Abstract
BACKGROUND Selecting the time target for follow-up testing in lung cancer screening is challenging. We aim to devise dynamic, personalized lung cancer screening schema for patients with pulmonary nodules detected through low-dose computed tomography. METHODS We developed and validated dynamic models using data of pulmonary nodule patients (aged 55-74 years) from the National Lung Screening Trial. We predicted patient-specific risk profiles at baseline (R0) and updated the risk evaluation results in repeated screening rounds (R1 and R2). We used risk cutoffs to optimize time-dependent sensitivity at an early decision point (3 months) and time-dependent specificity at a late decision point (1 year). RESULTS In validation, area under receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting 12-month lung cancer onset was 0.867 (95 % confidence interval: 0.827-0.894) and 0.807 (0.765-0.948) at R0 and R1-R2, respectively. The personalized schema, compared with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline and Lung-RADS, yielded lower rates of delayed diagnosis (1.7% vs. 1.7% vs. 6.9 %) and over-testing (4.9% vs. 5.6% vs. 5.6 %) at R0, and lower rates of delayed diagnosis (0.0% vs. 18.2% vs. 18.2 %) and over-testing (2.6% vs. 8.3% vs. 7.3 %) at R2. Earlier test recommendation among cancer patients was more frequent using the personalized schema (vs. NCCN: 29.8% vs. 20.9 %, p = 0.0065; vs. Lung-RADS: 33.2% vs. 22.8 %, p = 0.0025), especially for women, patients aged ≥65 years, and part-solid or non-solid nodules. CONCLUSIONS The personalized schema is easy-to-implement and more accurate compared with rule-based protocols. The results highlight value of personalized approaches in realizing efficient nodule management.

Abstract
AIM Rev-erbα has been reported to regulate the healing of inflammatory lesions through its effect on the immune system in a variety of inflammatory disease. Moreover, the balance of macrophages polarization plays a crucial role in immune response and inflammatory progression. However, in refractory periapical periodontitis (RAP), the role of Rev-erbα in inflammatory response and bone resorption by regulating macrophage polarization remains unclarified. The aims of the present study were to investigate the expression of Rev-erbα in experimental RAP and to explore the relationship between Rev-erbα and macrophage polarization through the application of its pharmacological agonist SR9009 into the in vivo and in vitro experiments. METHODOLOGY Enterococcus faecalis-induced RAP models were established in SD rats. Histological staining and micro-computed tomography scanning were used to evaluate osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone resorption. The expression of Rev-erbα and macrophage polarization were detected in the periapical tissues from rats by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and western blots. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed to explore the relationship between Rev-erbα and inflammatory cytokines related to macrophage polarization. RESULT Compared to healthy periapical tissue, the expression of Rev-erbα was significantly down-regulated in macrophages from inflammatory periapical area, especially in Enterococcus faecalis-induced periapical lesions, with obvious type-1 macrophage (M1)-like dominance and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, Rev-erbα activation by SR9009 could induce type-2 macrophage (M2)-like polarization in periapical tissue and THP1 cell line, followed by increased secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β. Furthermore, intracanal application of SR9009 reduced the lesion size and promoted the repair of RAP by decreasing the number of osteoclasts and enhancing the formation of mineralized tissue in periapical inflammatory lesions. CONCLUSIONS Rev-erbα played an essential role in the pathogenesis of RAP through its effect on macrophage polarization. Targeting Rev-erbα might be a promising and prospective therapy method for the prevention and management of RAP.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence of postoperative complications in Chinese patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, and to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative complications. Methods: This was a national, multicenter, prospective, registry-based, cohort study of data obtained from the database of the Prevalence of Abdominal Complications After Gastro- enterological Surgery (PACAGE) study sponsored by the China Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgical Union. The PACAGE database prospectively collected general demographic characteristics, protocols for perioperative treatment, and variables associated with postoperative complications in patients treated for gastric or colorectal cancer in 20 medical centers from December 2018 to December 2020. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of postoperative complications. Postoperative complications were categorized and graded in accordance with the expert consensus on postoperative complications in gastrointestinal oncology surgery and Clavien-Dindo grading criteria. The incidence of postoperative complications of different grades are presented as bar charts. Independent risk factors for occurrence of postoperative complications were identified by multifactorial unconditional logistic regression. Results: The study cohort comprised 3926 patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, 657 (16.7%) of whom had a total of 876 postoperative complications. Serious complications (Grade III and above) occurred in 4.0% of patients (156/3926). The rate of Grade V complications was 0.2% (7/3926). The cohort included 2271 patients with gastric cancer with a postoperative complication rate of 18.1% (412/2271) and serious complication rate of 4.7% (106/2271); and 1655 with colorectal cancer, with a postoperative complication rate of 14.8% (245/1655) and serious complication rate of 3.0% (50/1655). The incidences of anastomotic leakage in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer were 3.3% (74/2271) and 3.4% (56/1655), respectively. Abdominal infection was the most frequently occurring complication, accounting for 28.7% (164/572) and 39.5% (120/304) of postoperative complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer, respectively. The most frequently occurring grade of postoperative complication was Grade II, accounting for 65.4% (374/572) and 56.6% (172/304) of complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancers, respectively. Multifactorial analysis identified (1) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the gastric cancer group: preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.54, 95%CI: 1.51-4.28, P<0.001), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.42, 95%CI:1.06-1.89, P=0.020), high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores (ASA score 2 points:OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.23-2.07, P<0.001, ASA score ≥3 points:OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.25-0.73, P=0.002), operative time >180 minutes (OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.42-2.31, P<0.001), intraoperative bleeding >50 mL (OR=1.29,95%CI: 1.01-1.63, P=0.038), and distal gastrectomy compared with total gastrectomy (OR=0.65,95%CI: 0.51-0.83, P<0.001); and (2) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the colorectal cancer group: female (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.44-0.80, P<0.001), preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.73, 95%CI: 1.25-5.99, P=0.030), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.23-2.72, P=0.008), laparoscopic surgery (OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.30-0.72, P=0.022), and abdominoperineal resection compared with low anterior resection (OR=2.74, 95%CI: 1.71-4.41, P<0.001). Conclusion: Postoperative complications associated with various types of infection were the most frequent complications in patients with gastric or colorectal cancer. Although the risk factors for postoperative complications differed between patients with gastric cancer and those with colorectal cancer, the presence of preoperative comorbidities, administration of neoadjuvant therapy, and extent of surgical resection, were the commonest factors associated with postoperative complications in patients of both categories.

Abstract
Light is an essential ecological factor that has been demonstrated to affect aquatic animals' behavior, growth performance, and energy metabolism. Our previous study found that the full-spectrum light and cyan light could promote growth performance and molting frequency of Scylla paramamosain while it was suppressed by violet light. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism that influences light spectral composition on the growth performance and molting of S. paramamosain. RNA-seq analysis and qPCR were employed to assess the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of eyestalks from S. paramamosain reared under full-spectrum light (FL), violet light (VL), and cyan light (CL) conditions after 8 weeks trial. The results showed that there are 5024 DEGs in FL vs. VL, 3398 DEGs in FL vs. CL, and 3559 DEGs in VL vs. CL observed. GO analysis showed that the DEGs enriched in the molecular function category involved in chitin binding, structural molecular activity, and structural constituent of cuticle. In addition, the DEGs in FL vs. VL were mainly enriched in the ribosome, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, lysosome, apoptosis, and antigen processing and presentation pathways by KEGG pathway analysis. Similarly, ribosome, lysosome, and antigen processing and presentation pathways were major terms that enriched in FL vs. CL group. However, only the ribosome pathway was significantly enriched in up-regulated DEGs in VL vs. CL group. Furthermore, five genes were randomly selected from DEGs for qPCR analysis to validate the RNA-seq data, and the result showed that there was high consistency between the RNA-seq and qPCR. Taken together, violet light exposure may affect the growth performance of S. paramamosain by reducing the ability of immunity and protein biosynthesis, and chitin metabolism.

Abstract
Climate dictates wildfire activity around the world. But East and Southeast Asia are an apparent exception as fire-activity variation there is unrelated to climatic variables. In subtropical China, fire activity decreased by 80% between 2003 and 2020 amid increased fire risks globally. Here, we assessed the fire regime, vegetation structure, fuel flammability and their interactions across subtropical Hubei, China. We show that tree basal area (TBA) and fuel flammability explained 60% of fire-frequency variance. Fire frequency and fuel flammability, in turn, explained 90% of TBA variance. These results reveal a novel system of scrubland-forest stabilized by vegetation-fire feedbacks. Frequent fires promote the persistence of derelict scrubland through positive vegetation-fire feedbacks; in forest, vegetation-fire feedbacks are negative and suppress fire. Thus, we attribute the decrease in wildfire activity to reforestation programs that concurrently increase forest coverage and foster negative vegetation-fire feedbacks that suppress wildfire.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of the immune responses mediated by topological structures of three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds on hair follicle cycle in mice. Methods: The study was an experimental research. The alginate-gelatin composite hydrogels were printed into scaffolds using a three-dimensional bioprinter and named T45 scaffolds, T60 scaffolds, and T90 scaffolds according to the 3 topological structures of the scaffolds (the rotation angles of the printhead during printing were 45°, 60°, and 90°, respectively), and the morphology of the three scaffolds was observed after cross-linking by naked eyes. Nine 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were divided into T45 group, T60 group, and T90 group, according to the random number table, with three mice in each group, and the T45, T60, and T90 scaffolds were subcutaneously implanted on the back of mice, respectively. On post implantation day (PID) 7, the hair growth in the dorsal depilated area of mice was observed, the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expression levels of CD68, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds were observed by immunofluorescence staining. The samples of the above experiments were all 3. Results: The topological structures of the three scaffolds were all clear with high fidelity after cross-linking. On PID 7, the hair growth was obvious in the dorsal depilated area of mice in T45 group and T90 group, while hair growth was slow in the scaffold implantation area of mice in T60 group, which was significantly different from that of the unimplanted area. On PID 7, compared with (18±4) μm in T90 group, the thickness of both the fiber capsule around the scaffolds ((39±4) and (55±8) μm) of mice in T45 group and T60 group was significantly increased (P<0.05); the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was also significantly increased compared with that in T45 group (P<0.05). On PID 7, the expression level of CD68 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). The expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05), and the expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T45 group was significantly higher than that in T90 group (P<0.05). The expression level of TNF protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly lower than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). Conclusions: Three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds with different topological structures mediate different degrees of immune responses after being implanted in mice. A moderate immune response promotes hair growth in depilated area of mice, while an excessive immune response results inhibits the hair follicle entering into the anagen phase.

Abstract
DNA vaccines containing only antigenic components have limited efficacy and may fail to induce effective immune responses. Consequently, adjuvant molecules are often added to enhance immunogenicity. In this study, we generated a tumor vaccine using a plasmid encoding NMM (NY-ESO-1/MAGE-A3/MUC1) target antigens and immune-associated molecules. The products of the vaccine were analyzed in 293 T cells by western blotting, flow cytometry, and meso-scale discovery electrochemiluminescence. To assess the immunogenicity obtained, C57BL/6 mice were immunized using the DNA vaccine. The results revealed that following immunization, this DNA vaccine induced cellular immune responses in C57BL/6 mice, as evaluated by the release of IFN-γ, and we also detected increases in the percentages of nonspecific lymphocytes, as well as those of antigen-specific T cells. Furthermore, immunization with the pNMM vaccine was found to significantly inhibit tumor growth and prolonged the survival of mice with B16-NMM+-tumors. Our data revealed that pNMM DNA vaccines not only confer enhanced immunity against tumors but also provide a potentially novel approach for vaccine design. Moreover, our findings provide a basis for further studies on vaccine pharmacodynamics and pharmacology, and lay a solid foundation for clinical application.

Abstract
Introduction WRKY TFs (WRKY transcription factors) contribute to the synthesis of secondary metabolites in plants. Betalains are natural pigments that do not coexist with anthocyanins within the same plant. Amaranthus tricolor ('Suxian No.1') is an important leaf vegetable rich in betalains. However, the WRKY family members in amaranth and their roles in betalain synthesis and metabolism are still unclear. Methods To elucidate the molecular characteristics of the amaranth WRKY gene family and its role in betalain synthesis, WRKY gene family members were screened and identified using amaranth transcriptome data, and their physicochemical properties, conserved domains, phylogenetic relationships, and conserved motifs were analyzed using bioinformatics methods. Results In total, 72 WRKY family members were identified from the amaranth transcriptome. Three WRKY genes involved in betalain synthesis were screened in the phylogenetic analysis of WRKY TFs. RT-qPCR showed that the expression levels of these three genes in red amaranth 'Suxian No.1' were higher than those in green amaranth 'Suxian No.2' and also showed that the expression level of AtrWRKY42 gene short-spliced transcript AtrWRKY42-2 in Amaranth 'Suxian No.1' was higher than that of the complete sequence AtrWRKY42-1, so the short-spliced transcript AtrWRKY42-2 was mainly expressed in 'Suxian No.2' amaranth. Moreover, the total expression levels of AtrWRKY42-1 and AtrWRKY42-2 were down-regulated after GA3 treatment, so AtrWRKY42-2 was identified as a candidate gene. Therefore, the short splice variant AtrWRKY42-2 cDNA sequence, gDNA sequence, and promoter sequence of AtrWRKY42 were cloned, and the PRI 101-AN-AtrWRKY42-2-EGFP vector was constructed to evaluate subcellular localization, revealing that AtrWRKY42-2 is located in the nucleus. The overexpression vector pRI 101-AN-AtrWRKY42-2-EGFP and VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) vector pTRV2-AtrWRKY42-2 were transferred into leaves of 'Suxian No.1' by an Agrobacterium-mediated method. The results showed that AtrWRKY42-2 overexpression could promote the expression of AtrCYP76AD1 and increase betalain synthesis. A yeast one-hybrid assay demonstrated that AtrWRKY42-2 could bind to the AtrCYP76AD1 promoter to regulate betalain synthesis. Discussion This study lays a foundation for further exploring the function of AtrWRKY42-2 in betalain metabolism.

Abstract
OX40 is a costimulatory receptor that is expressed primarily on activated CD4+, CD8+, and regulatory T cells. The ligation of OX40 to its sole ligand OX40L potentiates T cell expansion, differentiation, and activation and also promotes dendritic cells to mature to enhance their cytokine production. Therefore, the use of agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies for cancer immunotherapy has gained great interest. However, most of the agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies in the clinic are OX40L-competitive and show limited efficacy. Here, we discovered that BGB-A445, a non-ligand-competitive agonistic anti-OX40 antibody currently under clinical investigation, induced optimal T cell activation without impairing dendritic cell function. In addition, BGB-A445 dose-dependently and significantly depleted regulatory T cells in vitro and in vivo via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. In the MC38 syngeneic model established in humanized OX40 knock-in mice, BGB-A445 demonstrated robust and dose-dependent antitumor efficacy, whereas the ligand-competitive anti-OX40 antibody showed antitumor efficacy characterized by a hook effect. Furthermore, BGB-A445 demonstrated a strong combination antitumor effect with an anti-PD-1 antibody. Taken together, our findings show that BGB-A445, which does not block OX40-OX40L interaction in contrast to clinical-stage anti-OX40 antibodies, shows superior immune-stimulating effects and antitumor efficacy and thus warrants further clinical investigation.

Abstract
Few biomarkers distinguish connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Latent transforming growth factor-β binding protein-2 (LTBP2), a secreted extracellular matrix protein, is involved in pulmonary fibrosis. However, the role of LTBP2 in differentially diagnosing CTD-ILD and IPF is unclear. In this study, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays quantified plasma LTBP2 concentrations in 200 individuals (35 healthy controls, 42 CTD patients without ILD, 89 CTD-ILD patients, and 34 IPF patients). CTD-ILD and IPF were further classified based on chest imaging pattern and pulmonary function test results. Plasma LTBP2 levels were significantly elevated in the IPF group compared with the CTD-ILD group. ROC analysis further suggested the possible value of LTBP2 in differentially diagnosing CTD-ILD and IPF. Additionally, CTD-ILD patients with progressive lung fibrosis had higher plasma LTBP2 concentrations than those who did not. Similarly, patients with IPF developing acute exacerbation showed higher plasma LTBP2 levels than those with stable IPF. This is the first study showing that LTBP2 was closely associated with the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern in rheumatoid arthritis-associated ILD (RA-ILD). Moreover, the optimal cutoff values of LTBP2 for distinguishing IPF from CTD-UIP/RA-UIP were 33.75 and 38.33 ng/mL with an AUC of 0.682 and 0.681, respectively. Our findings suggest that plasma LTBP2 levels may differentially diagnose CTD-ILD and IPF, and assess their fibrotic activity. Additionally, clinical LTBP2 evaluation may be a great aid to identifying the presence of the UIP pattern in RA-ILD and to discriminating IPF from CTD-UIP, particularly RA-UIP.

Abstract
Tidal flats have important ecological functions and offer great economic value. Using field sampling, numerical simulation, and high-throughput sequencing, the ecological state of typical tidal flats along the eastern coast of China was investigated. The findings demonstrated that the area may be separated into subregions with notable differences in the features of microbial communities due to the variations in water quality and total pollutant discharge of seagoing rivers. With a ratio of 62%, the development of the microbial community revealed that homogenous selection predominated. In general, the formation of microbial communities follows deterministic processes, especially those of environmental selection. The wetland microbial communities are impacted by pollutants discharged into the sea from the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River's nitrogen pollutants affected the wetland zone, and denitrification dominated. The study established ecological patterns between the river and the sea and we offer suggestions for managing watersheds and safeguarding the ecology of coastal tidal flats.

Through five cycles of selection, we developed 24 perennial wheatgrass lines, designated 19HSC-Q and 20HSC-Z, by crossing wheat-Th. intermedium partial amphiploids with Th. intermedium. The cold resistance, morphological performance, chromosome composition, and yield components of these perennial lines were investigated from 2019 to 2022. Six lines of 19HSC-Q had higher 1,000-kernel weight, grains per spike, and tiller number than Th. intermedium, as well as surviving -30°C in winter. Lines 19HSC-Q14, 19HSC-Q18, and 19HSC-Q20 had the best performances for grain number per spike and 1,000-kernel weight. The 20HSC-Z lines, 20HSC-Z1, 20HSC-Z2, and 20HSC-Z3, were able to survive in the cold winter in Harbin and had been grown for two years. Sequential multicolor GISH analysis revealed that the Jvs subgenome of Th. intermedium were divided into two karyotypes, three pairs of type-I Jvs chromosomes and four pairs of type-II Jvs chromosomes. Both Th. intermedium and the 24 advanced perennial wheatgrass lines had similar chromosome compositions, but the translocations among subgenome chromosomes were detected in some lines with prominent agronomic traits, such as 19HSC-Q11, 19HSC-Q14, 19HSC-Q18, 19HSC-Q20, and the three 20HSC-Z lines. The chromosome aberrations were distinguished into two types: the large fragment translocation with St-Jr, Jvs-St, Jr-IIJvs, and Jvs-Jr and the small fragment introgression of Jr-St, St-IJvs, and Jvs-Jr. These chromosomal variations can be used to further analyze the relationship between the subgenomes and phenotypes of Th. intermedium. The results of this study provide valuable materials for the next selection cycle of cold-resistant perennial wheatgrass.

Abstract
Prediction of municipal solid waste (MSW) generation plays an essential role in effective waste management. The main objectives of this study were to develop models for accurate prediction of MSW generation (MSWG) and analyze the influence of dominant variables on MSWG. To elevate the model's prediction accuracy, more than 50 municipal variables were considered original variables, which were selected from 12 categories. According to the screening results, the dominant variables are classified into four categories: urban greening, population size and residential density, regional economic development and resident income and expenditure. Among the seven machine learning methods, back propagation (BP) neural network has the best model evaluation effect. The R2 of the BP neural network model of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong provinces were 0.969, 0.941 and 0.971 respectively. The prediction accuracy of Shandong province (93.8%) was the best, followed by Jiangsu province (92.3%) and Zhejiang province (72.7%). The correlation between dominant variables and the MSWG was mined, suggesting that regional GDP and the total retail sales of consumer goods were the most important dominant variables affecting MSWG. Moreover, the MSWG might not absolutely associate with the population size and residential density. The method used in this study is a practical tool for policymakers on regional/local waste management and MSWG control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alopecia areata (AA) is a common immune-mediated non-scarring hair loss, with a worldwide incidence between 0.57% and 3.8%. The incidence and prevalence of AA in the Australian general population have not been previously reported. OBJECTIVE To describe the incidence and prevalence of AA in Australia using primary care data. A secondary objective was to identify common demographic characteristics, comorbidities and treatment patterns among Australians living with AA. METHODS We analysed electronic health record data captured from a national clinical practice management software over a 10-year index period between 2011 and 2020 calendar years, inclusive. The incidence of new-onset AA and the prevalence of active records with AA were estimated. Differences in incidence by sociodemographic groups, and patterns of treatment were also evaluated. RESULTS There were 976 incident AA records. The incidence of new-onset AA in the total study cohort was 0.278 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 0.26-0.295). By age, the incidence was highest in the 19- to 34-year-old age bracket (0.503 per 1000 person-years: 95% CI 0.453-0.554). AA incidence was lower among females than males (IRR 0.763, p < 0.001, 95% CI 0.673-0.865). Among active records, 520 were prevalent AA records. AA point prevalence at 31/12/2020 was 0.13% (1.26 per 1000 persons; 95% CI 1.15-1.37). CONCLUSION This is the first study to describe the epidemiology (incidence and point prevalence) and management of AA in the Australian primary health-care population through large-scale database analysis. Incidence and prevalence findings were consistent with earlier estimates from other regions.

Abstract
The areca palm, Areca catechu L., family Arecaceae is an important herbal medicine which has potential for the treatment of parasitic diseases, digestive function disorders and depression (Peng et al. 2015). Yellow leaf disease (YLD), caused by phytoplasma, is a destructive disease of Areca catechu. In 1981, the YLD was first discovered in Tunchang, Hainan, China. According to the investigation in 2020, the occurrence area of YLD was 32 102.38 hm2 in Hainan, China, resulting in 50%-60% yield loss. Previous researchers based on 16S rDNA gene PCR amplification analysis showed that YLD in Hainan was caused by 16SrI group phytoplasma (Che et al. 2010). In August, 2022, yellow leaf symptoms were observed on middle and lower leaves of Areca catechu. Forty symptomatic plants and three asymptomatic samples were collected in Wenchang, Hainan, China (19°33'9″N, 110°48'5″E). Forty-three samples (0.1g each) were used to extract total DNA (TIANGEN plant genomic DNA extraction kit). Phytoplasma universal primers named P1/P7 (Schneider et al. 1995) and R16F2n/R16R2 (Gundersen and Lee 1996) for 16Sr DNA and primers named fTuf1/rTuf1 and fTufu/rTufu (Schneider et al. 1997) for tuf genes were used for amplifying phytoplasma sequences from isolated DNA samples by nested PCR. No fragment was amplified in asymptomatic plants and four out of forty symptomatic samples could amplify target fragment. R16F2n/R16R2 amplicons (1 248 bp) and fTufu/rTufu amplicons (845 bp) from four symptomatic Areca catechu samples were sequenced in BGI (https://genomics.cn/). The 16Sr DNA GenBank accession numbers of four positive strains (named HNWC5, HNDZ1, HNDZ3 and HNDZ6) were OQ586072, OQ586085, OQ586086, OQ586087, respectively and the tuf GenBank accession numbers were OQ595209, OQ595210, OQ595211, OQ595212, respectively. Sequence alignment showed that the 16S rDNA and tuf sequence of HNDZ1, HNDZ3 and HNDZ6 were 100% consistent. 16S rDNA of HNWC5 was 99.96% consistent with HNDZ1 and tuf of HNWC5 was 98.31% consistent with HNDZ1. Interestingly, blast search based on 16S rDNA gene of HNWC5 showed 100% sequence identity with that of 16SrII group phytoplasma such as 'Eclipta prostrata' phytoplasma strain Ep1(MH144204.1), 'Aeschynomene americana' phytoplasma isolate AA1(MH231157.1) and 'Acacia confusa' witches'-broom phytoplasma isolate HK6(ON408364.1). Blast search based on tuf gene of HNWC5 showed 98.7% sequence identity with that of bamboo witches'-broom phytoplasma (FJ853160.1) and 91.02% sequence identity with that of 'podocarpus nagi' fasciation phytoplasma (KR633146) and 90.78% sequence identity with that of 'Musa acuminata' elephantiasis disease phytoplasma (MF983708). The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on 16Sr DNA gene by MEGA 7.0 employing neighbor-joining (NJ) method with 1000 bootstrap value (Kumar et al. 2016). The result indicated that the HNWC5, HNDZ1, HNDZ3 and HNDZ6 phytoplasma strains clustered a subclade in 16SrII group. The virtual RFLP analysis based on the 16Sr DNA gene sequence was performed by the online phytoplasma classification tool iPhyClassifier (Zhao et al. 2009) using restriction endonucleases of AluI, BamHI, BfaI, BstUI, DraI, EcoRI, HaeIII, HhaI, HinfI, HpaI, HpaII, KpnI, Sau3AI, MseI, RsaI, SspI and TaqI. The result indicated that HNWC5 was most similar to the reference pattern of peanut witches'-broom phytoplasma (16SrII-A subgroup, GenBank accession: L33765) and the pattern similarity coefficient of HNWC5 is 1.00. However, the HpaII restriction endonuclease pattern of HNDZ1, HNDZ3 and HNDZ6 was different from L33765 and the similarity coefficient was 0.97, which indicated this strain may represent a new subgroup within the 16SrII group. To our knowledge, this is the first report of 16SrII group related phytoplasma associated with YLD on Areca catechu in China. Our study contributes to understanding the polymorphism of phytoplasma causing YLD and provides an important reference for pathogen specific detection.

Abstract
Rubus cochinchinensis, an important traditional Chinese medicine in China is used to treat rheumatic arthralgia, bruises and lumbocrural pain (He et al.2005). In January 2022, yellow leaves of R. cochinchinensis were found in Tunchang City, Hainan Province, a tropical island in China. Chlorosis spread along the direction of vascular tissue while the leaf veins remain green (Fig. 1). In addition, the leaves were slightly shrunken and the growth vigor is poor (Fig. 1). By survey, we found the incidence of this disease was about 30%. Three etiolated samples and three healthy samples (0.1g each) were used to extract total DNA (TIANGEN plant genomic DNA extraction kit). Using nested PCR method, phytoplasma universal primers P1 / P7 (Schneider et al., 1995) and R16F2n / R16R2 (Lee et al. 1993) were used to amplified phytoplasma 16S rDNA gene. Primers rp F1 / R1 (Lee et al. 1998) and rp F2 / R2 (Martini et al. 2007) were used to amplified rp gene. 16S rDNA gene and rp gene fragments were amplified from three leaf etiolated samples, but not from healthy samples. The amplified fragments were cloned and sequenced, and the sequences were assembled by DNASTAR11. By sequence alignment, we found the obtained 16S rDNA and rp gene sequences of three leaf etiolated samples were same. The length of 16S rDNA fragment was 1237 bp (accession number: ON944105) and the length of rp gene fragment was 1212 bp (accession number: ON960069). The phytoplasma strain was named as 'R. cochinchinensis' yellows leaf phytoplasma (RcT), RcT-HN1 strain. The 16S rDNA gene sequence of RcT-HN1is 99.8% consistent with 16SrI-B subgroup members such as the 'Brassica napus' dwarf phytoplasma strain WH3 (MG599470.1), Chinaberry yellows phytoplasma strain LJM-1(KX683297.1) and Arecanut yellow leaf disease phytoplasma strain B165 (FJ694685.1). The rp gene sequence of RcT-HN1 is 100% consistent with rpI-B subgroup members such as the 'Salix tetradenia' witches'-broom phytoplasma strain YM-1 (KC117314.1) and Chinaberry witches'-broom phytoplasma strain Hainan (EU348781.1). The phylogenetic tree analysis, based on concatenated 16S rDNA-rp gene sequence of same group phytoplasma by MEGA 7.0 employing neighbor-joining (NJ) method with 1000 bootstrap value, were performed (Kumar et al., 2016). The results showed that RcT-HN1 phytoplasma strain formed a subclade in aster yellows group B subgroup (Fig. 2). The virtual RFLP analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene fragment of RcT-HN1 phytoplasma strain was performed by the interactive online phytoplasma classification tool iPhyClassifier (Zhao et al., 2009). The results showed that the phytoplasma strain was same as the reference pattern of the onion yellows phytoplasma of 16SrI-B (GenBank accession: AP006628), and the similarity coefficient was 1.00. This is the first report that 16SrI-B subgroup related phytoplasma infected R. cochinchinensis and caused yellows symptoms in China. The discovery of the disease is helpful to the study of the spread of phytoplasma-related diseases and protect R. cochinchinensis resources.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of RNA m6A demethylase ALKBH5 gene deficiency on cerebellar morphology and function in the aged mice, and to explore the role of ALKBH5 in cerebellar degeneration. Methods: Western blot was performed to detect the protein level of ALKBH5 in the cerebellum of wild-type mice of various ages. The expression of NeuN, Calbindin-D28K, MAP2, GFAP and other proteins in the cerebella of middle-aged (12-month-old) and aged (18-month-old) wild-type mice and ALKBH5-/- mice was examined using immunohistochemistry. The balance beam test and gait analysis were performed to test the balance ability and motor coordination of the mice. Results: With aging of the mice, the expression of ALKBH5 in the cerebellum increased gradually in an age-dependent manner. In the aged mice, but not middle-aged mice, the body weight, whole brain weight and cerebellum weight of ALKBH5-/- mice decreased by 15%, 10% and 21%, respectively (P<0.05). The expression of ALKBH5 in the Purkinje cells was much higher than that in other types of neural cells. Correspondingly, ALKBH5-deficiency caused 40% reduction in the number of Purkinje cells, as well as the length and density of neuronal dendrites in the aged mice (P<0.01). In addition, the time for the aged ALKBH5-/- mice to pass the balance beam was 70% longer than that of the wild type mice of the same age, with unstable gaits (P<0.01). Conclusions: Gene deficiency of RNA m6A demethylase ALKBH5 causes cerebellar atrophy, Purkinje neuron loss and damage in the aged mice. These changes eventually affect mice's motor coordination and balance ability. These results suggest that imbalanced RNA m6A methylation may lead to neurodegenerative lesions in the cerebellum of mice.

PATIENTS AND METHODS The phase Ia/b trials investigated the safety and tolerability and antitumor activities of suvemcitug for pretreated advanced solid tumors and in combination with FOLFIRI (leucovorin and fluorouracil plus irinotecan) in second-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer using a 3 + 3 dose-escalation design. Patients received escalating doses of suvemcitug (phase Ia: 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7.5 mg/kg; phase Ib: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg/kg plus FOLFIRI). The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability in both trials. RESULTS All patients in the phase Ia trial had at least one adverse event (AE). Dose-limiting toxicities included grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia (one patient), hypertension and proteinuria (one patient), and proteinuria (one patient). The maximum tolerated dose was 5 mg/kg. The most common grade 3 and above AEs were proteinuria (9/25, 36%) and hypertension (8/25, 32%). Forty-eight patients (85.7%) in phase Ib had grade 3 and above AEs, including neutropenia (25/56, 44.6%), reduced leucocyte count (12/56, 21.4%), proteinuria (10/56, 17.9%), and elevated blood pressure (9/56, 16.1%). Only 1 patient in the phase Ia trial showed partial response, [objective response rate 4.0%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.1% to 20.4%] whereas 18/53 patients in the phase Ib trial exhibited partial response (objective response rate 34.0%, 95% CI 21.5% to 48.3%). The median progression-free survival was 7.2 months (95% CI 5.1-8.7 months). CONCLUSIONS Suvemcitug has an acceptable toxicity profile and exhibits antitumor activities in pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors or metastatic colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is caused by genetic and epigenetic alterations, as well as abnormal lifestyle and dietary habits, including contaminated food intake. Benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P), derived from deep-fried meats, is regarded as the main dietary factor for tumorigenesis in epidemiological investigations. Although various studies have illustrated the adverse effects of B[a]P in malignancy through cell and animal models, the correlation between B[a]P exposure and clinical data remain to be explored. In the present study, we analyzed and identified novel B[a]P-associated circular RNA (circRNA) from microarray databases of liver tumor cells and HCC patient samples. Considering that circRNA regulates mRNA as a miRNA sponge, molecular circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions based on the stimulation of B[a]P exposure were predicted and established. Furthermore, up-regulated circ_0084615 in B[a]P-treated tumor cells was verified as a miRNA sponge via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays, and the repression between circ_0084615 and target miR-451a exhibited a contrasting effect on hepatocarcinogenesis. Therefore, we performed integrated bioinformatics analysis and molecular experiments to establish the circ_0084615/miR-451a/MEF2D pathway, which provided a better understanding of the adverse effects of fried food preference on human health.

Abstract
Monitoring the long-term spatiotemporal variations in particulate organic phosphorus concentration (CPOP) is imperative for clarifying the phosphorus cycle and its biogeochemical behavior in waters. However, little attention has been devoted to this owing to a lack of suitable bio-optical algorithms that allow the application of remote sensing data. In this study, based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, a novel absorption-based algorithm of CPOP was developed for eutrophic Lake Taihu, China. The algorithm yielded a promising performance with a mean absolute percentage error of 27.75% and root mean square error of 21.09 μg/L. The long-term MODIS-derived CPOP demonstrated an overall increasing pattern over the past 19 years (2003-2021) and a significant temporal heterogeneity in Lake Taihu, with higher value in summer (82.06 ± 3.81 μg/L) and autumn (78.74 ± 3.8 μg/L), and lower CPOP in spring (79.52 ± 3.81 μg/L) and winter (81.97 ± 3.8 μg/L). Spatially, relatively higher CPOP was observed in the Zhushan Bay (85.87 ± 7.5 μg/L), whereas the lower value was observed in the Xukou Bay (78.95 ± 3.48 μg/L). In addition, significant correlations (r > 0.6, P < 0.05) were observed between CPOP and air temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration and cyanobacterial blooms areas, demonstrating that CPOP was greatly influenced by air temperature and algal metabolism. This study provides the first record of the spatial-temporal characteristics of CPOP in Lake Taihu over the past 19 years, and the CPOP results and regulatory factors analyses could provide valuable insights for aquatic ecosystem conservation.

Abstract
High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity results in bone loss associated with an imbalanced gut microbiota and altered immune status. Probiotics are live microorganisms that are beneficial to the host and are important in maintaining bone health and gut homeostasis. In this study, the probiotic Lactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens (T3L) was isolated from traditional yak milk cheese produced in Lhasa and showed distinct acid and bile salt resistance as potential probiotics. Our data indicated that T3L not only reversed HFD-induced gut dysbiosis, as indicated by decreased Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratios but also reduced bone loss. The anti-obesity, microbiome-modulating, and bone-protective effects were transmissible via horizontal faeces transfer from T3L-treated mice to HFD-fed mice. The protective effects of T3L on bone mass were associated with regulatory T (Treg) cell-mediated inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. Our data indicate that T3L is a regulator of the gut microbiota and bone homeostasis in an animal model.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) 28 is overexpressed in multiple types of cancers. The development of potent USP28 inhibitors is still in primitive stage. We previously reported our discovery of Vismodegib as a USP28 inhibitor by screening a commercially available drug library. Herein, we report our efforts to solve the cocrystal structure of Vismodegib bound to USP28 for the first time and subsequent structure-based optimization leading to a series of Vismodegib derivatives as potent USP28 inhibitors. Based on the cocrystal structure, elaborative SARs exploration was carried out to afford much more potent USP28 inhibitors than Vismodegib. The representative compounds 9l, 9o and 9p bearing high potency on USP28 showed high selectivity over USP2, USP7, USP8, USP9x, UCHL3 and UCHL5. The detailed cellular assay suggested that compounds 9l, 9o and 9p could cause cytotoxicity in both human colorectal cancer and lung squamous carcinoma cells and significantly enhance the sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells to Regorafenib. Further immunoblotting analysis indicated that compounds 9l, 9o and 9p could dose-dependently down-regulate the cellular level of c-Myc through ubiquitin-proteasome system and anti-cancer effects could mainly be attributed to their inhibition on USP28 but not involving the Hedgehog-Smoothened pathway. Thus, our work provided a series of novel and potent USP28 inhibitors derived from Vismodegib and may contribute to the development of USP28 inhibitors.

Abstract
Particulate phosphorus (PP) plays an important biological role in the eutrophication process, and is thus an important water quality parameter for assessing climatic change and anthropogenic activity factors that affect aquatic ecosystems. Here, we used 20-year Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data to explore the patterns and trends of PP concentration (CPP) in eutrophic Lake Chaohu based on a new empirical model. The validation results indicated that the developed model performed satisfactorily in estimating CPP, with a mean absolute percentage error of 31.89% and root mean square error of 0.022 mg/L. Long-term MODIS observations (2000-2019) revealed that the CPP of Lake Chaohu has experienced an overall increasing trend and distinct spatiotemporal heterogeneity. The driving factor analysis revealed that the chemical fertilizer consumption, municipal wastewater, industrial sewage, precipitation, and air temperature were the five potential driving factors and collectively explained more than 81% of the long-term variation in CPP. This study provides the long-term datasets of CPP in inland waters and new insights for future water eutrophication control and restoration efforts.

Abstract
Topological superconductors (TSCs) are an exotic field due to the existence of Majorana zero-modes (MZM) in the edge states that obey non-Abelian statistics and can be used to implement topological quantum computations, especially for two-dimensional (2D) materials. Here we predict manganese diboride (Mn2B2) as an intrinsic 2D anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) TSC based on the magnetic and electronic structures of Mn and B atoms. Once Mn2B2 ML enters a superconducting state, MZM will be induced by the spin-polarized helical gapless edge states. The Z2 topological non-trivial properties are confirmed by Wannier charge centers (WCC) and the platform of the spin Hall conductivity near the Fermi level. Phonon-electron coupling (EPC) implies s-wave superconductivity and the critical temperature (Tc) is 6.79 K.

Abstract
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and increases mortality in patients with RA. Early identification of ILD, especially the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern with a poor prognosis, is important for guiding treatment of RA-ILD and preventing damage resulting from a delay in diagnosis. Interleukin-36 (IL-36) cytokines are involved in connective tissue diseases. However, IL-36 expression in RA-ILD is unknown. In this study, the clinical relevance of plasma IL-36 cytokines was evaluated in 39 patients with RA-ILD and three other groups (30 healthy controls [HCs], 35 RA patients without ILD, and 27 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF]) in the Chinese population. Plasma IL-36α and IL-36γ concentrations were elevated in patients with RA-ILD compared with those in HCs and patients with RA. RA-ILD patients with UIP pattern had higher plasma IL-36γ concentrations than those with RA-ILD without UIP, but these were lower than those in patients with IPF. Receiver operating curve analysis suggested that IL-36α and IL-36γ were potential biomarkers for identifying ILD in patients with RA. Additionally, the optimal cutoff value of IL-36γ for distinguishing RA-ILD with the UIP pattern from RA-ILD without UIP was 555.40 pg/mL and that for distinguishing RA-ILD from IPF was 655.10 pg/mL. No significant difference in plasma IL-36β or IL-36Ra concentrations was found between patients with RA-ILD and the three other groups. We also found that the lungs originating from different types of patients with PF, including RA-ILD and IPF, and those from mice following bleomycin-induced PF were characterized by increased IL-36γ expression. Our findings suggest that using IL-36 cytokines to identify patients with RA for further ILD workups may provide additional diagnostic value to the current clinically available assays. Moreover, IL-36γ may help to identify the presence of the UIP pattern in patients with RA-ILD and to discriminate RA-ILD from IPF.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between sarcopenia and overactive bladder (OAB) in a United States adult population from 2011 to 2018, and whether sarcopenia can predict the risk of OAB. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed data from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in a cross-sectional study(NHANES) of 8746 participants, of whom 1213 were diagnosed with OAB, we analyzed correlations by sex, age, race, education level, marital status, household income-to-poverty ratio, hypertension, diabetes, strenuous work activity, moderate work activity, strenuous recreational activity, moderate recreational activity, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and uric acid levels using restricted cubic spline plots of dose-response curves, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Models based on sex, age, education, household income to poverty ratio, hypertension, diabetes, sarcopenia index, and cotinine were developed and evaluated using Nomogram, calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic curves, and clinical decision curves. RESULTS Of the 1213 OAB patients, 388 (32.0%) were male and 825 (68.0%) were female. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that sarcopenia index was negatively correlated with the prevalence of OAB (OR=0.084, 95% CI, 0.056 - 0.130, P <0.001;OR=0.456, 95%CI, 0.215-0.968, P= 0.0041). Dose curve analysis of the sarcopenia index and prevalence of OAB showed that the prevalence of OAB decreased significantly with increasing sarcopenia index. Sarcopenia was positively correlated with OAB (OR=2.400, 95%CI, 2.000 - 2.800, P <0.001;OR=1.46, 95%CI, 1.096 -1.953, P = 0.010). In addition, our model shows that sarcopenia can predict the prevalence of OAB (AUC = 0.750) and has some clinical decision-making implications. CONCLUSION Sarcopenia is positively associated with the risk of OAB in United States adults and can be used as a predictor of OAB prevalence.

Abstract
Acid-pretreated pistachio shells were used as carbon sources to investigate the effects of carbon source dosage on simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal under different carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratios (7, 9, and 11). Results showed that C/N was positively correlated with mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) (R2 = 0.998, p < 0.01) and f value (R2 = 0.975, p < 0.05). Moreover, it was negatively correlated with the sludge volume index (SVI) (R2 = - 0.959, p < 0.05). C/N was also significantly negatively related to chemical oxygen demand removal rate (R2 = - 0.986, p < 0.05) and positively related to ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) removal rate (p < 0.05), the correlation coefficients were 0.992, 0.990 and 0.994, respectively. In the reactor with C/N of 11, the MLSS concentration and f value were the highest, the SVI was the lowest, and the removal efficiencies of NH4+-N (85.49 % ± 1.96 %), TN (84.19 % ± 1.42 %) and TP (94.10 % ± 1.67 %) were the highest. Furthermore, the relative abundance of denitrifying bacteria was the highest in the reactor. The abundance of nitrifying bacteria and phosphorus-removal bacteria was also relatively high.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical strategy and effect of soft tissue reconstruction after sacral tumor resection in different planes. Methods: The data of 27 consecutive patients who underwent primary or secondary sacral tumor resection and soft tissue reconstruction from June 2012 to June 2021 at Dongnan Hospital of Xiamen University (the 909th Hospital) were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 16 females, aged (M(IQR)) (46.2±23.6) years (range: 16 to 72 years). Sacrospinous muscle, gluteus maximus and vertical rectus abdominis muscle flap were selected for soft tissue reconstruction according to the tumor site and the size of tissue defect. the postoperative follow-up was performed. The operative methods, intraoperative conditions, complications and disease outcomes were summarized. Results: Among the 27 patients with sacral tumor, the tumor plane was located in S1 in 8 cases, S2 in 5 cases and S3 or below in 14 cases. There were 12 patients with tumor volume≤400 cm3 and 15 patients with tumor volume>400 cm3. Operation time was 100(90) minutes (range: 70 to 610 minutes), intraoperative blood loss was 800(1 600) ml (range: 400 to 6 500 ml). Soft tissue reconstruction was performed by transabdominal rectus abdominis transfer repair in 2 cases, extraperitoneal rectus abdominis transfer repair in 1 case, gluteus maximus transfer repair in 5 cases, gluteus maximus advancement repair in 13 cases, and sacrospinous muscle transfer repair in 6 cases. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 cases, including 1 case of incision infection, 4 cases of skin border necrosis, and 1 case of delayed infection due to fracture of internal fixator 3 years after operation, all of them were cured. The follow-up time was (35±21) months. Among the patients, 6 patients had recurrence, 2 patients with Ewing sarcoma died of lung metastasis 1 year after operation, 4 patients with metastatic cancer died of primary disease, and the remaining patients survived without disease. Conclusion: Choosing different soft tissue reconstruction strategies according to sacral tumor location and tissue defect size can effectively fill the dead space after sacral tumor resection, reduce postoperative complications and improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
In order to solve the problem of shortage of carbon source for biological denitrification in advanced treatment of the effluent from secondary treatment of sewage, five kinds of fruit shells (pistachio shell, peanut shell, ginkgo shell, walnut shell and hazelnut shell) were preliminarily selected from eight kinds of fruit shells for experiments of static carbon release and denitrification. The carbon release performance (amount and law of carbon release and biodegradability of released carbon) and denitrification performance of different shells were investigated. Results showed that the peanut shell had the largest amount of carbon release (0.88 mg chemical oxygen demand [COD] g-1) and the highest removal rate of nitrate (NO3--N) (76.48% ± 4.06%). However, the released carbon could not be fully utilized by denitrifying bacteria, resulting in a (205.90% ± 59.49%) increase in effluent COD compared with influent. The amounts of carbon release of ginkgo nut shell, walnut shell, and hazelnut shell were low (0.45, 0.41, and 0.43 mg COD g-1, respectively). The released carbon could not be used easily by microorganisms. Meanwhile, the contents of degradable aromatic protein and protein-like in dissolved organic matter (DOM) were low. Even the fulvic acid-like with low biodegradability also appeared in the soaking solution of the hazelnut shell. The NO3--N and total nitrogen aveage removal rates were low in these three fruit shells and showed the removals within the 54.10-57.25% range and 52.21%-54.24% range, respectively. The amount of carbon release of pistachio shell was lower than that of peanut shell. However, the released carbon of the former was more biodegradable than that of the latter. Moreover, the relative molecular mass of DOM was small, and the contents of aromatic protein and protein-like were much higher than those of the four other kinds of fruit shells. The NO3--N removal rate (71.48% ± 0.98%) of pistachio shell was only slightly lower than that of peanut shell. In conclusion, pistachio shell was the best carbon source for biological denitrification in the advanced treatment.

Abstract
The hydrodynamics in the diverging area become complicated because of the basin hydrological conditions, making the distribution of antibiotics largely uncertain and thus bringing uncertain ecological risks of antibiotics. Through field sampling, experiments and numerical simulations, the distribution of antibiotics, its responses to hydrological conditions were studied. Antibiotics in the bifurcated river sediments was mainly distributed in the branch mouth. The hydrodynamic regions were affected by the hydrological frequency. Notably, the center of the low-velocity area moved upstream and gradually expands to the entire tributary as the hydrological frequency shifted from high to low. ENRO (enrofloxacin) and OFC (ofloxacin) were the key hazardous antibiotics affecting the ecological health in the diverging area, and their concentrations are mainly affected by sediment particle size (D < 0.15 mm) and oxygen content. The ecological risk of antibiotics in the diverging area were gradually decreased with the increase of the distance from the central area. The water physical and chemical properties, altered by the river basin hydrological conditions, play an important role in influencing the distribution of antibiotic concentrations, and ultimately posing great threat to aquatic ecosystem. The research provides a scientific basis for antibiotic risk control in the diverging area under different hydrological conditions.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of staged total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed on both knees in the same patient using gap balancing (GB) and measured resection (MR) techniques, respectively. Methods: The clinical data of 57 patients undergoing bilateral staged TKA at the Xi'an Jiaotong University Affiliated Honghui Hospital from July 2018 to January 2020 were analyzed. Using the random number table, MR or GB technique was selected when patients underwent primary TKA, and contralateral procedure was done with another technique. The procedures were performed by one chief surgeon, and the same prosthesis was chosen for all the procedures. The two osteotomy techniques for TKA were compared in terms of surgical status, radiographic data, functional recovery and satisfaction rate. Results: Total of 57 patients, including 16 males and 41 females, were included in the study with a mean age of (68.5±4.6) years (59-79 years) at primary TKA. All patients were followed up for (29.6±4.5) months (22-39 months). The interval between the two procedures was (4.7±3.0) months (0.5-12.0 months). Postoperative drainage was less in the GB side when compared with that in the MR side [(93.6±22.2) ml vs (109.9±36.9) ml, P=0.003]. At the 1-month postoperative follow-up, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain was lower on the GB side (3.0±0.8) than on the MR side (3.5±1.2), the range of motion (ROM) was higher on the GB side (105.7°±8.2° vs 100.2°±7.5°), the Knee Society Score (KSS) was higher on the GB side (78.5±5.4 vs 74.2±6.3), and the Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) score was lower on the GB side (35.4±5.5 vs 38.0±6.3), there were significant differences in the up-mentioned indexes between the two groups (all P<0.05). However, the repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated that there was no significant difference in VAS score, ROM, KSS score and WOMAC score between the two techniques (all P>0.05). The satisfactory rate of GB technique was 84.2%(48/57), ant it was 86.0%(49/57) with MR technique (P=0.446). There was also no significant difference between the two techniques in terms of complications (P=0.754). Conclusion: Both the GB and MR technique result in good knee function with similar clinical outcomes in patients receiving TKA in both knees for osteoarthritis without significant deformity.

Abstract
Objectives This study examines the relationship between COVID-19 disclosure stigma and COVID-19 testing hesitancy and assesses their changes between November 2020 and 2021. Study design This was a longitudinal cohort. Methods A total of 355 participants completed four study waves between November 2020 and November 2021. Factor analyses and Cronbach's alpha assessed the factor structure and internal consistency of the COVID-19 Disclosure Stigma scale. Paired t-tests and McNemar's Chi-squared test assessed change between the study waves. Multivariable logistic regression models examined the relationship between COVID-19 disclosure stigma and testing hesitancy at four study waves. Results COVID-19 disclosure stigma declined significantly between the last study waves (P = 0.030). The greatest disclosure concern was reporting a positive test to close contacts (range: 19%–21%) followed by disclosure to friends (range: 10%–15%) and family (range: 4%–10%). Over the course of the four study waves, COVID-19 testing hesitancy when symptomatic ranged from 23% to 30%. Older age, female gender, and having received a COVID-19 vaccine were associated with decreased odds of testing hesitancy. Greater COVID-19 disclosure stigma and more conservative political ideology showed a consistent relationship with increased odds of COVID-19 testing hesitancy. Conclusions Study findings suggest that many people anticipate feeling stigmatized when disclosing positive test results, especially to close contacts. A substantial percentage of study participants reported hesitancy to be tested when symptomatic. This study identifies a need for interventions that normalize COVID-19 testing (e.g. engaging leaders with conservative followings), provide strategies for disclosing positive results, and allow anonymous notification of potential COVID-19 exposure.

Abstract
Objective: To prepare graphene oxide (GO)-containing gelatin methacrylate anhydride (GelMA) hydrogel and to investigate the effects of in situ photopolymerized GO-GelMA composite hydrogel in wound vascularization of full-thickness skin defect in mice. Methods: The experimental study method was used. The 50 μL of 0.2 mg/mL GO solution was evenly applied onto the conductive gel, and the structure and size of GO were observed under field emission scanning electron microscope after drying. Human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) were divided into 0 μg/mL GO (without GO solution, the same as below) group, 0.1 μg/mL GO group, 1.0 μg/mL GO group, 5.0 μg/mL GO group, and 10.0 μg/mL GO group treated with GO of the corresponding final mass concentration, and the absorbance value was detected using a microplate analyzer after 48 h of culture to reflect the proliferation activity of cells (n=6). HSFs and human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were divided into 0 μg/mL GO group, 0.1 μg/mL GO group, 1.0 μg/mL GO group, and 5.0 μg/mL GO group treated with GO of the corresponding final mass concentration, and the migration rates of HSFs at 24 and 36 h after scratching (n=5) and HUVECs at 12 h after scratching (n=3) were detected by scratch test, and the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted by HSFs after 4, 6, and 8 h of culture was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method (n=3). The prepared GO-GelMA composite hydrogels containing GO of the corresponding final mass concentration were set as 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, 0.1 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, 1.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, and 5.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group to observe their properties before and after cross-linking, and to detect the release of GO after soaking with phosphate buffer solution for 3 and 7 d (n=3). The full-thickness skin defect wounds were made on the back of 16 6-week-old female C57BL/6 mice. The mice treated with in situ cross-linked GO-GelMA composite hydrogel containing GO of the corresponding final mass concentration were divided into 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, 0.1 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, 1.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, and 5.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group according to the random number table, with 4 mice in each group. The general condition of wound was observed and the wound healing rate was calculated on 3, 7, and 14 d of treatment, the wound blood perfusion was detected by laser Doppler flowmetry on 3, 7, and 14 d of treatment and the mean perfusion unit (MPU) ratio was calculated, and the wound vascularization on 7 d of treatment was observed after hematoxylin-eosin staining and the vascular density was calculated (n=3). The wound tissue of mice in 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group and 0.1 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group on 7 d of treatment was collected to observe the relationship between the distribution of GO and neovascularization by hematoxylin-eosin staining (n=3) and the expression of VEGF by immunohistochemical staining. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey's method. Results: GO had a multilayered lamellar structure with the width of about 20 μm and the length of about 50 μm. The absorbance value of HSFs in 10.0 μg/mL GO group was significantly lower than that in 0 μg/mL GO group after 48 h of culture (q=7.64, P<0.01). At 24 h after scratching, the migration rates of HSFs were similar in the four groups (P>0.05); at 36 h after scratching, the migration rate of HSFs in 0.1 μg/mL GO group was significantly higher than that in 0 μg/mL GO group, 1.0 μg/mL GO group, and 5.0 μg/mL GO group (with q values of 7.48, 10.81, and 10.20, respectively, P<0.01). At 12 h after scratching, the migration rate of HUVECs in 0.1 μg/mL GO group was significantly higher than that in 0 μg/mL GO group, 1.0 μg/mL GO group, and 5.0 μg/mL GO group (with q values of 7.11, 8.99, and 14.92, respectively, P<0.01), and the migration rate of HUVECs in 5.0 μg/mL GO group was significantly lower than that in 0 μg/mL GO group and 1.0 μg/mL GO group (with q values of 7.81 and 5.33, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01 ). At 4 and 6 h of culture, the VEGF expressions of HSFs in the four groups were similar (P>0.05); at 8 h of culture, the VEGF expression of HSFs in 0.1 μg/mL GO group was significantly higher than that in 0 μg/mL GO group and 5.0 μg/mL GO group (with q values of 4.75 and 4.48, respectively, P<0.05). The GO-GelMA composite hydrogels in the four groups were all red liquid before cross-linking, which turned to light yellow gel after cross-linking, with no significant difference in fluidity. The GO in the GO-GelMA composite hydrogel of 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group had no release of GO at all time points; the GO in the GO-GelMA composite hydrogels of the other 3 groups was partially released on 3 d of soaking, and all the GO was released on 7 d of soaking. From 3 to 14 d of treatment, the wounds of mice in the 4 groups were covered with hydrogel dressings, kept moist, and gradually healed. On 3, 7, and 14 d of treatment, the wound healing rates of mice in the four groups were similar (P>0.05). On 3 d of treatment, the MPU ratio of wound of mice in 0.1 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that in 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, 1.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, and 5.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group (with q values of 10.70, 11.83, and 10.65, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). On 7 and 14 d of treatment, the MPU ratios of wound of mice in the four groups were similar (P>0.05). The MPU ratio of wound of mice in 0.1 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group on 7 d of treatment was significantly lower than that on 3 d of treatment (q=14.38, P<0.05), and that on 14 d of treatment was significantly lower than that on 7 d of treatment (q=27.78, P<0.01). On 7 d of treatment, the neovascular density of wound of mice on 7 d of treatment was 120.7±4.1 per 200 times of visual field, which was significantly higher than 61.7±1.3, 77.7±10.2, and 99.0±7.9 per 200 times of visual field in 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, 1.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, and 5.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group (with q values of 12.88, 7.79, and 6.70, respectively, P<0.01), and the neovascular density of wound of mice in 1.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group and 5.0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that in 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group (with q values of 5.10 and 6.19, respectively, P<0.05). On 7 d of treatment, cluster of new blood vessels in wound of mice in 0.1 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group was significantly more than that in 0 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group, and the new blood vessels were clustered near the GO; a large amount of VEGF was expressed in wound of mice in 0.1 μg/mL GO composite hydrogel group in the distribution area of GO and new blood vessels. Conclusions: GO with mass concentration lower than 10.0 μg/mL had no adverse effect on proliferation activity of HSFs, and GO of 0.1 μg/mL can promote the migration of HSFs and HUVECs, and can promote the secretion of VEGF in HSFs. In situ photopolymerized of GO-GelMA composite hydrogel dressing can promote the wound neovascularization of full-thickness skin defect in mice and increase wound blood perfusion in the early stage, with GO showing an enrichment effect on angiogenesis, and the mechanism may be related to the role of GO in promoting the secretion of VEGF by wound cells.

Abstract
AIM Nonagenarians with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) have a high mortality rate; however, appropriate tools for reliable severity assessment in this population are lacking. The current study aimed to evaluate the risk factors and establish a nomogram to predict in-hospital mortality of nonagenarians with CAP. METHODS In total, 304 patients aged ≥90 years who were admitted with CAP to Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital and Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical information, laboratory imaging results and pathogen detection were retrieved. Significant variables independently associated with CAP were identified by a logistic regression model, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The nomogram was compared with the widely used assessments: CURB-65, PSI and National Early Warning Score (NEWS) scores. RESULTS Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified gender, blood urea nitrogen, C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, Charlson Comorbidity Index and systemic immune inflammation index as independent factors that affect the prognosis. We created a nomogram for CAP based on these risk factors. The nomogram had a bootstrapped concordance index of 0.796 and was well-calibrated in the decision analysis curve range of 0.1-0.98. The area under the curve was 0.796 (95% CI: 0.74-0.85), significantly higher than for CURB-65, PSI and NEWS scores (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our nomogram model can predict the outcome of hospitalized nonagenarians with CAP and guide clinicians to provide better treatment, leading to improved prognosis and reduced mortality.

Abstract
The oral gingival barrier is a constantly stimulated and dynamic environment where homeostasis is often disrupted, resulting in inflammatory periodontal diseases. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been reported to be associated with gingival barrier dysfunction, but the effect and underlying mechanism are inconclusive. Herein, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of gingiva from leptin receptor-deficient mice (db/db) to examine the gingival heterogeneity in the context of T2D. Periodontal health of control mice is characterized by populations of Krt14+-expressing epithelial cells and Col1a1+-fibroblasts mediating immune homeostasis primarily through the enrichment of innate lymphoid cells. The db/db gingiva exhibited decreased epithelial/stromal ratio and dysfunctional barrier. We further observed stromal, particularly fibroblast immune hyperresponsiveness, linked to the recruitment of myeloid-derived cells at the db/db gingiva. Both scRNA-seq and histological analysis suggested the inflammatory signaling between fibroblasts and neutrophils as a potential driver of diabetes-induced periodontal damage. Notably, the "immune-like" stromal cells were wired toward the induction of gingival γδ T hyperresponsiveness in db/db mice. Our work reveals that the "immune-like" fibroblasts with transcriptional diversity are involved in the innate immune homeostasis at the diabetic gingiva. It highlights a potentially significant role of these cell types in its pathogenesis.

Abstract
Diverging area is widespread in river networks, and understanding its biogeochemical process characteristics is of great significance to river ecological restoration and environmental quality improvement. Microbial communities affected by hydrodynamics play an important role in biogeochemical processes, but their relationship in diverging area is little known. Here, the composition of microbial community and its feedback to hydrodynamics and nitrogen conversion in the diverging area of river networks were first studied by coupling ecological theory, biogeochemical theory, microbial DNA sequencing and mathematical model of water environment. The results showed that there were five hydrodynamic zones with significant velocity differences in the diverging area, namely low velocity zone, maximum velocity zone, stagnant zone, separation zone, and deflection zone. According to the flow velocity grouping, there were significant differences in the microbial diversity and abundance among low velocity group, maximum velocity group and stagnant group had significant differences (p < 0.05, stress = 0.1207). In the low velocity group, Firmicutes was the dominant phylum which had a highest abundance and may promot the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia nitrogen. In the maximum velocity group, Bdellovibrionota was the dominant phylum which had a highest abundance and may promot the conversion of nitrate and nitric oxide to nitrogen. In the stagnant zone, Methylomirabilota was the dominant phylum which had a highest abundance and may promot the conversion of nitrogen into nitrate and ammonium. In addition, dissolved oxygen was the most sensitive environmental factor for shaping microorganisms and nitrogen conversion in the diverging area of the river networks by canonical correlation analysis. The denitrifying bacteria Rhodocyclaceae, was shown to negatively correlated with the flow velocity. This research improves the scientific basis for the study of the ecosystem in river networks, which will guide the construction of river ecological projects.

Objective: To improve the diagnostic accuracy of pulmonary artery sarcoma, and to distinguish it from central chronic pulmonary thromboembolism using CT scans. Methods: In this retrospective study, two groups of pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS group) and central chronic pulmonary thromboembolism (central CPTE group) confirmed by pathology at our hospital between August 2009 and July 2019 were enrolled, clinical features and pre-operative CT pulmonary artery manifestation were collected, and the key points of differential diagnosis were summarized. Results: The study was composed of 13 cases in the PAS group including 10 males (76.9%), with an average age of (45.4±15.5) years. There were 19 patients in the central CPTE group including 14 males (73.7%), with an average age of (38.6±14.1) years. There were no significant differences in gender and age between the two groups. Deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities was significantly higher in the central CPTE group than in the PAS group (7/19 vs. 0/13, P=0.025), and the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide value was higher in the central CPTE group than in the PAS group [674.50(261.70-1 977.70) vs. 66.00(28.10-505.50),P=0.001]. In CT pulmonary angiography, the involvement of the main pulmonary artery, and the proximal lesion showing an acute angle to the pulmonary artery wall were more common in the PAS group [11(84.6%) vs. 5(26.3%), P=0.003; 11(84.6%) vs. 2(10.5%), P<0.001, respectively]. The swelling index of the main pulmonary and the left/right main pulmonary arteries in the PAS group were significantly higher, as well as the dilatation in the lobar and segmental pulmonary arteries [1.19±0.17 vs. 0.99±0.19,P=0.006, 10(76.9%) vs. 2(10.5%), P<0.001, respectively]. The right ventricular transverse diameter/left ventricular transverse diameter (RVd/LVd) and pulmonary artery diameter/ascending aortic diameter ratio (Pad/Aod) were significantly lower in PAS group than those in the central CPTE group (0.97±0.19 vs. 1.23±0.35,P=0.020; 0.98±0.25 vs. 1.15±0.20,P=0.039). Conclusions: In CT pulmonary angiography, filling defects involving the main pulmonary artery and showing expansive growth were highly suggestive of pulmonary artery sarcoma. The history of deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities was helpful for the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary embolism.

Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) is at a special anatomic site with obviously higher morbidity of postoperative complication than gastric cancers at other sites. Postoperative quality of life and survival rate are influenced by the occurrence of complications. Moreover, the perioperative complications are associated with multiple factors such as patient factors (advanced age, obesity and preoperative nutritional status), surgical factors (surgical route, surgical procedure, resection range and prophylactic multivisceral resection), tumor factors (size, stage) etc. Optimizing perioperative management and formulating standardized surgical methods are the key points to prevent postoperative complications of AEG. In conclusion, we should strive to ensure the radical resection and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications in order to truly benefit patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of liraglutide/liraglutide + metformin in overweight/obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS The related literatures published until April 2021 were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and EmBase. RESULTS Six randomized controlled trials of 127 related articles were obtained through searching. Three articles compared liraglutide with metformin, and four articles compared liraglutide combined with metformin with metformin. Our meta-analysis suggests that liraglutide was superior to metformin only in weight loss [MD = - 2.74, 95% CI (- 4.29, - 1.18), P = 0.0006]. Compared with metformin group, the combination group had significant advantages in weight loss [MD = - 3.81, 95% CI (- 5.16, - 2.46), P < 0.001], BMI [MD = - 2.59, 95% CI (- 3.12, - 2.07), P < 0.001], waist circumference [MD = - 6.26, 95% CI (- 7.79, - 4.72), P < 0.001], fasting blood glucose [MD = - 0.59, 95% CI (- 0.74, - 0.44), P < 0.001] and fasting insulin [MD = - 1.52, 95% CI (- 2.69, - 0.35), P = 0.01], while the incidence of adverse reactions was relatively high [RR = 2.91, 95% CI (1.55, 5.46), P = 0.00009]. CONCLUSION The present results indicate that liraglutide and metformin have the similar effects in the treatment of overweight/obese PCOS patients. Liraglutide combined with metformin is more effective than metformin in improving PCOS, but it is necessary to master the correct medication method to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
