Abstract
Objective: To understand the current status of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a multi-stage stratified sampling method to select 150 streets or townships from 10 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities (East: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hainan; Central: Henan; West: Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Xinjiang; Northeast: Liaoning). From May 2022 to April 2023, a total of 21 470 children, including community-based children aged 0.5 to<3.0 years receiving child health care and kindergarten-based children aged 3.0 to<7.0 years, were surveyed. They were divided into 3 age groups: infants (0.5 to<1.0 year), toddlers (1.0 to<3.0 years), and preschoolers (3.0 to<7.0 years). Basic information such as sex and date of birth of the children was collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained for routine blood tests and serum ferritin measurement. The prevalence rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were analyzed, and the prevalence rate differences were compared among different ages, sex, urban and rural areas, and regions using the chi-square test. Results: A total of 21 460 valid responses were collected, including 10 780 boys (50.2%). The number of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers were 2 645 (12.3%), 6 244 (29.1%), and 12 571 (58.6%), respectively. The hemoglobin level was (126.7±14.8) g/L, and the serum ferritin level was 32.3 (18.5, 50.1) μg/L. The overall rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were 10.4% (2 230/21 460), 28.3% (6 070/21 460), and 3.9% (845/21 460), respectively. The prevalence rate of anemia was higher for boys than for girls (10.9% (1 173/10 780) vs. 9.9% (1 057/10 680), χ2=5.58, P=0.018), with statistically significant differences in the rates for infants, toddlers and preschoolers (18.0% (475/2 645), 10.6% (662/6 244), and 8.7% (1 093/12 571), respectively, χ2=201.81, P<0.01), and the rate was significantly higher for children in rural than that in urban area (11.8% (1 516/12 883) vs. 8.3% (714/8 577), χ2=65.54, P<0.01), with statistically significant differences in the rates by region (χ2=126.60, P<0.01), with the highest rate of 15.8% (343/2 173) for children in Central region, and the lowest rate of 5.3% (108/2 053) in Northeastern region. The prevalence rates of iron deficiency were 33.8% (895/2 645), 32.2% (2 011/6 244), and 25.2% (3 164/12 571) in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, respectively, and 30.0% (3 229/10 780) in boys vs. 26.6% (2 841/10 680) in girls, 21.7% (1 913/8 821), 40.0% (870/2 173), 27.1% (2 283/8 413), 48.9% (1 004/2 053) in Eastern, Central, Western, and Northeastern regions, respectively, and each between-group showed a significant statistical difference (χ2=147.71, 29.73, 773.02, all P<0.01). The prevalence rate of iron-deficiency anemia showed a significant statistical difference between urban and rural areas, 2.9% (251/8 577) vs. 4.6% (594/12 883) (χ2=38.62, P<0.01), while the difference in iron deficiency prevalence was not significant (χ2=0.51, P=0.476). Conclusions: There has been a notable improvement in iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China, but the situation remains concerning. Particular attention should be paid to the prevention and control of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia, especially among infants and children in the Central, Western, and Northeastern regions of China.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and osteoarthritis (OA) are both senile degenerative diseases. Clinical studies have found that OA patients have a significantly increased risk of AD in their later life. This study hypothesized that chronic aseptic inflammation might lead to AD in KOA patients. However, current research has not yet clarified the potential mechanism between AD and KOA. Therefore, this study intends to use KOA transcriptional profiling and single-cell sequencing analysis technology to explore the molecular mechanism of KOA affecting AD development, and screen potential molecular biomarkers and drugs for the prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis of AD in KOA patients. It was found that the higher the expression of TXNIP, MMP3, and MMP13, the higher the risk coefficient of AD was. In addition, the AUC of TXNIP, MMP3, and MMP13 were all greater than 0.70, which had good diagnostic significance for AD. Finally, through the virtual screening of core proteins in FDA drugs and molecular dynamics simulation, it was found that compound Cobicistat could be targeted to TXNIP, Itc could be targeted to MMP3, and Isavuconazonium could be targeted to MMP13. To sum up, TXNIP, MMP3, and MMP13 are prospective molecular markers in KOA with AD, which could be used to predict, diagnose, and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have indicated that the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) index is associated with hypertension; however, evidence on the association of change in the TyG index with blood pressure and hypertension is limited. AIMS To assess the association of the TyG index with blood pressure and hypertension. DESIGN A cohort study. METHODS We included 17 977 individuals with a mean age of 60.5 years from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dl)×fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2]. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg, self-reported current use of antihypertensive medication or self-reported physician diagnosis of hypertension. RESULTS In the longitudinal analyses, we found a linear dose-response relationship between changes in the TyG index and change in blood pressure. Each one-unit change in the TyG index was associated with a 1.93 (1.23-2.63) mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and a 1.78 (1.42-2.16) mmHg increase in diastolic blood pressure (DBP). During a median follow-up of 9.37 years, a total of 3594 individuals were newly diagnosed with hypertension. We also found a linear dose-response relationship between the TyG index and the incidence of hypertension. The hazard ratio (HR) of hypertension for each one-unit increase in the TyG index was 1.21 (1.13-1.29). In addition, the best cut-off point of TyG for predicting hypertension was 8.4797, with sensitivity, and specificity of 57.85% and 55.40%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index had a positive dose-response relationship with blood pressure and could be used to predict the risk of hypertension.

Abstract
Background Skin wounds are a prevalent issue that can have severe health consequences if not treated correctly. Nanozymes offer a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of skin wounds, owing to their advantages in regulating redox homeostasis to reduce oxidative damage and kill bacteria. These properties make them an effective treatment option for skin wounds. However, most of current nanozymes lack the capability to simultaneously address inflammation, oxidative stress, and bacterial infection during the wound healing process. There is still great potential for nanozymes to increase their therapeutic functional diversity and efficacy. Methods Herein, copper-doped hollow mesopores cerium oxide (Cu-HMCe) nanozymes with multifunctional of antioxidant, antimicrobial and pro-vascularity is successfully prepared. Cu-HMCe can be efficiently prepared through a simple and rapid solution method and displays sound physiological stability. The biocompatibility, pro-angiogenic, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties of Cu-HMCe were assessed. Moreover, a full-thickness skin defect infection model was utilized to investigate the wound healing capacity, as well as anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic properties of nanozymes in vivo. Results Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have substantiated Cu-HMCe's remarkable biocompatibility. Moreover, Cu-HMCe possesses potent antioxidant enzyme-like catalytic activity, effectively clearing DPPH radicals (with a scavenging rate of 80%), hydroxyl radicals, and reactive oxygen species. Additionally, Cu-HMCe exhibits excellent antimicrobial and pro-angiogenic properties, with over 70% inhibition of both E. coli and S. aureus. These properties collectively promote wound healing, and the wound treated with Cu-HMCe achieved a closure rate of over 90% on the 14th day. Conclusion The results indicate that multifunctional Cu-HMCe with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and pro-angiogenic properties was successfully prepared and exhibited remarkable efficacy in promoting wound healing. This nanozymes providing a promising strategy for skin repair.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2 mapping in the assessment of dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM). Thirty-three confirmed cases (myosin group) and eight healthy volunteers (healthy control group) at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, from October 2016 to December 2017, were collected and analyzed. Multiple parameters of the myosin group were quantified, including creatine kinase (CK), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), complement C3, and complement C4. Disease status was evaluated using a panel of tools: myositis disease activity assessment tool-muscle (MDAAT-muscle), myositis disease activity assessment tool-whole (MDAAT-all), health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), medical outcomes study health survey short form-36 item (SF-36), hand muscle strength test (MMT-8) score, and MRI T2 mapping of muscle (22 muscles in the pelvis and thighs) T2 values. The results showed that in the myositis group, the measurements for CK, ESR, CRP, complement C3, and complement C4 were 457.2 (165.6, 1 229.2) IU/L, 20 (10, 42) mm/1h, 3.25 (2.38, 10.07) mg/L, 0.90 (0.83, 1.06) g/L, and 0.18 (0.14, 0.23) g/L, respectively. The scores for MMT-8, MDAAT-muscle, MDAAT-all, HAQ, and SF-36 were 57.12±16.23, 5.34 (4.00, 6.00), 34.63±12.62, 1.55 (0.66, 2.59), and 44.66±7.98, respectively. T2 values were significantly higher in all 22 muscles of the pelvis and thighs of patients with DM or PM compared with the healthy controls [(54.99±11.60)ms vs. (36.62±1.66)ms, P<0.001], with the most severe lesions in the satrorius, iliopsoas, piriformis, gluteus minimus, and gluteus medius muscles. The total muscle T2 value in the myositis group was positively correlated with CK, MDAAT-muscle, MDAAT-all, and HAQ (r=0.461, 0.506, 0.347, and 0.510, respectively, all P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between complement C4, SF-36, and MMT-8 scores (r=-0.424, -0.549, and -0.686, respectively, all P<0.05). Collectively, the findings from this study suggest that MRI T2 mapping can objectively reflect the disease status of DM and PM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for morbid obesity. However, a subset of individuals seeking bariatric surgery may exhibit a metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) phenotype, suggesting that they may not experience metabolic complications despite being overweight. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the prevalence and metabolic features of MHO in a population undergoing bariatric surgery. METHODS A representative sample of 665 participants aged 14 or older who underwent bariatric surgery at our center from January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2020 was included in this cohort study. MHO was defined based on specific criteria, including blood pressure, waist-to-hip ratio, and absence of diabetes. RESULTS Among the 665 participants, 80 individuals (12.0%) met the criteria for MHO. Female gender (P = .021) and younger age (P < .001) were associated with a higher likelihood of MHO. Smaller weight and BMI were observed in individuals with MHO. However, a considerable proportion of those with MHO exhibited other metabolic abnormalities, such as fatty liver (68.6%), hyperuricemia (55.3%), elevated lipid levels (58.7%), and abnormal lipoprotein levels (88%). CONCLUSION Approximately 1 in 8 individuals referred for bariatric surgery displayed the phenotype of MHO. Despite being metabolically healthy based on certain criteria, a significant proportion of individuals with MHO still exhibited metabolic abnormalities, such as fatty liver, hyperuricemia, elevated lipid levels, and abnormal lipoprotein levels, highlighting the importance of thorough metabolic evaluation in this population.

Abstract
AIM To assess the performance of diffusion-relaxation correlation spectrum imaging (DR-CSI) in the characterization of parotid gland tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five pleomorphic adenomas (PA) patients, 9 Warthin's tumors (WT) patients and 7 malignant tumors (MT) patients were prospectively recruited. DR-CSI (7 b-values combined with 5 TEs, totally 35 diffusion-weighted images) was scanned for pre-treatment assessment. Diffusion (D)-T2 signal spectrum summating all voxels were built for each patient, characterized by D-axis with range 0∼5 × 10-3 mm2/s, and T2-axis with range 0∼300ms. With boundaries of 0.5 and 2.5 × 10-3 mm2/s for D, all spectra were divided into three compartments labeled A (low D), B (mediate D) and C (high D). Volume fractions acquired from each compartment (VA, VB, VC) were compared among PA, WT and MT. Diagnostic performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic analysis and area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Each subtype of parotid tumors had their specific D-T2 spectrum. PA showed significantly lower VA (8.85 ± 4.77% vs 20.68 ± 10.85%), higher VB (63.40 ± 8.18% vs 43.05 ± 7.16%), and lower VC (27.75 ± 8.51% vs 36.27 ± 11.09) than WT (all p<0.05). VB showed optimal diagnostic performance (AUC 0.969, sensitivity 92.00%, specificity 100.00%). MT showed significantly higher VA (21.23 ± 12.36%), lower VB (37.09 ± 6.43%), and higher VC (41.68 ± 13.72%) than PA (all p<0.05). Similarly, VB showed optimal diagnostic performance (AUC 0.994, sensitivity 96.00%, specificity 100.00%). No significant difference of VA, VB and VC was found between WT and MT. CONCLUSIONS DR-CSI might be a promising and non-invasive way for characterizing parotid gland tumors.

Abstract
Introduction As an effective alternative choice to traditional mono-therapy, multifunctional nanoplatforms hold great promise for cancer therapy. Based on the strategies of Fenton-like reactions and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated therapy, black phosphorus (BP) nanoplatform BP@Cu2O@L-Arg (BCL) co-assembly of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and L-Arginine (L-Arg) nanoparticles was developed and evaluated for synergistic cascade breast cancer therapy. Methods Cu2O particles were generated in situ on the surface of the BP nanosheets, followed by L-Arg incorporation through electrostatic interactions. In vitro ROS/nitric oxide (NO) generation and glutathione (GSH) depletion were evaluated. In vitro and in vivo anti-cancer activity were also assessed. Finally, immune response of BCL under ultrasound was investigated. Results Cu2O was incorporated into BP to exhaust the overexpressed intracellular GSH in cancer cells via the Fenton reaction, thereby decreasing ROS consumption. Apart from being used as biocompatible carriers, BP nanoparticles served as sonosensitizers to produce excessive ROS under ultrasound irradiation. The enhanced ROS accumulation accelerated the oxidation of L-Arg, which further promoted NO generation for gas therapy. In vitro experiments revealed the outstanding therapeutic killing effects of BCL under ultrasound via mechanisms involving GSH deletion and excessive ROS and NO generation. In vivo studies have illustrated that the nanocomplex modified the immune response by promoting macrophage and CD8+ cell infiltration and inhibiting MDSC infiltration. Discussion BCL nanoparticles exhibited multifunctional characteristics for GSH depletion-induced ROS/NO generation, making a new multitherapy strategy for cascade breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the cutoff value for assessing small airway dysfunction in children with asthma. Methods: A total of 364 asthmatic children aged 5 to 14 years, with normal ventilatory function, followed up at the Asthma Clinic of the Children's Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2017 to January 2018, were selected as the case group. Concurrently, 403 healthy children of the same age range and without any symptoms in the community were chosen as the control group, and pulmonary function tests were conducted. The values of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow at 50% of FVC (FEF50), forced expiratory flow at 75% of FVC (FEF75) and maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) were compared between case group and control group. Statistical tests such as t-test, χ2 test, or Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the differences between the groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed, and the maximum Youden Index was utilized to determine the optimal cutoff values and thresholds for identifying small airway dysfunction in asthmatic children. Results: This study comprised 364 children in the case group (220 boys and 144 girls) and 403 children in the control group (198 boys and 205 girls). The small airway parameters (FEF50%pred, FEF75%pred, MMEF%pred) in the asthmatic group were significantly lower than in the control group (77% (69%, 91%) vs. 95% (83%, 109%), 67% (54%, 82%) vs. 84% (70%, 102%), 76% (66%, 90%) vs. 97% (86%, 113%), Z=12.03, 11.35, 13.66, all P<0.001). The ROC curve area under the curve for FEF50%pred, FEF75%pred, MMEF%pred was 0.75, 0.74, and 0.79, respectively. Using a cutoff value of 80% for FEF50%pred achieved a sensitivity of 56.9% and specificity of 81.4%. A cutoff value of 74% for FEF75%pred resulted in a sensitivity of 67.3% and specificity of 69.2%. Finally, using a cutoff value of 84% for MMEF%pred achieved a sensitivity of 67.9% and specificity of 77.2%. Conclusion: In the presence of normal ventilatory function, utilizing FEF50<80% predicted or MMEF<84% predicted can accurately serve as criteria for identifying small airway dysfunction in children with controlled asthma.

Abstract
Transformer-based models, exemplified by GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4, have recently garnered considerable attention in both academia and industry due to their promising performance in general language tasks. Nevertheless, these models typically involve computationally encoding processes, and in some cases, decoding processes as well, both of which are fundamentally large-scale matrix multiplication. These operations bring the inevitable challenges of massive computation resources and huge memory footprint, usually requiring at least 1023 FLOPs and hundreds of gigabytes, respectively. A common method to address this issue is to reduce the computational and memory requirements by applying layerwise quantization to the transformer, replacing the usual fp32 data type with a low-bit equivalent. Unfortunately, this method often leads to decreased model accuracy and necessitates time-consuming retraining. Such retraining not only requires fine-tuning skills but also substantial computational resources, posing challenges for users. To specifically tackle these issues, we propose BCT, a framework of blockwise compression for transformers without retraining, aiming to facilitate model deployment. Unlike layerwise compression methods, BCT achieves finer compression of the entire transformer by operating blockwise. This method mitigates data distribution deviation caused by quantization, eliminating the requirement for retraining. BCT effectively compresses all components of the model, including but not limited to the embedding, matrix multiplication, GELU, Softmax, layer normalization, and intermediate results. In a case study, an efficient model is compressed by BCT achieving up to 7.988x compression. Subsequently, we also evaluate it on several General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE) datasets. Experimental results on the majority of GLUE benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, as BCT achieves less than a 0.9% degradation in accuracy compared to the more than a 1% degradation seen with other methods providing similar or inferior compression ratios.

Abstract
The accurate and effective identification of hydrogen sulfide holds great significance for environmental monitoring. Azide-binding fluorescent probes are powerful tools for hydrogen sulfide detection. We combined the 2'-Hydroxychalcone scaffold with azide moiety to construct probe Chal-N3, the electron-withdrawing azide moiety was utilized to block the ESIPT process of 2'-Hydroxychalcone and quenches the fluorescence. The fluorescent probe was triggered with the addition of hydrogen sulfide, accompanied by great fluorescence intensity enhancement with a large Stokes shift. With excellent fluorescence properties including high sensitivity, specificity selectivity, and wider pH range tolerance, the probe was successfully applied to natural water samples.

Abstract
By directly altering microscopic interactions, pressure provides a powerful tuning knob for the exploration of condensed phases and geophysical phenomena1. The megabar regime represents an interesting frontier, in which recent discoveries include high-temperature superconductors, as well as structural and valence phase transitions2-6. However, at such high pressures, many conventional measurement techniques fail. Here we demonstrate the ability to perform local magnetometry inside a diamond anvil cell with sub-micron spatial resolution at megabar pressures. Our approach uses a shallow layer of nitrogen-vacancy colour centres implanted directly within the anvil7-9; crucially, we choose a crystal cut compatible with the intrinsic symmetries of the nitrogen-vacancy centre to enable functionality at megabar pressures. We apply our technique to characterize a recently discovered hydride superconductor, CeH9 (ref. 10). By performing simultaneous magnetometry and electrical transport measurements, we observe the dual signatures of superconductivity: diamagnetism characteristic of the Meissner effect and a sharp drop of the resistance to near zero. By locally mapping both the diamagnetic response and flux trapping, we directly image the geometry of superconducting regions, showing marked inhomogeneities at the micron scale. Our work brings quantum sensing to the megabar frontier and enables the closed-loop optimization of superhydride materials synthesis.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the feasibility of a radiomics nomogram model for predicting malignant transformation in sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) based on radiomic signature and clinical risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This single institutional retrospective review included a total of 143 patients with IP and 75 patients with IP with malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma (IP-SCC). All patients underwent surgical pathology and had preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) sinus studies between June 2014 and February 2022. Radiomics features were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (CE-T1WI), T2-weighted images (T2WI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were performed to select the features extracted from the sequences mentioned above. Independent clinical risk factors were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Radiomics nomogram was constructed by incorporating independent clinical risk factors and radiomics signature. Based on discrimination and calibration, the diagnostic performance of the nomogram was evaluated. RESULTS Twelve radiomics features were selected to develop the radiomics model with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.987 and 0.989, respectively. Epistaxis (p=0.011), T2 equal signal (p=0.003), extranasal invasion (p<0.001), and loss of convoluted cerebriform pattern (p=0.002) were identified as independent clinical predictors. The radiomics nomogram model showed excellent calibration and discrimination (AUC: 0.993, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.985-1.00 and 0.990, 95% CI: 0.974-1.00) in the training and validation sets, respectively. CONCLUSION The nomogram that the combined radiomics signature and clinical risk factors showed a satisfactory ability to predict IP-SCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare intraoperative bleeding during liver transplant procedures and analyze the predictive role of preoperative laboratory indicators in significant intraoperative bleeding. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 271 cases of allogeneic liver transplant patients from January 2018 to June 2023. Patients were categorized into the massive bleeding (MB) group and the non-massive bleeding (non-MB) group based on the occurrence of significant intraoperative bleeding. Preoperative laboratory parameters between the MB and non-MB groups were compared, and univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed. ROC curves were performed to analyze the value of these parameters in distinguishing the MB and non-MB groups. RESULTS In the MB group, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), fibrinogen (Fib), and total protein (TP) levels were significantly lower than those in the non-MB group (p < 0.05). Conversely, prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), total bilirubin (TBIL), creatinine (CRE), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, length of stay, and hospital stay were significantly higher in the MB group compared to the non-MB group (p < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that preoperative BMI and Hb were independent risk factors for massive bleeding during liver transplantation. ROC curve analysis for predicting massive intraoperative bleeding showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of Hb was considerable (AUC: 0.83). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative BMI and Hb levels are critical predictors of massive bleeding during liver transplantation, emphasizing the importance of proactive management based on these indicators for improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the independent impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Chinese adolescents, and to explore the potential moderating role of PCEs in the association between ACEs and HRQOL. STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS We surveyed 6982 students aged 11-20 in Guangzhou, China, from November to December 2021. Adolescents self-reported their ACEs, PCEs, and HRQOL by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, the Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire, the Benevolent Childhood Experiences Scale, and the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0, respectively. Multivariable linear regressions were performed to examine the associations between ACEs, PCEs, and HRQOL controlled for adolescents' age, gender, single-child status, boarding school attendance, primary caregivers, as well as parental age and occupational status. Likelihood-ratio tests were further applied to explore the moderating role of PCEs. RESULTS In the models that considered both ACEs and PCEs, ACEs were significantly associated with lower HRQOL scores in all dimensions, summary scales, and total scale (β = -13.88, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -14.82, -12.94 for total scale). Conversely, exposure to an above-average number of PCEs was associated with higher HRQOL scores in all measured aspects (β = 7.20, 95%CI: 6.57, 7.84 for total scale). PCEs significantly moderated the association between ACEs and all HRQOL dimensions, summary scales, and total scale, except school functioning. CONCLUSION ACEs and PCEs exert independent and opposite impacts on adolescents' HRQOL. PCEs could mitigate the negative impacts of ACEs. Enhancing resilience, like PCEs, may contribute to improving the HRQOL among adolescents who have exposed to ACEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated body mass index (BMI) has been recognized as an important contributor to corticosteroid insensitivity in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We aimed to delineate the effects of elevated BMI on immunological endotype and recurrence in CRSwNP individuals. METHODOLOGY A total of 325 patients with CRSwNP undergoing FESS were recruited and stratified by BMI. H&E staining was employed for histological evaluation. Characteristics of inflammatory patterns were identified by immunohistochemical staining. The predictive factors for recurrence were determined and evaluated by multivariable logistic regression analysis and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves across all subjects and by weight group. RESULTS In all patients with CRSwNP, 26.15% subjects were classified as overweight/obese group across BMI categories and exhibited a higher symptom burden. The upregulated eosinophil/neutrophil-dominant cellular endotype and amplified type 2/ type 3 coexisting inflammation was present in overweight/obese compared to underweight/normal weight controls. Additionally, a higher recurrent proportion was shown in overweight/obese patients than that in underweight/normal weight cohorts. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified BMI as an independent predictor for recurrence. The predictive capacity of each conventional parameter (tissue eosinophil and CLCs count, and blood eosinophil percentage) alone or in combination was poor in overweight/obese subjects. CONCLUSIONS Overweight/obese CRSwNP stands for a unique phenotype and endotype. Conventional parameters predicting recurrence are compromised in overweight/obese CRSwNP, and there is an urgent need for novel biomarkers that predict recurrence for these patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent age-related disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and systemic bone microarchitectural disorders. With age, senescent cells accumulate and exhibit the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in bone tissue, leading to the imbalance of bone homeostasis, osteopenia, changes in trabecular bone structure, and increased bone fragility. Cellular senescence in the bone microenvironment involves osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), whose effects on bone homeostasis are regulated by epigenetics. Therefore, the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of cellular senescence have received considerable attention as potential targets for preventing and treating osteoporosis. In this paper, we systematically review the mechanisms of aging-associated epigenetic regulation in osteoporosis, emphasizing the impact of epigenetics on cellular senescence, and summarize three current methods of targeting cellular senescence, which is helpful better to understand the pathogenic mechanisms of cellular senescence in osteoporosis and provides strategies for the development of epigenetic drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the incidence trend and epidemiological characteristics of typhoid fever in Fujian Province from 2011 to 2022, and understand the high-incidence population and hotspot areas, and provide evidences to develop more targeted prevention and control measures. Methods: The surveillance data of typhoid fever during 2011-2022 in Fujian Province were obtained from the National Disease Reporting Information System and analyzed with SAS 9.4. The spatial autocorrelation analysis of typhoid fever incidence at county/district levels was performed with ArcGlS 10.8. Results: A total of 5 126 cases of typhoid fever were reported in Fujian Province from 2011 to 2022, with an average annual incidence rate of 1.10/100 000. The average annual incidence rate was 0.96/100 000 from 2011 to 2015, 1.49/100 000 from 2016 to 2019, and 0.81/100 000 from 2020 to 2022. The disease occurred all the year round, with high epidemic season from May to September. A total of 23.59% (1 209/5 126) of the cases occurred at the age of 0-4, and 9.62% (493/5 126) at the age of 5-9. The male to female ratio of the cases was 0.97∶1 (2 524∶2 602) for the whole population, 1.19∶1 (925∶777) for people under 10 years old, 0.75∶1 (1 060∶1 404) for people between 10 and 54 years old, and 1.28∶1 (539∶421) for people over 55 years old. Cases in Ningde City accounted for 30.65% (1 571/5 126) of the total cases. Most hotspots were occurred in Ningde City. Recurrent and clustered cases were found in family members. Conclusions: Typhoid fever was prevalent at a low level in Fujian Province during 2011-2022, indicating that strengthening the prevention and control measures should target key areas and populations. The incidence of typhoid fever in Fujian Province showed spatial aggregation phenomenon, and most cases gathered in Ningde City. Intensive study for the influencing factors of spatial clustering should be conducted.

Abstract
Echinococcosis poses a significant threat to public health. The Chinese government has implemented prevention and control measures to mitigate the impact of the disease. By analyzing data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the State Council of the People's Republic of China, we found that implementation of these measures has reduced the infection rate by nearly 50% between 2004 to 2022 (from 0.3975 to 0.1944 per 100,000 person-years). Nonetheless, some regions still bear a significant disease burden, and lack of detailed information limites further evaluation of the effects on both alveolar and cystic echinococcosis. Our analysis supports the continuing implementation of these measures and suggests that enhanced wildlife management, case-based strategies, and surveillance systems will facilitate disease control.

Abstract
The development of artificial photosynthesis systems that mimics natural photosynthesis can help address the issue of energy scarcity by efficiently utilizing solar energy. Here, it presents liposomes-based artificial photosynthetic nanocapsules (PSNC) integrating photocatalytic, chemical catalytic, and biocatalytic systems through one-pot method. The PSNC contains 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl) cobalt-porphyrin, tridipyridyl-ruthenium nitrate, oligo-pphenyl-ethylene-rhodium complex, and creatine kinase, efficiently generating oxygen, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and adenosine triphosphate with remarkable enhancements of 231%, 30%, and 86%, compared with that of molecules mixing in aqueous solution. Additionally, the versatile PSNC enables simulation of light-independent reactions, achieving a controllable output of various target products. The regenerated NADH within PSNC further facilitates alcohol dehydrogenase, yielding methanol with a notable efficiency improvement of 37%. This work introduces a promising platform for sustainable solar energy conversion and the simultaneous synthesis of multiple valuable products in an ingenious and straightforward way.

Abstract
Toll, immune deficiency and prophenoloxidase cascade represent vital immune signaling pathways in insects. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are innate immune receptors that activate and regulate the immune signaling pathways. Previously, we reported that BmPGPR-L4 was induced in the silkworm Bombyx mori larvae by bacteria and peptidoglycan challenges. Here, we focused on the function of BmPGRP-L4 in regulating the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The hemolymph from BmPGRP-L4-silenced larvae exhibited an enhanced inhibitory effect on the growth of Escherichia coli, either by growth curve or inhibitory zone experiments. Coincidentally, most of the AMP genes were upregulated after RNAi of BmPGRP-L4. Oral administration of heat-inactivated E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus after RNAi of BmPGRP-L4 resulted in the increased expression of BmPGRP-L4 in different tissues of the silkworm larvae, revealing an auto-regulatory mechanism. By contrast, the expression of most AMP genes was downregulated by oral bacterial administration after RNAi of BmPGRP-L4. The above results demonstrate that BmPGRP-L4 recognizes bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns and negatively regulates AMP expression to achieve immunological homeostasis. As a negative regulator, BmPGPR-L4 is proposed to be involved in the feedback regulation of the immune signaling pathways of the silkworm to prevent excessive activation of the immune response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessing the 3-dimensional (3D) relationship between critical anatomical structures and the surgical channel can help select percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) approaches, especially at the L5/S1 level. However, previous evaluation methods for PELD were mainly assessed using 2-dimensional (2D) medical images, making the understanding of the 3D relationship of lumbosacral structures difficult. Artificial intelligence based on automated magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation has the benefit of 3D reconstruction of medical images. OBJECTIVES We developed and validated an artificial intelligence-based MR image segmentation method for constructing a 3D model of lumbosacral structures for selecting the appropriate approach of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy at the L5/S1 level. STUDY DESIGN Three-dimensional reconstruction study using artificial intelligence based on MR image segmentation. SETTING Spine and radiology center of a university hospital. METHODS Fifty MR data samples were used to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm for automatic segmentation. Manual segmentation and labeling of vertebrae bone (L5 and S1 vertebrae bone), disc, lumbosacral nerve, iliac bone, and skin at the L5/S1 level by 3 experts were used as ground truth. Five-fold cross-validation was performed, and quantitative segmentation metrics were used to evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence based on the MR image segmentation method. The comparison analysis of quantitative measurements between the artificial intelligence-derived 3D (AI-3D) models and the ground truth-derived 3D (GT-3D) models was used to validate the feasibility of 3D lumbosacral structures reconstruction and preoperative assessment of PELD approaches. RESULTS Artificial intelligence-based automated MR image segmentation achieved high mean Dice Scores of 0.921, 0.924, 0.885, 0.808, 0.886, and 0.816 for L5 vertebrae bone, S1 vertebrae bone, disc, lumbosacral nerves, iliac bone, and skin, respectively. There were no significant differences between AI-3D and GT-3D models in quantitative measurements. Comparative analysis of quantitative measures showed a high correlation and consistency. LIMITATIONS Our method did not involve vessel segmentation in automated MR image segmentation. Our study's sample size was small, and the findings need to be validated in a prospective study with a large sample size. CONCLUSION We developed an artificial intelligence-based automated MR image segmentation method, which effectively segmented lumbosacral structures (e.g., L5 vertebrae bone, S1 vertebrae bone, disc, lumbosacral nerve, iliac bone, and skin) simultaneously on MR images, and could be used to construct a 3D model of lumbosacral structures for choosing an appropriate approach of PELD at the L5/S1 level.

Abstract
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) has traditionally been used as a cooking spice and herbal medicine for treating nausea and vomiting. More recently, ginger was found to effectively reduce the risk of diseases such as gastroenteritis, migraine, gonarthritis, etc., due to its various bioactive compounds. 6-Shogaol, the pungent phenolic substance in ginger, is the most pharmacologically active among such compounds. The aim of the present study was to review the pharmacological characteristic of 6-shogaol, including the properties of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumour, and its corresponding molecular mechanism. With its multiple mechanisms, 6-shogaol is considered a beneficial natural compound, and therefore, this review will shed some light on the therapeutic role of 6-shogaol and provide a theoretical basis for the development and clinical application of 6-shogaol.

Abstract
Solar-driven biosynthesis and bioconversion are essential for achieving sustainable resources and renewable energy. These processes harness solar energy to produce biomass, chemicals, and fuels. While they offer promising avenues, some challenges and limitations should be investigated and addressed for their improvement and widespread adoption. These include the low utilization of light energy, the inadequate selectivity of products, and the limited utilization of inorganic carbon/nitrogen sources. Organic semiconducting polymers offer a promising solution to these challenges by collaborating with natural microorganisms and developing artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems. In this Perspective, we highlight the latest advancements in the use of appropriate organic semiconducting polymers to construct artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems. We focus on how these systems can enhance the natural photosynthetic efficiency of photosynthetic organisms, create artificial photosynthesis capability of nonphotosynthetic organisms, and customize the value-added chemicals of photosynthetic synthesis. By examining the structure-activity relationships and emphasizing the mechanism of electron transfer based on organic semiconducting polymers in artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems, we aim to shed light on the potential of this novel strategy for artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems. Notably, these coupling strategies between organic semiconducting polymers and organisms during artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems will pave the way for a more sustainable future with solar fuels and chemicals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are accumulating type 2 diabetes patients who have osteoporosis simultaneously. More effective therapeutic strategies should be discovered. Biochanin A (BCA) has been indicated that can play a role in improving metabolic disorders of type 2 diabetes and preventing osteoporosis. But whether BCA can treat type 2 diabetic osteoporosis has not been studied. PURPOSE To investigate if the BCA can protect against type 2 diabetic osteoporosis and clarify the mechanism. METHODS Micro-CT and histology assays were performed to detect the trabecular bone and analyze the bone histomorphology effect of BCA. CCK-8 assay was performed to detect the toxicity of BCA. TRAcP staining, immunofluorescence and hydroxyapatite resorption assay were used to observe osteoclasts differentiation and resorptive activity. Molecular docking provided evidence about BCA regulating the MAPK axis via prediction by the algorithm. QRT-PCR and Western Blotting were utilized to detect the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related markers and MAPK signaling pathway. RESULTS Accumulation of bone volume after BCA treatment could be found based on the 3D reconstruction. Besides, there were fewer osteoclasts in db/db mice treated with BCA than db/db mice treated with saline. In vitro, we found that BCA hadn't toxicity in osteoclasts precursor, but also inhibited differentiation of osteoclasts. Further, we found that BCA suppresses osteoclastogenesis via ROS/MAPK signaling pathway. CONCLUSION BCA can prevent type 2 diabetic osteoporosis by restricting osteoclast differentiation via ROS/MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
High-precision searches for an electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) require stable and uniform magnetic field environments. We present the recent achievements of degaussing and equilibrating the magnetically shielded room (MSR) for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. We present the final degaussing configuration that will be used for n2EDM after numerous studies. The optimized procedure results in a residual magnetic field that has been reduced by a factor of two. The ultra-low field is achieved with the full magnetic-field-coil system, and a large vacuum vessel installed, both in the MSR. In the inner volume of ∼ 1.4 m 3 , the field is now more uniform and below 300 pT. In addition, the procedure is faster and dissipates less heat into the magnetic environment, which in turn, reduces its thermal relaxation time from 12 h down to 1.5 h .

Abstract
BACKGROUND The existence of anxiety and depression is not conducive to the rehabilitation of patients, so it is particularly important to apply reasonable and effective nursing methods in operating room to calm the negative emotions of patients. This study aimed to investigate the impact of operating room care utilizing the Wutong mode on the anxiety and depression levels of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Methods: The study included 167 patients who underwent abdominal surgery at our hospital from April 2021 to April 2023. These individuals were selected as the research subjects. Based on distinct perioperative management programs, the patients were categorized into the control group (comprising 85 patients receiving conventional perioperative management) and the study group (consisting of 82 patients undergoing operating room care based on the Wutong mode). Comprehensive baseline data, as well as scores from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), General Self-Efficacy Scale-6 (GSE-6), and Short-Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36), were collected from all participants. A comparative analysis was performed on sleep status, depression levels, anxiety levels, self-efficacy, and quality of life between the two groups. Results: Following the intervention, the PSQI scores, as well as BDI and SAS scores of patients in both groups, were significantly reduced compared to pre-intervention levels (p < 0.001). Notably, the study group exhibited markedly lower PSQI scores, BDI scores, and SAS scores compared to the control group post-intervention (p < 0.001). Additionally, the GSE-6 scores of patients in both groups showed a substantial increase after the intervention compared to pre-intervention levels (p < 0.001). The study group demonstrated significantly higher GSE-6 scores and SF-36 scores than the control group after the intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Wutong mode-based operating room care has a pronounced impact on patients undergoing abdominal surgery, demonstrating clear clinical application value. This finding offers valuable insights for the development and selection of perioperative nursing plans for patients, providing a significant reference point for healthcare practitioners.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The understanding of the heterogeneous cellular microenvironment of colonic polyps in paediatric patients with solitary juvenile polyps (SJPs), polyposis syndrome (PJS) and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) remains limited. METHODS We conducted single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplexed immunohistochemistry (mIHC) analyses on both normal colonic tissue and different types of colonic polyps obtained from paediatric patients. RESULTS We identified both shared and disease-specific cell subsets and expression patterns that played important roles in shaping the unique cellular microenvironments observed in each polyp subtype. As such, increased myeloid, endothelial and epithelial cells were the most prominent features of SJP, JPS and PJS polyps, respectively. Noticeably, memory B cells were increased, and a cluster of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like colonocytes existed across all polyp subtypes. Abundant neutrophil infiltration was observed in SJP polyps, while CX3CR1hi CD8+ T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) were predominant in SJP and JPS polyps, while GZMAhi natural killer T cells were predominant in PJS polyps. Compared with normal colonic tissues, myeloid cells exhibited specific induction of genes involved in chemotaxis and interferon-related pathways in SJP polyps, whereas fibroblasts in JPS polyps had upregulation of myofiber-associated genes and epithelial cells in PJS polyps exhibited induction of a series of nutrient absorption-related genes. In addition, the TNF-α response was uniformly upregulated in most cell subsets across all polyp subtypes, while endothelial cells and fibroblasts separately showed upregulated cell adhesion and EMT signalling in SJP and JPS polyps. Cell-cell interaction network analysis showed markedly enhanced intercellular communication, such as TNF, VEGF, CXCL and collagen signalling networks, among most cell subsets in polyps, especially SJP and JPS polyps. CONCLUSION These findings strengthen our understanding of the heterogeneous cellular microenvironment of polyp subtypes and identify potential therapeutic approaches to reduce the recurrence of polyps in children.

Abstract
The reversal of halide ions is studied under various conditions. However, the underlying mechanism of heat-induced reversal remains unclear. This work finds that dynamic disorder-induced localization of self-trapped polarons and thermal disorder-induced strain (TDIS) can be co-acting drivers of reverse segregation. Localization of polarons results in an order of magnitude decrease in excess carrier density (polaron population), causing a reduced impact of the light-induced strain (LIS - responsible for segregation) on the perovskite framework. Meanwhile, exposing the lattice to TDIS exceeding the LIS can eliminate the photoexcitation-induced strain gradient, as thermal fluctuations of the lattice can mask the LIS strain. Under continuous 0.1 W cm⁻2 illumination (upon segregation), the strain disorder is estimated to be 0.14%, while at 80 °C under dark conditions, the strain is 0.23%. However, in situ heating of the segregated film to 80 °C under continuous illumination (upon reversal) increases the total strain disorder to 0.25%, where TDIS is likely to have a dominant contribution. Therefore, the contribution of entropy to the system's free energy is likely to dominate, respectively. Various temperature-dependent in situ measurements and simulations further support the results. These findings highlight the importance of strain homogenization for designing stable perovskites under real-world operating conditions.

Abstract
The study aimed to reveal for the first time the clinical characteristics, nutritional and metabolic status and support of hospitalized patients with common variant immunodeficiency disease (CVID), and provide reference to improve the long-term nutritional management for such patients. This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Through searching the electronic medical record system of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the study included 33 consecutive in-patients with CVID diagnosed in Jan 2016 to Jun 2021, with the male to female ratio of 16∶17. All their medical data, nutritional assessment and intervention retrospectively summarized and analyzed. Data with normal distribution were described using (x¯±s), and analyzed with independent sample t-test. Data with non-normal distribution were compared with non-parametric test. The results showed that the median onset-age of the included patients was 22 (10.0,36.5) years old, and the median duration was 9.0 (2.0,16.0) years. All patients had recurrent infections involving various systems (33/33), with development of autoimmune diseases (8/33) and lymphoproliferative disease or malignancy (9/33) in some cases among them. The nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scores revealed that 85.19% of adults had an NRS 2002≥3 points, and 33.33% of children had a BMI-for-age z score<-2. Weight loss occurred in 66.67% of patients (22/33), while 87.88% (29/33), 69.70% (23/33) and 81.82% (27/33) of patients respectively had anemia, hypoalbuminemia and decreased prealbumin. Among 22 patients with micronutrients status evaluated, 77.27% (17/22), 22.73% (5/22) and 31.82% (7/22) of patients respectively had lowered serum iron, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 insufficiency. Six patients underwent 25-OH-VD3 measurement, and were all testified to have vitamin D deficiency. Among all patients with nutritional risk, 56.00% of them underwent nutritional support: oral nutritional supplements (14 cases), enteral feeding (4 cases) and parenteral nutrition (5 cases). In conclusion, the condition of malnutrition was prevalent in patients with CVID, but was under-recognized and undertreated to some degree.

Abstract
sn2 Palmitate in human milk plays an important role in the physiological health of infants by reducing mineral loss, improving stool hardness, and relieving constipation. Also, sn-2 palmitate modulates intestinal microbiota. However, it remains unclear whether the effects of sn-2 palmitate on infant gut microbiota are dose-dependent. In this study, we investigated the effects of low, medium, and high doses (600, 1,800, and 5,400 mg/kg body weight, respectively) of sn-2 palmitate on the structure, composition, and metabolic function of intestinal microbes in mice. Our results showed that high doses of sn-2 palmitate significantly modulated α- and β-diversity of the intestinal microbiota. The relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group decreased with increasing doses of sn-2 palmitate. In contrast, the abundances of Bacteroidetes phylum, Bacteroides, uncultured_Lachnospiraceae, and uncultured_Muribaculaceae were positively correlated with sn-2 palmitate doses. The number of genes predicted encoding autophagy-yeast, phospholipase D signaling pathway, and pentose and glucuronate interconversion metabolic functions of intestinal microbiota increased with increasing doses of sn-2 palmitate. In addition, low and medium doses of sn-2 palmitate significantly upregulated the arginine and proline metabolic pathways, and high doses of sn-2 palmitate significantly increased purine metabolism. Our results revealed that the effects of sn-2 palmitate intake early in life on the composition and metabolism of the intestinal microbiota of mice showed dose-related differences. The study is expected to provide a scientific basis for the development of infant formulas.

Abstract
Optimal dietary non-phytate phosphorus (NPP) is essential in poultry to maximise productive and reproductive performance, along with indices of egg and bone quality. This study aimed to establish the NPP requirements of egg-type duck breeders aged from 54 to 80 weeks on the following traits: egg production, egg incubation, egg quality, tibial characteristics, reproductive organ, plasma indices, and the expression of genes related to phosphorus absorption. Longyan duck breeders aged 54 weeks (n = 300) were randomly allotted to five treatments, each containing six replicates of 10 individually caged birds. Birds were fed corn-soybean meal-based diets containing 0.18, 0.25, 0.32, 0.38, and 0.45% NPP/kg for 27 weeks. The tested dietary NPP levels did not affect egg production or egg quality indices. The hatchling weight of ducklings increased (quadratic, P < 0.01) as dietary NPP level increased, and the highest value occurred with 0.25% NPP. The number of large yellow follicles (LYF), and the relative weights of LYF and ovary showed linear and quadratic responses to dietary NPP levels; the lowest number and relative weight of LYF occurred with 0.38% NPP, and the lowest ovarian weight was obtained with 0.25% NPP. There were no differences in tibial length, breaking strength, and mineral density in response to dietary NPP levels. In contrast, tibial content of Ca increased (linear, P < 0.01) with dietary NPP levels increasing from 0.18 to 0.45%, and the tibial content of P increased at 0.32% NPP and the higher dietary NPP levels. Plasma concentration of P showed a quadratic (P < 0.05) response to the dietary NPP levels, where the highest value was seen at 0.38% NPP. In conclusion, dietary NPP levels from 0.18 to 0.45% had no effects on egg production, and egg and tibial quality of duck breeders. The duck breeders fed a diet with 0.25% NPP showed the highest hatchling weight of their offspring, while those fed 0.38% NPP had the lowest number and relative weight of LYF. These results indicated that the diet with 0.25% NPP can be used in egg-type duck breeders to improve the hatchling weight of their offspring, without adverse effects on their productivity. The regression model indicated that the maximal hatchling weight of ducklings was obtained from duck breeders fed the diet with 0.30% NPP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the sequences of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1) genes of Paragonimus metacercariae in freshwater crabs in Henan Province, identify the species of Paragonimus and evaluate its genetic relationships with Paragonimus isolates from other provinces in China. METHODS Freshwater crabs were collected from 8 survey sites in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Pingdingshan, Nanyang and Jiyuan cities of Henan Province from 2016 to 2021, and Paragonimus metacercariae were detected in freshwater crabs. Genomic DNA was extracted from Paragonimus metacercariae, and the ITS2 and COX1 genes were amplified using PCR assay, followed by sequencing of PCR amplification products. The gene sequences were spliced and aligned using the software DNASTAR, and aligned with the sequences of Paragonimus genes in the GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were created using the MEGA6 software with the Neighbor-Joining method based on ITS2 and COX1 gene sequences, with Fasciola hepatica as the outgroup. RESULTS The detection rates of Paragonimus metacercariae were 6.83% (11/161), 50.82% (31/61), 18.52% (5/26), 8.76% (12/137), 14.29% (9/63), 17.76% (19/105), 18.50% (32/173) and 42.71% (41/96) in freshwater crabs from 8 survey sites in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Pingdingshan, Nanyang and Jiyuan cities of Henan Province, with a mean detection rate of 19.46% (160/822), and a mean infection intensity of 0.57 metacercariae/g. The amplified ITS2 and COX1 gene fragments of Paragonimus were approximately 500 bp and 450 bp in lengths, respectively. The ITS2 gene sequences of Paragonimus metacercariae from 8 survey sites of Henan Province showed the highest homology (99.8% to 100.0%) with the gene sequence of P. skrjabini (GenBank accession number: MW960209.1), and phylogenetic analysis showed that the Paragonimus in this study was clustered into the same clade with P. skrjabini from Sichuan Province (GenBank accession number: AY618747.1), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GenBank accession number: AY618729.1) and Hubei Province (GenBank accession number: AY618751.1), and P. miyazaki from Fujian Province (GenBank accession number: AY618741.1) and Japan (GenBank accession number: AB713405.1). The COX1 gene sequences of Paragonimus metacercariae from 8 survey sites of Henan Province showed the highest homology (90.0% to 100.0%) with the gene sequence of P. skrjabini (GenBank accession number: AY618798.1), and phylogenetic analysis showed that the Paragonimus in this study was clustered into the same clade with all P. skrjabini and clustered into the same sub-clade with P. skrjabini from Hubei Province (GenBank accession numbers: AY618782.1 and AY618764.1). CONCLUSIONS Paragonimus species from freshwater crabs in Henan Province were all characterized as P. skrjabini, and the ITS2 and COX1 gene sequences had the highest homology to those of P. skrjabini from Hubei Province. The results provide insights into study of Paragonimus in Henan Province and China.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection therapy holds great promise in improving knee cartilage repair. This bibliometric analysis aimed to explore the research landscape in the application of PRP for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) over the last 15 years. All articles investigating PRP in the application of KOA were retrieved from the web of science core collection. Publications were analyzed using R software, VOS Viewer, CiteSpace, Microsoft Excel, and an online bibliometric platform (https://bibliometric.com/). A total of 815 articles were identified, 6 articles from 2010 had the highest average number of citations in the local database. Filardo G., Kon E., Cole B.J., Marcacci M., and Di Martino A. are the top 5 authors based on the H-index. The "American Journal Of Sports Medicine" is the most authoritative journal in the field of PRP application in KOA. The United States is the global leader in this field, with European countries playing a pivotal role in collaborative exchanges. Taipei Medical University is the most prolific institution and Shahid Beheshti University Medical Sciences in Iran the fastest-rising institution. The keywords "Hyaluronic Acid," "cartilage," "growth factors," "mesenchymal stem cells," "intra-articular injection," "pain," "inflammation," "double-blind," "management," "placebo," "stromal cells," "rheumatoid arthritis," and "pathology" appeared most frequently. "Exercise," "volume," and "physical-activity" are the latest hot topics. Future trends in this field include the standardization of injection components, injection sites, and injection methods, the modulation of useful or harmful growth factor receptor expression, sports management, and the validation of contraindications to PRP.

Abstract
We present a novel Active Magnetic Shield (AMS), designed and implemented for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The experiment will perform a high-sensitivity search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron. Magnetic-field stability and control is of key importance for n2EDM. A large, cubic, 5 m side length, magnetically shielded room (MSR) provides a passive, quasi-static shielding-factor of about 10 5 for its inner sensitive volume. The AMS consists of a system of eight complex, feedback-controlled compensation coils constructed on an irregular grid spanned on a volume of less than 1000 m3 around the MSR. The AMS is designed to provide a stable and uniform magnetic-field environment around the MSR, while being reasonably compact. The system can compensate static and variable magnetic fields up to ± 50 μ T (homogeneous components) and ± 5 μ T/m (first-order gradients), suppressing them to a few μ T in the sub-Hertz frequency range. The presented design concept and implementation of the AMS fulfills the requirements of the n2EDM experiment and can be useful for other applications, where magnetically silent environments are important and spatial constraints inhibit simpler geometrical solutions.

Abstract
Objective: To study the regulatory effect of miR-200a on mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) and its impact on the biological behavior of hepatoma carcinoma cells. Method: A luciferase reporter assay was used to determine miR-200a's regulatory impact on MET. Human hepatoma HepG2 cells were divided into a control group, a miR-200a group, a MET overexpression group, and a co-transfection group (miR-200a+MET). After culture, cell proliferation ability, cell migration ability, apoptosis, cell invasion ability, and the expression of MET and apoptosis-related (Bcl-2, Caspase-3, Bax) proteins were detected and observed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), scratch assay, Annexin V-FITC staining, transwell chambers, and western blotting. The two groups were compared using the independent sample t-test. The multiple groups were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results: The luciferase experiment showed that miR-200a had target MET. The proliferation rate, number of invasions in cells (55.00 ± 7.21, 85.00 ± 7.94, 164.67 ± 19.22, 104.00± 12.29), scratch healing rate (28.33% ± 5.03%, 61.67% ± 4.04%, 74.67% ± 7.02%, 49.33% ± 9.02%), and expression levels of MET, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 proteins were lower in the miR-200a group than those in the control group, MET overexpression group, and co-transfection group, while the MET overexpression group had higher indexes than the other three groups, with statistically significant differences between the groups (P <0.05). The apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells and the expression level of Bax protein were higher in the miR-200a group than those in the control group, MET overexpression group, and co-transfection group (19.25% ± 2.98%, 6.80% ± 1.15%, 3.42% ±0.76%, 9.90% ± 2.72%), while the levels of various indexes in the MIF overexpression group were lower than those in the other three groups. The control group and co-transfection group were between the two groups, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion: HepG2 cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell apoptosis induction can be inhibited by miR-200a, and the functional mechanism for this may be associated with the miR-200a target's ability to down-regulate MET expression in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the predictive effect of the renal tumor scoring system on the surgical outcomes of cystic renal masses (CRM). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 234 patients who received robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2018 to June 2020. And 31 cases had CRM and 203 cases had solid renal masses (SRM). The propensity score of patients was calculated by logistic regression model, and 1∶2 matching was performed by the nearest neighbor method. The changes in perioperative indexes and long-term estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in CRM group and SRM group were compared. The CRM group and SRM group were stratified according to the complexity grading of R.E.N.A.L. score and PADUA score, respectively, to compare the difference in the achievement rate of ideal surgical outcome between the two groups, and analyze the predictive factors affected. The CRM diameter was stratified with 4 cm as the cut-off value (CRM1 group with a diameter<4 cm, CRM2 group with a diameter≥4 cm), and the surgical results were compared with the matched SRM1 group and SRM2 group. Results: In the matching cohort, the CRM group comprised 29 patients with a mean age of (48.7±10.8) years, of which 22 (75.9%) were males. The SRM group included 58 patients with a mean age of (50.4±10.2) years, of which 41 (70.7%) were males, with no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05). The warm ischemia time (WIT) [M (Q1,Q3)] in the CRM group was longer than that in the SRM group [23(18, 25) vs 19(17, 25) min, P=0.040]. The operation time (OT) [M (Q1,Q3)] in the CRM group was also longer than that of the SRM group [130(100, 150) vs 108(86, 120) min, P=0.006]. The change in serum creatinine before and after the operation [M (Q1,Q3)] was higher in the CRM group than in the SRM group [15(10, 23) vs 12(6, 17) μmol/L, P=0.030]. The ideal surgical outcomes were achieved in 7 patients (24.1%) in the CRM group and 36 patients (62.1%) in the SRM group. The number of patients achieving ideal surgical outcomes in R.E.N.A.L. intermediate complex surgery and PADUA advanced complex surgery in the SRM group were 24 (58.5%) and 15 (51.7%), respectively, which were higher than those in the CRM group 6 (27.3%) and 1 (5.9%) respectively (P<0.05). Preoperative eGFR (OR=0.758, 95%CI: 0.719-0.799) and the nature of the tumor (CRM as reference, OR=4.883, 95%CI: 1.550-15.378) were influencing factors for achieving the ideal surgical outcome. Subgroup analysis showed that eGFR changes before and after surgery and the estimated blood loss (EBL) in the CRM2 group were higher than those in the SRM2 group, and WIT and OT were longer than those in the SRM2 group (all P<0.05). The EBL and WIT of the CRM1 group were shorter than those of the CRM2 group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The surgical risk of RAPN in complex CRMs with a maximum diameter of≥4 cm is higher than the risk of RAPN in SRM with equivalent R.E.N.A.L. and PADUA scores.

Abstract
Sustainable energy conversion and effective biosynthesis for value-added chemicals have attracted considerable attention, but most biosynthesis systems cannot work independently without external power. In this work, a self-powered biohybrid system based on organic materials is designed and constructed successfully by integrating electroactive microorganisms with electrochemical devices. Among them, the hybrid living materials based on S. oneidensis/poly[3-(3'-N,N,N-triethylamino-1'-propyloxy)-4-methyl-2,5-thiophene chloride] (PMNT) biofilms for microbial fuel cells played a crucial role in electrocatalytic biocurrent generation by using biowaste as the only energy source. Without any external power supplies, the self-powered biohybrid systems could generate, convert, and store electrical energy for effective photosynthetic regulation and sustained chemical production. This work provides a new strategy to combine comprehensive renewable energy production with chemical manufacturing without an external power source in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various prediction models of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission have been externally verified internationally. However, long-term validated results after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery are lacking. The best model for the Chinese population is also unknown. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prediction effect of various prediction models on the long-term diabetes remission after RYGB in the Chinese population and to provide reference for clinical use. SETTING A retrospective clinical study at a university hospital. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed Chinese population data 5 years after RYGB and externally validated 11 predictive models to evaluate the predictive effect of each model on long-term T2D remission after RYGB. RESULTS We enrolled 84 patients. The mean body mass index was 41 kg/m2, and the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was 72.3%. The mean glycated hemoglobin level was 8.4% preoperatively and decreased to 5.9% after 5 years. The 5-year postoperative complete and partial remission rates of T2D were 31% and 70.2%, respectively. The ABCD scoring model (sensitivity, 84%; specificity, 76%; area under the curve [AUC], .866) and the Panuzi et al. [34] study (sensitivity, 84%; specificity, 81%; AUC, .842) showed excellent results. In the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, calibration values for ABCD and Panuzi et al. [34] were .14 and .21, respectively. The predicted-to-observed ratios of ABCD and Panuzi et al. [34] were .83 and .88, respectively. CONCLUSIONS T2D was relieved to varying degrees 5 years after RYGB in patients with obesity. The prediction models in ABCD and the Panuzi et al. [34] studies showed the best prediction effects. ABCD was recommended for clinical use because of excellent predictive performance, good statistical test results, and simple and practical design features.

Abstract
In light of the depletion of conventional energy sources, it is imperative to conduct research and development on sustainable alternative energy sources. Currently, electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries rely heavily on precious metal catalysts like Pt/C and IrO2, which hinders their sustainable commercial development. Therefore, researchers have devoted significant attention to non-precious metal-based catalysts that exhibit high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Among them, perovskite oxides possess low-cost and abundant reserves, as well as flexible oxidation valence states and a multi-defect surface. Due to their advantageous structural characteristics and easily adjustable physicochemical properties, extensive research has been conducted on perovskite-based oxides. However, these materials also exhibit drawbacks such as poor intrinsic activity, limited specific surface area, and relatively low apparent catalytic activity compared to precious metal catalysts. To address these limitations, current research is focused on enhancing the physicochemical properties of perovskite-based oxides. The catalytic activity and stability of perovskite-based oxides in Oxygen Reduction Reaction/Oxygen Evolution Reaction (ORR/OER) can be enhanced using crystallographic structure tuning, cationic regulation, anionic regulation, and nano-processing. Furthermore, extensive research has been conducted on the composite processing of perovskite oxides with other materials, which has demonstrated enhanced catalytic performance. Based on these different ORR/OER modification strategies, the future challenges of perovskite-based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts are discussed alongside their development prospects.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed of patients with RRMM who received an infusion of anti-BCMA CAR-T-cells and anti-BCMA combined with anti-CD19 CAR-T-cells at our center between June 1, 2019, and February 28, 2023. Clinical data were collected to observe the characteristics of changes in liver indexes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), and direct bilirubin (DBIL) in patients, and its relationship with cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) . Results: Ninety-two patients were included in the analysis, including 41 patients (44.6%) in the group receiving a single infusion of anti-BCMA CAR-T-cells, and 51 patients (55.4%) in the group receiving an infusion of anti-BCMA combined with anti-CD19 CAR-T-cells. After infusing CAR-T-cells, 31 patients (33.7%) experienced changes in liver indexes at or above grade 2, which included 20 patients (21.7%) with changes in one index, five patients (5.4%) with changes in two indexes, and six patients (6.5%) with changes in three or more indexes. The median time of peak values of ALT and AST were d17 and d14, respectively, and the median duration of exceeding grade 2 was 5.0 and 3.5 days, respectively. The median time of peak values of TBIL and DBIL was on d19 and d21, respectively, and the median duration of exceeding grade 2 was 4.0 days, respectively. The median time of onset of CRS was d8, and the peak time of fever was d9. The ALT, AST, and TBIL of patients with CRS were higher than those of patients without CRS (P=0.011, 0.002, and 0.015, respectively). CRS is an independent factor that affects ALT and TBIL levels (OR=19.668, 95% CI 18.959-20.173, P=0.001). The evolution of liver indexes can be reversed through anti-CRS and liver-protection treatments, and no patient died of liver injury. Conclusions: In BCMA-based CAR-T-cell therapy for RRMM, CRS is an important factor causing the evolution of liver indexes. The evolution of liver indexes after CAR-T-cell infusion is transient and reversible after treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the protective effect of recombinant Schistosoma japonicum cystatin (rSj-Cys) against acute kidney injury induced by acute liver failure and unravel the underlying mechanism, so as to provide insights into the clinical therapy of acute kidney injury. METHODS Twenty-four male C57BL/6J mice at ages of 6 to 8 weeks were randomly divided into the normal control group, rSj-Cys control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GaIN) model group and LPS/D-GaIN + rSj-Cys treatment group, of 6 mice each group. Mice in the LPS/D-GaIN group and LPS/D-GaIN + rSj-Cys group were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (10 μg/kg) and D-GaIN (700 mg/kg), and mice in the LPS/D-GaIN + rSj-Cys group were additionally administered with rSj-Cys (1.25 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection 30 min post-modeling, while mice in the rSj-Cys group were intraperitoneally injected with rSj-Cys (1.25 mg/kg), and mice in the normal control group were injected with the normal volume of PBS. All mice were sacrificed 6 h post-modeling, and mouse serum and kidney samples were collected. Serum creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured, and the pathological changes of mouse kidney specimens were examined using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of inflammatory factors and pyroptosis-related proteins was quantified in mouse kidney specimens using immunohistochemistry. In addition, the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway-associated proteins was determined in mouse kidney specimens using Western blotting assay. RESULTS HE staining showed no remarkable abnormality in the mouse kidney structure in the normal control group and the rSj-Cys control group, and renal tubular injury was found in LPS/D-GaIN group, while the renal tubular injury was alleviated in LPS/D-GaIN+rSj-Cys treatment group. There were significant differences in serum levels of Cr (F = 46.33, P < 0.001), BUN (F = 128.60, P < 0.001), TNF-α (F = 102.00, P < 0.001) and IL-6 (F = 202.10, P < 0.001) among the four groups, and lower serum Cr [(85.35 ± 32.05) μmol/L], BUN [(11.90 ± 2.76) mmol/L], TNF-α [(158.27 ± 15.83) pg/mL] and IL-6 levels [(56.72 ± 4.37) pg/mL] were detected in the in LPS/D-GaIN + rSj-Cys group than in the LPS/D-GaIN group (all P values < 0.01). Immunohistochemical staining detected significant differences in TNF-α (F = 24.16, P < 0.001) and IL-10 (F = 15.07, P < 0.01) expression among the four groups, and lower TNF-α [(106.50 ± 16.57)%] and higher IL-10 expression [(91.83 ± 5.23)%] was detected in the LPS/D-GaIN + rSj-Cys group than in the LPS/D-GaIN group (both P values < 0.01). Western blotting and immunohistochemistry detected significant differences in the protein expression of pyroptosis-related proteins NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) (F = 24.57 and 30.72, both P values < 0.001), IL-1β (F = 19.24 and 22.59, both P values < 0.001) and IL-18 (F = 16.60 and 19.30, both P values < 0.001) in kidney samples among the four groups, and lower NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18 expression was quantified in the LPS/D-GaIN + rSj-Cys treatment group than in the LPS/D-GaIN group (P values < 0.05). In addition, there were significant differences in the protein expression of NF-κB signaling pathway-associated proteins p-NF-κB p-P65/NF-κB p65 (F = 71.88, P < 0.001), Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 (F = 45.49, P < 0.001) and p-IκB/IκB (F = 60.87, P < 0.001) in mouse kidney samples among the four groups, and lower expression of three NF-κB signaling pathway-associated proteins was determined in the LPS/D-GaIN + rSj-Cys treatment group than in the LPS/D-GaIN group (all P values < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS rSj-Cys may present a protective effect against acute kidney injury caused by acute liver failure through inhibiting inflammation and pyroptosis and downregulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The aim of this study was to determine whether adaptive radiotherapy guided by functional imaging with flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) can improve local tumor control in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). MATERIALS/METHODS This was a phase II randomized study comparing the efficacy and safety between PET-guided adaptive radiotherapy and conventional radiotherapy. The primary end point was 2-year local-regional tumor control (LRTC) rate. Secondary end points included local-regional progression-free survival (LR-PFS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and radiation-related toxicities. RESULTS Between November 2012 and June 2017, 72 patients were 1:1 randomized to adaptive and conventional arms. The 2- and 5-year LRTC rates were 63.2% and 58.0% versus 43.0% and 37.6% (P = 0.035) in the adaptive and conventional arms, respectively. The median LR-PFS (14.3 versus 12.0 months; P = 0.010) and PFS (12.8 versus 8.9 months; P = 0.034) were significantly longer in the adaptive arm than in the conventional arm. The median OS was 36.3 months in the adaptive arm and 28.8 months in the conventional arm (P = 0.266). The esophageal volume of receiving ≥60 Gy (V60) in the adaptive arm was lower than that in the conventional arm (P = 0.011), while the V30 for the heart in the adaptive arm was lower than that in the conventional arm (P = 0.077). Other radiological metrological parameters of tumor, organs at risk, and the incidence of ≥grade 2 radiation-related toxicities were not significantly different between the 2 arms. CONCLUSION Compared with conventional radiotherapy, PET-guided adaptive radiotherapy significantly improved the 2-year LRTC rate, LR-PFS, and PFS without increased risks of radiation-related toxicities in patients with LA-NSCLC.

Abstract
Brain-machine Interface (BMI) with implantable bioelectronics systems can provide an alternative way to cure neural diseases, while a power management system plays an important role in providing a stable voltage supply for the implanted chip. a prototype system of power management integrated circuit (PMIC) with heavy load capability supplying artifacts tolerable neural recording integrated circuit (ATNR-IC) is presented in this work. A reverse nested miller compensation (RNMC) low dropout regulator (LDO) with a transient enhancer is proposed for the PMIC. The power consumption is 0.55 mW and 22.5 mW at standby (SB) and full stimulation (ST) load, respectively. For a full load transition, the overshoot and downshoot of the LDO are 110 mV and 71 mV, respectively, which help improve the load transient response during neural stimulation. With the load current peak-to-peak range is about 560 μA supplied by a 4-channel stimulator, the whole PMIC can output a stable 3.3 V supply voltage, which indicates that this PMIC can be extended for more stimulating channels' scenarios. When the ATNR-IC is supplied for presented PMIC through a voltage divider network, it can amplify the signal consisting of 1 mVpp simulated neural signal and 20 mVpp simulated artifact by 28 dB with no saturation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The phase III STELLAR (NCT02533271) trial demonstrated that four cycles of chemotherapy after short-course radiotherapy (SCRT-TNT) were not inferior to the standard care of long-course concurrent radiotherapy (LCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of SCRT-TNT versus LCRT in locally advanced rectal cancer in China on the basis of the STELLAR trial. MATERIALS/METHODS A Markov model was used to synthesize the healthcare costs and benefits of LARC patients based on results from the STELLAR trial. The model assumes that LARC who meet the inclusion criteria of the STELLAR trial experience four possible states: No Evidence of Disease (NED), locally recurrence, distant metastases, or any death from rectal cancer or other unrelated causes, where local recurrence continues to be classified as resectable and unresectable. The transition status period is 3 month, and 5 years is used to calculate direct medical costs and health benefits. The probabilities of states transition after SCRT-TNT or LCRT were derived from the results of the STELLAR trial and previous published article (Table.1). Costs were evaluated from the Chinese payer's perspective reported in early 2022 US dollars (US$1 = 6.78 Chinese Yuan). Sensitivity analyses were performed for key variables. Cost-effectiveness was evaluated using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and net monetary benefits. Effectiveness was defined as quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). Willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was set at $43500/QALY. Data were collected from October 3, 2020, to September 20, 2021, and analyzed from November 15, 2020, to October 25, 2021. RESULTS During the 5-year horizon, for the base case scenario, SCRT-TNT incurred a lower total cost and higher QALYs compared with LCCRT. The total cost was $65767 and QALYs were 1.77 for SCRT-TNT; for LCCRT, the total cost was $72802 and QALYs were 1.64. This resulted in an ICER of -$ 55470.69 per QALY. Therefore, SCRT-TNT was a cost-saving and dominating treatment strategy compared with LCRT. Sensitivity analysis showed that ICERs were most sensitive to the parameters of distant metastases risk after treatment. CONCLUSION SCRT-TNT in locally advanced rectal cancer can be a cost-effective alternative to LCRT in China, and should be considered in appropriately selected patients.

Abstract
Background Epilepsy is a relatively common childhood neurological disease. Children with epilepsy need to take precautions to minimize seizure damage in order to adapt to seizures and manage them. Aim The current study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effects of a comprehensive nursing program for children with epilepsy to reduce children's symptoms of epilepsy. Subject and Methods Participants were children suffering from epilepsy between 2019 and 2021 at Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital. Seventy children were included in a randomized controlled trial with a comprehensive nursing group (CNG) and an active control group (ACG). Measurements were assessed pre- and post-intervention and at a one- and three-month follow-ups. Children in the CNG learned and practiced the strategies related to the comprehensive nursing intervention. The outcomes were anxiety and depression. Results The results showed that anxiety and depression scores were significantly lower in the CNG than the ACG at 1 and 3 months after intervention (P < 0.05). According to the feasibility results, whereas most participants believed that the program was informative and meaningful, a minority reported that it was time-consuming. Conclusion The intervention has the potential to support children with epilepsy. The program is easily accessible, cost-effective and could be implemented in epilepsy care rehabilitation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Disruptionsin cancer care adversely affect clinical outcomes, particularly when a patient does not complete the prescribed course of treatment. The impact of treatment termination (TT) during radiation therapy has not been well studied. This study addresses TT in a large multi-center department of radiation oncology over a 10-year time period. MATERIALS/METHODS TTs of patients undergoing radiation treatment between January 2013 and December 2022 were prospectively tracked as part of departmentalquality and safety monitoring. A TT was defined as the discontinuation of therapy at any point following consent and simulation. Causes of TTs were categorized as: hospice/death, physician choice related to toxicity, physician choice unrelated to toxicity, patient choice related to toxicity, patient choice unrelated to toxicity, progression of disease, non-cancer illness, or other. The rate of TT was calculated as a percentage of all new patients who start radiation treatments. As part of our ongoing department quality and safety program, incremental changes were made to pre-treatment evaluation and scheduling processes, collectively referred to as the "No-Fly" policy. TT rates during three iterations of this policy were compared. RESULTS Outof 28,707 planned treatment courses, a total of 1,467 TTs were identified (5.1%). 688 (46.9%) involved patients treated with curative intent, 770 (52.5%) with palliative intent, and 9 (0.6%) for benign disease. The rate of TT decreased from 9.3% in 2013 to 3.3% in 2022. Relative to evolutions of our No-Fly policy, the overall TT rate decreased from 8.8% under No-Fly 1 (2013-2014), to 5.2% during No-Fly 2 (2015-2018), and 4.0% with No-Fly 3 (2019-2022) (ANOVA, p<0.001). The most common sites for TT were H&N (19.3%), CNS (17.9%), and Bone Metastases (17.9%). The most common cause of TT was hospice and/or death (36.5%), 69.1% of which were in patients receiving palliative treatments. Other common causes included patient choice unrelated to toxicity (35%), physician choice unrelated to toxicity (8.8%), and progression of disease (7.6%). There were 473 TTs without radiation dose given (1.6% of planned treatments, 32.3% of TTs). CONCLUSION Radiation TTs reflect major deviations from the original care plan. This large cohort study highlights the value of open departmental discourse about TTs, which prompted quality improvement changes that reduced TTs over time. Future studies addressing clinical outcomes can direct treatment decision-making and improve care for our patients.

Abstract
This article proposes a neural stimulation integrated circuit design with multiple current output modes. In the cathodic stimulation phase and anodic stimulation phase, each output current waveform can be independently selected to either exponential waveform or square wave, so the stimulator holds four stimulation modes. To minimize the headroom voltage of the output stage and enhance the power efficiency of the proposed stimulator, we introduce the exponentially decaying current which is realized by the exponential current generation circuit in this work. It can enhance the longer duration of the stimulation pulse as well. In case the residual charge may cause harm to patients, a charge balancing technique is implemented in this work for all operation modes. The four-channel stimulator IC is implemented in a 180-nm CMOS process, occupying a core area of 1.93 mm2. The measurement results show that the proposed stimulator realized a maximum power efficiency of 91.3% and the maximum stimulation duration is 3 times larger than previous works. Moreover, even in exponential output waveform mode, the maximum residual charge in a single cycle is only 255 pC due to the proposed charge balancing technique. The experiment results based on the PBS solution also show that the stimulator IC can remove residual charges within 60 μs, and the electrode voltage remains stable within a safe range under multicycle stimulation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Inpatients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R NHL) treated with CD19-directed CAR-T, only ∼40% achieve complete response (CR) by day 30 PET/CT evaluation. Of those who do not, the large majority (∼70%) ultimately fail, providing an ideal target for early therapeutic intervention to 're-prime' CAR-T. Preclinical and early clinical studies suggest potential synergy and immune augmentation when combining RT with CAR-T. Here we report the phase I results of a prospective phase I/II clinical trial hypothesizing that early salvage focal RT to poor responding sites of disease after CAR-T in R/R NHL patients is safe (phase I) and will improve conversion to CR by day 90 post-CAR-T PET/CT from 29% (historical control) to 58% (phase II). MATERIALS/METHODS Weopened a single-arm open-label phase I/II prospective clinical trial at our institution for R/R NHL patients treated with CD19-directed CAR-T with incomplete response on day 30 post-CAR-T PET/CT scan (defined as Lugano > = 4). The phase I component used a 'Rolling 6' design with 6 patients enrolled concurrently at the "definitive" dose level (40-50 Gy EQD2 [i.e., 30 Gy in 5 fractions], with de-escalation to "palliative" dose level (20-32.5 Gy EQD2 [i.e., 20 Gy in 5 fractions]) if >2 dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) observed. Hypofractionated regimens (i.e., 5 fractions) directed only to residual FDG-avid disease were recommended to minimize lymphopenia and potentially result in a more favorable immune microenvironment. DLT rate was defined within 60 days of RT by CTCAE v5.0 grade 4+ hematologic, grade 3+ dermatitis/burn, pneumonitis, enteritis, or other toxicity attributable to RT, as well as new grade 3+ cytokine release syndrome (CRS) per ASTCT consensus guidelines or grade 3+ neurotoxicity per ASTCT ICANS consensus guidelines for adults. RESULTS BetweenApril 2021 and July 2022, 6 patients were enrolled. All 6 patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with 3/6 (50%) transformed from low-grade follicular lymphoma. 2/6 had primary refractory DLBL, while the other 4/6 had median 2.5 lines of treatment prior to CAR-T. No patient had prior RT to a site of residual FDG-avid disease on day 30 post-CAR-T PET/CT. 5/6 patients were treated to 30 Gy in 5 fractions, with the remainder patient treated to 36 Gy in 10 fractions. No grade 3+ DLTs related to RT were observed in the 60-day post-RT period. RT related toxicities included grad 1 alopecia, grade 1 radiation pneumonitis, grade 1 nausea & vomiting, and grade 2 skin infection. CONCLUSION Early salvage focal "definitive" dose RT to sites of incomplete response on day 30 post-CAR-T PET/CT for R/R/ NHL patients was safe with no de-escalation of dose needed. This dose will used in the subsequent phase II component of the trial.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the shielding efficiency of a novel X-ray protection device (NPD) compared with the traditional lead clothing (TLC) during coronary intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed prospectively in two centres. A total of 200 coronary interventions were included and assigned equally into the NPD or TLC group. The NPD is a floor-standing X-ray protection device, which mainly composes of a barrel-like frame and two layers of lead rubber. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were adopted to detect the cumulative absorbed doses, and were attached outside the NPD or TLC or body of the first operator at four different height levels in four directions during the procedure. RESULTS The cumulative doses outside the NPD were comparable to that of the TLC (2,398.33 ± 2,341.64 versus 1,624.09 ± 1,732.20 μSv, p=0.366), and the cumulative doses inside the NPD were significantly lower than those inside the TLC (40 ± 0 versus 732.28 ± 919.83 μSv, p<0.001). As the TLC did not cover the calf segment of the operator, the area at 50 cm height from the floor in the TLC group was unshielded. The shielding efficiency of NPD was significantly higher than that of the TLC (98.2 ± 0.63% versus 52.11 ± 38.97%, p=0.021). CONCLUSION The NPD has a significantly higher shielding efficacy than that of the TLC, in particular, it protects the operators' lower limb, liberates their lower body from wearing heavy lead apron, and may consequently reduce the radiation or body-load associated complications.
