger DNA sequencing method.Samples with negative Sanger result were tested with a next generation DNA sequencing(NGS)panel targeting 47 cancer hotspot genes including PIK3CA. Results: By targeted Sanger sequencing, PIK3CA mutations were detected in 9 of the 12 patients, with mutation level ranging from 7% to 27%.The PIK3CA mutations observed were p. His1047Arg, p.His1047Leu, p.Glu545Lys, and p. Glu542Lys.NGS found p. Glu453Lys in one additional patient, allowing the total positive rate to 10/12.All PIK3CA mutations detected in the study were cancer hotspot mutations.Among all tissue types tested, adipose tissue had the highest mutation detection rate(9/9), followed by nerve(10/12) and skin(10/12). Conclusions: A high proportion of isolated macrodactyly patients carry a PIK3CA mutation.Adipose, nerve, and skin are ideal tissue resources for PIK3CA mutation detection.Targeted Sanger sequencing with reflex to NGS represents a cost-effective strategy to test PIK3CA mutations in isolated macrodactyly.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of cervical artificial disc replacement for patients with cervical disc herniation and degenerative cervical canal stenosis. Methods: Total of sixty-eight patients underwent single-level Bryan artificial disc replacement in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from December 2003 to December 2007 with a minimum 10-year follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. There were 43 males and 25 females with a mean age of (46±8) years. According to preoperative CT and MRI, the patients were divided into two groups: 27 patients in cervical disc herniation group and 41 patients in degenerative cervical canal stenosis group. The evaluation indexes before surgery and at last follow-up were compared between two groups. The clinical indexes included Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, neck disability index (NDI) and Odom's grade; and the radiological indexes included the global and segmental range of motion (ROM), Cobb's angle at operated level. The continuous variable data were analyzed by independent sample t test. Results: In cervical disc herniation group, the improvement rate of JOA score was 83%±22%, NDI% decreased by 14%±9%, and Odom's grade was excellent in 17 patients, good in 10 patients. In degenerative cervical canal stenosis group, the improvement rate of JOA was 68%±34%, NDI% decreased by 11%±7%, and Odom's grade was excellent in 19 patients, good in 18 patients, fair in 4 patients. The segmental ROM was 10°±4° and 7°±6° in cervical disc herniation and degenerative cervical canal stenosis group at last follow-up (t=2.284, P=0.026). The global ROM was 50°±9° and 44°±14° in cervical disc herniation and degenerative cervical canal stenosis group at last follow-up (t=2.112, P=0.038). Conclusions: Cervical artificial disc replacement has a favorable long-term efficacy in treating cervical degenerative diseases. The postoperative global and segmental ROM in patients with cervical disc herniation are better than those in patients with degenerative cervical canal stenosis.

Abstract
A novel allelic variant in HLA-B*40 lineage, HLA-B*40:298:02, has been identified in an individual of Han ethnicity afflicted with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Hunan province, southern China. Following polymerase chain reaction-Sanger sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT), this new variant was further confirmed by two distinct strategies of cloning and sequencing. HLA-B*40:298:02 differs from HLA-B*40:298:01 by a single synonymous cytosine substitution at nucleotide position 26 (T→C) in exon 3, which corresponds to codon 99 of the mature HLA-B mRNA molecule. This new allele has an estimated frequency of 0.0002, in about 2,500 sequence-based typed subjects from the same population.
